On the deck of the Sea Blue, Wang Tiehammer looked at the streets of Batavia not far from the port, took a puff of the cigarette in his hand, and asked seriously: "Do you really want to establish an embassy here?" ”

Zhao Shijie, Liu Yun and the others who were standing behind him nodded in affirmation.

"Lao Wang, there are only advantages and disadvantages in this matter, sooner or later, if no one is willing to stay, I am willing to stay in Batavia as the first ambassador of Australia." Liu Yun recommended himself with a smile on his face.

This, that's not the case, the main purpose of our coming out this time is trade, Wang Tiezhu frowned and looked at everyone with some embarrassment: Now you want to establish an embassy in Batavia, which is obviously not within the scope of the main task this time, we should go back to Manchengji to discuss with Zhou Lao and others to make a decision.

For the suggestions of Hu Xijing, Liu Yun and others, Wang Tiezhu obviously disagreed, and he was a little conservative, he always felt that Australia was not strong enough now, and it was too early to establish an embassy. But the majority of the members of the trade group were in favor of establishing an embassy in Batavia.

According to the feedback received from the just-concluded Australian mirror agent bidding conference, Hu Xijing and others finally decided that it was necessary to establish an official embassy in Batavia to prepare for the promotion of Australian products that were about to be mass-produced.

Although the number of people in the bidding meeting a day ago was only 100 people, the total amount of contract intentions signed was very high, in order to disappoint the businessmen of various countries who were not invited to the Australian mirror agents, the staff of the foreign trade team took out several copies of the product introduction drawings that the industrial group was about to launch, and the product promotion drawings drawn with modern oil paintings made the eyes of the businessmen of various countries in the 17th century shine, as if they had seen a rare treasure.

In addition to the discussion of the product promotion, the 17th-century hillbillies showed a novelty for anything on board, whether it was a stainless steel teacup for drinking water or a large glass on the ship, all of which reflected Australian luxury and opulence.

The venue for the tender was set up in the central recreation area of the Sea Blue, which was originally an area for tourists to hold drinks and other activities here at night, so the decoration was very luxurious, whether the lamps and teacups were used for famous brands, and it is no wonder that a group of 17th-century merchants from various countries lamented the old wealth of Australia.

Although Wang Tiehammer did not agree with the establishment of an embassy now, when everyone in the foreign trade team sat together to discuss the vote, in the end Hu Xijing and others won by 4 votes and had to agree to establish an embassy in Batavia.

When Hu Xijing and his official way submitted the paperwork for the establishment of an embassy to the governor of Batavia, Van Diemen, the famous Eastern expansionist in Dutch history, he was confused, and Australia was old enough to establish an embassy here.

In the 17th century, there was no such thing as an embassy, and the interaction between the two countries was generally done by sending an envoy to inform the country and then making a decision. Now the Australians have suddenly proposed to establish an embassy here in order to facilitate exchanges between the two countries and the rights and interests of future Australian citizens in Batavia, and the Dutch are not allowed to enter the embassy area without Australia's consent. and Australia has the right to be responsible for the personal safety of its public servants in the embassy area.

This document does not look like the official version of the establishment of the embassy, but prefers to the version of the establishment of the concession, and the whole agreement was formulated with the participation of all the crossing parties on the ship, and finally sorted out into the current nondescript application for the establishment of an embassy.

When it was sorted out, the guys on the boat seemed to be very satisfied, and they didn't see Hu Xijing's face darkening at all, which simply forced Van Dymen to carve out an area in Batavia for Australia, but since the guys insisted, she also handed it over to Van Dymen with the mentality of giving it a try.

"Damn, damn it, Australia is really going to be an inch," Van Dimen slapped his desk angrily, and the teacups on the table were also ping-pong.

Brian, who was standing on the side, waited for his mood to calm down a little, and comforted: "Your Excellency the Governor, if you don't agree to the old Australian, I'm afraid it will cause another war, and if our fleet is all sunk, you know what it means." ”

"No, no, damn old Australians, I'll have to pay for them when I find out where their nest is, now, just reluctantly agree to them."

"Then the land of the embassy district proposed by Australia, where is Your Excellency the Governor going to divide it?" Brian kindly reminded.

"Land, isn't the land in the north of the city just right, where people live in the Ming Dynasty, since these Australian elders have the same ancestors as them, let them go there to establish an embassy area."

Fan Dimen suddenly thought of a good idea, since he can't refuse, then find something unhappy for the Australian old, most of the people living in the north of Batavia City are immigrants and natives from the Ming Dynasty, although it is also within the management of Batavia City, but it is definitely an outer city to really count, compared to the security environment of the inner city, it is much worse.

However, when Australians first arrived, they did not designate a place, but they just let themselves find a piece of land, and even if they found something wrong, they could not find an excuse to make trouble. Thinking of his good idea, Van Dimen had a strange smile on his face.

Brian always felt that Governor Van Diemen's decision was a little inappropriate, what if the Australian old man found out that it was wrong to shell it in the next shelling, but he had seen the power of Australian artillery, so he reminded here: "Your Excellency the Governor, do you really want to assign that piece of land to Australia as an embassy district?" ”

"Of course, Brian, I know your concerns, don't worry, the Australians don't have enough reason to shell again, they can only eat deflated."

"Well, Your Excellency the Governor, everything is up to you, and I will reply to the old Australian." Brian shook his head and exited the room.

"Haha, the Dutch man really agreed," shouted a guy on the Aquamarine, holding the paperwork Brian had sent, and shouted happily.

"Hehe, it's just a piece of land, I'm afraid it's intimidated by our force, after all, the power of our artillery is not small." Zhao Shijie said with a smile.

"Don't be too happy, I've already checked out this land, it's not in the inner city of Batavia but in the outer city, where the security environment is very bad, and most of the people living in it are immigrants from the Ming Dynasty and local natives, so Fan Dimen is under our control for a while, and we didn't specify which land." Liu Yun suddenly interrupted the discussion of the excited young men and told what he knew. It's like pouring cold water on the boys' heads.

"Insidious Dutchman, we must make them pay," the boys clamored for the next bombardment of Batavia.

But Hu Xijing, who had been standing on the side and had not spoken, showed a charming smile on the corner of his mouth, "Maybe this is not a bad situation." ”
