Siheyuan: Happy life of the son-in-law of a founding general

Afterwards, John Bull negotiated with Daxia on the return of Hong Kong Island. John Bull sent Foreign Minister Termeni, while Daxia sent Wang Zhian again.

The place chosen for the negotiations was still the Kingdom of Thailand. This was also where Daxia and the Eagle Sauce had negotiated before.

The core of the negotiations is how Xiangdao can return to Daxia.

Wang Zhian said to Temeni, "Daxia demands that John Bull unconditionally return Xiangdao and compensate Daxia with 3 billion Daxia coins for materials."

When Temeni heard this, he couldn't help but get angry. Wang Zhian was really going too far.

As a result, the atmosphere in the negotiation room suddenly became tense.

Sparks flew as soon as the negotiations started.

The sunlight outside the window seemed unable to penetrate the invisible barrier, leaving only mottled shadows on the window lattice. On both sides of the round conference table sat Wang Zhian from Daxia and John Bull's Foreign Minister Temeni, like a bullfight.

This time, the Daxia negotiation delegation is basically the same as before.

It seems that Wang Zhian returned to Daxia, only went back to have a meal, and then went back to his business trip.

Of course, I will definitely report to Mr. Gao, Mr. Meng and others, and receive congratulations and encouragement from many gentlemen.

Mr. Gao now trusts Wang Zhian very much and says that he can take full responsibility during the next negotiation.

Wang Zhian has gained wide recognition through his many perfect performances.

Wang Zhian looked at the unconvinced Temeni and began to explain: "Daxia's demands are very clear, unconditionally return Hong Kong Island. There is no room for negotiation. And based on the damage John Bull has caused to our Daxia, he demands compensation of 3 billion Daxia currency. This is actually for the sake of Eagle Sauce. Otherwise, 3 billion would definitely not be enough, at least 50 billion."

A trace of unconcealable displeasure and anger flashed across Temeni's face. He adjusted his sitting posture and tried to respond in a more formal tone to hide his inner helplessness.

"Mr. Wang, your proposal is too harsh. Under our management, Hong Kong Island has made great progress in both economy and culture. These contributions cannot be ignored. We suggest resolving the dispute in a more peaceful way that is acceptable to both parties, such as joint governance or long-term lease."

Wang Zhian glared at the other party with an unquestionable determination: "Joint governance or long-term lease? I think Minister Temeni may have misunderstood Daxia's determination. This is impossible, absolutely impossible."

"Hong Kong has been an inseparable part of our country since ancient times. This is clearly recorded in historical documents and international law. As for development, it is the result of the efforts of the Chinese people themselves, not an achievement that can be touted by any external force. We are willing to resolve the issue peacefully, but this does not mean that we will give up our principles."

"If you keep on whining, I can understand that you, John Bull, have no sincerity in negotiation. We will use other means to resolve the Hong Kong Island issue and your John Bull."

Termeni was shaking with anger, "Are you threatening us John Bull?"

Wang Zhian looked at Temeni and said, "I am just threatening you, what do you want?"

At this point, Wang Zhian said, "I really hope that you, John Bull, will refuse the peace talks. After all, the damage you, John Bull, have brought to Daxia is too numerous to mention. I really want to lead the team myself and flatten your John Bull country!!!!"

Wang Zhian's words were like a sharp sword, cutting off Temeni's last bit of hope.

The air froze, leaving only the tremor in his voice. Wang Zhian's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, shooting straight at Temeni through the lenses of his glasses. It was a kind of calmness after going through storms and a majesty that could not be challenged.

And a clear belligerent mood.

Temeni's face changed alternately between anger and unwillingness, and his hands clenched into fists, as if he wanted to regain a bit of dignity through this silent confrontation.

The atmosphere in the conference room was extremely tense. Everyone could feel the almost tangible pressure. Even the sunlight outside the window seemed to be dimmed by the heavy atmosphere.

In fact, whether to fight or talk may just depend on Temeni's decision.

If a real fight breaks out, many people will die.

“Mr. Wang, we must emphasize that John Bull, as a country with a long history, has made great contributions to the development of the world.”

Temeni tried to calm down and retorted in a calm but unyielding tone, "Regarding the issue of Xiangdao, the development of Xiangjiang is indeed better than that of other places in Daxia. We believe that friendly negotiations should be conducted based on historical facts and the interests of both sides."

"Friendly negotiation?" Wang Zhian sneered, his laughter full of sarcasm towards the other party's words, "If friendly negotiation means ignoring history and forcibly occupying the territory of Daxia, then I tell you, the people of Daxia will never accept it. History has proven countless times that any attempt to strengthen our country will end in failure."

"I'll give you three minutes to think about it. Answer immediately: Do you agree to withdraw from Hong Kong Island unconditionally, or do we go to war directly?"

This was said very decisively.

All the negotiators from Daxia couldn't help but feel their blood boiling and their eyes welling with tears.

Thinking of what Wang Zhian said before, "Hong Kong is not only a point on our geographical map, but also an inseparable part of our national sentiment and historical culture. Every inch of land and every piece of sea carries the sweat and sacrifice of countless ancestors. So we must recover it quickly."

At this moment, the conference room was silent, and everyone was holding their breath waiting for Temeni's response.

Temeni only felt his heart palpitating and felt like he would die at any time.

The pressure is just too great.

Damn, just give me three minutes. Wang Zhian is really a lunatic. How can diplomatic negotiations be conducted like this?

But there is no way, I am so unlucky to meet this madman.

So he took a deep breath, his eyes wavering between hesitation and determination, and finally he nodded slowly, even though this action contained too much reluctance and helplessness.

"I understand, Mr. Wang. We are willing to find a solution acceptable to both parties on the basis of respecting each other's positions. We can withdraw, but we hope to ensure that Hong Kong continues to prosper and develop."

Temeni's voice was tired, but there was also a hint of firmness that was barely perceptible. This might be his last bit of persistence and dignity as a diplomat.

After hearing this, Wang Zhian curled up his lips into a barely perceptible smile. He knew that this would be the result.

After all, Daxia’s military strength is now stronger than John Bull’s.

"Very good, then let us use our utmost sincerity to help Hong Kong Island develop better."

As Temeni admitted his mistake, the depressing atmosphere in the meeting room finally eased.

This is good.

The next day, Daxia and John Bull issued a joint communiqué, stating that Daxia would peacefully regain sovereignty over Hong Kong Island.

At this time, Pupuya became anxious and jumped out quickly.

And I.
