Chapter 1371
Cui Wenxiu's meaningful smile made a layer of sweat seep from Saiti's back. So that's it! He always thought that he was at the forefront of everyone, but he didn't expect that the Farave family and the Aifendi family were not slow. Even Duzmi could join the Tangren online. It seems that it was not his family who was good at Tangren. Saiti couldn't help but be glad that when the Tangren came to him, he didn't hesitate much, otherwise he would not be qualified to talk to the person in front of him.
"Lord Saiti, the territory of the empire is too vast. Kerman is insignificant to the empire. However, this is the western border of the empire's control, especially the Baltic Sea, which is also the bridgehead for the empire to radiate its influence to the western continent. The issue of Fahan's ownership still needs to be negotiated with the Hansen Alliance, but it is estimated that there should be an optimistic result, so both of these places will be the windows of the empire on the Baltic Sea. You should know the meaning of this." Cui Wenxiu saw that the other party seemed to have some understanding and continued to mention it.
He pointed at the other party and said: "The Faravi family and the Rafendi family are already willing to cooperate with the Empire. The social security of the two provinces of Kerman and Fahan must be completely restored. There must be no situation of rampant bandits like before. In the future, Kerman and Fahan will be the two windows of the Empire's traveling westward road. The people in this area will benefit a lot, but this requires a strong local government to ensure that you have many opportunities. I hope you must be good at grasping it."
"Mr. Cui, please rest assured that the Zahuding family will always be loyal to the empire. I, Saiti, swear in the name of the True God!" Saiti, with a serious expression, put his hand on his chest. This is the most solemn oath of the Niyes. Violating this oath is equivalent to a betrayal of the true God. It is an unforgivable sin of the Niyes. The Niyes would rather die than violate it.
"Haha, Lord Saiti, I am very optimistic about you. The Zahuding family has a good reputation in the Kerman Province. I hope you can restrain the behavior of family members well, so that you and your family may win more points in the future interest structure." Cui Wenxiu nodded, "Is there such a beach in the coastal areas of Kerman Province? Is there no place where you can build a port and a wharf?"
"Oh, Lord Cui, there are indeed not many addresses suitable for building a good port in the Kermann province. However, the Ochakov Cape, not far from the border of Xize Province, is well located in the south, which is enough to build a port. It is just that there is a sparse population and has never been valued by the locals." Saiti knew that this issue was the core issue today. The other party hurried here and looked around. It was obvious that he attached great importance to this coastal area. However, Saiti naturally did not understand why the other party was so eager to build a port along the Baltic coast. Even if the business roads were needed in the future, it would not have to be so urgent.
"Oh? Ochakov Cape? Near the province of Xize?" Cui Wenxiu's eyes lit up, and then she thought for a long time without saying a word.
"Sir, if Fahan Province really belongs to the empire, then you don't have to worry. The coastline of the Thrace Peninsula at the northern end of the Fahan Province is winding and the terrain on the shore is high. It is the best place to establish a good port. However, it is too close to the border line of the Principal of Hanover. The shortest distance is less than 60 miles, and the farthest distance is only 90 miles away. It is somewhat inappropriate in terms of strategic location. Of course, if it is just a simple commercial port, there may not be much problem." Saiti knows the terrain of the entire West Indian and German coastal area.
"Well, the Empire needs to have a commodity transit port in this sea area, and the Indian and German areas also need it. The specific location selection is probably a question. However, the first issue that needs to be solved is the public security issue. Lord Saiti, the warriors of the Zahuding family need to be in place as soon as possible. I have drawn two thousand-person teams from the Second Rangers to coordinate this cavalry team. I hope your warriors can adapt to the life of a real army as soon as possible. Maybe there will be some hardships at the beginning, but that will be a great exercise for them. You need to explain this to them well." Cui Wenxiu reminded.
"Don't worry, Lord Cui, since Saiyi agreed to the matter, he will never regret it. The warriors of our Zahuding family believe that they will satisfy and feel at ease." Saiyi also made a promise, which also affects the status and interests of the Zahuding family in the entire West Indian and German coastal area in the future. Of course, he cannot pull his back.
