In fact, Smith and others indeed felt their hearts flutter.
Longcun has previously disclosed the existence of the Southern Heavenly Gate.
Similarly, some of their intelligence also knows that Longcun is cooperating with Polar Bears, and the content of the cooperation is the Southern Heavenly Gate!
These matters are confidential, but they are not difficult for them to obtain.
After all, Polar Bears are not part of Longcun. Although the Polar Bears seem to be a complete village on the surface, they are not united internally.
See the Old Polar Bears. How did they manage to take down the Old Polar Bears without shedding a single drop of blood? What was it that they relied on?
They may know about the existence of the Southern Heavenly Gate, but they are not very well-informed about the specifics.
After all, only a small number of Polar Bears know the core secrets.
If their people could infiltrate to that level, Polar Bears would have nothing to do with it……
However, even so, from the scattered information they have, they can also know that Polar Bears have gained considerable benefits from Longcun!
For example, the information their intelligence system knew about was that a low-flying, sci-fi-styled aircraft filled with sci-fi atmosphere appeared in Longcun.
Thinking of these, the eyes of Smith and others flickered slightly.
But in a moment of thought, recalling their recent losses, the members of the Round Table forcibly suppressed the thoughts in their minds.
The Southern Heavenly Gate is indeed very enticing.
But their losses this time amounted to billions!
The unit of a trillion is their Green Currency, and that's before it depreciated!
Can such a huge loss be made up with just one Southern Heavenly Gate?
Moreover, considering the nature of Longcun, would they really give them the technology from the Southern Heavenly Gate?
On this point, both Smith and Field and others expressed strong doubts!
And not only Longcun, but also their own situation. Even if they were in Longcun's position, they could not share such groundbreaking technology as the Southern Heavenly Gate with others.
Compared to Longcun's "sincerity," they were more inclined to believe that this was some sort of conspiracy or cunning plan played by Longcun!
"Mr. Zhao, what do you think a cooperation project on the Southern Heavenly Gate can do to make up for our losses during this period?"
After what seemed like an eternity, Smith's voice rang out again.
Before Zhao Shanshui could respond, Field's voice followed closely:
"That's right, Mr. Zhao, and let's not even discuss the authenticity of your Southern Heavenly Gate plan. Even if your plan is real, do you think this cooperation can make up for our losses?"
"Because of you, our Black and White Eagle Village sustained direct and indirect economic losses amounting to tens of trillions! Is your Southern Heavenly Gate made of gold? How could it be worth so much?"
With Field's voice, the other members of the Round Table also began to speak up.
Criticisms, opposition, doubts...
A series of voices, unceasingly!
The entire conference room seemed to have no one in favor of the Southern Heavenly Gate, or no one willing to use the so-called Southern Heavenly Gate cooperation plan as compensation for their losses.
Faced with all this, Zhao Shansui remained unmoved.
It wasn't until the voices of the crowd gradually subsided that Zhao Shanshui spoke slowly and steadily:
"Since you gentlemen are unwilling, then we can only express our regret. There are five conditions; if you are not willing to accept the Southern Heavenly Gate, then you can only choose from the remaining four..."
"If you are all dissatisfied, then there is no need to continue the negotiation today. If you gentlemen are determined to lead the world towards destruction, we cannot stop it. It is up to you to choose..."
After a pause, without waiting for Field and the others to speak, Zhao Shanshui continued:
"By the way, I'd like to remind you all that we have invited the Camels to join the Southern Heavenly Gate plan. Once the Origin Spaceport is completed, they too will step into the stars and explore the moon, Mars, and even the entire universe alongside us and the Polar Bears..."
Upon hearing this, Field and the others' faces immediately turned as ugly as the bottom of a pot.
What does that mean?
Is that to say they are going to throw in the towel and leave just because they don't like what was said?
What does inviting the Camels to join the plan mean?
To tell them that in the future, the Camels might also step into space, and their Black and White Eagle Village would become the indigenous people of Blue Star?
Are they indigenous?
Who were the people who ten years ago begged and borrowed to join their international space station?
They were playing with space stations while Longcun was still playing with mud on the ground!
Now, Zhao Shanshui actually dared to belittle and humiliate them like this!
"Your Excellency, do you really think that our Black and White Eagle Village dares not to fight?"
