In the meeting room in Canada.
Su Tianyu sat at the conference table, looked around with a gloomy face, and did not see anyone sent by the Gustav family. There were only two senior generals from Jia City in the room.
Jiangzhou, Wu Han, and An Qiqi sat next to Su Tianyu and listened to the meeting.
Gustav was defeated, but his family's power was still there. The reason they were so eager to start negotiations was simply to redeem his host.
The black general Arkadi sat opposite Su Tianyu and spoke first: "Commander Su, the Gustav family admits defeat and is willing to pay the price for it! They promise to pay a war reparations as a ransom to redeem Gustav himself back to Saint Paul City. The amount of compensation will not be small. At the same time, they will also guarantee that there will be no more political or military cooperation with District 1! From now on, Saint Paul City will enter a reconstruction period and cut off its relationship with District 1. What do you think?"
Su Tianyu frowned: "Compensation amount? How much do they want to pay?"
"Three to four hundred million euros," Arcadi replied.
Su Tianyu was silent for a while, then asked: "No more?"
"No." Arkady shook his head.
Su Tianyu looked at him coldly, and asked, "If it were you, would you agree?"
Arkady shrugged and said, "It's like this. I can't put myself in your shoes, but I can express a relatively neutral opinion. These are just some objective suggestions. The specific decision still needs to be made by you."
Su Tianyu nodded.
Arkadi went on to say, "Commander Su, I have to remind you. Although you won the war, from a national perspective, the coalition forces have no way of conquering San Pao City, because it is fundamentally different from Bana City. The regime family of Bana City is willing to cooperate with you, and a perfect consensus has been reached. Your relationship is very close, so you have a high voice in Bana City. But San Pao City is different. First of all, this war has brought irreconcilable national grievances and contradictions between the two sides! In the south of the city alone, hundreds of thousands of people have suffered from the war disaster, and have been displaced and become refugees. Their current hatred for the Chinese community is obviously obvious to all. Secondly, San Pao City has a large number of private armed forces. Unlike Bana City, they do not have a unified regime and complex forces. Even Gustav cannot command everyone."
Su Tianyu said nothing.
Arkady continued to talk: "As far as I know, Gustav is an out-and-out warlord who has accumulated primitive wealth through burning, killing and looting. Although he has been captured by you, his family still firmly controls the city of Saint Paul. If the remaining soldiers in their hands are gathered together, they will still form a powerful military force. If you do not compromise on this incident and put Gustav under house arrest or even shoot him... Then, you will most likely suffer crazy revenge from the other side. Moreover, these people's revenge will be more direct, such as terrorist attacks in Bana City or Dragon City... There is no way to prevent this kind of thing. Because it will penetrate everywhere and may happen at any time. In the beautiful and prosperous District 1, everyone has seen it, right?"
Arkady finished speaking, and everyone was silent.
Jiangzhou did not comment, but turned around, looked at Su Tianyu and asked: "Xiaoyu, what do you think?"
Su Tianyu thought for a while, then said to Arkadi: "Mr. Arkadi, thank you for your advice. Okay, I'm ready, let's start the negotiation, you can ask Gustav's people to come."
"Okay." Arkady nodded happily, stood up and shook hands with Su Tianyu: "This afternoon, I will arrange for Gustav's people to arrive in Jia City. There are no irreconcilable conflicts in the world. I hope you can resolve your conflicts."
Su Tianyu and Arkadi shook hands and ended the meeting.
After leaving, everyone came to the corridor. Jiangzhou walked beside Su Tianyu with his hands behind his back and asked in a low voice: "The conditions they offered were too low. Why did you let them come? Do you... have other ideas?"
Su Tianyu turned his head and glanced at Jiangzhou, and said softly: "Brother Jiang, do you know how many years Lao Hei has been with me? He has been with me since I was nothing..."
Jiangzhou was stunned.
Su Tianyu took a deep breath and continued, "In this battle... too many familiar faces are gone... many things are not about money..."
Jiangzhou looked at Su Tianyu silently, then reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
The two of them didn't say anything else and left with everyone else.
…
In the evening, the representatives sent by the Gustav family arrived in Jia City. Through the organization of several generals including Arkadi, they met with Jiangzhou and his men.
In the conference room, Jiangzhou and Wu Han arrived first.
The other party sent several officers, led by a brigadier general who was about fifty years old. He was wearing a military uniform of the City of Santa Paolo and looked very serious.
"Thank you, Mr. Arkady, for giving us a chance to talk." The Brigadier General put his hands in front of him, nodded to Arkady, then turned to Jiangzhou and said, "I came here with sincerity, and I hope we can reach a consensus on cooperation."
Jiangzhou held his chin and stared at him with cold eyes, without any reaction at all.
The brigadier general awkwardly withdrew his hand, glanced at the people in Jiangzhou, and said, "The conditions we can offer are 400 million war reparations and corresponding arms compensation. We hope that you can release General Gustav as soon as possible..."
"Bang!"
A loud bang interrupted the brigadier general's words.
The office door was kicked open, and Su Tianyu walked in with a pistol in his hand, his face flushed and reeking of alcohol.
Everyone in the conference room looked at him in surprise, except Jiangzhou and Wu Han, whose expressions did not change.
"Captain Su... are you drunk..." Arkadi said, looking a little embarrassed, as he stood up.
Su Tianyu walked around Arkadi and walked towards the brigadier general.
"Hey, what are you doing?!" The brigadier general looked at him and instinctively stood up: "We are sincere...!"
"I'm screwed!"
Su Tianyu quickly stepped forward, raised his foot, and kicked the brigadier general directly in the face!
“Bang!!”
The brigadier general, who was in his fifties, fell to the ground sideways with a thud.
“Crash!”
The other negotiators all stood up.
"Captain Su!" Arkady hurriedly pulled Su Tianyu: "What are you doing?"
Su Tianyu lowered the muzzle of the gun and pulled the trigger expressionlessly.
“Bang, bang!”
Two gunshots, and Arkadi's knees were broken!
"ah!!"
Arkadi howled and covered his legs.
Su Tianyu grabbed Arkady's neck and yelled hysterically: "A terrorist attack?! Are you threatening me? Damn it, why don't you dare to say it in front of me?! You even need someone to pass the message?! You shouted slogans before the war, but did the coalition forces crush you?! Huh?! If you want to talk, kneel down first! If you don't accept it, I will beat you a second time right away!"
