Chapter 2283: Wild Idea
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
He was not blindly strong and always maintained a good relations.h.i.+p with his negotiating opponents. This was a point that had to be remembered in diplomatic negotiations.
The deputy commander raised his hand to wipe away his sweat. In his heart, he was cursing the old government. He felt that it was not appropriate for him to come over. There was no way to convince the Chinese amba.s.sador to turn a blind eye to the flames of war in his country.
Before he set off, one of the leaders of the new regiment told him in a very disdainful tone, “China has always been weak. As long as our att.i.tude is firm, they’ll endure it unconditionally as before! You can tell them directly that our artillery fire may accidentally fall into China’s territory, but we don’t mean to offend them. Please remind China to first evacuate the Chinese residents at the border who may be affected by artillery fire to safety.
“China has always been a weak diplomatic party. The attack on the public house last year was resolved by just saying that it was an ‘accidental bombing.’ No matter how angry China is, they can only suppress the anger in their heart.
“China insists on governing the country peacefully. They don’t want the two countries to go to war as it’ll bring down their economy that has finally risen. They don’t want to return to an era where they can’t even eat their fill. In the face of artillery fire that accidentally entered their borders, China can only choose to endure.”
!!
When the deputy commander thought of what this leader had said, he had already cursed this leader countless times in his heart, ‘What nonsense! How is China the same as before?!’
Even so, he was influenced by the words and thought the same before he came. He thought that they only needed to say a few words to tell the Chinese amba.s.sador that they would not violate their land and that the matter would be resolved.
Unexpectedly, the Chinese amba.s.sador’s att.i.tude was firm, and his calmness made him wonder if the other party had… already made arrangements.
Everyone wanted to rule the country peacefully. No one wanted war. Everyone was afraid that a war would cause the country to fall behind, let alone internal strife.
Once other countries suddenly interfered, it would not just be internal strife anymore!
With China’s display of strength, the deputy commander knew that the new regiment leader’s plan had failed. It was impossible to move the flames of war out and protect the city from destruction!
It was wishful thinking!
“Amba.s.sador, we’re indeed very sincere. We only hope that China will continue to maintain their original att.i.tude of just watching from the side. We really don’t need anything special from your side.” The deputy commander of the 2nd Special Zone, who also had a heavy responsibility, could not help but lower his att.i.tude a little. “Our 2nd Special Zone Allied Forces has always been pro-China. That’s why I took the risk of being a.s.sa.s.sinated by the old regime tonight to communicate with the Chinese side in advance. I hope you can consider our proposal.”
‘Consider your proposal?’
The corners of Qin Xiu’s mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. The color of his black eyes deepened as he smiled. It was close to darkness, but it contained a hint of sharpness. “Your country chose to go against the law, but you still want our country to continue to abide by the peace treaty. There’s a saying in our country, ‘Only officials are allowed to light fires, but not the common people.’ It can be used to describe your country’s current actions.
“Our country has always adhered to the policy of peace. Our country is benevolent and does not like to destroy the friends.h.i.+p between the two countries. However, this does not mean that our country is giving in. I hope that your country will not regard our country’s att.i.tude as giving in.
“The flames of war have already risen and spread to the borders of our country. It’s just your country’s imagination if you’re thinking of asking us to continue to watch from the sidelines. Our land is sacred and inviolable. This is our country’s only stance. It’s getting late. Deputy Commander, you should go back as soon as possible and relay our country’s stance to your country’s leaders.”
