Chapter 245: Resumption of Negotiations
In the conference hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Dongfang Port, a long table is placed in the center of the hall, and several flower pots are placed on the table, which are full of colorful flowers, and two small flags are planted in the center of the table, tilting towards both sides of the long table. Please search () to see the most complete! On the fastest side is the country's North Star flag, and on the other side is a yellow flag that looks a little different, with a white cross in the center, and a large white circle at the intersection of the cross, the face of the circle is depicted with a lion with teeth and claws, the lion stands upright, holding an axe on the left side, and a scepter on the right.
She hadn't actually seen the flag of the Medenor people, but she had recently seen a similar pattern on a ship docked at the dock while looking for chemical raw materials for making pigments in the port area. This type of pattern is basically qualified as a family crest in the old world is basically the royal family in the Western world, and she has always been interested in this type of pattern, so she drew several pieces in her hand for a while, and took them to the canteen to eat and planned to bring them back to the dormitory after eating, but when she was brought back to the dormitory after eating, she was coincidentally touched by Gu Qingqian, so she was warmly invited by Gu Qingqian to draw a few flags as the negotiating table flag of the Medeno delegation.
Painting this kind of painting was originally motivated by interest, at that time she had already painted several paintings, originally did not have much interest, at that time rejected Gu Qingqian, but Gu Qingqian was not discouraged, chased after it to talk about it, and finally made her agree to draw a few flags under the condition of assigning her three eggs a week. At this moment, the flag is hanging down freely, covering the pattern of the face, and it looks very meaningful against the backdrop of many flowers and plants.
The members of the Medeno negotiating team walked to their respective seats, pulled out their chairs and sat down, and began to speak in a low voice, but Jacqueline did not sit down, just frowned and looked at the group of attendants on her side, because the group of countrymen in front of her had no intention of sitting down, they all just stood there straight, even the female minister of commerce and trade who did not look tall was also standing there, and each of the elders and the naturalized workers next to them put their right hands into fists on their left chests and chests, and their mouths seemed to be singing something in a low voice to the tune. After a short while, when the music was over, the group of patriarchs sat down.
"Your Royal Highness, please take a seat." Gu Qingqian politely invited Jacqueline to sit down, Jacqueline smiled and nodded, the naturalized staff next to her hurriedly came to pull the chair away, she owed a debt and sat down, Gu Qingqian smiled and nodded to everyone present, and said in a familiar language of the other party, "Hello everyone, thank you for being here today and making efforts for the international relations between the country and the country of Medno." ”
Jacqueline's face became very unsightly, as the princess of Medenor, and favored by her father, she often had access to many confidential items, and during the period of negotiation preparation in the port of Orient, someone sent in the recent information through Miro's information through the clipper. It is precisely because of the fact that the country has entered a very embarrassing state of semi-war, so that the merchants of Meideno do not dare to enter the territorial waters of the countrymen for fear of being implicated because of their race, and most of the goods loaded by the ship are various industrial raw materials, although they will not deteriorate and damage in the sea, but there is no place to ask for it except the port of the East, and it is a waste of money to unload it or throw it into the sea, and no one is reluctant, so they can only hover behind the blockade fleet of the Maidno blockade fleet, wanting to see if the situation will improve, and the horses will enter the port of the east to unload.
As for the fleet that was transferred to Shan Harbor, they were entrenched outside Shan Harbor when they instigated the Annam rebels to overthrow Nguyen Phuc Yuan, and they were unloading personnel and materials towards Shan Harbor, but due to the poor port facilities of Shan Harbor and the bottleneck of unloading speed, until now a year later, even half of it has not been completed, let alone the transportation fleet from Europa and other sea cities is still gathering and mobilizing, and it will only be possible to waste more time at that time.
A sharp-class capital ship has nearly 800 or so sailors, and it has to eat at least 360 to 400 tons of grain according to the standard of ordinary rations in a month, and now there are nearly 100 warships of all sizes entrenched outside Shangang, and the food eaten in more than a year is a grid of days, and this money is taken out of the pocket of the Medenor royal family, even if the Medeno royal family has grabbed a huge amount of wealth through sea trade for hundreds of years, But now this way of eating is also painful for the royal family of Meednor, in fact, even the king himself feels pain for this large amount of wealth, and every day he changes his way to find merchants to collect taxes, in order to fill the financial hole of the war against Annam, so the merchants who were originally complaining because they could not trade with the countrymen are now even more angry, and they can't help but rebel.
But with the arrival of one news after another, Jacqueline saw a lot of unbelievable products in the country, such as Russell wanted to ask the people for the secret of the design of the rifle, even if the Yaning people got the 1628 rifle and 1629 rifle equipped by the ** team, as well as the rifled Senate rifle, and even understood the principle of the Mini warhead through Leibniz's analysis, but imitation is still not an easy thing. Not to mention much, just the rifle barrel used by the Chinese people has no seams, which is already a problem that Yaning people feel cannot solve. It is important to know that rifled weapons will expand due to the warhead, so the barrel to bear the pressure is much greater than that of smoothbore weapons, if the barrel has a gap, when fired continuously, the barrel will expand and cause air leakage, and the heavy will explode the chamber and cause accidents and casualties; In addition to the secret of the rifle, Russell also hopes to get a batch of food bricks for the first team and bicycles for transportation. However, Jacqueline of course knows that it is unlikely that the grain bricks of the Chinese people will be provided to the Maidnor people, and the relationship between the Maidno people and the country has not yet changed, so how can they provide food? As for the bicycle, she didn't know what the vehicle Russell was describing, she could only take it for granted that it was a "Rolls-Royce", and she was a little secretly happy about this - this kind of vehicle can be seen everywhere in the entire Oriental Port, and it should not be too difficult to get some into her hands, at least Miro has been poured into a group of manpower pilot ships from the hands of the Chinese.
The ship is far away, and the cool grandson hates by making trouble
Gu Qingqian's words didn't cause much reaction from Jacqueline, her mind was full of Xiao Jing at the moment, and even she couldn't understand why this happened. Sick? What disease? Is it seriously ill? Will it have any effect on his body? It's not that the people of Mednoor don't have doctors on this plane, but they are barbaric when it comes to treatment, and they prefer phlebotomy - yes, it's bloodletting, a cut in a vein and a part of the blood is released. This treatment is generally carried out when the patient is in a state of fever, and because the blood will take away the heat, phlebotomy has become the main treatment method for fever symptoms. In addition, they also believe in the Chinese people's saying that the wind evil enters the body, and the way to dispel the evil is to feed laxatives, so that the patient can pull out the "wind evil" directly, and it will definitely be good if the wind evil disease is pulled out.
