The Dutch were the first to receive the news that the Australian giant ship had appeared at the dock, and then Van Diemen was very attentive to the construction of the Batavia Embassy, and in general, this guy just gave a lot of convenience and made the whole construction work smoother.

All this is just to please the Australians, who also come from the East, they are very polite to people, as long as they are good to them, they believe that the Australians will not easily offend them, this can be guaranteed.

Many times when the Dutch are in the relationship with the Australians, they will learn from the way they deal with the Eastern Ming, of course, this way is also right, after all, the crossing is deeply influenced by the culture of the Confucian tradition, although it comes from later generations, but after all, it belongs to the same line as the Ming Dynasty.

There is a lot in common between the two sides, and for Van Diemen, having a good relationship with the Australians means working more closely with them.

The appearance of the Aussie was also an opportunity for the Dutch to use it to deepen their cooperation against the Spaniards.

The Spaniards in Manila have always been a big problem for the Netherlands, and if they are not eradicated, this is equivalent to burying a nail in Van Dimen's side, unable to eat or sleep, and thinking most about how to deal with the Spaniards.

Although he was a little worried that the Australians would suddenly attack them, after some thought, he felt that this was not very likely, and the Australians would not do it, on the basis that Australia did not have great ambitions for foreign expansion.

In fact, if the strength of the Australians wants to expand externally, I am afraid that even the Netherlands is not their opponent, but they have learned from the contact with the Australians in the past six months that the Australians do not seem to have such great ambitions for external expansion.

The only initiative they took to expand externally was to lease a piece of territory from the Ming Dynasty, but in a strict sense, it could not be regarded as an expansion.

Even if the Dutch repeatedly blocked the news of the reappearance of the Australian giant ship at the docks, it could not prevent the Spanish intelligence officers from getting the news, although Manila did not deploy intelligence personnel in Australia, they had quite a few intelligence personnel in Batavia.

As soon as the ship from Australia back to Batavia appeared at the docks, they had already noticed the situation, and the people on board disembarked and went directly to the Governor's Palace, which showed that they had something very important to report.

So they were sure that it was a very useful piece of news, so they should have learned about the situation by lurking in the Governor's Palace, and it turned out that there was really something important, and the huge ship that the Australians had not been able to appear suddenly appeared, and what did it mean, it meant that they could negotiate and cooperate with the Australians.

It is difficult to say whether there will be such a thing as a Dutch-Australian union, but one thing is for sure, the Dutch take this matter very seriously, otherwise Van Diemen's character would certainly not take it so seriously.

It's hard to say what Spain should do, so in the end the news was sent back to Manila, where there are no Australian left-behind personnel, which is far worse than the Netherlands.

After all, there is an Australian embassy in Batavia, but not in Manila, which makes it impossible for the two sides to communicate quickly, and the governor of Manila feels the need to set up an embassy for the first time, otherwise it will be too troublesome to run to Hong Kong.

"Mr. Christie, what do you think we should do, whether the Australians will cooperate with the Netherlands against us, which is very important for us to write here."

The Governor of Manila was a little uneasy, after all, the closer the Dutch and the Australians go, the more he feared, and the strength between the two sides was not much worse than that of Spain, so it was difficult to say what would happen between them in the end.

As a person who mainly negotiates with Australians, Christie's opinion is very important, so it is impossible for such a major event to leave him.

Mr. Governor, I think we should pay a visit to the Australian mainland, which is an important signal of the exchange between two friendly countries, and the Dutch attach great importance to it, and they have even set up an embassy in Chang'an, which we must learn from.

According to Christie's idea, if Manila wants to maintain friendly exchanges with Australia, it is not enough to rely on a little benefit given, and the two sides must deepen cooperation.

Like the Dutch, they did a very good job of this, setting up an embassy in Australia, and Australia also had an embassy in Batavia, and the first thing between the two sides could be to talk to each other through the ambassador.

This is a good bilateral communication mechanism that Manila should learn from.

"So, Mr. Christie, do you think we should do a better job of cooperating with Australia, for example, by setting up an equivalent embassy, or that we should invite them to set up an embassy with us."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor, we should do, after all, the Australians are too important to us, and as long as they remain neutral, it will not be so easy for the Dutch to attack us, but if they participate in the Dutch plan, it will be very disadvantageous to us."

Christie is a smart man, the Dutch want to drive Spain out of the Far East, it is not a day or two to have such an idea, but they do not have this ability, after all, Manila has been built longer than Batavia, Spain still has a considerable advantage here, but if the situation changes, it is difficult to say, for example, if the Dutch and another strong competitor against Spain, the success rate will be much greater.

So Manila's choice is not to keep their relationship too close, as long as the Australians maintain a neutral attitude, as for wanting them to be on their side, they have thought about it, but they think it is a bit unrealistic.

In such a situation, it is important to understand the needs of Australia as much as possible, and to meet them, to stand with them, and to maintain a relationship with them.

If the governor of Manila is a little uneasy, then Christie's heart is even more uneasy, he is worried about how the Dutch will fight against the Australians, according to the big ship he has seen, it seems that it can crush everything, no wonder Van Diemen will attach so much importance to it, indicating that they also hope that the Australians can stand by their side and fight against Spain together, but now they don't know what the situation is, and only a trip to Hong Kong can learn the real situation.
