While waiting for the decision, Lorraine and his party gathered in the back garden of the administrative hall.

The garden has no scenery to speak of. After all, Shek, who was hanged by Lorraine, is just a mountain king in a poor place, with neither much wealth nor much taste.

But today's weather is good, the humid sea breeze blows the streets, and the bright sunshine makes people feel cheerful.

Aziz walked over to Lorraine, shaking his glass.

Beautiful words, my great Mr. Chairman, as a Muscat native, I was almost moved to tears just now.

Don't be cynical, Aziz. Lorraine gave him an annoyed look, Or what do you want me to say? Those who follow will prosper, and those who go against will perish?

I thought I was going to see a performance that was pretentious and condescending. Aziz choked half to death, I never expected that you would actually dress yourself up as a bystander.

Not a bystander, but an announcer. Lorraine corrected, I opened the curtain and let it go. I can share the blame with the two dead sultans for the tragedy at the port, but the rest happened in Maas Carter's live drama really has nothing to do with me.

How should I put it... If I control the matter, the development may be more ingenious, and the movement will be smaller.

Aziz was deeply impressed by the last sentence.

He raised his glass to Lorraine: Major General Hasadi I know is a smart man, but he has his own problems, or the problems of the Hasadi family. They are used to being suspects and villains. You give him this time His positioning clearly leaves him with nowhere to go.

That's his problem.

Lorraine glanced at Roy from the corner of his eyes, who was staring at a clump of desert roses in a daze.

A qualified leader is not afraid of being a bad person, but when he can be a good person, few people will choose to stand on the side of the villain.

I believe he will figure it out. Aziz said with a smile, If he can't figure it out, Al Batinah will soon be replaced by a new owner, and the political-religious dispute between Muscat and Riaman will reappear in the world. It was all his fault...

...

Three hours later, the group returned to the meeting room.

There are many new faces in the spacious main hall,

Eddie told Lorraine in a low voice that they were all officers and school prisoners of the Navy Department, six school officers and two generals.

Eddie also said that there were four generals in the prisoner-of-war camp, so it can be seen that this call for intelligence was separated by the old Manzeli from the very beginning.

Everyone returned to their seats and sat down one by one. Lorraine still crossed his legs and crossed his fingers.

Okay, Your Highness, I want to hear your answer.

As soon as these words came out, the audience was filled with awe.

Lorraine's gimmick completely exceeded the expectations of the Omanis, but no one, including Manziri, took this tricky question as part of the trick.

They are wrong.

A group of political animals racked their brains to guess the cards and the bottom line of the British, only to find that they had neglected the most important issue at the end of the matter.

From the beginning to the end, no one cared about the opinions of the prince and princess...

The little prince seemed frightened by the sudden silence. He shrank behind Princess Amina like a bunny, lowered his head and grabbed the corner of Princess Amina's skirt, without saying a word.

Lorraine waited quietly.

After waiting for about two or three minutes, the anxious Talar strode out, just about to speak...

If anyone speaks before the prince, whether it's talking or coughing, Barto, kill him.

Barto immediately took out the two guns that he never left his body and shot them in front of him, and replied in a deep voice, Yes! Captain!

Silence continued.

Talal, who opened his mouth, maintained a ridiculous posture and did not dare to move. Although Lorraine only restricted them from speaking, he really couldn't guarantee that his retreating movement would be forcibly interpreted into a certain language.

He could only hope that Manzeri would come forward to save him as he had just done.

But this time he was doomed to be disappointed.

Manzeri easily discerned the seriousness in Lorraine's eyes that could not be discussed. It seemed that in Lorraine's view, the heart of a six-year-old child was more important than the end-game gains of the entire aggression.

See through, but not see through.

Manzeli closed his eyes.

He closed his eyes, and the generals present no longer had any doubts about the opinion of the marshal, and everyone kept their mouths tightly shut, allowing it to ferment silently.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

Cold sweat had already covered Talar's gray and old face. He felt that he could not hold on any longer. He looked around for help, and finally found the little prince.

tick tock... tick tock...

Lorraine stood up in disappointment, turned around, and a timid child's voice suddenly caught up from behind.

Sir, can you forgive Grandpa?

Only then did Lorraine laugh, and tilted his head with a smile: If you speak, your grandfather will be rescued. This is your right, and no one needs to agree.

The little prince obviously half understood: Power?

Yes, power.

Lorraine beckoned, and the little prince stepped up boldly, staring straight into Lorraine's eyes with his clear eyes, posing with the solemnity unique to children.

Then sir, can I order you to leave my country?

Not yet. Lorraine replied seriously, Because I'm stronger than you.

The little prince frowned: But grandpa is also stronger than me.

No, he's much weaker than you. Lorraine squatted down and let the little prince face the Omans. Look at these people, including your mother, they are not as strong as you.

Cooperation is confirmed.

