Shen Youlong is the first assistant of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and also the top leader of the visiting delegation, the purpose of his trip is very clear, to continue to persuade the Australians to support the Ming Dynasty, as long as the Ming army can cross the Yangtze River and unite with the Australian allies, the defeat of the Manchu Qing will inevitably be decided, but the news of the Congress made him a little worried.

My lord, if the Australians really don't support us in the fight, what should we do? In the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, an official accompanying the Ming Dynasty looked at Shen Youlong with a sad face and asked.

During the day, he also heard Zhou Yang's words, those Australians did not want to continue fighting, the anti-war situation in the country was very strong, and even the Lord and the faction did not welcome their visit.

What to do, Shen Youlong also wants to know, but he doesn't know now, how to help, the Australians have two factions of opinion on the war, one faction agrees to continue the war, and the other faction hopes that they will make peace, wait for the economic development of Nanming, and fight across the river.

As a result, it is obvious that the Manchu rule north of the Yangtze River will become more and more solid with time, and most importantly, the people of Jiangbei will continue to cross the river, which will be a very big problem for the Southern Ming regime.

For now, we can only try our best to convince Australians that a speech in Parliament may be our breakthrough.

It is not easy to open this breakthrough, but it is not completely impossible, according to Zhou Yang, most of those main war factions in Australia have military backgrounds, if he can persuade those people to increase investment, maybe there will be unexpected results.

Allowing military enterprises to invest in Nanming will never be agreed to by the Congress, because the degree of secrecy of military enterprises is very strict, and if a technology leaks out, it will be in great trouble.

On the other side, Zhou Yang also met with a group of his friends after finishing the accompanying mission.

At this time, Zhou Yang sat in the middle position, looked at everyone and frowned and said: Lao Shen's desire to fight is very heavy, I think he may have an unexpected gain in tomorrow's Congress.

In this way, the plutocracy of the military-industrial complex wants to continue fighting, and the conservatives do not.

Several people began to discuss the gains and losses of Australia's participation in this war, if from the perspective of Australia's own interests, the more serious the participation in the war, the greater the loss of benefits.

Australia is a country, in terms of population, a small country with a population of less than 200,000 people, and less than 100,000 core citizens, all of whom are still immigrants, and the core personnel who really count themselves should be less than 20,000 people.

Therefore, the internal situation in Australia is actually very complicated, it is better to say that it is a country, but it is better to say that it is a large enterprise, and most of the citizens only work in this large enterprise.

Internal economic welfare or development, otherwise there is no enough conditions to attract talents, just rely on food and clothing to strengthen their identity with Australia is still a little difficult, with the social stability of Nanming, economic development, once the problem of food and clothing is solved, it is inevitable that some people will want to go back, since ancient times the Chinese people have fallen leaves back to the roots, so we need to consider this problem.

So do we support it or not?

My opinion is a small range of support, which has certain interests for us in Australia, in addition to the military industry can export to earn foreign exchange, but also to promote the development of the immigration economy, the most important thing is that we don't have to worry about one thing, that is, once the Ming Dynasty is reunified, we will break the terms of our previous terms.

Zhou Yang, do you think that the Ming Dynasty will break the contract, those are exchanged for real money, can they not recognize it, are they not afraid that we will use force against them?

This speculation is not impossible, once the Ming Dynasty unifies the internal forces, plus the agitation of a group of people with advanced ideas, maybe this kind of thing will really happen, maybe not so soon, but it is very possible within ten years.

We should listen to Lao Shen's opinion and see what he will say in Parliament, I heard that he has found some Ming people who are doing business and studying in Australia, and even some members of the royal family, and asked them to use their connections to persuade MPs.

Well, I've heard about this, but it's hard to say whether I can convince or not, after all, these people don't have much influence.

It can be said that Shen Youlong of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse didn't close his eyes all night, just kept his eyes open and thought until dawn, he didn't know what the result would be today, but he tried his best, and he wouldn't be too unwilling.

My lord, you have not slept all night, and we all know that you did your best in the speech of Congress, and future generations will naturally know.

Well, Shen Yulong nodded, put on his clothes and hat, and then went to the restaurant to eat, in fact, the parliament is not far from Diaoyutai, he is still a little nervous, facing the Australian officials, these people can be said to have decided the future fate of the Ming Dynasty.

He has never been so nervous in the face of the Ming Emperor, not all of these members of the Australian Parliament are official, and some people are even from businessmen, don't look at them as businessmen, but their voice is not low.

Whether a resolution can be passed or not often requires their consent.

At this time, some people were already sitting in the congress meeting one after another, and Zhou Yang, who was a member of the parliament, had naturally arrived, and it was not yet time for the official speech, Shen Youlong's speech was to be after the opening ceremony, so he came over to greet Zhou Yang.

Councilor Zhou, I'm going to have to worry about you and all the councillors today.

Lord Shen does not need to be polite, today's speech is very important to you, I personally agree with the support for continuing to support Daming, and several parliamentarians around me have the same opinion as me, but it still depends on your speech, whether you can move other parliamentarians.

In fact, the group led by Zhou Yang has invested in some companies in Daming, and they naturally hope to maintain a relationship with Daming, which is also beneficial to their interests, but as Australian parliamentarians, they must also ensure Australia's interests.

Anyway, even if Zhou Yang and others agree today, it is useless, we still need to look at the general trend, and in the general environment, others have agreed, and that is the final approval.

Many years later, when the historians of the Ming Dynasty wrote the parliamentary bill in Australia into the history books, it was called the year of the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, and it was from this year that Australia's support for the Ming Dynasty became a long-term project.

So it is inevitable that Shen Youlong is nervous at this moment, his speech is related to whether the Ming Dynasty can recover the northern territories, defeat the Manchus, and various aid projects such as Australia's economic support and so on, he needs to convince the Australians through this speech.
