Negotiation was not blindly forcing each other. Negotiation was to always maintain a good relationship with the negotiating parties. This was the key point that a negotiator must remember in diplomatic negotiations.
The Deputy Commander raised his hand to wipe off the sweat on his head; he cursed the old government silently and suddenly felt that it was inappropriate for him to come over. There was no way he could convince the Chinese ambassador to face the war in his country, no way to ask him to…close an eye on the matter.
Recalling what one of the leaders of the new policy group told him in a very disdainful tone before his departure, “China has always been weak. As long as we are determined, they will be as unconditionally and tolerant as before! You can directly tell him that our artillery fire had accidentally landed in China; we did not deliberately offend them. Remind China to evacuate Chinese residents on the border that may be affected by artillery fire to a safe zone.”
“China has always been on the weak side of diplomacy. Remember the attack on the mansion that occurred last year? Such a major incident was resolved by a single sentence “it was a mistaken bombing,” and the Chinese could only suppress the anger in their hearts.”
“The Chinese adhere to the peaceful governance of the country. They do not hope that the war between both countries will lead to economic decline, and they do not want to go back to the era when they can’t even have enough food. So you should just tell them that the artillery fire from our country was by mistake. They can only choose to forbear, trust me.”
Thinking of what the leader said, the Deputy Commander cursed the leader countless times in his heart, “What does he mean the Chinese would be the same as before, idiot!”
Being influenced by the leader, he thought that he would just need to say a few words to the Chinese ambassador, letting him know that they would not infringe on the Chinese nationals, then the matter could be resolved.
Unexpectedly, the Chinese ambassador had a firm attitude, and his calmness made him have a hunch that perhaps the other party…had already made arrangements behind his back.
Everyone wanted to govern the country in peace; no one wanted a war. Everyone was afraid that a war would cause national power to retreat, let alone national civil strife.
Once other countries intervened with force, then it would not be internal strife in the country anymore. Instead, they would have internal and external troubles!
Regarding the strength of the Chinese side, the Deputy Commander knew that their new policy leaders’ calculations had failed. Now it was impossible to realize their desire to move the war outside and keep the city from being destroyed!
That was a whimsical idea!
“Ambassador, we are indeed very sincere. We only hope that China will continue to maintain its original viewing attitude. There is really no need for China to express anything.” The Deputy Commander of the Second Special Zone, who came with the same responsibility, could not help lowering his posture a little, “Our Second Special Zone Allied Forces have always been pro-China. That is why I am willing to risk being assassinated by the old policy to communicate with China in advance. I hope that China can consider our proposal.”
Consider our proposal?
The corners of Qin Xiu’s mouth raised slightly, revealing a faint smile, and his black eyes darkened, and they were also a bit sharp, “Your country has chosen to do the opposite, but you still want our country to continue to obey you and keep a peaceful trade? Your Excellency, there is a saying in our country, “Only state officials are allowed to set fires, the people are not allowed to light lamps” I believe this saying can be used to describe what your country is doing now.”
“Our country has always adhered to the peace policy. Our country is benevolent and righteous. We do not like to undermine the friendship between both countries, but that does not mean our country is forgiving. Please do not regard our country’s attitude as a concession.”
“The flames have started and spread across the borders of our country. It is only your country’s imagination to think our country will continue to hold up to our initial attitude. Never let other countries look down at our country. This is our country’s only attitude. It is late already; you should go back as soon as possible, Deputy Commander, and relay our country’s view to your country’s leaders.”
