"Colonel Carter, pay attention to your identity, you are just an attaché, not an ambassador, and it is not your turn to dictate in this kind of negotiation, please shut up, otherwise I will ask you to return home early and go to court-martial!"

Brooks? Earl Wilson vs. Cannan? Colonel Carter was obviously a little unbearable, not because of his arrogance and arrogance, but because of his stupidity, not because of Cannan? Colonel Carter yelled like this, didn't he just put Brooks? Has the sinister intentions of Earl Wilson been made public, and this is simply beating him Brooks in public? Earl Wilson's face, even if Brooks? No matter how self-contained Earl Wilson was, by this time, his patience had been exhausted, and he rebuked him with a fierce voice, regardless of the fact that he was negotiating.

"I ......"

By Brooks? Earl Wilson scolded like that, Cannan? Colonel Carter's face was white even if he opened his mouth to say again, but when he saw Brooks? Earl Wilson's fierce gaze swept over, Cannan? Even though Colonel Carter was weak-hearted, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, but he still didn't dare to make any more nonsense.

"Your Royal Highness, Colonel Carter's remarks are personal and have nothing to do with the Kingdom of Great Britain, and I can assure you of this, and I beg your pardon for his stupidity and impulsiveness."

Forcibly stopped Cannan? After Colonel Carter's rambling, Brooks? Earl Wilson immediately changed his face, bowed to Hongqing with a sincere face, and saluted apologetically.

"Stupid? If Your Excellency the Earl does not want to lease to us the islands adjacent to your country, do not mention the lease of our islands, and if there are any more such remarks, we will regard you as a deliberate provocation and will be severely punished! ”

Hongqing doesn't eat Brooks at all? Earl Wilson, with a wave of his hand, gave a serious warning in a 'gloomy' voice.

Brooks? Earl Wilson is a proud man in the end, humility is just a disguise, this was so reprimanded by Hongqing, his face was a little unbearable, but he didn't want the negotiation to break down, so he didn't want to speak again, but set his eyes on William, who was sitting on the side? Sir Woodbridge.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Your Royal Highness, we have no intention of provoking your country, since His Royal Highness has a taboo on leasing a small island, then this matter will be dismissed, this does not affect our determination to engage in friendly trade with your country, if His Royal Highness has a better solution, we are happy to listen."

Although it is also from the name 'door', but William? Sir Woodbridge was just a sideshow, not Brooks? Earl Wilson's pride from the bottom of his bones, he doesn't care so much about face, he only cares about profits, and naturally he doesn't want to see the negotiation break down. Earl Wilson's hint immediately turned into a smirk on his face, indicating his willingness to continue negotiations.

"Sir Woodbridge is right, the solution is not difficult, since your country is not willing to lease a small island close to your country, then we are not reluctant, and it does not hurt to 'trade' the poison, as long as you can agree to our establishment of a garrison in Bombay or Hyderabad and provide supplies, we will be happy to send a large fleet to trade with you."

Hongqing didn't intend to completely fall out with the Kingdom of Great Britain at this time, since the other party took a step back, he would not be too much of himself, smiled indifferently, and did not pursue the other party's previous faux pas, but slowly proposed a compromise plan.

"Your Royal Highness, India is not the territory of my Kingdom of Great Britain, and we are unable to agree to your proposal, for which we can only express our deep regret."

The Kingdom of Great Britain had just fought a great war with France in India, and had just brought the whole of India under its rule, but despite the fact that rebellions and rebellions still occurred in various parts of India, how could it be possible to agree to the Qing Dynasty to go to India to 'intervene', of course, such facts are the secret of the Kingdom of Great Britain, William? Sir Woodbridge naturally wouldn't tell Hongqing the truth, so he spread his hands in embarrassment and politely rejected Hongqing's proposal.

"Hey, this is not good, that is not good, this king really does not feel where your sincerity is, in this case, according to this king, everything is better to remain as it is, your country needs supplies, can you buy it from Spain and other countries, Sir Sir, what do you say?"

After listening to the translation of the interpreter, Hongqing's face immediately became a little unpleasant, shook his head, and made a posture that he didn't want to continue the negotiation.