The conversation between Lorraine and the little prince was like a special ceremony, which easily determined the primary and secondary relationship between the two parties in the cooperation.

Next comes obligations and rights, giving and rewards. That is the battlefield of politicians. Of course, the young little prince will no longer participate. Even Lorraine has changed representatives, with Carmen as the main one, Eddie and Roy as assistants. .

Negotiations open.

In the first round of negotiations, the two sides decided that Milani Castle would become the base camp of the little prince, and a regiment of defense forces firmly supported the little prince as the new sultan. Muscat politics make any demands.

In the second round of negotiations, the two sides determined that the little prince should be renamed Said bin Sultan to show his right to rule the Omanis. Lorraine needs to persuade the European forces to recognize and support the new sultan's legal rule over the Omani kingdom, and the new government will pay in return. Specific matters will be negotiated with the European forces separately after the new sultan enters the palace.

In the third round of negotiations, the Drake Chamber of Commerce promised to release all prisoners of war belonging to the naval system during the war. The new government respected British laws. Except for a few nobles and military officers who paid atonement for their crimes, those who broke the law in the prisoner-of-war camps would be transferred to labor camps, and their release time would be postponed until the end of their sentences.

The fourth round of negotiations, February 4th...

Carmen leaned gracefully on the soft couch wrapped in silk, picked up a grape and put it in her mouth, neither eating nor sucking, just sliding it on her lips.

The corners of Manzeri's eyebrows twitched violently following the grape.

After several days of negotiations that were no less than a battle to the death, he had already thoroughly familiarized himself with his opponent.

Carmen Xavier, a Spanish woman so beautiful that she is almost coquettish, is a fierce warrior at heart. She is best at pincer attack, and likes to weave countless idle and messy topics into spider webs, making it impossible to attack and defenseless.

Playing with grapes is her loud and clear battle cry. Yesterday, she played with grapes like this and forcibly took away 972 loyal, brave, and criminal marines from Manzeli's palm!

Manzeli suddenly sat up, sitting upright, without squinting. The members of the negotiating team of the new government behind him were also on the verge of a formidable enemy. What was ridiculous was that even Eddie and Roy also showed a look of silence.

Carmen is a believer in outcomeism. As long as she can achieve her goal, selling teammates is easier for her than eating and drinking...

Oh, man...

Everyone knows that the Queen has arrived.

Carmen lazily tossed the grapes back into the saucer for a different one, and held them between her slender fingers, as if admiring a beautiful gem.

Before the negotiations start today, let me first inform you of the good news I just received this morning.

The new government's charitable actions have already had an impact in the civilized world. Just two hours ago, the Dutch fleet held a flag-raising ceremony in the sea off Jalali Castle.

It was a volunteer team composed purely of militia, including two Brig ships, one Brigantine, fully equipped with 420 sailors, and carried 400 marines and 6 marine guns.

Their commander, Mr. Melidori, Todrek Chamber of Commerce, conveys his concern and greetings to all of you who uphold justice and care about civilians.

He said that in return for a kilometer of natural berth and 20,000 acres of fertile land on Masirah Island, the Dutch would sing war songs on the battlefield of Muscat and die without hesitation.

For the sake of the coastline and the land? Looking at Carmen's beautiful eyes bent into crescents, Manziri's veins almost burst on the spot, Please tell the friendly Dutch friends, Manager Xavier, that the Sultanate cannot afford to hire them. Such a heroic European friend!

That can't be done... Carmen dragged his voice, Mr. Melidori is my old friend. He is a bit stupid and cowardly. Even if his good intentions are trampled, he can only leave cursing.

But please know, Your Excellency, Marshal, the Dutch are the beginning of the whole European charity. Mr. Melidori shoulders heavy responsibilities, one of which is to build barracks for the entire coalition army.

Drake has no obligation to offend four powerful countries at the same time for your government, and there is especially no reason to turn your back on Great Britain, the mother country of the Chamber of Commerce.

Those who have attained the Tao will help a lot, Your Excellency Marshal, I think you should be happy for the arrival of the coalition forces. After all...they may have tens of thousands of people.

Manzeli's expression changed drastically.

He remembered that during the negotiations the day before yesterday, Carmen insisted on using vague words such as European forces in the memorandum.

Her explanation at the time was that Drake's General Asset Management Company and the African Branch are two financially independent companies with different needs, and negotiations cannot be generalized. Looking at it now, that was simply a wedge for the four European countries to legally intervene in the war of aggression!

Carmen Xavier, you are despicable! Manzeli said every sound with trembling throat, gnashing his teeth.

Carmen looked at him innocently.

Today's negotiation hasn't started yet, Your Excellency the Marshal. Not to mention two crocodile tears, how can you be so wise and unprepared?

I... Manzeli took three deep breaths, What's today's topic, Manager Xavier? I promise, I'll see it word by word this time...

Oh, man.
