Looking at the representatives of these big capitalists present, it can be said that they include the most imperialist and colonialist ideological group in China, and asked with a smile: "Is this the collective view of your group?" Everything I've talked about with the Netherlands is public, and I don't think there's anything to make you angry, right? ”

One said: "We believe this, but we hope that Mr. Chen can think more about realistic things." We are a republic, and of course we are right that we think that a republic is tradition. I don't know if Mr. Chen's contact with the Netherlands is purely for profit, or because the Netherlands is a republic, you have to take a look at the Netherlands for the sake of this correctness and tradition? ”

Jian Chen shook his head and said, "You have always known about the propaganda of our party, and we don't think that kind of republic is correct. ”

"That's for the best. I will say something bluntly, since Mr. Chen does not have a love for the other party because he is a so-called republic, then we will only talk about interests. ”

Jian Chen nodded and said, "Of course you can, aren't you also getting together for the sake of profit?" When we talk to you about our philosophy, we also play the piano to the cow. But at least one thing, we all believe in profit analysis, but we use something to fight for, and you use it for profit. ”

This kind of-for-tat words was not ridiculed, and the other party accepted it calmly, and one person thought for a while, and said in very straightforward words: "Our internal opinions have been decided. Neither Nanyang nor our Indian company wanted Mr. Chan to remain close to the Netherlands. It can be said that the Netherlands is in the way of the interests of our two companies, which are not only our company, but also the landlords and factory owners behind them. ”

"If Europe is going to be in turmoil, we see this as an opportunity to build a new order. Even if we don't want to admit it now, or emotionally, emotionally, or in glory, we have to say that the world trade order is dominated by Europeans at this time, so we have to break with the old and create the new. ”

"They have been sailing around the world for more than a hundred years, and they have established strongholds in Asia, Africa, South Fuso, and other places, dominating trade, but they are full of contradictions."

"So, if there is to be a war in Europe, it will be our chance to dominate the world trade order. We don't want anyone to influence or hinder this, and we don't allow it for the sake of our ancestors. ”

The corners of Jian Chen's mouth twitched, but he still nodded.

The order of world trade is not the same as the world order, but the world trade order is like maggots, and the world order is a fly, and the relationship between the two is too close and the same line.

When the world is transformed from an isolated island to a truly spherical world because of trade, it is qualified to discuss the order of the world.

For the Mexican Party, they want a world order, not an order of world trade. But for Chen Jian, he understands that if he wants a world order, he must have a new world trade order.

The other party saw Chen Jian nodding, and then said: "Nanyang Company is very dissatisfied with the Dutch's sea control and trade monopoly in Europe, they make too much money as second-hand dealers, and Nanyang Company is very dissatisfied. Four years ago, Nanyang Company needed a second-tier dealer to penetrate into Europe, but after the European turmoil more than a decade later, Nanyang no longer needed such a second-tier dealer. ”

"We Indian companies want land rent, but we also want the spice trade, so we don't like the Portuguese or the Dutch. We don't need a Dutch. ”

"I hope Mr. Chen will recognize the reality that before you cooperated with the Dutch, it was because you were not strong enough."

"Indeed, your Mexican Party, together with Mr. Chen's factories and reputation, is nicknamed the thirty-seventh county by the Chinese people. But, Mr. Chen, you have to make it clear that your thirty-seventh county needs to cooperate with the Dutch because you are not strong enough, but...... The republic is still there, and even if, as you said, the republic's hierarchy is divided, but the power of the rest of the republic's counties does not exist. ”

"The thirty-seventh county needs to win over the Dutch to gain a foothold, but the thirty-seventh county does not need to make peace with the Dutch."

"In the event of chaos in Europe, Nanyang Company hopes that the decline of Spain will give Nanyang more trading rights, and likewise hopes that the Dutch sea power advantage will be over, so that Nanyang Company can bypass them for direct trade in Europe."

"In the same way, we need a declining Spanish Portuguese country that has no strength to reach out to Asian India and spice producing countries, but we don't want to see a Dutch country that replaces the Spanish Portuguese Republic in Asia."

