Chapter 579
"But..."
"This five hundred billion in reparations is really too high. My side now seriously doubts whether the Dragon Nation's sincerity in negotiations is sufficient..."
"..."
Okita Shofu still wanted to fight for it, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was rudely interrupted by Song Qi.
"There are no buts!"
"This war was started by you, Sakura, and you, Sakura, should have taken full responsibility!"
"My Dragon Nation also paid a not-insignificant price..."
Song Qi rested his chin on his hand, pondered for a long time, as if he couldn't think of any price, paused, and then spoke slowly.
"The fish in our Dragon Nation's waters that were blown up!"
"The shells we used to bombard you, Sakura, and the wages and bonuses of our soldiers, aren't these all money?"
"Five hundred billion, no room for negotiation!"
Okita Shofu: "━┳━━┳━"
Listen to this, is this human language?
You want me to compensate for the fish that were blown up too?
How much money could shells and bonuses possibly be?
Five hundred billion, do you understand what this concept is?
The annual income of Dragon Nation smokers from smoking is only one trillion!
The cost of this battle of yours is at most a few million!
And you turn around and want to extort five hundred billion?
Don't be too ridiculous!
Although he thought so in his heart, Okita Shofu also understood that Sakura is a defeated nation.
There is not much room for bargaining left for a defeated nation.
"One more thing!"
"Remember to return the things of our Dragon Nation after this battle."
Song Qi said calmly.
"Things of the Dragon Nation?"
Okita Shofu had heard Song Qi say this from the beginning, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand what things Song Qi was talking about.
"It's the Ryukyu Islands!"
Song Qi's tone was extremely firm.
"They have been a vassal state of my Dragon Nation since ancient times!"
"That battle a hundred years ago was when your Sakura nation seized Ryukyu and annexed the territory of my Dragon Nation!"
"Don't tell me you want to renege on the debt?"
"The United Society also stated it clearly: Sakura does not have sovereignty over Ryukyu, only trusteeship! Back then, the bald one was afraid of this and that, and didn't dare to take it back!"
"Now that we, the Dragon Nation, are taking it back ourselves, do you have any objections?"
Hearing this, Okita Shofu panicked completely!
The other side was actually aiming for Ryukyu!
"No!"
"Absolutely not!"
"Ryukyu is a part of Sakura, and this has now become an international consensus!"
"Furthermore, Ryukyu has been under Sakura's jurisdiction for nearly a hundred years; it is effectively the territory of my Sakura!"
"No one can deprive us of it!"
"This condition! I cannot accept it!"
"Fart!!"
But then came a boom—
Song Qi slammed the table, making a thunderous sound.
"To hell with your international consensus!"
"You snatched someone else's things, and you still have the face to bark here!"
"Then according to your logic, if my Dragon Nation conquered Sakura and enslaved the Sakura people for over a hundred years, would Sakura then become the inherent territory of the Dragon Nation?"
"If that were the case, my Dragon Nation wouldn't mind having a bit more territory..."
"After all, with the current strength of the Dragon Nation, destroying Sakura... is just a matter of lifting a finger!"
Hearing this, Okita Shofu shuddered all over.
The threatening meaning in Song Qi's words was self-evident.
Moreover, although what Song Qi said was harsh, it truly occupied the moral high ground.
Okita Shofu didn't even know how to refute it.
However, the three conditions proposed by the other side, whether it was the Emperor submitting a surrender document, the five hundred billion in war reparations, or especially the final return of the Ryukyu Islands.
All had already exceeded the limit of what the Sakura side could accept...
One could imagine what kind of stormy waves would be stirred up if these three items were sent back to Sakura!
Finally, Song Qi's steady voice came again.
"Representative Okita, there is a good old saying in the Dragon Nation: those who know the times are heroes!"
"I hope you and your country can understand what I mean..."
"The patience of my Dragon Nation is also limited. No one can guarantee where our next missile will land in Sakura."
"Don't you agree?"
"..."
"Wait... my side..."
Okita Shofu just wanted to speak, but the communication channel was hung up just like that.
Listening to the busy signal in his ear.
Okita Shofu slumped into his chair, his whole person as if his soul had been extracted...
