I am the emperor in Nanyang, I am the ultimate winner
Chapter 62: The War of Expansion Begins (6)
The representative of Geely State had a gloomy face and emphasized again: "Now is not the time to joke around, if you can't show sincerity to solve the problem."
"Then we can only take tougher measures."
However, Foreign Minister Wu Qingyuan was not intimidated. He responded firmly: "You don't have to scare me. Although your Jili navy is indeed very powerful, our Yan country is not easy to mess with."
"If a war really breaks out, we will make your navy pay a heavy price. By then, it will be hard to say whether you can still maintain your position as the world's number one navy."
"What's more, even if you defeat our navy, we still have a powerful air force and army. If you have the guts, just try landing and fighting!"
At this point, Foreign Minister Wu Qingyuan paused, then continued: "As for what conditions we can offer, first of all, this island is our Yan country's territory, and we will never give it up easily."
“Secondly, we will not make any compensation to the Windmill States, but we are willing to reduce the revenue from the passage of the Strait of Malacca to three percent.”
"This is already our biggest concession. If you are not satisfied, you can start a war at any time."
You must know that the Strait of Malacca controls the sea transportation line between the East and the West. Countless ships travel back and forth every year, and the tolls alone can make a lot of money. Yan Country controls 5% of it, and the rest belongs to Geely Country.
If Yan State gives up 2%, then Jili State will control 97% of the income in the Strait of Malacca.
The representative of Geely was very dissatisfied with the result: "How much is this?"
"That's not enough! And the Windmill Nation won't agree to it. We must return the island to them."
"As for the compensation to the Windmill Country, forget it, but all the income from the Strait of Malacca must be handed over to our Jili Country."
Foreign Minister Wu Qingyuan responded: "You, the Kingdom of Jili, have a really big appetite! Not only do you want us to return the islands, you even want to take the entire revenue of the Strait of Malacca for yourself. This is simply unrealistic."
The Foreign Minister of Geely responded forcefully: "Does that mean we can't reach an agreement?"
Foreign Minister Wu Qingyuan replied solemnly: "I solemnly declare once again that we will never return this island. This is a matter of our country's territorial sovereignty, and no infringement will be tolerated."
The Foreign Minister of Jili threatened: "You must return it, otherwise our fleet will attack directly and you will bear the consequences."
Foreign Minister Wu Qingyuan responded without showing any weakness: "Let's fight, who's afraid of who? At worst, we will die together, but we will never back down."
Just when the two sides were on the verge of a fight, the representative of the United States came out again to mediate: "Please be patient, I hope you can talk calmly."
"War will only bring disaster to the people of both countries. Let us work together to find a peaceful solution."
At this time, the representative of the Northern Bear Country stood up and said in a serious tone: "The two countries should exercise restraint to avoid further expansion of the scale of the war."
"War will only bring more destruction and casualties to both sides, and have a serious impact on regional peace and stability."
"We hope that the two countries can resolve disputes through peaceful negotiations and jointly safeguard world peace and development."
Foreign Minister Wu Qingyuan responded firmly: "This island is our Yan country's territory, we will never return it."
"Besides, this place does not belong to the territory of Windmill Country."
“However, we are willing to make certain concessions and hand over all revenue rights in the Strait of Malacca to the Kingdom of Gili.”
"This is our bottom line. If the other side insists on provoking a war, we will fight back without hesitation."
The representatives of Jili State fell into deep thought; in their hearts, they did not want to go to war with Yan State easily.
After all, once the naval fleet suffers severe damage, Geely may lose its status as the world's leader.
If the country can obtain all the income rights from the Strait of Malacca, it will undoubtedly be a huge fortune for the country of Geely.
After weighing the pros and cons, the representatives of Jili decided to accept Yan's proposal.
"Well, we in Geely agree to this condition." The representative of Geely finally expressed his opinion.
After all, the Kingdom of Geely now has a powerful enemy, that is Prussia. Although its naval strength is not very good, its army and air force are now world-class, which is also one of the issues they are worried about.
If a conflict occurs between Jili and Yan, Pru is likely to take advantage of the situation and pose a greater threat to Jili.
At this time, the representatives of the Windmill Country objected: "We will not agree to this condition. In the end, we get nothing."
"And you, the Jili Nation, you accepted our benefits, but in the end, it was just for your own benefit?"
The representative of the Geely country retorted: "Don't talk nonsense. Who received your benefits?"
"We came here to negotiate only for world peace and to avoid expanding the scale of the war. Do you, the Windmill Country, have any objections?"
The quarrel between the two sides became more and more intense and the atmosphere became tense.
Representatives from other countries began to discuss the matter, and some supported Geely's view that world peace should be maintained.
The Windmill Kingdom once had a great reputation as the "Coachman of the Sea", but now it has fallen into decline and is completely different from its past.
The representative of Windmill Country left the meeting room reluctantly, his heart filled with resentment and dissatisfaction.
The dispute finally ended with the Kingdom of Geely getting the result they expected.
As for Yan State, it will naturally not give up the benefits of the Malacca Strait easily.
However, it will take some time to plan so that the entire Strait of Malacca can be controlled in one fell swoop.
After all, a mere 5% of the revenue is really insignificant for the Yan State today. It is neither worth the effort nor worth giving up easily.
Instead of coming into conflict with the Kingdom of Geely now, it would be better to temporarily hand over all the income from the Strait of Malacca to them.
This can at least avoid the outbreak of war and buy more time for development.
Wait until I become stronger, and then find an opportunity to make Geely regret its decision today!
Thinking of this, Qin Ruihua immediately picked up the phone to contact the relevant personnel, arranged for all the income from the Strait of Malacca to be transferred to Geely Country, and requested that the handover procedures be completed as soon as possible.
After doing this, he leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and thought about his next plan.
