Chapter 249: Burnt Out
Australia has no intention of participating in the wars of European countries, nor does it want to join any of the camps, although Australia looks like it has the strength to participate, but this does not mean that the crossing crowd will be hot.
The traversers can't find any reason to send troops to Europe, not even a reluctant reason, if you have to say that it is for that humiliating history, then well, we can sell weapons and goods to our heart's content, and we can let them fight you to the death, why do you have to do it yourself.
Doing it yourself is like a martial artist, and the end of attacking everywhere will be very miserable, and it won't take a hundred years for Australia to collapse, and this result is not what everyone wants.
And in Guangzhou, he helped Shen Yulong train recruits, because it is related to the vital interests of Australia in the future, whether it is immigration or the market, Daming is what Australia needs most.
Therefore, there is a good reason for Australia to directly interfere in the internal affairs and even the war of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and there is still an obsession in everyone's hearts, that is, they do not want the Manchus to rule this land in the future, in order to stop their rule, the crossing will definitely send troops to stop it, that is to avoid the beginning of civilization towards barbarism.
The place of Dayuan Island is not important to Australia at this stage, and even if it is occupied and classified as an overseas territory, it is not of much use, and the reason why it negotiated with the Dutch is because they want to obtain some benefits.
Regardless of whether the surname of the country will have any plans to recover this place in the future, it is certain that Australia will definitely instigate him to recover the members and move the entire Zheng family's forces here.
The Zheng family is such a huge local warlord, and they control the coastal trade, if they make a rebellion, it will definitely give the Ming court a headache, so they must not continue to stay in Fujian, the best place is to hang alone overseas and become a high-level autonomous region of the Ming Dynasty.
Recently, the European Consulate General in Amsterdam has been urging the Dutch to give a reasonable explanation or withdraw their staff, but they have been cleverly avoided for various reasons.
But the news recovered from yesterday's Far East suggests that the Australians have made a move. According to the Batavia side, a permanent warship from the Australian city of Christmas Island sailed to Batavia for a short rest before heading towards Hong Kong.
All of this indicates that the Australians were transferred to a warship to garrison Hong Kong. It's very close to O'Yuan Island, and if they really plan to retake it by force, then now is the time for them to start deploying and attack when everything is ready.
That's true. Then the Dutch merchants and soldiers stationed on Dayuan Island were dangerous, and the Australians were quite sharp in their firearms, which had been fully demonstrated on the battlefield.
This battlefield was, of course, the site of the Holy Roman Empire's rivalry with France and other countries, and it is said that the Spanish Secret History had negotiated the sale of weapons with the Australians. How can the damned Australian old man be in the same league as the Spaniards, are they on the side of Spain, so thought many officials of the Republic of the United Provinces of the Netherlands.
But when one of them questioned Yu Bowen, the other party welcomed each other to sit down, drink tea, and eat pastries with oriental characteristics with a smile on his face, and waited until the other party ate almost the same. It is also in the aftertaste of tea and pastries.
Yu Bowen suddenly spoke, "Dear Sir, Australia is friendly to all European friends, regardless of nationality or race, if your army also needs to buy weapons, I am glad to sit down and talk to you." ”
No matter how bad the face of the officials sent by the Dutch side was, Yu Bowen looked at the other party with a smile, and even made the other party unable to get angry at all.
Although he did not do practical and diplomatic negotiation work before the crossing, this did not affect the performance of Bowen, and he was also from a diplomatic family. It may be an exaggeration to say that he has an innate diplomatic ability, but Yu Bowen is definitely a good diplomat.
No matter if he is facing the envoy or minister of any country, he will not get angry easily. There was even a hint of disgust on his face, this is a guy who can hide his joys, sorrows and sorrows very well, so that the Europeans who come into contact with him cannot see any flaws in his facial expressions at all.
The Australians said they could sit down and talk about arms exports, but in reality they came with a greeting from the Dutch, who treated them the way they were.
Personnel on both sides can talk about the specific price of the exported weapons, but talk about what can be delivered. On this issue, Australians began to hesitate not to give a definite time.
This makes the Dutch go crazy, how can it be good to drag on like this, in addition to the latest news received, Spain has reorganized a phalanx of 500 infantry with weapons imported from Australia, which seems to be a small number, but the sharpness of Australian muskets is obvious to all.
Moreover, the armed Spaniards seemed to want to tear up the armistice and start a full-scale war with the Netherlands again, this idea was very terrible, and if the Netherlands entered a new state of war with Spain, then it would definitely have to devote a lot of energy to face Spain, and the overseas colonies and markets would also be greatly affected.
In the face of this situation, it can be said that the Dutch were no longer allowed to play delaying tactics, and the Australians had obviously acted in two ways: in the Far East they mobilized troops to gather in Hong Kong, and in Europe they negotiated terms and signed contracts with Spain and the Holy Roman Empire and other countries.
The members of the Dutch parliament were so anxious that they wondered if the occupation of Dayuan Island was really that important. But if they had listened to Australia's words, withdrawn from Dayuan Island and taken charge of reparations, then where would the dignity of the Netherlands be, which would have made the Spaniards and even their allies, the English, laugh off their big teeth.
Even in the face of the Spanish heavy advance, the Netherlands never flinched. But this time it's different, and the Australian boss almost doesn't have to do it himself, so he can make the whole Netherlands get into trouble.
It was enough for them to sell weapons to Spain, and this step was enough for the Netherlands to be in trouble. But the reality tells each of them that if there is no result, Australians will be happy to see them in trouble, and even learn a lesson from Spain.
Don't look at the appearance of Australians who are kind to people on weekdays, the Dutch who have the most contact with them know that Australia is always a-stirring stick, and you have to insert a foot everywhere you stir up, and you can also create all kinds of reasonable reasons that you can't object.
In any case, it is vital to the Netherlands that the matter of Dayuan Island be settled with the Australians as soon as possible. (To be continued.) )
