Chapter 1496: 1497 New Treaty
Chapter 1496 1497 New Treaty
Within Datang Group, this topic has also caused a big discussion. Many people believe that such technology should not be leaked. However, some people believe that the technology can be sold, but it depends on what the other party is willing to give in exchange.
Those who oppose the sale of airborne warning devices naturally have a point. As long as they are kept secret, the opponent's air force will be ineffective and will not pose any threat to the Tang Empire's air force.
In this way, even if the opponent has tens of thousands of aircraft in the air, they will end up just parked on the ground, like scrap metal, not daring to take off for combat.
Those who agree with the sale of similar technologies also say something reasonable: if the other party is willing to pay a high enough price, similar technologies can be sold.
In any case, this thing does not affect the hard power of air combat: Tang's aircraft are still stronger, the pilots are still more powerful, and the missile technology is also far ahead. What if the opponent has a warning device?
It was nothing more than asking the pilots to parachute immediately to escape. In fact, it did not affect the air force operations of the Tang Empire at all.
In addition, a warning device that suddenly starts whining will also bring psychological pressure to the opponent's pilots - they will immediately parachute and abandon their aircraft.
Tang Mo is very inclined to sell similar technology, because it can bring more benefits to the Tang Empire, as well as the political benefits he wants to get.
For example, he hoped to pass a treaty to enforce the treatment of captives in the Tang Empire. Although there are not many, the Tang Empire's air force still has paratroopers, and even ground troops, there are still some captured personnel, and these personnel will not enjoy fair treatment as prisoners in the war.
This is what Tang Mo hopes to solve. He hopes that the other party can treat the prisoners of the Tang Empire preferentially and ensure the personal safety of these prisoners.
It would be great if it could be implemented into a treaty and have as strong a binding force as the landmine treaty.
In addition, Tang Mo hopes to sign an anti-drug convention with countries around the world. Tang State can require countries around the world to hand over criminals who smuggled and sold illegal vaginal products into the Tang Empire if they have sufficient evidence.
The upper limit of this treaty is to reach the duke level. To put it bluntly, as long as the Tang Empire is important and there is evidence, except for the emperors of various countries who have immunity, everyone else must be extradited and subject to sanctions.
It does not mean that the emperor can stay out of the matter, because there is a supplementary clause in this treaty, that is, if the emperor of another country organizes smuggling and selling illegal vaginal products into the territory of the Tang Empire, then the Datang Empire has the right to declare war on that country. .
That's right, if the other emperor committed evil, the Tang Empire would directly declare war and destroy the country. The entire treaty embodies what it means that drug traffickers must be punished even if they are far away - but this treaty has never been successfully concluded, and other countries do not buy the Datang Empire's account at all.
Now, several countries are willing to tie this treaty to a new round of sales of advanced weapons and equipment, which is also a compromise.
The national conditions of each country are different, so the resistance is also different. Nobles in some countries believe that such an extradition treaty is unfair, and they demand that the scope of extradition does not include nobles.
Of course, the interests of some lower-level nobles can also be betrayed at critical moments. For example, the Susas Empire feels that setting the upper limit to barons or viscounts is actually negotiable.
The Yangmu Empire believes that the old covenant between the Three Emperors Alliance still exists between the two countries, and it is not impossible to conclude a new covenant, but the original framework should be followed. The elves hope that the two countries will sign a treaty to never attack each other, and then put the treaty on extradition of criminals into the eternal friendship treaty between the two countries, so that everyone can rest assured.
The dwarves emphasize equality. They hope that the Tang Empire will also give the dwarves a similar treaty. The content is that if aristocrats or civilians from the Tang Empire commit crimes in the Ice Empire, the dwarves also have the right to extradite the criminals, and the Tang Empire should also Fully cooperate.
Of course, this kind of thing is impossible: the Tang Empire certainly cannot let go of the so-called **** nobles such as earls and marquises. As long as they commit crimes, they must be sanctioned by the Datang Empire. For example, Sophia is a noble. If the Tang Empire cannot extradite Sophia, what is the point of signing this treaty?
In addition, the eternal friendship treaty that the Yangmu Empire hopes to conclude is even more of a joke. It is impossible for the Tang State to give any country a similar commitment. As for the request of the dwarves, it is naturally impossible for the Tang Empire to agree to it. After all, power is power. How could the Tang Kingdom negotiate so-called equality with the Binghan Empire?
Hence, such negotiations have been put on hold before, and there has been no progress until recently. But things are different now. Countries are gradually looking to Tang for weapons and equipment, so most of their attitudes have changed.
Anyway, everyone has no other good way. On the one hand, they offer a "price" that looks very attractive, and on the other hand, they make a fuss about various similar diplomatic treaties.
Tang Mo had similar thoughts, and various countries were also interested in compromising in this direction, so the diplomatic activities of various countries have become obviously active recently.
After seeing the domestic football leagues in the Tang Empire, the significant increase in entertainment activities, and the lack of large-scale military actions, everyone began to focus on adjusting international relations.
Except for the Dorne Empire, other countries have maintained normal diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty. Export trade has continued to increase, and imports have exploded.
Countless ores were shipped directly to the Tang Empire at the port, and countless merchant ships carried the goods of the Tang Empire for export to the Eastern Continent.
The exchanges of commerce and trade made people temporarily forget that the war was not over yet, and also made many people forget that all the countries on the Eastern Continent were desperately preparing for war to guard against the possible invasion of the Tang Empire.
Diplomats still argue with each other on diplomatic matters, and businessmen naturally cooperate with each other on commercial matters. For a time, it seemed as if the threat of the Tang Empire no longer existed, and transactions and exchanges became the main theme.
As the saying goes, we drink from a golden bottle together, but we will not spare each other with a white blade.
Only the Dorne Empire rejected the so-called "drug treaty" because they were still nominally fighting against the Tang Empire. Of course, another important reason is that Sophia's organization is still active in the southern region of Goblin, and they can already deeply influence the political arena of the Dorne Empire.
It was naturally impossible for Sophia to allow a treaty that would allow her to be extradited to the Tang Empire to be brought to justice, so the Dorne Empire rejected the Tang Empire's request to sign a treaty.
