If the territory of the Malay Peninsula is exchanged for supplies provided by Australia, it can be said that the cost is very large, and the territory controlled by the English is located on the coast of the Strait of Malacca, this important water passage, although not as busy as later generations, in the world of the 17th century, it is also an important passage from the Indian Ocean to the countries on the eastern Pacific coast.

It was not for nothing that the English chose to occupy this place as a stronghold, both to control the merchant ships to the countries of Southeast Asia and to a certain extent as a base for advancement. If compared to the colonies of India, it is actually insignificant, after all, this body of water has not been fully valued.

Even if we pay attention to it, with the current navigation technology and the navigation capability of warships, it is not enough to pose a threat to the ships of any country.

The reason why Australia wants to be here is entirely because an enclave is separated by England in the middle, and supplies can only be transported by sea and borrowed through England's territory, of course, Australia can also take this territory between them, but this will inevitably lead to direct hostility with England, which is not good for Australia.

At the same time, it was at odds with England and the Netherlands, which was not conducive to Australia's policy of division, and the Australian government decided to use the power of England to fight it against the Netherlands.

Fink was Cromwell's representative, but in the course of the negotiations he had no right to decide where to exchange the land, and he had to choose between an area that Cromwell had given him.

Australia now wants land in the Malay Peninsula, which is an extremely difficult thing for him.

"Mr. Consul, you really don't think about it, in other places, the land in the Americas is much better than there."

"Mr. Fink, the land of America is good, but it is too far away for us, and the winters there are cold, and our people will be very unaccustomed to the weather."

The weather in North America and the native forests. It was a wild land, and if the Australian government chose to go there, it would be a brainless decision, in order to obtain a piece of land that it simply had no ability to hold, this exchange of interests was simply too stupid.

Therefore, Yu Bowen insisted on the land of the Malay Peninsula, which was decided by the Australian Parliament after detailed discussions, so it will never be changed.

"Mr. Fink, you need not be in a hurry to answer, you can go back and ask Your Excellency the General, if he wishes, we will provide you with supplies at any time. What do you think. ”

Fink nodded, it was the only way, otherwise there was no other way.

However, Cromwell would definitely agree that he should be able to understand which was more important than the control of the land in the Far East, at least compared to the control of the homeland.

At this time, the British royalist army had received a batch of military aid from the Spaniards, and although Spain was in an economic crisis, it was still very keen to consume the rival forces of the Netherlands. As long as it can be done by the English, then things will be much easier.

Therefore, Spain gave support to the royalist army even in difficulties, and this fearless spirit seems to have the meaning of a great power in the afterlife.

Maybe the big countries have this kind of plot. Not only in the 21st century, but in the 17th century, it may have begun.

Fink sent back the news that the Australians' offer was not too harsh, if Cromwell agreed. Then the payment method will be Australian weapons and military supplies.

This amount of supplies was very important to Cromwell, and with enough supplies he could defeat the other party and win the political circles of England in one fell swoop.

For the collusion of the royalists at home with Spain. Cromwell had begun to take it seriously, and it was not good for him.

Of course, in order to get the material support of the Australians as soon as possible, he also sent the Dutch to help, but the effect was not great.

At this time, the Dutch were in conflict with Australia, and the two sides were negotiating the ownership of the colonies in the Far East, so the Australians did not have a good opinion of them.

Fink's words in the blog post made people tell Cromwell as it was, and Comrade Lao Ke fell into tangled thinking, after all, from the map, the importance of this land is still quite large, and England does not have many colonies in Southeast Asia, which can be used as a base for advancement, and can also be used as a springboard for expansion like the whole of East Asia.

Tangled he didn't know how to choose, the Australians wanted here, and the reason given was very good, because the two colonies between them were separated by such an English land, and if it was himself, he would choose this place, not the distant Americas.

In fact, the British are not much smaller than the historical Russian Tsarina Ekarina, and there is always a feeling of heartache when the land is given to others.

This kind of heartache is like a knife cut, so they can't hand over the land so easily, for Cromwell, it is precisely because the Australian power in the Americas is weak, even if there is such a large piece of land, they have to rely on their own relationship to maintain, from another aspect, this land is equivalent to their own deposit in the name of the Australians.

I don't know if the Australian old man sees this trick, or if he is really not interested here, so he will choose the Malay Peninsula.

Australia's material support was key, and another important reason was that the support of the Dutch had been reduced, because the Netherlands had to reduce their support for Cromwell in the face of Spanish war pressure, which is why Lao Ke urgently needed a new supporter.

If this is given to the Australians, the Australian veterans can be connected together, so as to improve the development and defense of the colony a lot, and it can even be said to be the development of a medium.

But at the same time, England needs to bear the burden of future expansion like Southeast Asia, which will lose an important transit point and forward base.

It is also certain that England will inevitably clash with the Australians here in the future, but at least there is no conflict between the two sides for now.

There is still a certain degree of cooperation between the two sides here, at least here, even if the current way of cooperation and alliance is not as good as that of the Dutch, but at least it is certain that the two sides will still be able to cooperate in two years.

Because the Dutch in this area for the existence of Australians have felt threatened, in the use of different means to suppress Australia, this is no secret thing, has become a public matter, thinking for a long time, Cromwell still decided to agree to the Australians' way of cooperation, at least in terms of materials, he does not have to worry about the next two years, as long as Australia's long-term meal ticket is there, he will never lose.
