"Ambassador Lin, I am here today on behalf of the British Empire with full sincerity. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoSo now, let's all show our bottom line, right? As he spoke, he put forward two basic demands: the preservation of the Indian colony and the purchase of pills.

Specifically, on the island, a lot of them have been abandoned. Ceylon, however, explicitly demanded its restitution. The Maldives archipelago, on the other hand, is classified as a neutral zone, and neither side can garrison troops.

In the end, Ceylon is close to the Indian subcontinent, which is not only strategically prominent, but also rich in precious stones. It was really unwilling to give it to Daming.

Coupled with the British, who have always wanted to take South India into their pockets. Therefore, the island of Ceylon must not be lost. Otherwise, according to the habit of the Ming Dynasty, it would definitely increase support for the South Indian states.

The arrogance that was finally convinced before will rise again.

This was extremely detrimental to British rule in India.

The neutrality of the Maldives archipelago is also based on strategic considerations. After all, the Maldives archipelago is located on the main transportation route of the Central Indian Ocean. To the east it is connected to the South Seas, and to the west it is connected to the African continent and the European continent.

It's a very busy ocean route. Although at present, because of Mingying's war, he is lonely a lot. But it is foreseeable that as soon as the fighting stops, this route will return to its former busyness.

Therefore, once the Ming Dynasty garrisoned troops here, not only the British merchant ships would be threatened, but also the merchant ships of other countries would also be subject to certain restrictions.

For example, taxation, inventory, and trade blockade can easily occur.

Originally, Fernando also wanted to find other European countries to help put pressure on Daming. However, due to the rampant flu, other countries are worried about domestic political affairs.

And in terms of medicine, there is also a request for Daming. So they all stood by and didn't want to get involved.

This made Fernando unable to find allies, and therefore could not put pressure on Daming. So when he made this request, his confidence was obviously insufficient.

It was also Fernando who understood that it was a fantasy to want Daming to spit out the meat that he ate in his mouth. Therefore, we had to save the country and propose neutrality.

Anyway, since he wants to go back to the Maldives Islands, then Daming should not swallow it alone. In this way, it is also in the interests of all parties.

In addition, Fernando also made it clear that the Ming could no longer support the states of South India in any situation. and restrain local powers such as Assam, Manipur, and Arakan from invading the British Indian colonies.

Although when Daming did these things, he was very secretive. But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and what has been done will always be exposed one day.

Coupled with these local forces, there is no concept of secrecy at all. The delivery of materials has to turn the hands of countless people. The risk of this exposure is also greater.

In contrast, Daming also expected. So when Lin Aofeng listened, he already had a way to deal with it in his heart.

coughed a few times and responded: "Since the envoy is willing to be honest, then Lin will not hide it." ”。 is serious, and says the bottom line of the Ming Dynasty.

First, Britain had to bear the main responsibility for the defeated country and had to pay huge reparations.

Second, Britain was no longer allowed to deal with the Ming merchant ships in the oceans. Aggressive behavior. It is forbidden to interfere with the Ming Dynasty and trade exchanges with European countries.

Thirdly, the territory can be returned, but only in equal exchange. As for medicines, they are not within the scope of the peace talks.

Finally, it is specially added that the Ming Dynasty is a civilized country that loves peace, pursues equality, advocates freedom, respects people and rights.

Therefore, there is no support in any form or in any way for violent activities such as rebellion, rebellion, and war.

Its literal meaning is to be understood, that is, what is Caritas, you can't control it in the UK. Anyway, as long as the Ming thinks that it is a matter of pursuing freedom, it is freedom. To think of inequality is to be unequal.

In accordance with the principle, it is also appropriate to give a certain amount of support.

This is like the later European and American countries playing hooligans, scoundrels! No matter what they do, they can be under the guise of freedom, equality, people, and rights, and they will not be whipped by mainstream public opinion.

After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the traverser learned this skill perfectly.

Not to mention, this feeling of other people's deflated is still quite good. Like Lin Aofeng, it feels like floating in the clouds.

It's just that Fernando is clearly not satisfied with such an explanation. Because of the Indian colony, it does not mean that the Ming Dynasty promised not to use force, and everything is really fine.

It is also the current rebellion in South India, the invasion of Assam, Manipur, and Rakhan, which threatens British rule in India at all times.

Therefore, if they do not stop, the Indian colonies will not be at peace

In this, the energy that Daming can exert is obviously very large. Otherwise, those rebellious states and local forces would not have been able to fight more and more violently and excitedly, just like a chicken and blood.

Then he said in a slightly heavy tone: "Ambassador Lin, to borrow the words of your Ming sages, before the Ming people, don't say code words. How did the war in South India and Bengal come about, and the Ming should know best.

Therefore, peace talks must have a commitment from the Ming Dynasty. ”。

When Lin Aofeng heard this, he couldn't pretend to be confused anymore. After all, it's all about this, and it's not interesting to pretend to be confused. But he can't admit it either.

Because from the beginning to the end, the Ming Dynasty never thought of giving up the attempt to occupy and lead India. Therefore, if we just give up support for local powers such as South India and Assam, then the huge India will sooner or later be controlled by the British.

This is something that Da Ming is unwilling to accept no matter what.

After thinking about it for a while, he said loudly: "This matter, although it is the business of the Indian people themselves. However, as a regional power, Daming has the obligation to maintain regional peace and tranquility.

So I'm going to send a message to the country, to the president and the cabinet ministers. Out of humanitarianism, find a way to quell the war in India. ”。

It's also a high-sounding thing to say too much, so Lin Aofeng doesn't feel embarrassed at all.

And although he still did not admit the support of the Ming Dynasty for local forces such as South India and Assam, he expressed his willingness to calm down. In other words, it shows that the war will end.

This made Fernando's attitude a little softened. He said goodbye, saying that he couldn't call the shots.

In fact, Lin Aofeng didn't believe it at all. After all, Fernando's bottom line, he knows it clearly. Therefore, it is also clear that Fernando, as a special envoy, can completely call the shots in this Mingying peace talks.

But he doesn't debunk either. After all, it is a matter of national interests, and it is not so easy to decide. So it's reasonable to go back and discuss one or two and weigh the pros and cons.

It's just that the balance of time is on the side of the Ming Dynasty, so no matter how you choose, Britain can't avoid losses.

It's just that the size of the loss is different. (To be continued.) )
