“Report! The local ethnic militants split up, our ambassador and three entourage called, they had driven out of the city of civil strife!”
“Okay! Keep in touch with the ambassador!” Upon hearing this news, the Deputy Commander of the Yun Province Military Region relaxed a little. Now the entire neighboring country was in chaos, and several cities had become war-focused areas!
The people who suffered from the chaos in the country would always be the civilians. The gunfire frightened them, and the bombing made them even more terrified. The unarmed civilians dared not stay; they had to leave their homes even if they didn’t want to.
The car was still filled with a faint bloody smell; even if it was washed with water several times, it could not be washed away… This was the bloody smell left by the owner of the car, who was killed by a stray bullet.
Qin Xiu pursed his thin lips and sat upright. He no longer had his initial elegance; only a cold determination showed on his face, “Please speed up; we have to go to the negotiation point ahead of schedule.”
The civil turmoil in the neighboring country was more serious than expected. The split of urban ethnic elements meant that the old policy had instigated ethnic armed elements. Once a war broke out, the borders of our country would definitely be disturbed.
There was no warning to instigate rebellion. They not only had the power of the old policies and counter-militants but also the support from the outside!
Qin Xiu had quickly adjusted the negotiation plan he had in mind. He must use an absolute position and a strong attitude to express his determination to safeguard the state-owned territories and protect the safety of our citizens.
Morgenthau’s discussion of diplomacy in “Politics between Nations: Power Struggle and Peace” pointed out that diplomacy was the art of persuasion, compromise, and the use of coercive force.
He would not compromise this time. He would only use coercion.
Moreover, he was going over to “negotiate,” not “talk.” The differences between the two were worlds apart. “Negotiation” had a very obvious purpose, and one must strive for every benefit for oneself in a negotiation.
A “talk” was like having a chat in a room, regardless of the results or other gains. The whole process was to understand and ascertain what other people were thinking.
The former was clear, and the latter was vague.
Halfway through the journey, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs called to clarify the purpose of the negotiation once again, “This is a political negotiation involving our country’s homeland security and the safety of the people. We hope that all parties in the neighboring country can sit down and negotiate first to find a mutual understanding!”
“Our country does not participate in the politics of other countries; we only adhere to the concept of peace. The forces of the neighboring countries must fight against each other, and all parties must ensure the peace of our border! If the peace of our border is disturbed, our country will take protective measures when necessary!”
When the Minister of Foreign Affairs said this, Qin Xiu turned on the speaker of his only mobile phone that could communicate with China so that the other three people in the car could hear him clearly.
Qin Xiu was in charge of the entire negotiation, and the three of them vowed to protect Qin Xiu’s safety.
At two o’clock in the morning, the car with a bullet hole in the door finally arrived at the negotiation site on time, and someone had already arrived to welcome them.
Ye Jian saw a familiar comrade again…J5. He blinked quietly at Ye Jian and shook hands with Qin Xiu with a serious expression, “Let’s go in first and talk later. I’m afraid there will be changes in the negotiation. A Deputy Commander came in 10 minutes earlier than you and found us. He only asked if you had come over; he didn’t say anything else.”
There were changes in the negotiation?!
Qin Xiu, whose complexion suddenly sank, was furious. And when he walked, he left a trace of fierce wind, and the corners of his suit flew by itself. At this moment, as a diplomat, Qin Xiu attracted everyone’s attention.
