The negotiations with the Dutch were successful, and in addition to strengthening the previous trade cooperation, the two sides will deepen cultural exchanges and mutual assistance, and most notably, the two sides announced that they will send ambassadors to the country in general.

This is a historic moment for Australia, as the first region in Australia's history to establish a diplomatic object will go down in history, and the Dutch in Batavia will officially become Australia's diplomatic relations.

As for the military alliance proposed by Nick before, it has not yet been passed, and the other party has not continued to ask about this issue, the main reason is that Elder and Nick both know that it seems a little unrealistic to have a military alliance with the Australians at this time, so they did not submit this issue again.

The Dutch merchant ship full of goods was about to leave the wharf of Chang'an Town, and Wu Zhengdao, who was in charge of reception, gave the other party a farewell ceremony at the wharf.

"Nick, I wish you a smooth journey, and I hope to see you next time," Wu Zhengdao shook the other party's hand and said cordially.

"Of course, I think we'll definitely have time to meet again."

After bidding farewell to the Dutch, Wu Zhengdao went to the telegraph office and asked the telegraph operator to send a telegram to Zhou Yang in Hong Kong, and the Executive Committee authorized him to negotiate the construction of a coal station in Manila on his plenipotentiary behalf.

This matter can not be delayed, the longer it drags on, the greater the interests of Australia, Lin Wendong gave the news that at the end of this month, the first assembled steamship will be launched, and it will be put into use after successful sea trials after launching.

After it is put into use, it means that the coal station is needed, and Batavia is currently under construction, but there is no progress in Manila, and the Spaniards in Manila do not have official dealings with Australia, and most of the time the exchanges between the two sides are composed of private businessmen.

The decision to send Zhou Yang to discuss was also made after consideration, and the fact that he was closer to Manila in Hong Kong was also suitable for negotiation.

However, there is no official communication between the two sides, and it will take some time to cooperate with them, after all, the Spaniards in Manila slaughtered Shchenko there.

This history cannot be forgotten, so it is really difficult to determine what their attitude is at the moment.

After receiving the telegram, Zhou Yang was first pleased that the Executive Committee had left him four ships, and then he saw the intention of asking him to be plenipotentiary, which was obviously telling him to make contact with Spain as soon as possible.

Although this telegram was in a hurry, Zhou Yang was not in a hurry, there was no need to be too anxious to contact the Spaniards, he thought of a person, Yan Jianye had cooperated with the Spaniards before, but in the end, the cooperation was not completed, and Yan Jianye was defeated by the Zheng family.

This has to be said to be a blow to Yan Jianye, but at the same time, the reason why he launched an attack in advance was also a move made after seeing that the Spaniards would not send troops easily.

If the Spaniards would send troops, I'm afraid he wouldn't have acted so easily in advance,

Now that Yan Jianye has moved his family to Hong Kong, the reason why he moved here was completely because he was afraid of leaving the sight of Australians, so Zheng Zhilong assassinated him.

Zhou Yang had already assured him that nothing like this would happen, but he still didn't believe it and thought it wasn't that simple.

Zhou Yang was a little speechless to him, since he could give a guarantee, he must have negotiated with the Zheng family, otherwise how could he say it, the Zheng family had no voice after Zhou Yang came forward, and the main reason why Zheng Zhibao was not removed was to show the authority of the Zheng family.

But now it seems that this display of theirs made Yan Jianye very scared, and it was certain that it would take at least a while for him to completely get rid of this shadow in his heart.

Zhou Yang called Yan Jianye in, ready to let him contact the Spaniards, after all, he had previous experience dealing with the Spaniards.

Yan Jianye bowed respectfully to Zhou Yang, saluted, and then sat down under his instructions.

"Jianye, I heard that you have cooperated with the Spaniards before, I don't know if you still have contact now."

The question was so sudden that Yan Jianye didn't have time to think about what he meant by asking.

"Governor Zhou, the little one has no contact with the Spaniards, and since he came back from the last defeat, he has no contact."

Now the situation is unclear, Yan Jianye doesn't know what he means by asking, so as long as he answers, there is no contact.

I don't have any contact, I hear that Mr. Christie seems to have been looking for you lately.

Zhou Yang has the agent Zhou Billy here, and he wants to know what is not easy to capture, and how can he escape his eyes.

Christie did meet with Yan Jianye, a Manila-based celebrity who is currently in Hong Kong, but did not directly contact the Hong Kong overseas consular government, but found their old partner Yan Jianye.

"My lord, the little one has indeed seen it, but you can rest assured, the little one is absolutely loyal to the Australian dynasty and has never done anything to harm the Australian dynasty."

Putting aside the relationship and showing loyalty, this is what everyone who defects to sincerity will be eager to show when they encounter this kind of thing.

Don't panic, Jianye, you have nothing to do with the Spaniards, if you can, I would like to meet this Mr. Christie, how about you introduce us.

Yan Jianye looked at Zhou Yang with puzzled eyes, and after making sure that he had heard correctly, he nodded and agreed.

"Alright, you can contact this Mr. Christie as soon as possible."

"My lord, don't worry, as long as you want, you can meet him today."

"Oh."

Yan Jianye immediately began to explain to the puzzled Zhou Yang, it turned out that Christie came to Hong Kong in the hope of catching up with the Australians, but he heard that the Australians were very angry about the massacre, and even had a voice, so he decided to let Yan Jianye introduce him.

It's just that Yan Jianye has just re-surrendered to Cheng not long ago, and at this time he is also afraid of causing misunderstanding among Australians, so he has not said it, but is ready to find an appropriate time to tell Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang called him here today, it turned out that it was for this matter, so he immediately promised that as long as Zhou Yang was willing, he would be able to meet the No. 3 person in Manila.

Christie has been in Hong Kong for almost five days, and has not yet been introduced by Yan Jianye, so he is also very anxious at this time, if it is not for the sudden visit to the door, which will cause disgust among Australians, it will be estimated that he will not wait and go directly to Zhou Yang to negotiate.
