Chapter: 3340

"And I am your negotiator!"

However, it's unrealistic to make yourself find out where the highest commander is and take control of them in a million-man army. Besides, I still don't know what their highest commander looks like or who they are.

By the time we get there, there will be over a thousand people inside, and even if I can sneak in successfully, it would be hard to find out who they are and confirm their identity within a day or two.

But if you look at this problem from another angle, it's not that complicated.

I can just go straight to him.

Hamed was shocked when he heard my words and exclaimed, "How is this possible? Elder brother Le, this kind of thing is nine deaths out of ten, how can you take such a risk?"

I smiled calmly and said, "As your negotiator representative, I'll go face-to-face with them directly. What's there to be afraid of? Do you think they'll kill me?"

Hamed retorted, "It's not impossible! They're furious at me right now, and who knows if they might use you as a pawn!"

I chuckled and said, "That won't happen. Our ancestors from ancient times used to say that in wars between nations, one doesn't slaughter the other. And this is also a basic principle that all countries follow, just like the Geneva Convention. Since it's been regulated not to deliberately kill medical personnel on the battlefield, every country has to abide by this principle."

As I spoke, I added, "Wàn Lóng Di was able to develop to its current scale and wants to establish itself in the Middle East. And these basic principles they will definitely follow."

Hamed said, "But they're not willing to negotiate with me either. They're thinking about going all out against me, and as I've heard, they've already spread rumors that if anyone in my base, even an old rat, is found, they won't let it go."

I chuckled and said, "No matter how many harsh words they say, it's meaningless. In reality, they're stuck in a stalemate with you, and it doesn't benefit them at all."

As I spoke, I continued to analyze the situation, saying, "This stalemate may seem unfavorable to you on the surface, but in reality, it's actually disadvantageous for Wàn Lóng Di and the government army."

Hamed looked worried, saying, "Old brother, honestly speaking, I'm a bit uncertain sometimes. My preparation time isn't long enough, so my supplies are still insufficient. It's not even close to the three-year strategic stockpile you mentioned earlier, and now we have nearly 10,000 people here, eating and drinking, which will accelerate consumption and at most last for another year and a half..."

As he finished speaking, Hamed let out a sigh and said seriously, "Old brother, I'm like a turtle in a jar - trapped and helpless."

I laughed and said, "What's there to fear? As long as the jar is sturdy enough, they won't be able to break it within a short period of time."

As I spoke, I added, "And you need to understand one thing: your current situation is completely different from theirs. You may be stuck in this jar, but this jar itself is your nest, and you're just being blocked from outside - with food and drink at your disposal, what's there to fear? Not only don't you have anything to fear, but your quality of life won't drop due to being trapped either."

As I finished speaking, my tone shifted, and I said with a smile, "But those people outside who are besieging you - they're not as lucky. The 20,000-strong army formed by Wàn Lóng Di and the government will have to endure hardships like wind and rain, day and night, stuck at your doorstep. Who's more miserable can be imagined."

Hamed listened until then and suddenly had a spark in his eyes, excitedly saying, "Old brother, please go on..."

I smiled and said, "Look, it's just like a group of fishermen going to Black Fish Pond to catch fish. They're gritting their teeth, determined to catch the biggest fish in the pond, but that fish is hiding underwater and won't show its head. The fishermen can't do anything but set up camp at the water's edge and prepare for a protracted battle."

"Get used to wind and rain, and mosquitoes biting too. It's okay if you get delayed in your work, but you can't just quit a job that pays tens of thousands a year or give up on a business that brings in hundreds of thousands a month just because you're trying to catch one fish? So they'll hang around at the pond for a day or two, maybe three to five days before they get fed up?"

"If some die-hard angler has a stubborn temperament and can really bite their teeth and persist, then when they've persisted for a week and still haven't caught any fish, their wife will have already remarried her neighbor, Old Wang, by that time. What can they do then?"

Hamed exclaimed enthusiastically, "Oh man, it's like that!"

Yè Chén nodded his head, saying, "The 20,000-strong army led by Wàn Lóng Di and the government is besieging you here, incurring daily costs of hundreds of thousands of dollars. And these costs are purely sunk costs. But if they were to transfer this force to another battlefield, maybe it would even bring in profits for Wàn Lóng Di. The positive and negative aspects are like two pairs of thousands of dollars. Do you think they can afford to drag on?"

As Yè Chén finished speaking, he smiled and said firmly, "If Wàn Lóng Di really dares to continue this stalemate with you for another year or half a year, your supplies won't have been depleted yet, but Wàn Lóng Di's own resources will be exhausted. Most of their people are hired mercenaries, who work only for whoever pays them. If they don't get paid or get paid little, they'll definitely leave. You know how it is when an architect's worker doesn't receive wages and still continues to work voluntarily?" JrNovels.com
