Ps: My wife is not feeling well these days, I want to accompany me to the hospital, it is a day to go, come back to catch up with the manuscript of 10,000 words, I really don't write well, I'm sorry parents, a thousand words are just a sigh......

Governor Thomas's old butler actually became the temporary commander only by a series of coincidences. If that petty officer had some responsibility, then he wouldn't let an old man call the shots.

Things in the world are so strange, and there are always countless coincidences that no one can control.

The city with the white flag, and the soldiers in ambush, everything looked perfect.

However, the end result was not ideal.

Chelsea ordered thirty-seven warships to line up and bombard the city indiscriminately.

Let the other party's plan to draw a good line of things suddenly go bankrupt.

Finally, Thomas's old butler came to the dock directly with a white flag, boarded a small fishing boat close to the fleet of the Song Empire, and met Chelsea.

Chelsea's reaction to the old man was average.

In fact, Chelsea did not want them to surrender, because once they surrendered, he would have no excuse to continue bombing.

After taking the letter from the old butler and reading it very carefully, Chelsea asked, "You are Governor Thomas's man, and what he means by this letter is that you should come and talk to us about the surrender of all the colonies?" ”

The old butler nodded and shook his head again.

"It's not a surrender, it's a conditional truce negotiated from above."

The old butler corrected with a serious expression.

Yes, add a few more words, remove a few words and the meaning will be completely different.

The butler, who had been a diplomat's butler since he was young, knew this all too well.

Chelsea pursed his lips disdainfully when he heard this: "Since it's not about surrender, then I'm not interested, come on!" Send him away! ”

The old butler was completely dumbfounded, he didn't expect to be in such a situation.

When people hear it, it's not a surrender. immediately turned his face and didn't give him a chance at all.

So, no matter how beautiful he thought, it was useless.

The situation is stronger than people.

After sighing secretly in his heart, the old butler immediately spoke: "I just said this for the sake of looking good, in fact, when we talk about it, it is all about surrender, but I still ask that at least when I say it, I can cover up my shame." ”

The old butler said his request very clearly, and matched his expression very well.

If it were an ordinary person, it is estimated that he would definitely be deceived.

But what kind of person is Chelsea?

He is a brainwashed European. It's not the same as the average young European.

Therefore, the performance of the old butler could not impress Chelsea at all.

"Put this set away, you're running out of chips. The military defeat makes it impossible for you to negotiate any terms with me, so you should lower your posture, or I won't talk to you. ”

It's very imposing, and doesn't give him a chance at all.

But Chelsea said a lot, the military defeat of the Dutch. The end of the colony was already doomed.

For the loser, in the words of the Empire, it is to chase after him, slap him twice, then kick him to the ground and step on ten thousand feet.

Saving face for the loser means that the enemy still has the power to resist. And it is a move that will only be made when the other party will make a big price to pay.

Because only in this way can you minimize your own losses.

It's not enough that the Song Empire has no worries about this at all, because the Dutch have no power to resist.

Warships of all colonies throughout the Caribbean. In total, there are only about sixty of them, and most of them are old and dilapidated warships.

In terms of numbers alone, it could not be compared to the huge warship cluster composed of the thirteen fleets of the Song Empire.

And the guns of those battleships of the Dutch. And the sailors were also inferior in melee weapons to the side of the Empire, so it can be said that the Dutch were no match for the Empire at sea.

As for the garrisons in the colony...... Chelsea don't have to worry about it.

Because of the arrival of the Song Empire, the people's hearts in the Dutch colonies have begun to be unstable, and some natives have begun to make trouble.

The mere suppression of these natives was already a huge problem for the Dutch colonial army, so they had the spirit to deal with themselves.

And he did not intend to land right away, but to bombard the city indiscriminately on the sea, fighting the Dutch with his own advantage.

This left the Dutch with nothing to do.

"If you want to talk to me, then surrender." , Chelsea said with an indifferent look at the old butler. "Thomas said let me guarantee his property in the colony, as well as his own interests. I think it's just a joke, who does he think he is? ”

Chelsea had no intention of accepting Thomas' offer at all.

In his opinion, it was not good for the Dutch to surrender.

Besides, if the Dutch did not surrender, they would still have an excuse to bombard the city as widely as possible, in order to kill the Dutch as much as possible and reduce their population in the colony.

