Yurisses clearly understood his personality very well. The constant bad news made his brain hurt, but fifteen minutes later, he managed to calm himself down.
Joseph didn't leave, Sitting on the couch in the president's office, Looking at Yurisses, there was an unconcealable worry in his eyes. Vice President Joseph is being mocked as Yurisses's number one lackey, But in fact, The two of them had a very strong personal relationship, Outside of business, is a real old friend we've known for years, Recent events have put Yurisses in a very passive position, The pressure was like a mountain, The presidency was also on the verge of collapse, But even so, Joseph did not give up on Yurisses, It had to be said that his firm attitude had misled quite a number of intelligent people, Although Yurisses's position swayed left and right, he did not turn into a puppet. This kind of firm support made it easy for the outside world to think that Yurisses was not at the end of its rope and that Yurisses still had trump cards. However, in reality, this persistence was Joseph's sole persistence out of personal feelings.
Such an attitude had even exceeded the scope of loyalty.
"Mr. President, should we notify Secretary of State Edra to suspend the call with the Divine Continent Empire now?"
Joseph went silently to the water dispenser and got two cups of water. He handed one to Yurisses and looked at the ashtray full of ashes and the cigar in his hand. He frowned slightly and took the initiative to break the silence.
"Suspended?"
Yurisses raised his head in surprise and asked, "Why should we postpone it?"
"This is only my personal suggestion."
Joseph said indifferently, "On behalf of an old friend, I suggest that the negotiations be postponed." Your emotions are not suitable for negotiation at all, After all, what you're going to face next is not the leader of a small country. Losing a few bones can make the other party ecstatic. It's simply not in line with the status and status of the Divine Continent Empire. You're going to face the supreme leader of a super power, Mr. President … No, Yurisses, you have to stay calm. "
"Oh, calm down."
Yurisses nodded. "Of course, I'm calm."
He smiled, his expression completely calm, but his eyes still flashed with hysteria, "But Joseph, do you know what it means for us to postpone the negotiations?" Every minute we drag on now, we can cause even more damage. Mels Weapons Research Institute, Porat Industrial Zone, Morin Base, Caslott, don't you know what that means? Lin Xuanyuan doesn't have any scruples at all. As long as he wants to kill, he won't care about the civilians or the army. In the eyes of those people, other than him, everyone else is just a pile of weeds. If we don't talk to the Divine Continent Empire, can we talk to Lin Xuanyuan? Talk about what? Talking about human rights? Or morality? These things couldn't stop him at all! "The actions of the Divine Continent Empire must be stopped. Even if we give in temporarily, it would be better than starting a war now!"
Joseph looked at Yurisses, but his gaze was not on Yurisses at all. He looked absent-minded for a moment and whispered, "Other than what he cared about, everyone else is just a pile of weeds? That sounds familiar."
"Other than what I love, everyone in the world is a puppy!"
Yurisses coldly said something in substandard Chinese, and then sneered, "This is what the emperor said when he was young. See, how similar are an emperor and a Lin Xuanyuan?" Lin Xuanyuan went even further than the Emperor. Moreover, compared to the emperor in his youth, he has more capital now. Whether it is resources or strength, he can be even crazier than the emperor when he was young. He must be stabilized. Even if it is temporary, those who oppose him will soon appear. As long as we can determine Lin Xuanyuan's location, we will no longer have any misgivings. "
"So you want to negotiate with the Divine Continent Empire? To stabilize Lin Xuanyuan?"
Joseph asked.
"Is something wrong?"
Yurisses said calmly.
"If you can stabilize Lin Xuanyuan, perhaps you should negotiate with the royal family. Divine Continent Empire … There's no point in negotiating with them."
Joseph shook his head.
"…"
Yurisses ' ferocious expression flashed and he was a little angry. Of course, it was not towards Joseph, but towards the royal family.
