Chapter 2289: Imposing
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
There was nothing to fear about China. Commander Relira was backed by a Western hegemonic country, so there was no need to fear a country with little international status!
Moreover, the new government was now in charge of the country. Foreign diplomacy was naturally handled by the new government. If anything happened, the new government would bear the responsibility. It had nothing to do with Commander Relila.
Should the Chinese side really not cooperate? Heh… With Commander Relila’s methods, the Chinese amba.s.sador could forget about leaving easily.
The disapproval of the negotiator from the old regime infuriated the negotiator from the allied forces. “One minute to seven. If you don’t appear, this negotiation will be sc.r.a.pped!”
“If Commander Relila doesn’t stop the negotiation, no one else can stop it! Tell the Chinese amba.s.sador that I will arrive on time at 7:20. Since you want to cooperate with the old regime, now is the time to show your sincerity.” The tone of the negotiator from the old regime was tough. After he finished speaking, he ended the communication.
!!
The amba.s.sador of the allied forces, who had been hung up on, was offended. His face alternated between green and white, and there was very visible anger in his eyes. Seeing that less than a minute had pa.s.sed, he could only jog back to the meeting.
It was 40 seconds to seven. J5 looked down at the changing numbers of time while keeping in touch with the country. “No one from Commander Relila’s side has shown up. Our military exercises…”
The numbers counted down. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two… J5’s deep voice suddenly sounded like a sword being drawn from a scabbard. With a murderous ferocity, he said, “…will begin!”
At seven o’clock sharp, if any one of the parties did not appear on time, the Chinese soldiers’ exercise would immediately begin.
China had always been benevolent, especially in the international community, where they had never done anything to jeopardize the friends.h.i.+p between countries. China had abided by international treaties, never violated the provisions of treaties, and had made all-around bans and prohibitions in order to promote world peace and development.
However, Lin Country and other countries interpreted this att.i.tude as forbearance, concession, and timidity. Lin Country’s mortar that fell into China’s territory was actually a test to see which step China would take.
Qin Xiu would not allow Lin Country to continue probing. The Chinese side would not allow such probing with contempt. Ye Jian and V8 received Qin Xiu’s orders and immediately made preparations.
In an imposing manner, Qin Xiu stood up and said coldly to the negotiator from the new regime. “I’m sorry, but the time is up. Our negotiation has failed. Commander Relila doesn’t want to make an effort to stabilize the border situation between the two countries. I’m very sorry. I hope your country can resolve the internal problems for the time being and not endanger our border.”
“Please hold on, Mr. Amba.s.sador!!” The face of the amba.s.sador from the new regime, who was hoping that luck was on their side, suddenly changed drastically when he saw this. The staff member he had sent out to seek instructions from the higher-ups had not returned, but the Chinese amba.s.sador was really leaving without even stopping for a minute!
“Mr. Amba.s.sador!” The amba.s.sador of the allied forces pushed through the door. He looked troubled as he suppressed his anger. “Mr. Amba.s.sador, please wait another 20 minutes,” he said sincerely. “The representative sent by Commander Relila will be here soon. Please wait another 20 minutes, Mr. Amba.s.sador. Why don’t we go to the banquet room and have a gla.s.s of champagne first?”
When the two sides saw Qin Xiu really standing up to leave, the amba.s.sador of the new regime couldn’t help but stand up.
They did not expect the Chinese side to suddenly sweep away their previous concessions and become especially domineering. For a moment, they panicked. One of them went around the conference table and hurriedly walked over, while the other stood at the door and tried to persuade Qin Xiu to stay.
