Chapter 1459: 1460Looking for help everywhere
In Pan Yiping's huge office, Dorne's foreign minister sat across from Pan Yiping with a look of embarrassment on his face, and begged Pan Yiping: "Mr. Pan, please help me, please help me."
He really had no other choice when he came this time. King Dorn I hoped that he could resolve the war and peace talks with the Tang Empire, but he couldn't even get an entry permit from the Tang Empire.
There is no way, the Tang Empire did not agree, and the foreign minister of the Dorne Empire would never dare to board the ship to the Western Continent. If you are really regarded as an enemy and sunk, who will you cry to?
The envoys sent before were either for other purposes of reporting, or they sent death squads to secretly go there, so there was no way to meet important Tang figures in the Tang Empire.
They don’t know you are coming at all, and they don’t agree to your coming, so if you don’t receive them, you don’t receive them. This is not considered rude in diplomacy. The diplomatic department of the Tang Empire is very particular about it.
Dorn really had no other option, so the Foreign Minister bit the bullet and found Pan Yiping, a businessman who seemed to have a lot of connections in the Tang Empire. He wanted to ask him to come out and exert influence to get the Tang Empire to agree to open the two countries. peace negotiations between countries.
After all, Dorne can’t afford to spend much money. The Tang Empire is booming, but Dorne is declining... Comparing these two, Dorne seems even more miserable.
If the Tang Empire really attacks at an extremely fast speed, the Dorne Empire can share the same hatred and fight to the death with one heart and one mind.
But now the Tang Empire is not coming at all. This suddenly makes many people in Dorne start to have other thoughts: Isn't peace talks possible? It's better to pay compensation than to waste it like this, right?
As time goes by, more and more people support peace talks, and the merchants and nobles who undertook the construction of the coastal defense line are crazy about advocating the value of peace.
Who asked them to cut corners and build a defense line that was not as strong as it looked on paper? If a fight really breaks out, or if the Tang Empire is ready to fight, won't the paper defense lines they built be exposed?
What if something really goes wrong and Dorne I pursues the case and kills a few chickens to scare the monkeys? No one wants to be the chicken that scares the monkeys, right?
“Sir, you are really imposing yourself on others. The people who have contact with me are just some technical staff. What kind of influence can they have...” Pan Yiping smiled and waved his hand, refusing to say.
Don’t say that he doesn’t have this authority at all. Even if he does, he must contact his superior and confirm the countermeasures before he can agree to the other party’s request. He came to Dorne only to develop the intelligence system, and he had nothing to do with diplomatic matters.
"We really have no other choice. As long as you can help us find someone we can talk to, I owe you a favor." The Foreign Secretary said this with sincerity. Almost wiped away tears.
But Pan Yiping, a veteran who has been in the business circle for a long time and has also worked in the intelligence field for several years, naturally cannot be easily impressed. Just kidding, what is a favor? Is your favor too valuable?
Not to mention that the Minister of Foreign Affairs does not have much real power in Dorne's senior leadership. Even if there is a minister with real power, Pan Yiping will not pay attention to him if he does not make honest conditions and simply says that he owes a favor.
Hearing Pan Yiping's refusal, Dorne's foreign minister was not surprised. He came here with no other options and actually had no hope. Of course, he really didn't have any good conditions for Pan Yiping. The big businessman in front of him who relied on radar technology to make a fortune in Dorne was a really hot man.
He, a poor foreign minister, simply couldn't afford the conditions that the great man in front of him would like: You know, the military now regards Pan Yiping as a treasure, and the conditions Pan Yiping proposed are really the same.
Even King Dorne I gave Pan Yiping a medal in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the Dorne Empire. How could such a person take a foreign minister with little real power in his eyes? If it were the Prime Minister of Dorne who came today, maybe it would be almost the same...
Just when the foreign minister of Dorne was destined to return without success, in the office of the imperial diplomatic department in the capital of the Lions Empire, the Foreign Minister of the Lions Empire was meeting with the ambassador of Dorne, Paul.
They are old acquaintances. Paul, the Dornish ambassador to the Lions Empire, cried sadly and pleaded to Suomi, the Foreign Minister of the Lions Empire: "All our efforts to make peace with the Tang Empire have failed."
"What a pity." Although Suomi said he was sorry, everyone knew that he, like those in power in other countries, was secretly smiling in his heart.
As long as Doan is in front of them, they can reduce a lot of pressure. As long as Dorne continues to maintain a state of war with the Tang Empire, these countries can safely import various equipment and materials from the Tang Empire.
"We need more aid. If we keep the current situation, our economy will completely collapse in a few months at most!" Paul told the situation in Dorne in a depressed voice: "At least 300,000 tons more food must be provided. 200,000 barrels of oil…”
"This is impossible! You are an oil-producing country yourself!" Suomi frowned, shook his head and retorted: "It makes no sense for you to ask for high prices here. Please give me a more realistic number."
"This is already very few, Lord Miso. We are fighting against the Tang Empire alone. The pressure is really too great." Ambassador Paul pleaded: "We need more weapons, more equipment, more food, more fuel..."
"If our economy collapses, then the Tang Empire can land on any beach in Dorne. By then... they will have a firm foothold in Dorne, and you will just die a few days later than us." With a trace of With a hint of threat, Paul looked at Suomi and assumed a future that no one wanted to see.
"Are you planning to blackmail us?" Suomi reminded with some dissatisfaction: "In the past few months, we have provided you with 100,000 tons of food! 100,000 tons! Some of our people are still hungry! In this case, we still provide you with great help! ”
"I understand! I understand everything! Master Kesuomi! We really need more help." Paul said with difficulty: "Please. For the sake of God..."
"Damn it... I can't promise you anything. I will convey your request to His Majesty. I will also fight for you at the court... But, I don't guarantee that Your Majesty will agree to your request." After Suomi was silent for a few seconds, He said with a sigh.
