Yiming returns to Azus City.***Reprinted from

After Di Te received this news, he felt like he had fallen into an ice cave.

As a negotiator of the Federation, he was already under too much pressure and the other losses were easy to compensate, but the issue of the plains was what Dite was most worried about. As a diplomatic veteran, Dite knew that Yuriya would never give up this territory. The Federation also knew that it was difficult, so he pushed this tricky task to himself. Although Dite knew that the Federation was also considering how to seize the plain before he achieved his mission, it was not a simple matter! Although recent reports showed that it was very smooth, Dite's heart was particularly nervous because Imming and Meyalie were about to return to the city. He almost prayed every morning when he woke up, praying that Imming would come back two days later, and it would be better not to come back forever.

But it's a pity that the truth cannot be as he wished.

Not only did Yi Ming come back, but he also asked to negotiate with Dite on the same day.

Diet couldn't refuse.

It's only one day to drag it out.

With this idea in mind, Dite stepped into the conference room with a serious expression.

"Are you the representative of the Federation?"

Yi Mingwei raised his head, glanced at the man in front of him, and nodded.

"Sit down."

"Just call me Dite. Dear Lord Diming."

Dite bent down gracefully to salute. Then he quickly swept around.

Another Earl Miss in the intelligence is not here?

The absence of Mealli's presence made Dite feel a little uneasy. But he soon discovered that Marien Alinoa and a magician who had never seen him were sitting next to Iming. This made Dite frown slightly.

"Mr. Yiming."

He did not take his seat, but reminded him with a little dissatisfaction.

"I think what we are going to talk about next is the confidential issue belonging to our Federation and your country..."

"I know, so I brought them here."

Yi Ming interrupted Diet's hint impatiently.

"What's your problem?"

“……………No, this…no.”

So what if Diet has it? If he dares to say it, he will be interfering in his internal affairs! Such a big hat cannot be taken by a small diplomat like him. He originally thought that Marian was a nobleman who lost his power, and Elinoa was a royal family. In theory, Yi Ming, who belongs to the Academy Council, could not allow them to attend such a meeting, but he did not expect that Yi Ming would actually pull them over. What is this? Isn’t he afraid that the Academy Council will know that the royal family members will make any trouble?

But Dite did not dare to say anything. He had no choice but to swallow his saliva helplessly, and then prepared to start the "drag" method according to the original plan. "Then, dear Lord Yiming, the act of the two countries in the unauthorized attack on you is inappropriate. They have paid a considerable price for their reckless actions. In order to express our apology, we send it to you..." As he said, Dite looked through the materials in his hand and continued. "The war compensation of 200,000 gold coins. Five thousand young and strong horses, and......"

"Please wait a moment."

Alinoa signaled Dit to stop for the moment, then asked.

"Your Federation should be very clear about the consequences of invading our country. Although we all understand that there are some misunderstandings, the facts are there after all. I think our country should put forward the conditions first."

"this…………"

Dite's face changed slightly. Indeed, they were defeated countries, why were they so stupid? They actually revealed their cards first? Was it because they were too nervous when they saw the boy in front of them? Or... Thinking of this, Dite took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. Be calm, be calm. Fortunately, this is only part of it. The President of the Parliament once promised him that as long as he did not lose the plains, he would let Lea's conditions go at will...

"Then, our country requires compensation of 5,367,200 gold coins, as well as 15,000 military horses, 5,000 tons of magic metal, and 300 Hamkrays. At the same time, we require your Federation to reduce the transit trade tax of the Imperial merchants within 50 years as advance compensation. The series of numbers that kept popping up from Elinoa's mouth almost made Dite's mind go wrong. And Elinoa's last words made Dite almost jump from the chair that he finally sat firmly. Is this "pre-term" compensation? Judging from Elinoa's meaning, is there still "latest stage"?

"Will this... be a little too much?"

Di Te wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and slowly defended himself.

“Are there many?”

Marian took Alinoa's words.

"According to our investigation, the total annual tax revenue of the eight countries of the Federation is 97 million gold coins, of which the magic metal produced by the mining kingdom Ailsen every year is about 7,000 tons. As for 15,000 military horses, I think Bright, the grassland kingdom, can't afford it."

These two women are really investigating clearly!

Di Te wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Seeing that Yi Ming had no reaction, he had to continue talking helplessly.

"But these two countries have not participated in the invasion of your country... I'm afraid this is not good."

"It is true. But if I remember correctly, have the eight federal states signed a series of alliance agreements? Didn't the Federation appear as the United Nations League? So I think it is a very reasonable requirement to propose a compensation bill to the eight federal states at the same time."

This damn alliance proposal!!

