Chapter 1659 Transaction
“.Thank you, thank you. Without your country’s support, our defense line really couldn’t hold out.”
In the small conference room, on one side was the white-bearded old man and his staff who hurriedly expressed their feelings, and on the other side were the official negotiators and two East Country admirals who were just for show.
As an attendant, Lu Ping’an sat in the back bored. He didn’t understand the local language, but he felt that the old man looked familiar, as if he had often seen him on TV news.
The rest of the Shanyue government came from the opposite side. After learning that the reinforcements had arrived, they came without hesitation. The reason why they were partly instead of all was that many of the original “ministerial level” had died in the battle. Some positions were filled in time, and some had little to do with the war, so they were temporarily put aside.
The Shanyue country fought much harder than reported in the news. As a land country bordering the East Country, it was undoubtedly regarded as the core point of the attack.
The terrain in the south of their country is quite good, with plains mainly suitable for industrial development, and it was also the most economically developed area in the past. But the other side close to the ocean and with flat terrain was almost taken away by a wave.
Faced with the crushing of superior forces, sometimes no matter how solid the defensive position is, it is no match for the rotten land and the quagmire.
The first batch of attacks caused Shanyue to lose at least four million people, and at least five first-tier cities in China were massacred. These foreign invaders were hungry, and there was no need to say what they would do after landing.
"The Great Disaster" is their own term in their country. In fact, the East Country had warned them before, but they were obviously slow.
Taking the current battlefield as the center line, Nanyue can be said to be directly finished. The survivors of Beiyue used their geographical advantages to form a barrier and finally blocked the crisis of national destruction. It is hard to say whether they really won or those monsters were full and went back to digest and didn't want to move.
Although Lu Ping'an admired the hymn of human courage, he himself saw the data and the battle power ratio of both sides. Lu Ping'an estimated that it was likely the latter. Perhaps in the eyes of the invaders at that time, this area was a natural "breeding farm", and it would be bad to kill them all at once.
After entering the mountainous and forest areas, the overly long terrain also lengthened their supply lines, making them lack the motivation to continue to fight.
But even so, at least 90% of the administrative managers of the Mountain Country died. Their capital was the first to be destroyed in the disaster, and it was also the worst massacre.
The current Mountain regime is no longer the same as before. The white-bearded old man who is now the leader seems to have been an opposition party before. He is an extremist who follows the old era of armed struggle. He even has a guerrilla team of one or two hundred people. He is the country's most wanted criminal, but he did not expect that after the fall of the original government, he became the orthodox.
Lu Pingan remembered that the East Country media mentioned this person, but they were all good words, often prefixed with adjectives such as "fearless of life and death" and "determined".
". We need help."
But now, this determined old man directly asked for help.
"If we have the production technology of this drone, our front will be much better."
"The battlefield has collapsed, and we don't know what to do next. It's best to exert subjective initiative."
Sure enough, it finally came to this point.
Looking at the politicians above dealing with each other skillfully and bargaining with various official clichés, Lu Pingan also assessed the situation.
This deal should be able to be negotiated, because both parties really get what they need.
The changes of the times, a technological breakthrough may lead to the distortion of the entire war form.
In the current environment, the biggest advantage of the Earth's native land is its technological civilization. These creations cannot be effective in foreign lands, but they can indeed be used as cheap and high-quality killing machines in the native land.
The most important thing is that these things were originally just technical reserves, which suddenly became practical and mass-produced in the past three years.
This is not just drones, there are also a lot of automatic machinery and manned equipment of technological creations, but drones are determined to be extremely effective and the production is full.
This wave of technological and military leadership is the result of more than three years of Dongguo's hard work, but it is also the crystallization of Earth's technology. As a killer, it is always most useful at the moment of its appearance.
Now that it is taken out, before the invaders are prepared, naturally, as many results as possible will be achieved.
How far this expedition to Longyue Island can go depends on how long the advantages of this set of technology can last.
It is also because of the exposed reality that it is completely acceptable to give some technology and finished products to the allies now. Of course, it must be a reduced version, but how much it is reduced depends on the relationship between the two.
Shanyue Country is now helping Dongguo to guard the southern gate. It is certain that it will provide sufficient support, and a certain degree of technology transfer is also possible, but
"Do you still have industry?"
A negotiator asked this helpless question.
Still have industry? Even the agricultural fields were bombed. Without the assistance of Dongguo, they would have been starving long ago.
They were forced to hide in the forest and fight guerrilla warfare. There is no possibility of industry. Making fire at will is courting death, let alone doing industry.
And if there is no industry, giving you any technology is nonsense, and it may even aid the enemy.
". Then, we will build a new drone factory in Yunxiazhou (bordering Shanyue) and give you priority in production. At the same time, we will provide swarm upgrade services for your previous drones"
The negotiators did not intend to humiliate the other party, and directly gave the other party acceptable conditions.
Obviously, this was thought out long ago. The negotiators knew from the beginning that the other party would ask for technology. Of course, this goodwill could not be free.
Use post-war resources to give? In fact, on the other side of the border, it would be easy to transport ore and so on. The train that brought weapons was originally loaded with ore and fruit.
However, as the only local industry and resources, the Mountain Country did not give it smoothly. On the one hand, it lacked human resources, and on the other hand, it saved as much as possible.
Dongguo also turned a blind eye to this. After all, if the pipe was broken here, it might be gone there next week, and then the southern states of Dongguo would suffer from war.
But this time, the situation was slightly different.
".We will continue to move south soon. We need more minerals."
And this time, Dongguo planned to take the opportunity to settle the balance.
Default? Inconvenient transportation? It doesn't exist. Just move it to Longyue Island. If you don't have anyone, I will let Longyue Island assimilate (eat) that part of the mining area.
Looking at the aggressive negotiators from his side, Lu Ping'an is more optimistic about this cooperation.
Holding a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other is the basis of diplomatic cooperation. Since we have shown deterrence in this regard, we have naturally prepared more valuable bait.
". Before we leave, we will launch a decisive battle. Whether we can recapture your country's capital and territory depends on you."
