Chapter 241: In the end, it was a compromise

After receiving Van Diemen's request, the staff of the Australian Embassy immediately started a dialogue with the Australian Navy, asking whether the operation was related to Batavia, and the Navy Commander Wang Tiehammer replied that this was a military operation as usual and had nothing to do with Batavia.

However, Wang Tiehammer asked the embassy staff to tell Van Diemen that the Australian military was concerned about the Dutch sending spies, and hoped that they could give a reasonable explanation.

Another reasonable explanation, how many reasonable explanations do the Australians want, the previous time in order to give them a reasonable explanation, Van Diemen gave away a large territory, but now he has to give a reasonable explanation, which makes him very much want to say directly to the other party, damn it, you have to pay the price for this banditry.

But if you want to make the Australians pay, such a thing is obviously impossible, the Australians have ten warships parked in the open sea, whether it is the merchant ships entering and leaving, or the soldiers in Batavia, they are very nervous, especially some soldiers who have conducted joint training with the Australians, they know too well the combat effectiveness of the Australians, they are simply not people, that group of perverts.

But no matter how nervous they are, they just want to stop in your open sea, and you can't do anything with him, and as long as you dare to go to war first, others will definitely let you know what war is, and the ten battleships of the Australians are not vegetarians.

Routine military operation, Van Dimen got the news from the Australian Embassy, this damn Australian, ten warships drove to someone else's door, can actually say that this is a routine military operation, this is too bullshit, are they all so arrogant and unreasonable.

In the face of this explanation of the Australians, he obviously didn't like it, not to mention that this was obviously not a normal military operation, if this was a routine military operation, then the Australian old man definitely had the intention of attacking Batavia.

Van Diemen has always had the feeling that the Australians are very interested in Southeast Asia, and they are constantly increasing their troops and expanding their colonies in this region, which shows that they are very interested in this place, and more importantly, they have this strength, which is one of the main reasons why people feel scared.

If they didn't have that strength, the Dutch wouldn't necessarily be afraid of Australia, but the Australians had that kind of strength, they could attack Batavia, take it, and expel themselves, even if they didn't have the strength themselves, as long as they did it with the Spaniards, it would be no problem, but they weren't very willing to do it.

It is for this reason that Van Dimen sent many spies to Australia to investigate their secrets, hoping that after obtaining Australian technology, it can be used to improve the current situation, but what he didn't expect was that there was something wrong with this matter.

Not only did he fail to get the technical information of the Australians, but he was caught, and he was also asked to give an explanation, which made Van Dimen very depressed, after all, he must pay the price if he was caught, so he had to admit it and gave the Australians some land as compensation, but what he didn't expect was that the other party actually sent a warship, which made him a little unbearable.

Australians' behavior is obviously excessive, but compared to the fact that they sent spies to infiltrate various industries in Australia, he didn't think it was excessive at all, and even thought that this was a very normal thing, after all, did it cause substantial losses to Australia.

It was with this idea that Van Diemen finally made mistakes again and again, constantly sending spies to Australia, and he didn't even have the slightest idea about those spies who had lost their news.

It can be said that Van Diemen is a very arrogant person, he will do things once he decides, and most importantly, he is very stubborn, even if he knows that those spies have been caught, he will still send people into Australia as usual, which is the main reason for his stubbornness.

The arrogant Van Diemen always thought that he could control everything, but when he met the Australians, he felt that he was wrong to face the Australians, he could not know what was in their hearts, so he could only choose to keep compromising.

But compromise is not necessarily security, security has never been bought by compromise, and if compromise can be exchanged for security, then how could Spain have ended up like this.

When watching the Australian warships docked in the open sea, Van Dimen was also sitting and preparing with both hands, one hand preparing for war and the other preparing for negotiations.

In fact, negotiation is what Van Dimen wants to do most, after all, peace can only be achieved through negotiation. The only thing that can be done now is to continue to communicate with the Australian military through the embassy.

The Australian military expressed concern, and what this shows shows that Australians feel that the benefits given are not big enough, so they want greater benefits. But how much benefit can I give to Australia.

Apart from the land around Malacca, Van Dimen does not want to give other sites.

Once the Australians are allowed to grow in this area, it will be the biggest threat to the Netherlands.

However, while he was talking to the Australian Navy, Nick's news was sent to Batavia through a search of Australian merchant ships.

What do the Australians want, they want compensation, this is simply unacceptable, Van Dimen was so angry that the letter sent back by Nick was directly on the ground, for him, this is simply unacceptable, but when he thought of the warships in the open sea, he was instigated, if this battle is fought, it is better to say that it is better to win it, but once it is lost, it will be very difficult to do.

Once lost, it is not as simple as the Australians, but the power of the entire Southeast Asian region, the Spanish and Portuguese and the British will come up to get a piece of the pie, so no matter how strong the appearance must be guaranteed, otherwise once lost, it will not be as simple as war.

After calming down and thinking about it, Van Dimen decided to pay a certain amount of compensation, after all, money is something outside of his body, so it is better to pay them a sum of money directly.

To put it bluntly, the Australians actually have nothing to do and want to find some reason to attack Batavia, so as long as they try to follow their wishes, if they still want to attack, it will be morally unjustifiable.

As an expansionist maniac, Fan Dimen also has a certain understanding of Oriental culture, not to mention that he gave a large number of immigrants from the Ming Dynasty in Batavia a certain right to manage it, which means that he understands Oriental culture.

After some serious consideration, he decided to compromise and do what the Australians had asked.
