Blackstone Code

In the study, Gevra's finance minister and Mr. Herbers sat across from each other, neither of them speaking.

This room is filled with a very special atmosphere, an atmosphere that can only be infused with wealth, status, and power as materials, a noble atmosphere, and an expensive atmosphere.

Expensive, this is not a misplaced word. The life of aristocrats is difficult for people to imagine. The wealth accumulated by these families over hundreds of years is itself a huge and astonishing figure.

This wealth allows them to live a very exquisite life, so exquisite that every detail in their life that cannot be more subtle has an expensive atmosphere.

Just look for a picture frame, and the oil painting hanging inside may be the work of a certain master in his peak period, and its value is astonishing.

Pull out a manuscript from the bookshelf at random, and as soon as you open the cover, you may see a series of historical celebrities signing their names on the cover to show that they have read the book.

Even the carpet that Mr. Herbers stepped on at this time had a price that ordinary people could not imagine.

This was the most angry yet helpless moment in Mr. Herbers's history. He was not just frustrated.

The finance minister looked at him, pursed his lips and said "Huh", and then said with a half-smile, "It's still about what happened last time, right?"

The last time Mr. Herbers met with him, they talked about Lynch’s bonds. At first, the Chancellor didn’t realize what was happening. Later, he thought of the dispute between Mr. Herbers and Lynch. Gambling agreement, thus guessing some insider information.

For example, the "gambling" method in this gambling agreement is when the bonds pledged by Lynch can be redeemed.

Mr. Herbers has expressed his sincerity many times, and the empire is indeed not suitable to release too much reserves in the near future, so he completed the matter easily.

Now, things seem to have changed a bit,

Mr. Herbers nodded, "Yes, I implore you!"

The Chancellor leaned back and sighed. His eyes kept moving on Mr. Herbers, and finally he nodded noncommittally, "I will try my best to help you, but you must also be mentally prepared. The will of the emperor overrides my personal supremacy. If he changes his mind and becomes determined, even if you place all the treasures in the world in front of me, I will not be able to change the outcome."

"Of course, I understand..."

After ending this conversation, Mr. Herbers quickly left the Chancellor's mansion. He had done his best to do these things. All that was left was to pray that the gods would not abandon him.

Two days later, the business negotiations between the Federation and Gefra were almost completed. To be honest, neither the Gefra people, the Federation people, nor people from other countries expected that the negotiations would go so smoothly.

Both parties hardly wasted much time and energy on all negotiation items, and neither party showed strong aggression during the negotiation process, and there were not even many instances of banging the table.

This may be the most typical, standard, and standardized negotiation case, and may be written into some diplomatic books or world history.

This negotiation fully reflects the core of negotiation - working towards the same goal and constantly making appropriate concessions to ultimately achieve a result acceptable to both parties.

Everyone did not insist too much on their own ideas and requirements. Through quick and friendly testing, they quickly found solutions. Projects were quickly reached agreement. Some federal businessmen also began to prepare to participate in the bidding meeting held by the Gevra Empire government.

At such a time, Emperor Gaevra wanted to see Lynch.

"This request...have you done something that I don't know about?" On the way to the palace with Lynch, the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs asked this question in a low voice.

The Gefra people are proud, and so is their emperor. A proud emperor will not easily ask to summon a foreign envoy unless there is something that requires him to do so.

This is what the diplomatic envoy is curious about, "You can simply tell me so that I can write the materials when you go back. Otherwise, the people from the Security Committee will make trouble for you after you go back."

For example, Emperor Gaevra summoning diplomats from other countries alone is not a simple matter in any country. The Security Committee must review it and let Lynch talk about the purpose of the emperor summoning him, what they talked about, and This is used as one of the factors in the assessment to determine whether Lynch is likely to betray the country's interests.

There are no small things in diplomacy. Regardless of how advanced technology is today, in fact, many times if a country wants to understand another country, it still has to understand it through "people".

All countries will hide key information in any form of external propaganda. If people really believed whatever they said, the world would have been unified long ago.

When the Federation attacked Nagaril, they also bribed their diplomatic ambassadors with coercion and inducement, and used the diplomatic ambassadors to convey some incorrect information to their country. Together with the efforts of other parties, it finally contributed to the current situation.

