Alien Empire Total War - Chapter 283
“Dance’s ambassador!”
In the Governor’s Mansion of the Port of Atona Concession, accompanied by the shouts of the guards, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the new government of Danse in formal attire strode into the outer hall under the guidance of his attendants, and saw Atto, who was also dressed in formal attire. Nahas Nelson, Governor of Nahar Harbour.
This Nahas Nelson was an old acquaintance of Charlie. He had been the Legislative Minister during the kingdom, and his son, Anton Nelson, was also a friend of Charlie’s. When choosing the candidate for the first Governor of Port Atona, after the recommendation of Gunilla, Charlie finally chose him as the Governor.
As the Legislative Minister of the previous dynasty and the title of Duke of Drake, Nahas Nelson’s management skills are also excellent, making him the first Governor is indeed a good choice.
“Mr. Bronte, welcome to the Port of Atona, and I hope that our next negotiations will yield a result that satisfies both of us.”
Nahas Nielsen took a few steps forward and reached out to shake hands with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Dance, and said at the same time.
“That’s what I’m here for, Your Excellency.” Burton Bronte, the foreign ministry of the new government of the Republic of Danse, reached out and held the hand handed by Nelson, and said with a smile.
The two men held hands and quickly separated. Governor Nelson raised his hand to signal Minister Danes to sit down. After the two of them sat down, Nelson raised his right foot on his left and said first:
“Mr. Bronte, I have already read the diplomatic documents you submitted. Under the instructions of the Imperial Government, the diplomatic negotiations with you will be solely in charge of the Concession Governor’s Office.”
“I understand.” Bronte nodded and said, “So, can we start?”
“Of course.”
After seeing Nelson’s agreement, Brontë cleared his throat and said, “First of all, I would like to state that the puppet government previously entrenched in Dennis has been overthrown by our army, most of the leaders have been arrested, and the new government established by our side has been overthrown. It is the only legitimate regime in the Danse Republic, and everything we negotiate is based on that.”
After speaking, he paused and said: “When our army recaptured Dennis City, the first leader of the puppet government, Rob Harvey and his henchmen, escaped in the chaos, we have enough evidence to show that Harvey Escaped into your country’s concession area, so we hope that your country can extradite Harvey back to our country…”
Bronte was interrupted by Nelson before he could finish speaking. He made a gesture and said, “I’m very sorry, Mr. Bronte, I’ve never heard rumors about Rob Harvey entering the concession area, I don’t know. Where did your so-called sufficient evidence come from?”
Brontë did not show dissatisfaction because of the interruption. Before he came, he had expected this kind of reaction from the imperial people, and he said calmly: “The commoners living in the area near the concession have all been Witnessed the scene of Harvey escaping to the concession area, and not only that, considering the current situation, Harvey can only escape into the concession area.”
“This is actually happening?” Nelson showed a very shocked expression. He immediately turned his head to look at his only son, Anton Nelson, who was standing behind him, and ordered: “Send someone to the border check immediately to check to see if Rob Harvey has entered the country. record.”
“Yes, father.” Anton agreed and turned to leave the hall. Brontë watched the father and son act for him without saying a word. He knew very well that the other party was pretending in front of him, but he didn’t say a word. Debunking the idea, he didn’t speak until Anton left.
“Your Excellency the Governor,” he said, “Since you have sent someone to investigate, let’s skip to the next topic for the time being, about the lease term of Port Atona.”
The most important thing in Nelson’s heart is finally here, but he still looks calm on the surface, he said: “Before that, I would like to declare that the previous government of your country has signed a treaty to bring Ato The lease of the Port of Naples has been extended to ten years, and the Empire will not withdraw from the Port of Atona until the expiry date of 1765.”
The new treaty, which was extended to ten years, was newly signed half a year ago. At that time, the situation of the Danse government troops was precarious. In order to obtain more assistance from the empire, they had to accept the conditions of the empire taking advantage of the fire and lease the port of Atona. This was increased to ten years, or 1765.
However, although they signed a new treaty, the military aid of the Empire did not prevent them from falling, and it only continued to survive for a few more months.
Nelson’s voice fell, and a squire held the prepared treaty and stepped forward to hand it over to Bronte’s squire. After the latter took it, Bronte didn’t even look at it, he said: “This treaty I have also heard about it, so I don’t need to check it, Your Excellency Governor, this treaty was signed by the previous government, and the new government will not be responsible for this treaty, in other words…”
Before he finished speaking, Nelson interrupted him. He retracted his right leg on his left leg and questioned: “Is your government going to tear up the treaty and take back Port Atona by force?”
“Oh no, of course not.” Brontë quickly clarified, “Your Excellency Governor, please calm down. Although the new government will not be responsible for this treaty, if this matter can be resolved through diplomatic negotiations, we will Will also try to avoid the use of force as much as possible, approaching already many Danse people have died in the brutal civil war.”
Brontë did not dare to cause the two countries to provoke a war because of his own reasons. How could the Republic of Danse, which just ended the civil war, be the opponent of the Empire. Once the war broke out, they could only end up being overthrown.
Moreover, he is not a professional diplomat himself. Before joining the rebel army, he was only a second-rate novelist. He was able to become the foreign minister because of his relationship with his sister marrying the leader of the rebel army.
Because of his own lack of talent, there have always been voices against him within the government, but due to his brother-in-law’s relationship, it can only be provoked.
“Then ~www.mtlnovel.com~ What are your thoughts?” Nelson’s attack just now was just about to scare Foreign Minister Dans in front of him. He adjusted his breath and asked.
“Let us restart negotiations on this treaty!” Brontë said, “in order not to let the 200,000 civilians of Port Atona suffer the pain of war.”
At the end, he added: “In order to show our sincerity in this negotiation, the troops previously stationed on the border will withdraw ten miles back.”
Nelson did not speak immediately after hearing this. He squinted and stared at Bronte for a while, with a gleam in his eyes that made the latter feel dangerous. After a few seconds, he said, “If we refuse to negotiate, will your country be ready? Are you ready for war?”
In the face of Nelson’s inquiry, Brontë felt a little guilty for a while, but he still pretended to be calm, facing the gaze of the other party, and said:
“In order to preserve the territorial integrity of our country, the new government will not back down.”
Nelson took a panoramic view of Brontë’s guilty conscience and pretended to be calm. He chuckled and said, “Okay, we will agree to negotiate.”