"You are the thirty-seventh county, not a country with the same power as the thirty-seventh county, and you dare not say that there are thirty-six counties behind your back, but the power of six or seven counties is still there. Money, no problem; People, no problem; So we hope that when Mr. Chen deals with the Netherlands, Sweden or other European countries, he will be able to pave the way and set the tone for the future. ”

Jian Chen asked, "What tone?" Or what kind of Europe do you really want? ”

The other side was silent for a while, and said slowly: "We need a strong France, not a strong Netherlands." I hope that Mr. Chen can put his efforts into this regard. ”

Jumping from Manila to Malacca to Spain, then from Spain to the Netherlands, and finally to France, which had not been mentioned at all, those people on the other side were not surprised, and said indifferently: "We may not understand the situation in Europe as well as Mr. Chen, but as Mr. Chen said, there are always similarities in the era of many states." As Mr. Chen wrote about the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China, the first few decades of Japan, and the situation before the War of Unification...... It's all pretty much the same. ”

"Our grandparents participated in the war of reunification, and the people of that generation have not yet died, their minds have not yet been hidden, and our minds are very clear."

"Just like the powerful Weihou State a hundred years ago, when Ji Xia was divided, it was destined that Weihou needed a strong army if he wanted to remain strong. Just like the current puppet Qi state, they need a strong navy if they want to establish a country. ”

"We need Spain to decline, and we don't want the Netherlands' navy to continue to crisscross Europe, so we need a strong France. strong enough to threaten Spain and force Spain to continue to maintain its army; Strong enough to threaten the Netherlands, strong enough to threaten the northern states, which in turn forced France to concentrate on the army and not to build a navy that could threaten us. ”

"The land and the people of Europe mean nothing to us. What we need is sea power, trade power, and overseas. Regardless of the differences between us and your party, there is one thing, the Great Wilderness City is not far from Europe, and your party does not want your paradise to be threatened by Europe. ”

"Let France be the dog on a leash, to bite Spain and the Netherlands. Then everything is not a problem, whether it is an Indian company or a Nanyang company, those problems that are considered are not problems, this is the root cause. ”

"Manila, India, the African slave trade, the Spanish colonial smuggling trade, the direct European trade, and your party's plan for the Great Desert City, all these can be solved."

"If the root cause is cured, the standard will naturally be cured. And if you only dwell on a single problem, it is a palliative rather than a cure. Of course, it would be best if Mr. Chen's operations could make Sweden strong and thus create a northern religious German alliance against France. Further, we don't want to see a strong France on its own, which could close tariffs, but that would be a bonus. ”

If France is really the only one that is dominant, as these people say, and the development of the internal market is closed, that is the only correct choice, otherwise there is no tariff protection that is so strong that it is no different from closing the country, and there is a dead end.

These people have said so much, and some of the questions become interesting.

Britain is now a worthless country in the eyes of these people.

The representative of the new sea power was the Netherlands at this time, the king of the old European colonial system was Spain, and it was France that needed to be supported as a mad dog to bite people everywhere, and the position of Britain at this time had almost no sense of existence.

These people are too ambitious, but not so ambitious as to so-called monopolize the world, because that would be unprofitable. Their ambition is only to become the dominant power in world trade, in other words, to put it more bluntly, the dominant player in the world colonial order.

This is not difficult, what seems like a scary dream, but in fact there are not many enemies to face.

a Dutch-Indian company with more than 2,000 men and 20 armed merchant ships in Asia; A Spanish colonial viceroyalty that could not even be wiped out by pirates on its own, and needed to sign the "Anti-Piracy Convention" with the Republic to drink wine; Portugal, which had been battered by the Dutch for decades and was in decline in Asia, was dissatisfied with the Spanish co-rulers; As well as a France that gave loans and weapons support when necessary.

The first three needed to go into battle shirtless, and even the strongest Dutch were only about twenty men plus twenty armed merchant ships at this time. The so-called thirty-seventh county needs to be dealt with, but the capital and power groups with common interests in the country do not need to deal with it, as long as the Mexican Party does not stretch out its hand from behind, and has the advantage of the trade winds and ocean currents and the ends of the earth to intercept them, the Dutch in Asia is really not enough to see the little power in Asia.

The latter one needs to give full play to the spirit of stirring up between the wars of reunification in those years, dig a big hole that makes it impossible for Europe to be stable, and use the chaos in Europe as mentioned by Chen Jian to thoroughly establish a new order of mutual checks and balances in Europe.

Like the French issue, it may seem unrelated to Manila, Luzon, and the Spice Islands of Malacca, but it can be used to fundamentally pry these places.

Hearing the demands of these people, Chen Jian understood that he could stay away from these people in the future, and they had begun to learn how to be a qualified imperialist and colonialist, and this stage of teaching was completed.

Just as the clique of these people excluded Jian Chen for the first time, Jian Chen also needs to completely draw a line with these people from now on and break off his relationship.

When all this really happens, all you have to do is fight against these people, and these allies for twenty years will eventually become your worst enemies.
