After saying this, Rogers said to Governor Barak, "Governor Barak, what have you come to me to discuss?" ”

Lin Fei heard the voice of Governor Barak and said: "Judging from the situation of the first round of talks, Lin Fei will not give in, and today there are demonstrations of the people, Lin Fei is forced by the pressure of public opinion, and he will not give in, I want to understand the attitude of the British Empire." ”

Claros's voice rang out on the side: "Governor Barak, rest assured, it is not only your Spanish Empire's wish but also our British Empire's wish to punish the arrogant and impertinent Chinese Empire, so we will do everything we can to force the Chinese Empire to submit." ”

Governor Barak's tone was tinged with relief, and he said, "That's good, so I'll be relieved." ”

Lin Fei listened to the conversation of several people, was very surprised, and secretly thought in his heart, did the British really want to fight us to the end for the Spaniards?

Lin Fei was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard Rogers' long sigh, and then his voice sounded: "Governor Barak, although it is our wish to punish the Huaxia Empire, but their emperor Lin Fei is very tough, we are afraid that we will ......"

Governor Barak hurriedly said, "Do you British Empire want to compromise with the Chinese Empire?" ”

Rogers said helplessly: "This is also something that cannot be helped, our British Empire ......"

Governor Barak's voice was cold, and he said, "Mr. Rogers, don't you say this just to make our Spanish Empire give you more benefits?" ”

Lin Fei's heart suddenly moved when he heard Governor Barak's words, and secretly thought, no wonder the British helped the Spaniards like this, it turned out that the Spaniards promised the British benefits, which I should have thought of a long time ago...

At this time, I only heard Rogers's voice sound: "Governor Barak, since you said so, then I will be open and honest, yes, our British Empire does need greater interests, I can see that although the people of the Chinese Empire are of the same language and race as the Qing people, they are very different from the Qing people, and we cannot conquer them like the Qing people." ”

Governor Barak sighed and said, "Mr. Rogers, I have agreed to give you the right to build and operate the railroad and the right to lay the telegraph line on Luzon, what more do you want?" ”

Lin Fei was shocked when he heard this, in this era, the railway and the telegraph can be called the foundation of the normal operation of a society, whoever controls these two rights will control the whole society on the same way, throughout the history of colonial expansion in Western countries, a country in the entry into another country all start from the two major fields of railways and telegraphs, the Spaniards actually gave these two rights to the British, no wonder the British want to protect the Spaniards strongly.

Rogers smiled and said: "We will mainly rely on the army to fight against the Chinese Imperial Army, which will consume a lot of steel, chemical raw materials, and grain, and we will consume a lot of iron ore and non-ferrous metal ore; We need to spend money to buy grain, iron ore in India, Burma, it costs a lot of gold, and we all need to replenish these things. ”

Governor Barak smiled bitterly: "You want the right to mine the mineral deposits of the Philippines, right?" ”

One of the main purposes of Western countries to expand their colonies is to obtain cheap raw materials, so it is necessary to obtain the right to mine mineral deposits, Rogers sighed and said: "We have no way, fighting with Lin Fei and them, we need a lot of mineral resources." ”

Lin Fei listened to the words of Rogers and Governor Barak, and he thought in his heart, if the Spaniards ceded the right to mine the mineral deposits to the British, then the Philippines would become a colony of the British, I don't know if the Governor Barak would agree, at this time there was no sound on the phone, Lin Fei knew that the Governor Barak was considering, after all, it was a difficult decision to transfer the right to mine mineral deposits.

The room was silent for ten minutes, and Governor Barak's voice finally resounded: "I agree to sell the right to mine the mineral deposits in the Philippines. ”

Rogers' laughter rang out, and he said, "Okay, let's sign a secret pact now, okay?" ”

Governor Barak's tone was full of helplessness, and he said "Okay", and then no sound came from the room, and Lin Fei knew that they were secretly signing an agreement, so no one spoke.

After about ten minutes, Governor Barak's voice began again: "Mr. Rogers, Mr. Claros, the agreement has been signed, and if it is all right, I will take my leave." ”

Rogers and Claros said, "Walk slowly. Immediately after the sound of the door opening, Lin Fei put down the earpiece, turned his head and asked Hou Yunting, "Which earpiece is in Governor Barak's room?" ”

Hou Yunting stretched out his hand and pointed to a staff officer, Lin Fei got up and walked to the staff officer, the staff officer handed the microphone to Lin Fei, Lin Fei reached out and took the earpiece, put it to his ear, and after a while, he heard Governor Barak enter the room, and then began to chant: "Merciful Lord, please forgive your believers......"

