Rogers thought for a moment and asked, "What do you mean that there is a greater good between us?" ”

Lin Fei smiled slightly, patted the shell of the Blue Bird Machine with his hand, and said, "Do you know how much benefit it will bring to your British Empire?" ”

Rogers thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know much about technical things. ”

Lin Fei looked at Adriano and said, "You should understand, right?" ”

Adriano thought for a moment and nodded, and Lin Fei continued: "Mr. Adriano, then please tell Mr. Sù Rogers, this thing will bring great benefits to your British Empire." ”

Rogers turned his head to look at Adriano when he heard Lin Fei's words, and said, "Is what he said true?" ”

Adriano nodded solemnly, Rogers' eyes flashed with surprise and doubt, he couldn't believe that the small Chinese Empire could bring benefits to the British Empire.

Lin Fei said with a smile: "If you agree to conclude an agreement with us alone, I will transfer the technology of the Jade Bird Machine to you, how about it?" Promised? ”

Rogers pondered for a long time and said, "Then it depends on the content of the agreement, what agreement do you want to conclude with us?" ”

Lin Fei said solemnly: "Free Trade Agreement, our Chinese Empire can trade freely with the British Empire, as for tariffs, trade ports and other things, we can discuss in detail in the next talks." ”

Rogers said: "If we sign such an agreement, it means that we recognize the Chinese Empire's possession of the Philippines, right? ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "Of course, I think you may be a little reluctant, but you should understand that it is more in the interests of your Britain to sign such an agreement with us, if you don't sign an agreement, you will have to go to war with us, I have already made it very clear before, we are different from the Qing Empire, you don't spend billions of pounds, you don't kill and wound hundreds of thousands of people, don't want to conquer us." ”

"If you agree to sign an agreement, British goods can enter the Chinese Empire, you have a market for millions of people, and the goods of the Chinese Empire can also enter the British and enrich your country's market, and both of us can profit from trade, isn't it more in the interests of both sides than going to war?"

Rogers was silent, and after a while he said, "I can't answer you immediately about this matter, I need to discuss it with my subordinates." ”

Lin Fei smiled and said, "Okay, we can go back now, there is enough time, you can discuss it slowly." ”

Rogers agreed, so Lin Fei ordered Gao Longcheng to drive the battleship back to Manila, and on the way, Lin Fei sent an order to the coastal defense command of Corregido Island, asking them to send Claros back.

As soon as the Pangu ship arrived at the dock, Rogers and Adriano hurriedly said goodbye, and Lin Fei was just about to go back, when Gao Longcheng asked on the side: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that the Blue Bird Machine is a top secret among top secrets, and it can't be known to outsiders?" Why should it be transferred to the British? ”

Lin Fei hurriedly went back to eavesdrop on the conversation between Rogers and Adriano, didn't explain much, laughed, turned around and left, what Gao Longcheng didn't know was that Lin Fei's transfer of the Jade Bird Machine seemed to be a big loss, but in fact he took a big advantage,

Because the Jade Bird machine is a very primitive wireless communication equipment, the structure is bulky, the performance is inferior, Lin Fei and other electron tubes will be eliminated as soon as they come out, and at this time, the manufacture of the tube is only stuck in a few key steps, and it will be able to break through in time, so the Jade Bird machine is completely a device that is about to be eliminated.

After the British get the Jade Bird machine, they will inevitably find ways to improve it, but no matter how they change it, they can't change the tube, and their limited money and energy will be spent on improving the Jade Bird machine, and the gap between them and Lin Fei is getting farther and farther.

The British got the Blue Bird machine and it was very beneficial to Lin Fei, that is, Lin Fei could listen to the wireless communication of the British, at this time the wireless communication technology was just starting, and the British would definitely not think of using complex passwords, so Lin Fei could easily grasp the wireless communication content of the British.

Generally speaking, Lin Fei dug a big pit for the British with the help of the Blue Bird machine, and asked the British to jump down, and the British not only did not realize that they were facing a big pit, but on the contrary, they were complacent and couldn't wait to jump into the pit.

Lin Fei got off the boat and immediately rushed to the Governor's Palace, came to the listening location, and directly picked up the earpiece in Rogers' room, only to hear Rogers' puzzled voice coming from inside: "Mr. Adriano, will that wireless communication device really be of great benefit?" ”

Adriano replied solemnly: "That's right... I can't say enough about the benefits of that wireless communication device, let me give you a few examples, for example, the fleet is driving on the sea, and the enemy ship is discovered, and we have to line up in a formation to meet the battle, how can the fleet commander order his subordinates to adjust the formation? ”

"Now we rely on flags and light signals, these things are quite unreliable, especially after the battle begins, the thick smoke of the artillery will obscure the sight of the various battleship observers, so that they cannot see the orders issued by the fleet commander, but with wireless communication equipment, everything is different, and the fleet commander can command the fleet as he wants."

