"Your Excellency Tang Shaoyi, your country is a colony that has robbed the Kingdom of the Netherlands." Special Olympics. Prime Minister Hemskelke said.

"How did the Dutch East Indies colony of the Kingdom of Holland come about? I'm afraid I don't need to remind Your Excellency the Prime Minister of this. Didn't all the countries that the Chinese had built at the beginning be destroyed by you? Especially Lan Fangguo, it didn't take long for him to be destroyed by you. Tang Shaoyi said coldly.

Special Olympics. Hemskelke was speechless. The Dutch East Indies colony of the Kingdom of the Netherlands was also encroached upon by them step by step. Many of the countries founded by the Chinese were destroyed under the pressure of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. If the Chinese Empire were to use this as an excuse, the Dutch would have no reason to refute it at all.

"Your Excellency Tang Shaoyi, those are all in the past." Special Olympics. Hemskelke said.

"Haha! Your Excellency Prime Minister, if we delay for a few more decades, this can also become a thing of the past. Tang Shaoyi said. The East Indies were now completely under the control of the Empire. If the empire does not agree to the peace talks and drags on for a long time, the Kingdom of the Netherlands will have nothing to do with the empire. Therefore, the Kingdom of the Netherlands wants to use this as an excuse to return to the East Indies, which is simply delusional.

There is no doubt that the Empire has taken the East Indies for itself, and it is impossible for the Kingdom of Holland to return it. If the Kingdom of the Netherlands continues to dwell on this issue, the negotiations will not have any effect.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, if the Kingdom of the Netherlands has not yet ascertained the situation, then I propose to adjourn the meeting for the time being. Wait until you understand the situation before you start negotiating. Tang Shaoyi was a little impatient.

Special Olympics. Prime Minister Hemskelke's face suddenly turned blue and white, and he was also the prime minister of a country. Tang Shaoyi said this, it was too bad to give him face. However, it is the Kingdom of the Netherlands that is now at the disadvantage. Special Olympics. Even if Prime Minister Hemskelke is unwilling in his heart, there is no other way.

"Your Excellency Tang Shaoyi, the Dutch East Indies Colony can be transferred to the Chinese Empire. However, the Chinese Empire can't just grab such a large number of colonies for nothing, right? The Chinese Empire must give us some compensation. The Dutch East Indies cover an area of 1.9 million square kilometers. In this way, it would be enough for the Chinese Empire to pay the Kingdom of the Netherlands a transfer fee of two hundred million pounds. "Special Olympics. Prime Minister Hemskelke said.

Obviously. He had given up the possibility of retaking the East Indies, so he wanted to make a lot of money in the colony. 200 million pounds is already a huge amount of money for the Kingdom of the Netherlands. With 200 million pounds, the Kingdom of the Netherlands may be able to gradually get out of its predicament. Even if the Dutch East Indies were lost, the impact on them would not be great.

Frankly speaking, buying the Dutch East Indies with 200 million pounds is actually not a loss. The territory of up to 1.9 million square kilometers is still a territory rich in resources and good climatic conditions. Converted. That's just over 100 pounds per square kilometer. Such a price can be regarded as the price of cabbage. It's a pity that the Chinese Empire has already occupied the entire East Indies, so how can there be any more talk of using money to buy it here? Besides, 200 million pounds is also a huge amount of money for the Chinese Empire. If it is used to build 'Zhonghua-class' battleships, dozens of them can be built, how can it be given to the Dutch for nothing?

After hearing about the conditions of the Dutch. Tang Shaoyi immediately laughed. Even Sir Anderson and Minister Hahausen, who acted as mediators, were helpless. The Dutch still don't seem to have figured out the situation. With the Chinese's unstoppable character. How could he be willing to give £200 million to the Dutch? These Dutchmen are simply daydreaming.

"Your Excellency, this is impossible. The Empire will not compensate the Kingdom of the Netherlands even a penny. Much of the land in the East Indies was originally a country founded by the Chinese. Now, the Empire is simply reclaiming these lands. As for the rest of the land, it will be used as compensation for the Chinese by the Dutch colonial authorities. Tang Shaoyi said.

"What? This, how is this possible? "Special Olympics. Prime Minister Heimskelke was furious. These Chinese. I want to take the whole of the East Indies without spending a penny! That's too much of a bully.

Special Olympics. Prime Minister Hemskelke had to look at Sir Anderson and Minister Hahausen, hoping that they would say a few words for the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Although, Te'o. Prime Minister Hemskelke knew that the £200 million price he was proposing was a bit high, but it was like doing business, asking for a lot of money. The Kingdom of the Netherlands put forward the price. But the Chinese Empire can also bargain? The two sides bargained step by step, and finally reached an agreement.

