Chapter 159 Negotiation Completed
The night enveloped the earth. Xu Ling sat on the sofa with a frown on his face, thinking about this question in his mind.
At this time, an official came in. He saw Xu Ling's worry and said, "I think there is nothing wrong with the conditions proposed by Dongyang State."
"If two armored divisions can't even defeat the army of Dongyang Kingdom."
"That only shows that they are a bunch of useless people. There is no need to invest in them anymore."
"I believe His Majesty will agree to this condition."
Xu Ling sighed, shook his head and said, "What I'm worried about is not that simple."
"I don't know which division the Dongyang Kingdom sent this time?"
"You know, Dongyang Country copied our Yan-2 and Yan-4 tanks. Although they are imitations, their performance is not much different."
"The two armored divisions of the National Protection Army are composed of a bunch of miscellaneous soldiers, but now they are all arrogant and self-righteous, thinking that they are invincible."
"In this case, the outcome is unpredictable!"
After hearing this, the official nodded in agreement: "Sir, you are absolutely right."
"But no matter what the result is, we will not suffer any loss."
Xu Ling pondered for a moment, and finally decided: "Forget it, let me take charge of this matter."
The official replied: "As you command, I will take my leave."
After saying that, he turned and left here.
The next day, the meeting was held again.
Mitsuhiro Nakamura sat in the conference room, looking at Xu Ling across from him with a smile on his face: "Mr. Xu, what do you think?"
Xu Ling replied expressionlessly: "I wonder which division your country sent?"
Nakamura Mitsuhiro narrowed his eyes, revealing a cunning look, and said with a smile: "This is confidential. We can't possibly tell your country our trump card, right?"
Xu Ling crossed his arms, sneered and said, "If you don't say it, there's nothing to talk about."
Nakamura Mitsuhiro's face changed, and he quickly said, "Okay, Mr. Xu, we are sending the Fifth Division."
When Xu Ling heard this, a flash of surprise flashed across his eyes, then he regained his composure and continued to ask, "Fifth Division?"
"Your country sent out the Fifth Division, one of the five most powerful armies. I really underestimated you!"
"This division is equipped with more than a hundred knockoff versions of the Flame II and Flame IV tanks, right?"
Nakamura Mitsuhiro showed embarrassment on his face, but he still said, "Mr. Xu, there are indeed more than 100 cars. As for what is a copycat?"
"I don't understand what you mean. These are the Type 2 and Type 4 tanks independently developed by our country. They have nothing to do with your country's tanks."
Xu Ling smiled secretly in his heart, knowing that the other party was quibbling, but he didn't want to expose them.
He said calmly: "It doesn't matter. I agree to your request and let the two armies fight one-on-one."
Nakamura Mitsuhiro was overjoyed, and he quickly stood up, bowed respectfully, and said, "Mr. Xu is indeed a smart man!"
"In that case, the two sides will go to war in a week. Goodbye!"
After saying that, Mitsuhiro Nakamura led the others out of the meeting room.
After Xu Ling watched the other party leave, he secretly pondered the current difficulties faced by the National Protection Army.
Although the National Protection Army had 300 tanks, the Fifth Division was equipped with more than 100 copycat tanks.
Although the National Defense Army was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, its firepower was stronger than that of the Dongyang troops on the island.
Therefore, even with the addition of the Fifth Division, the National Protection Army still has certain advantages.
Thinking of this, Xu Ling decided to report the situation to the commander of the mixed fleet as soon as possible and suggest that they stop the attack.
At the same time, he also needs to send a telegram to Qin Ruihua, detailing the current situation.
After receiving the telegram from Xu Ling, the commander of the mixed fleet thought for a moment and ordered to stop the attack.
At the same time, Shen Yingxiong was standing on the bridge, looking at the nearby Gaoshan Island, his heart full of doubts.
He really couldn't understand why the fleet hadn't launched an attack yet.
