Section 119 Asking Price

The words of Western Union immediately caused a stir in the parliament hall. The members of the parliamentary party who were originally prepared for Xijiang would definitely ask for a certain price to compensate were shocked by the other party's high asking price.

Has the alliance broken up with Machikhan? Although the relationship between the alliance and Machikhan has been unhappy with several recent events, the mutual assistance and friendship agreement that has been established for decades between the two countries is definitely not affected by these small things. It is the cornerstone of the diplomatic relations between the two countries and the foundation of the diplomatic relations between the South China Sea Alliance. Without Machikhan's political and military support, the security of the South China Sea Alliance will be seriously threatened, especially now the threat from Western Xinjiang. This is the relatively unified view of the alliance. Even if the southern coastal countries and city-states recognize this, let alone countries and city-states that have closer political and economic ties with Machikhan. On this point, the alliance countries and city-states have a clear attitude, that is, they must not agree.

It should be said that the requirements of the Sanbao City-State for the Sanyang Alliance are as expected by the Nanyang Alliance. Although the Sanbao City-State has nominally joined the Nanyang Alliance, in fact, since joining the alliance requires a series of specific political and economic treaties, many specific issues need to be resolved through consultation, such as the restrictions of tariffs/military/parliamentary election methods and other factors, the Sanbao City-State cannot truly integrate into the Nanyang Alliance in such a short time. For example, today's parliamentary discussion, the Sanbao City-State is not consistent with the Nanyang Alliance's election methods, so

Therefore, we cannot enter the parliament to speak and listen. The Sanbao City State has always been a heart-wrenching problem in the Western Xinjiang in the last Peninsula War. The members of the Nanyang Alliance are very clear about this. After all, they are just preparing to sacrifice the Sanbao City State to calm down the storm caused by this rash dispatch. After all, the Sanbao City State has not yet established a close connection with the alliance, and the nominal joining does not represent anything. The Maqi Khans are not really ready to join forces with the Nanyang Alliance to fight the invasion of the Western Xinjiang. Most of the members of the parliament tend to exchange the sovereignty of the Sanbao City State for peace.

However, the demand for the Maven Islands was completely beyond the expectations of the countries of the South China League. No one expected that the people of the Western Xinjiang would make sovereign claims against the Maven Islands as compensation, especially for the coastal countries and city-states, this was simply a naked blackmail, which was shameless.

The Maven Islands are located in the South Ocean, distributed in a strip shape, ranging from thirty nautical miles to 30 nautical miles from the mainland. They are an archipelago composed of hundreds of islands of different sizes. Minnesota in the east is only 120 nautical miles from the capital of the Principal of Andako, and Majori Island in the west is only 180 nautical miles from the Sanbao City-state, the easternmost end of the Peninsula League. Among these hundreds of islands are both important continental islands with large areas, volcanic islands with fertile soil and developed fisheries, and beautiful coral reefs. Many islands have not even been developed and are in a natural and pristine state. They are also an excellent place for wealthy people in the alliance to take a vacation and relax.

Most of the people living on the islands of the archipelago are completely different from those of mainland residents. They belong to the Tu people of brown race. These people have brown eyes, black hair, strong figure, enthusiastic and generous personality, and can sing and dance. They have become the best hunting targets for slave traders from all over the East. Many slave traders colluded with some local officials and allowed slave ships to secretly capture indigenous residents, and sold them to the north, the mainland and even the Central and Western continents, making great profits. The alliance navy also often cracked down on these slave traders. However, due to the wide area of ​​the sea and the strong background forces behind these slave traders, they are in harmony with the local officials, this trend is even becoming more and more intense.

Due to its unique geographical location, the Maven Islands has always been an important fishery production area and tourist destination for the Alliance. At the same time, the Alliance Navy has also built a military port on the second largest island of St. Connis, which is an important base for the Alliance Navy. Now the people in Western Xinjiang have opened their mouths to demand compensation for the Maven Islands. How can this not make the Alliance, especially the coastal countries and city-states, be angry, because these islands belong to the coastal countries and city-states respectively.

A stone stirred up a thousand straits, and the entire parliament hall became lively as if it was a boil. The members of the parliament whispered to discuss whether these harsh conditions proposed by the people of Western Xinjiang were intended to provoke a full-scale war. Both the countries in the north, the city-states in the central region, and the parties along the southern coast all responded strongly to the three conditions introduced by Western Union.

