In the past few years, he has studied the history of the United States and has a clear understanding of the situation in the United States, so he said without thinking: "Half a year ago, the Xia Empire and the British Empire traded four provinces of the Dominion of Canada, millions of square kilometers, and spent less than 10 million pounds in materials; In that year, your country spent $15 million to buy 2.3 million square kilometers of Mexico's territory; In 1867, your country spent $7.2 million to buy the Alaska region, which covers more than 1.7 million square kilometers; Ten years ago, your country spent only $20 million to buy Spain's Philippines, Guam, Wake Island, Puerto Rico and other places; Now that the 13 states of the United States are less than one million square kilometers, if you compare the usual transaction prices in your country, may I ask Your Excellency the Secretary of State, how much should we pay the right price? “

Robert Bacon's face was pale, and he was in a very bad mood, this was all a glorious thing that Americans talked about back then, but now it has become a handle for the Xia Empire to attack the United States, hey, the world takes turns, and the teeth of hatred for the Xia Empire in my heart are itching.

After taking a deep breath and calming down, Robert Bacon said patiently: "It's all barren land, how can it be compared to the bustling East Coast of the United States?" The United States has been developing in the East Coast region for hundreds of years, and has invested heavily in fixed assets alone, including many high-rise buildings, railways, highways, ports and wharves, all kinds of factories, flat farms, prosperous cities, towns, etc., as long as your country accepts it, it can immigrate tens of millions of dollars and start creating wealth in the shortest possible time, which is incomparable to Alaska and other places? “

Ambassador Li Jingfa smiled and said: "No matter how good a place is, it is worthless now that it is in our encirclement; Not to mention the northeast and southwest theaters of the Lu State, but the Wuhu Province and Labrador Province of the Qi State each have troops stationed in one army, which is not something that your country can resist; If the Xia Empire wants to own the 13 states of the United States, do you feel that you need to pay so much? And you also know that at present, among the countries in the world, only the Xia Empire dares to buy your country's territory, so I hope that your country will not ask for a price and give a reasonable price, otherwise, the empire will be able to occupy that land completely without spending a penny. ”

"Waiver all compensation, and pay an additional 600 million summer yuan of materials to offset the purchase price, otherwise there will be no negotiation." Robert Bacon said viciously.

Ambassador Li Jingfa ignored Robert Bacon's face and said forcefully: "The Xia Empire has a vast territory, the population of the existing land is insufficient, and a large number of immigrants from the Chinese Empire are needed. Not to mention paying the purchase price of 600 million summer yuan, it is impossible to waive the compensation, your asking price is too high to negotiate. ”

Robert Bacon was very angry, and he didn't pick it up like this if he wanted to pick it up, which was too bullying.

It is really a weak country without diplomacy, why didn't the United States treat Spain and Mexico in the first place? Why didn't the United States treat the Qing Dynasty like this? Weak countries have only the fate of being slaughtered.

Thinking about the current situation of this world being the law of the jungle, Robert Bacon felt that it was useless to be angry, strength was the fundamental, and asked rhetorically: "Then at what price does your country want to trade at the right price?" “

Ambassador Li Jingfa has completely grasped the initiative in the negotiations, and there is no need to continue to touch Robert Bacon's hole cards, so he said: "The compensation will be paid as usual, and the Xia Empire can only pay 100 million Xia Yuan for the purchase, which is much more generous than your country!" “

Robert Bacon was directly, is this sent to call Hanako? Could it be that the United States has fallen to such a state?

"600 million summer yuan, it can't be less, unless your country wants to break the net!"

"200 million summer yuan, no more, otherwise the empire will take it itself." Li Jingfa said.

"No, 600 million summer yuan, there is nothing to talk about if it is less, this is our bottom line! Your country should be satisfied, at the beginning, the United States only provided 400 million US dollars in aid to your country without compensation, but now the United States is in difficulty, and it is just a matter of your country not returning the aid. Robert Bacon said firmly, but in his heart he thought that the difficulties of the United States were all caused by your Xia Empire, and sooner or later one day it would be repaid to you.

Ambassador Li Jingfa patiently explained: "Your Excellency, you know that the Xia Empire was founded for a short time and its industrial base was weak, so it was really impossible to get so many materials in two years. “

"The Xia Empire can't be satisfied, there is still the Lu State, and the Qi State." Robert Bacon obviously didn't believe Li Jingfa's words, as long as the country of Lu was running normally, there would be an output value of several billion dollars every year, how could it not meet the materials of 600 million summer yuan?

Ambassador Li Jingfa felt that it was difficult to continue the conversation, so he said to Robert Bacon: "Your Excellency, you also know that I, as an ambassador, do not have such great authority to make decisions, and I will report to His Majesty the Emperor first; You also go back and think about the price of the transaction and put together a list of the supplies that your country needs; I'll contact you as soon as I have news, what do you think? ”

Robert Bacon knew that he couldn't decide on the spot, so he had to agree to Li Jingfa's approach.

After receiving the telegram from Ambassador Li Jingfa, Zhang Wei felt that it was a bit expensive, and the advantage was that he could completely occupy the original territory of the United States, so that Lu could become a whole, and there would be no external threat, and Lu and Qi would not have to continue to station so many troops, and the military expenditure saved every year would be hundreds of millions of yuan, and if they could get the full support of the Americans and smoothly occupy the islands of Mexico, Central America, and the West Indies, the price would be very low.

Moreover, what the Americans want is materials, and they must at least make more than double the profit, so that if they are calculated, they will actually pay less.

After communicating with Feng Guohua, Song Shijie and others, everyone felt that Zhang Wei's analysis was very correct.

From an economic point of view, it is paid in the form of materials to ensure that money does not flow out, or it circulates within the empire, which can promote the rapid development of the empire's economy.

From a military point of view, if Zhang Wei's goal is achieved, so that the Qi State, the Lu State, and the Southern Theater of Operations become a whole, and if the islands in the Caribbean are also occupied, the effect of blocking Europe from the Atlantic side will be better when the decisive battle with Europe is fought in the future; Moreover, after the United States moved away, Europe lost its springboard for counterattacking North America, and Qi and Lu did not need so many troops, and they could use these troops to occupy more territory.

In the end, a resolution was formed that 600 million summer dollars could be paid for supplies, and the additional condition was that the U.S. military must completely hand over the provincial capital of each state in Mexico to the army of the Southern Theater; The United States must send no less than 30 divisions to assist the Southern Theater of Operations in occupying the entire Central American region, and the handover method is the same as Mexico; Occupy all the islands of the West Indies except those occupied by Britain and France, and hand them over to the Southern Theater of Operations in their entirety.

Zhang Wei added another requirement to the above conditions, that the United States must complete the handover of the 13 states and the islands of the West Indies by 31 July.

Zhang Wei thought to himself, at the beginning, the United States used dollars to sponsor the Xia Empire to fight Japan, Britain and France, and now the Xia Empire has taken out 600 million yuan to let the United States help occupy the territory and withstand the pressure of the whites.