Diet was almost crazy in his heart. At that time, eight small countries signed alliance bills to survive the surrounding big countries, which led to the birth of the Federation. The federal agreement clearly stipulates that if one country is attacked, the other seven countries must support it. Similarly, if a country causes trouble, the other seven countries will also bear joint and several liability together. These two women are really cruel! If Diet rejects their proposal now, it is equivalent to separating the two countries from the other six countries. As the representative of the Federation, if he does this, it is equivalent to expelling the two countries from the Federation. This is not a small foreign diplomat, a small foreign affairs diplomat, can make a decision! Before he came this time, the president of parliament did not ask him to make a decision to abandon the two countries to protect the other six countries.

So what about agree?

Other countries will definitely be dissatisfied with this huge compensation. After all, they did not invade Youliya and did not get a penny of benefits. Now they ask them to send out a large amount of gold coins and other military supplies for free? How is this possible? If Diet really agrees to this request, then the two countries will definitely be criticized by other countries. Whether he agrees or does not agree, the division of the federal government is almost in front of him.

It is impossible to refuse and negotiate. The data presented by Elinoa and Marian are almost impeccable. If he does not have strong evidence to prove that the data of the two people is wrong, then they cannot be refuted at all. In fact, Diet really does not...

"I...I need to think about it. Diet trembled his lips and was able to say only one diplomatic rhetoric in the end.

“You have thirty minutes to think about.”

Lucia gave Dite the last blow, and he stood up angrily.

"Do your country still want to force me to make a decision?!!"

"Please don't forget your identity, Lord Di Te."

Marian hinted.

"We are demanding as victorious countries. This is not an equal negotiation. You should not be unclear about this."

Dit sat down again.

"But, I think you all know. Recently, our federal government has experienced large-scale droughts and locust plagues... The federal government has a little tight funding and materials..."

"It really surprised me, Mr. Diet."

Marien is worthy of being a veteran in political negotiations.

"Is your federal finance deficit every year?"

"this…………"

Dite was speechless for a moment.

Of course this is impossible, he himself knew it. Each of the eight countries of the Federation has a lot of stored military supplies and funds, but the other party naturally knew about such a simple thing. He was about to refute that Marian's next sentence completely defeated him.

"And why we care about the disaster in your Federation, it seems to have nothing to do with us."

The Federation will be buried by a volcano outbreak tomorrow, which has nothing to do with Yuria. It is really stupid to use this reason to swear. Dit fell into deep thought again. Indeed, the Federation could still take out these materials. But the problem is, after removing these, what are the requirements in the later stage? Seventy percent of the taxes... This may make the eight countries of the Federation dissatisfied. After all, the majority of the magic merchants in the continent, and so many were reduced at once... But, but... this...

Nothing is more difficult than negotiating and negotiating in place of a defeated country.

"So, I want to ask the president of the council before giving a reply. Is it OK?"

“You mean, you can’t make a decision on behalf of the federal government?”

Alinoa frowned.

"So, what qualifications do you have to come here to ask us for negotiations?"

"No, of course, I am certainly qualified to represent the Federation, I just want to be cautious..."

Dite was so depressed that he wanted to slap himself to death. He thought about it for a long time and finally sighed helplessly.

“On behalf of the Federation, I agree with your country’s request.”

"So. Please sign it on this."

As he said that, Lu Xiya handed over a scroll and carefully read all the contents. It was confirmed that there was no language game or hidden meaning in it. Dite could only sign and stamp the seal. He secretly decided in his heart that only so many could give in! No matter how much he sacrificed, as long as the plain problem could be solved, everything would still have room for transformation. Moreover, in this situation, even if Dite wanted to not sign, it would be impossible.

"So, it's my next."

After noticing that Dite finally signed the letter, Yi Ming spoke slowly, which surprised Dite.

"Do you have any questions? Lord Yiming?"

"I heard from my subordinates that your federation has any objection to the belonging of the plain?"

"It's not that there is any objection. Lord Yiming."

When he reached the center, Dit sat upright and looked at the boy in front of him with vigilance.

"Our Federation has reason to claim that the plain belongs to our land. I think the border area between your country and our Federation should be divided at the junction of the Undead Forest and the Plain. Forest has always been used as the boundary of the Undead Forest, which should be correct. Then I think it is better to maintain the status quo. I don't know what you think?"

"Do I think?"

Yi Ming smiled slightly, with indescribable gentleness. However, his words were completely tough and had no intention of negotiating.

"That piece of land is ours, and no one is allowed to interfere."

"Sir, you... this makes no sense!!"

Dite finally couldn't help it anymore. He stared at Yi Ming angrily. He looked down on himself too much. You know, he represented the entire Federation. Does he still want to create diplomatic issues?!

"Do you want to invade the territory of our Federation? If you do, you will face a war!"

"You said that land belongs to your federation..." Facing the angry Diet, Yiming gracefully picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea as if nothing had happened. "Is there any evidence?"

"certainly."

The Emperor is confident.

"We have historical records to prove this, and we record it…"
