Chapter 253: Merino Sheep

Merino sheep is the raw material of high-grade wool textiles, and in addition to the fact that Australia has a lot of natural pastures, the vast hell is very suitable for grazing, so there is no reason to waste such good conditions, in this case, it is necessary to introduce some high-grade breeds of species. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In the early stage, some grass mud horses and horses have been introduced, as well as buffalo cattle, etc., but the introduction of merino sheep has been restricted, after all, this thing is equivalent to the national treasure of Spain, they will not agree so easily, and it will take a lot of words to introduce it.

After all, this is someone's national treasure, how can it be given to you so easily, just like a giant panda, it is a national treasure, it is impossible to give it to you easily, if you want to get it, you must negotiate to get it.

Although Nelson heard what Deng Yuanjie meant, there was no way, after all, what people said was the truth, Spain really might not be able to come up with so much money, don't look at the glamorous Spain on the surface, but in fact, the internal problems are very big, which only they know.

To outsiders, Spain was still a formidable presence, but after the end of the Thirty Years' War, they knew it; The Boss Empire has entered a dormant period, in fact, this phenomenon has been manifested for a long time, but most people have not yet discovered it.

If you want weapons, you have to pay, and the Australian means obviously, you can't pay on credit, so it seems that you have to pay, no money is no weapons, of course, he also thought about finding Australians to accommodate, and when those who resist are defeated, they will have money, but the Australians probably won't agree.

War changes rapidly, and perhaps a small move may have a big impact, and eventually lead to a change in the outcome, so if you are not completely sure, generally speaking, others will not easily believe you.

Relations between Australia and Spain have not reached that height, and it is a bit difficult to get them to give weapons to Spain, and in any case it will have to be negotiated between the two sides.

"Mr. Nelson, you should know that our weapons are very popular, but there are export restrictions every year, and it is not so much that you can export, so if you want weapons, you have to speed up, after all, the Dutch and the French are waiting."

Consul General, thank you for the reminder, but can't we really cooperate in another way, such as supporting Spain in defeating their alliance, and when the war is over we will pay this amount, which will be more than we are now.

When Nelson said this, it means that they did not pay so much, which also shows that the information that the Australian side has learned will not be wrong, of course, this is recorded in history, and Australia will definitely not be mistaken.

When they are defeated, this time is a bit long, which means that Australia is invisibly supporting Spain, which is not a good thing for Australia, which has always played an intermediate role.

Once on the same starting line as Spain, it is equivalent to completely blocking its cooperation with the Netherlands.

In comparison, in fact, Australia prefers to cooperate with the Dutch, after all, the other party is in a strong period, and the benefits of cooperation will be more, but Spain also wants to stay, after all, both sides have a good cooperation environment.

It's not easy to play an intermediate role, and it takes a certain amount of wisdom to be able to navigate between them perfectly.

"Mr. Nelson, if you can't pay in cash, you can pay for it with supplies, such as merino sheep."

The topic finally led to the merino sheep, which was the result that Deng Yuanjie wanted in the end.

He asked for merino sheep, and this plan had been communicated to the locals, who supported his request, after all, wool goods; The profits were also very high, otherwise how could the Spaniards strictly control the export of merino sheep, which is why they did this.

As things stand, it's possible for them to trade this for this, as they might choose to pay for it instead of paying cash directly.

The equivalent exchange is the most likely, this is the result that Deng Yuanjie expected before, but he doesn't know if there is such a possibility.

After all, it is a national treasure, and I am afraid that some of it will not be given to you so easily, and some conditions will inevitably be put forward.

Australia did not put forward some harsh conditions in this regard, but in the end the Dutch agreed, which shows that they need Australian goods too much.

Whether they will agree this time, there is still a great chance, after all, Spain does not want to lose to the Dutch, these are just hillbillies in their eyes, and they actually dare to challenge the authority of Spain, so they must be severely punished, this is their idea.

Nelson also fell into thinking, after all, what the other party proposed was a Spanish national treasure, and whether this thing could be exported or not was actually not something he could agree to.

At the very least, His Majesty must be consulted, and without his consent he will be beheaded.

"I heard that the meat of merino sheep is very good, and the carpet woven from wool is also very good, and we happen to have a large grassland in Australia, so we just need this species, if you can agree, we can exchange weapons, of course, it is an equivalent exchange, what do you think?"

"Equivalent exchange, this proposal is good, but I can't decide, I need to ask His Majesty the King, Mr. Consul General, can you give me some time, if you can, I will leave for China today."

"Time, of course, you can, but you may have to be fast, after all, the matter of arms exports is not something I can call the shots alone, you know that the Far East and the Dutch have a good relationship with some officials in their own country, and they will also try their best to promote cooperation between Australia and them, so you don't have much time."

Deng Yuanjie said this, which is equivalent to invisibly giving the other party a wake-up call, if you are not happy, the thing may be snatched away by others.

Australia wanted merino sheep, which he didn't expect before he came, because the Australians didn't show any signs of wanting it before, and now it seems that they are very well hidden.

Although they know that they want it, it doesn't mean that they can grasp the initiative, the Australians can also find other alternatives, this time it can be said that the other party absolutely has the initiative, Spain wants to get the weapon as soon as possible, the initiative is really not too big.

Therefore, it is necessary to return home at once to ask His Majesty whether he agrees with the proposal of the Australians, and if so, then they can sign a treaty at once, and at least buy the weapons before the Dutch.

"Don't worry, I'll give you half a month, if half a month passes, then I can't do anything."

"Thank you so much for your help to Spain."
