Of course, it was not enough.
The six terms previously drawn up were based on the friendly, equal, and voluntary conditions of both sides.
Now the US representative was obviously reluctant, and he was still arrogant in the meeting, looking like he was giving alms to you.
Then he would increase the price.
Increase until they couldn't bear it, and put extreme pressure on them to take the initiative to admit defeat.
Maups was not in a hurry. Hundreds of crew members could not eat much money in his territory. These people were in good physical fitness. They did not have to worry about medical problems at all. They were not in a hurry.
Even if the US representative came up to admit defeat and said all the good words.
Maups would also find a reason to increase the price.
There was no complicated reason.
He just wanted to torture them and avenge himself for being trapped in the underground bunker for more than a month.
"The scale of the general hospital will be expanded by 20%."
"Aid will be increased by 20%."
"In addition, I will add one more thing. After the friendly support clause is signed, the six US embassies in Africa must issue a unified news announcement."
"First, the news content is to congratulate the friendly results of this meeting."
"Second, these six embassies must issue news clarifying that the culprit of the incident at the presidential residence in Nigeria was someone else, and apologize to the people in Anut who were seriously hurt."
The blood pressure of the US representatives was rising little by little.
Although they often changed their minds at the last moment of negotiations or talks, or temporarily increased the price.
But few people dared to do this to them.
What's more, a nobody from a small country in Africa?
If he could, Alderton really wanted to let this guy see what the iron fist of the US was.
But he couldn't.
They had Monster Industries behind them …
More than a month ago, the US wanted to take down General Maups through the incident at the presidential residence in Nigeria.
Originally, things went very smoothly, and the operation personnel completed the task easily. Under the oppression of absolute strength, the officials of various departments in Nigeria immediately stood on their side.
In addition to supporting a general in other regions, they let him act as the vanguard against General Maups.
This combination of fists was very useful in other regions. At first, it only took them one day to get General Maups into a desperate situation of abandoning the city and running away.
The general they supported was also gearing up for a general attack on the Anut region.
As long as the Anut region had a new owner, wouldn't the Monster Industries in the Anut region be at their mercy?
Who would have thought that the situation would be reversed the next day?
General Maups ran straight to one of the Monster Industries' factories. The next day, the general they supported was raided, scaring all the surrounding powers into drawing a clear line with the Americans.
They were unwilling to give up and were prepared to take action themselves.
And then there was no more and then …
The special forces on the ground had all disappeared, and the Flying Dragon Face's naval fleet had also completely disappeared.
If it weren't for the hundreds of crew members still detained in Nigeria, they would have wondered if there were aliens against them.
This was also the reason why they were so eager to get these crew members back. Not only could these crew members calm the anxiety of their families, but they could also describe in detail the attack on the warship.
"Impossible."
Alderton did not hesitate to reject Maups's price increase. "The previously agreed support terms are already the greatest sincerity we can show, and there is no such thing as a temporary increase in the international negotiations."
"No?" Maups was not interested in exposing the truth of the Americans at all. The number of times they temporarily increased the price was more than the number of lice on a monkey's head.
"That's a pity. It seems that this meeting will end early."
"Although we are very sincere, we don't want to see the American representative break the rules of the international talks in order to promote this cooperation."
"I will inform the media later that we are not willing to accept the American support project. It has nothing to do with you."
With that, General Mopu pretended to stand up.
Alderton clenched his fist. "Don't go too far. We have room for negotiation on the details of the support amount."
"But it is impossible for the embassy to release a news clarification."
"We and the embassy are two departments. We only have the right to negotiate the details of the support terms and have no right to increase the terms."
"Any news released by the embassy should be carefully considered and investigated for the source of the news. Please respect our work and don't change your mind like a street gangster. "
"Is that so?"
General Maups waved to the entourage around him, who quickly selected a few photos on the laptop.
The laptop was connected to the multimedia screen on the wall, and the photos were also displayed on the multimedia screen.
It was a screenshot of the website of the American embassy.
Nigaya.
Nigeria.
Burkina Faso.
Tagana.
Ghana.
Gabon.
There were screenshots of the websites of the American embassies in six countries.
It could be clearly seen in the screenshots that on a certain day more than a month ago, the websites of the six embassies published news about the incident at the presidential residence in Nigeria at the same time.
The content of the news was also word for word, all accusing General Maups of being the culprit behind the incident.
Including Nigeria, it could be seen from the name alone that these surrounding countries were all related to the same cultural area.
These six embassies worked at the same time, showing the great suppression of Maups.
Maups took screenshots of these embassy news that inverted right and wrong.
At that time, he could only be incompetent and furious.
Now, of course, he had to settle the old accounts.
Maups pointed to the photos and asked the American representative if the news had been rigorously verified and the source of the news had been investigated.
"Of course."
Alderton's face was not red and his heart was not beating fast. He said righteously: "All news sources have been investigated to ensure the rigor and authenticity of the news."
"But you also know that no investigation agency in the world can guarantee that the investigation conclusions are 100% correct."
"The investigation results are wrong, and it is an inevitable minority phenomenon."
"I noticed that these embassies have deleted the original news."
"On this point, I can only represent my personal regret for the mistakes made by the embassy."
Maups stood up. "Are you sure you can't add the clarification and apology of the embassy?"
Alderton made a helpless gesture.
Maups left the conference room without looking back.
"You …" Alderton could only thicken his skin and chase out.
.....
There were no terms that could not be negotiated.
The American representative did not agree to Maups's request purely because he did not want to lose face and did not want to do the embarrassing thing of spitting a mouthful of saliva and lying on the ground to lick it back.
However, Maups was more of a hoodlum than them, and he left in a huff when he was not satisfied.
It had been almost 20 days since the date of the crew's detention. If they could not come up with an explanation, the crew's families would probably go to the destination ports of several warships to pitch tents and wait until their families came back.
If things got out of hand, the news of the disappearance of a cruiser and two submarines could not be suppressed no matter what.
At that time, it would not be as simple as licking saliva.
What else could be done?
Lick it.
So after Alderton chased Maups and his team back and asked for instructions on the phone for half an hour, he had to agree to Maups's request with a livid face.
When the meeting ended, the on-site media obtained the results of the negotiation from the representatives of the United States and Nigeria and spread the news of the meeting.
Europe, the United States, and Africa were in an incredible shock.
