Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 433 433 Familiar flavors are everywhere

"Mr. Tang." The three goblins stood in front of Tang Mo, bowed their heads and greeted in a respectful tone, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Tang Mo didn't like this tone very much, it reminded him of some obscene images with mustaches on their lips and a little habit of flipping sentences when they spoke.

Although he knew that it was an image created unintentionally in the movie, the real chicken with a good life and no similar habit of speaking, but he was still full of disgust for things similar to chickens.

There is no way, this kind of resentment is a national habit, logically it should be respected, right?

Hearing this familiar sentence, which is a bit annoying to bother you, Tang Mo frowned involuntarily, and interrupted him subconsciously: "If an apology is useful, why should I build cannons?"

"Pfft..." Wes next to him couldn't hold back and almost laughed out loud.He liked this sentence. He felt that Datang Group didn't need to apologize, and he would use cannons to solve the problem if he was wronged.

From another point of view, Datang Group has never been wronged. If you spit on me, I will slap your whole family. It's fair and innocent, right?
Those standing here are not good people.

"We came here with sincerity." One of the goblins had half-green skin and looked very strange. He lowered his head and continued to explain in a low voice: "We know we were wrong."

In fact, they knew that the time when the Datang Group attacked Dongwan Island was earlier than the time when Mirage attacked the Datang Group's fleet.

But... now the truth of the outbreak of the war is not important, what is important is to end the war and get Mirage out of the current dangerous situation.

Therefore, the unanimous opinion of Mirage's top management is to take the responsibility on themselves, make themselves the party at fault, never mention anything about Dongwan Island, and let Datang Group set a price.

This kind of attitude of admitting to being short and standing at attention after being beaten is the sincerity shown by Mirage.It would be naive to say who is right now.Now the comparison is who has the biggest fist!
"So?" Tang Mo spread his hands and asked with a sneer.

If he has the ability to destroy Mirage, he will definitely take this opportunity to eat the opponent in one go.But he does not have such a large ocean-going power, so he can only compromise temporarily.

That's why he received the three goblin envoys, because he also needs peace.If he didn't nod, how could there be a mirage ship arriving in Bunas?It was sunk long ago!

Now, he is just bluffing and giving the opponent a sense of oppression.In fact, he is very willing to accept a peace treaty, a peace treaty that is beneficial to the Datang Group.

"We are willing to compensate Datang Group." The goblin in the lead bowed again, his sincere attitude moved heaven and earth.

Just looking at the appearance of these goblins, they seemed to be full of sincerity, but what they didn't know was that the more they behaved like this, the more disgusted they were in Tang Mo's eyes.

In Tang Mo's view, this is a typical craftsman spirit, and it is surprisingly similar to the nation he is familiar with - according to the popular memes he is familiar with, the content is close to 70.00%.

"This is a war to recover justice! Mr. Mirage's special envoy! The righteous side has won, and now you have admitted your mistakes...then you have to ask, has the righteous side forgiven you? .” Tang Mo looked at the envoys from various countries sitting beside him.

Then, he smiled and said to these envoys who were eager to try: "Well, tell me, how can we forgive... these mirage... cuties?"

The Mirage people were thin and short, but cunning and fierce. A Mirage deputy clenched his hands into fists when he heard Tang Mo's insulting tone of that cute joke.

On weekdays, if someone called him cute, he would even violently kill someone.But now, he really doesn't have the guts to make a mistake in this kind of place.

In the face of the big situation, Mirage was unable to parry it. Even now, he was not sure that he could defeat the man and woman standing behind Tang Mo with his bare hands.

On the other hand, the special envoys from various countries know that it is their turn to come up and make a price-this is the benefit they deserve for participating in the war, and it is also a carnival of victory.

"Open the mirage market, and exempt all commercial taxes on imported materials from various countries!" The special envoy of the Dorne Kingdom sitting beside him offered the price he was most interested in.

"Compensation for our war expenses, at least 50 gold coins for each country!" Next to the special envoy of Dorne, Tess of the Wright Kingdom followed with a compensation clause.