Don't they know that time is running out?
If we continue to wait, we will miss the opportunity once the Dongyang State’s joint fleet arrives!
However, Shin Yingxiong didn't know that he was just a pawn in this war.
Not long after, Qin Ruihua received a telegram from diplomat Xu, which detailed the current situation and possible consequences.
Qin Ruihua read every word carefully, thinking about the pros and cons.
Ultimately, he believed that diplomat Xu's decision was correct.
If a large-scale war can be avoided, it will be of great benefit to the country.
In addition, if the National Protection Army can successfully defeat Dongyang State, Yan State can obtain the oil resources on the island.
As for failure, it doesn’t matter, because the National Protection Army is not their country’s army anyway.
After all, the training costs and weapons and equipment are all paid for by the National Protection Army itself, so it's not a loss no matter how you calculate it.
Of course, the best outcome would be to defeat Dongyang State.
Thinking of this, Qin Ruihua felt relieved.
He immediately had the communications officer send two telegrams.
The first telegram was sent to diplomat Xu, expressing support for his decision.
The second telegram was sent to the commander of the mixed fleet, informing him to act according to the agreement.
At the same time, Dongyang State's Fifth Division was boarding a transport ship and heading towards Gaoshan Island.
The First and Second Squadrons of the Combined Fleet also rushed to the area.
Prepare to confront this fleet, which is nominally from a large state.
After receiving Qin Ruihua's telegram, the commander of the mixed fleet immediately ordered Shen Yingxiong to be brought to the flagship.
When Shen Yingxiong boarded the flagship, the commander said to him with a serious expression: "Commander Shen, you can only rely on yourselves in this war!"
When Shen Yingxiong heard this, he was stunned and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Sir, what do you mean by this?"
"According to the plan, shouldn't you help us take over Gaoshan Island?"
The commander did not answer directly, but took out a telescope and handed it to Shen Yingxiong, pointing to the sea ahead for him to observe.
Shen Yingxiong took the telescope and looked into the distance.
Soon, he saw vague warships gathering in the distance.
The commander looked at Shen Yingxiong and explained seriously: "Captain Shen, although nominally we are leasing the warship to you."
"But in fact, our first priority is to defend against the navy of Dongyang Kingdom."
"This time you will face two divisions and two brigades from Dongyang Country."
"And we will keep an eye on their navy to make sure you are not threatened from the sea."
"As for their Army Air Force, I can assure you that they will not participate in the war."
"So, please rest assured, you only need to focus on dealing with Dongyang's ground forces."
Only then did Shen Yingxiong react, with a look of sudden enlightenment on his face: "It seems that your two countries should have reached some agreement?"
The commander smiled and responded: "Commander Shen, there are some things that you cannot know. Do you lack confidence in your own army?"
"You should know that the performance and firepower of your weapons are significantly superior to those of Dongyang Nation."
Army Commander Shen frowned, and at the same time, he sounded a little disappointed: "Of course I have the confidence to defeat Dongyang Kingdom. It's just one more division."
"But what really concerns me is that your country is playing tricks in this matter, which is really unacceptable."
The commander raised his lips slightly: "General Shen, without the support of our country, how could you build such a powerful force?"
"If you don't want to continue, we can evacuate at any time."
"You can also return to the greater states, or choose to enjoy a quiet retirement life in a special administrative region of our country."
After hearing this, Commander Shen's face turned gloomy. He clenched his fists and said after a moment of silence, "Okay, okay, I finally see your true colors."
"I will go all out in this war, so when will we start?"
The commander smiled softly and replied, "In two days, the Dongyang Congress will voluntarily vacate a piece of land for you to land."
"As for the subsequent battles, you will need to rely on your own strength to deal with them."
Commander Shen nodded to show that he understood, then turned and left, leaving behind a sentence: "Okay, goodbye!"
Then he took a small boat back to the transport ship without any unnecessary movements or words.