Lin Fei knew that Governor Barak was confessing to God, so he casually returned the earpiece to the staff officer, then turned to Hou Yunting and said, "Do you know the hairpins used by girls? ”

Hou Yunting didn't understand why Lin Fei suddenly mentioned this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said, "You know, why did you mention it?" ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "You go buy a larger hairpin, and then install the receiver transmitter on the hairpin, so that we can put the receiver on our heads." ”

Hou Yunting sketched Lin Fei's idea in his mind, and quickly exclaimed: "This voice can be heard more clearly, what a clever idea... How come no one ever thought of it? ”

It turned out that what Lin Fei was talking about was the headphones of his time, although this kind of thing was not technically difficult, but it was not thought of until the thirties of the twentieth century. This kind of small thing with low technical content, Lin Fei naturally invented it casually.

Lin Fei arranged the matter of the headphones, waved his hand to call the chief of the general staff Li Ming, and said, "Did you hear the conversation between Rogers and Governor Barak just now?" ”

Li Ming nodded and said, "I heard that the reason why the British went all out to help the Spaniards was entirely because the Spaniards gave the British huge benefits. ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "Yes, that's true, if we want the British not to attack us, we must give them greater benefits." ”

Li Mingming's face instantly turned dead gray, and he exclaimed: "The Spaniards have already ceded the right to build railways, the right to lay telegraph lines, and the right to exploit mineral deposits to the British, if we give the British greater benefits, wouldn't we give them the entire Chinese Empire?" ”

Lin Fei smiled and said, "I have my own measure of this, you don't have to worry, you go and prepare something for me immediately......" Lin Fei whispered to Li Ming, Li Ming nodded again and again, and turned to leave.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Rogest and his party came to the outside of the conference room, and Lin Fei greeted him enthusiastically: "Mr. Rogers, did you sleep well last night?" ”

Rogers' face glowed red and he smiled, "Good, great." ”

Lin Fei smiled: "Today's meeting is not in the conference room, I will take you to a brand new place." ”

Rogers looked suspicious and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Lin Fei laughed loudly: "You'll know when you go, but I can only take you and Mr. Adriano and Mr. Claroz there, and the others please go back to the post house to rest." ”

Governor Barak stepped forward and said to Lin Fei, "Your Majesty, I am also a participant in the negotiations, won't you take me there?" ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "You don't need to participate in this meeting first, as for the content of the meeting, I will tell you in the future." ”

Governor Barak agreed gloomily and stepped aside, the suspicion on Rogers' face was even heavier, and he turned around and bit his ears with his subordinates for a while, and then turned back to Lin Fei and said, "Your Majesty, I promise you." ”

Lin Fei walked up to Rogers with a smile, stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance, made a "please" gesture, and said, "Please come with me." ”

After Lin Fei finished speaking, he walked in front, Rogers and others followed, and Lin Fei's staff officers followed at the end, when a short gust of sea breeze blew head-on, Rogers looked up, and found that everyone had come to the port, and there was a ship parked on the port dock, and there was a harpoon gun on the bow of this ship, which was the Pangu whaling ship.

Lin Fei stretched out his hand and pointed at the Pangu ship, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go up." ”

Rogers casually asked, "Is the Pangu our negotiation site?" ”

Lin Fei smiled mysteriously and said, "It's part of our negotiation location. After Lin Fei finished speaking, he rushed up to the gangway first, Rogers followed, Gao Longcheng greeted him on it, and soon everyone got on the boat and entered the rest cabin, Lin Fei gave Gao Longcheng the order to set sail, and Rogers asked again: "Where are we going?" ”

Lin Fei didn't hide it this time, and said with a smile: "Corregido Island." ”

Rogers wondered what was so special about Corregidor Island? Do negotiations still need to go there? I wanted to ask again, but I saw that Lin Fei had already walked out of the cabin with his subordinates, so I had to give up.

After a while, the Pangu ship docked at the dock of Corregido Island, Lin Fei took Rogers and the others off the ship and came to a command post, where there were several large tables, the tables were covered with maps and sand tables, and there were several people in military uniforms on the side of the tables, and they all stood up straight and saluted when they saw Lin Fei coming.

The most conspicuous thing in the room is the three large cabinets that are more than one person high, and there are thick wires connected to the outside behind the large cabinets. I've seen it on the Pangea. ”