"Hand over all the commercial and trade routes, and ensure the safety of the exchanges between countries on the West Endless Sea!" The Yangmu Kingdom is clear about things on the sea, and there is a smell of seafood in their mouths.

"Guarantee the absolute safety of merchants from all over the world in Mirage!" the special envoy of the Pinewood Kingdom also said.

Tang Mo's mind popped up all kinds of waste paper with the names of Chinese cities and the word treaty, as if he was sitting at the embarrassing negotiation table in Nanjing and Tianjin back then.

Only this time, they were the winning side... Sure enough, once their identities changed, the feeling immediately changed.

Tang Mo even thought full of vicious humor: You said that when you were sitting in Yamaguchi County, you were talking about ceding Okinawa...Will writing a novel about Li Zhongtang's assassination and porcelain blackmailing Kyoto be a big hit?
Or... let Lao Li think about it, and then shoot himself six times, and force Ito Hirobumi to cut off Honshu Island, right?

It looks like a vegetable market in front of me, and the content of the "Treaty" is too strong, almost [-]%.It is estimated that after this war, there will definitely be a new vocabulary like semi-colonial and semi-feudal society in the textbooks.

Then count them up randomly: Well, Dorn, Suzas, Wright, Pine, Poplar, Binghan, Galles, and Nanla Empire... Exactly eight countries, triggering a certain special effect, Tang Mo's sense of guilt +1, Deterrence +1, unlock the achievement "Scars of the Old Empire"?
Daily whey, something weird seems to be added again...

Tang Mo shook his head, and drove these strange things out of his head. After everyone made the pre-agreed demands, he also put forward his own idea: "After agreeing to these terms, then compensate Datang Group's All losses, and the war . . . is over."

He didn't specify his conditions, but to the ears of the goblins, the sentence of compensating Datang Group for all losses seemed too vague, which made people nervous.

Soon, they confirmed their judgment. When a piece of information was pressed in front of them in the beautiful secluded forest, the goblins finally knew what it meant to be a lion.

For example, at this moment, the few of them looked like anxious boys who came to propose marriage.When the woman's parents proposed the number of the bride price, they had a shocked expression on their faces.

After thinking about capturing Zheng Guo and starting the road to hegemony, Tang Mo tried to analyze the problem from another angle.

This time, he was building momentum for himself and declaring war on Mirage together with the eight countries, which was actually a helpless move for him.

His warships are too few to search for all mirage ships in the endless sea to attack, so he must use the power of the navies of various countries to make up for his lack of troops.

But look at the problem from the perspective of maximizing benefits. Although the Datang Group won a big victory this time, the benefits of the war were obviously diluted by various countries.

Therefore, even if Tang Mo had the ability to destroy Mirage this time, he would not do it at this time.

What he wants is to occupy the Mirage by himself and turn it into his own territory, instead of carve up the Mirage with eight countries. This is not in the interests of the Datang Group.

"We can't afford that kind of compensation! Mr. Tang, our country is very poor..." The goblin envoys headed by them began to bargain.

The angle he cuts in is very tricky, showing the ability of mirage diplomats-during the successive years of war against Zheng, they have trained a quite skilled diplomatic team.

Compete on trade routes, and even if you win the mirage, you will not be able to hold it firmly.Their navy was severely damaged, their merchant ships were sunk by captives, and they were unable to maintain the original scale of maritime trade, so it was meaningless to fight for this.

To open up the market and ensure the safety of merchants, Mirage is also willing to pinch its nose and admit it.Anyway, they also hope to learn advanced technology through trade, and they can't wait for someone who is willing to do business and open a workshop.

Taxation is a hard nut to crack, so if it is not suitable to come up, just fight for it. The starting point is to choose compensation, which seems to be just right.

"It's okay, we can provide loans. That is to lend you money so that you can repay the indemnities of other countries." Tang Mo's sudden generosity made the goblins a little overwhelmed.

However, the country's special envoys who had received Tang Mo's loan immediately showed a smile that was not a smile.