Field's face was dark and he clenched his fists, coldly looking at Zhao Shanshui and coldly speaking:
"No, no, no, I never thought that. Just now, I already said that the hands and feet are on your own bodies. The choice is up to you; we have no right to interfere. After all, we never interfere with the internal affairs of other villages..."
Facing Field's unfriendly voice, Zhao Shanshui slightly shook his head and responded.
After speaking, before Field and the others could say much, Zhao Shanshui directly got up from his seat and at the same time said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, since there's nothing more to discuss, I'll leave first. You all take your ease..."
After saying that, Zhao Shanshui turned and left directly.
Meanwhile, in the place where Field and the others couldn't see, Zhao Shanshui quietly reached into his pocket and pressed a button on a communicator.
Almost at the same time as Zhao Shanshui pressed the button, on the sea surface just a few hundred kilometers away from Black and White Eagle Village.
One by one, the black fish slowly rise to the surface...
At the same time, within Longcun, the lids of the original wooden launch wells on the surface were quietly opened...
...
Looking at Zhao Shanshui's decisive departure, Field and the others had faces as still as water!
This is not the answer they want to see!
Although they hadn't really expected to receive a couple of tens of trillions in compensation, even just two trillion was far from satisfying their appetites!
There are dozens of people here, and each of them has a, or even a group of, wealthy families behind them!
How much can two trillion do?
Among the people present here, even divided up, each person wouldn't get a morsel!
And let alone the three billion peasants outside.
Although they have never regarded those peasants as anything important, now they need those peasants to act as cannon fodder for them!
Therefore, they can't give nothing at all either; at least they should give those people a sip of soup while they eat the meat.
In this way, what's left of the two trillion?
They have gone to so much trouble, risking offending the whole world, just for these two hundred and sixty billion yuan, which is only two hundred and sixty billion yuan in Longcun's currency?
As the crowd's faces grew dark and Zhao Shanshui's footsteps were about to step out of the conference room door, a figure, walking with some haste, quickly approached Smith and leaned in to say something in his ear.
The next moment, Smith's expression changed abruptly!
After that, before Field and the others could ask, Smith quickly looked towards Zhao Shanshui and spoke directly:
"Wait!!"
The sudden, loud voice caused everyone to stop.
Especially Field and the others, at this moment, they all subconsciously cast their eyes on Smith.
However, facing the gaze of the crowd, Smith did not respond. Instead, he stared at Zhao Shanshui and said:
"Mr. Zhao, we can accept your conditions, but we also have conditions..."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shanshui's mouth slightly curved up while his back was to the crowd.
He knew that their plan had worked!
At the same time, he had also completely understood the bottom line of these people from Black and White Eagle Village!
At this time, Smith's voice rang out again:
"Mr. Zhao, we can refrain from using the mushrooms and withdraw all our forces from the desert side. But we demand that the Camels must publicly apologize to us!"
"In addition, the two trillion, six hundred and eighty-six billion yuan in compensation funds and resources must be fully handed over to us!"
"And the technologies that Mr. Zhao just brought out, we also want all of them!"
"And the Southern Heavenly Gate plan of yours, we want to join as well!"
Hearing this, Zhao Shanshui couldn't help but laugh coldly: "Mr. Smith, are you kidding me?"
It's not surprising that Smith wants the Camels to apologize. Although such an apology has no real significance, it can help Black and White Eagle Village save some face.
Although now the whole world knows that Black and White Eagle has become a clown.
But that doesn't prevent them from continuing to gild the lily on their own faces. After all, even a bearer of false virtues has a monument to maintain...
But, you demanding an apology from the Camels is one thing.
And yet, you want the two trillion yuan in funds, so many advanced technologies, and even the Southern Heavenly Gate plan!
You want everything and you want it all, as if you are entitled to everything?
If this gets out, those who know will know that Black and White Eagle is shameless, and those who don't know might even think that Longcun is doing charity work!
"Mr. Zhao, I've never joked around. That's our bottom line. If you're willing to give us these things, then this matter will end..."
"Ended? " Zhao Shanshui coldly looked at Smith for a moment and then coldly laughed: "
"Mr. Smith, the five conditions I listed earlier are all single-choice items. If you want to join the Southern Heavenly Gate plan, it means you voluntarily give up other compensation!"
"Conversely, if you choose the other conditions, you will also automatically give up the remaining conditions!"
