Chapter 117 Peace Talks Fail
"Duke Yodel, Duke Marsalan, on behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I formally propose to the two countries to stop this battlefield and the two sides sign an armistice agreement." Fei Wen, director of the External Relations Department of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, pushed the frame on the bridge of his nose Looking at the two people sitting on both sides of the table with a serious expression, he stated his intention of coming with an extremely solemn expression.
To be able to invite these two Dukes who are currently in charge of the frontline command of the Lampari Kingdom and the Marlow Empire respectively, to sit down and have a face-to-face conversation, even if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce came forward, it was a waste of a lot of energy and effort.
The Kingdom of Lampari is quite easy to talk about, but President Freya will agree if she asks in front of King Raymond.
However, the Marlow Empire did not immediately agree to the request of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Instead, after repeated contacts from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and finally through the contact of Duke Southgate, who has now become the Finance Minister of the Marlo Empire, Marlowe was allowed to The Luo Empire agreed.
This meeting, which can be said to be the first meeting of the frontline army commanders of the two sides, is of great significance, but the atmosphere is far from harmonious.
Hearing Feiwen's words, the frontline commander of the Maro Empire, Duke Marsalan, snorted coldly: "Your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce wants us to cease fighting? What are you kidding! Why should we listen to you?"
Fei Wen glanced at him, not surprised by his reaction.
According to intelligence, the Duke of Marsalan is one of the representatives of the radical faction of the Maro Empire military, and he is the most active in the battle.
Getting him to let go and agree to the truce is simply as difficult as climbing the sky.
"You Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also have the nerve to say that you don't intervene in the wars between the other two countries? Why didn't you jump out when our Maro Empire was at a disadvantage? Now we have managed to bring the situation back, but when you saw Lampa The Li Kingdom is at a disadvantage, so they hurriedly jumped out to ask us to stop the war? Pooh!"
The expression on the Duke of Marsalan's face was full of disdain, and his gaze towards Feiwen was even more full of naked aggression, without any concealment.
"Our Lampari Kingdom is at a disadvantage?" Hearing his words, Duke Yoddle, the frontline commander of the Lampari Kingdom, sneered. "Don't think that you have the right to be arrogant in front of me after you have won a few battles without pain. Do you really think we can't beat you?"
"Isn't it?" Duke Marsalan glared back. "If you don't accept it, let's go back now, believe it or not, I'll beat the shit out of you immediately?"
After that, he glanced at Feiwen again. Sneered: "Don't think that if Xinfei Chamber of Commerce wants to help you now, you can become arrogant. Let me tell you, the rookies in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce guards have not seen blood for so many years, so what if they join the war? I see. A group of people outside said that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is so terrible. They are simply scaring themselves. In fact, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has long since failed? Otherwise, it would have been like the former President Xu, directly leading the army It has reached our empire. Do you still need to use these useless words here?"
"Duke Marsalan, please pay attention to your words. The principle that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has always adhered to is that everyone coexists peacefully and develops together. We will never use force lightly unless necessary."
"When necessary?" Duke Massalan sneered harshly again. "Before the guys from the Lampari Kingdom were going to the mainland of the Maro Empire, why didn't you see your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce jumping out to say that? Now we are going to the Lampari Kingdom, and you think it is necessary Time? Hey, it’s not the same to have your own son as king…”
Hearing the last sentence, Feiwen's expression changed drastically.
Duke Yoddle was furious and stood up directly. He slapped the table hard, pointed at the Duke of Marsalan and yelled, "Shut up! You are also a dignified duke, but you don't feel ashamed to say such things?"
The Duke of Marsalan looked at him sideways, and sneered: "What? I got it right, are you guilty?"
Duke Yoddle reached into his arms angrily, took out a magic pistol that he carried with him, and pointed the gun at Duke Marsalan.
"Take back your words immediately, or don't blame me for being rude!"
The Duke of Marsalan was not afraid, and even shrugged with a smile.
"Go ahead. See if I can blink."
The guards brought behind the two also took out their guns at this time, pointing their guns at each other, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.
"Please stop, both of you." Feiwen's voice sounded.
In this tense atmosphere, her voice became extremely calm. The tense atmosphere was instantly relieved.
"Two, I invited you two together this time to discuss the truce and peace talks between the two sides, not to fight." Feiwen turned her head and stared at the Duke of Marsalan. "Duke Marsalan, the reason why our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce chose to express our hope for a truce between the two sides at this time is because I think you understand very well. If it weren't for your Maro Empire's excessive behavior, our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would never Will intervene in disputes between your two countries."
