The contact between the two parties was full of tension from the beginning, which shows the importance of Wanmi Mining as the mediator.
However, Gotel remained silent. His thinking was more commercial than pure Ability Warrior.
In his view, as long as there is some negotiation, it is not a bad thing. Both sides are just trying to gain the upper hand.
Qu Jianlei was unhappy when he heard what the military Rank A said, "What does it mean to openly attack Anti-Smuggling Department's fleet?"
"Don't you know who ordered those people? Pretending to be confused... what do you want to do?"
The military Rank A kept silent. He also knew what was going on over there Anti-Smuggling Department.
For such a big matter, if it did not involve the private use of the Anti-Smuggling Department public weapons, the military's response would never have been so calm.
Strictly speaking, if the military could accompany us this time, it would be considered a favor to the Anti-Smuggling Department.
When it comes to this topic, the military will never take the initiative to get involved, and there must be a limit to helping others wipe their butts.
Sheriff felt a little hot, but he couldn't help but answer, "Let's not talk about the instigation for now. What you fired first was right, right?"
Qu Jianlei's face sank slightly, "Why don't you say anything? Put aside the reasons and talk about the results... Do you think we are easy to bully?"
Sheriff's face darkened, and he spoke word by word, "Your ship takes the initiative to attack the imperial anti-smuggling personnel. Is this correct?"
"You should have some facial recognition," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "Is that a regular Anti-Smuggling Team Member?"
Sheriff was a little stunned. He really didn't expect that the other party actually knew this, so much so that he even forgot to be angry.
But then I thought about it, it was normal for such a powerful force to be well-informed.
He replied sternly, "Although most of them are temporary hires, they have the same law enforcement powers as regular staff."
Qu Jianlei waved his hand and spoke nonchalantly, "If you have this attitude, then let's stop here."
"We have repeatedly emphasized and presented the inspection-free pass, but they must force the inspection."
Sheriff knows this detail, and also knows the mentality of those crew members - they are all looking for trouble, no matter what documents you have! He hesitated and replied, "There was an emergency at the time, and they also had the power to make temporary decisions."
Qu Jianlei glanced at him sideways, "What was the emergency situation at that time? Please explain it to me clearly."
Sheriff replied in a deep voice, "Transit Star There are too many starships taking off and landing, the cargo throughput is large, and there are too many emergencies."
Qu Jianlei frowned and said unhappily, "Isn't that a strong word? You can make up some excuse."
"I'm surprised, you're so unreasonable... Do you want to take the blame on yourself?"
Sheriff was speechless, he had no intention of taking the grudge upon himself, otherwise he would really have made up an excuse.
The other party dared to open fire directly on Customs Enforcement Ship. Even if he, the supreme leader, teamed up with the Norton Family, it would probably be too much.
Not to mention, the other party also has contact with the Haiyin Family.
So he could only say, "I am negotiating on behalf of the Anti-Smuggling Department, and it has nothing to do with me personally... The inspection-free pass is not a panacea."
Qu Jianlei stopped talking and glanced at Gotel intentionally or unintentionally - there were some things he didn't know whether it was convenient or not to say them.
Gotel was watching the show with a smile on his face. When he heard this, he was startled: Why the hell does this involve me?
Hongjingtian Although he didn't say anything, it was clear at this glance: Look, you got this certificate for me.
He frowned and spoke unhappily, "Your Excellency Sheriff, the temporary Anti-Smuggling Team Member is not qualified to inspect an exempted starship, right?"
Sheriff looked at him in surprise, his eyes full of confusion: Didn't you say that the two of you didn't want to help each other? Why did you end up like this?
Gotel was heartbroken, "We helped to apply for the certificate, it's not omnipotent, and it can't be checked by just anyone, right?"
When Qu Jianlei saw this, he couldn't help but sigh, big forces are tough, and he said this directly.
To be honest, because he had not integrated into the imperial society, he did a very poor job in grasping this sense of proportion.
When Military Rank A heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and he seemed to be suppressing a smile.
Sheriff tapped his fingers on the table a few times, and it was obvious that he was a little embarrassed.
After seven or eight seconds, he expressed his position aloud, "Then let's not talk about this. These casualties..."
"You go talk to the Norton Family," Qu Jianlei interrupted him without hesitation, "It has nothing to do with us!"
"I'm not afraid to tell you clearly that we have to go to his house to pay for our ammunition consumption and other expenses. You'd better hurry up."
It's better to move faster... Sheriff could tell that the other party meant that if we move slower, Norton Family might be gone.
Isn't this a bit too vicious? He mourned for the Norton Family in his heart: It's really unfortunate.
So he decisively dropped the topic, "Anyway, you will take away one of my Anti-Smuggling Department warships."
"They're retired!" Qu Jianlei corrected the other party, "That's our trophy. Say something else."
"This must be said," Sheriff said without hesitation, "Anti-Smuggling Department's battleships cannot be leaked out!"
