Chapter 469 Peace Negotiation (10)
After a year, Vice President Geden and Ambassador Butu of Nepal held talks with the University of East Asia again.
Zhou Juwei, Director of the Foreign Affairs Office, Pan Zhe, Foreign Minister, and Jiang Ningyue, Deputy Director of the Office, attended the talks.
At the beginning of the meeting, Butu's words made everyone laugh.
"We hope your country can mediate and allow all Southeast Asian countries to sit down together for talks and resolve the current problems in Southeast Asia in a peaceful way."
Jiang Ningyue's eyes didn't hide her expression of looking at a fool. She looked at Butu and said, "Ambassador Butu, there's a hint of childish innocence in your words! Our country has publicly expressed countless times that it hopes all countries will resolve issues peacefully, but you've never listened! Now that Old Port has been occupied by the Allied Forces, and many islands have been occupied, do you even know about peace talks? Don't you think it's a little late now?"
The front collapsed, the Far East was lost, the Normandy landings took place, and you became an ally.
Butu's face looked a little ugly, and Vice President Gordon's face was also very embarrassed.
But there is no way. They still expect Todai to help them coordinate?
Butu looked at Director Zhou and Pan Zhe as if asking for help. After all, they were Jiang Ningyue's leaders. Jiang Ningyue was so outspoken, so didn't the two of them have any response?
Not really.
Both Director Zhou and Pan Zhe had blank expressions on their faces and were not prepared to comment on Jiang Ningyue's words.
Butu gave an awkward smile and said, "Minister Jiang, you're right. This is all President Palmer's fault. He believed the lies of the United States and brazenly started this war. However, he has already fled to America. But no matter what, it is the people of Nisi who are hurt. We sincerely ask for your help."
Jiang Ningyue continued, "You can ask for our help, and you can negotiate. But the prerequisite for everything is to resolve the militarism issue in your country. If this issue is not resolved, even if we are willing to coordinate, other countries will definitely not agree."
Gordon and Butu exchanged a glance. Jiang Ningyue's meaning was simple: a new presidential election was necessary. At the very least, Palmer, who had started the war, could no longer lead Nisi.
Hearing this, Gordon and Butu were not surprised.
"Don't worry, we will solve this matter immediately after we return."
Jiang Ningyue nodded slightly.
Commissioner Zhou then spoke up, "Mr. Gordon, Mr. Butu, we at Dongda are very willing to be the messengers of peace in Southeast Asia. I hope you will consider this carefully when you return."
"Don't worry."
Gordon and Butu got up and left.
Unbeknownst to them, the Southeast Asian countries' "inclination" had reached its maximum during this period. Jiang Ningyue had already turned her attention to Nisi, whose inclination was also rapidly increasing.
After all, the influence of the University of Tokyo in the entire Southeast Asia has reached a peak that is difficult for ordinary countries to achieve.
——
On May 19, 1943, leaders and representatives from Southeast Asian countries gathered in Qiongzhou, Dongda, to discuss the armistice agreement in detail.
The negotiation process this time was not very smooth.
If you think about it, you will understand that countries like Myanmar and South Vietnam have paid so much, they can’t really be wholeheartedly for Malaysia, right?
Will they let go unless we cut off some pieces of flesh from the Nisi Kingdom?
Obviously impossible.
And Nepal also has to fight for its own national interests.
"Bang!"
Pashan slammed the table and pointed at the current President of Nepal, Gordon, and said, "If you don't agree to our terms, we will discuss compensation in your capital in three months!"
Gordon's face looked extremely unhappy. A weak country has no diplomacy.
If you can't get it on the battlefield, don't even think about getting it at the negotiating table.
Similarly, what cannot be defended on the battlefield cannot be defended at the negotiating table.
In fact, Gordon had already thought about the preparations for blackmail, but he didn't expect that the countries would really ask for exorbitant prices. This is not "cutting meat", this is "dividing up"!
"Mr. Pashan, don't get excited. Aren't we negotiating?"
"There's no need to talk anymore."
Pashan sneered, "I'm glad you've expelled the puppet president backed by the United States. But now tell me, how can you resist the attack of our coalition forces?"
Without the support of the United States, Nepal has completely become a rootless duckweed.
Of course, doesn't America also want to "suck the marrow out of the bones"?
Gordon smiled and replied, "We still have 500,000 soldiers who will protect our homeland to the last drop of their blood."
"Okay, see you on the battlefield!"
Pashan immediately stood up and prepared to leave.
At this moment, the door opened and Jiang Ningyue walked in.
She looked at Prashant in confusion, "Where are you going?"
Pashan immediately put on a smile and said, "Minister Jiang, I heard you were coming. Aren't we going to greet you?"
"Oh, President Pashan is so polite."
Jiang Ningyue smiled and waved her hand, then looked at the leaders of various countries at the conference table.
When leaders of various countries saw Jiang Ningyue, they all stood up in unison.
Gordon seemed to have found his backbone, like a student complaining to his teacher, "Minister Jiang, you have to make the decision for us! Their armistice agreement is too much. If I sign it, I will be infamous forever! This is not just about ceding territory and paying compensation, losing sovereignty and humiliating my country. This is the voluntary dismemberment of my own country!"
Jiang Ningyue walked towards the conference table, and everyone immediately gave up their seats. Jiang Ningyue looked at the messy pattern on the map and frowned, "What is this? It looks like a ghost painting."
Pashan waved his hand and someone immediately took out a new map. Pashan took out a pen and explained it.
"Minister, please see. These three large islands and their affiliated islands serve as compensation for our coalition forces, along with your country's 'mediation fee.' That's not excessive, is it?"
Gordon immediately complained, "Your Excellency, our Nation of Nisi only has five large islands. They want to take three at once. Isn't that too much?"
Jiang Ningyue frowned slightly, "Three islands is indeed a bit excessive."
A smile immediately appeared on Gordon's face, and Jiang Ningyue said again: "Reduce one, or two islands."
Jiang Ningyue casually drew a picture and said, "Let's just take these two."
These two islands are the Old Port Province and Katang Island, which is adjacent to East Malaysia. Among the two islands, the Old Port Province has been occupied by the coalition forces, and the garrison on Katang Island has also been "encircled". If the coalition forces want, they can swallow it up at any time.
So, it is not too much to ask for these two islands.
In addition to these two islands, the ownership of the remaining affiliated islands and the islands that control important transportation routes and throat areas also need to be discussed again.
Gordon wanted to say something, but Jiang Ningyue smiled and said, "Of course, this matter has nothing to do with me. I just said it casually."
Hearing Jiang Ningyue's words, Gordon was afraid that Jiang Ningyue would regret it, so he immediately said, "Minister Jiang's words are very pertinent. Let's follow your arrangements."
After saying that, Gordon looked at Pashan and the others and found that they were looking at each other, but no one objected.
Jiang Ningyue continued, "Cession is too harsh. How about a 'democracy survey' and have these towns and cities 'voluntarily' vote to join the democratic community."