"Here, I want to remind Mr. Smith that we are here for negotiations, not to do charity!"
After speaking, Zhao Shanshui turned around again and headed towards the conference room door once more.
Watching Zhao Shanshui's resolute figure prepare to leave directly without hesitation, Smith, who has been playing the good cop, also looked rather unpleasant.
However, before Zhao Shanshui's footsteps were about to step out of the gate, he still bit his teeth and spoke:
"We make one more concession. Two trillion, six hundred billion, and eighty-six million in compensation, along with all the technologies of Origin Spaceport, Quasar solid rocket engine technology, and the technologies of Judgment Drone, Thunder Drone, ThUNDER Drone and Swallow 20/21 fighter jets!"
Upon finishing his speech, before Zhao Shanshui could respond, Smith continued:
"This is our final bottom line. If you agree, then this matter will end here!"
"Otherwise, we will also have to let the whole world die with us!"
"Mr. Zhao, believe me, you'll regret it then!"
Just now, Smith received a message from the military, saying that there were several more black fish appearing in the same sea area where the Longcun black fish had appeared earlier.
And these black fish had already opened the lids of the launch wells as soon as they surfaced.
Their reconnaissance satellites could even clearly see the logs inside the launch wells.
It's not just black fish. At the same time, their monitoring satellites discovered a large number of gradually opened launch wells on the Longcun side.
All those launch wells were the original wooden launch wells in Longcun that they had already grasped the coordinates for.
Just like the black fish, through their reconnaissance satellites, they could also clearly see the logs inside those launch wells.
Even just those launch wells, their reconnaissance satellites even captured images of Longcun's mobile wooden launch vehicles!
The logs on those launch vehicles had already been raised up high.
They were clearly in a state of readiness!
Smith understood what this meant very well!
Maybe Zhao Shanshui himself was a signal. As soon as the negotiation here failed, Longcun would very likely strike first!
Although it's very likely that this is just a smokescreen deliberately released by Longcun.
But Smith dares not take the gamble!
If it's true, the fun will be huge!
They were just trying to use the mushroom threat against Longcun and wanted to gain benefits from Longcun in this way, not really willing to fight to the death!
These things, Longcun may not know. Even if Longcun could guess their thoughts, can they bet whether they are really willing to fight to the death?
If Longcun mistakenly believes that Black and White Eagle Village is really planning to turn over the table and fight to the death, and then makes a move in advance.
They might as well cry themselves to death!
That's why, seeing that Zhao Shanshui was about to leave, Smith had no choice but to step forward...
Facing Smith's voice, Zhao Shanshui's steps paused.
He then turned around slowly, fixing his gaze on Smith, and said gravely:
"The technology of Swallow 20 and Swallow 21 fighter jets cannot be given to you. As for the other technologies, such as Thunder, Thunder God, and Judgment, they can be given to you. The technology of Origin Spaceport and Quasar solid rocket engine can also be given to you. But between the two options of technology and compensation, you can only choose one!"
"If you choose the funds, we will no longer provide the technology. Conversely, if you choose the technology, we will no longer provide the compensation!"
Upon hearing this, Smith replied without hesitation, "No! We need both the funds and the technology!"
"This is impossible. You can only choose between the two options. Thunder God, Thunder, and Judgment are already extra gifts for you. Don't be greedy!"
Zhao Shanshui said coldly.
Smith bit his teeth.
His eyes fixed deadlocked on Zhao Shanshui.
Finally, he could only grit his teeth and speak:
"We can hand over Dongyin Village to you, and we can also fully withdraw from Dongzhou. All we need are the compensation funds and the full technology of Origin Spaceport, Quasar solid rocket engine, Judgment Drone, Thunder Drone, Thunder God Drone, and the full technology of Swallow 20 fighter jet!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shanshui's eyes narrowed slightly.
Full withdrawal from Dongzhou?
And handing over Dongyin Village to Longcun?
This condition was indeed beyond Zhao Shanshui's expectations.
"Agree to it, but we don't want Dongyin Village. Let them order Dongyin Village to publicly apologize to us and compensate for all the losses we have suffered in the past. At the same time, require them, in their own name, to order all villages in the world to ban the export of any grain, oil, and other strategic materials to Dongyin Village!"
While Zhao Shanshui was deep in thought, a voice suddenly came from Zhao Shanshui's earphone.
