Chapter 127 Negotiations between Two Countries
The supreme commander of Dongyang Kingdom in Kalimantan Island soon received orders from His Majesty the Emperor.
The commander was very confused and puzzled by this sudden order.
He really couldn't understand why they should negotiate with Yan Country?
Could it be possible that a powerful country like the Dongyang Empire would be afraid of the tiny Yan Kingdom?
Although he was full of doubts, as a soldier he knew that he must absolutely obey the orders of His Majesty the Emperor.
So he immediately arranged for people to go to the oil fields in Sabah to find the commander of the armored division.
When the division commander was found, he expressed the hope that the two countries could negotiate.
After hearing Dongyang State's request for negotiations, Division Commander Zhao Xuannan quickly sent a telegram back to the country to report the situation to the Minister of the Army.
After receiving the telegram, the Minister of the Army passed the message to Qin Ruihua.
Qin Ruihua simply responded to this news with one sentence: "You will be fully responsible for handling this matter."
At the same time, he made it clear that their Yan country not only needed the oil fields in Sabah, but also wanted to own the entire west coast of Sabah.
This is their country's bottom line if these conditions cannot be met.
Then they do not rule out the possibility of occupying the entire island of Kalimantan.
After receiving a call back from home, Division Commander Zhao Xuannan formally conveyed the message to the commander of Dongyang State.
Said the two countries could start negotiations.
The time for the negotiations was set for two days later, and the location was chosen to be the Sabah oil field.
Time quickly came to two days later, and the meeting between Dongyang and Yan officially began.
Representatives from both sides sat on either side of the long table, and the atmosphere was tense and serious.
The commander of Dongyang State came straight to the point: "Your country has occupied our oil fields without any reason. Aren't you afraid that it will get out and be ridiculed by other countries?"
Division Commander Zhao Xuan replied: "What a joke! When did the oil fields in Sabah belong to your Dongyang country?"
"You should know that it was our Yan country's citizens who first discovered this oil field."
"As long as the oil fields are discovered by our citizens, they belong to our country."
The commander of Dongyang State sneered: "You are just making up stories."
"Our survey team has never found your citizens in this oil field. If you want to find an excuse, find a better one."
Zhao Xuannan refuted without showing any weakness: "Then what evidence do you have to prove that it was discovered by your survey team?"
The commander of Dongyang State smiled proudly and said, "Of course we have investigation evidence and various other evidences."
After saying that, he placed a pile of evidence on the table so that the representatives of Yan Country could see it clearly.
Division Commander Zhao Xuannan glanced at the so-called evidence with disdain, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Based on your so-called evidence, I can fabricate a lot of it anytime and anywhere."
The commander of the Dongyang Kingdom on the other side was so angry that his face turned red when he heard this. He pointed at Zhao Xuannan angrily and shouted, "You are really making up stories!"
"There was solid evidence right in front of them, but they turned a blind eye."
Zhao Xuannan shrugged his shoulders and responded lightly: "I've already said that it's easy for me to produce this evidence."
The commander took a deep breath, tried to suppress his anger, and warned seriously: "I hope your country can return the oil fields to our country as soon as possible and withdraw the troops from Kalimantan Island."
"For this incident, our country can pretend that it never happened, but if your country continues to be obsessed with it."
"Our country will have to consider more drastic measures, possibly even declaring war."
Zhao Xuannan sneered and responded fearlessly: "Stop trying to scare people here!"
"If Dongyang Kingdom really had the guts to declare war, it would have done it long ago. Why wait until today?"
“First, we will never return the oil fields; second, we want not only the oil fields, but also the entire west coast of Sabah.”
"This is our country's bottom line. If our demands are not met, we will consider directly occupying the entire island of Kalimantan."
The commander was furious and cursed with gnashing teeth: "You shameless bandits are simply greedy and want too much!"
Division Commander Zhao Xuan murmured in response: "Bandit?"
"We are all the same. At least we did not commit atrocities such as burning, killing, and looting."
"Compared to you beasts, we are kind!"
The commander of Dongyang State pointed at Zhao Xuan angrily and murmured: "You..."
Zhao Xuannan interrupted him with a sneer: "What do you mean?"
"Am I wrong? Look at what you have done in the Great State."
“And what have you done to the indigenous people on Kalimantan?”
The commander of Dongyang State was silent for a moment and then said: "No matter what, our country will never agree to the conditions you just proposed."
Zhao Xuannan responded without hesitation: "If you don't agree, then we can just go to war and spread the war to your homeland."
When the commander of Dongyang State heard this, he was immediately frightened.
Because he just wanted to bluff at the beginning. After all, negotiation is to gain the greatest benefit.
"Let me think about it."
Zhao Xuannan replied coldly: "It's up to you, I'll only give you two days."
"Here, let's see the guests off!"
The soldiers responded in unison: "Yes!"
Afterwards, they "invited" the commander of Dongyang State to leave the tent.
The commander of Dongyang State returned to the headquarters with a gloomy face, his heart filled with anger and unwillingness.
As soon as he entered the door, he ordered several local indigenous women to be captured, and then vented his emotions wildly.
At the same time, he immediately conveyed the news to the base camp, letting them know how excessive Yan Country’s demands were.
After receiving the report, the Emperor's face turned extremely ugly.
He didn't expect that Yan State was so greedy. Not only did it want the oil fields, it also attempted to occupy the entire west coast!
However, facing the powerful Yan State army, Dongyang State was helpless at this time.
In the end, he had no choice but to agree to the harsh conditions proposed by Yan State.
After receiving the reply from the headquarters, the commander of Dongyang State calmed down a little, but still felt a little unwilling.
Not long after, he found the division commander Zhao Xuannan again, expressed his agreement to the conditions proposed by Yan State, and promised to complete all handover work within a week.
Commander Zhao Xuannan didn't have much opinion on this.
After all, Yan State now has an absolute advantage and there is no need to be too polite to Dongyang State.
Moreover, he believed that there must be other reasons why Dongyang Kingdom compromised so quickly.
However, just as the two sides were preparing for the handover, the Dongyang Kingdom suddenly vented all its anger on the indigenous people of the west coast.
They launched an inhumane campaign of burning, killing and looting, trying to leave Yan Kingdom with nothing.
The Yan State does not care about this situation.
Because those indigenous residents are not citizens of Yan Country, their life and death have nothing to do with Yan Country.
The Yan people only care about whether their own interests and goals can be achieved.
In this way, Yan State successfully occupied the west coast and oil fields of Sabah State on the island of Kalimantan.
This victory boosted the morale of the Yan State, but it also aroused dissatisfaction and vigilance from the Dongyang State.
However, Dongyang State was unable to take effective countermeasures against Yan State.
Because they are about to implement a full-scale invasion plan of the Great State.
If a conflict occurs with Yan State at this time, it will distract their energy and resources and have an adverse impact on their strategic layout.
Therefore, the Dongyang State had no choice but to swallow its anger and regard this matter as a helpless act.
