A state banquet hotel in Canada.
The next morning, Wu Han received a call from the city of Jia, saying that everything was ready. Time was tight, so Su Tianyu immediately took the delegation and flew directly to Jia to prepare for negotiations with the representatives of Gustav.
After they arrived in California, two generals in California immediately arranged for them to meet with the other party's representatives in the conference room of the State Banquet Hotel.
Su Tianyu, Jiangzhou, Wu Han, and also brought Boang and Jin Maohui who were staying here, without even taking a rest, they rushed to the State Banquet Hotel to meet each other.
Gustav sent six or seven representatives to show his importance to the matter. The chief representative was a middle-aged man in his forties who looked a little fat. His name was Sanchez.
It was around four o'clock in the afternoon when both parties arrived at the hotel and entered the pre-booked meeting room.
The two sides sat on either side of a long conference table and began to exchange pleasantries, but they were still somewhat unfamiliar with each other. In addition, a military conflict had just occurred, which made the atmosphere somewhat heavy.
As the chief representative of the negotiations, Su Tianyu sat in the middle of the long table and said solemnly: "Mr. Sanchez and all the representatives, on behalf of the city of Bana, I express regret and apology for the armed conflict that occurred outside the city of Santa Paolo. This meeting is to resolve this misunderstanding."
Sanchez, wearing a clean suit, sat opposite Su Tianyu. Upon hearing this, he immediately responded in a teasing tone: "I think that compared to an apology, it would be better to give us more practical military funds, which would make us happier."
"Ha ha!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and the atmosphere of the meeting became a little more relaxed.
After a few more casual chats, the negotiations officially began.
Su Tianyu exchanged a glance with Jiang Zhou, then sat up straight and made a request to him: "Mr. Sanchez, regarding the matter of the Chinese Workers' Union, I hope you can let us handle it ourselves and give us a relatively independent and relaxed contact space. To this end, we are willing to provide you with funds or military assistance. Through this matter, we are also willing to conduct some deeper cooperation with you and strengthen our relationship with each other."
Sanchez shook his head slightly and said, "I'm afraid it's difficult for me to decide this. First of all, Mr. Huo is an old friend of ours, and he has close contacts with General Gustav. There are many emotional and interest factors involved, so we hope that the differences between you can be resolved through negotiations rather than war. Secondly, we are very unfamiliar with you and have not established trust with each other. In addition, we are still in a military cold war period. There are still a large number of our soldiers lying in the hospital in Santa Paula. ... Therefore, it is a bit aggressive to talk about in-depth cooperation and strengthening relations now."
After Sanchez finished speaking, he glanced at Boang who was sitting next to him intentionally or unintentionally.
Boang noticed this look, but didn't take it seriously. He just looked at Su Tianyu seriously, with an expression that said, "Big brother, whoever you tell me to do, I'll do it."
After listening to this, Su Tianyu did not rush to reply.
Sanchez, the old fox, did not say anything final. He changed the subject and said, "However, since we are sitting at this negotiation table, it means that we are willing to show our sincerity. After all, no one likes war. We are here for peace. In order to show our sincerity, we are willing to try to make a deal first as our icebreaker."
"What kind of deal can end the Cold War between both sides?" Su Tianyu made a gesture of invitation.
"On the existing basis, we are willing to release some of the people you need." Sanchez stretched out a finger and said slowly: "Similarly, you have to pay corresponding compensation for these people. This is a very fair deal, and it can ease the relationship between us."
Su Tianyu was not opposed to this proposal, and asked tentatively: "Can anyone do it?"
Sanchez nodded: "Anyone can leave from Santa Pau City as long as you name them. We will escort them."
"Where is Wu Boxin? Can he leave?" Su Tianyu asked with a chuckle.
Sanchez was obviously stunned for a moment. He did not expect Su Tianyu to react so quickly. Then he replied in a firm tone: "Sorry, except for him."
After testing the bottom line, Su Tianyu and Jiangzhou looked at each other again, and then stopped bothering with each other about Old Wu. The meeting lasted for more than half an hour, and the details of the ice-breaking operation were briefly discussed, and the first round of negotiations ended.
Su Tianyu stood up and took the initiative to invite Sanchez: "Mr. Sanchez, let's have dinner together tonight so that we can communicate more about our relationship."
"Sorry, sir. It's not that we are impolite, but we have some appointments with our friends in the city of California tonight," Sanchez politely declined Su Tianyu's invitation, "It's not very convenient. Tomorrow, we will invite you to dinner."
"Haha, okay!" Su Tianyu did not force it. He stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party, then took the lead to leave the venue.
After coming out, Su Tianyu walked to Jiangzhou and Wu Han and said softly, "Brother, do you think District 1 is also trying hard?"
"Definitely." Jiang Zhou answered without hesitation: "Not only is District 1 working hard, Huo Dongsheng himself must be working everywhere. Gustav, the old fox, will not give up such a good opportunity. He is waiting for the right price."
Jiang Zhou paused with his hands behind his back and added, "But, I think there's nothing wrong with their way of breaking the ice. We pay them, and they release some people. Everyone gets what they need, so it's no loss! Besides, so many people from the Wang family have been released, and many of their relatives are still in Shengbao City. It would be good to bring them out, and it would also give an explanation to Wang Xiao, and it would save a lot of trouble later."
"Hmm..." Su Tianyu nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Alright, right now they have the initiative, we can only talk slowly and infiltrate slowly. We should be on an equal track with District 1 now."
"How about this." Jiangzhou patted Su Tianyu's shoulder: "Give them a similar offer later and see if they can accept it or not, or if they will bargain with you. Test their attitude."
"I think it's possible." Wu Han also interrupted: "As long as they are willing to talk, I think there is a chance."
"Ok!" Su Tianyu nodded: "Then I will go find Wang Xiao and ask him for a list."
"Okay, go ahead and do it." Jiangzhou nodded slowly.
…
Just as Su Tianyu and others contacted Shengbao City, District 1 was also holding an emergency meeting.
At the same time, Yu Mingyuan and An Qiqi were also using their military intelligence personnel in Area 1 to investigate the changes there.
