Chapter 356: Negotiations Fail, Time to Get to Work

Soon, the Chinese leadership received a telegram from the United States.

Soon, Old Xu was also summoned and saw the telegram.

Old Xu smiled slightly and said, "This matter is easy to resolve. Just reply to them and tell them that we paid for the plane. Let them do whatever they want."

"Yes, yes, that's what I think too."

Another elderly man also smiled happily and said.

The proposal was quickly approved, and a letter was sent directly to the US.

When Governor-General Smith saw the telegram, he was so angry he was practically fuming.

"Fuck, how dare they? These damn yellow pigs, what do you mean they bought it with money? It was stolen in the first place, these damn thieves."

Send a telegram to Commander Norrköping, telling him to send the fleet directly to China's doorstep, and if they dare not give us an explanation, open fire immediately.

Yes, that's how unreasonable they are. They don't care whether you bought it or how you got it.

If you don't give me an explanation, I'll beat you up. It's that simple.

Commander Norrk is the military commander-in-chief stationed in Xiao Rizi.

It's not difficult at all for a child to travel from here to the East China Sea.

In fact, Norrk is already at sea. They had already set off when they received the telegram from Yamamoto Ichiro that Old Mo had been discovered.

Unbeknownst to them, at that very moment, Old Mo also had someone drive the cruiser he had stolen from Yamamoto Ichiro towards the East China Sea.

Yes, the US fleet is coming, and it will definitely be coming to the East China Sea. If the US sends its cruisers here to search, it will surely find them.

Unfortunately, Old Mo returned to Hong Kong first before sending someone out in a cruiser.

Although they were closer, they were still not as fast as the US fleet.

At this moment, the US fleet has approached the Chinese coast and is heading straight for Shanghai.

Shanghai is the largest city in China. If China does not agree to their demands, they will open fire and raze Shanghai to the ground.

That's just how unreasonable they are.

Their fleet was quite impressive, consisting of an aircraft carrier and numerous cruisers, destroyers, and other ships. In total, there were twenty-three ships.

China has also made preparations, and various long-range artillery pieces have been deployed.

If you dare to fire, we dare to fire too. If you dare to bombard our city, we dare to sink your ships.

Tensions were high between the two sides, and a major battle was imminent.

Noker was trembling with anger. He never expected that China would be so tough now.

With no other option, Norrköping immediately convened an emergency meeting.

The final decision was to send Chief of Staff Belfin to land and negotiate with the Chinese. If negotiations failed, then war would follow.

In fact, they brought their fleet here to coerce and to negotiate.

War between two countries is not something you can just start whenever you want.

Soon, Belfin, accompanied by several guards and two translators, arrived at the shore in a small boat.

The Chinese side treated them with courtesy and sent people over to pick them up.

Belfin was also visiting China for the first time. Seeing that even the largest cities in China looked like this, he felt even more contempt for China.

Those nostrils are practically pointing to the sky. These yellow-skinned pigs are just a bunch of country bumpkins.

At the negotiating table, Belfin looked down on the Chinese high-ranking officials opposite him with utter disdain.

"General Belfin, what brings you here to discuss with us?"

"This is what the Chinese leadership asked."

"Hmph. You know perfectly well what I'm here to talk about today. Don't you know? Your China is a thief; you stole six American planes. You can't deny that, can you?"

The Chinese official smiled and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "General Belfin is joking. Our China does not have the ability to go to your United States to steal airplanes. Therefore, what you said is nonsense."

Upon hearing the translator's words, General Belfin became furious.

He took the photo directly from his briefcase and slapped it on the table.

"Look at yourselves, look at yourselves! You still dare to deny it. Look, doesn't this plane have our American symbols, our American flag?"

The Chinese leadership took the photo, looked at it, and smiled.

"General Belfin, the photo is correct; it is indeed an American plane. However, we purchased it, not stolen as you claim. Therefore, General Belfin, you have wronged us."

"I'm framing you? That's ridiculous. Caught red-handed, and you still dare to deny it?"

Belfin was furious.

The Chinese high-ranking official laughed and said, "Indeed, we have been wronged. We only care about spending money to buy them. As for where the planes came from, we really don't know and don't care. So, General Belfin, we hope that you will report the truth to your superiors when you return."

"Bullshit. Who did you buy it from? Were you Americans?"

Belfin shouted angrily.

The Chinese executive smiled faintly and said, "I'm sorry, this is a trade secret and I cannot disclose it."

"Fak".

Belfin slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

"It seems you have no remorse. I have received orders from above. If you do not give us an explanation, we have the right to open fire."

We'll bomb your Shanghai to smithereens. We don't care how many people die; you'll regret it.

A threat, a blatant threat.

A high-ranking Chinese official smiled and said, "You Americans have always been this domineering; we're used to it. You're being unreasonable and insist on shelling us; what can we do?"

However, we are confident that we can sink half of your ships before you can flatten us.

"Fuck, you, you, you dare threaten me?"

Belk became even more enraged.

These uncivilized yellow-skinned pigs dared to speak to him like that, which made him very angry.

A high-ranking Chinese official stated, "This is not a threat; it is a helpless act of self-defense. If you dare to invade us, we dare to retaliate in self-defense."

"Back then, even a coalition of so many countries couldn't defeat us; now, you're even less capable."

That's right, China was the first country to defeat the United States, without exception.

That's how confident we are.

Belfin clenched his fists and said angrily, "I have only one request now: return our six planes. Can you do that?"

A high-ranking official from China also stood up and said, "Impossible. We paid real money for that. We can't just hand it over because you say so. That's robbery."

Belfin was so angry that smoke was coming out of his nose.

"Very well. I originally pitied you and didn't want to hit you, but you're being ungrateful, so don't blame me. Hmph, let's go, we're not talking anymore."

After saying that, Belfin stood up abruptly.

He thought someone would come out to stop him and beg him to sit down and continue the conversation.

Unfortunately, there isn't any. There isn't any at all.

Those who had negotiated with him simply watched him leave without reacting at all.
