Chapter 242 Negotiations between the two countries.
Time flies, and two days pass in a flash.
The Minister of the Army, Kiyotaka Watanabe, worked tirelessly to reach the temporary ceasefire zone at the border between Goryeo and Daeju.
At the same time, Marshal Chen Yixin also rushed here in a dusty state.
Two influential figures are about to meet for the first time.
A moment later, key officials from both countries took their seats in the conference room.
Minister of War Kiyotaka Watanabe smiled and said politely, "Your Excellency Marshal Lu, it is a great honor for me to meet you here."
However, Marshal Chen Yixin did not appreciate it at all and responded directly: "Come on, don't bother with those useless tricks."
"Tell me, what do you want to talk about this time?"
"Are you planning to surrender?"
When Army Minister Watanabe Kiyotaka heard this, his face darkened slightly, but he still tried to remain calm and said, "Your Excellency the Marshal is being a little too arrogant."
"Now the outcome is still undecided, and it is still unknown who will win."
"How can we surrender so easily?"
Marshal Chen Yixin slammed the table and said, "Humph! If it's not surrender, what else is there to talk about?"
"There's nothing to talk about, just keep fighting!"
Seeing this, Army Minister Watanabe Kiyotaka hastily apologized with a smile: "Marshal, please be patient."
"The war has already developed to this point. Both our countries have suffered heavy losses. Why do we have to fight so hard?"
"In my opinion, it is better to stop the fighting now."
"Our country is willing to make certain compensation to your country for this."
Marshal Chen Yixin responded: "The losses of our country and Taishan Kingdom are indeed not small, but compared with the losses of your Dongyang Kingdom, they are simply insignificant."
"Besides, your Dongyang country is now being bombarded by our strategic bombers every day, and its overall strength is no longer as strong as before."
"If the United States had not provided you with these advanced fighter planes, I'm afraid we would have already accepted the surrender of your Emperor in your homeland."
"A ceasefire is not a bad idea, but what price are you willing to pay?"
Minister of the Army Kiyotaka Watanabe hurriedly said, "Marshal Lu, now that the United States has begun to interfere in Australia's affairs, don't you think your country has any intention of being tempted?"
"We are willing to pay 3 billion Yan country currency as compensation, and hope that the two countries will cease fighting."
Marshal Chen Yixin said: "The United States has just provided you with a batch of fighter jets, and you are so eager to sell out your master for glory?"
"As for the mere 3 billion in compensation, it is simply ridiculous."
"The amount of materials our country has invested in this war is far more than this!"
Army Minister Watanabe Kiyotaka responded solemnly: "Your Excellency Marshal Lu!"
"You should understand that in this complex international arena, how can there be eternal friendship between countries?"
“It’s all about profit.”
"We in the Great Dongyang Empire really don't want to see the United States swallow Australia so easily!"
"Once this happens, it will inevitably pose a serious threat to your country in the future."
"If your country feels that this compensation plan is not satisfactory, then please name a price."
Marshal Chen Yixin responded: "As for the affairs of Australia and the United States, I will not bother you to worry about it."
"At this moment, let us discuss the compensation."
"First, you need to pay 50 billion in compensation to our country."
"Secondly, all the islands around Okinawa should be assigned to our country. After all, our country has already occupied this place."
“There are also Jeju Island, Yakushima Island, Tanegashima Island, and two islands in the Tsushima Strait.”
Hearing this, Army Minister Watanabe Kiyotaka immediately became furious and shouted, "The conditions you proposed are simply ridiculous!"
"We will never cede any inch of our territory to your country, not even Jeju Island, which belongs to Goryeo!"
"As for the compensation, the maximum amount we can give is 5 billion!"
Marshal Chen Yixin suddenly stood up from his seat and slammed his hands hard on the table, causing the documents on the table to jump up.
"Don't agree? Fine! Let's continue fighting!"
"The little compensation you gave us is like treating us like beggars!"
"Also, we are gradually gaining control of the air."
"I believe you have all seen the new fighter jets that have been unveiled in the past two days!"
"Since we can't come to an agreement through negotiation, then stop talking nonsense and let's see who's the winner on the battlefield!"
Marshal Chen Yixin turned around and was about to leave before he finished speaking.
At this moment, Army Minister Watanabe Kiyotaka hurriedly stood up to stop him, his face full of anxiety: "Marshal Lu, please don't be angry first."
"Let's sit down and have a good discussion. As for the compensation, we are willing to increase it to 100 billion."
"In addition, Okinawa Island also belongs to your country."
"Is this okay?"
However, Marshal Chen Yixin was not moved at all, and responded firmly: "No! You can't lose any of the conditions I just proposed!"
"And as I just said, Okinawa Island has been occupied by our country. Do you think you have the ability to go back?"
"It's just a waste of my precious time to argue with you guys here!"
Seeing this, Army Minister Watanabe Kiyotaka became even more panicked and hurriedly persuaded again: "Please stay, Excellency. We can talk it out, we can talk it out..."
Marshal Chen Yixin stopped, turned around, looked at the other party coldly, and said in a firm tone: "Wait until you agree to all the conditions of our country before you come to talk to me, otherwise, no talk!"
"Besides, by then, there will be more than just these conditions!"
After saying this, he strode out of the room without looking back, leaving Army Minister Watanabe Kiyotaka and others standing there in a daze, looking at each other in bewilderment.
