"Your Excellency, your wisdom really makes me admire, you Chinese people can think like philosophers, unlike these fools under my rule, one by one, who know nothing but food, no wonder you can produce the best goods in the world...... However, with regard to the tariffs on goods from both countries, I think we should add a clause that for the sake of fairness the goods that can be produced in France, the tax rate on the products of your country should be increased by another five percent...... Don't be in a hurry to refuse me, I have another suggestion, if the merchants of your country are not willing to pay such a tax, they can move the factories to our France, and France is willing to provide them with land and resources. ”

Fine beads of sweat oozed from Mazaran's bare forehead, and with his words, his two-handed, figure-of-eight mustache curled up, looking a little funny. However, Ma Shiying didn't dare to treat this as a clown, he was the prime minister of France, and more importantly, Ma Shiying already knew this guy very well after dealing with him in the past few years.

Cunning as a fox, with a honey-bellied sword.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister is right, our Chinese factory owners are very interested in opening factories in your country, but most of them do not know French, so it will take some time. I have come to negotiate the tax issue between the two countries only secondarily, and there is one more thing I need to inform you about, that the evil country on the other side of the strait connived at the mob to attack the envoys and scholars sent by the Huaxia, and also used the navy to fire at the innocent passage of the Chinese merchant ships, causing huge casualties and property losses to our country. In view of the fact that Charles, the puppet king of this country, cannot control the situation, Huaxia will form an expeditionary force to conquer the country, and may need France to provide us with some supplies and borrow ports to rest our fleet. ”

Ma Zaran had long known about the British attack on Huaxia scholars, but he didn't expect that Huaxia would not give up after sinking several English warships, and even sent an expeditionary force!

"I'm afraid it's not easy, your country is here, it's thousands of miles away." Mazaran was a politician in Europa at this time, so naturally he was not so easily bluffed, he squinted and said.

"It's really not easy, but with a population of 200 million in China, it's not a big problem to transfer 100,000 troops to Europa. Moreover, we also have allies in Europa, and we have made an agreement with the Spaniards to give all the English colonies in the Americas to Spain, an agreement with the Dutch to give the Dutch a Europa franchise for some Chinese goods, and an agreement with the Swedes to give them weapons support to help them win the war against the Rakshasas. ”

These countries are all powerful countries in Europa at present, and their attitude towards Britain is indeed more hostile. Mazaran heard that the Spaniards were also involved, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

If the Spaniards are allowed to rise again, it will not be good news for France, which aims to dominate Europa.

"Spaniards may not be reliable, Your Excellency."

"Yes, so I'm going to go to the Holy Roman States next, to find new allies here, and if necessary, to join hands with the Habsburgs, it's not an impossible thing for us to choose from."

Mazaran shook his head, the envoy of the Huaxia Kingdom was intimidating him, France was not intimidated, and from the perspective of France, it was really not a good thing for the Huaxia people to be too deeply involved in Europa affairs, and it would be a huge threat to the hegemony of France.

Therefore, he made a decision in his heart as soon as possible: to pull the hind legs of the Chinese people.

However, he also had to determine the ultimate goal of the Huaxia people, so Mazaran said with a smile: "Your Excellency, we are happy to work for the Huaxia Kingdom, and besides, I have a plan, Cromwell's son Richard is in my country, perhaps, we can let him return to the country and pacify those damned mobs?" ”

"No, the instructions given to us by His Majesty the Emperor of China are that there is no need for an English kingdom to exist, and we are ready to move more than 10 million people to England within twenty years, so that it will be easier for us in the Huaxia Kingdom to help the countries of Europa. Your Excellency Mazarin, the problem you just mentioned has been solved, and even if an additional five percent tariff is levied on the transport of Chinese goods from England to France, a competitive price can be maintained. ”

Ma Shiying's answer made Ma Zaran creepy, Ma Zaran was a mercantilist, and he could imagine how low the prices of Chinese goods would have been if it had not been for the great voyage across the ocean, and France would have been able to produce nothing but grow some potatoes honestly, and would have to beg.

What's more, 10 million Chinese people moved to England!

Not to mention 10 million, even if a million Chinese moved to England, it would be enough to drive all the Anglo-Saxons into the Atlantic and establish a country with black hair and yellow skin.

This must not be allowed to happen, this is the Yellow Peril, the Yellow Peril that will sweep all of Europa, and God's people will have no more ground to stand on!

"Your Excellency, I don't think you have understood what your Majesty meant, frankly, no one in the Europa countries wants to see this, you are pushing all your friends into the camp of the enemy."

"Oh?" Ma Shiying secretly laughed in her heart.

