Blackstone Code

Logically speaking, on the day Gafra fell, the Gafra royal regime had already fallen.

It is no longer a sound, meaningful "state"; it has perished and been annexed.

But the problem is that the federation recognized the legitimacy of Ghafra's government-in-exile, which indirectly led to half of the world recognizing the legitimacy of Ghafra's government-in-exile.

Now that the war is over, Gaevra has not yet "died" and has successfully gotten a chance to stand up.

If it were not for the sake of the federal people, Pengeo's diplomatic delegation would not even want to participate in this negotiation!

But now that it's here, it means they have no choice but to admit it.

The federal government has not withdrawn its troops. They have only transferred disabled soldiers back to the country. The main army is still stationed less than 700 kilometers away from the imperial capital.

For the Pengeo Imperial Government, which has almost exhausted its war potential, this is equivalent to the Federation's knife being placed on its neck.

It has no ability to resist anything.

The foreign minister in Pengeo's delegation seemed unfriendly and somewhat sinister.

He has a pair of blue-grey eyes and a terrifying hooked nose.

When there is no expression on the face, it can make children cry.

"With all due respect, none of your requests are reasonable!"

"When we occupied the entire territory of Gefra, the wealth we obtained came from war compensation from the Queen and the Minister of War, not from looted wealth."

"And starting from that time, our war with Gaevra has ended and all diplomatic rights have been handed over."

"It has no direct relationship with the war and its results in our homeland."

"Even if we are willing to withdraw our troops from Ghafra, it is not because of any obligations between us and Ghafra."

"Our withdrawal is only a process to end the global war, not a result!"

In the armistice agreement negotiated with the federal government, the Pengeo Imperial Government admitted the failure of the war and withdrew troops from all battlefields around the world to ensure that no war would break out again.

This includes the Amelia Front Army, and naturally also includes the troops performing military operations on Gefra Island.

As the nobleman with the highest title besides the emperor, Lynch naturally needs to bear some responsibilities.

"You are mistaken about a concept, Mr. Envoy."

The hooked nose turned to look at Lynch, and he immediately protested with some dissatisfaction.

"I know this person, he is a federal person, this is a negotiation between us and Gaevra, why is there a federal person here?"

"Even if we lose the war, it doesn't mean we are willing to accept such humiliation!"

"Anyone can sit across from us and ask us to do this or that in a frivolous and unrealistic way!"

"Please kick him out!"

Queen Feline's face turned a little pale, and her suddenly aquiline nose was indeed very powerful.

As the foreign minister of a large and at least once powerful empire, his aura was far beyond what Queen Feline, who had never presided over state affairs, could contend with.

At the moment when he seemed angry, Queen Feline forgot to breathe!

Afraid that the other party would rush over and hurt her!

But Lynch is not Queen Feline.

The aquiline nose's aura was just a breeze to Lynch.

He once stood under the gaze of everyone as a loser and a judge, and spoke eloquently in the face of aggressive interrogation, appearing to be at ease and without the slightest fear!

The people in front of me, with their aquiline noses, were a little worse than those in such a scene.

He watched the other party get angry before revealing his identity.

"First of all, I am the prince of the Gefra Empire."

"Secondly, the federal government does not deny dual or multiple citizenship."

"In other words, I legitimately and legally hold the nationality of two countries at the same time. When I attend different occasions and when necessary, I will represent different identities."

"What you see now is the Prince of the Gefra Empire, not a businessman from the Federation."

"I regret your shallowness and ignorance. This is a lofty international political stage. Please pay attention to your words and deeds."

"You represent not only yourself, but also the country behind you!"

There were cameras and reporters at the scene. The reporters were asked not to speak, but they were still cheering for Lynch in their hearts!

In fact, to them, and to the federal people who are about to see this scene, Lynch is Lynch!

His powerful counterattack against Foreign Minister Pengeo will make people develop more identification with the Federation from the inside out!

This is just like the people in fairy tales voluntarily kneeling at the feet of the hero and swearing to follow him to the death!

Lynch can be seen as a symbol of the free spirit of the Federation, a representative of unyielding, and a cry of anger against the old stubborn forces!

Queen Feline's eyes changed slightly when she looked at Lynch, and the other nobles seemed to puff up their chests.

His words were well-founded and he also criticized the other party's ignorance and despicability. It was so refreshing!

