It was still in a room with relaxed music. Lynch sat on the sofa and governor delag sat opposite him.

In addition to the provincial governor, there are several accompanying staff who are in private contact with Lynch.

Normally, although this kind of thing is not illegal, it is not very good. After all, this kind of private contact is easy to be misunderstood, but neither Mr. Truman nor the nagaril delegation cares about it.

Now the situation has become somewhat complicated. After Preston moved out of gavra's Royal Navy, his passivity has not been solved, but began to move in an unknown direction that no one knows.

Gavra is also discussing the possibility that... No, it is an inevitable naval battle. Some people even put forward an idea - to fight a "patriotic war" with the Federation on the land of the United Kingdom of nagary.

The people who put forward this idea are essentially the same as the Federation, or Lynch, greedy for the resources of this land.

Whether there is one or not, it is best to fight first. If there is one, it is natural that these resources can make up for the military expenses and various expenses consumed by gavra in helping the United Kingdom against the aggressors.

If not, it doesn't matter. In the imperialist form of gavra, it's not difficult to turn nagary into a ATM.

This idea already has supporters within gavra, and nagariel can make up for some of the benefits they lost in the world war, but did not recover.

However, there is still some hesitation, that is, the evaluation of the combat effectiveness of the Federation.

They instinctively think that the strength of the Federal Navy is certainly not as good as theirs, but there is a little uncertainty. This uncertainty is actually very normal.

No one dares to say that he will win until the war really breaks out and the results come out.

In history, there have also been many battles and even wars with great differences in strength, but the results have been reversed.

Gavra's idea now actually has some contradictions. They want to find out how the Federation's combat effectiveness is, and they are greedy for everything that nagary has.

At the same time, they are unwilling to pull themselves into a protracted war and consume the remaining war potential.

Such a contradictory mentality leads to another phenomenon, that is, nagary is unable to make a choice.

This is the sadness of small countries. They don't have the slightest autonomy on diplomatic issues or even sovereignty issues. They can only see the thoughts and minds of those big countries constantly change their positions.

The people in the room were silent. The news from nagaril told them to keep waiting, but delag and some others couldn't wait any longer. It was a kind of suffering.

It also makes them feel an urgent need to change. Only when they are strong can they not look at other people's faces.

As the main representative to promote the establishment of diplomatic relations, de gra now undertakes the important task of communicating with the Federation. Although the domestic government allows them to delay as much as possible, the delegation should also consider its own position.

Nagary is not a unified country, although it doesn't seem to be.

For example, governor de gra doesn't care about what will happen to the United Kingdom of nagary. He only cares about what will happen to his family and the provincial capital of Magura if war really breaks out.

As for the others?

Who cares about their lives!

Governor de gra has no acquaintances with gavra, which makes him lack the basis for communication with gavra. He can only find Lynch.

"I and all of you here support the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Federation..." governor de gra made a head. He looked at others, and others nodded one after another. These people all represent a governor or a parish.

His eyes moved to lynch again. "Before the next negotiation officially begins, we want to talk about what we can get if we reach an agreement and establish friendly and mutually beneficial diplomatic relations."

This is a way to show sincerity. We are already discussing things after the establishment of diplomatic relations. Can we show more sincerity than this?

At the same time, this is also a helpless choice. Since you always have to choose one, choose a more appropriate one.

In fact, they are more inclined to establish diplomatic relations with the federal government than Preton's terms of giving them more profit sharing and reducing the price of imported goods.

If Preston hadn't moved out of gavra's Royal Navy, nagary and the Federation might have submitted credentials by now.

To some extent, Preston firm actually controls the customs power of nagariel in a practical sense, but what he does is wonderful and hidden, and he won't be disgusted, but the fact is the fact.

It seems to be a good choice if we can expel Preston, regain customs power and obtain federal technical support.

Listening to governor delag's words, Lynch shook his head. "The terms we offered are the most favorable conditions, and these conditions..." he smiled twice, "because your arrogance may change."

Governor delag had a little confusion on his face, "I don't understand."

Sometimes people are like this. You give others face, but they regard it as awe.

Lynch put down his glass. "Let me put it this way. Both me and the federal government are very dissatisfied with your wavering attitude. Some people take the opportunity to make trouble and make the federal government very passive, which is caused by your failure to withstand the pressure."

"All the agreements we negotiated before will be invalidated. Next, there will be some new contents, and it will not be as good as before."

Lynch looked at governor delag, the changing expression on his face and the changes in his eyes. "We said some private words. In fact, now the federal government is more inclined to you to refuse to establish diplomatic relations, so that we can fight a revenge war with gavra around the sea and land of nagaril."

"You people, the land, resources and everything of nagaril will eventually be divided and controlled by the winner."

"Changing attitudes and positions are annoying, governor. I'm tired, and so is Mr. Truman."

These words were very impolite, but governor degla was not angry. Of course, there were some emotional expressions and changes on his face, but on the whole, he could control himself well.

"I can understand!" he said something that made Lynch smile. He understood Lynch's mean language and some changes in diplomatic attitude.

In fact, in the final analysis, he and nagary are not strong enough. They can't do anything.

"I will actively persuade the delegation to make a decision, but what should I use to persuade them?". In the face of some aggressive Lynch, delag's attitude and tone have not changed much. Whether he is restraining himself or this is his real situation, he must endure it.

Lynch thought with a closed mouth, "if you maintain such an attitude at the beginning, some disputes will not break out. Preston is only a person, a pirate businessman after all. He can't represent anyone, let alone a country."

"When the federal fleet destroys his last battle at sea, he will not have a second way to go except being hanged as a pirate!"

Lynch paused and continued, "the things we talked about will not change, but some details will change."

"First of all, the financial assistance given to you by the Federation can only be used to pay for the employment of federal staff, the construction of factories and facilities designated by us, and the introduction of goods and raw materials designated by us. It can not be used elsewhere, and the money must be used under our supervision."

This is much more severe than before. Before, the federal condition was that only half of the funds should be supervised and belong to special funds, but now it has become all.

However, this change does not make much sense to governor degla and others.

What they can get is only a small part, and most of them belong to the central government. After all, the central government is still the nominal supreme governing body of nagalil.

Without much discussion, they nodded and agreed with Lynch.

"Second...", he stretched out two fingers, "for the construction projects of factories and facilities we negotiated before, more than 70% of the workers used in the construction process must be federal citizens."

"In the subsequent production process of these factories, the proportion of federal workers cannot be less than 30 percent."

This condition is a little harsh, but after discussing with others, governor degla still thinks there is no problem. Although in some ways, they have to pay a lot of wages to federal workers every month, in fact, the money is paid by the federates themselves. They have no loss and will not refuse.

Lynch also smiled more. "Third, the federal sol must become the legitimate official currency of the United Kingdom of nagary."

When he put forward the third main request or opinion, governor de gra did not immediately agree. They discussed for a while, and Lynch kept observing the changes in their expressions.

Except for de GRA and a slightly younger governor or governor's representative, others seemed indifferent.

Some people even think this proposal is good. At least the federal sol is one of the international currencies and can be used directly in many countries, but they can't find a place where they want to exchange according to the official exchange rate.

Governor de gra didn't know what was special about this request. He just instinctively thought there might be a trap in it.

In fact, the trap is not a trap, it's just a huge surprise.