"Your Royal Highness, you can't say that, our demand is much greater than that of Spain, Portugal and other countries, according to business rules, we should be valued by you, if you buy from Spain, Portugal and other countries, our country's interests can not be guaranteed, and it is difficult for you to further develop the market, this is a lose-lose situation, please ask His Royal Highness to consider this in detail."

This look of impatience on Hongqing's face, Brooks? The Earl of Wilson can't hold on, and he won't wait for William? Sir Woodbridge spoke again, and he had already hurriedly interrupted from the side.

"Your Excellency, this king has only one answer to this matter, that is, there is no need to think about it, the goods of my Great Qing Dynasty are sold to whomever they sell, and there are so many sources of goods left and right, and if they are sold to you the Kingdom of Great Britain, it will not be able to guarantee the interests of old friends such as Spain, in this sense, the positions of you and us are too different, and I am afraid that there is no need to continue this negotiation."

When it comes to business theory, Hongqing's knowledge is definitely at the pinnacle level in the world, of course, he knows the importance of opening up the market, but for the Qing Dynasty, it is not the most urgent need. After all, the conditions for the industrial revolution are not yet mature, and the productivity is far from the point of surplus, far from the time when it is necessary to dump the overseas market, at least within five years, such demand is not enough to make changes, as for the future, Hongqing has already made comprehensive preparations, and it is really not bad for such a customer as the Kingdom of Great Britain.

"Your Royal Highness, I think you may have misunderstood business activities, demand is the fundamental driving force to promote the development of productive forces, if there is such a big customer as ours, it will definitely be able to make your country's production of various commodities to a higher level, in this sense, the cooperation between you and us is definitely a win-win good thing."

William? Sir Woodbridge, who had spent thirteen years in India, considered himself an Oriental expert, and in his opinion, the business ideas of the Orientals were extremely backward, and he took it for granted that Hongqing was also ignorant of economic activities, so he hurriedly sold his set of economic theories that seemed to be no more superficial, and tried to convince Hongqing with this.

"Your Excellency, this king has no interest in what you call a win-win situation, and the reason why we trade closely with Spain and other countries is because these countries have made corresponding guarantees, not only to allow us to establish businesses on their territory, but also to provide ports for our fleet to anchor and rest, if you want to establish direct trade with our Qing Dynasty, the above conditions are the most basic requirements, if you cannot even make such a simple request, the so-called sincerity is just a lie, there is no need to talk about it any further."

Hongqing shook his head and said that he did not agree with William? Sir Woodbridge's economic theory clearly put forward the most basic limit, and it was also an ultimatum to the British legations.

"Your Royal Highness, you mean that if we can also provide good ports of call and corresponding supply facilities in the East Indies, your country can also agree to our trade request, is it not misunderstood?"

Seeing that the negotiations are going to fall apart, William? Sir Woodbridge was really in a hurry, and in this hurry, he really found an emergency plan, and he didn't wait for Brooks? The Earl Wilson, the envoy, said something, and as soon as the interpreter finished relaying Hongqing's words, he immediately asked a question urgently. "Your Excellency is not entirely speaking, what the King is saying is that if you can provide a port of call and a corresponding supply, and give us the power to set up a branch near the port, we will consider commencing relevant trade cooperation with you, and if not, then there is no need to continue such pointless negotiations. William? As soon as Sir Woodbridge's words came out, Hongqing guessed what this guy was going to do, it was nothing more than to rely on the strong strength of the British Navy to snatch food from the Dutch, such things, the British Kingdom of Great Britain in the previous life and space really did it, Singapore was the British Navy from the Netherlands, in this regard, Hongqing is happy to see it, nothing else, the Qing Empire will sooner or later start a decisive battle with the old Western colonists, this is not only because of Hongqing's strategy of dominating the world, in fact, Even if the Qing Dynasty does not do it, the Western powers will not be silent for too long, the reason is very simple, after so many years of trade deficit, the wealth of Western countries flowing into the Qing Dynasty has accumulated to an extremely dangerous point, and in a few years, the finances of Western countries will really have big problems, and at that time, it will be strange if the culprit of the Qing Dynasty is not jointly attacked by Western countries, and now, let Western countries go to fight first, for the Qing Dynasty, of course, it is a good thing, of course, Hongqing is not stupid enough to point out the words, so he just talks about the facts.
