Li Hongtian looked at Victor with a smile.
Victor's face stiffened slightly. They, Austria, were manipulated by Long Yan, and all negotiations were based on bargaining chips.
Now Austria does not have any leverage to do this.
If they can't grasp the dragon flame, they can only increase the price.
"We in Austria can offer a price that satisfies Long Yan and facilitate this deal."
Li Hongtian smiled faintly: "Then what is Austria's sincerity?"
Victor said coldly: "We can let Long Yan build a railway in Austria for free. Long Yan only needs to use technology. We in Austria will provide any other materials."
Li Hongtian laughed after hearing this.
"Is this your Austrian sincerity?"
"Do you think we, Long Yan, lack that little money?"
"If you Austria wants our Dragon Flame technology, just say so."
Li Hongtian looked at General Victor with disdain and said calmly: "I, Long Yan, have accumulated a million troops in your Austrian port. If I really want to attack your Austria, can your Austria be able to defend it in its current state?"
Victor's face was dark.
Austria is currently at war with Prussia and does not have any extra troops to resist the Longyan Army.
And even if there were, under the absolute force of the Long Yan Army, it would be difficult for their Austrian army to hold on.
This is clearly in danger for Victor.
However, I also think Victor has expressed an attitude. The Long Yan Army can attack at any time, and the initiative is in their hands. But whether the Long Yan Army will launch an attack mainly depends on Austria's attitude.
It's the same thing when Austria is building railways.
It's just a matter of how much it costs.
Thinking of this, Victor took a deep breath.
Li Hongtian stared at Victor and said calmly: "General Victor has only two roads in front of you. If you want to get the port back, you have to pay the price."
"We will discuss cooperation later."
"Otherwise, just talk about this cooperation and don't mention the port issue."
"For us Long Yan, no matter which choice we make, the outcome is actually the same."
Li Hongtian told Victor with great certainty that if we talk about the previous time, Li Hongtian had given Victor a good look.
Now it is time to clearly tell Victor that the initiative in building this railway is in his hands.
There was no way Victor could refuse!
After thinking about this clearly, Victor finally let out his breath.
In the past three days and nights, the outcome of discussions among the senators in the House of Lords, including Victor, was that Long Yan could negotiate for railway construction.
But the port city occupied by Long Yan must return to Austria.
But it is not possible to stimulate Long Yan now, Austria can give in to the benefits.
Their calculation was quite good, but their opponent was Li Hongtian.
This is Long Yan’s Minister of Household Affairs.
Li Hongtian took advantage of the situation and forced Austria to have no way out.
Victor could only say helplessly: "Yes, we in Austria can give up more benefits, and the specific details can be discussed."
Li Hongtian laughed and stood up. Although he was in Austria, this place felt like his own home.
He poured a cup of tea for Victor and said, "Okay, now we can have a good chat."
Victor savored the aroma of tea.
The two men negotiated.
Negotiation is a war without smoke, and Victor and Li Hongtian understand this well.
Although Long Yan took the initiative, Victor did not let Li Hongtian manipulate his cooperation. He tried every means to deduct a little benefit from Li Hongtian.
Li Hongtian also understood that soldiers are also deceitful!
The same is true for negotiations, so when it comes to cooperation, Li Hongtian does everything he can to ensure that every step is taken.
This is simply a perfect offensive and defensive battle.
Austria and Long Yan originally thought it would be a protracted battle.
But the negotiation between the two people did not last more than two hours, and the two people reached a strategic agreement.
When the Austrian congressmen saw these two people again, they both had smiles on their faces.
When both parties were very confused.
Victor smiled and said: "Mr. Li Hongtian, you are really a great talent, I am ashamed of myself. We in Austria fully recognize this kind of cooperation."
"General, you are so humble. You are a great talent."
After the two exchanged business boasts, no one understood what was going on.
When Victor went in before, he looked like he was facing a formidable enemy. How could he look like this now?
Everyone was very stunned and had no idea what was going on.
However, Li Hongtian raised his hand and saluted and said: "I have been bothering you for many days. Now that the cooperation has been negotiated and confirmed, I have to rush back as soon as possible."
"After that, I will send someone to confirm the details of the cooperation with you, General."
"It would be better if this matter is implemented as soon as possible."
"Yeah, I feel the same way."
Victor nodded, feeling that Li Hongtian was right.
After the cooperation was negotiated, Li Hongtian left Austria on the same day. Although he left in a hurry, he was not in a hurry.
Li Hongtian didn't forget anything he needed to do.
As for why he left in such a hurry, it was because it was already long enough and Li Hongtian couldn't waste any more time here.
There are still many things waiting for him to deal with at the port.
What's more, before he came here, he also received a battle report from General Ling Chen.
The Long Yan Army led by General Ling Chen went deep into Europe alone and was now entrenched in Hanover, but it was attacked by the Holy Crusaders.
General Ling Chen is now in a very dangerous situation.
His 200,000-strong army had no supplies or assistance in Hanover.
Although they have already established contact with Prussia, Prussia is still counting on Long Yan to help him after these years of war.
With a severe shortage of supplies, the Long Yan Army was now at an absolute disadvantage.
After Liu Zheng abandoned the stall and left, all such matters were left to Li Hongtian.
Although Li Hongtian didn't know how to march and fight, he knew that fighting was nothing more than soldiers and money.
He didn't know how to organize troops, but he knew how to deliver supplies to Ling Chen.
Before he could completely handle Ling Chen's matter, Liu Zheng arranged such a cooperation.
Now he must return to the port city quickly.
After watching Li Hongtian leave, General Victor's smiling face suddenly turned gloomy.
At the same time, there was a very complicated look at the direction Li Hongtian was leaving.
He was completely screwed over this deal, and Austria did not gain any benefits at all from this negotiation.
"General, have we got our port city back?"
Victor glanced at the person who asked the question and said calmly: "If you want to know, just ask Long Yanren and tell me whether you agree or not!"
After saying this, Victor left angrily.
They achieved all the goals Austria wanted to achieve, but they paid an extremely heavy price.
