Warlords: Rise of the System

The crucial negotiation with the bandits went unexpectedly smoothly.

This undoubtedly surprised everyone, but it made sense when you think about it carefully.

It turned out that these bandits came here to ask the National Salvation Army for unconditional surrender!

Faced with such a situation, the National Salvation Army naturally took the absolute initiative.

When the National Salvation Army put forward a series of conditions, Murakami Hiroyuki of the bandit envoy group showed a surprisingly straightforward attitude.

Murakami Hiroyuki agreed to the huge compensation of 100 billion silver dollars demanded by the National Salvation Army without much hesitation.

Perhaps he knew very well that if he rejected this condition, the National Salvation Army would be allowed to launch looting operations against their Haisang Kingdom.

The losses would be far more than just 100 billion silver dollars, and could even be as high as hundreds of billions!

After weighing the pros and cons, Hiroyuki Murakami decisively chose to accept this seemingly huge compensation.

In addition, the National Salvation Army only established four military bases in Haisang State.

The reason for making such an arrangement was mainly due to the fact that Haisang Kingdom and Tianlong Kingdom were geographically close, and there was no need to set up too many military bases to maintain rule.

This will not only save resources and manpower, but also ensure effective control of the area.

Since the bandits have completely given up resistance and chosen to surrender unconditionally.

After careful consideration, Lu Tianhao decided to leave behind some personnel responsible for guarding the military base and important weapons and equipment?

The rest of the troops will follow him on the journey back to the Tianlong Kingdom.

The unconditional surrender of the bandits this time is of extraordinary significance.

Because the entire process was carried out under the witness of a multinational coalition envoy group composed of many countries, it can be said to be a foregone conclusion and there is no dispute at all.

It is particularly worth mentioning that the bandits had to pay up to 100 billion silver dollars as compensation!

This astronomical amount of compensation shocked everyone present.

Especially for the members of the delegation, it triggered a series of complex thoughts and ideas.

You know, the small country of Haisang has to pay such a huge amount of compensation.

Now let’s look back at their multinational coalition of more than thirty member countries.

Each country only had to pay a mere 500 million silver dollars in compensation, and this money was not paid directly as compensation, but in the form of ransom.

After making such a comparison, everyone in the envoy group couldn't help but think to themselves: It seems that such conditions can be barely accepted.

After the bandit troops in Nanjun State surrendered unconditionally to the National Salvation Army and completed the relevant procedures.

They were finally sent back to their country like stray dogs, ending this journey full of shame and failure.

At this time, the envoys of the multinational coalition had already felt the pressure brought by the urgency of time, and anxiety appeared on everyone's face.

They hurriedly gathered together in a tight circle and began an urgent consultation.

The atmosphere at this impromptu meeting was extremely solemn.

Everyone was whispering to each other, discussing the current difficulties they were facing.

Nathan Howell was the first to break the silence. He cleared his throat and spoke in a serious and low voice.

"Everyone, tomorrow is the deadline set for us by the National Salvation Army."

He paused, his eyes swept over the faces of everyone present, and continued.

“As you all know, they demanded a huge ransom of 500 million silver dollars from us.

Regarding this astronomical ransom, what are your views and thoughts on it?"

After saying this, he folded his arms across his chest and waited quietly for others to express their opinions.

One of the messengers spoke with a serious expression.

"Everyone, judging from the current situation, it is impossible for us to fight the National Salvation Army anymore.

The only way out before us now is to pay a ransom to the National Salvation Army to end this brutal battle.

If calculated based on the huge amount of compensation paid by the Haisang Kingdom, which was 100 billion silver dollars.

Then each of our countries only needs to take out 500 million silver dollars to safely bring back all our trapped soldiers.

Not only that, even the weapons and equipment they carried with them could be withdrawn.

In my opinion, this price is still within an acceptable range.

However, I still feel that we might as well engage in further negotiations with the National Salvation Army and do our best to lower the amount of the ransom.

After all, even if it can be reduced by a little bit, it will be good! What do you think? "

At this time, another envoy stood up and said, "In my opinion, there is really no need for us to wait until tomorrow to start negotiations with the National Salvation Army.

If I want to lower the ransom a little, I think I should take the initiative to negotiate with them today.

You know, according to the people of Tianlong Country, the fact that we were able to contact and negotiate with them in advance undoubtedly shows our full respect for the National Salvation Army!

Maybe in this way, Marshal Lu of the National Salvation Army will be in a good mood and will happily agree to reduce part of the ransom?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present nodded in agreement, and they all felt that these words made a lot of sense.

So, everyone immediately sat together and started discussing how much they should ask the National Salvation Army to reduce the ransom amount.

For a moment, various opinions and ideas were intertwined, and the whole scene seemed extremely lively.

Some people advocate reducing the ransom by 30%, believing that this amount can both show sincerity and not make the other party feel that one is too weak.

Others suggested reducing it by only 10% to avoid angering the National Salvation Army and causing the situation to become increasingly out of control.

Other more radical ones simply suggested to cut the price in half, trying to gain the maximum benefit with a tough attitude...

After a heated debate, everyone failed to reach a consensus, but everyone was full of anticipation and anxiety about the upcoming negotiations.

Nathan Howell finally stopped the discussion. He took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"Everyone, I think there is no need for us to argue here any longer.

In my opinion, it would be better to go directly to the National Salvation Army to start negotiations."

He paused and continued to elaborate on his thoughts, "If the National Salvation Army asks us to propose a specific amount of rent reduction, then we might as well boldly propose a higher amount.

In this case, the final decision will be left to the National Salvation Army.

After all, they know the actual situation and the acceptable range best.”

When everyone heard this, they began to whisper to each other.

After a brief discussion, everyone felt that the proposal was quite reasonable.

As a result, the originally heated discussion gradually subsided and this lengthy meeting came to an end quickly.

Immediately afterwards, the members of the delegation led by Nathan Howell stood up without hesitation.

They packed their bags and headed towards the location of the National Salvation Army with firm and hurried steps.

Along the way, they were nervous and expectant, preparing for the upcoming second negotiation...
