If Australia and the Netherlands want to cooperate, they must come up with something to reach an agreement, and last time Wu Zhengdao asked for a piece of land to buy a piece of land in order for Australia's steamships to have a coal station and supply point in the future.

At that time, the other party did not immediately agree, but gave a request to His Excellency the Governor. If the Dutch really want to cooperate with Australia, I am afraid that they will definitely take out a few pieces of land in exchange, and the Australians in exchange will not retreat.

Once they fought the Spaniards, the rear forces would be empty, and the Australians, who had a certain strength, would inevitably become their most feared objects, and if they could be kept to themselves, it would be a good thing for the Dutch.

In order to avoid an attack on his rear, Van Diemen sent Nick to negotiate, hoping for deeper military cooperation with the Australians.

"Mr. Governor wants to cooperate with Australia, you can tell me what the areas are, but I would like to remind you that if it is in the case of ships and weapons, then you don't need to mention it, these two kinds of cooperation are strictly prohibited by the government of the country."

Wu Zhengdao's reminder again also let Nick know that the desire to cooperate with the Australians in ship technology may not be so easy to solve with a few trade cooperation, after all, the technology they came up with is ahead of the whole of Europe, which is not denied.

With the Australian ship technology, the fleet can come to the East almost without relying on the monsoon, which will increase transportation efforts and save costs.

Being able to ship to the East every month will greatly reduce the cost of some items, and at the same time expand the purchase of Oriental goods by European consumer groups.

After all, at this time, Europe was still in the Thirty Years' War, and on the whole, the lives of the nobles and the common people were actually not much better, the nobles had to continue to fight, and many things were too late to enjoy, and if the price was too high, the average small nobles could not afford to consume it.

The Dutch are very savvy in doing business, and they see this, so they would love to have the technology, but the Australians have made it clear that it is not possible.

Of course, Nick didn't exactly come towards this this time, their main purpose was to cooperate militarily, hoping to fight the Spaniards with the Australians.

When Nick said this question, Wu Zhengdao was a little surprised, fight against the Spaniards together, this is not wrong, if I am not mistaken, the Spaniards have been almost cleaned up by the Netherlands at this time.

Could it be that there is something wrong with history, or that the Dutch deliberately set up a trap waiting for the Australians to jump into it, but it seems that there is no need to think about it.

Set a trap for the Australians to jump in, why is this, did the Dutch see that Australia has more strength than them, so they came up with such a trick.

"The Spaniards have recently sent 3,000 soldiers from their homeland to the Far East, which is more than the strength of my Dutch East India Company, so we hope to cooperate with the Australians to defeat the Dutch together, and if you agree, we can hand over the place of Malacca to you, including Luzon in the future, and you also have half of the management."

With half of the administration of Luzon, the Dutch seem to have a bit of a big appetite, which means that they want to take Manila and Luzon, and they have now set their sights on Luzon instead of Dayuan Island, which makes Wu Zhengdao very surprised.

The expansion maniac, Van Diemen, why is his ambition so big, and he really wants to take Manila, doesn't that mean that the whole of Southeast Asia must be controlled by the Dutch.

This is not a good thing for Australia, and once Spain, which has been operating here for many years, is driven away, it will not be a problem for the Dutch to fight against Australia, which has not been around for long.

As for Van Dimen's increase in Spanish troops in the Far East, this estimate was made up by them, if there is really an increase in troops, it is impossible for Zhou Billy not to know about such a big thing, even if the intelligence network has not been established well, but there are still a few people left in Manila, it is impossible for them not to know such a thing.

Since there is no intelligence to prove it, there is only one possibility, the Dutch deliberately fabricated this lie to get Australia to attack Manila with them and then divide their colonies.

"Interfering in the internal affairs of other countries is absolutely impermissible, Mr. Nick, you should be aware of this." Wu Zhengdao once again stressed Australia's consistent stand of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries.

But in the eyes of the Dutch, it is actually the Australian's excuse, and if you really want not to interfere, why did Daming establish such a base, which fully illustrates the problem.

"Wu, you may have misunderstood, this is not interference, the Spaniards are very cruel to your fellow Orientals, don't you want to avenge them?"

Nick has also learned to start agitating people, but he is not a good drummer, and it is almost useless to say such words to Wu Zhengdao.

There was nothing wrong with the massacre carried out by the Spaniards, but in fact, the people of the Crossing had different opinions on this matter, and it would be a bit too petty to go to them for this matter, saying that the existence of Spain was the best threat to the Dutch.

With them, the Netherlands will not dare to covet Australia, they must take into account that once they move, the Spaniards will also take action after them, but once Australia unites with them to fight against Spain and completely drive them out of the Far East, it will be different, without containment, Australia will directly face the threat from the Netherlands.

Of course, Wu Zhengdao will definitely not agree to this kind of stupid thing, and neither will the members of the Executive Committee, this is a pit dug for himself, and if he jumps into it, it will be over.

"Nick can cooperate militarily, but against the Spaniards, this is probably a little difficult, you must know that the Spaniards are also our trading partners, once the war starts, we will lose a lot, not only will we lose the market in Manila, but this war will not necessarily win."

Attacking Manila is not Dayuan Island, the degree of construction here is much stronger than the defense of several fortresses on Dayuan Island, and the Spaniards have been operating here for many years, how can it be so easy for people to attack it, so this joint military alliance is not a good thing, even if it attacks Manila, Australia does not have so many troops to manage here, and in the end it is the Netherlands that gets the most benefits.

No matter what happens in the end, it is the Netherlands that benefits the most, so Wu Zhengdao directly said his thoughts, which is equivalent to directly telling the other party his thoughts.

Of course, Nick didn't expect Wu Zhengdao to know that in fact, Spain did not transfer troops. If he knew, I am afraid that he would have negotiated in another way, after all, he is also a senior diplomat, and once he knows that the other party understands the situation, he will definitely adjust it as quickly as possible. Now he seems to be a little passive, and the conversation has not been smooth at the beginning, which makes Nick a little worried.
