At the end of the dinner, Nick personally drove Wu Zhengdao and the group to the inn to rest in a carriage. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Regarding Wu Zhengdao's purpose of coming to Batavia this time, Nick didn't ask much during the dinner, but said that tonight was a dinner specially prepared for him, so he didn't talk about anything else.

With Nick's ingenuity, he must be able to see that Wu Zhengdao's visit this time must not be as simple as a simple visit, there are a lot of staff around him, if it is just a simple play, it is impossible to bring so many people here.

The most important thing is that they seem to attach great importance to this trip, and some local officials in Australia have said goodbye before Ziah's departure.

It's just that what the purpose of their trip is, Nick can't figure it out, and Van Dimen is also speculating, although they have established an ambassadorial relationship with the Australians, they have not sent an envoy at present.

"Lao Wu, do you say that the Dutch can agree to our cooperation, this is to send troops to their territory, in case we come to Liu Bei to borrow Jingzhou and not leave, they must not cry."

Fu Helin was a little worried, after all, this was sending people to other people's territory, and it was definitely not so easy.

However, the soldiers selected this time are also 100 people, and 100 people say more or less, if they quickly take the dock and hold it, then the Australian ship can quickly land on the shore.

"It's a hard question to say, we'll know the answer tomorrow, and I think Nick must be thinking about the same question as us, why are we here."

Indeed, Nick and Van Diemen are also speculating that the recent movement of the Spaniards is obvious, and they have sent people to Hong Kong many times, whether this means that there is any secret between them, this is difficult to say.

After resting all night, Wu Zhengdao got up and went out of the room to see Nick, this guy was already waiting in the inn hall, saw someone coming, got up from the chair and stood up.

"Hi Wu, how are you resting?"

"Not bad, Nick, you're here early."

asked for two bowls of wonton noodles, Wu Zhengdao looked at the other party and smiled: Come here early in the morning, you must have a lot of questions, I think you must not have slept well last night, tell me, what do you want to know.

Not to mention, Nick really didn't sleep well, and spent all night wondering why Wu Zhengdao came, whether it was to explain the cooperation between Manila and Hong Kong's overseas consulates, but it shouldn't be that Australians have always done whatever they wanted, and never explained to others.

"Tell me what your purpose in coming to Batavia is, I really want to know."

The problem finally came, Wu Zhengdao squinted and smiled: Can't you guess at all, this is really sorry, I said Nick, this is not like you I know.

"Tell me, why you're here, I really can't guess."

"Well, I'm here to discuss military exchanges with Mr. Governor Van Diemen, the domestic army command initially submitted a plan, hoping that the Australian Army and friendly forces abroad will carry out multi-level exchange activities, the main purpose is to enhance the relationship between the two armies, of course, there are also plans for further cooperation, I don't know if you, Mr. Governor-General, have time to discuss with me."

Wu Zhengdao said the purpose of his coming in one breath, Nick was calm without any expression, but it can be seen that his heart must not be calm, military cooperation has always been what Nick wants, and now I hear that the Australians themselves come to the door to seek cooperation, which is simply a bombshell for them.

"Well, can you tell me what the hell is going on, what kind of military exchanges do you want, and how many people will you send?"

As an officer, Nick first thought of how to communicate, and secondly, how many people came, and it didn't look like an exchange if there were too many people sent, so it was a conspiracy of the Australians.

"There are not many people, mainly joint operations, as well as the issue of capture and rescue, if you agree, we will send a team of 100 people to participate, how about it, is Nick interested, this is a good military exchange and cooperation, it is difficult for our military to take the initiative, so the government sent me to negotiate."

This question, Nick can't guarantee it, after all, the final decision in military cooperation still needs Van Dimen, without his decision, others would not dare to make this decision, so he did not rush to answer, but smiled, I think you may need to give me a little time, I need to report to the governor before I can give you an answer.

"Your Excellency the Governor, this is as it should be, then wait for your good news."

Nick had not finished his bowl of noodles before he hurried out, he really needed to discuss with the Governor, from his original intentions, he wanted to facilitate this cooperation, the main reason was that he wanted to cooperate more closely between the Netherlands and Australia, which would be a big blow to the Spaniards.

In the Governor's Palace, after listening to Nick's report, Van Dimen thought about it, what we want most is to cooperate with the Australian Navy, not the Army, what is the real purpose of what he can do.

Van Dimen is not stupid, in short, he can't figure out why the army is cooperating.

"Your Excellency the Governor, I think this may be a concern on the part of the Australians, who want to use the Army to see if we can work with us further, and I think we should agree."

But "the Australians in Hong Kong, who are in frequent contact with the Spaniards, and what is their purpose in doing this, we must be vigilant, a hundred soldiers can easily take the shore forts and docks, and once they take there, it will be easy to attack Batavia." ”

I have to say that Van Dimen thinks long-term enough, and he can see the potential huge threat from a simple incident, and it is more than enough to be the governor.

"Your Excellency the Governor, I don't think the Australians will do this, we should trust the other side once, see their sincerity, why don't we put forward a more stringent condition, let their troops sell us the rifles in their hands after they have cooperated, what do you think?"

Nick personally tested the Australian rifle in Australia, and knew how powerful it was, so he offered his own plan at this time, but he still had to strengthen the embankment, after all, the military strength of the Australians was too strong.

Van Dimen finally agreed to the request, and he would not object to the cooperation between the two sides, and hoped that both sides would respect each other.

After Nick got the consent, he immediately sent the good news to Wu Zhengdao, and at this time, my old Wu was leisurely reading a book and waiting for his arrival.
