Translator: Timothy_ Editor: GlobeGlotter The fire outside seemed to be getting more and more concentrated . Dino looked at Yu Miaodan and said very carefully, "I agree to 10 minutes negotiation . Please, give us 10 minutes time and stop the attack . "
Yu Miaodan smiled, "It'd be fine even if you asked for 100 minutes, but I can't command the navy . Politics and the military are separated issues . My City Lord only looks at my report, not my suggestions . Mr Dino, if you really want a quiet and peaceful outside, it's best to settle the negotiations as soon as possible . "
Dino's face was green but before he could reply, his assistant gave the phone to him . After the call ended, Dino's expression had gotten calm again . He sat down and said to Yu Miaodan,"Chief Yu, we're willing to give Luo Yue as compensation 70 billion Luo Yue dollars . In exchange, your side must stop the invasion immediately and retreat . "
Yu Miaodan said slowly, "It it had been before, that compensation amount would have been just fine - we would have gladly accepted it . However, after this war, our losses are immeasurable . "
Dino was so angry that he didn't even want to sit down . He said rapidly, "How much do you guys want? Just tell me!"
Dino wanted to cry . It was no negotiation, they were pointing a gun at his face and robbing him . Luo Yue had lost some missiles at most, but Indonesia's losses that were truly immeasurable .
Yu Miaodan scrolled through the files in front of her and said after a while, "Originally, the City Lord asked for 300 billion Luo Yue dollars . "
Dino was almost paralysed after hearing that . 300 billion Luo Yue dollars . It was half of the nation's GDP .
But Yu Miaodan continued, "However, the City Lord wishes to maintain peace, so he has decided to reduce it to 100 billion . "
Dino breathed at ease . 100 billion was still acceptable . He wiped the sweat off his head, but Yu Miaodan hadn't finished, "Still, Luo Yue needs a place to stay in the Sunda Strait, so we will be renting the Jason Giambi Island for 99 years . "
"No, that's impossible," Dino rejected it without thinking . The Jason Giambi Island was the passage to the Sunda Strait . If it got rent, what about the Sunda Strait Bridge they had been working on these years?
Moreover, the Sunda Strait was one of the US' stations . It was the American 7th Fleet main passage into the Indian Ocean from the Pacific ocean . If Indonesia agreed to that, the US wouldn't let it be .
Yu Miaodan sneered, "Of course, we will give Bali Island back and we won't interfere with the bridge building . "
Dino sneered . They had to give Bali back no matter what . Even if he didn't ask for it, other countries would intervene in this matter . Suddenly, he realized that if Luo Yue took over Jason Giambi Island, then the US would have to face a problem when entering the Indian Ocean . That way, the conflict would be just between Luo Yue and the US, Indonesia could get out of that issue . Why should they help the US? Furthermore, that island wasn't a big loss to Indonesia .
If the US and Luo Yue fought, Indonesia could just sit back and reap the benefits . Thinking about this, Dino had a bleak smile . That island would be taken back by the US sooner or later, why would Indonesia help the US? If it hadn't been for them, Indonesia wouldn't have suffered such losses . They would have only had to pay 70 billion Luo Yue dollars .
But now, it was 100 billion and the damage on Bali was immeasurable .
Dino went outside and made a quick call . Then, he ran back in and said, "Okay, we agree . Let's write the agreement now . "
Yu Miaodan pushed the files over to Dino and said, "No need, Luo Yue has already signed . We're just waiting for your signature . "
Dino looked at the ready printed files and suddenly felt like he had walked into a trap . That feeling wasn't good .
…
When Mo Hai walked into the meeting room, it was near its end . It seemed that the Union had made a decision while he was away .
When Mo Hai came in, Jipan acted as though he didn't see him . It was obvious that he didn't care about Mo Hai's opinion anymore .
But for the first time, Mo Hai requested to talk . Many people thought that he would be speaking meaningless garbage, but Mo Hai said, "Luo Yue puts international peace as top priority . Considering that peace is hard to obtain and considering the will of the Union, Luo Yue has now reached an agreement with Indonesia . We will retreat from Bali and not attack Java . Perhaps no one believes us, but the moment I entered this room the army had already started retreating . "
"What?!"
The news shocked everyone . They had just reached a consensus to attack Luo Yue in order to keep world peace, but Luo Yue was retreating now!
Many country delegates felt at ease . Luo Yue retreating meant that they hadn't really invaded Indonesia and that they were just putting up a show for the Indonesians . After all, they had killed Luo Yue people and then didn't want to pay compensation .
"I suggest to immediately suspend our previous decision about Luo Yue . Luo Yue is retreating, we can't attack them anymore . After all, Indonesia started the problem . If we still attack Luo Yue now, it would be going against keeping world peace," Russia was the first to talk .
Peter immediately wanted to get up and rebuke this idea, but he knew that it would be inappropriate at a time like this . No one would agree .
Ji Pan could rest assured . He was the person who didn't want the war the most .
At that moment, the US President had received the contents of Luo Yue and Indonesia's agreement . He didn't care about how much Indonesia was compensating Luo Yue, but what infuriated him was that Indonesia had actually rented Sunda Strait to Luo Yue .
With this, Luo Yue could control the US' every move . He couldn't allow this to happen, but the island belonged to Indonesia . If they wanted to rent it, the US couldn't intervene . He would bet that the reason Luo Yue had asked for the island was to be able to fight the US .
The Indonesian government was garbage . The President wanted to roar, he had no other means to stop it . He even suspected that Luo Yue had already thought of the outcome before they started the invasion .
The US had finally found an opportunity to attack Luo Yue, but it ended before it even begun . If Luo Yue really had calculated all this, they were a political enemy that couldn't be underestimated . They were masters in schemes and shenanigans .
Thinking about this, the US still had another breakthrough point: the Philippines . However, not long after that, his assistant gave him news that Luo Yue and the Philippines had also reached a consensus . The Philippines had asked for peace and resolution after Luo Yue took over Bali . Seeing that the Philippines had come to them first, Luo Yue reduced the compensation amount to 30 billion Luo Yue dollars .
"F*ck!" The President swore and smashed the files on the ground . He felt like he was failure as a president .
Right this moment, the President believed that the person who had orchestrated the plan must have the experience of a bunch of lifetimes . Otherwise, how did he manage to calculate the timing and everything else so precisely?
"Announce right away that we're holding a meeting at the white house . " The President was worried, he felt like he was a step behind Luo Yue every single time .
…
Yu Miaodan admired Ye Mo's means too much . She finally understood what war was now . It wasn't the final goal, but the means to serve a purpose .
They had just provided a simple war plan, yet Ye Mo had calculated everything to the minute .
At the same time, Ye Mo was surprised at the Meng family's fortune telling art's power . When he combined it with the battle plan he had made, many things fit into place allowing him to make the perfect plan .
The only problem was Bali Island, but now that they retreated, they no longer had to worry .
Just when Ye Mo was about to leave and go to the welcoming ceremony for the soldiers, Xu Yuehua knocked on the door desperately .
