The European Consulate General negotiated the issue of colonies in the Malay Peninsula, and Cromwell promised to formally hand over the land to the Australians by the end of this year.

This is undoubtedly a big victory for a radical group of overseas expansion, this victory was achieved through negotiation and exchange of interests, and not through the use of force by the military, which is definitely a propaganda highlight politically, but it is also a highlight that Australia has paid a considerable part of the material price.

This part of the material can be said to be free aid at the current stage, but as long as the land is received, the Australian government can collect the corresponding tax burden from here to fill it, and Australia still occupies a certain advantage in the long run.

European affairs are directly related to the future world pattern for Australia, if this time is not laid out in advance, the future of these great powers may rise from the new, Australia can only do is to suppress when they do not rise, so that the other side rises later.

Therefore, this arms sale is actually the meaning of extending the Thirty Years' War, and if it can be successfully extended, it will have a huge impact on Australia's position in the future world pattern.

Judging by the current situation, this extension has been basically achieved, and although the European countries have realized that there is no good result in continuing the war, they will still have skirmishes in the short term, at least not more than tens of thousands of people.

As long as there is a small conflict, the economic development will be affected, for the Australian government at this time the European affairs can basically be said to have come to an end, the next thing to look at the East, with the Manchu Qing and the Southern Ming regime across the river to form a state of confrontation, they at this time can no longer take into account the existence of Dayuan Island and the Penghu Islands.

It is completely under the control of the Australians, and there are troops stationed there.

Although the administrative level of Dayuan Island is only a deputy governor, everyone knows that as long as he does a good job, he will become a governor at the ministerial level. And another important feature is that it is a place where conservatives are focused.

Since the defeat of the conservatives in the general election, the overall faction has kept a relatively low profile, single-mindedly developing in their own positions, and has developed rare support for some of the development plans put forward by the radicals.

This made Huang Fu a little surprised, the other party actually explained the problem like this, but no matter what happened at the moment. Some people have already begun to be interested in the geographical location of Dayuan Island, which is close to the mainland, has a natural port and is a good base for development.

What's more, someone put forward the development plan of the first island chain, this bloody proposal, to blockade Daming, do they have persecution paranoia or do they think that Daming may develop into an opponent in the future.

However, this possibility is very high, and Da Ming does have the possibility of developing into an opponent. And they have this potential, and the potential is not just that, and the wisdom of the people in this magical land can never be underestimated.

Although the first island chain plan seems to be a bit bloody, for a large country, it is absolutely not wrong to block the possible effect of rising within its own island chain, and it is also in the interests of a large country.

Therefore, this proposal was approved by the Diet, and even directly participated in the discussion, and the sense of belonging to Oyuan Island was discussed for the first time.

Dayuan Island should be under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty from a reasonable point of view. However, the Ming Dynasty did not attach so much importance to this place, and now the main development direction is the Central Plains Dynasty on land. They haven't fully looked like this, so to a large extent, they don't pay attention to it.

Since Australia does not pay attention to it, why should it be returned, it is better to be owned by Australia and become an overseas province.

As soon as this proposal came out, many people immediately opposed it, which was an act of separatism of the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Absolutely unacceptable.

But the other party is also reasonable, saying that this is not the 21st century, and everyone doesn't need to think about it so much, so a discussion around the annexation of the big man began.

The geographical location of Dayuan Island is special, and everyone knows this. It is also home to a large number of Dutch people.

If it is annexed, how should Australia respond to the sovereignty claim of the Ming Dynasty in the future, does it want the two sides to fight a war, and two countries with the same blood will fight, what a sin this is.

So many people can't accept that this is irresponsible to future children and grandchildren, pushing them to war.

But there is also a possibility, that is, the Ming Dynasty will not make a claim for sovereignty, the Ming Dynasty at that time may not be so strong, in addition to decades and hundreds of years of education, the people on this Dayuan Island will definitely be inclined to Australia.

However, this is only a tendency, and cannot be a basis, although there are many reasons for the opposition, but their number is still too small, and most people can be said to support the direct division of Dayuan Island as Australian territory.

A place that invests manpower and material resources to develop, and finally gives it up to no one is willing to give it up, especially Huang Fu and others represented by the capitalist class, how can they do such a great thing, if you want to say that Zhou Aiguo had this possibility when he was in power, others will believe it.

The result of the discussion was that the majority prevailed over the minority, but at the same time, a special bill was left, which was to give Dayuan Island a referendum opportunity, if the people on the island wanted to join the Ming Dynasty in the future, the Australian government could not interfere, which was also a relative compromise.

If there is no compromise, it will be impossible for the negotiations between the two sides to continue like this, and the final result will be that it will be delayed indefinitely.

This discussion can be regarded as defining the status of Dayuan Island, officially becoming an overseas province of Australia, and receiving the same protection and status as Christmas Island City.

To a certain extent, it can be said that it has been upgraded to the rank of Ministerial Overseas Governor, and the Governor should be formally appointed soon.

With the change of status, the investment climate will also become a major attraction, and the advantage over Hong Kong is that it is suitable for light industrial processing, because the island can provide raw materials for cultivation, and in addition to these, it can also set up some finished canneries and some primary factories here to reduce costs.

The capitalists are very happy to do such things as reducing costs, and this is a means of maximizing profits, thus creating a certain pressure on competitors.

With this designation, it is also a good thing for conservatives, who can better take this place as a key development direction and become a characteristic propaganda in the future, so conservatives rarely support this proposal. (To be continued.) )
