Chapter 526: Mediation
The two sides on this side fought like a fire, and at the negotiation table on the other side, the two sides did not let go of each other, and the representatives of the two sides met, and their noses were almost up to the sky.
The English are speechless, you beat you, I actually just want to sell to the Australians, okay, and now you have turned me here into your negotiating table, is this good, I'm very unhappy.
Unable to stand both sides, Gavin sent someone to invite the Australians to participate in the negotiations, but the Australians said that they had no interest in the land there, and said that it was of no use to Australia.
It's hurtful to say this, it's taken the English decades of business to develop here, you just say that you're not interested, and you say it's useless at all, isn't it hurtful?
However, Gavin also knew that if Australia attended, the price of the land would be higher, so he still asked for everything, hoping that they would come.
Gavin, who was anxious to raise money, asked very sincerely, hoping that they would come, or even buy, and they were willing to reduce the fee a little, yes, He Yu who was on the side at the time almost thought that he had heard it wrong, this Englishman was not sick in his brain.
When the other party said that he hoped to settle the bill by using Australian supplies and weapons, he thought that the British Civil War was now in a critical period, and if there were not enough weapons and materials at this time, it would be certain that the war would be lost.
According to the intelligence department's understanding, Gavin is a royalist, which means that this guy should know about Cromwell's plan, so the royalist high-level will do this, and the feelings of people sell land just to sell it to themselves, but they don't want to.
Looking at the old Australian with a clear face, the English people were speechless, aren't you very eager for land, why don't you want it if you give it to you now, won't this play yourself.
Seriously, he was a little reluctant, after all, he had been here for decades. Watching the town you built up sell to others like this, you will naturally feel uncomfortable.
The Governor of Malacca, Zhang Wei and He Yu, both felt that the English were simply too hard, and they couldn't stand it if it went on like this, Australia's desire for land was not to the point of madness, and there was really no use for Australia here.
Since the English are so sincere, then as friendly parties, do they still need to help each other, so Zhang Wei asked He Yu to go, just to see how the battle between the Spaniards and the Dutch was going.
These two guys can be said to love and kill each other, and even a little weird. How to say it, they originally belonged to a country, and since the Dutch themselves became independent, they have been fighting constantly, in Europe itself, and in overseas colonies, in short, fighting.
I can't stop the rhythm at all, and no matter what battlefield it is, Spain is basically a hanging existence, which makes the boss of the empire hurt very much. How can this be like this, is it good! I'm the boss.
Regardless of whether you are the boss or not, it is a fact that the Dutch are better than you, and the rise of the Dutch old can be said to be stepping on the shoulders of Spain.
So the Spaniards have always had a deep grudge against them. It's like a resentful woman who wants the other party to be hanged and beaten.
Many times the Spaniards have proposed to cooperate with the Australians, but Australia has not directly printed, this kind of thing cannot be agreed openly, once agreed to the impact on Australia can be imagined.
Australia and the Dutch are partners, at least for now, as military allies. The two sides have cooperated quite well in joint anti-piracy operations in Southeast Asia.
So at least on the surface, it will not have a bad relationship with the Netherlands, but as Brown's anti-Australian behavior becomes more and more serious, Australia will also have to teach the other party a lesson.
The material support for Spanish weapons was motivated by this consideration. Otherwise, Australia's exports to Southeast Asia are indeed strictly limited, and Spain will not sell them to the other side at all, based on the annual purchase volume.
As the top leader of the military, He Yu attended the negotiations between them to buy land, in fact, to see how the two sides fought.
The conflict between the two sides is said to have escalated, and more than 1,000 troops have been committed, which is a very large force for the Malay Peninsula.
As one of the forces in the region, the Australians naturally want to show their concern, and there is also a purpose to communicate with Spain and let the Spanish buy this land.
Although this may make Spain bigger and pose a threat to Australia, it will be no problem for at least the next 20 years, Spain is no longer the empire on which the sun never sets, and he no longer has the strength to compete with Australia for maritime supremacy.
For example, Spain is already struggling to fight against the Netherlands, and if it weren't for the help of the Australian butterfly, he would probably fall into the ranks of second-rate countries.
Therefore, the Spaniards clearly know the importance of alerting the thighs of the Australians, and once they hug them tightly, it is still possible to maintain the status of a first-class country.
He Yu accepted the invitation of the English to attend the meeting, and both sides fell into a state of anxiety, Spain was anxiously worried, the Australians would definitely not have a chance when they came, and the Dutch were worried that the Australian was old enough to do this, in fact, they didn't know that the English themselves invited it.
He Yu saw that it was an old friend, and shook hands with them in a big square to say hello, but the Dutch shook hands with a stiff expression and no politeness, probably saying in his heart, why is this guy here.
Don't look at He Yu as an officer, but at the negotiating table he also belongs to those diplomats. So they still have some understanding of this guy's sharpness.
The main thing is to hear how the two sides can solve the current problem, after all, a protracted war is extremely detrimental to the region, and it is not suitable for commercial exchanges.
The Australians are more concerned about when they will end the war, and then as for the two of them to buy the land here, it has nothing to do with Australia, and Australia does not need the land here, so the most important thing is to know what they will do to end the war.
However, according to experience, it will not take more than a month, after all, both sides cannot afford to spend it, and the Dutch Batavia's troops should also be evacuated to prevent the Australians, after all, there is still a black water existence by their side.
As for the Australians' proposal to settle the dispute by peaceful means, the two sides acquiesced, after all, they are all going to end, and it is better to let the Australians mediate. (To be continued.) )
