Chapter 257: Thirty Years in the East and Thirty Years in the West
"You have the guts."
He raised a thumb and shook it at the President of the Atlantic Federation in front of him.
Seeing that he had spit on the other person's face, he actually acted as if to ask him if he wanted to spit again.
It’s okay, I definitely don’t look angry.
The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of East Asia put away his lazy attitude and sat up straight.
As we all know, unlike rogue countries like the Atlantic Federation, the East Asian Federation insists on having a legitimate reason for its actions.
What does that mean?
That is, there must be a reason behind everything.
For example, not firing the first shot, not using the Light of Peace first, etc.
This strategy has both good and bad consequences.
The good thing is that with this strategy, the East Asian Federation's international image will be similar to that of the Atlantic Federation.
If you dare to pull out a piece of toilet paper, this is why I will beat you!
The external reputations of the two are as different as heaven and earth.
Once the East Asian Federation becomes stronger, people willing to make friends with it will naturally flock to it.
The disadvantage is that people may encounter bugs like the one in front of us.
We must know that the interactions between countries are very complicated, and the interactions between people are many times more complicated, and it is not so easy to settle scores with revenge.
There are also many rules that cannot be put on the table, but everyone needs to accept them as a default.
The East Asian Fleet in the universe was ambushed by the Atlantic Federation Fleet, and the weapon "Light of Peace" was brazenly used.
It is clear to all countries in the world who is right and who is wrong.
Logically speaking, East Asia should immediately send its own light of peace to the Atlantic Federation, right?
This is the truth, and it is a continuation of the practice from the old history of the League of Nations, after the Atlantic Federation took action.
From that moment on, the Light of Peace was bound by agreement.
The five biggest gangsters among the three giants of the United Army should have been filled with the light of peace long ago.
But the current situation is different from what happened in history.
Since the Adjuster threw a neutron jammer into the Earth's sphere, theoretically speaking, the Light of Peace of all the clans in the gravity sphere became firewood sticks.
Not to mention how the Atlantic Federation’s Light of Peace was unsealed.
Even after unblocking the Light of Peace, the Atlantic Federation has not yet informed its allies.
Anyway, those who understand know that the Atlantic Federation is a rogue country and it is useless to reason with it.
But the East Asian Federation cannot do that. The East Asian Federation has to have face.
The sneaky East Asian Federation unleashed the Light of Peace with its own strength, but the bad thing happened before it threw the Light of Peace at the Atlantic Federation.
The East Asian Federation also did not inform other allies about the lifting of the ban on the Light of Peace.
Therefore, it is not okay to smash the Light of Peace!
Once action is taken, it will be morally unjustifiable and will also damage East Asia's international image.
So can we smash the goddess of love?
After all, the goddess of love is pollution-free and environmentally friendly, so the answer is - no.
Frustrating, right? Frustrating!
Here we have to talk about the Atlantic Federation's textbook-level self-rescue performance before it smashed the Light of Peace.
A country that emerged from nothing, with a shorter history than any other country in the world, and a history book that is only as thick as one.
But it is such a country that can rise high without much historical accumulation.
However, it is a country that once dominated the earth's gravity circle for a long time. It is not a simple thing after all.
When the Atlantic Federation Fleet stabbed the East Asian Fleet first, the Atlantic Federation government sent a note to the East Asian Federation.
It shows that their own fleet has rebelled!
They are also carrying weapons of mass destruction, so the allies of the East Asian Federation please be extremely careful.
If you encounter this rebellious fleet, you can kill or chop them up as you please!
What this means is that this fleet has nothing to do with our Atlantic Federation. We don’t know what they do and we can’t control it.
If you, the East Asian Fleet, encounter the same thing, you can do whatever you want.
Isn’t it shameless?
Most people would say it is shameless, extremely shameless.
Other countries can also say it is shameless, extremely shameless.
But the East Asian Federation cannot do that, absolutely not!
why?
Because in the history of the East Asian Federation, there was also an army that endured humiliation.
Of course, those were not the rebels of the East Asian Federation, but the East Asian Federation wanted to support the neighboring country but could not directly declare war on the 17 gangs.
Things that were done out of necessity were carried out under a different banner.
At that time, the East Asian Federation meant that I will not declare war on you, this is just a spontaneous behavior of the people below!
At that time, with such means, even if everyone was fighting on the island country, it would be a disaster.
The Atlantic Federation also swallowed its anger. Even though it shouted about what it would do, it ultimately did not actually engage in a fight with the East Asian Federation!
So as the world changes, the East Asian Federation has already overwhelmed the Atlantic Federation.
The bastard who was once unattainable has now bowed down and learned the tactics of the East Asian Federation, which he used to look down upon.
What can the East Asian Federation do?
To deny the other person's reasons is to indirectly deny yourself.
This is one of the reasons and sources of confidence for the Atlantic Federation's brazen rebellion!
This trick of the rebels is useless against other countries, but for some reasons, it can indeed play a certain role against the East Asian Federation!
"Thank you for the compliment from His Excellency the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the East Asian Federation."
After wiping the saliva off his face, the Atlantic Federation's commander-in-chief adopted the strategy of "you do whatever you want and I'll take it".
Don't worry about what you think, I'm just enjoying it.
"All personnel related to your country's rebel forces must be brought to our territory to face trial."
"Of course, all punishments will be carried out in accordance with the laws of our country."
"As for the corresponding compensation issue, our request is a war reparation of 40000 billion federal coins."
He stretched out his hand to stop the Atlantic Federation's commander-in-chief from boasting, and stared at the shameless guy.
The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of East Asia felt that since his previous rude behavior did not anger the other party.
You can't let the other party touch even a hair on your head, and you can't find another reason to get angry.
Then let's change to something more elegant.
