Chapter 1192 New Eight Countries
After listening to Zeng Wangcai's output, Laurent, although he had an active mind, could not keep up with Zeng Wangcai's train of thought.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Zeng, what do you mean by compensation?" Laurent questioned, "You didn't suffer any losses. The war has been going on for so long, and you don't seem to have any losses, right?"
Laurent's words revealed the whole story, proving that they were in cahoots with the British. The British informed the Americans of the situation on the battlefield in real time, and even people of Laurent's level knew about it.
"Who said there is none?" Zeng Wangcai rolled his eyes. "Missiles don't cost money? Warships don't need energy to sail? Soldiers don't get paid? If the British country honestly follows the agreement, everything will be fine, but they won't.
"That's one part. There's also the second part. They occupied Jiangdao for so many years. Was it given to them for free? Did we see the money they had to pay for the lease? It's all money. We have to pay. If we don't have money, we can just mortgage the land."
puff!
Laurent now finally saw Zeng Wangcai's true face, and his heart was in turmoil.
You really dare to think and speak so boldly.
Take land as mortgage?
"Are you threatening the British homeland?" Laurent asked tentatively.
"Jiangdao is also our homeland." Zeng Wangcai retorted bluntly.
Lauren was particularly disgusted when she heard this answer.
There was a point in the plan he was leading that he had never had the chance to talk about, but now Zeng Wangcai mentioned it first.
"What? Don't you understand?" Zeng Wangcai saw Laurent like this and knew that he didn't understand. "You guys are also sailing, you're also consuming energy, do you understand?"
"......" Laurent froze.
If he didn't understand what Zeng Wangcai was saying at this time, his life would have been in vain.
And it was because Laurent understood what Zeng Wangcai was saying that his computer crashed.
Laurent felt at this moment that no one in the world understood Zeng Wangcai. This person was not only mysterious and difficult to deal with, but also damn crazy.
That's the British country, one of the five permanent council villages, and you still want to divide it up?
"Mr. Zeng, this is not within the scope of our discussion!" Laurent smiled awkwardly, "Let's talk about coming back to a truce."
"You understand, right? If you still talk about a ceasefire, then there's nothing to talk about." Zeng Wangcai waved his hand and drank the tea in front of him, "I still say the same thing, compensation. As long as the compensation is paid, the weapons will be put into storage immediately."
What Zeng Wangcai said is really the bottom line.
Although Zeng Wangcai was in charge of the negotiations, it was impossible that there was no instruction from above.
Having twenty aircraft carrier fleets in hand does not mean that we must fight, but we have to fight given the current situation. The waters off Jiangdao have been turbulent for many years, and the impact on Jiangdao is very great.
If the tense situation in Jiangdao waters is not resolved, Jiangdao will have no hope of developing in the future.
This is a secondary level!
The main level is the hostile situation caused by the group of powers led by the United States, and this situation is the most important.
The Americans suffered a great loss because of the Nimitz-class incident. If you don't let them make up for it, will they let you go?
Even if there were no Nimitz-class incidents, and we had grown stronger, they would not stop tripping us up.
Therefore, there is a unanimous consensus in the country that this battle is very important. It can not only train our troops, but also let the world see our current strength and prevent those jumping clowns from doing anything rash.
As for the Americans, if you dare, just give it a try.
So the bottom line is, status!
Having said that, there is no room for improvement in Lawrence’s first plan.
He thought about it, gritted his teeth and came up with a second plan: "Mr. Zeng, after all, Dongda cannot be isolated from the outside. Your representative Li did not attend the subsequent meeting. In that meeting, many countries around the world have expressed their opinions and formed a joint fleet to maintain peace..."
This is not working with a soft approach, so I’m going to use a hard approach.
It wasn't that Li Ye didn't want to attend the meeting eight hours later, but the Americans had no intention of letting Li Ye attend at all.
After Orb's tough negotiations, the list was finalized, but what can we say about this list... On the surface, it looks like it has shrunk significantly compared to before.
Li Ye said that twenty aircraft carrier formations, a heavy armored combined brigade, and a documentary had enormous destructive power.
The usual scene of the Americans raising their arms and attracting a large number of followers is gone, and most of the villages have backed down for various reasons.
In fact, there is not much difference between the international situation and the individual situation. When a person is too good at fighting, there will naturally be fewer people who dare to provoke him.
"Wait a minute, this is what you're going to do, right?" Zeng Wangcai understood and sneered, "If soft tactics don't work, we'll have to use hard tactics. I think our representatives made it very clear at the joint meeting that we are not threatened by any force. The Jiangdao waters will be a war zone. If anyone dares to come to the war zone, we cannot guarantee their safety."
"Mr. Zeng, I think you'd better listen to what I have to say." Lawrence's expression turned cold. "This joint fleet is very different from the previous ones. Although the number of participating countries has decreased, their strength is not comparable to the previous joint fleets. Each country will send out its main fleet."
"Countries? Main fleets?" Zeng Wangcai scratched his head and pulled out a notebook like a magician. "Tell me first, which ones are there?"
You know, Laurent went crazy when he saw Zeng Wangcai's notebook.
The scene where Li Ye took out a notebook to record his enemies at the joint conference has spread and is called the most hardcore scene in the history of the joint conference.
Zeng Wangcai’s actions now are exactly the same as Li Ye’s.
Laurent was angry: "Mr. Zeng, this is meaningless. Records don't mean anything. If you want to remember, remember that we were the first in the combined fleet, the second was the British country, and the third was the Gauls..."
Zeng Wangcai finished recording slowly, counted the number, and then handed the notebook to the three old men, laughing angrily: "What era is it now? You still play this game. Do you really think we are the same as before? Look, there are exactly eight."
I don’t know if it was intentional or a coincidence, but Laurent only reported eight names.
We like the number eight because it sounds like “fa” (prosperity), but when this number is related to the country, it is not pleasing. Not only is it not pleasing, it also makes us dislike and hate it.
The reason is self-evident, and everyone knows it.
The old men looked at the list with serious expressions.
These eight villages are really just as Laurent said, none of them are just for show. Apart from us and Russia, they are the strongest in the world.
As for those families that could only send out a few hundred people to fill the numbers, they are not included.
If these eight villages are really as Laurent said, we really need to think twice before sending out the main fleet.
"Grandpa, what do you think?" Zeng Wangcai asked.
"The arrow has been put on the string and has to be shot!" Liu Yong glared, "Whatever we have to do, we should follow our policy. We are not afraid of him."
To uphold the core, the status must be improved.
As the saying goes, true gold fears no fire. If the Americans really want to go that far, then just do it.
"Laurent, there's no need for us to continue talking!" Zeng Wangcai stood up to see him off. "My conditions have been made clear and will not change. I emphasize again that the waters around Jiangdao are a war zone. You can decide for yourselves as to the rest."
