Chapter 440: negotiation

"Mr. Xiao, please pay attention to the tone of your speech. None of those sitting here hope that the earth will perish."
With a serious expression on Sam Lane, with unquestionable toughness, Luke was silent for a moment, giving him face.
"Well, if I take back what I said before, you can continue the discussion."
Everyone looked at each other, each of them was as big as a cow. The power they controlled was no problem with the Middle Eastern natives. They couldn't do anything in front of the aliens. The atmosphere was a bit quiet. After a while, the CIA representative spoke.
"You can let someone in the anomalous department try it."
FBI representative Coent said displeased, "Superpowers are not gods and cannot deal with such monsters."
The CIA representative smiled and said, "Just try. If it doesn't work, then withdraw."
"You said it easy, why do you..."
"All right!"
Sam Ryan raised his hand, not letting the dispute go on, his eyes turned to Luke.
"Mr. Xiao, you know Krypton best. I want to know how they will deploy if the war starts."
"Finally remembered this question."
Luke cocked his mouth, revealing a slight sarcasm.
"I have never been on the battlefield, and I don't know what war is like, but I know one thing: the use and integration of resources."
"Krypton is a highly developed cosmic civilization. Their technology has been ahead of us for more than tens of thousands of years. It is almost impossible to defeat them in weapons. Even if you throw all the nuclear bombs on Earth into outer space, it will not have any effect. "
"Fortunately, Krypton is dead, and only the last survivors such as Zod are left. They are not many, no more than twenty. This is where we have the most advantage."
Sam Lane couldn't help but said, "Are you sure they only have twenty."
Others also raised their ears. If the other party has only 20 people, it can be resolved by other means such as negotiation.
"of course."
Luke leaned back in his chair, "Every word I just said can be guaranteed by personality."
Sam Lane took a long breath and communicated with the generals around him in a low voice. Everyone whispered, and the words were full of various conspiracies and tricks.
Luke lit a cigar and smoked it bit after bit.
After a moment, Sam Lane looked up and said,
"Mr. Xiao, can you arrange for us to have a conversation with Zod."
I knew it would be like this?
Luke shook his head in his heart. When facing the unknown fear, most people don’t want to overcome it, but to understand it.
"General Ryan, I would like to ask you a question. If you were a zoo manager, one day, the gorilla in the basket had to negotiate with you because of site issues, how would you solve it?"
Sam Lane frowned. "I don't understand what you mean."
"In the eyes of higher civilizations, the earth is no different from uncivilized natives. You ignore the gorillas' demands. How can you expect them to calm down and talk to us."
"One more thing, Krypton is dead. As race survivors, what do you think is their biggest wish?"
When a word fell, everyone's expressions suddenly changed, Coent murmured,
"To rebuild civilization, they want to rebuild civilization?"
"Yes, Zod's purpose in coming to Earth is to rebuild Krypton here. The birth of one civilization means the destruction of another civilization, everyone..."
Luke squeezed out the cigar, very serious, "Don't have any illusions, there is no other choice but to fight."
The atmosphere was very repressed. Even Sam Lane, who had been on the battlefield, felt the shadow in his heart. There is no morality in the war between races. In the face of the Kryptonians, who are leading in all aspects of science and technology, the earth has no advantage except population. .
After the meeting, everyone left with great anxiety. Luke did not go back, but stayed in the room to rest.
He has said everything that needs to be said, and the rest is waiting. If the group of people are not too stupid, they should understand the meaning of the words just now.
Time passed by every minute, half an hour before I knew it.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
There was a knock on the door, Luke stood up suddenly, opened the door, and couldn't help laughing when he saw a few people appearing outside the door.
"I didn't expect you to come too."
Secretary of Defense Ruman Gunter took off his hat,
"If you want something, you can only come to visit."
"please."
Luke invited a few people into the room, "I thought I had to wait another half an hour."
"It's a matter of national safety, and I can't afford to wait a minute."
Ruman Gunter gave a wry smile and pointed to the people beside him and introduced, "Dornes, the deputy speaker of Congress, Dirk, the director of the Department of Justice, Sam Lane, I will not introduce you, you should know."
The three greeted Luke one after another, and the latter responded one by one.
Ruman Gunter said, "Mr. Xiao, I just ask you one sentence, is there a solution to this matter?"
Luke nodded, "70% sure of winning."
"What about casualties?"
"Within 100,000 people."
Several people breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. There was no more than 100,000 people, which was barely acceptable.
"State your terms, as long as they are within a reasonable range, we will seriously consider them."
Ruman Gunter was much better than Sam Lane, and he was not at all procrastinating.
Luke smiled, "I don't have any needs personally. The conditions I mentioned are all relayed for Linda. You know, she is a Kryptonian. For some reason, she came to live on Earth and regarded this as her second home~www.mtlnovel .com~ She is willing to give strength to this family, so what is the return?"
Ruoman Gunter said without hesitation,
"I hereby guarantee that as long as she is on the side of the earth, she will be respected accordingly, her background, ancestry, and grievances with the FBI will no longer be a problem, and she will get all civil rights."
Luke looked at the other three. "Where are you?"
Dornes and Dirk were silent for a few seconds and nodded one after another.
"It seems we have made a good start."
Luke smiled slightly and continued, "The second is to deal with problems after the war. Linda is a Kryptonian. She can fight for the earth, but it doesn't mean that she wants to see the corpses of her compatriots being used for research. After the war, All the remains of the Kryptonians and the wreckage of the spacecraft must be returned to her."
Dornes said displeased,
"This request is too much. We can return the body to Miss Danvers. The wreckage of the spacecraft is not good. It is spoils of war. In the war that breaks out on the earth, we deserve the right to obtain spoils."
"This is your opinion, she doesn't think so."
"how about you?"
Sam Lane spoke, staring at Luke, "What's your opinion?"
"I am an earthling, of course I am on your side."
Sam Ryan sneered, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Roman Gunter, who said word by word.
"We have agreed to this condition, but the earth needs Krypton technology. Please tell Miss Danvers. If she is willing to provide the wreckage of the spacecraft, we will definitely give it back."
Luke gave him a deep look.
"As expected to be the Minister of Defense, it is really refreshing. I agreed to your request for her."
Sam Lane's eyes widened. "Can you call the shots?"
Luke sneered, "She is my person, why can't I be the master."
