With a different idea, Harry signed a partnership with Xiao Baitu to sell the lease of the land to the west of the Flying Fish Shipyard to Harry, and Harry was responsible for building a large fresh fruit and vegetable market, and a large restaurant would be built here to provide a place for future workers and merchants to eat.

The main purpose of Harry's trip is to find opportunities for cooperation, to invest in Christmas Island to get on a line with Australians, through this basic cooperation, and then to carry out deeper and more cooperation, the most important thing is that it is close to shipbuilding, and can get a lot of useful things.

With the arrival of the English, the Portuguese naturally did not fall behind, and the French also came, one after another, and did not leave in a hurry after coming, and when they knew that the British had invested in a new market on the island, they also began to investigate the island.

To Xiao Baitu's surprise, these people actually found their own investment direction after walking around the island.

Happiness should not come too early, it is difficult to accept. Xiao Baitu has already blossomed, and Harry is really his lucky star.

He really wanted to use that classic phrase to tell the other party, but it seemed a little inappropriate to use it here.

Since someone invests, Xiao Baitu will naturally not stop it, after the two parties sign the letter of intent, after signing a formal contract, it will be considered a formal investment.

But then something even more unexpected happened to Xiao Baitu, and a telegram was sent to him in China asking him to try his best to establish a good cooperative relationship with these people, and the two sides could carry out a deeper cooperation.

It probably means that he should try to maintain a good relationship with the other party, and soon the country will send someone to talk to them.

As for the content, you don't need to think much about it, isn't the purpose of their coming here to participate in the steamship cooperation project, and the people in the country have decided after some deliberation that the existing policy of mutual containment is not enough, and it is necessary to disrupt the current situation, so that the whole of Europe that may rise in the future will participate in it.

So they decided to make another big move. The cooperative project of the 1640 rifle and the production of the 26-pounder cannon, these two weapons of mass destruction are the main weapons on the European battlefield today, and if he can obtain his cooperative production and sales rights, he has no intention of being the same as the steamer.

When Xiao Baitu heard the news, he was dumbfounded, are these people crazy, the export of steamships is just that, and now even weapons have to be taken out to cooperate, do you really want the general of the Virgin Mary to give Europe a scientific and technological strength, so that he can chase head-on.

Arms exports are already very good. Is it still necessary to come up with cooperation, so that the ultimate benefit may be the European countries that cooperate, although this can cause them to a certain degree of mutual containment, but in the end both sides will have an opportunity for the development of the field of technology.

This opportunity is equivalent to Australia's gift, and what if they exchange each other's technology, which is a very tricky thing for Australia.

Xiao Baitu really doesn't know what those people think, for the so-called mutual containment, is it really good to flow out the technology that is hundreds of years ahead of it like this. I'm afraid that only Baozitu in the country is against it, and now those people in the military are not as conservative as they were back then, and in order to increase military spending, they will actually agree to the export of 26-pound guns.

In private, the relationship between Xiao Baitu and Baozitu is good, although there is a gap in age. But because of the picture in the name, the two naturally got a little closer.

Lao Bao is also a staunch supporter of Xiao Baitu in private, and he said that if Xiao Baitu can become president one day in the future, he must control the outflow of technology more strictly, and must not push it out like these losers who don't want money.

The so-called mutual containment plan was to give Britain the right to cooperate in the production of the 26-pounder gun. France was given the right to produce in 1640, and the bells were not used for them in the same way.

France's main hegemony was on the mainland, and guns were naturally used in more places than in England. In the future, the main focus of the British will be on the sea, and the 26-pounder gun is the most suitable cannon to be loaded on a ship.

The export of these two technologies will bring earth-shaking changes to these two countries, at least the French will not be afraid of the number of weapons of the other side when facing the Spaniards, they can directly manufacture and export, and the Spaniards will also have some scruples, so as to form a restrain that no one dares to attack the other side privately.

As for the British, although they did not have steamships, they could buy 26-pounder cannons from the steamship armers from the Spaniards, and a battle with the Dutch at sea was indispensable.

This kind of mutually contained cooperation is simply an alliance of natural allies, which will inevitably lead to a change in the existing alliance system, and those who used to stand on the same side may become enemies, and former enemies may become current allies. It's a very comedic thing, but if it does, they have a plan.

The arrival of the domestic government commissioner is nothing more than to talk about the cooperation between the two weapons, and even in order to show the sincerity of its cooperation, Australia actually agreed to put the production enterprise in the country's territory.

I can't imagine what these people can't do, Xiao Baitu is a little crazy, if his political status is high enough and he has his own voice in the Congress, he will definitely not agree to such a thing happening.

Whether he wanted to or not, the commissioner from the mainland was already on his way, and according to the contents of the telegram, he had already given him a reply, so that he could arrange the reception, and he could reveal a little news to the other party in advance.

In order to let the other party know that there is a new cooperation project in Australia, Xiao Baitu called Harry to his official residence and poured a glass of water for the other party very enthusiastically.

"Mr. Harry, our cooperation has been very successful, and I have important news here to tell you, my country's hunger 6-pound artillery technology is ready for export, I don't know if your country is interested, as for the export cooperation, the way of cooperation is similar to that of steamships."

Xiao Bai Tupi waited for the other party's answer with a smile, but he didn't expect that the other party had not come back from this news, the cooperative production of weapons, although the steamship project is very good, but the Australians currently do not have this cooperation proposal, so it is better to focus on weapons.

And the most important thing is that the other party has this idea, which means that this cooperation project is allowed by the Australian government, and he must report it to the country immediately, no, he should agree to it, but there are still French and Portuguese on the island at the moment, and they are likely to get it in front of themselves, so they must agree.

Harry nodded firmly, and then said what he was more than willing to say. (To be continued......)
