Salute To The General



Jessica and her subordinates' eyes were as wide as saucers, and their jaws hung open as they gaped at the news playing on the screen. Incredulity was written all over their faces.

Eurasia's naval forces have actually teamed up with Remdik's naval forces and even forced the carrier battle group under Admiral Max's command to retreat? Oh my God, this piece of news is simply too sudden'.

Jessica's face flushed red with fury.

Ariarica had quite a number of allies, and they always followed suit whenever Ariarica did anything.

For that reason, Ariarica was pretty confident if a battle were to break out with Eurasia.

However, things were different when Eurasia had Remdik as an ally.

With the Dragon of the East and War Bear joining hands, they had the capability to challenge the entire world.

As Jessica heard from the news report that Max had already been forced to retreat, she knew that it probably wouldn't be long before they all slinked away with their tails tucked between their legs though he had only temporarily left Eurasia's waters.

Crap! The gunboat diplomacy strategy is likely to fail this time!

Sure enough, just when that thought occurred to Jessica, Jemma abruptly strode over and handed a phone to her. "Ms. Pattinson, a call from the higher-ups," she murmured.

Upon hearing that, Jessica swiftly took the phone from her. "Hello. I'm Jessica Pattinson, the Minister of Foreign Affairs."

The voice of the president, Bryon, drifted out of the other end of the phone. "The situation has changed, so make preparations to return!"

As soon as Jessica heard that, her heart lurched. "What about the negotiation, then?" she inquired softly.

"Forget about the tariffs and sanctions on Eurasia's companies first. Right now, Remdik has already stepped forward and is standing side by side with Eurasia. We can't push them too hard. Otherwise, they'll truly gang up on us. That's not the result I want," Bryon asserted.

“Okay, I understand," Jessica hurriedly replied.

After saying that, she hung up the phone with a grim expression on her face.

Ultimately, she was going to follow in Max's footsteps and leave with her tail tucked between her legs.

Zion clocked all the changes in Jessica. Right then, he remarked with a halfsmile, "All right, we've watched the news, and you've also concluded your phone call. Can we continue with the negotiation now?"

Jessica nodded in acquiescence. "Sure!"

Again, they took their seats on opposite sides of the negotiation table.

This time, Zion initiated the conversation by stating calmly, "Ms. Jessica, once again, I request that you rescind your decision to increase the tariff. Is that agreeable?"

Jessica bit her lip before conceding, "We can consider that. We'll make the arrangements later."

Zion knew that Ariarica was forced to compromise because of the current circumstances.

Capitalizing on the victory, he added,

"Also, we request that you stop infringing on the legitimate rights and interests of Eurasian companie's abroad, not abusing your power to intimidate or arbitrarily sanction these companies such as Cross Group and the like. Is that agreeable?"

Jessica's expression was as black as thunder, yet she still had no choice but to nod in the end. "Fine, we agree to lift the sanctions on Cross Group and other similar companies!"

Smiling, Zion replied, "Great! Since we've both reached a consensus, let's sign an agreement to guarantee our peaceful coexistence in the future." Once again, Jessica nodded.

Zion then smilingly ordered his subordinate to prepare the

agreement. At the same time, he notified all the journalists from the various countries outside that they could enter the room.

Shortly after, the agreement was ready, and a group of journalists from a myriad of countries had also stepped in.

Zion announced in a booming voice that the conflict between Ariarica and Eurasia had been resolved as well as Ariarica's decision not to hike the tariff or sanction Eurasian companies.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

On the heels of that, both parties signed the agreement.

The journalists snapped photos and did a live broadcast.

In Channing, Penny, Chance, and the other entrepreneurs couldn't help cheering when they saw Ariarica capitulating and submitting in the news report.

“Sure enough, our country didn't disappoint us, protecting our interests without allowing foreign countries to pick on us!" Penny exclaimed excitedly. "Hear, hear! This is all thanks to the Great Cab and the Chief Military Governor!" Chance and the others echoed.