Negotiate with the royal family, This matter, Yurisses has tried more than a hundred times, But ever since the first conversation ended in displeasure, The royal family no longer paid any attention to the United States. It was as if the royal family's acknowledged invincible man no longer cared about his younger brother's life or death. Then came Lin Xuanyuan's massacre in the United States. This could be seen as a signal for the Divine Continent to start a war, but it could also be seen as the royal family's frenzied revenge for Wang Fuyu's capture.
It wasn't that Yurisses hadn't thought about making the Emperor regret it. And with his current capital, It was easy for him to do this. As long as he killed Wang Fuyu, he didn't believe that the Emperor would be indifferent. However, once Wang Fuyu died, the whole thing would become a dead end. The Emperor would only go even crazier and unscrupulously fight with the United States to increase their losses. If this continued, it would be a completely mutually detrimental battle.
Since Wang Fuyu could not be killed, he naturally could not let go. If he did not let go, the losses of the United States would continue to increase.
Under such circumstances, negotiating with the Divine Continent Empire and exerting pressure on Lin Xuanyuan and the royal family through the Divine Continent Empire was the only feasible way.
Yurisses was a politician and a politician, but he was definitely not talking about a sage. A US president who could tell his opponent what those damned civilians were like, perhaps on impulse, but it could also be understood as what he had always thought in his heart.
More than 50,000 civilians were killed, industrial areas destroyed, weapons research institutes exploded, and tens of thousands of soldiers died
These were all things that could drive Yurisses crazy, but they wouldn't go crazy. As long as he could exchange them for benefits that were worth it, Yurisses believed that there was nothing he couldn't talk about.
"If it was in the past, Pressuring the royal family through the Divine Continent Empire would definitely not have any effect, Although most of the previous imperial foundations were in the Divine Continent Empire, but relatively independent, Divine Continent Empire couldn't even interfere, However, things were different now. The royal family had the intention to return. The cooperation between the Divine Continent Empire and the royal family was about to begin. The two sides could be said to be on their honeymoon. Although there were many schemes, the relationship had begun to improve. Even if the improvement was temporary, the royal family had to consider Lin Qingtian's attitude at this time.
Yurisses said after a moment of silence.
Joseph nodded. He shook his head and whispered, "Although what you said is very reasonable, I still insist on my view. I don't think that your negotiation with the Divine Continent Empire will work. Moreover, the Divine Continent Empire is very tough this time. The conditions they put forward will definitely be very difficult to accept. The outcome of this meeting will most likely end in displeasure, and the conflict in the future will be even more difficult to reconcile."
"But we still have to talk."
Yurisses smiled bitterly and shook his head. "At least there's hope before we talk about it. We'll have to talk about the specifics, won't we, old buddy?"
Joseph sighed softly. The vice president, who was once thought to have a high chance of ascending to the presidency after Yurisses stepped down, had great expectations for the presidency. But now that he saw Yurisses's situation, he suddenly realized that the pressure he had hoped for was not easy either.
"Maybe you're right."
Joseph shrugged his shoulders and gulped down the water in his cup. "Always talk. I still don't think it's going to work."
He sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette himself. Obviously, he did not intend to leave until this important negotiation was over.
Yurisses sighed and shook his head. He picked up the phone and dialed a number. After the other party connected, he calmly said, "Edla, have you communicated with the Divine Continent Empire?"
"Still waiting for news."
On the phone, US Secretary of State Edra's calm voice sounded, "I have already notified the Foreign Ministry of the Divine Continent Empire. I think there will be news soon. Mr. President, do you want me to hurry up?"
"No need."
Yurisses shook his head without hesitation. This kind of negotiation was too urgent. If he placed his body too low, it would only make people look down on him. No matter what, the United States was still the strongest country in the world. No matter how great the losses were now, it still had the confidence to be reserved.
"Alright."
Edla replied in a tone of Gongjin. After waiting for a few seconds, he did not hear any other instructions from Yurisses and carefully hung up the phone.
Yurisses picked up the cigar on the table and took a sip. He threw the phone on the desk and sneered, "Pretend!"
