Chapter 47: Talks Affecting the Entire Commonwealth
Chapter 47 Conversations that Influence the Whole Federation
"It is my honor to be able to see the heir of the most mysterious and ancient family in the Federation, and such a young and courageous and judgmental heir... This is my honor." The middle-aged man seemed to have no aura of those anti-government troops in the mountains, but instead expressed his respect for the Tai family as gentle as a businessman.
"I didn't expect that you anti-government figures would flatter like politicians in the federal government." Tai Zhiyuan said slightly mocking.
"If it makes you feel better, I don't mind slapping the flattery a little more."
Tai Zhiyuan looked at the No. 2 figure of the anti-government army not far away in front of him and gradually compared it with the image in the information, but found that these two images could not overlap.
"Whether it is the Federation or within your organization, it seems that there is only one code name for you, that is...he." His mood gradually calmed down, and he said, "But there is always a title in the conversation."
"Young Master Tai can call me a mountain man." said the middle-aged man.
Tai Zhiyuan shook his head calmly and persistently: "I don't like this kind of literary and artistic title."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Then you call me Zhongcai."
"Well, Mr. Zhongcai, I don't want to say anything like how stupid you are. How many people in the Federation want you to die? You should know more about this kind of thing than me."
Tai Zhiyuan knew that he was not facing ordinary characters, but very troublesome characters in the Federation. Moreover, this was the first time he had truly spoken independently with the family and major forces as the heir of the Tai family since he became an adult, so he seemed particularly cautious and said a few more words to gain time to calm himself down.
"Please tell me what you are trying to do." He stared at the middle-aged man's ugly triangle eyes and asked directly.
"I came with the instructions of 70,000 soldiers in the mountains. The hope of 13 million federal citizens of the four states around the mountains and the trust of Comrade Nanshui." The tone of the middle-aged man appeared particularly serious at this moment. "I came with the will of peace, hoping to get a response from the Federation."
...
Peace? What a familiar and unfamiliar word. Especially for the federal government and the anti-government forces, the anti-government forces have been fighting forcefully in the four states around the mountains for many years. Although the military color has gradually faded in the past twenty years, the upper-class people in the federal level are cleared that the foundation of the anti-government forces is still above their military power. The two sides have cleared and counterattacked countless years. I don’t know how many people have died in it, and countless blood has dyed every inch of land in the mountains red. Peace!
Tai Zhiyuan's fingers stirring coffee were instantly stiff, and a strange expression gradually appeared on his slightly white cheeks. He never expected that the second-ranked figure of the anti-government army would actually throw such a heavyweight bomb!
There are countless rounds of peace negotiations between the federal government and the anti-government forces. How many peace agreements have been obtained, but in the end, the agreement will be fulfilled due to the treason or the outbreak of unexpected events in one party. Even in recent years, moderates in the anti-government forces have already entered the federal political stage and began to seek support from voters in a non-violent image, but in fact, in areas outside the media's sense of touch, the armed conflict between the government forces and the anti-government forces has continued.
If it was a general peace talk, Tai Zhiyuan would definitely not be so shocked, but since the person in front of him was the second-person of the anti-government army and the backbone of Nanshui's trust, the peace he mentioned was naturally not the peace on paper, but the peace that could be truly implemented.
"You should contact the President's Office or the Ministry of National Defense directly." Tai Zhiyuan took a deep breath. He suppressed the faint excitement in his heart and said calmly: "If you are really willing to let the Federation return to a peaceful period without civil war, on behalf of the Tai family, I will express my twelve welcome to this and immediately provide comprehensive support to the four states around the mountains."
This is beautiful, but in fact it means not to say it. The peaceful negotiations between the government and the anti-government army should have been negotiated by politicians and professional soldiers, and Tai Zhiyuan did not have the urge to participate. He knew that although this could bring him rich political capital and reputation among citizens, this kind of matter is destined to be complex and risky. If you are not careful, you will become a black hole to swallow everything.
"Young Master Tai was joking. If I could talk to the federal president or those soldiers, I wouldn't come to you." The middle-aged man replied calmly: "The federal government is used to being treacherous. If we really put down the firearms in our hands and stopped the roar of the engines of the armored vehicles, maybe the next day, countless mechas and planes will start to attack the mountainous areas..."
"Then you shouldn't look for me either." Tai Zhiyuan said as calmly as possible: "I am just a young man who is still studying, and you can't expect me to do anything."
