Gothel was really a qualified coordinator. He found that the two sides were increasingly at odds with each other and decisively stopped the dialogue.
There is a lot of anger on both sides, and there is no point in talking about it anymore. It is better to stop temporarily and let everyone think calmly.
In order to avoid suspicion, he even just sent Qu Jianlei to the door of the office and asked Li Ang to accompany him for a while.
Li Ang told Qu Jianlei, "Don't worry, Sir, Wanmi will try his best to facilitate negotiations and prevent you from suffering a loss."
For Wanmi Mining, being able to coordinate the grievances between these two major forces is an achievement that can be shown off in itself.
Qu Jianlei was still a little aggrieved, "I really gave them face. If I weren't worried about affecting your family's production, huh..."
Then he remembered something more, "Gotel wants to avoid suspicion, I can understand it, but you tell him not to make any more surprise attacks."
He didn't mention the consequences, but he believed that the other party should be an understanding person.
"Don't worry about this," Li Ang quickly assured, "the pass issue has made us lose face."
He felt that chatting with this Supreme Being was a bit stressful, so he couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you see Brother Baijiyu?"
Qu Jianlei definitely couldn't say that he was the only one in the team.
He replied calmly, "We are taking the elite route. There are not many people. He is preparing for war on the ship."
Li Ang had no intention of testing, and nodded after hearing this, "They are indeed elite. Your warriors are too strong."
Qu Jianlei returned to the dilapidated merchant ship and had no intention of putting the merchant ship into storage. He didn't even put away the attack ship.
He was not worried about the other party's sneak attack. Xiao Hu had already quietly invaded the other party's network and could detect any slightest move.
The reason for not entering the shipyard is simply to achieve a faster reaction speed in case of a fight.
After Li Ang returned, Gothel took the initiative to call him over and asked what Rhodiola rosea meant.
In fact, there is no need to ask more. Just looking at the status of the ship on the other side, you can tell that the other side is ready to take action at any time.
But Sharif was still very angry and felt that the other party was too disrespectful and lacked the sincerity to negotiate.
He even complained about Gothel, saying that you didn't coordinate as much as you could and just helped each other speak.
Although Gothel is more like a businessman, he is not without temper.
"I've been very restrained, okay? It was you who were wrong from the beginning, and Wanmi helped to handle the documents."
"You two want to save face, but Wanmi doesn't want to lose face? Let me remind you... they noticed our arrival early!"
"Yes," Li Ang nodded when he heard this, "They judged it to be a warship and almost fell out with me!"
Sharif was not a fool, so he thought for a moment and asked, "Do they have observation satellites outside the atmosphere?"
"Probably not," Li Ang shook his head, "If there are satellites, even if we can't observe them, those two companies can."
There are indeed satellites in the sky above Godley, mainly for warning purposes.
But there are only three mines in total, and everyone knows how many satellites they belong to.
If a new satellite appears and the three companies communicate with each other, as long as no one acknowledges it, they will definitely be destroyed immediately.
When Sharif heard this, his face became a little ugly, "Are there other warships outside?"
He felt that this matter was a bit out of character. Two battleships were needed to provide security for a mere mine?
"Not before," Li Ang knew what he was thinking and replied in a deep voice, "Last time Sigvar came to attack, they didn't find out in advance."
They have sent additional warships to prevent you from sneak attacks.
Sharif could also understand what he said, so he looked at the military A-class, "You didn't find the battleship?"
Military A-level people are a little uncomfortable with this. I'm here to support you, not to attack you!
However, the opponent was the Supreme after all, so he couldn't be too offended, so he could only answer calmly.
"Sir Sharif, it is you who requested that the intensity of the investigation be reduced to avoid alerting others."
"But I can be sure that the other party can detect us, but we don't know anything about it. This has something to do with the stealth performance!"
Sharif's face became darker and darker, "In other words, the starship responsible for guarding the other party is not an ordinary armed merchant ship?"
"That's right," the military's A-level nodded and silently added in his heart: There is a high possibility that it is a standard warship.
But even if he hadn't said it, would Sharif have thought of it?
The next moment, he sighed and frowned, "What kind of force is this, so unreasonable?"
Military A-level couldn't help it anymore, "Sir Sharif, I think it is necessary to remind you that you went too far first!"
Military warships followed, but this was the result of coordination by the transit star government - after all, the nature of this matter was quite bad.
In fact, the relationship between the military and the Anti-Smuggling Department is not very good.
The Anti-Smuggling Department is a vertical management department that is directly responsible to the headquarters and the empire and does not accept assignments from others.
They even have a duty to supervise military warships and prevent military smuggling.