The northern countries are most sensitive to the severance of the Maqikhan. In their opinion, if the alliance with Maqikhan is cut off, the people of the Western Xinjiang can do whatever they want. With the current military strength of the alliance, they cannot fight against the giant Western Xinjiang alone. Without the help of the Maqikhan, the alliance will have to wait for death. The members of the southern coastal countries and city-states strongly protested against the demand for the cedes of the Maqikhan Islands, believing that this was the intentional blackmail of the Western Xinjiang under the storm. The Maqikhan Islands were related to the lifeline of the maritime trade transportation of the Alliance. This was the foundation for the survival of the Alliance countries. They would rather fight than retreat. Only the central cities had a little more relaxed attitude, but they also expressed that they could not accept the robbery behavior of the Western Xinjiang people.

"Everyone, please be quiet. The Western Colonial Parliamentarians have only conveyed the conditions proposed by the Western Xinjiang side. This is not the final result of the negotiation. The negotiation requires both sides to compromise. If the Western Xinjiang side forcibly asks us to agree with the conditions that we cannot accept, then we can naturally choose to fight! So we can now fully express our opinions and talk about our views on the other side's conditions, which we can accept, which we absolutely cannot accept, and which we can sit down and negotiate and resolve. Please make a decision, and finally ask countries and city-states to send a representative of parliamentarians to speak. If necessary, we can also invite representatives of the Western Xinjiang people to speak at the meeting and explain their views and views." Cort gently tapped the gong on the table in front of the Speaker's seat, indicating that everyone could discuss and negotiate.

Wang Liao sat quietly in the lounge opposite the parliamentary palace. The members of the Nanyang League were discussing the negotiation plan they proposed to them in the hall opposite. To be honest, Xijiang also thanked the Nanyang League for this time of cooperation with the Maqikhans for sending troops. If it were not for the stupidity and impulse of these guys, how could they have their own trip to Siam Yue? How could Xijiang have an excuse to blackmail the other party? He was in a happy mood and liked this kind of mission. As a diplomatic envoy, he could stand in front of the other party as a strong person and threaten them to take what he wanted from the other party step by step. This kind of pleasure is not something that ordinary people can experience.

The few people on the opposite side were probably members of the Sanbao City State. The anxious look was indescribable to Wang Liao's eyes. He placed his destiny on other people's decisions. I wonder if that time when people were the slaughter and I waited for the decision of fate.

The sovereignty of Sanbao City is the bottom line for the task given to him by His Highness the King of Qin. He requires himself to do everything he can to complete this task. The cedescending the Maven Islands is just a wishful thinking and demand of the Navy. As for the Nanyang Alliance's severing the covenant with the Maqi Khans, it is purely a strategy for him to ask for a price. Wang Liao believes that after his own efforts and the careful consideration of these members of the Nanyang Alliance, there should be no obstacles in the return of the Sanbao City-state, but the Maven Islands is not very realistic. After all, the geographical location there is too important and is related to the economic and trade lifeline of the entire Nanyang Alliance. However, Wang Liao is still ready to make some efforts through his own skills and eloquence. Even if it is not successful, it must make the Nanyang Alliance realize that it is a price to make a rash decision.

"Mr. Wang, Speaker Corte invites you in." The gentle voice of the beautiful female secretary of the Nanyang League Parliament interrupted Wang Liao's contemplation. It seemed that it was time for him to perform. Wang Liao stood up and sorted out his clothes, then adjusted his emotions, and stepped into the magnificent parliament hall with light steps.

"Everyone, although I like the style of the Nanyang Alliance very much, I have to come to the Nanyang Alliance with a sense of regret and come to the Siam Air Country. The Nanyang Alliance and our Tanghe Empire have always had a good relationship, and the political and economic relations between the two sides have developed smoothly. Although we also had some misunderstandings in the early Peninsula War because of different political views, we all saw that through peaceful negotiations, we resolved the differences between the two sides, and handled reasonably and fairly, and the two sides also signed a peace agreement. In theory, this matter has been resolved successfully, and both sides should focus on developing bilateral relations and promoting friendly exchanges between the two sides and

The further close economic and trade, but it is puzzling and infuriating that when the Alliance was in a critical state of war with the Kamans in the north, the South Ocean Alliance, colluded with the Maqi Khans to suddenly send troops to our territory of the Great Protectorate in the Western Front, and tore up the original agreement and made a series of unreasonable demands. It is not impossible if the Alliance made a proposal to renegotiate in normal times, but this was exactly the critical time when we were in a decisive battle with the Kamans, and they colluded with the Maqi Khans to threaten with force, which was simply incredible and incomprehensible!”

Wang Liao opened the prelude to his speech with a series of ups and downs. Although the Nanyang Alliance is complex in races and many countries, it is popular in Tang language, so there are no obstacles in communication.
