Chapter 2430: The Fairy of Oz (Ⅱ)

"Is there a difference?" Anahita asked proudly.
"Of course there is a difference. It is related to whom I should negotiate with. After all, you cannot make a decision for the Pope."
Mrs. Josephine still had a smile on her face, but her words became sharper, and she seemed to gradually become impatient with Anahita's stubborn attitude.
Anahita's face changed, and she replied reluctantly: "Although this action was not directly assigned by the Pope, she does not oppose us to support the Walsung tribe. After all, we are all on this land. For the indigenous people of China, it is our common position to oppose foreign colonial aggression, and we should work together."
Mrs. Josephine nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "In addition to you and Humbaba, Offen also supports the Walsung tribe against the colony. In fact, I also sympathize with the situation of the aborigines, but you should not adopt this. A fierce means to fight the government—"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Anahita interrupted Mrs. Josephine impatiently. "Whose government is your so-called government? Does the government of the robbers represent the victims of looting and ravages? You Can you represent the colony?"
"I can't..." Mrs. Josephine smiled bitterly.
"You can't represent the so-called government in your mouth. What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?"
Anahita's sharp rebuttal embarrassed Mrs. Josephine, and she barely explained it calmly.
"Sister Anahita, our parliament has publicly declared that it will not deal with terrorists. The dignity of the parliament must be upheld, but this does not prevent the two parties from communicating in private. You know what I mean?"
"Dirty and hypocritical political skills!" Anahita said contemptuously.
"To make such an evaluation means that you are a sensible person. Let's just say it. On the face of it, I am a social activist who is keen on the cause of peace. I cannot engage in diplomatic activities on behalf of the colonial government, but it does not prevent me from acting privately. Try to resolve this crisis in name and express my "sincerity". As for my sincerity comes from government funding, or the special "stability maintenance fund" set up by the board of directors of the Wilnoa Colony Company, you should not ask any more. The specific matters will not be reflected in On a written agreement." Mrs. Josephine said frankly.
"I am sorry to find that you have fallen into a political broker who has completely lost noble ideals. You want to use a few bad money to buy us? Josephine, don't you think this approach is ridiculous!"
Anahita took a deep breath, seeming to be restraining her excitement, and then asked in her usual arrogant tone: "The negotiation is okay, but you let Humbaba first."
"Release Humbaba, what can we get back?"
Mrs. Josephine's rhetorical question was very clever, and she quietly rejected the negotiation premise given by Anahita without embarrassing her too much.
Anahita has maintained an aggressive posture in this negotiation, but her negotiation skills are more inferior than that of Mrs. Josephine, and she hesitated for a while and reluctantly made concessions.
"You release Humbaba, and I will not pursue you for breaking into my territory without authorization to make trouble and destroy the original magic flower."
"The ‘children of the devil’ flower’ awakened by you, as well as the soldiers captured by Humbaba before, can also leave this place safely with you."
"Ms. Anahita, may I ask if my brother Holden and Mr. Pinkerton are also on the list of prisoners exchanged?" Audrey couldn't help asking.
Anahita nodded, a touch of helplessness appeared on her hazy face.
"The two people you mentioned are friends of Haakon and Slud. Those two little ghosts were afraid that I would hurt them. They said a lot of good things, and begged me to cast spells to heal them, if it wasn't for the brothers and sisters. On, I let the Primordial Magic Flower swallow them a long time ago."
Audrey breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thanked the Walsung brothers and sisters.
"There are still thousands of residents in Grizzly Town who are trapped in the'Oz Wonderland'. Cursed by you, they have transformed into fungi and plants. We can't ignore them." Mrs. Josephine asked Anahita a serious face, " How are you willing to let these innocent victims go and restore the original appearance of Grizzly Town?"
"Innocent victim?" Anahita sneered, and turned into a stern condemnation: "The'victim' in your mouth came across from the sea and invaded the land of the aborigines, burned forests to open up wasteland, and frantically plundered natural resources. Even deliberately spreading the virus, if they are innocent, what are the indigenous peoples brutally slaughtered by them?"
"Anahita, I admit that the colonists violated the rights of the aborigines, but the crime is not dying. Violence will only intensify the conflicts between the two parties and lead to more and more intense conflicts. This is precisely what we both are trying to avoid. Yes, isn't it?" Mrs. Josephine tried to persuade Anahita to calm down.
"I'm not interested in listening to you talking about these empty words! Josephine, the Walsung family has already issued a public statement a week ago, asking the colonial government of Midgard to stop its westward expansion, and publicly apologize and compensate for the crime of deliberately spreading the smallpox virus. The loss of the victim family."
"Only when your government accepts these legitimate demands, I will remove the'Ozure Wonderland' and release the local residents, otherwise the discussion will be avoided!"
Anahita was determined.
"Abandoning the westward expansion can be discussed. The border delineated by the '1622 Amnesty Decree' provides a legal basis for this, but the colonial government is required to publicly apologize to the indigenous people for spreading the smallpox virus. This is too..." Mrs. Josephine faced. Desperate.
"Why, dare to do it or not?" Anahita asked sarcastically.
"The chief messenger of this incident was a few radicals in the colonial military. The Parliament and the Governor did not know about it. Moreover, it was related to the face of the government. It is really difficult to apologize publicly. As compensation, we can use private charities to send smallpox to the indigenous people. The family provides relief and medical assistance." Mrs. Josephine proposed an alternative.
"Relief? This word sounds disgusting!" Anahita sneered, "Rather than accept the charity of the robber, we would rather do justice by ourselves!"
Mrs. Josephine smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Anahita, you are too paranoid. There is no reconciliation without compromise. Maybe I should change to a more pragmatic negotiation partner."
"It's up to you, Josephine, to tell you the truth, it's useless to negotiate with anyone. You want me to compromise unless you step on my body!" Anahita looked firm.
"you sure?"
Qiao An's words drew displeased gazes from the "Wild Fairy".
"Young man, give you a piece of advice-take care of your mouth and be careful of your upper body!"
"Thank you for your advice, Ms. Anahita, I admire your dedication to justice, but your presence has already constituted an obstacle to the peaceful resolution of this conflict. Mrs. Josephine intends to circumvent the obstacle, and I am here Consider whether to push the obstacle directly." Qiao An said frankly.