The Duke of Marsalan was slightly suffocated.
Of course he understands.
Xinfei Chamber of Commerce jumped out at this time, of course because of the refugee camp incident that happened before.
Regardless of whether the magic airship brigade of the Maro Empire made a mistake or not, the fact is that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce lost more than a hundred guards and some staff as a result, and also lost a large refugee camp, which made the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce lose its ability The halo of protecting the safety of refugees is tantamount to a heavy slap in the face of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
It would be strange if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not respond to this.
What the Maro Empire is most worried about is that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce directly participated in the war under the pretext of this incident, and formed a coalition with the Lampari Kingdom to declare war on the Maro Empire.
If the Xinfei Merchant Association makes this choice, the Maro Empire will inevitably be under tremendous pressure.
Although the Maro Empire has developed for so many years, the domestic magic industry has already formed a complete system, and it can even mostly get rid of the influence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Unlike twenty years ago, the two generations of empires combined cannot resist The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but the strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is extremely dreadful after all, so it would be best not to provoke it.
"Our Chamber of Commerce is worried that if the war continues, with the scale of the war between your two countries, similar incidents may become more and more frequent, which will not only have a great impact on the tranquility of the entire continent, but will also seriously affect the interests of our Chamber of Commerce. Damaged. Therefore, we solemnly request a truce from both of you."
The Duke of Marsalan let out a hey, thinking that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is very bachelor, so bluntly stated that this would seriously damage their interests, so he asked for a truce.
But the interests of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are not equal to the interests of the Maro Empire.
The Duke of Marsalan stood up directly: "Director Feiwen, our Marlow Empire will never agree to the truce. If your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce wants to join hands with the Lampari Kingdom, please feel free. Give it to your Fry for me." President Ya said something, she is not her father, President Xu Yixu, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not the same Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that could make the two empires join forces more than 20 years ago, so she is a little self-aware , do it yourself."
Leaving those words behind, the Duke of Marsalan left straight away.
Duke Yoddle stared blankly at the direction Duke Marsalan left for a while, then looked back at Ferwen.
"Minister Feiwen, this..."
He never thought that the attitude of the Maro Empire would be so tough.
Do they really think that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is nothing to worry about?
But after thinking about it, maybe what Duke Marsalan said made sense.
After all, it is different from more than 20 years ago. The magic industry in various countries on the mainland has developed extremely rapidly, and the gap with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the magic industry is already extremely small.
In terms of military magic machinery, the major powers are even more invested in the development, and the gap with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is even smaller, and there may even be no gap at all.
Otherwise, why hasn't the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce really made a move for so many years?
Even if there is any force action, it is just bullying those primitive natives who have never experienced the baptism of magic industrial civilization on Moyun Continent. According to intelligence, the combat effectiveness displayed is very average.
If this is the case, then the combat power of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is probably not as strong as before.
It is understandable that the Maro Empire has such an attitude.
The fluctuating expression on Duke Yoddle's face fell into Phoebe's eyes, how could she not guess what was in Duke Yoddle's mind.
But she didn't want to explain anything, she just nodded to Duke Yoddle and said, "Don't worry, our chamber of commerce will not give up our efforts to cease the war. Duke Yoddle, I hope you will cooperate more with the Lampari Kingdom."
Duke Yoddle smiled wryly.
Cooperate? How to cooperate?
Negotiations between countries can only be based on strength.
If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Lampari Kingdom can't hold down the Maro Empire, then no matter how hard it is to negotiate, it will be a waste of effort.
However, the current strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is still a mystery. Not only Duke Masalan expressed doubts, but even Duke Yodel also had doubts in his heart.
In case the combat effectiveness of the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is actually very weak now, how can the Lampari Kingdom rely on their strength?
What made Duke Yoddle even more suspicious was the choice of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce this time.
If it was the former Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, more than a hundred of its guards had been killed. I am afraid that President Xu would declare war on the Maruo Empire without saying a word. Why would he send someone out first like now? , took great pains to put forward a request for the two sides to negotiate a truce.
In the eyes of others, it is simply a show of weakness.
Thinking of this, Duke Yodel strongly missed Xu Yilai, the former Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
If Chairman Xu is still in office, Duke Marsalan would definitely not dare to be so arrogant, right? (~^~)