But Lynch was not very worried, "Mr. President knows about this, I won't have any trouble, but I still appreciate your concern, sir."

The two of them stopped talking outside the palace. The deputy commander looked at the same splendid palace, his eyes exuding a different kind of brilliance.

A few years ago, the people of the Federation were not confident that they were no match for the Gaevra people. They even felt that they were no match for most countries in the world. The people were content with enjoying themselves and were greedy for life and fear of death. At that time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was like a A doormat is like a decoration.

Most of the participating countries at the time could ask the federation to do more in terms of diplomacy, such as asking the federation to provide ports for the king's warships to dock, for example, asking the federation to export some valuable raw materials, such as intercepting merchant ships coming and going from the federation, or even Loot.

That people are afraid of war and avoid reality.

But now, all this has changed. They can stand on the territory of the Gefra people and ask the Gefra people to agree to their diplomatic requirements without losing their bottom line. They can also stand here, the core of this country. At the heart of the city, you can take a close look at the center of power in this country.

"I will wait for you here. If anything happens, remember to be patient first and don't put yourself in a dangerous situation!" He patiently talked about these matters with Lin Qi, although he knew very well that Lin Qi knew , may not know less than him.

But whenever he sees Lynch's young face, he always has the urge to tell him. Youth is Lynch's greatest asset, and it may also be his least controllable side.

"Don't worry, I know what to do!" After that, he walked into the palace with his head held high, led by the Gefra people, until his back completely disappeared.

More than ten minutes later, Lynch met the emperor of Gaevra.

This was the second time Lin Qi saw the emperor. They had met once before when they first arrived here, but the meeting ended quickly, and it was not as close as this time.

The emperor of Gefra looks very young, about forty or fifty years old. His face is a little rosy, but this kind of rosy is not ordinary rosy, the kind of white and red rosy. His whole face has a red hair. A bright feeling is a sign of high blood pressure.

"You are very courageous!" Emperor Gefra looked at Lynch, without much of a smile on his face. His identity and profession allowed him to always display a kind of majesty that ordinary people could not match.

At this time, he was sitting slightly higher than where Lynch was standing, which allowed him to look at Lynch with a slightly overlooking feeling, "You are not like a federal person. I heard that the federal people are more courageous than the tip of a needle." Be small, I’ve seen it before.”

"Our warship just fired one shot, and some of your people were so scared that they peed their pants..." He couldn't help laughing, and some of the ministers around him also smiled.

Lynch was also laughing, which made the emperor feel even more amused, "It seems you agree with me?"

Lynch shook his head at this time, "No, I was thinking about a previous naval battle. The so-called invincible fleet was almost wiped out. If they hadn't temporarily transferred some ships, people might only see those things in history books in the future. serial number."

"Now those who should be thanking God for not letting them lose face are laughing at the victors for psychological comfort, which I find ridiculous."

The laughter in the room suddenly stopped, and the emperor's expression became full of danger. He felt uncomfortable all over, and his temples bulged with every heartbeat.

"You're very brave!"

Lin Qi bowed slightly and said, "You have already praised me like this once!"

The emperor wanted to say something, but Lynch did not give him a chance to speak. Instead, he continued, "I am here hoping that we can solve some of each other's troubles, rather than show off your so-called imperial style."

"Gentlemen, please note that the Federation is not afraid of anyone now. We will not use force to press people's heads to force them to bow their heads. However, when facing challenges and threats, we will not give up using force to defend our country. right."

"If you want to find me, threaten and ridicule me for fun, I suggest that we don't waste each other's time."

"Instead of watching me make a fool of myself here, it's better to think about how to solve the problems in Amelia!"

"That's the more meaningful thing!"

Lin Qi's neither humbleness nor arrogance, coupled with some sharp words, made the emperor very angry. At the same time, he was also extremely rational. Anyone who was not a fool would know that what Lin Qi said was correct.

Although the emperor did not like Lynch, he still agreed with his views.

"I heard someone said that you claim to be able to solve the problems in Amelia. I'm curious, how do you solve them?"
