20 Armistice
Speaking of Mission 3 released by the system, Lin Fan had a lot of guesses.
First of all, the system will never issue meaningless tasks, nor will it give meaningless rewards.
Last time, I suddenly gave myself a personal ability, mecha driving, but this time I suddenly released a mission, and the reward was still upgrade to A for mecha driving.
This made Lin Fan very concerned.
As a human with a high IQ and a highly developed brain, Lin Fan quickly guessed hundreds of possibilities.
However, Lin Fan believes that the most likely thing is that he will experience some kind of situation in the future, and he will need to use the mecha driving ability.
However, this is not what Lin Fan wants to consider now. At this moment, he is still more curious about the legion commander of the Ox Empire mentioned in the system mission.
He remembered that the other party told him that there were only ordinary negotiators, but Lin Fan would not doubt the system. Since the system said it, it was certain.
Soon, both personnel entered the temporary space station, and a long table was arranged inside, with a row of 6 chairs on the left and right.
After sitting down, Lin Fan looked at the 6 Ox people on the opposite side, and quickly pinpointed the one sitting at the top.
Obviously, you can feel the aura of the superior from him, this should be the commander Adams the system said.
Feeling Lin Fan's gaze, Adams looked over with his eye-catching eyes.
"This person shouldn't be a negotiator, right?"
Adams looked at Lin Fan for a few seconds, and then said casually with a smile.
"Indeed, he is the commander of the fleet who escorted me here, not a negotiator. The negotiation is in charge of the five of us. He is just an observer, you don't need to care."
Ed, who was also sitting in the first place, responded immediately.
However, Ed was still a little surprised. The other party was really keen, and it seemed that the negotiation would not be too easy.
"Since you say so, let's do it! We can start!"
"Okay, what we are mainly talking about today is the handling of the ninth prince of your empire."
"Hmph, let's be honest, what are your conditions?"
"It's very simple, you have withdrawn from the solar system, you have occupied all our alien galaxy territories, there is no need to kill them all!"
"This is impossible, today I promise you, tomorrow I will be executed by the emperor of the empire, change the conditions!"
"Our federation only has this condition. If the ninth prince has an accident, I don't think you can bear it, right?"
"It's the same sentence. If the ninth prince is dead, the emperor will execute me, but if I agree to withdraw from the solar system, the emperor will also execute me, so it is better for you to change to a more realistic condition, otherwise it will be impossible to negotiate."
Sure enough, Eddie thought silently.
However, it was observed through the expression that he did not think that the other party was lying, but if this was the case, it would be impossible for the other party to withdraw from the solar system.
The same is death, the other party will also choose a death method that can have a good reputation, after all, being threatened to withdraw from the army is not a reputation.
So where is the breakthrough? Ed couldn't help but have a headache.
"If that's the case, how about changing the conditions to a ten-year armistice?"
At this moment, Lin Fan, who was sitting at the end, spoke up. Ed and the four people he brought with him turned to look at Lin Fan in surprise.
"Sorry, we need to discuss it internally."
"random!"
In this space station, there is a room on each side, dedicated to this situation.
After Edd gestured to Lin Fan with his eyes, he immediately took the lead and walked to a room on his side.
Lin Fan smiled bitterly and stood up and followed.
"Lin Fan, I remember saying that you were just here to observe!"
"Uncle Ed, I think it is necessary for me to give you some knowledge from a military perspective! Otherwise, you will make wrong judgments!"
"Um?"
After hearing Lin Fan's answer.
Ed's dissatisfaction at the beginning gradually turned into curiosity. Did he really miss something important?
"Uncle Ed, why do you think we can maintain a temporary confrontation with each other at present?"
"Because Liang Xingchen beat them up in the asteroid belt six years ago, they won't be willing to fight us in the asteroid belt again until they are not sure!"
"Yes, then, if the other party agrees to withdraw from the solar system, will the Federation dare to leave the asteroid belt? If not, what's the use of letting the other party withdraw?"
"Uh!"
Ed was stunned by Lin Fan's words, yes, even if the other party withdraws from the solar system, do we dare to go out from the barrier of the asteroid belt?
If nothing else, the only surviving Fourth Fleet of the Federation is now.
Once out of the asteroid belt, the other party will return a carbine, and human beings will no longer have any soldiers to fight.
You know, if it wasn't in the asteroid belt, you asked Liang Xingchen's 20,000 warships to deal with other people's more than 100,000 warships. Isn't this courting death?
In space without any environmental terrain at all, the competition between the two sides is the performance of the warship, the commander's formation, artillery, evasion and other capabilities.
If the capabilities of the commanders of the two sides are not far behind, the performance of the battleship is the decisive factor, and then everyone knows that the battleship of the Federation is not as advanced as the battleship of the Ox Empire.
This is why the first to third fleets are next to each other, and Barnard and Tianyuan Si have never won a game.
The number is not comparable, the performance of the warships is not comparable, and the commander's experience has not been increased, so what will be used to win?
So, does it really make sense to ask the other party to withdraw from the solar system now?
It's meaningless at all, not only that, but also a waste of a card in his hand.
"Uncle Ed, you should know about the curvature engine, right?"
Looking at Ed's expression, it seemed that he wanted to understand, and Lin Fan continued to speak.
"I know, because of this, your old man is always scolding in front of me!"
"Uh... It turns out that the old man still has this side, I really don't know... Beside the point, so what we need now is not the other party's withdrawal from the solar system, but time."
"time?"
"Yes, when our curvature engine is fully installed, that is, when our counterattack begins, Uncle Ed should also know about industrial robots. When we apply it in large quantities, the speed of shipbuilding will be increased several times. ."
"So, what we really need is time?"
"That's right, time, nothing else matters!"
"Okay, I get it, I've really convinced you boy now, you are a monster in the military, you are a monster in scientific research, but you still look at things with a monster..."
"Hehe, uncle praised, let's go out!"
Soon, the two returned to the negotiating table.
"Sorry, sorry, let's continue!"
"Yes, but you don't need to mention the impossible conditions, otherwise it will be a waste of time."
"Then according to what Lin Fan said just now, let's replace it with the condition of a ten-year truce!"
"I can agree to this condition, but when are you going to return the ninth prince?"
"Naturally, it will be returned after the ten-year period."
"Impossible, what if you threaten the Ninth Prince in ten years?"
"Then I don't know what your opinion is?"
"If you want to return it after the fact, I promise at most five years, and if I return it now, I can promise ten years!"
"It's impossible to return it now. What if you don't acknowledge the account?"
"Okay, then five years!"
Lin Fan didn't want to listen to the content that followed, it was similar to bargaining at the vegetable market.
After all, it didn't matter to Lin Fan whether it was 5 years or 10 years. What the two sides were fighting for now was nothing more than the final victory in diplomacy.
If the final negotiation was ten years, it would give the impression that this negotiation was a victory for Lin Fan, but if the negotiation was five years, it would give the impression that it was a victory for the Ox Empire.
According to Lin Fan's estimation, it is likely to be 7 or 8 years in the end. In the end, everyone will take a step back and reach an agreement.
As expected by Lin Fan, the final agreement between the two parties was seven years.
But just as everyone was about to sign a formal agreement, the accident happened again.
