“Report! The local ethnic militants have split up. Our ambassador and three soldiers have called. They’ve gone out of the city!”
“Alright! Keep in touch with the ambassador at all times!” When the deputy commander of the Yun Province Military Region heard this news, his tense heart relaxed a little. Now that the country was in chaos, several cities had become the focus of war!
It was always the civilians who suffered in the chaos of the country. The sound of gunfire frightened them, and the sound of artillery fire frightened them even more. The unarmed civilians did not dare to stay. If they did not want to leave their homes, they could only leave.
There was still a faint smell of blood in the car. Even after rinsing it with water several times, there was no way to wash the blood away… It was the smell left by the owner of the car who had been killed by a stray bullet.
Qin Xiu pursed his thin lips and sat upright. His initial elegance was gone, and he revealed a cold sharpness. “Please speed up. We’ll rush to the negotiation point in advance.”
!!
The internal strife in the neighboring country was deeper than expected. The division of the urban ethnic groups meant that the old government had already turned against the ethnic militants. Once war broke out, China’s borders would definitely be thrown into chaos.
Rebel without warning. It wasn’t just the old government and the anti-military forces inside, but there was also support from the outside!
Qin Xiu had already quickly gone over the negotiation plan in his heart. He had to express his determination to protect the land and the safety of China’s citizens with an absolute stance.
As Morgenthau pointed out in his book, Politics between States: Power Struggles and Peace, diplomacy was the art of persuasion, compromise, and the use of force.
He would not compromise this time. He would only use coercion.
Besides, he was going to ‘negotiate’ rather than ‘talk.’ The difference between the two was like heaven and earth. ‘Negotiation’ had a very obvious purpose. He had to fight for every benefit of his country.
‘Talks’ were like a sit-down chat in the tearoom. Whether there were results or nothing else to be gained, it was just about understanding and probing what others had in mind.
The former was clear, the latter vague.
Halfway through, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs called and once again made clear the purpose of the negotiation. “This is a political negotiation that involves our country’s homeland security and the personal safety of our people. We hope that all parties in the country can sit down and negotiate to obtain mutual understanding!
“Our country will not participate in other countries’ politics. We will stick to the principle of peace. If the various forces in the country must fight against each other, all parties must ensure the peace of our borders! If they disturb the peace of our borders, our country will take necessary precautions!”
When the foreign minister said this, Qin Xiu turned on the speakerphone on the only cell phone that could contact the country so that the three people in the car could hear him clearly.
Qin Xiu was in charge of the entire negotiation, while the three of them swore to protect Qin Xiu.
At two in the morning, the car with the bullet hole in the door finally arrived at the negotiation location on time. Someone had already arrived to receive them.
Ye Jian saw another familiar comrade—J5. He winked at Ye Jian secretly and shook hands with Qin Xiu with a serious expression. “Let’s go in and talk first. I’m afraid there’s been a change to the negotiation. A deputy commander found us 10 minutes earlier than you and asked if you came over. He didn’t tell us what happened.”
There had been a change to the negotiation?!
Qin Xiu’s expression suddenly darkened, and he walked quickly. The corners of his suit fluttered even though there was no wind. At this moment, Qin Xiu, the diplomat, attracted everyone’s attention.
