The middle-aged man sent to negotiate has obvious military characteristics, but if he is just a soldier, I don’t believe it.

I would believe it if he was an officer.

I asked, "You speak Mandarin very well."

He said: "We have been immigrating for more than 100 years. Our ancestral home is Tianjin. In the late Qing Dynasty, my grandfather took my grandparents to Southeast Asia to make a living. My mother is from Shandong. We are all very good at Mandarin. When I was in college, I specialized in English. Later, by chance, I joined the army and became the translator of the army."

I said, "Yeah, it's very good, sit down."

He sat down.

I went to pour him a glass of water, he took it and said thank you, and said, "First of all, I am very sorry for the harm that what they did on us did to you."

Helanting said: "It's not your business."

Indeed, he was just an interpreter. What happened in the army was his turn to speak.

He said: "Secondly, I have known about this in the army for a long time and am helping lobby to prevent anyone from hurting your captured prisoners."

After he said this, I had a great impression of him.

I said, "Thank you."

He said: "Some senior military leaders, for the sake of their interests, collude with pirates, and force you to be pirates, deceive your superiors and hide them from them. Such things often happen and are difficult to ban."

I said, "It's all for money, but your senior executives are really too brave for money."

He said: "If I were a senior, I wouldn't have done that."

After saying that, he smiled.

In fact, with his identity, the chance of entering the local army and being promoted to the top management is very small.

I said, "What do you want to talk about."

He said, "It depends mainly on what you want to talk about."

I smiled like he was just now and said, "What is your bottom line?"

He said: "We have asked Seahawk as a representative to talk to you, but it seems that you are not very satisfied with the conditions he has given."

I said, "That's it. We will definitely not be satisfied because the chips are too low."

He said, "So, I don't know what you think."

I asked, "Actually, these three hundred soldiers are very important to you."

He said: "Important."

I said, "In the eyes of your leaders, life may not be important."

He said: "Of course it's important."

I said: "Compared with the public pressure caused by worry, life can only be second. If you are worried that this matter will be exposed, your superiors will take the blame and your black hat will not be protected."

He said: "If you really expose it, it's more than that, and you may face jail. But what I want to say is that if you don't handle this matter well, you may be implicated."

I said, "You are threatening me."

He said, "I'm telling the truth. If you really expose this matter, you will become famous here. You have interests in many places, and many places will not do anything to you. But you have completely offended us and made several places around us stare at you. I guess it will not be of much benefit to you."

His words make sense. We can gain a foothold in the slit and build such a small area of ​​land to develop in the name of the company's business. If others regard us as a local prince or a local regime, we may really become a thorn in the side of many places.

And if they offend them completely, they will really send a large army to attack us in the name of the formality.

I lit a cigarette and looked at Helanting.

He Lanting said slowly and said, "It's no big deal. If we can't beat it, at most it will be failure."

He said: "Failed, that's both sides are hurt. Why bother? Tell me directly, what do you want."

Helanting signaled me to say directly.

Indeed, he was right. If the negotiations broke down and the two sides confronted each other, they would pay a huge price. Their senior officials might be sent to prison and all their blood exchanges. But once this reached this point, they would not let the hostages we had in their hands, and they would join forces with the surrounding local governments to attack us in various names.

I said, "The ships we seized by you, all the hostages, and the Seahawk himself, are sent here."

He also lit a cigarette and asked me with a smile: "Your condition is too big. You have seized our ships and the ships from Seahawk Island. Why don't you give them back to us? If you include these supplies, you will grab more than we have taken from you."

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

Helanting said: "That's our ability. If you have the ability, you can fight back and grab it. Why? You can rob us of our first, and we can't rob yours. If you say so, should the territory in the war era be taken out and re-demarcated?"

Helanting is extremely domineering.

He said, "It seems you don't really want to talk."

Helanting said: "If you don't want to talk to you, you won't have been talking to you for so long."

He said, "You are a lion's mouth, let's talk."

Helanting said, "Then what do you want."

He said: "It is impossible to send the sea eagle. It is feasible to let us exchange hostages, but it is impossible to get us to send your ship supplies back."

It seems that the three major conditions we have put forward are that they only intend to agree to exchange hostages.

He Lanting looked coldly: "Then there is no need to talk about it. If you have the ability, go back."

He didn't speak, he was thinking about something.

For them, if they can't talk and cannot exchange the hostages as soon as possible and expose the matter to the media, they will definitely cause a stir, and public opinion will definitely force them to have nowhere to hide. They will not only lose their hats, but will even be sent to jail.

Helanting seized this and talked to them.

The more you drag it, the worse they are.

The more they dragged, the more uncomfortable they felt.

At the beginning, they wanted to rely on procrastination to ask us to propose negotiation conditions ourselves, but they never expected that we would act so quickly and effectively, and quickly reverse the whole situation and transform passive into initiative.

Everything is in our hands.

In this case, they have to negotiate and demand peace, and they always have to pay some price, otherwise why should they negotiate?

He said, "Let's do it like this, hostages are exchanged, we add some money. How about it."
