169 Bargain

Facing the aggressive immortal, Akimovich had no sign of anger, but instead he became calmer. Faced with this situation, even Li Xiaofeng smiled: "It seems that you have calmed down again, right?"

Akimovich was calm and calm, but he was merciless: "That's because I suddenly realized that quarreling with you has no meaning. It's not you who can determine the fate of Russia!"

Li Xiaofeng shrugged and ignored this provocation. He smiled and said, "You are right at all. Of course I can't decide the fate of Russia, but I can decide the fate of Germany!"

Akimovich took a deep breath and said coldly: "Is this the least funny joke I have ever heard?"

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Li Xiaofeng shook his finger and sneered: "I thought you were a little more sober than ordinary Germans, but the facts disappointed me so much. You actually think what I said was a joke. Is that I have to use something to make you sober!"

Akimovich instinctively knew that this was not a good thing, "What do you mean?" he asked.

"My meaning is very clear!" Li Xiaofeng smiled, revealing two tiger teeth, which made him look a little hideous. "I am considering who to kill so that you can feel that I am full of sincerity!"

Akimovich jumped out of his seat in a fright. The reason why they avoided direct contact with someone at the beginning was that they were worried that such a bad situation would happen if the negotiations could not be reached. They didn't have many ways to threaten someone with their ability. It was like playing with someone's senior German officers or government leaders without knowing it.

"Are you threatening me?" Akimovich asked with courage.

Li Xiaofeng just yawned: "I'm just explaining a fact. Of course, if you treat it as a threat, it's better to be threatened. Anyway, you threaten me first. To be honest, I hate being threatened the most!"

"This is a violation of the sacred agreement!" Akimovich's face suddenly became ferocious. He roared angrily: "This kind of behavior is unacceptable!"

The so-called Holy Spirit Agreement is an agreement between mages of several capitalist rogue countries. Because mages are too destructive, in order to avoid global disasters caused by conflicts between countries, and to avoid the heads of various countries falling into assassination of mages. The mages in the Christian world signed a treaty. No matter how fierce the battle between countries is, mages cannot assassinate or assassinate the heads of enemy countries.

"I have never signed that bullshit agreement!" Li Xiaofeng took out his ears and said contemptuously: "So as long as I am unhappy, I will kill anyone who is willing to kill, and maybe I will create some artificial disasters in your country's arsenals and large military enterprises. For me, this is a piece of cake!"

Akimovich said with a gloomy face: "Then your country will also face revenge from our country!"

Who knew that Li Xiaofeng didn't care about this threat at all, "Just take revenge! Anyway, Russia is already in chaos, and it doesn't matter if it is a little messy. But can you withstand this level of chaos?"

Akimovich stopped talking because someone was right. Russia was already making trouble anyway, and it was nothing to be messed up any more. But Germany did not dare to be messed up. Facing the three powerful enemies of Britain, France and the United States, as long as they were in trouble, they would inevitably be destroyed.

To be honest, this feeling of being threatened is really bad. Akimovich thought he had the advantage at first. He should be able to convince the other party to surrender strongly, but now it seems that the so-called advantages are not worth mentioning at all. If the other party really sacrifices his power, he has no way to do so.

But when he surrendered to the other party's tyranny, he was unwilling to give in. After thinking about it, he said, "Even if you dare not abide by the sacred agreement, even if you can destroy Germany, you will inevitably be jointly hunted by mages from all over the world. Any mage who does not abide by the agreement will definitely have a dead end!"

"You don't have to worry about me!" Li Xiaofeng snorted contemptuously, "Don't say that you are as united as if you are. If I take action against you, the mages of Britain, France and the United States will definitely only choose to stand by and watch. Anyway, they are not the ones who are hurt. Why should they be anxious for you? I think they are very happy to come and laugh at you. Maybe they will secretly help me open the back door!"

Akimovich changed his face again. Someone said nothing wrong. Is the sacred agreement useful? It is hard to say. Anyway, if he was a wizard from Britain, France and the United States, he would probably be willing to watch jokes. At most, he would wait until Germany was finished before chasing someone. At that time, they were not morally criticized.

But this result is really not what Akimovich wants. The country is over. What's the use of punishing the murderer?

And Li Xiaofeng was very blunt and poured a large basin of cold water on him: "And in my opinion, it's a joke to kill me just by your stinky bird eggs!"

Akimovich said dissatisfiedly: "You underestimate us too much. As long as the mages in the world concentrate their full strength, no one..."

Before he could finish speaking, he felt that Li Xiaofeng's momentum suddenly changed, and the violent pressure made him shut his mouth directly. After dozens of seconds, when the pressure on him suddenly disappeared, he started coughing violently.