"This equipment has a greater impact on the army, for example, scouts can be sent farther and detect enemy forces earlier, and troops can be moved farther away to launch strikes at enemy rear."

"Mr. Rogerster, you should know that the German Emperor Wilhelm II is ambitiously preparing a plan to expand his military power, which poses a serious threat to the dominance of our British Empire, and that our British Empire needs more powerful weapons and equipment to defend our position, so this equipment is very important to us..."

Claros said dissatisfiedly: "But then we can't punish the Huaxia Empire, do you know how hateful Lin Fei, the emperor of the Huaxia Empire, is?" ”

Rogers coughed lightly and said: "Mr. Claros, you calm down, we are only talking about national interests now, not personal likes and dislikes, today Lin Fei put forward a request to sign a free trade agreement, I think this matter is more in line with the interests of our British Empire, what do you think?" ”

Claros raised his voice and said, "No... This is not in the interests of our British Empire, but the conditions offered by the Spaniards are in our interests, and you think about it, the railways, the telegraph, the minerals, they are all yellow and clear gold..."

Adriano said gloomily: "Although the benefits of the Spaniards are tempting, we have to go to war with the Chinese Empire to get them, which is absolutely impossible, we can't mobilize so many troops to fight a big war in the Philippines." ”

Claros let out a long sigh and said, "Then we can only agree to sign a free trade agreement with Lin Fei?" ”

Rogers smiled and said: "Mr. Claros, don't be so pessimistic, we signed a free trade agreement with the Chinese Empire, and it is still us who profits, after all, the industrial strength of our British Empire is the first in the world, and our industrial products will definitely be able to completely occupy the market of the Chinese Empire." ”

Lin Fei couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and thought to himself, whose industrial products occupy whose market, not necessarily...

Lin Fei thought in his heart, only to hear Rogers say: "Okay, we will sign a free trade agreement with Lin Fei tomorrow, Governor Barak, let's not sue him first." ”

Lin Fei was happy when he heard that Rogest had agreed to sign a free trade agreement, and then he heard the door open in Rogers' house, and then he heard the voice of an attendant: "Mr. Rogers, Governor Barak asks to see you." ”

Rogers said, "Please let him in." ”

It didn't take long for Governor Barak's voice to sound in the room, and after a few pleasantries, Governor Barak asked directly: "Mr. Rogers, Lin Fei asked you for a secret talk today, what did you talk about?" ”

Rogers laughed and said, "Lin Fei is playing tricks, the so-called secret talk is just talking about the same thing in another place." ”

Governor Barak said "oh" and asked, "Did Lin Fei agree to withdraw his troops from Manila?" ”

Rogers said gloomily: "No, Lin Fei's attitude is very tough, and he does not agree to withdraw troops from Manila. ”

Governor Barak exclaimed in surprise and said, "Our Spanish Empire has given you all the right to exploit mineral deposits, and now there is really nothing left. ”

Rogers smiled and said, "I didn't mean that, if you're okay, please go back and rest." ”

Governor Barak said a few kind words and said goodbye, Lin Fei was just about to put down the microphone, when he suddenly had an idea, called the staff officer Li Tianqian, and said: "Invite Governor Barak to my office secretly, and say that I want to talk to him secretly." ”

Li Tianqian agreed, Lin Fei got up and went back to his office, and when Governor Barak walked in, Governor Barak saw Lin Fei and remembered that Cotabato was conquered by Lin Fei, and his face couldn't help but be a little afraid, Lin Fei laughed loudly: "Governor Barak, do you know what I asked you to come for this time?" ”

Governor Barak shook his head, Lin Fei put away his smile, and said with a straight face: "I want to tell you that your Spanish Empire has been betrayed by the British..."

Governor Barak frowned, and asked in surprise, "What did you say?" ”

Lin Fei said solemnly: "During today's secret talks, the British proposed to conclude an agreement with us separately and no longer take care of you. ”

Governor Barak looked suspicious and asked, "How can I believe that your words are true?" ”

Lin Fei said: "In order to gain our trust, the British told me the terms of the transaction between you, the right to build and operate railways, the right to lay telegraph lines, and the right to mine mineral deposits. ”
