Obviously, this is really an issue that needs to be discussed.

According to the earliest historical sources, the Dutch navigator Captain Tasker had passed through the area about fifteen years earlier, sailing along the coastline of the Gulf of Carpentaria and occasionally landing to visit nearby areas, but the captain described the natives along the coast in his logbook as "bad and evil" people.

Captain Tasker says that they have little idea of trade, except for some barter, and even barter is rare.

Because this is a society that takes the hunter's head and the human brain as the glory of victory, and it is a primitive tribal civilization that regards recklessness and ruthlessness as the royal way.

When there is a need for external material things, people here are more inclined to rob than to exchange peacefully and reciprocally.

So Tasker concludes that this continent is not suitable for us Dutch to do business here, so this continent has no meaning for us.

Zhu Beiguo expressed his feelings about this at the meeting, saying that in the face of a country like the Netherlands, which is composed of merchants and merchants, I cannot put the title of Western invader on their heads.

Although everyone had different opinions on Brother Zhu's views, everyone still had a consensus: that is, the Dutch were obviously different from the Spaniards and later the British, the former was a commercial country, and looked at things more pragmatically, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were sleek and sophisticated.

Historical facts have also proved that even if such a commercial country becomes stronger, it is at best a purely commercial empire.

However, the Spaniards were very different from the later English, the French, especially the British, who not only became a commercial empire, but also became a colonial power, and especially liked to promote their own values.

The Spaniards, in particular, the rulers of this country, always had great zeal to make the natives believe in God wherever they went.

The Spaniards, who were fanatical in their religion, in the cities they founded, the most beautiful and magnificent buildings were not commercial streets, or even governor's palaces, but cathedrals, monasteries, and affiliated ecclesiastical universities.

The Dutch, on the other hand, were much more "flexible" in that they could kneel to the Qing Emperor and compromise with the Japanese shogunate for the sake of trade, and they did not care that they were misinterpreted or even hostile to their Protestant teachings.

Of course, the Protestant Dutch took their faith seriously, except that they had no intention of converting others, and were not as keen as the Spaniards to export their faith.

In fact, this is also the main reason why Zhu Beiguo later devoted himself to establishing a solid Australian-Dutch alliance in Nanyang for a long time, and strongly advocated good relations with the Dutch.

He believes that the Netherlands in this era, the so-called coachman of the sea, is really just an errand coachman.

The Dutch used their seafaring skills to make a profit from the exchange of goods all over the world, including in the South Seas, and from the exchange of goods between the mainland, Japan, and the countries of the South Seas.

Therefore, Zhu Beiguo insisted that the Dutch are the right-hand men of the future Australian Federation, because the other party is a businessman, has a strong trade network and means of transportation, and we have goods that are ahead of the times, so as long as the two sides communicate well, the Dutch will actively do business with us, and then let our goods expand their influence and sell them all over the world.

At this time, Gu Jin found that the discussion was slightly off topic, so he spoke in time to pull the topic back, saying that if Captain Tasker's description was accurate, it was obvious that the natives here were not the kind of people who could get along with outsiders.

However, it doesn't matter whether they have a trade concept or not, what matters is what kind of response we should take in case we encounter such natives.

At this time, Ren Ke blurted out:

"Preemptive! Don't hesitate to shoot at the slightest situation, even if you have reasonable suspicion that the other party has bad intentions, even if you shoot, don't hesitate, because your hesitation can be fatal! ”

What do you mean by that? Doesn't it feel a bit too much to shoot if you don't agree with each other? ”

At this time, someone retorted.

"It's not excessive, you think it's excessive, that's because you are a civilized person, and there are always some moral behavior bottom lines in your heart, but I want to tell you that people are different, due to the difference in civilization, sometimes the difference between people is greater than the difference between people and monkeys!"

Zhu Beiguo listened to Ren Ke's words and immediately nodded yes, and then added:

"What Ren Ke said makes sense, because the other party will never think that what you said is too much, and he will directly kill you, and once you hesitate at that time, you may really have to suffer......

"It's a bit ruined......"

"But I don't think the two big brothers seem to be able to refute the truth......"

"Don't disagree with me......"

Ren Ke said and glanced at everyone, and continued:

"Let's reasonably infer here, first of all, in the wilderness, the natives should be more warlike and flexible than us, right? And there aren't so many moral constraints in people's minds, you can't even expect this group of cannibals to have any sense of morality!

For us, being in a strange and sinister environment is already very disadvantageous, and then people are still in the dark, we are in the light, once there is a storm, if we don't preemptively let others give us a guy first, it will definitely be a big loss......"

"Yes, under normal circumstances, if your enemy appears, it is usually tens of meters away, and if you have good eyes, you will see a group of small, naked men covered in different colors, and then staring at you with a pair of red eyes......"

At this time, Yue Chu said a word to Zhou Rui and the others who were sitting next to him.

"! It's so graphic! ”

"Is it that serious?"

"Why the red eyes?"

"Because we drink human blood and human brains! Because of eating human flesh! People who eat too much become like this, and usually these people don't get enough sleep...... Ay! Don't laugh! I'll tell you, I've looked up a lot of information! ”

Facing everyone's skeptical eyes, Yue Chu was a little anxious, and he hurriedly explained in a loud voice.

"Yue Chu is right, about the cannibals in the Nanyang region and the Australian continent, there are many travelers, naturalists and missionaries in the old world, and they have published countless books and notes, so you can see for yourself......

At this time, Xu Zhi had a sallow face, leaned on a chair, put one arm on the shoulder next to him, and said to everyone in a somewhat forceful tone.

In the past two days, he has been treated a little miserably by Captain Gu's fear of heights, so he vomits a little bit these days.

So Wei @ Hong also turned his head to Xu Zhi and nodded to Xu Zhi and added next to him:

"Brother Xu is right, do you know what the weapon in the hands of the natives is? I looked it up in the reference room, and they had a kind of wooden spear in their hands, and a kind of flying device.

Feed! Don't laugh, don't underestimate the wooden spear, this rattan spear is very elastic and tough, and can be used for hand-to-hand combat as well as long-range throwing attacks. The fact that the natives were able to pierce the crocodile's back with this weapon shows that it is tough and sharp!

Crucially, the wooden spear is also poisonous, and they usually use a poisonous thick rattan to make the body of the wooden spear. The tip of the spear is then sharpened into a stone, or a sharp flint is stuck at the tip, which is then inserted into sewage and dung for several days, and then brought to the fire to harden, a process that may be repeated several times until the tip is reddish-brown or dark blue.

Excuse me, would you like to be stabbed by the tip of this spear? Even if the skin is scratched by a wooden spear, your wound may fester, and you may even get sepsis! By the way, Brother Dai, do you have medicine for sepsis in the medical box next to you? ”

Wei @ Hong suddenly remembered this question when he said this.
