Chapter 228 Arrogance
A few hours later.
Inside the palace of the Nanyang Empire.
General Michael came here with two of his closest men.
Under the leadership of the red police officers, the three people arrived at the splendid living room of the palace.
Under the pillars, the entrances and exits of the stairs and the living room were guarded by red police guards with loaded guns.
As for Michael and his party, their weapons were temporarily kept by the Red Alert guards before entering the palace.
Because everyone who enters the Nanyang Empire Palace, except Emperor Wei Junlin and the Red Police Army, must hand over the weapons they carry.
This arrangement is not only for the safety of Wei Junlin, but also to prevent outsiders from messing around.
Although Michael is the general of the Lighthouse Navy, he must abide by the rules set by Wei Junlin.
"Guys, please wait a moment!"
The red police officer wearing a reddish-brown military uniform said humbly and politely to General Michael in front of him.
Among the men brought by General Michael this time, one acted as a translator, faithfully interpreting the words of the Red Police officer to General Michael.
In response, General Michael nodded, with a placid expression on his face, as if he were the master, and sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, his eyes filled with arrogance.
A few minutes later.
There was a sound of footsteps outside.
Originally, Michael thought it was Wei Junlin, the emperor of the Nanyang Empire, who came.
But when they saw each other, they realized that the person who came was not Wei Junlin, but someone else.
"Hello, General Michael, I am Po Jun, the adjutant of His Majesty the Emperor. I am here specifically to discuss the non-Bin area with you."
The red police adjutant walked up to Michael, reached out his hand, and greeted him politely.
But Michael did not extend his hand, or even stand up. He continued to sit on the comfortable and soft sofa, with a look of dissatisfaction and disdain in his eyes.
"Your level is too low and you are not worthy of talking to me. Let the emperor of your Nanyang Empire come out!"
General Michael glanced coldly at the red police adjutant.
The reason for being so presumptuous is that in his opinion, the Nanyang Empire is just a small country with similar strength as Taiguo. He believes that in the entire Nanyang Empire, only the emperor Wei Junlin is qualified to talk to him.
Seeing Michael being so rude, the red police adjutant retracted his hand indifferently, and then sat calmly on another sofa.
"If you want our Majesty to come out, fine, but only if your leader of the Lighthouse Nation also comes out?"
The red police adjutant showed no signs of weakness and was not used to the arrogant General Michael at all.
After the other party finished speaking, the translator from the Lighthouse Country translated everything in detail.
There was a smell of gunpowder at the scene, and it seemed that a spark would detonate it.
When an officer behind General Michael saw this, he immediately approached Michael's ear and whispered softly: "General, there is no need for us to conflict with them over such a trivial matter. Business is more important at the moment. Since he is Wei Junlin's adjutant , it must be Wei Junlin who asked him to come."
After hearing what his men said, Michael calmed down a lot.
A small impatience will mess up a big plan. It is important to understand that it is still important to deal with business at the moment.
"I won't talk nonsense. We are here for only one thing, and that is to ask your Nanyang Empire to return the non-Bin areas that originally belonged to our lighthouse country's overseas colonies!"
General Michael looked at the red police adjutant in front of him and said in a deep voice.
The translator standing behind him immediately translated into Chinese.
"Return to non-Bin areas? Absolutely impossible!"
"The Feibin area in your hands was captured by the Japanese army. From then on, the Feibin area is no longer your colony!"
"And our troops from the Nanyang Empire defeated the Japanese army in the Feibin area, so the territory in the Feibin area should belong to our Nanyang Empire!"
The red police adjutant argued hard, shook his head, and refused.
General Michael was not angry about this.
He knew what the red police lieutenant said was right.
Because many of the colonies in the Lighthouse Country were now captured in this way.
And the reason why he said this was actually to see if he could take back the non-Bin area with nothing.
But now it seems that this plan is going to fail, and we have to implement another plan.
"The five billion U.S. dollars will be regarded as your compensation for driving away the Japanese troops in the non-Bin area for our Lighthouse Army. In addition, after your Nanyang Empire returns the non-Bin area, our Lighthouse Country can vigorously carry out economic cooperation with you and try to maximize the benefits. For you guys."
General Michael did not even raise his eyelids, looking at the red police adjutant with a majestic expression.
The value of U.S. dollars in this era was far greater than in modern times.
Last year, the national GDP of the lighthouse country was only 100 billion US dollars.
Therefore, General Michael felt that if he directly provided one-twentieth of the Lighthouse Country's annual income, the other party would definitely agree.
"I said, it's impossible!"
The red police adjutant flatly refused.
General Michael was stunned for a moment, thinking he heard wrongly.
But seeing the red police adjutant's resolute expression, he confirmed that he heard correctly.
General Michael gritted his teeth, increased the benefits, and said: "In addition to the original conditions, we will add another billion dollars. I advise you to accept it as soon as it is good!"
The red police lieutenant shook his head and refused.
"Seven billion dollars, no more, this is my final bottom line!"
From Michael's point of view, he thought that the Red Alert adjutant was not satisfied with the price, so he reluctantly continued to increase the amount by one billion US dollars.
This is equivalent to China’s total economic income for half a year today.
"Everyone, please come back!"
The red police adjutant stood up and responded coldly.
In fact, even if Michael asked for hundreds of billions of dollars, he would not agree.
Because Wei Junlin had explained before that it was absolutely impossible to return non-Bin areas.
At this moment, General Michael finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, glared at the red police adjutant with wide eyes, stood up and roared: "Shameless, do you believe that our Lighthouse Nation will declare war on you now and destroy you?" Nanyang Empire!”
The red police adjutant frowned and his mouth twitched. He was extremely angry at Michael's words. He glared at Michael in front of him and yelled: "Arrogant!"
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside.
Then a voice that seemed familiar to the adjutant sounded from outside the door.
"Destroy our Nanyang Empire, what a big statement?"
Wei Junlin strode into the living room with great strides.
A domineering look appeared between his eyebrows, and murderous intent was everywhere.
……
And this moment.
In the office of the leader of the Lighthouse Country.
The leader of the Lighthouse Nation, who was wearing a formal suit and was processing documents, suddenly sneezed loudly, and then his right eye began to beat uncontrollably.
"It's strange, why do I feel a little uneasy all of a sudden?"
The astonished leader of the Lighthouse Nation touched his chest and murmured in his heart.
