Chapter 591: Turnaround
The Spaniards were jointly pointed out by France and the Netherlands, and sent spies to infiltrate in a certain year and month, in fact, few people remember this kind of thing for a long time, but now it is different, the Australians are entangled with the Spaniards, how to start Spain without adding some material at this time.
So the Dutch and Spanish love-hate couples pinched each other, one side said that there was no thing, but the other party kept coming up with evidence to point out, and in the end, he pulled Australia, which was about to become an outsider, and said, you give a comment to see who is right or wrong.
Yu Bowen, who was dragged to the judgement, really wanted to cry without tears, you said that you guys are fighting and taking care of my, I am just a consul of the European Consulate General, how do I know about the past of your Chen sesame seeds.
So Yu Bowen's expression when he sat at the negotiating table was a hehe, watching the representatives of the two sides spray each other there, and when the spray is vigorous, France will also join in, and this dispute between Australians and Spaniards finally became a dispute between the three European countries.
This is something that Australia did not expect, and judging from the current situation, the Dutch are more sensitive than France, just like stepping on their little tails, keeping an eye on Spain, which is also natural, the Spanish army launched an attack not long ago, although it ended in a draw, but it still made the Dutch very angry.
Angry is angry, the Dutch have not lost their minds, they want to use the Australians against Spain in this way, but they don't think that the Australians are not so deceived.
Australia was surprisingly silent about this, did not make any speeches, and finally by the time the three countries were still in Hucha, Australia had already collected evidence that Spain had sent spies.
Holding the evidence to find the ambassador to Australia, Zhao Shijie smiled kindly, as if he had seen an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Ambassador Charles. We meet again, and this time I think you need to give me an explanation, I'm afraid you won't be able to do without an explanation. ”
After receiving the information handed by Zhao Shijie, Charles looked at it, which was a conclusive evidence that Spain was researching the steam engine and sending spies.
In accordance with the contract. If Spain imitates the steam engine, Australia can immediately stop the cooperation project, so after reading it, Charles attaches great importance to it, which is a difficult problem for him, and it is not possible to use delaying tactics, and he must report the situation he has to report to China as soon as possible.
In fact, sending spies is not a big deal, as long as you don't get caught, it won't be anything, but the point is that you are caught. And now there is conclusive evidence, you can't explain it.
The Australians can now seize this and terminate the steamship project they are currently working on, and once it stops, I am afraid that the Dutch will be the happiest people, and they can still continue to make horse-drawn carriages at sea without competition at sea.
Charles knew that he couldn't stop, and the expression on his face said it all, this time Zhao Shijie came to stop what he said.
"For your conduct. I am shocked and at the same time ashamed of you. Australia has every reason to terminate the contract with you for this kind of behavior. ”
Zhao Shijie's smiling face has turned into an angry face, and Charles is just laughing vigorously.
"Minister Zhao, I will give you an explanation for this matter as soon as possible, this is definitely not what His Majesty the King meant, you know that there are some greedy guys in the country. They always like to do stupid things. ”
Explanations are always needed, and although it is useless, Charles knows that this time it may not be so easy to fool around.
How the Australians obtained this evidence, there is no need to think about it now, but it is certain that one thing is certain. I guess there are quite a few Dutch, and their favorite thing to do is to stab them in the back.
It's just that if you don't give an explanation to the Australians, they will really stop the work because of this, and it will be a big loss for Spain, and the steamship project must not be stopped because of this matter.
"Minister Zhao, I am personally shocked by the evidence you have given, and this time we will definitely treat the questions you raised seriously, and hope that it will not affect the cooperation project of the steamship, which is actually not a good thing for our two countries."
A lot of equipment was shipped to Christmas Island, people and machines were built, and it would be very costly if it was stopped, so Charles thought it would be a loss for Australia.
Logically speaking, although this is the case, there is one thing he forgets, they still have a competitor, and this opponent will not let go of such a great opportunity.
The Dutch have always objected to the cooperation project of steamships, the purpose of which is that because there are too few steam engines exported each year to meet the domestic demand of the Netherlands, they hope that the Australians will increase the production of steam engines.
Once the number of steam engines increased, it meant that there were more steam ships in the Netherlands, and their advantages in sea transportation would be more obvious.
This is not a bad thing for Australia, even if Australia wants to take the sea transport route in the future, the profit will be much higher than that of the Dutch, because there is a clear difference between the price of ships that can be bought locally and the price of exports, not to mention that Australia itself will leave such a song.
"Mr. Charles, I don't think this will have any effect on us in Australia, for the Dutch ambassador has already consulted with me before I come to you, and if there is any accident with the shipbuilding on Christmas Island, they will be happy to settle the shipbuilders and craftsmen there."
Charles has also heard about the expansion of the Malacca shipyard, and Spain has always wanted to expand the shipyard, but without the consent of the Australians, it is conceivable that once the shipyard workers on Christmas Island go to Malacca, the newly built plant there can be directly put into use to produce ships.
The despicable and shameless Dutchman was simply hateful, and this time he was even more sure that there were Dutchmen in it, and they must have added fuel to the back, in order to obtain the shipbuilding equipment and workers of Christmas Island.
According to the number of steam engines exported by Australia, although the Dutch account for a large proportion, there are also restrictions, not just expanding the shipyard to get more machinery and equipment, and the Australians will never produce more equipment because of this.
So if they want to get more equipment, they need to do something else, and once the relationship between the Spanish and the Australian is terminated, it will be an opportunity for the Dutch to take over everything and then successfully expand their needs. Thinking of this, Charles couldn't help but feel a little frightened by the Dutch's conspiracy, but it was Spain itself that was ultimately provoked by this, and this would not have happened if he hadn't sent spies.
