Chapter 251: Playing with the Heart (Asking for Subscription)
Van Boer somehow persuaded the Speaker of the Netherlands to agree to the transfer of rights to several islands off the coast of Guyana to Australia.
But what is certain is that Van Boer is in a good mood now, absolutely good, because just today Yu Bowen clearly told him that the domestic weapons have been shipped to Christmas Island City, and it will not be long before they can be shipped to Europe.
This is definitely good news, the worry and gloom mood of the past few days are gone, Van Boor's whole body is much better, and his spirit is obviously much better, in his opinion, the Netherlands has only lost a few small islands, which are very many near the American continent.
At this time, the Netherlands did not have many colonies on the South American continent, and it can be said that the islands given to Australia did not belong to the Netherlands in name, but to Spain and Britain, but because some Dutch merchants built a few sheltered wooden houses on these islands.
The map provided by the Dutch shows that they basically classified all the islands around Dutch Guiana, that is, the Republic of Suriname, as Australia.
Australians would be shocked by the generosity of the Netherlands if they didn't know the history, but for a traveler who knows the history of later generations, it has to be said that the Dutch seem a little out of place.
Although the first settlement was established by the Dutch at the mouth of the Suriname River in 1551 until 1593, when it was declared a dependency by Spanish explorers, actual settlement began in 1602. But in 1630 the English occupied it, so it belonged to both the Netherlands and the Netherlands.
With the exception of a few small islands that were inhabited by Dutch merchants, it can be said that the vast tracts of land they had assigned to the map were actually in the hands of the British and Spanish.
This was a blank check, and the Dutch, who had always claimed sovereignty over the area, did not send troops to take it back.
Now that it has been promised to the Australians, it can be said that the Netherlands is playing tricks and wants the Australians and Spaniards to do it.
Despite the fact that the Netherlands and Britain were allies, the two countries had always been fiercely contested for colonization in various places, but at the same time they both had a common enemy. Basically, it can be said that no one wants to see anyone bigger.
If at this time the English knew that the Dutch were stabbing them in the back. It is estimated that he will scold the other party for being immoral.
"With all due respect, Mr. van Borr, the actual control of these islands and the lands to which you have been assigned is not in the hands of the Netherlands. It's Spain and England, and I doubt you're doing it for the real purpose. ”
The shrewd Dutch didn't expect that the Australian old man would actually know about the American continent, and he knew it so clearly, he originally thought that he could deceive the Australian old man with a few islands and lands that were not under his control, but he didn't expect the other party to know so clearly.
This puts Van Boer in a good mood. It became bad in an instant, and even he had seen the killing intent from under Yu Bowen's smiling face.
Oh my God, how could I see the killing intent, is it because of my imagination, it must not be possible.
"As a friend, I am surprised and outraged by what the Netherlands has done, and I think that if we go to this land and are attacked, the parliamentarians in the country will definitely send the military to sweep away your Batavia."
Yu Bowen's words made Van Boer break out in a cold sweat, this time it was a bit of stealing chickens and rice, and he lost his wife and soldiers.
"Mr. Consul General. You are mistaken, the Netherlands has absolutely no other intentions, this land is indeed ours, the British and the Spaniards are not legal, if you need us we can send warships and troops in the Americas to help you drive them away, but I believe that the valiant Australian army should not need our help. ”
Van Boer said cautiously, although he said that he could send troops, but in fact, the underlying meaning was that he did not mean to send troops.
"Of course, the valiant Australian army will not need your help, but what you have promised is a land of complete sovereignty, and I think the Dutch soldiers can completely take back this land and hand it over to our management. What do you think. ”
Although Australia has the ability to regain this land, and can even take it back without a single soldier, Yu Bowen does not want to let the Dutch just forget it, he plans to continue to cut meat from the Dutch. It doesn't matter if the other party agrees or not.
"To apologize, I think the Netherlands could consider setting aside some more land for Australia, what do you think?" In order to calm the anger in the other party's heart, Van Boer fought hard, and at this time he directly opened his mouth to give up a piece of land.
A smile appeared on the corner of Yu Bowen's mouth, spread out the map, and pointed to the location of Malacca: "Here." Australia wants to own a piece of land here. "As one of the most important sea passages in later generations, although the prosperity of this time cannot be compared with that of later generations, because of the arrival of the Spaniards and the British, it has also become the most important water artery.
"No, it's impossible," Van Boll shook his head in agreement, it was absolutely unacceptable, the Dutch knew better than anyone the importance of this waterway, and although there were pirates in the area at this time, they didn't want anyone else to get involved.
Yu Bowen seemed to underestimate the importance that the Dutch attached to this place, and obviously thought that the other party would refuse, which was too unexpected for him.
"Mr. Van Boor, I think we should have a good talk, it is not a loss to carve out a piece of land here for us, as far as I know, there are often pirates here, even the past shopping malls in the Netherlands are often looted, if we are here, we will definitely sweep away the pirates and provide a good environment for passing merchant ships."
No matter how good Yu Bowen said, Van Boer resolutely disagreed, and in the end he could only reply after asking for instructions, but he already vaguely felt in his heart that he did not pit the Australians this time, but was pit by the Australian veterans.
Looking at Van Boer, who was in a good mood at the beginning, and now has a sad expression, Yu Bowen really wants to say a word, be honest and don't deceive people, otherwise you will have to pay it back sooner or later.
Originally, the negotiations between the two sides had been very pleasant, but now that it was like this, Van Boor didn't know how to deal with it, so he had to push it all back to Mr. Speaker, which was originally his problem, if he hadn't had Australia in mind, I'm afraid he wouldn't have let the Australians find a new excuse for blackmail.
At this time, the Australian's psychology in Van Boor has upgraded from a-stirring stick to a wolf, a vicious wolf that will bite up when he sees prey. (To be continued.) )