The hooked nose did not continue to look angry or annoyed at all, but calmed down, and he even smiled a little.

"That's it. I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I didn't know that the federal laws were so lax."

"In Pengeo, we don't allow anyone to betray our country. Unexpectedly, here, these are openly allowed and recognized..."

Lynch was still personable at this time, not impatient, and without any unnecessary emotions.

He kept smiling, as if he was chatting cordially with the other person!

"Your parents gave you life, but you offered your loyalty to a brutal dictator."

"Your society teaches you to learn truth, goodness and beauty, but you spread disaster to the world for your monarch!"

"The god you believe in gave you a beautiful soul, but you made more people fall into hell."

"You betrayed your parents, betrayed the knowledge you learned, and betrayed the gods you believed in."

"Although I have multiple nationalities, I love peace. I am different from you."

"I love what I love, but you only know how to destroy and quibble!"

"I heard that after death, quibblers go to hell and have their tongues cut out."

Someone at the scene laughed softly. The two were obviously cursing each other, but it was the first time that they cursed in such a civilized manner.

At the same time, they also have a new understanding of international politics and negotiations.

The two parties greeted each other's families cordially and friendly, and Lynch was not afraid of this at all.

He maintained his grace and was not at a disadvantage in the slightest.

In the end, Hook Nose himself became a little impatient, but of course he didn't show it.

He interrupted Lynch after he greeted his parents again and asked if his parents had ever expressed regret for not using birth control.

"Okay, Your Majesty the Prince, let us say what we need to say!"

Lin Qi nodded slightly and agreed. Anyway, wasting time is also part of the negotiation process.

Everyone is testing each other's bottom line, and exploring each other's nervous or sensitive G-spot step by step.

The hooked nose said at this time, "I don't quite understand the compensation you proposed. I don't know how you calculated this number."

"But I think it strays too far from reality..."

In the negotiation request submitted by Queen Feline, the Penteo government should compensate for supplies worth 35 billion federal soles.

Among them, the cash will not be less than 10 billion, and the materials will not be less than 25 billion.

"We will pay you a maximum compensation of 10 billion in cash and various materials, of which we are temporarily unable to pay the cash part."

"In addition, I just received the news today that the Marquis... who was appointed Governor of Gefra, had absconded last night with some high-ranking military officers."

"Currently we don't know where they are going, so we can't hand them over to you."

"If you have to get these people, then I suggest you do it yourself."

"On behalf of His Majesty the Imperial Emperor, I hope you can catch those people and give them the necessary trial..."

He refuses to admit his fault, talks nonsense, cheats, and has no grace at the negotiation table when it comes to interests!

The next step is to clarify the facts and make demands one by one.

Lynch does not need to speak out about these contents, there are dedicated people in charge.

In fact, many data are untrue. For example, Gaevra stated that nearly one million civilians were massacred.

The real situation is not so much. Many people hid in the wild after the fall of Gefra.

When making statistics, these people are naturally counted as "deaths". After all, each death represents a death compensation payment to the Gevra government!

There are also many lists of the wealth that was looted from Gevra, including the royal treasures stolen by the Minister of War.

No one knows where those things went anyway, and now that someone can take the blame, why not list them!

Staff from both sides argued endlessly over whether each specific item and value was reasonable.

Time was wasted bit by bit in the wrangling, and Lin Qi calmly squeezed Queen Feline.

He wanted to pinch the Queen's finger, but unexpectedly pinched her leg.

Fortunately, Queen Feilin herself didn't care very much and stood up suddenly at this time.

Although she is still very young, young enough to use the word immature, the aura she displays already has potential power!

"That's enough. We are here to negotiate, not to argue about one dollar or two. When you are ready to really talk to us, we will agree on a time!"

After saying that, she left without looking back.

Then Lynch also stood up, tidied up the documents scattered on the table, and glanced at the unaffected aquiline nose sitting opposite him.

"To admit defeat happily is what a big country should look like. Your performance has disappointed everyone."

"I never thought that the Pengeo Empire would send a group of rogues to negotiate. This is beyond everyone's expectations!"

"I hope that when we meet next time, you will look like a person, if not a gentleman!"

"Goodbye, ladies and gentlemen!"

Lin Qi packed up his things, turned around and left...