"You...this...this is impossible!" Akimovich was so surprised that he couldn't stop talking. When he parted with someone two months ago, although someone's strength was terrifying, it was just like the Grand Patriarch who had transformed. Now, someone's strength is more than ten times more terrifying than the Grand Patriarch who was then. What's going on?

Li Xiaofeng said with a smile: "You still think I'm joking now? I'm afraid that as long as I'm willing, it's not difficult to kill all the mages in your country in one fell swoop! Are you sure you want me to do this?"

Akimovich's heart was full of ups and downs. Someone's strength shocked him. This is equivalent to the legendary magic god, right? Damn, how can such a monster appear in this world? This will greatly change the power pattern of the mage world.

Thinking of this, Akimovich's heart was dark. Almost everyone, including him, thought that even if someone existed, the power of the Russian mage was greatly weakened. Faced with the overall advantage of Germany, the Russians could only surrender. But now it seems that this is just a joke. Russia actually had such a monster. Damn it, but it is better to increase its strength instead of decline!

To be honest, the negotiation strategy Akimovich had formulated before was no longer effective. He originally thought that as long as he applied enough pressure and gave certain benefits, he could make someone surrender. Now it seems that this has become a joke, so Akimovich didn't know how to speak.

Akimovich stopped talking, this was not the result that Li Xiaofeng wanted. He actually had similar plans to Akimovich, and he wanted to impose some pressure on the other party to make the other party give in. However, he did not intend to help Russia protect Finland, Poland and the Baltic countries. In his opinion, these countries were completely alienated from Russia. Forced them to stay in Russia's circle and could only act as teammates of pigs. What's more, he could not force the Germans too ruthless. He also hoped that the Germans would hold on for one or two more years to hold back the hands and feet of Britain, France and the United States!

And the current situation is that he showed off too much. His powerful strength scared Akimovich, making him not know how to speak. But as a strong side, a certain immortal cannot depreciate himself. You are so powerful, but putting forward a condition that is too weak will arouse the other party's suspicion. What if the German guy thinks he is bluffing?

Li Xiaofeng is really not bluffing. He just needs to consider too many aspects. He can neither force the Germans too hard nor accept the Germans' blackmail. To be honest, it is really difficult!

After a long time, Akimovich finally came back to his senses. He asked palely: "Mr. Andre, although your strength is indeed very strong, no matter how powerful you are, you cannot fight against a country by your own strength. Since both of us sincerely want to end this war, then I ask you to put forward a more practical condition, your previous conditions. Our country will absolutely not accept it!"

Li Xiaofeng was filled with joy. How else did he want to find excuses to go down the stairs? Unexpectedly, Akimovich solved this problem for him. He listened to his tone. This kid has softened and seems to be able to get to the point.

However, Li Xiaofeng was not in a hurry. He pretended to think carefully for a long time before saying, "For the sake of the Russian people, I can talk to you, but I must also explain that your previous request is simply a lion's mouth, which is really unacceptable!"

Akimovich seemed to want to argue, but Li Xiaofeng stopped him rudely. A certain immortal said to himself: "Cection of land is absolutely intolerable to Russia. Any act of ceding land will be regarded as traitorism. Whether it is for me or the Bolsheviks, this is a great shame! It is also a political burden that is difficult to abandon!"

Akimovich was anxious, and he emphasized: "But..."

Li Xiaofeng interrupted him again, "It is definitely unrealistic to let Russia cede its territory directly to Germany in the form of a treaty. I mean, Finland, Poland and the Baltic countries held a referendum, allowing them to decide whether to continue to stay in Russia's territory. If they choose to be independent or join other countries, that is their freedom! Russia will fully respect public opinion, do you understand?"

Akimovich was stunned at first, and then felt that this was not unacceptable. Anyway, the political goal they had to achieve before was to weaken Russia and keep the polar bears' sphere of influence away from Germany. If they followed the referendum, these countries would 100% part ways with Russia. Moreover, doing so would indeed win more points politically, at least it would not allow Germany to be a hat of an invader, but instead become the liberator of the oppressed nation. And in fact, these liberated countries should not respect the meaning of Germany, the sovereign state. This method is good!

"I have a question!" Although Akimovich thought that this method was good, it did not mean that he would not continue to bargain. "What about Ukraine? Why does the above agreement not involve Ukraine!"

Li Xiaofeng glanced at this guy. You kid is so arrogant. Who doesn’t know that Ukraine is Russia’s granary. Without the granary, Russia will be very sad in the future. He will never give up on Ukraine.

He sneered: "Do you think I will give up Ukraine?"

Akimovich argued: "But Ukraine is also the territory you occupied by invasion, reasonably..."

