Chapter 254: A Trap Set

In fact, the Dutch are not unaware of Nelson's entry into the Australian Consulate, but they don't know the true identity of the person who entered, after all, many European merchants will also have business conversations with Australians because of business dealings.

Of course, most of them were under their surveillance, after all, they wanted to prevent the Spaniards from coming over and engaging in some secret cooperation with the Australians.

Having tasted the benefits of a new weapon for the first time, they naturally did not want such benefits to be shared by their enemies, and they did not just once ask Australia to form a long-term alliance with them and dissolve relations with Spain.

But the Australians did not agree to the treaty on the grounds that they felt a little uneasy, if the Australians sold weapons to them, it would be a great threat to the Netherlands, not to mention, under the same circumstances, Spain's army combat capability is still quite high.

After all, Spain is a powerhouse, and even if it is going downhill, it will not be so fast, and it will not be so easy to completely defeat them.

If nothing else had been done, Spain would have had a good chance of defeating the Dutch.

Therefore, for those who enter the Australian Consulate, they will pay close attention to their whereabouts as a warning, but they have not yet found out Nelson's identity, although he is from France, it does not mean that he is French.

It could also be the Spaniards, and Nelson did enter the Netherlands through France, so that they would not find out that they were in contact with the Australians.

One is for the sake of one's own safety, and the other is for the sake of successful cooperation, which can catch the other party off guard, after all, once a new weapon is used on the battlefield, it will be a big blow if the other party still doesn't know it.

It's just that the Dutch intelligence work style is very good, and they quickly discovered this matter, especially the unusual thing about Nelson, they felt that Nelson should be a Spanish spy, or a person sent to negotiate, and he must be arrested.

Can't let them cooperate successfully, this is the idea of the Dutch, they dare not touch the Australians, but it does not mean that they do not dare to move the Spaniards.

So the return journey of Nelson was not smooth, it can be said that it was thrilling, the Dutch must catch him and examine it clearly, naturally he also found out that it was wrong, and led people towards the path, so he was chased all the way and finally entered the territory of Spain, which is considered safe.

However, now it seems that the time given to him by Deng Yuanjie is not enough, and the Australians promised to give him a week to half a month, and if it exceeds this time, it will be difficult for them to do it.

Because he was chased by the Dutch, he took a lot of detours and delayed a lot of time, and it took only a week to reach the time, but it took two more days, but fortunately, he finally came back.

"Your Majesty, this is the condition put forward by the Australians, and they propose that if they want to exchange for supplies, it is better to use merino sheep, and he does not lack anything else."

Merino sheep is a national treasure of Spain, wool can be woven into flooring, the main reason for the restriction of exports is that the main export commodities of the Spaniards are wool flooring.

If this is taken away by the Australians, will it not be a threat to its own exports in the future, the king of Spain fell into thought.

The dilemma made it very difficult for him, but the conditions proposed by the Australians were also a bit excessive, and they actually wanted Spain's national treasure.

"Nelson, didn't you fight for it as hard as you could, tell them that if we win the war, we will pay them a higher price compensation."

Australians do not agree with this choice, they want to pay cash, or use the goods in exchange, in exchange for the goods they want to get Merino sheep, they say that Australia is a vast area, there are many natural grasslands, suitable for grazing, so they want to get some Merino sheep.

Merino sheep can't be given, and if they are given, it will have a certain impact on Spain's exports, but if they don't give it, then the Australians can also not sell weapons to them, and they know very well how likely it is to win the war without new weapons.

There is also the question that the Dutch seem to have known about Spain's actions, and it is difficult to say whether they will thwart in the process, but one thing is certain, and that is that Nelson's identity seems to have been revealed.

If they don't step up their actions, they will be ahead of the curve, the Australians say, the Dutch are also buying their weapons, and if Spain does not give an answer, they will most likely sell them something, after all, good goods are not sold.

"Okay, promise them, but the price can't be low, and I'm giving the Australians a requirement that Merino sheep can't be resold to other countries without permission."

In desperation, the King of Spain could only agree, after all, he knew very well how important it was for him to defeat the countries that opposed the rule of the Habsburgs, but there was one thing he had to make clear, and that was that the Australians must not change the Merino sheep.

In fact, it is not much use to put forward this request, after all, in the end, the Merino sheep went out to Australia, and it is their business how they want to play, as for how Spain can manage so much, so in Nelson's view, this proposal is actually a superfluous move, and Australians may not listen to this proposal.

Now he had to go back at once and relay the news to the Australians so that they could know Spain's attitude.

Although Nelson had been exposed, it did not prevent him from returning to see the Australians, after all, the Dutch would not have imagined that he would return suddenly, and in such a short period of time.

So Nelson was very relieved about his return journey, and he only needed to dress up before entering the Netherlands.

Of course, Deng Yuanjie also hopes that he can bring back good news, after all, Merino sheep is what Australia wants, and it is best if it can succeed, and if it can't, it doesn't actually lose anything.

It's just that he thinks that the other party should agree to his request, after all, for Spain, they don't have many resources in their hands, if they don't exchange this, they can only be overseas colonies, and they prefer to exchange merino sheep for colonies.

Deng Yuanjie, who was expected to agree to the other party, naturally did not help Nelson on the way, otherwise how could he escape easily, so all this was in his plan, in fact, the Spaniards did not know that they had already entered the trap set by Australia.