Just as Cui Wenxiu was inspecting the coastal area, Pauling also had an arduous negotiation with the Hansen League negotiating envoy at Kerr Manchester City. Both sides did not want to continue the war. This was the basis of the peace talks, but the amount of concessions in interests forced both sides to grit their teeth and argue little by little.
"Mr. Pauling, your suggestion is very innovative. I had discussed with my fellow mission yesterday and believed that your proposal could be used as the basis for our negotiations, and specific issues could be negotiated in detail in the next negotiations. However, we cannot tolerate your request to withdraw from Deshin and Fahan Provinces. Don't you think you are negotiating with us in a condescending manner? I don't know where your confidence comes from. Is it the insignificant battle in the ancient city of Bam that you think you have become the winner?"
The smell of gunpowder in the negotiation hall was very strong, and both sides sat at the same level as their ranks. The long negotiating table became a stage for the two sides to confront each other. Although there were no real swords and guns, the hot atmosphere of the needle-to-headed squatting was no less than on the battlefield.
"Mr. Vladimir, I believe we are both clear about the situation on both sides and there is no need to introduce it. We negotiate with sincerity to avoid greater losses from both sides. This concerns the lives of millions of soldiers on both sides. Using one's will only make things worse, so I'd like to calm down." Pauling did not respond to the other party's provocation. Cold handling is the best way to deal with it at this time.
"Mr. Pauling, I don't need you to remind you of this. Negotiation requires both parties to show sincerity. Is it a sign of sincerity that you open your mouth like a lion?" The middle-aged man with a slightly bald forehead was wearing a beautiful dress, and his embroidered bow tie looked more like an ornament, making people feel a bit feminine.
"The lion opens his mouth? Haha, Mr. Vladimir, do you think we are opening his mouth? I don't know how you can come up with such a view. Can you defend Fahan? You may have something to rely on in the Dexin Province, but after we take down the Blue Fort, is the barrier of the Elboles Mountains useful?" Pauling said in a gentle tone, but every sentence was tough.
He stood up, and the officer sitting next to the bald man's face was flushed and suddenly stood up, "Mr. Paulin, you are so rude. Are you declaring war? If so, then we will accompany you to the end!"
"Mr. Vladimir, your subordinates seem to be a little overwhelmed? Is he declaring war on our Tang Empire?" Bao Lin stared at the other party calmly and asked back.
"Hawking, sit down! Sorry, my subordinates are a little rude. However, Mr. Baolin, your remarks have seriously poisoned the negotiation atmosphere. I think today's negotiations cannot continue. By the way, I would like to advise you that it is meaningless to ask for a lot of prices like this. Dexin and Fahan Province are our line of interests for the alliance. There is no room for retreat. Even if you put it into war, I hope you can think carefully. Today's negotiations will end here. I think it's better to wait for us to calm down." Waving his hand to stop the impulse of his subordinates, the bald man stood up politely and shook hands with the representatives of Tangren one by one, and the group left the negotiation venue.
Paulin looked at the other party leaving the venue with a smile on his face. He did not stop the other party. Peace talks were the common needs of both parties, and unilateral wishful thinking was useless, so he was not worried that the other party would stop the negotiations. This was just a trick made by the other party. He was fierce and weak on the inside. Maybe this word was a bit too much, but Paulin thought it was appropriate.
The Hansen League negotiating mission, who returned to the inn, immediately held a closed-door discussion. Viscount Vladimir, as one of the most senior diplomats in the alliance, has always served as the envoy of the Alliance to the Augsburg Empire. As soon as he returned from the Augsburg Empire, he was commissioned by the Alliance to serve as the negotiating envoy with the Tang people with an important task. The Tang people's aggressive momentum was a little difficult to adapt at the beginning, but he still quickly got into the state and talked about the most core provincial status of the Mana province. However, the remaining issues of ownership of the two provinces Fahan and Dexin became a little tricky. The Hansen League wanted to maintain the status quo, while the Tang people wanted the Hansen League to withdraw from these two provinces and let them take over the rule of these two provinces. This was simply arrogant.
