Xu also looked at Marquis Descartes, who was talking to the representative of the Kingdom of Lurson who was in charge of this meeting - Count Didamans, Director of the Foreign Affairs Office of the Kingdom of Lurson - with an undisguised scrutiny in his eyes.
The proactive peace talks proposed by the Candela Empire this time were both within his expectations and beyond his expectations.
As the war continued, the Candela Empire suffered disastrous defeats one after another, and realized from these disastrous defeats that the powerful army they were proud of and the magisters they most relied on were meaningless. Then they would inevitably think of themselves. It is already difficult to win this war.
In this case, in order to ensure the territorial integrity of the Candela Empire and prevent further losses, proactive peace talks are an inevitable measure for the Candela Empire, because if the peace talks are successful, it will at least buy the Candela Empire a lot of time.
What Xu Yi did not expect was that the Candela Empire would realize so early that they could not compete with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on the frontal battlefield, and therefore proposed peace talks much earlier than Xu Yi expected.
This is enough to prove that the Candela Empire is not all people who live in tradition and still have the mentality of "I am the best in the world", but there are many sensible people who can see the situation clearly.
So Xu Yi personally negotiated the peace talks on behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce this time.
If the Candela Empire can really clearly understand the situation and come up with a plan that satisfies Xu Yi, then he won't mind genuine peace talks.
After all, the Candela Empire is one of the two major empires on this continent. With the strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, even if it cooperates with several other countries, it is basically impossible to swallow the Candela Empire entirely.
And using war to destroy the Candela Empire was riddled with holes and a mess, that was not what Xu Yi wanted to see.
In the history of the earth, there have actually been situations similar to the present.
That is, the ancient Mongolian army had the ability to be completely invincible on the frontal battlefield, which enabled them to ride across the Eurasian continent on war horses and build an extremely huge empire that almost covered the entire Eurasian continent.
But such an empire is only occupied in name only. In fact, the Mongol Empire had such weak control over its own territory that it did not last long before it was completely divided and then gradually withered away.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce now has invincible combat power on the frontal battlefield with its military magic machinery that is countless times more advanced.
If Xu is willing. In fact, he can also let the several countries that cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team to defeat the entire Sainz continent with invincible opponents.
But this doesn't make much sense.
Xu Yi's ideal is to establish a complete magic industrial system on the continent of Sainz, and then use this system to greatly increase the productivity and production level of the continent, thereby improving the civilization of the entire continent and improving everyone's lives. .
War is only a means, not an end.
The reason why there was a war with the traditional strengths represented by the two empires. It was just because the two empires tried to snatch away the dominance of building the magic industrial system and the huge benefits contained in it from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
Xu Yi doesn't care about dividing these interests, but Xu Yi doesn't allow this dominance to fall into the hands of others.
Except for himself, Xu Yi did not believe that there could be another person on this continent who had the same knowledge and experience in creating a magic industrial system.
"If this peace negotiation can succeed, of course we will make certain compensation to your country, and I believe your country will be satisfied."
At this time, Marquis Descartes had ended his preliminary negotiations with Count Didamance and turned to look at Xu Yi.
"President Xu, I wonder what your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's opinion is?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "The peace talks were initiated by your Candela Empire. So of course you should put forward the conditions first."
"President Xu is right." Marquis Descartes nodded and raised his hand to make a gesture.
Two people walked out of the Kandra Empire envoy behind him, came to Xu Yi and Count Didamans respectively, took out two documents and handed them to them respectively.
"This is the preliminary peace agreement drawn up by the Imperial Council of Elders. Please take a look at it."
Xu Yi and Count Didamans looked at each other, reached out to take the document, opened it and read it carefully, then frowned slightly.
In this peace agreement, the Candela Empire proposed that the two sides agree on a truce. The Luersun Kingdom and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce evacuated the territory of the Kandra Empire, but the Kandra Empire did not hold them accountable for the losses they caused to the Kandra Empire in this war.
This is considered normal, after all, it is the basis for the truce between the two sides.
However, in this agreement, the words used by the Candela Empire still have a hint of condescension. Makes you look uncomfortable.
Of course, the tone and words are not important, what is important is the conditions.
In the armistice conditions proposed by the Candela Empire after the agreement, the Candela Empire stated that after the armistice, the Candela Empire would be fully open to the Luersun Kingdom and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. And provide a series of preferential policies.
The opening of the Luersun Kingdom is mainly to lift the consistent hostile policy between the two sides on the border, allowing civilians and merchants of the Luersun Kingdom to freely enter the Candela Empire, and at the same time giving special treatment second only to the civilians of the Candela Empire.