However, the Chinese Empire doesn't even want to pay back the price now! This is clearly not giving them a chance to bargain.

"Ahem. Your Excellency Prime Minister, the price of £200 million is too exaggerated. Please give me a new price, Your Excellency the Prime Minister. Sir Anderson said. Of course, if according to his point of view, the East Indies were sold for two hundred million pounds, which was completely cheap. If you desperately scrape the resources here, you will be able to earn back 200 million pounds in three or five years at most. However, when the Chinese have made it clear that they will not continue to expand, the British do not want to offend the Chinese Empire.

Special Olympics. Prime Minister Hemskelke nodded: "In this case, in order to show the sincerity of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, we can take another step. The Chinese Empire only needed to pay the Kingdom of the Netherlands a transfer fee of 150 million pounds. ”

After giving this price, Teo. Hemskelke looked at Tang Shaoyi nervously, not knowing what price Tang Shaoyi would return.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Prime Minister. The Chinese Empire is still not prepared to pay any transfer fees. If the Kingdom of the Netherlands were to transfer the East Indies to the Empire, it would be an unconditional transfer. Tang Shaoyi said.

Obviously, the empire is ready not to pay a penny.

Special Olympics. Prime Minister Hemskelke looked ashamed and angry, the Chinese are simply too deceitful!

"Your Excellency Foreign Minister, it is clear that the Chinese Empire has no sincerity in negotiating at all." Special Olympics. Prime Minister Hemskelke said angrily.

"It's not our fault, it's that the Kingdom of the Netherlands doesn't seem to have figured out the situation." Tang Shaoyi shook his head.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, why don't the Chinese Empire pay a symbolic reparation to the Kingdom of the Netherlands? In this case, the Prime Minister may have an account to give to the people of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Sir Anderson said.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary. A symbolic payment of a little compensation, say a million pounds, I think it's about the same. Minister Hahausen also said.

Hearing Minister Hahausen say that he would only pay a million pounds, Te'o. Prime Minister Hemskelke's face turned green all of a sudden.

"Well, we can pay a little compensation nominally. However, since it is symbolic, I think a pound will do. Tang Shaoyi said with a smile.

"A pound?" Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't expect Tang Shaoyi to be so ruthless and directly say the price.

"Yes, a pound." Tang Shaoyi nodded.

Special Olympics. Chancellor Hemskelke got up from his chair with a thud and left without looking back. He was very angry in his heart, believing that the Chinese had no sincerity in negotiating at all, and that all this was insulting the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Special Olympics. After Prime Minister Heimskelke left, the other members of the delegation of the Kingdom of the Netherlands also got up and left.

Seeing this, Tang Shaoyi didn't care at all. Anyway, the initiative was in the hands of the Chinese Empire. If the Dutch don't want to talk about it, it won't have any effect on the empire.

In view of the departure of the delegation of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the negotiations had to be adjourned temporarily. Tang Shaoyi and other members of the imperial delegation left the Governor's Palace of the Straits Settlements and returned to the consulate.

Minister Hahauson was about to leave, but Sir Anderson stopped him.

"Your Excellency, may we talk?" Sir Anderson asked.

Minister Hahausen hesitated, but finally nodded. At this moment, the relationship between Britain and Germany has become a fire and water. Almost anyone with a discerning eye can see that the war between the two countries seems to be about to break out.

"Your Excellency, in this negotiation, I believe that Your Excellency has also seen the performance of the Chinese. They are so aggressive now, I am afraid that it will not be a good thing for the entire Western world. Both the British Empire and the German Empire are members of the Western world, and we have an obligation to stop the expansion of the Chinese and defend the interests of the Western world. Sir Anderson said.

"Your Excellency the Governor-General, this has nothing to do with the German Empire. The German Empire, unlike the British Empire, had many overseas interests. God was not fair to the German Empire, which needed to fight for more living space for its citizens. Minister Hahausen shook his head.

Even if the Chinese Empire continued to expand, it would harm the interests of the British Empire, and the German Empire would have nothing to do with it. The German Empire even wished that the Chinese Empire would aim its expansion at the overseas colonies of the British Empire. In this way, it may be possible to effectively reduce the pressure on the German Empire when war breaks out. Under such circumstances, the German Empire would certainly not have stopped the expansion of the Chinese Empire.

"Your Excellency, by doing so, Germany is cultivating a great enemy for the Western world. One day, you will find out that you are very wrong. Sir Anderson said.

But Minister Hahausen was noncommittal, and the German Empire had already devoted all its energy to defeating the British Empire. (To be continued.) )