Borrowing money from the Datang Group...isn't that easy!boy!Borrowing money is fun for a while, and paying back the money is a crematorium!What?not return?Well, brother, you can be brave. You can communicate with Poplar Kingdom on this matter, they are very experienced.

In an instant, the special envoy of the Yangmu Kingdom felt several eyes cast on him, and he was particularly uncomfortable, feeling ashamed and unbearable: What are you looking at me for?I didn't borrow the money!I'm warning you, you don't slap people in the face!Too much!Still watching?Do you want to start a war?asshole!
"We may not be able to pay back... nor the interest..." The Special Envoy of Mirage Kingdom seemed to be messing around.

In fact, they really have no money. Before, they almost spent all their savings and bought a lot of weapons and equipment from Cyric, so that they could win a huge victory in the war against Zheng.

But before they could enjoy the reward of victory, they were beaten by the Datang Group. Not to mention the robbing of Dongwan Island, the collapse of maritime trade was the heaviest loss for Mirage.

"We found a large number of corpse pits on Dongwan Island. We still have to settle the account of the massacre of civilians by the mirage goblins." Tang Mo stopped worrying about the loan, but suddenly talked about the massacre.

He looked at the three goblins with unnatural expressions, paused and continued: "You want to compensate our corresponding slaves, you won't tell me that you don't even have people?"

While talking, he picked up the Datang Group's compensation list: "We can talk about the money later, let's talk about it, let's talk about the slaves."

"We...we just finished the war, and the population is not rich." The leader of the goblin replied bitterly.

In fact, this makes it even more difficult for them: For countries in this era, population is sometimes equated with wealth, and there is almost no difference between taking away their population and dividing up their wealth.

Tang Mo smiled. He had seen all the past stalks during today's peace talks. The other party and Principal Chang were also very similar. What did you say about that comment?Principal Chang has a strange aura. If you ask him for a little bit, he won't give it even a little bit, but what if you take his big one?He doesn't want the little one anymore.

Now, Tang Mo was going to take the big one, to remind these goblins that they were still meat on the cutting board.

"Since we are so poor, let's go find something valuable by ourselves." Tang Mo picked his ears and put on an impatient look: "Gentlemen, it seems that Mirage wants to continue fighting the war... "

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! We will pay! We...we..." Mirage's special envoy softened in an instant, and they really couldn't hold on to Mirage.

If the war is over, they can resume development and recuperate, and no matter what, they can still bully Zheng Guo and get some benefits.

But if the war continues and their maritime trade remains paralyzed, then their mirage is really over.Although it will not collapse directly due to lack of food like Tarun Kingdom, it will not be much better.

As a result, the envoys of the Mirage Kingdom, who had begun to act badly, agreed in principle to the request to compensate the slaves of the Datang Group.

But in terms of quantity, they still have to bargain. Datang Group wants 30, and Mirage is willing to give 10. After negotiation and negotiation, the final transaction amount is 20...

Later, because there was no gold coin to compensate the countries, Mirage began to ask Datang Group for a loan. The mortgage was also very simple: to sell some slaves to Datang Group: 10 gold coins for a strong slave, and the price was fair.

Then Mirage discussed the total amount of compensation with various countries, and finally talked about the price to 30 gold coins for one country.So far, the total compensation of Mirage is 270 million gold coins.

In the end, Mirage had to take out another 10 slaves, and barely fulfilled the 9 gold coin compensation request from 30 countries and forces in the accounts.

Then the two sides began to discuss the issue of trade taxation. Mirage was obviously unwilling to hand over its important income. The two sides fought fiercely, and finally Mirage got back 50.00%.

The Datang Group got 5.00% of the customs duty of Mirage, and the other eight countries each got [-]%. Everyone is happy.

The rest of the matter is relatively simple. After honestly signing the contract, as the last of the four great naval powers in the old endless sea, Mirage surrendered control of the western endless sea.

Although they still retain the navy and the fleet is still huge, everyone knows that there will only be one overlord in the endless sea from now on.

And the Datang Group got everything they wanted before the war started! ——
I'm in a bad state today, I only have 4000 words, I'll post it later... sorry.