Of course, it is impossible for Huaxia to really immigrate 10 million to England, in Yu Guozhen's next plan, the key direction of Chinese immigration is Toadzhou, and the secondary direction is the west coast of the Americas - at present, with the help of the people sent by Huaxia, the Yindians on the west coast of the Americas have established six countries of their own, and fully accept the staff guidance sent by Huaxia, although these countries are still very small, only with one or several Yindian tribes as the core, but with the help of the Huaxia people, It has been able to hold back the continued westward advance of the white colonists.

Therefore, the so-called tens of millions of immigrants were made by Ma Shiying to bluff and scare Ma Zaran, Ma Shiying knew in his heart, and Ma Zaran also understood, but behind Ma Shiying's bragging, Huaxia had such strength, and Ma Zaran had to be cautious even if he knew that this was bragging.

It is always strength that determines a country's foreign policy.

"Europa is extremely poor compared to your country, your country has a vast territory and abundant resources, and a large population, why do you want to come to Europa to occupy a country? And England is also our great country in Europa, and I have heard a missionary teach you an idiom that no Europa country will sit idly by and watch England be destroyed and remain silent. ”

"What do you mean is that France is ready to stand with the robbers who killed the Chinese people and robbed the Chinese property?" Ma Shiying's eyebrows furrowed: "Justice cannot be remedied, the murderer cannot be punished, and the victim cannot be compensated, this is France's position, right?" ”

This accusation made Mazaran very passive, he did not want to see China occupy LinkedIn, but he did not want France to replace Britain to bear the anger of China, even if China only blocked France's main ports with warships, or cut off trade with France, the impact was not something he was willing to accept.

"No, no, France is a friend of both sides, and we are willing to intercede and reconcile your country with England."

"Prime Minister Mazaran, I also want to be a prime minister like you, but I'm old and don't have much time, so I need a credit, thousands of miles away, to destroy a big country, do you think there is a more appropriate credit than this?" Ma Shiying smiled: "Reconciliation? Reconciliation means that I will never have a chance to become prime minister. ”

Ma Zaran was really shocked this time, he had dealt with Ma Shiying many times, and knew that this was an ambitious and energetic guy, although he was nearly seventy years old, his energy was not inferior to those in his forties and fifties. Moreover, his reasons are also very good, for the sake of the prime minister of Huaxia, to start a war, in Ma Zaran's opinion, it is worth it.

It is necessary to prevent the British from being occupied...... Mazaran was determined, but there were many ways to prevent the British from being occupied, and Mazaran thought of a suggestion that Cromwell's son Richard had made earlier.

"There is no contradiction in this, my lord, that the King of England must abdicate, and that England should be divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales, and England, of which England shall be Lord Richard, and Scotland shall seek the descendants of its old royal family as kings, and as for Wales, France shall be more than willing to undertake the task of keeping watch over England for the Kingdom of China."

In the blink of an eye, Mazarin made a decision that he must appease China, even at the expense of some of the interests of the French ally, the British. He was one of Europa's leading politicians at this time, so in a very short time, he thought of a solution to the problem: to satisfy both China's desire for revenge and Ma Shiying's own meritorious service, and of course, the most important thing was that France gained the greatest benefit in this matter.

Wales, if France can get this territory, the entire channel is under the control of France, and the next development of France will be unstoppable.

As to whether the Welsh would like to be ruled by the French, or whether the King of France had the right to rule Wales, given the complex and chaotic academic system of the royal families of Europa, Mazarin thought there was no problem at all.

Or simply let the puppet protector Richard give Wales as a thank you ...... "No way." Ma Shiying sneered and said in Chinese: "Pick the chestnuts in the fire for you? ”

"So, what else do you need?"

"Wales could not be completely handed over to France, because we promised the Portuguese that they would exchange part of Wales for Ceuta, and the Spaniards also needed part of Wales as a transit point for them on their way to the Americas."

"Then there's no need to talk about it......"

"If Your Excellency the Prime Minister is really sincere, we in China can come forward and convene a meeting of Europa stakeholders to negotiate the division of Wales. The meeting was held on our Huaqing, and I think Your Excellency the Prime Minister must be very interested in this warship. ”

Ma Shiying's last words made Ma Zharan's breathing stop suddenly.

Mazaran had heard rumors about the all-steel battleship for a long time, and his spies had even approached the battleship up close, but no one had been able to board it.

At this time, the Huaxia invited him to board the Huaqing, in addition to facilitating negotiations, there was also a purpose to demonstrate.

"As you wish, Your Excellency." Mazaran was already thinking about how to summon the best craftsmen and scholars in the country to come on board the ship under the guise of his retinue, and said so.

After Ma Shiying listened, he smiled and nodded, he knew that his task had been achieved.

These countries that were pulled aboard the Huaqing would become the main force besieging England, and Huaxia would only need to be responsible for clearing the British fleet at sea - which would only require the use of the West Sea Fleet.