It is said that the military is the largest violent machine, and their starships and anti-smuggling departments have no power to investigate, but that is not the case.
The empire is too big. If we want to firmly grasp the military power, we must restrict the military from two aspects-financial power and personnel power.
If the military can make money through smuggling, not only will the officers and soldiers become corrupt over time, but they will also develop independence.
——There is no need for imperial financial allocation, so it will not be so easy for the empire to command the army.
So it's not surprising that the military's current attitude is - I can accompany you, but I dare to say things I don't like.
It was your people who messed around, and now they have hit a brick wall. Instead, you blame the other party for being too tough?
Why doesn't Sharif know this? If the military could say this after the other party left, it was already giving him face.
He thought for a while and felt that it was not appropriate to confront him head-on - what if I really became a scapegoat?
So he said distressedly, "I shouldn't have taken on this task, but what should I do now?"
After a long silence, Gothel spoke up, "Otherwise, forget it, it's obviously a retired warship and is not in the order of your anti-smuggling department."
He really felt that the other party was too pretentious, "It's okay if you bully ordinary people. If you want to run wild with these people, you're not strong enough."
Sharif sighed again after hearing this, "I know, but I also want to save face... I can't explain the conditions after negotiating this."
Gothel spoke weakly, "People have given reasons, so you just say that the warship was dismantled, but it was decommissioned anyway."
Sharif replied awkwardly, "But that starship is really not that old. It was retired to get new warships."
Gothel became more and more helpless, "So, what are you doing... The empire pays for the installation of new warships!"
Sharif glanced at him and said, "If we don't call it poor, the allocation will only get smaller and smaller. You don't even understand this, do you?"
"Sir, you are really thinking too much," the military grade A couldn't bear it. "In addition to appropriations, you also have a lot of money in your account!"
This is the most unbalanced point in the military. We can only get the funding, but you not only get the funding, but you also get private income!
"Redeem the battleship?" Sharif thought carefully and shook his head. "Although there is money in the account, I really can't agree to it."
The military A-level smiled faintly, "Even if it's a little cheaper, would you rather buy a new one?"
"I would rather buy a new one," Sharif nodded. "You are right. The empire pays for the new one. If I redeem it, I will be scolded."
Military A-level raised his eyes and looked at the ceiling, "Yes, financial money must not be wasted..."
The negotiations continued the next day, and this time, Sharif really faced reality.
There was no way, the military who came with him didn’t support his appeal, so what else could he do?
So this time, his request was: You don’t have to return it, but you must destroy it and record a video and send it to me.
This is the true meaning of negotiation. Everyone puts forward their various demands, seeks common ground while reserving differences, and finally finds a solution.
Of course, recording such a video is also very shameful, and he asked the other party not to leak it.
Once leaked, if anything, the inspection-free pass will at least be impossible to use again.
Can the pass still be used? For Qu Jianlei, this was good news, "If the people from the Anti-Smuggling Department find trouble again, I won't be polite."
"Looking for trouble again?" Sharif glanced at him and replied sternly, "Whatever you do, I will never be the one to negotiate."
After causing such a big thing, who dares to make trouble again? It's really not a question of IQ.
"Then it's settled," Qu Jianlei nodded, thinking silently, "Xiaohu, it's not difficult to fake the video, right?"
"It's too simple," the big-headed butterfly began to turn, "Even if No. 2 on 8384 doesn't work, we still have No. 1 on 3344."
This is the code name it gave to the computing unit. Number 1 on the high imitation warship is worth 50 million, and its computing power is not that powerful.
Doesn't it depend on the composition ability and detail of the fake video?
However, Qu Jianlei also knew very well that a forgery would be a forgery after all. Even if it was Xiaohu's hand, it would not be perfect.
In fact, in terms of analytical capabilities, even terminals with poor computing power can find doubts.
Construction is difficult, especially when you have to strive for perfection, but it is easy to question. Just pick out the areas that you feel are inappropriate.
After confirming with Xiaohu, Qu Jianlei said in a deep voice, "What if I gave you the video and someone picked on me?"
"Faulting?" Sharif sneered. I'm afraid you don't know my status in the anti-smuggling department. "That's impossible."
"It's very possible," Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "If you can find trouble the first time, you won't find trouble the second time?"
Sharif was startled when he heard this, and he honestly said that after advancing to the highest level, he really seldom worries about such small things.
He feels that he is the most powerful person. Is there any problem with the arrangement?
But think about it again, this possibility really exists objectively.
The people below who are actually doing things are really very lawless at times, and they dare to take risks just for the sake of small profits.
Not to mention the highest, so what if it is above the highest? The wages of avarice is death!
