Chapter 238: Leaving for England Again

"Mr. Count Lin Qing, I take the liberty of asking you, how sure are you that the Palawan Free Democratic Republic will definitely sign a contract with our Dutch government to build a military port? You know, if the Palawan government doesn't sign the jump, you're going to lose more than a billion dollars. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Wilson looked at Lin Qing curiously, obviously wanting to inquire about some of these things, and the Dutch government was very curious about how Lin Qing hooked up with the Palawan government.

Lin Qing shrugged his shoulders: "I can only say that this is a kind of fate, I was lucky enough to meet some leaders of the Palawan Free Army, and sold them a batch of equipment, rifles they used in the war." There are also PRG and other things that are our Dutch items. Lin Qing glanced at Johnson and casually made up a reason, anyway, there are few people in the world who know who the top leaders of the Palawan Free Army are.

Wilson nodded, he did know that the Palawan Free Army used Dutch munitions, because he also watched the live broadcast and noticed that some of the weapons used by these soldiers were Dutch weapons, but he didn't expect these weapons to be sold by Lin Qing.

"You're really lucky, lucky to make me feel jealous!" Wilson toasted a glass of wine, the two looked at each other and smiled, Lin Qing gently hugged Carlos's waist: "What kind of luck do you mean?" Apparently I was lucky to have met Carlos! ”

After Carlos heard Lin Qing say this, he kissed Lin Qing on the face: "Me too, and it is also my greatest luck to meet me, I think God must have mercy on me." ”

Wilson shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "It's not just jealousy now, all I can say now is, Mr. Earl, you are really a winner in life." ”

"Thank you, you too!"

The atmosphere of the dinner was very harmonious, the two had met several times before, and this time after the business was discussed, both of them got what they wanted, and the dinner was carried out in an atmosphere of mutual compliments.

Three days after the contract was signed, the team of the government of the Free Democratic Republic of Palawan made a low-key presence in the Netherlands.

Now there are no large passenger planes at Palawan International Airport, only a few small passenger planes for some short-distance transportation, and because of the obstruction of the Philippines, Palawan Island is now a little inconvenient to travel, but Boeing has been contacted to buy a few large passenger planes, but it takes some time to buy large passenger planes, so these Palawan government personnel can only be diverted to Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, and take off from Kuala Lumpur to Paris, and then transfer to Amsterdam, which has been delayed for a long time. Otherwise, you might have ended up in the Netherlands the day after the contract was signed.

Lin Qing received a group of people, all of whom were acquaintances, some of his old subordinates, and three of the more than thirty bodyguards, but now they have all been arranged in some important parts, of course, the assistants are all professional-level, and they have been discussed before coming, just going through the motions.

Lin Qing did not follow the negotiation, although the two countries are not of the same magnitude, but it can be regarded as a meeting at the level of a sovereign country and region, and he still can't participate in it without revealing his identity.

In the end, Palawan borrowed 12 billion euros, a one-time payment from the Netherlands, with a ten-year term, and a low-interest loan, which was earmarked for the construction of a military dock and the purchase of Dutch arms.

Regardless of the 12 billion euros, the important thing for the Netherlands is not the question of money, but the various employment opportunities provided by the construction of a naval port to the Netherlands. ,

Since the Netherlands is responsible for the construction of the naval port, then the Netherlands will definitely choose its own country's things, so it will provide orders for the domestic steel industry, manufacturing and other industries, which can form a good cycle for the country.

After the two sides formally signed the contract, the first batch of arms could be delivered, and Lin Qinglai was responsible for this, but Lin Qing's people at this time were no longer in the Netherlands, but appeared in the United Kingdom.

Spent a lot of money, of course, this money is Palawan's financial expenditure, if you count personal property, he still made a little money in this business, after all, he sold it to Palawan, the cruiser Admiral Grau sold for 600 million dollars, two Cotton Eyre 450 million a ship, and F16 sold 11 million one, and outsiders seem to be making a lot of money.

For himself, he can only change his left hand for his right hand, and he has regarded Barawang as his private property, which is sacred and inviolable.

As for why they went to the UK, some time ago, the British did not know what was going crazy, and openly expressed their support for the Philippine government in the media, resolutely refusing to recognize Palawan as a legitimate government.