"But everyone in the major forces wants to contact you at this time, because everyone knows that after the coming-of-age ceremony, Mrs. Tai will gradually put her family career back into your hands." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "What's more, Mrs. Tai is not that easy to meet. I am not a member of Medellin. I am a person who is still on the list of federal war criminals. If I dare to show my identity in the Capital Special Administrative Region and ask for a meeting, I believe that in three minutes, countless soldiers will start chasing me."
"This is a good thing. It is always easier to meet a student like me." Tai Zhiyuan said: "But the problem is that although I have just completed the coming-of-age ceremony, according to the family rules, I cannot decide everything in the family immediately."
"I believe Mrs. Tai will gradually transfer the decision-making power to your hands." The middle-aged man said calmly: "The Tai family, which has been mysteriously low-key for countless years, has not yet promoted your coming-of-age ceremony this year, but those who have gradually come to Lihua University have proved that Mrs. Tai has not continued to conceal your wishes from the public... If I guess well, after the study at Lihua University, you will enter the military, and maybe you will also go to the Xilin Front to accumulate military merits, and then start to enter the government department to start business work, about ten years later. You will start to enter the political circle and prepare for that final purpose."
"The final destination?" Tai Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes. He once again discovered that this man who was extremely mysterious in the federal archives was indeed not a person who could be easily controlled. At least the other party had an extremely powerful intelligence system and analysis and judgment ability, which was shocking in itself.
"In addition to the president... the Tai family is interested in what role-playing on the table for the first time?" The middle-aged man smiled and said, "But that's been many years later. What we are talking about now is the matter."
Speaking of what happened immediately, the middle-aged man's tone became much more serious and cautious: "The federal military has been preparing for the invasion of the mountainous areas in the end, which made Comrade Nanshui and me feel unprecedented pressure..."
"The federal embargo and sanctions have caused extremely scarcity of supplies in the mountains. The federal sympathizes with your citizens. Even if they want to continue secret donations in the past few years, they cannot be delivered to you because of the channels being unobstructed. Moreover, because of the existence of Medellin MPs, your public support base in the four states around the mountains has been greatly divided."
Tai Zhiyuan easily pointed out the current dilemma of the anti-government forces, "There are fewer and fewer people supporting you, so you thought of the word "peace?"
"The times are better than people." A trace of vicissitudes flashed between the middle-aged man's eyebrows, "So I came with sincerity and seek your family's response."
"I still can't understand." Tai Zhiyuan did not feel uneasy because the other party exposes the family's future arrangements for his political future, and said coldly: "Even if I can make decisions within the family... But what does this have to do with the peaceful negotiations between your anti-government forces and the government? I never deny the family's influence on federal politics, but I never be so arrogant that I think I can change the attitude of the entire federal government."
"But you can try to change the attitude of the federal president." The middle-aged man looked at Tai Zhiyuan and said with a smile: "Next year will be the presidential election, and I know that Prabble has met his wife."
Tai Zhiyuan picked up the coffee cup but did not drink it and pondered for a long time. The intelligence leader of the anti-government army once again proved to him the powerful power of his subordinates' intelligence networks.
The middle-aged man did not stop his mouth because of Tai Zhiyuandi's silence and continued to analyze calmly: "So, there are a few points that I have to risk coming to talk to you. 1. Compared with this federal president and government, our anti-government forces trust the moral standards of Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur Parbur
"So we hope that the Tai family can help us and let us negotiate a major settlement agreement directly with the Pablo Councilor." The middle-aged man continued to whine: "We trust the Tai family's demeanor and the political ethics of the Pablo Councilor. Once the agreement is reached, the Pablo Councilor will also obtain extremely wonderful political capital from it, thereby ensuring his success in the presidential election next year."
It has to be said that this intelligence leader of the anti-government army was also a very outstanding lobbyist. At this moment, Tai Zhiyuan admitted that he was a little moved, but he was even more alert when he was moved. A guy from the anti-government army was actually more experienced than those professional brokers outside the Capital Management Committee. Such a person should not be taken lightly.
"What conditions do you need?" Tai Zhiyuan asked calmly.
"Before Pablo becomes president, negotiations begin. During the negotiations, can the forces assembled by the federal military take a leave first? At the same time, the federal government's economic blockade... can it be made privately?" The middle-aged man smiled and offered a price: "After Pablo's MP is elected as president, it is natural that everything is easy to discuss."
