Chapter 358: Pang Gang's conditions
Feeling the temperature in the side hall drop to freezing in an instant, Putsman's lips squirmed a few times and finally spoke: "Your Excellency, General, I know that the next request will be presumptuous, but I can swear to the Lord Almighty that we have no intention of offending you or your country in the slightest. Your army's new equipment with this musket can be said to be a milestone, it is very important for any army, here I take the liberty of making a rude request to you, that is, can you teach us how to make this musket, of course, as a report, we will pay a transfer fee that you are satisfied with! ”
After Putsman said these words with apprehension, he quietly looked at General Mingguo, who was bowing his head and sipping tea, waiting for the other party's answer.
After a long time, Pang Gang finally raised his head and said to Puttersman with a smile: "Your Excellency Putsman, since you also know that this request is very presumptuous, you should know how difficult your request is for us. If it were you, would you teach another country how to make the latest weapons that threaten national security? ”
Putsmann was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Oh, dear General, we in the Netherlands will never threaten the security of your country, you must know that we have come to the far east only to spread the glory of the Lord to the whole world, and we all yearn for peace, don't we?" ”
As soon as he heard the colonizer swear to say the oath of longing for peace, even Pang Gang, who was angry in his heart, could hardly help laughing, these colonists who enslaved other nations with muskets and bayonets actually longed for peace, which could not help but remind Pang Gang of the Yankees of later generations while shouting anti-terrorism and spreading soldiers to the face of the world.
Pang Gang shook his head slightly, "Okay! Even if what you say is true, as a general in charge, I must not pin the comfort of the country on that illusory verbal promise, which is irresponsible to the country and the people! ”
Hearing Pang Gang's resolute tone, Putsman felt disappointed for a while, but he still did not give up and said: "Your Excellency, General, I think we can sign a contract under the witness of the Lord, and you should rest assured with the contract, right?" ”
"Contract?" Pang Gang smiled disdainfully: "Your Excellency Putsman, haven't you heard a word?" The so-called contract is used to break, as long as there are enough benefits, does a thin contract really bind your country's political axe? ”
Listening to Pang Gang's words, Putsman and the people behind him were silent, although they were very reluctant, but they had to admit that the general of the East was telling the truth, as long as there were enough benefits, they could even sell their souls to the devil, let alone a contract.
Seeing Putsmann's disappointed eyes, Pang Gang was also secretly happy in his heart, these red-haired devils still occupy Lao Tzu's Taiwan, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't control too many elbows now, Ge Ming'er would have sent troops to Taiwan directly.
Pang Gang continued: "Your Excellency Putsman, with all due respect, the production technology of the new musket is related to our national security, and it is impossible for us to hand it over to any country, but there are some things that are not, and we still have a broad space for cooperation. ”
Putsman barely bred himself up and asked, "Oh, you mean ......"
Pang Gang stood up, pointed to a boxy building outside the side hall and said, "Your Excellency Puttersman, have you noticed the building outside, which we just built this year." ”
"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean!"
Not to mention Putsman, even the people around him looked at Pang Gang suspiciously.
Pang Gang smiled and explained, "Your Excellency, haven't you noticed that the materials used in this building are the same as the ones you stepped on all the way?" ”
"Really?" Putsman really didn't notice this, although he was surprised by the smooth road surface in Qingzhou all the way, he didn't think so far.
"It's built with a very magical material, and it doesn't just ......"
"It's incredible that God is above that there is such a miraculous thing in the world." As Pang Gang explained, Putsmann was shocked that there was a material in the world that could be stirred with water and dried to be as hard as stone.
"This is truly a magical country, and even such magical things can be invented!" Putsman's eyes were rolling around, and with the businessman gene in his bones, he immediately saw the huge business opportunities contained here.
He asked tentatively, "Your Excellency, are you going to sell us this method of making cement, which is called 'cement'?" ”
"No, no, no......" Pang Gang's head shook like a wavebreaker, "I'm not going to sell it to you." ”
"That'...... What do you mean? "Putsman was confused by Pang Gang, since you have proposed it and don't sell us its production method, you are making fun of us.
Fortunately, Pang Gang's guanzi didn't last long, and he continued: "You didn't understand what I meant, I mean I can give you this cement making method!" ”
"What?"
As soon as Pang Gang's words came out, almost everyone in the side hall jumped up, but the entourage behind Pang Gang was so anxious that they wanted to jump to their feet, while Putsman and the others were full of incredulous expressions.
In the end, everyone fixed their eyes on Pang Gang's face, and they knew that this general would definitely have something to do next.
Sure enough, Pang Gang then continued: "But I also have conditions. ”
"Sure enough, it's normal if there are conditions!"
Puttersman, who breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at Pang Gang calmly and said, "Your Excellency General, if you have any conditions, as long as it is within my scope of authority, I can agree to the conditions that do not violate my country's laws and regulations." ”
"In that case, I'll be blunt." Pang Gangfeng said word by word: "What I want is the right to maritime trade with the Netherlands!" ”
"Boom ......"
Pang Gang's words were like dripping a handful of salt from a pot of hot oil, and the side hall instantly boiled, but it was the Dutch who were boiling, and they began to talk about it.
"This ......"
Now it was Putsman's turn to be embarrassed, the countries of the Obaro continent in this era were all about trade surpluses, or as much as possible to pull precious metals into their pockets, and the people of Obaro did not change this until the eighteenth century.
