Although Shen Youlong was quite hesitant to visit Australia, he finally boarded the perfect battleship for a half-month interview under the persuasion of his staff.

The visit was at the invitation of the President of Australia, and of course the most important thing was to discuss the attitude of both sides towards the Manchus.

The Manchus demanded peace talks and ruled by dividing the river, which was a respite for both sides, but the officials of the Ming Dynasty might not agree.

And judging from Lao Shen's attitude, the same is true, Lao Shen hopes that the Australian coalition can help the Ming Dynasty defeat the Manchus together and restore the northern country.

But if this war is fought, I am afraid it will not be resolved so quickly, after all, this war is a war of attrition, Australia's troops are limited, and it is actually very difficult to completely defeat the Manchus.

So both sides are thinking about how to convince each other, in order to welcome the arrival of Shen Youlong, it can be said that Australia has done a lot of work.

Of course, those domestic spies bore the brunt and were cleared as soon as possible.

The Perfect started from Guangzhou in the Ming Dynasty and arrived at Chang'an City, the capital of Australia, compared to the desolate time when the people landed, the current Chang'an has begun to take on a scale, and the population is about to exceed 150,000.

This may not be comparable to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, but the buildings and streets here are very neat and clean, and the high-rise buildings in Daxia shuttle among the houses of different heights, giving people a sense of staggered.

As soon as Lao Shen got off the boat, he was shocked by the honor team of the three armed forces in Australia, and the strength of the Australian army can be seen with this neat military posture and height.

"Lord Shousuke is visiting for the first time, and please come with me to review the three armed forces, which is a kind of diplomatic etiquette in my country."

Xu Renguo smiled and stretched out his hand, and Lao Shen walked away side by side.

Reviewing the guard of honor is just a kind of etiquette, and it is also a declaration of the strength of the Australian army, of course, the most important thing is to reassure the other party and let him know the strength of Australia.

In the words of Wu Zhengdao, this is simply a superfluous move, can Daming not know the strength of Australia, and the heroes of the Australian army can not know about the land.

This is formalism at work, what these guys think, he knows it very well in his heart, but it's not a bad thing, so he doesn't bother to care.

In the evening, Xu Renguo welcomed their arrival on behalf of the Australian government, and held a dinner party attended by high-ranking officials and businessmen from Australia, as well as some Ming people living in Australia.

My lord, this trip has made me see a lot of good things, this Australian is really extravagant, this crystal lamp is everywhere, they are not afraid of someone stealing it.

A Ming official who followed him sat next to Shen Youlong and talked about what he had seen and heard.

With a smile on the face of the ambassador to Australia, it seems that he had already guessed that his colleagues would think like this.

Although this crystal lamp is precious, it is indeed produced in Australia, so the price is not very high, and the Australians deliberately control the number of exports, so it has become a rare thing in Daming.

"Cheng Ming, you are the ambassador to Australia, what do you mean by talking about the Australians, and whether they will send troops to Daming to continue to help us."

Lao Shen also knew that he didn't know much about Australia, so the first thing he thought of was to ask this person and listen to his thoughts.

Lao Shen actually didn't know what the Australians thought, but judging from the contact situation, the other party didn't seem to be very willing to send troops.

"The Australians have always put interests first, and if there are no interests, they will naturally not send troops, so their subordinates believe that the willingness of the Australians to send troops is not large, they hope that the two sides will negotiate peace, and the idea of the Manchu side is also peace talks, so it is difficult for them to continue to increase troops."

Cheng Ming actually didn't say one thing, that is, Australia has more and more overseas colonies, and their relationship with the Netherlands is very delicate, and if one is not good, there may be a war, so they should not send troops.

Australia is an ally with us, will they watch their allies being bullied?

My lord, the people in Australia actually do not support the government's sending troops to us, and if they do, it is very likely to attract opposition from the people, so they must be cautious.

Australia is different from the Ming Dynasty, whatever the court says is what it is, and it is difficult for the people to participate in state affairs, but Australia is different, if the people do not support you, it is possible to let the president step down, for the sake of his political career, it is estimated that no one will be willing to do this.

What can be done now is to wait for the strength to wait, waiting for the day when the Australians are in a good mood and send troops, but this is not what Shen Yulong wants, if he convinces the Australians.

In any case, the purpose of our trip is to convince the Australians to support us.

The same thing happened in the Australian Parliament, where Australian officials were discussing how to get Lao Shen to agree to peace talks.

"Actually, it's very simple, if you don't obey, let's just replace him, I don't believe I really can't find a more suitable person than him."

"Not to mention, Lao Shen's current reign is in the greatest interest to us, others may not be able to do as well as him, and the most important thing is that his reputation is there, so it is not so casual to change, I think everyone should know this."

In order to prevent these hot-headed guys from doing something out of the ordinary, Wu Zhengdao had to remind them.

Of course, in the eyes of many people, in fact, Lao Shen is still good, if he is replaced by another person, if he does not have some ability, and he can't manage the existing south of the Yangtze River, it will be zero, so it is best to let him sit in that position.

Lao Shen's idea is nothing more than wanting the Australian army to help him recover the north of the country, which is not wrong, but now is obviously not the time, Australia is facing the second wave of domestic development, and the domestic economy is also growing slowly, if there is a war, many domestic materials will not be available in the first place.

This is one of the main reasons, and at the same time, there are Dutch people staring at Australia's territory, if the army is sent to the Ming Dynasty, it is very dangerous for Australia.

That's why Australia advocates peace talks between the Ming Dynasty and the Manchus, which is the best choice, and only by letting them negotiate peace can Australia free up its hands for development, and at the same time be able to deal with the Dutch.