At the same time, the Candela Empire will also dismantle the troops that were originally hoarded on the border between the two sides, and will also select ten cities on the border as cities for in-depth cooperation and exchange between the two sides. People from the Luersun Kingdom will not have to pay taxes when entering these ten cities, etc...
In short, a series of conditions revolve around the preferential policies that the Kandera Empire gives to the Kingdom of Luersun. Although it seems to be very good, in fact there is not much content. The Kandera Empire will not invest too much manpower in this. material resources.
Even... these conditions have a hint of charity.
In comparison, the conditions offered by the Candela Empire to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are much better.
The Candela Empire promised that after the armistice between the two sides, the Candela Empire would treat the New Flying Chamber of Commerce the same as the Chamber of Commerce within the Candela Empire.
In other words, in the future, any goods from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will not need to pay additional tariffs when entering the Candela Empire. They will only need to pay normal commercial taxes like the domestic chamber of commerce in the Candela Empire.
At the same time, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will also be protected by the laws of the Candela Empire. In the event of disputes or various accidents, the Candela Empire official will provide various supports to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
In addition, the Candela Empire also promised to further cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, ensuring that any cooperation projects with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will receive the highest attention from the Candela Empire and enjoy various priorities and conveniences.
At first glance, these conditions are very tempting, because it can be said to be a great convenience for a chamber of commerce like Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Just the elimination of tariffs alone will allow the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to significantly increase the total volume of goods imported from the Candela Empire, thereby achieving even more astonishing profits.
If another ordinary chamber of commerce obtains such conditions, it will undoubtedly be grateful to the Candela Empire and feel deeply honored.
But when Xu Yi saw these conditions, he couldn't help but sneer.
"Marquis Descartes, are these all the conditions proposed by your Candela Empire?" Xu Yi raised the peace agreement in his hand and asked Marquis Descartes.
Marquis Descartes smiled and responded: "This is just a preliminary agreement. If you are not satisfied with anything, President Xu, we can discuss it again."
"I'm not dissatisfied at all." Xu Yi shook his head and gently threw the peace agreement in his hand. The agreement flew back as if it had wings and landed on the table in front of Marquis Descartes with a thud. Then Xu Yi raised his voice slightly and continued with a serious face: "I am not satisfied with this entire agreement! Marquis Descartes, if your Candela Empire wants to conduct peace talks with this attitude, then please come back. Let's go to the battlefield next. See you above.”
Marquis Descartes glanced at the agreement on the table. There was no panic on his face. He was just silent for a moment, and then continued to smile: "President Xu, peace talks need to be negotiated slowly. Don't you agree to the conditions?" If you are satisfied, we can propose new conditions, or you can simply propose the conditions required by your new aviation chamber of commerce, and we will adjust based on the situation. What do you think?"
Xu Yi glanced at him, stood up directly, and left the living room where the three-party meeting was held.
The other members of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who were present did not hesitate at all and followed Xu Yi and filed out.
Marquis Descartes and all members of the Candela Empire envoy were immediately stunned.
They never expected that Xu Yi would have such a bad temper, and they would immediately turn against each other and leave on the spot.
This is completely different from the various negotiations in their minds.
If you are not satisfied with the conditions, then Marquis Descartes has already said that we can talk slowly, but why do you just leave without saying anything
Marquis Descartes stayed for a while, then turned to Count Didamans and asked: "Your Majesty, President Xu is... a little unkind, isn't it? Since you have agreed to negotiate with us, Isn’t it too much to adopt such an attitude now?”
Count Didamance had a calm and relaxed smile on his face. He glanced at Marquis Descartes, then took a slow sip, and then said leisurely: "Marquis Descartes, don't you understand yet? This time it's... You, the Candela Empire, mainly proposed peace talks. But you came up with such conditions, which are just like trying to coax a child. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous that you said President Xu’s attitude is bad? I just want to ask you about your attitude. Ok?"
Marquis Descartes' face darkened: "I have already said that if we are not satisfied with the conditions, we can discuss it in detail. The so-called negotiation is to finally find a result that everyone is satisfied with, right?"
Earl Didamance chuckled, shook his head, put the teacup in his hand on the table, stood up and slowly wandered outside.
Other Luersun Kingdom personnel in the room also left.
In the blink of an eye, only the Candela Empire envoys were left in Nuoda's living room, and even the servants responsible for serving tea and water were withdrawn.
Marquis Descartes and other members of the envoy looked at each other and were speechless for a long time. (~^~)