This made Lin Qing stunned for a long time, after all, the Palawan Free Democratic Republic and the United Kingdom did not have too many direct conflicts, the Philippines is the younger brother of the Americans, not the younger brother of the United Kingdom, the British government suddenly came out to support the Philippines made him feel surprised, is it because he did not pay attention to the international situation during this time, Palawan and England clashed?

However, after Lin Qing carefully checked the recent events in Britain on the Internet, he finally knew why the British were going crazy.

August 3, 2007, fine.

It was a good day for most countries, but for British politicians, today was the darkest day.

Scotland, which has been stable for decades, is making trouble again, preparing for a referendum to become independent from the United Kingdom and establish an independent sovereign state, of course, this is only the first referendum, for a strange country like the United Kingdom, this kind of referendum is very complicated, and it will take a long time to repeat it several times.

But once this referendum starts, it will be a big blow to the British government, and it should be the end of the referendum, if there is a slight gap in the support rate, then there can be a referendum to apply for a Dominion, generally speaking, apply to become a Dominion, and then wait for the next referendum, which is already very close to independence, such as Newfoundland, such as Canada, such as Australia, which is a situation that British politicians do not want to see.

The country of Britain, the whole world knows that he is a 10,000-year-old-stirring stick, and belongs to the most troublesome country in the world.

The full name of the United Kingdom is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which is a Western European island country composed of England, Wales and Scotland on the island of Great Britain, Northern Ireland in the northeast of the island of Ireland and a series of affiliated islands.

Scotland used to be an independent country, but it was later defeated by the British with their fists, and the British formed a country.

Although Scotland is under the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom in matters such as foreign affairs, military, finance, and macroeconomic policy, it has a large degree of autonomy in internal legislation and administration, and can even send teams to participate in the World Cup and the European Cup.

The defeat of the Scottish National Party (SNP) in the Scottish general election in July, which advocated maintaining unity, sparked the desire for some Scots to become independent again.

And this time the Scottish people are very firm in their desire for independence, because they are not alone this time, and with the experience of the Palawan Free Democratic Republic, they can follow the Palawan steps and let Scotland achieve independence.

Britain is not a country that prohibits guns, so there are a lot of civilian guns and ammunition, so people from some national parties began to meet in secret.

On July 15, the National Party held a meeting and decided to take the first step in a referendum on independence from England.

The Scots just did what they said, and not long after the election, many facilities were well maintained and could be used directly, but it was very simple to exchange the ballot for whether to support the independence of the ballot.

The British would certainly not have been able to agree to this, so the British government immediately protested and immediately sent people out to suppress this behavior.

However, the British miscalculated and miscalculated the discipline of their own national media, originally Scotland was going to hold an independence referendum, and England unanimously supported the government every day, loudly and angrily scolded Scotland as a white-eyed wolf, an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, a negative man, etc., since the eighteenth century, the British spared no effort to help the Scots, all in exchange for independence again and again.

In the news, the UK's support policy for Scotland for so many years is clearly written, how much money was given that year, how much taxes were exempted that year, and even private donations are clearly recorded, which makes people feel that Scotland is really not a thing at first glance, and it has been raised for so many years.

Originally, the domestic situation was very good, and the people did not support Scottish independence, and the British ruling party did not hesitate to send troops after seeing it, preparing to strangle this referendum in the cradle.

It's just that when they just sent out the army, the pressure of public opinion in the country immediately changed, yesterday they were still ridiculing the Scottish white-eyed wolf, the negative man, today it immediately became the government to suppress (suppress) democratic elections, and so on.

Among them, the Sun and The Times are the most shameless, these two newspapers are one of the two most fierce newspapers that scolded Scotland yesterday, one is the largest three-page girl newspaper in the United Kingdom, and the other is the tongue of the British, but this time both newspapers are all back.

The Regression of Democracy! This is the headline of The Times today, which hits the nail on the head of the British to send troops to suppress democratic elections, arguing that this is a democratic regression, that the Scottish people have the right to choose whether they are independent of England or not, and that the Scottish problem should be decided by the Scots, rather than by using violence to make the people compromise.

With the news came out, there was a small demonstration in London to protest against the government's efforts to suppress the Scottish democratic elections, but most of them were Scots living in London, and the scale was not very large.
