Trade 2

"Damn, when did that giant ship appear, can any of you tell me." Anthony van Diemen, the current governor of Batavia, looks angrily at a middle-aged European man and asks questions.

"Your Excellency the Governor, I don't know, the other party seems to have appeared suddenly, the news from the port, the other party asked to dock, whether he agreed."

"Docking, no, it must not be allowed, until it is clear who the other party is, must not let them dock, notify the coastal defense forces to aim their artillery at the giant ship, and once you find that the giant ship is forcibly docking, give me a cannonball to welcome him Heard."

"Yes, Your Excellency, I will do what you want."

"Wait," Anthony Van Diemen seemed to remember something, and waved his hand to stop the middle-aged man who was about to walk out of the room, and asked him to send a small boat to negotiate, I want to know where they came from.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor."

The middle-aged man came to the harbor and asked the Flag Soldier to tell the Governor what the Governor meant, and the soldier waved his hand to make a few professional flags.

A naval soldier on the deck of the Sea Blue looked at the gesture of the Dutch soldier on the shore with a telescope: Captain, the other party asked us to send a small boat over to negotiate, and our big ship was not allowed to approach.

"Yes, I see."

Wang Tiehammer turned his head to look at Hu Xijing, Zhao Shijie and the others.

"I'll go with Lao Zhao, I can speak Dutch," Liu Yun volunteered to raise his hand, and pulled Zhao Shijie, who had been silent.

"Well, just the two of you, you tell each other that we have no ill intentions, we are here to trade." Hu Xijing thought for a while and finally agreed to Liu Yun's suggestion.

"I'll go over with you to just take a look at the weapons used by the other party," Chen Wenqing said as he stood aside.

"Okay, that's it, the three of you are bringing a few security guards over, and if you find that the situation is wrong, you will shout a warning gun, and we will immediately go over to save people." Wang Tiezhu looked at the few people with a firm face.

When the rope lowered the assault boat and several people sat down, the assault boat was driven by a professional operator, and the assault boat rushed towards the port area of Batavia.

"Oh God, what kind of ship is that, how can he be so fast."

A Dutch soldier draws a cross on his chest and asks his companion.

When the assault boat docked, six security guards armed with rifles were the first to go ashore.

Liu Yun walked towards a man dressed in gorgeous clothes, and said to the other party in Dutch, We are from the Republic of Australia, thousands of miles away from here, because the mainland where we live has suffered a catastrophe in recent years, and we have to come out to trade, I hope you can let our ships dock.

"What you are talking about is really Dutch," Zhao Shijie asked Liu Yun with some disbelief.

"Of course, I'm a professional detective, and being multilingual is a must-have."

"Well, what did you say to the other party?"

"I said that we are from the Republic of Australia, and we came out to trade because of the disaster on the continent where we live, so it's okay to say that, isn't that a good reason?"

"The Republic of Australia, you are really nasty, so should I be called a colonel of the Australian Army when I introduce myself." Chen Wenqing asked with a rare smile.

"Of course, I have all figured out your identities, Hu Xijing, Minister of Foreign Trade of the Republic of Australia, Lao Zhao and I are both deputy ministers, as for Lao Wang, it is the rear admiral of the Australian Navy." Liu Yun's sincere face didn't seem like he was lying.

"Your Excellency, Distinguished Diplomat, I need to ask His Excellency the Governor to grant your request." Brian, the Dutch officer in charge of the port, greeted Liu Yun with the etiquette of a European country receiving diplomats. Because he didn't understand the meaning of the word foreign trade, he made it up to become a diplomat.

Oh, yes, then I would like to greet you, on behalf of His Excellency the Governor, a gift from my Government to Mr. Van Diemen. Liu Yun took out a palm-sized piece of beautiful mirror made of gold around the perimeter from the bag he was carrying, and handed it to Brian.

"This, mirror," Brian's eyes were completely attracted by the mirror, this is a face that costs tens of thousands, oh no, this face is actually edged with gold, at least fifty thousand taels of silver.

"Your Excellency, Distinguished Diplomat, please wait a moment and rest in the rest area of the port, and I will report to the Governor what you are doing."

After Brian left, Chen Wenqing looked at his back with disdain, isn't it just a mirror, even if it is valuable, there is no need to be so excited.

About ten minutes later, Brian returned to the dock again, this time with two four-wheeled carriages, and it seemed that Van Diemen had agreed to meet Liu Yun and the others.

After getting into the legendary four-wheeled carriage, which is quite smooth, the boys regretted it, this can call the carriage and horses, it is too bumpy, it is better to walk.

Antoni van Diemen was the third governor of Batavia, and during his tenure the city of Batavia was greatly expanded, not only with various Dutch buildings, but also with a more luxurious and solemn palace, a symbol of Dutch power in the city.

Brian took Liu Yun into Anthony Van Diemen's office, then withdrew, and ordered the servant to serve some tea and snacks to Zhao Shijie and others.

"Your Excellency the Governor, I don't know if you like the gift given to you by our Ministry of Foreign Trade." Liu Yun sat on the wooden sofa and asked with a smile.

I like your country's gifts, I don't know where your country is located and how long it will take to get to Batavia.

Apparently Anthony van Diemen was more interested in the location of the Australian Republic, which was not something that ordinary countries could build than the discovery of the New World.

Hehe, His Excellency the Governor is very interested in where our country is, our country is thousands of miles away, and it is impossible to reach it without giant ships, our ancestors came from the current Ming Dynasty, but it has been out for more than 100 years, and it is the same root as the current Ming Dynasty.

After listening to Liu Yun's explanation, Anthony Van Diemen finally figured it out, but he still didn't know where Australia was, it sounded like these Australians seemed to have something to do with the Ming people, but it didn't seem to be connected, every year there were Ming people from the Ming Dynasty who came to Batavia to make a living, and these people were obviously more confident than those people.

I wonder what your Government intends to sell in Batavia.

"No, that's it," Liu Yun took out another palm-sized mirror from his pocket: "Our government has shipped enough goods this time, and I believe that His Excellency the Governor has also seen our goods, which are much better than the mirrors of Fran Jiren." ”

"Mirrors," said Anthony van Diemen's head, for these Australians always came to sell mirrors, and there seemed to be a lot of them, and the craftsmanship of making them was quite high. My God, where the hell is Australia?