"To tell you the truth, this is our bottom line. Everything else is easy to negotiate. This warship must be returned."
Military Rank A didn't care about the joke anymore and spoke out, "Sir, this concerns Anti-Smuggling Department's face."
Qu Jianlei did not respond immediately, but remained silent for a few seconds.
When he found that Xiao Hu, a money-crazed man, was silent, he spoke calmly, "What if I don't pay it back?"
Sheriff said nothing with a cold face, but lit a cigarette.
After taking two puffs, he spoke slowly, "You can give it a try... We have made the biggest concession."
Qu Jianlei was startled for a moment, then lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and replied with a smile, "Then let's give it a try."
"Okay, what a big deal," the military Rank A came out to talk.
"It's fine if you don't want to pay it back. Just destroy it... just send the holographic video. This thing can't be left outside. It's a matter of principle."
"How can it be destroyed?" Sheriff flatly refused, "Anti-Smuggling Department painted a warship was destroyed, and you even made a video of it, who are you bullying?"
Gotel also came forward to reconcile, "Sheriff, let's discuss it carefully. If you two work together, Norton Family will be happy."
"It will be fine if we return the battleship," Sheriff continued to insist, "We don't care about the heavy losses. Isn't that enough?"
Then he glanced at Qu Jianlei, "If Anti-Smuggling Department really fights you, who do you think Norton Family will help?"
"Haha," Qu Jianlei smiled nonchalantly, "How many supreme beings can Norton Family have?"
"If you insist on fighting me, do you know who else is behind me? Be careful when Anti-Smuggling Department pushes you out as a scapegoat."
Sheriff's face changed when he heard this. He has advanced to the highest level for hundreds of years. How has he ever heard such a threat - asking me to be the scapegoat? However, he hasn't been able to have an attack yet. This possibility exists objectively. Compared with the huge Anti-Smuggling Department, what is a supreme being? The most important thing is that he did his homework beforehand and knew that the other party was close to the Haiyin Family - and it was Sixth Miss!
To most people, Rhine is just a Rank A Awakened One with great potential, but the highest level of information is different.
He suppressed his anger and said, "I have no intention of provoking a fight, but we must take back the battleship. This is the bottom line!"
It's hard for the military Rank A and Gotel to say anything more. Matters involving the honor of the department are really not easy to comment on casually.
Qu Jianlei was also a little speechless, "What if I have already disassembled it?"
There are people who really know how to dismantle warships, and the profits are not low - he himself has purchased dismantled weapon systems.
Especially since this was a trophy, even the purchase cost was saved.
"Dismantle..." Hearing this, Sheriff also felt dizzy. He knew that the other party had already damaged the battleship at that time.
"I think disassembly is unlikely. According to the damage control personnel, only the power transmission system was damaged."
"What if it has been repaired?" Qu Jianlei asked calmly, "Return to you a intact ship?"
Sheriff's expression changed again when he heard this, "Then what do you want? Do you still want maintenance fees?"
Qu Jianlei Diandian said, "You can have this, the maintenance fee is not high, 50 million is enough."
"Impossible," Sheriff shook his head simply. This was a question of nature. "Let us pay to redeem our warships?"
Gotel spoke up, "That was paid by the Anti-Smuggling Department, not by you personally... Why should it be so stiff?"
Who doesn't know how fat Anti-Smuggling Department is? Even if Wanmi Mining doesn't take them seriously, they still have to pay benefits every year.
"That's not what you said," Sheriff shook his head in distress, "If I come back after negotiating such terms, others can't laugh it off?"
"There is no compensation for the three battleships lost and the dead and injured personnel, and they still have to pay 50 million!"
"Buying a brand new one only costs seven to eight hundred million. I am a dignified person, don't you want to lose face?"
Qu Jianlei snorted coldly, "Only your face is face, don't we not want face?"
"How about I change my conditions? You hand over the anti-smuggling officers involved and the people related to the Norton Family to me, and I give you a intact ship."
Sheriff shook his head like Pellet Drum, "This is impossible, hand over the anti-smuggling agent to you? You are thinking too much!"
"Then there's no need to talk about it," Qu Jianlei said seriously.
"Then let's not talk about it!" Sheriff said, "I am sincere, but you can't see your sincerity at all!"
Qu Jianlei also complained, "If you hadn't taken the initiative to find trouble, would this have happened? Now it's us who are at fault?"
"Out of humanitarianism, we have left a Attack Ship for you to accommodate the wounded. Isn't it enough?"
"I have emphasized to your people that this matter is never over. Not only will we cause trouble for the Norton Family, but we will also cause trouble for the person involved!"
"If we didn't have an agreement with Wanmi Mining and were worried that a fight would affect our cooperation, we would have gone to find you long ago!"
I'm rough...Sheriff's mouth twitched, because of business cooperation, revenge is temporarily put on hold? Why does this sound so untrue?
Gotel smiled and spoke, "Well, the first negotiation is over, and I declare that both parties have conducted comprehensive and in-depth communication."