"If you still tell me such nonsense, then there is nothing to talk about between us!" Li Xiaofeng said firmly, "Do you think Ukraine is a useless ribs like Poland and Finland? Ukraine involves Russia's core interests, and we will never give up!"

Akimovich stopped talking. Although he wanted to fight for Ukraine again, it would always be good to let the polar bears breathe a little more blood, he swallowed the words back when he saw someone's aggressive look.

"We can accept these for the time being. But should the territorial dispute between your country and the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Türkiye be resolved together?"

"Türkiye people dare to talk to me about these nonsense?" Li Xiaofeng snorted contemptuously, "Tell them that we can only accept the return to the pre-war state at most!"

Why is Li Xiaofeng so disdainful of Turkey? Because Turkey is actually not strong enough. The country of Sick Man did not refer to the Celestial Empire at first, but to Turkey. With the glory of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, Turkey never returned. Turkey's role in modern history does not have to be much stronger than the Qing Dynasty, but is all divided by European powers. For example, polar bears have often benefited from Turkey, and most of the territory of the Black Sea was stolen from the country of Sick Man in Europe.

This world war is no exception. Polar bears cannot beat the Germans, but they are not ruthless in fighting the local chickens. Turkey is a bit dirty in the Russians. Such a guy dares to whine. Naturally, a certain immortal is not happy.

In fact, Akimovich looked down on Turkey, and helping Turkey speak is nothing more than fulfilling the responsibilities of his allies. The Turks are also attacked from both sides at this time, and being able to free themselves from the Russian front is also good news. Besides, even if they cannot make any advantage from the Russians, after defeating the Allies, some of them can be made cheap!

After the two resolved some details about the territorial dispute, Akimovich raised the issue of war reparations, "Three billion marks really cannot be less. Three years of war has caused huge economic losses to our country and allies, and you must compensate!"

Li Xiaofeng curled his lips and said, "It seems that we Russia have not suffered any losses. Please note that most of the places where the battle broke out are within Russian territory!"

"But you, you took the initiative to attack us!" Akimovich refused to give in.

Li Xiaofeng naturally would not be polite: "That's because you started the trouble in the Balkans first!"

"Mr. Andre!" Akimovich said excitedly, "We have made great concessions on territorial issues before. In order to keep the negotiations on, you must make compromises! You will not allow the advantageous side to make concessions, and let your country at a disadvantage take advantage of it?"

Li Xiaofeng doesn't like to listen to this, "What does it mean to take advantage of nothing? Our country has given up nearly a century of hard work. Isn't this a concession? It seems that we have taken advantage of the territorial issue!"

"But on the battlefield, our country has gained the advantage..."

Li Xiaofeng interrupted Akimovich again: "Don't say so much nonsense. Restoring peace between the two countries is not unhelpful for you. You can concentrate on dealing with the British, American and French. This will give you a chance to win a war! You can't deny this!"

"But our country has indeed suffered great damage, and your country cannot be blamed!" Akimovich refused to give in this time.

In fact, Li Xiaofeng did not plan to fight for war and compensation with him. Anyway, the Germans will definitely lose. As long as the Germans lose, they will not count any compensation. A certain immortal never thought of giving money. The reason for arguing with Akimovich was to dispel the suspicion of this guy. After all, the agreement reached between them was not even a draft. After this guy returned, what should I do if he saw that it was so easy to talk to in Germany?

To put it bluntly, Li Xiaofeng just wanted to act like a difficult-to-talk attitude and squeeze the Germans' bargaining space. So after a long time of quarrel, a certain immortal spoke: "If you insist on asking for war compensation, it's OK, but given our poor economic situation, the compensation can be given to you, but you can't give it immediately. Please give us a certain buffer time!"

Akimovich tends to get the money immediately, so he doesn't agree, but Li Xiaofeng has something to say: "Do you really don't understand or fake it? Where can the People's Committee of our country give you money now? Even if you agree, you can't pay it! And you must see that we, the Bolsheviks, are facing great domestic pressure. The Social Revolutionary Party, the Mensheviks and the Cadets are constantly asking for trouble with us and squeezing us. Do you think they will negotiate with you?"

"How long are you going to delay?" Akimovich thought about the reasons to recognize someone. At this time, the Bolsheviks were ousted, which was indeed not good for them. Those parties were constantly shouting and fighting.

"Let's do this, the specific situation needs to be analyzed. You have to give us a time to evaluate the domestic economic situation in detail, right?" Li Xiaofeng immediately began to fool him, "This assessment will take half a year, and it will take half a year for us to prepare for fundraising. As soon as possible, how about paying compensation in 1919?"