Then the buildings in the city will be more or less destroyed, but what does it matter.

It's destroyed, and it's going to be built later.

What Thomas said in his heart was simple, he intended to join the Empire, but the Empire wanted to guarantee his interests and status...... I have to say that his plan is very good, but it is unrealistic.

First of all, there is nothing wrong with him being a governor.

But now there was only one colony he could directly control, and that was Cayenne.

Aside from this colony, there were no more colonial cities that Thomas was able to control.

So even if he was going to surrender, all he could represent was Cayenne, and he couldn't call the shots in other colonial cities.

The situation is so bad now, who else can listen to him.

And also to guarantee his status, what does this mean?

Could it be that after the empire took control of the Caribbean, he still wanted to be the governor of the Caribbean?

This is simply an international joke, very unrealistic.

Chelsea feel that Thomas is still unclear about the situation and is a little whimsical.

In the face of the guns of the mighty Imperial fleet, all illusions are unrealistic.

So, Chelsea's face became very impatient.

The old butler certainly saw Chelsea's impatience. At the same time, he was also very anxious in his own heart.

He knew that he did not have any negotiation capital in his hands, and the initiative was completely in the hands of the other party. What you value as a bargaining chip, the other party doesn't care at all.

This makes it difficult for him.

If you don't have the initiative, there is no way to talk.

The final result, as Chelsea said, was that there was no way that Thomas would have done any good, except that he could get preferential treatment in the prisoner of war camp by offering the city without resistance.

But if he does not agree to this condition, then there will not even be preferential treatment in the prisoner of war camp.

The look on Chelsea's face and the tone of his voice suggest he's not joking.

The old butler was really embarrassed.

"Go back and convey my words to you, Lord Governor, so that he will stop harboring unrealistic illusions. Actually, the things he called are in my opinion. None of that matters. ”

Chelsea have ordered the eviction and don't want to talk to him anymore.

Hearing this, the old butler hurriedly said loudly: "In this way, everywhere you go, you will encounter the sworn resistance of the people of the city, which will make you suffer senseless losses. ”

In fact, what the old butler said was right, after Thomas surrendered, he could at least play a leading role.

With his example, the other colonial administrators would not resist in the future.

So. Chelsea could easily occupy the Dutch colony and take over all the interests and rights there.

However, Chelsea smiled when he heard this, and said to the old butler who was set up by two genetic soldiers: "Actually, there have been Dutch people who have been in contact with me for a long time. They were all high-ranking officials in the colonies, and I say the same thing to everyone. Surrender unconditionally, I guarantee your lives, and then I will send you to Egypt. But I will never agree to any other conditions for you, with the powerful fleet of the Empire, everything here belongs to the Empire and not to you. ”

Speaking of the worst, Chelsea's face was grim. Becomes extremely harsh.

"If you're not convinced, you can continue to fight with us instead of fighting verbally."

Yes, Chelsea didn't bother to talk to each other.

In today's world, whoever has the biggest fist has the final say.

If the Dutch had been around, they wouldn't have come looking for them, would they?

Now the Dutch know that they can no longer fight the empire at sea, but they still fantasize about using the last bit of bargaining chips to make some profit for themselves.

How could Chelsea agree?

Thomas has a big estate and Chelsea already have some knowledge through the Spaniard.

Now that the Empire has come here and has a big upper hand.

In Chelsea's view, there is no need to give the Dutchman a good face.

It's a joke that these Dutchmen still want to keep their wealth and interests.

Truth be told, in the current situation, the future of these Dutch industries also belongs to the wealth of the empire. Chelsea can't possibly offer it as a condition because he has to think about the empire.

The property and wealth of these people, who have a large share in the Caribbean, is a very considerable amount of money.

Therefore, the victor has the right to deprive him of this wealth.

It's the right of the winners, isn't it.

And the loser still fantasizes about continuing to have this wealth, which is really whimsical.

Chelsea felt they had a problem with their brains.

The messenger of Governor Thomas in front of him now was one such representative.

"I will slaughter every city that resists, until there is not a single Dutchman left. I think the natives are willing to come to us to do this, don't they? ”

As the old butler was carried away from the captain's quarters, Chelsea shouted at him with a devilish smile.

This sentence made the old housekeeper's eyes widen and his body trembled. (To be continued.) )
