Chapter 159: Fearless Turkey, Mawi's Counterattack

After a brief greeting in the corridor, everyone came to Aermaid's office and prepared to officially start negotiations about the Ukrainian hauling the Varyag aircraft carrier and passing through the Bosphorus Strait, Turkey.

The Bosphorus Strait is the throat of the Black Sea. If all ships in the Black Sea want to go out, they must pass through this section of the strait. The geographical location is very tricky, so the Varyag aircraft carrier has no way to go around.

The diplomat Viecheslav, as soon as he took the seat, couldn't wait to negotiate with the other party, "Hello, Prime Minister Aermaid, I think you know too. The purpose of our visit this time is about..."

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted impolitely by Prime Minister Aermad, "Mr. Viescheslav, I think our Turkish Government has made it very clear. Whether it can be done or not is the matter between you and it has nothing to do with me, Turkey."

Aermaid had a very fearless attitude. Cooperating with the expression on his face, Ma Wei deeply felt the annoyingness of the other party.

But unfortunately, this is a diplomatic occasion between countries. Mawei is just a participant who is similar to an auditor. He is not a diplomat or a political official, and he cannot speak on behalf of the country. He still has this distinction between the primary and secondary, and he will not speak nonsense.

Seeing that the other party was stubborn, diplomat Vieslav also had a tough attitude and said tit-for-tat, "But, Prime Minister Ailmede, don't you think these requirements of your government are too harsh and too excessive?"

"The guarantee amount of $1 billion a day, plus so many suspension restrictions, no country in the world has you put forward so many demands like this."

Before coming, Vieslav received some information from the Russian government. That is, if the other party is willing to reason, then everyone should reason well. But if the other party is unwilling to reason, then the attitude can be tougher and put pressure on Turkey.

"Mr. Viescheslav, our Turkish government did not deliberately make things difficult for you Russia and Ukraine. It was just that in the Montreux Convention, we clearly mentioned that if the warships of non-coastal countries have a tonnage of more than 1.5 tons and want to pass through the Bosphorus, we must obtain our consent..."

Aermaid said with an unhappy expression. Turkey actually had such a convention with the countries along the Black Sea coast, which was the Montreux Convention set out in 1936...

A brief description is that during peacetime, warships from non-coastal countries will be subject to certain restrictions when passing through the Turkish Strait. That is, the total tonnage of warships passing through the same period shall not exceed 15,000 tons, the total tonnage of ships staying in the Black Sea shall not exceed 30,000 tons, and the residence time shall not exceed 21 days; (The countries along the Black Sea coast shall not be subject to any restrictions)

The Wagliang aircraft carrier has a displacement of 67,000 tons, seriously exceeding the 30,000 tons of the Montreux Convention. In addition, this is the ship for sale, which is no longer owned by Ukraine.

Therefore, Türkiye is trying to seize this point and forcibly prevent it from passing through. It has the attitude of being unreasonable and unforgiving.

Sometimes, the friction between countries is like an ordinary person quarrels, which makes people speechless. It is obvious that it can be convenient for the Varyag aircraft carrier to pass through. But they have to deliberately find fault, holding a bunch of historical documents and holding the small braids of Russia and Ukraine...

Diplomat Vieslav and Vice Prime Minister Sneranna lost all their words after hearing the other party’s move out of the “Montreux Convention”. This treaty was decided more than 60 years ago. Now it is 2001, which is a bit too far-fetched.

"Prime Minister Aermaid, do you Turkish government have to restrict us with the treaty from 65 years ago?" Vieslav asked Aermaid in a slightly cold voice.

The two brothers Ukraine and Russia have both had such difficulties in their economy and finally received orders worth billions of dollars. Before they could even be happy, they were deliberately provoked by those who sold ice cream in Turkey. Anyone would be very upset.

"Mr. Viescheslav, we Turkey are not targeting you! It is this Varyag aircraft carrier, not a ship from the Black Sea coast countries, and the displacement is far more than three tons. We all said clearly in the Montreux Convention at the time! Your country has signed it!" Prime Minister Aermaid said, believing in his opinion.

Anyway, Turkey is just trying to keep this aside. I believe that with their current performance, they are all seen by the EU and other countries. Maybe Türkiye will join the EU and hold on to the top because of its good performance.

So he was very confident when he talked to the two brothers of Russia and Ukraine. Who told him that this time really made sense?

When Viecheslav heard the other party move out again, the damn "Montreux Convention" was almost annoyed. But there was no good way to fight back.

After all, Russia cannot rashly tear the convention and destroy the agreement. Otherwise, this mistake would be a big deal and would easily be caught by the EU. It can only bypass the pressure of the convention...

When Aermaid saw the Russian diplomat, he lost all his words. So he looked more and more proud, lowered his head and drank a sip of tea. Obviously, he thought he had the truth, so he was sure to win.

But, just as he was halfway through the tea, he saw Mavie, who had been sitting aside and had not spoken, suddenly said lightly, "According to the Montreux Convention, then if we Russia, or Ukraine, buy the Varyag aircraft carrier again, then your Turkish government will have no reason to stop it, right?"

As soon as Mavina's voice fell, Ayermaid, who had been drinking tea halfway, suddenly coughed suddenly! He almost couldn't breathe a sigh of relief!

Sitting beside Mavie, Vice Premier Snerana and Viecheslav diplomat suddenly turned to look at Mavie. From the eyes of the two, it can be seen that they were obviously amazed by Mavie's words just now!

"Hey? Yes! Why didn't I expect such a simple thing? If I buy the aircraft carrier back, it would be a damn Montreux Treaty, which would be resolved?" Diplomat Vieslav almost excitedly wanted to slap himself in the thigh.

No wonder the superiors wanted Ma Wei, a non-government official, to come over. It turned out that this made sense!
