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. 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 was 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 reporting for other purposes, 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 even know you're coming, 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 much. The Tang Empire is booming, but Dorne is dwindling... 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, isn't it?
As time went by, more and more people supported the peace talks, and the merchant nobles who undertook the construction of the coastal defense line even madly preached the value of peace.
Who told 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 investigates 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 forcing yourself to do something difficult. 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.
Not to mention that he doesn't have this authority at all, even if he does, he must contact his superiors 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 wiping 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 did not have much real power in Dorne's senior leadership. Even if there was a minister with real power, Pan Yiping would not pay attention to him if he did not offer honest conditions and simply said that he owed a favor.
Dorn's foreign minister was not surprised when he heard Pan Yiping's refusal. He came here with no other options, and actually didn't have much hope. Of course, he did not have any good conditions for Pan Yiping. The big businessman in front of him who relied on radar technology to thrive in Dorne was a truly hot man.
A poor foreign minister like him 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 true.
Even 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 about the same...
And just when Dorne's foreign minister was destined to return without success, in the office of the empire's diplomatic department in the capital of the Lions Empire, Lions Empire's foreign minister was meeting with Dorne's ambassador Paul.
They were old acquaintances. Paul, Dorne's ambassador to the Lions Empire, cried sadly and begged Suomi, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Lions Empire: "All our efforts to negotiate 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 Duo En 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 30 tons more food must be provided. 20 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, Master Misuo. 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 have established a foothold in Dorne, and you will only 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 10 tons of food! 10 tons! Some of our people are still hungry! Under such circumstances, 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... 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." Suomi was silent for a few seconds. Finally, he sighed and said.