The request for the trial of personnel from East Asia was probably irrelevant to the Atlantic Federation. After all, the fleet that claimed to have rebelled was now completely destroyed, and the other side had even thrown out a guy like Azrael as a scapegoat.
Handing over the relevant personnel is also the meaning of the question
But what about the 40000 billion federal dollars in compensation?
Based on the population of the Atlantic Federation, this means that each person will have to pay approximately 1000 federal coins.
Will they agree?
“There is no problem with the personnel being tried.”
Nodding, the Atlantic Federation leader, just as the East Asian Deputy Foreign Minister expected.
He had no objection to the first request, but he changed the excuse for the second one.
"I said before, they are the rebels of our Atlantic Federation, so legally speaking, what they do has nothing to do with us."
"How can we talk about compensation for defeat?"
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the East Asian Federation lit up.
Okay, that's what I want you to say.
Wait! I'm going to lose my temper.
The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the East Asian Federation was about to slam the table.
"However, in the spirit of humanitarianism, we can provide corresponding financial assistance to the East Asian Federation for its losses this time."
"The soldiers of the East Asian Federation are on the front lines, fighting for the interests of all of us natural people."
"But we didn't expect something like this to happen. We will consider the 40000 trillion federal coins as support for the soldiers fighting on the front lines."
"I hope the East Asian Federation will accept this as a small token of my appreciation."
The Atlantic Federation's commander-in-chief then spoke with a smile on his face.
Staring at the hand of the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the East Asian Federation who was about to slam the table, he smiled meaningfully.
Isn’t it just 40000 trillion federal coins?
We in the Atlantic Federation are rich and don’t care!
Considering the material resources of the Atlantic Federation and winning the favor of friendly countries, isn't it enough for me to accept it for the survival of the Atlantic Federation!
Now the Deputy Foreign Minister of the East Asian Federation could no longer clap, and the other side acted like the second Lord Buddha of the Atlantic Federation.
This is not easy to send
Moreover, they wanted to use the name of compensation they were asking for, but the other party said it was financial assistance.
Before I came here, the higher-ups had already discussed this with the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, and told him not to worry about it.
Everyone is a seasoned veteran, and for the sake of a reputation, both sides can argue until the end of time.
"Your country is very sincere."
With his hand suspended in the air, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of East Asia did not take his hand back.
"As the Grand Commander of the Atlantic Federation, you need to go to our country's martyrs' cemetery and kneel down in silence to mourn for the innocent soldiers who died."
"No problem. The soldiers of East Asia sacrificed their lives for us. This is what they should do."
"Your country needs to fully open up its financial markets, the right to freely buy and sell land, the right to transfer equity of various types of companies, patent agreements for science and technology, etc."
"No problem. We are all one family. We are willing to develop in-depth cooperation with East Asia."
"Residents of our country can travel freely to and from the Atlantic Federation, and will automatically acquire all the rights of your country's citizens after living there for a year."
"this problem."
The Atlantic Federation commander-in-chief agreed to the previous conditions very readily, but when it came to this point, he seemed very hesitant.
Open citizenship?
Given the population size of the East Asian Federation, after one year of settlement, they would be given the same rights as their own cattle and horses.
The other party tried their best to send people over.
Not too much. Will the Atlantic Federation still be the Atlantic Federation in ten years?
This is different from the previous series of clauses. The company can rely on its strong capital to resist to a certain extent.
Compared with the East Asian Federation, population size will always be our biggest flaw!
"Oh?"
Laughing happily, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the East Asian Federation pressed his hand down a little.
Seeing the hand of the East Asian Federation's Deputy Foreign Minister falling downward, the Atlantic Federation's President urgently exchanged glances with his staff.
"Yes, we can share what we have. We welcome the people of the East Asian Federation to contribute to the construction of our Atlantic Federation!"
"Whether they are Chinese citizens who have obtained citizenship of your country or those who have temporarily obtained citizenship of your country for less than one year, as long as they are legal citizens of our country."
"Since they enjoy the protection of our country's laws, your country must notify us when trying the relevant personnel and let our judges try them in accordance with our legal principles."
"Even if they are found guilty, they must serve their sentence within our country."
His hand did not stop falling just because the other party agreed. The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the East Asian Federation continued to press down while speaking.
Extraterritoriality? Or return to serve in the East Asian Federation?
This is too much bullying, even for the President of the Atlantic Federation who has been mentally prepared.
His face also changed color slightly.
What would happen if this was agreed to? What would happen to the Atlantic Federation?
A semi-colonial, semi-federal country?
This is not the end yet, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of East Asia is still speaking.
"There have been historical relics of Chinese residents' activities in Alaska since ancient times. It can be reliably traced back that Chinese residents settled there before your country's nationals arrived."
“However, given the historical ties between our two countries, it makes no sense for our country to seek to expand its territory.”
"Therefore, I will lease the entire Alaska region from your country for 199 years."
"At the same time, in order to promote exchanges between our two countries, I hope that the following ports in your country can be fully opened to my country."
"."
Amid the incoherent words and in the slowly dull eyes of the Atlantic Federation's President.
The East Asian Federation's Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs never closed his mouth for more than 5 seconds.
The demands made by the East Asian Federation's Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs cannot be described as exorbitant.
It should be described as being more demanding and copying all the unequal treaties in history.
This also made the Atlantic Federation's President's face turn from white to blue, and from blue to black.
Good guy, if we really do everything according to the requirements put forward by the East Asian Federation.
The Atlantic Federation should stop calling itself a country and simply give all its national sovereignty to East Asia.
"I disagree!"
In the end, it was not the Deputy Foreign Minister of the East Asian Federation who slammed the table, even though his staff were winking at him.
The commander-in-chief finally acted like a man for once. He slammed the table and sternly said "no".
