"Plus! The range and rate of fire of the rifles of the Xinhua Army are also much faster than the rifles we use! When they attack, they line up in a sparse formation, which can effectively reduce casualties! But their firepower is not weaker than ours at all! Combining these factors, we were not unjustly defeated in this battle, and we and the Xinhua Army were not even opponents of the same level! Lieutenant General Callisto said with some frustration. Even though the Kingdom of Spain has been in decline for the past two hundred years. However, after all, they became the overlords of the world. In addition, the eastern direction, which is called the desert of science, Lieutenant General Callisto and others looked down on the Chinese and the country established by the Chinese even more. Although the Xinhua Kingdom had taken Luzon from them, it also did not make them officially the New China Kingdom. In the face of the Chinese and the new Chinese country, the Kingdom of Spain is undoubtedly proud, whether it is population, finance, or scientific and technological strength, the Kingdom of Spain is far stronger than the Xinhua Kingdom. In the battle of Pontianak, the Xinhua Army used the cruel reality to crush the pride of the Spaniards!

"So, is it difficult for us to defeat the Xinhua Army?" Dutch Indonesian Governor Jacques. Dominic said.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor! We want to defeat the Xinhua Army, there is no possibility! Lieutenant General Callisto replied in the most affirmative terms.

"So what should we do? Those yellow-skinned monkeys will never let us go! Damn, we wouldn't have provoked them if we had known the way! "Jacques. The Governor of Dominica said with some panic. Now he regrets it a little, but. It's obviously too late.

"Your Excellency the Governor, even if we don't provoke Xinhuaguo, they won't let us go!" Lieutenant General de Boer said.

Jacques. The Governor of Dominica nodded. The Dutch-Indonesian colonial authorities have long been at war, and even if they do not unite with the Spanish Expeditionary Force this time, the Xinhua Army will definitely take action against them after the Spanish Expeditionary Force is eliminated. Sooner or later, the Dutch-Indonesian colonial authorities will be destroyed by the Xinhua Kingdom. Such a result makes Jacques. The Governor of Dominica is a little difficult to accept!

"So guys, what do we do now? Do you keep fighting, or do you want to find another way? "Anthony Anthony, Governor of Luzon, Spain. Pedro said. There is no doubt that their confidence has now been shattered by today's battle. If you keep fighting. They all know very well that they won't have the slightest chance of winning!

"I suggest that we negotiate with the Xinhua Army! If only they could promise to let us go when the war is over. We can hand over weapons to them! Lieutenant General de Boer said. Although he had never personally faced the army of the New China Kingdom, from the embarrassed appearance of Lieutenant General Callistto today, he knew that once the two sides fought. He will be defeated. In such a situation. Suing for peace with the Xinhua Army has undoubtedly become the best choice. Of course, the premise is that the Xinhua Army will agree to their conditions!

Anthony. Governor Pedro nodded, and then said, "I also agree to sue for peace with the Xinhua Army!" However, the Xinhua Army is now about to win, and we are no match for them, will they agree to our request for peace? ”

"We still have 40,000 troops! Even if it's not their opponent, if we use the city of East Manlaw. If you fight with them in the streets, their losses will not be small! If the commander of the new Chinese army cherishes the lives of his soldiers. They will agree to our terms! Lieutenant General de Boer said. He presided over the fortifications of Dongwanlu. Although there was not enough time, only some barricades were built in the East Wanlu City, but the houses in the East Wanlu City were undoubtedly their best defensive positions. It's just that the Chinese living in East Wanlu have either been killed by the Jose coalition army or have fled, and they have lost the opportunity to use these Chinese as human shields. If the Xinhua Army does not agree to their conditions, they will most likely be killed by the Xinhua Army!

"If that's the case, we might be able to put forward more conditions to the Xinhua Army! For example, the Dutch-Indonesian colonial authorities need to keep the islands of Java and Sumatra, and Borneo can be given to Xinhua! "Jacques. The Governor of Dominica took the opportunity to say. Until now, he has not given up his hope of keeping Dutch Indonesia.

Seeing such sobriety, Lieutenant General de Boer shook his head helplessly. Obviously, he also knew that it was absolutely impossible for the Xinhua Army to agree to such conditions. As long as the Jose coalition forces are annihilated, the Xinhua army can easily capture the islands of Java and Sumatra. Although the Dutch Army also deployed almost 8,000 troops on the two islands. However, these troops are clearly no match for the Xinhua Army!

"This can be a condition of negotiations! Of course, if the new Chinese army does not agree, we can also use this as a concession for us! Our bottom line is to let us go. As long as the Xinhua Army can agree to this one condition in the end, then we can surrender to them! "Anthony. Governor Pedro said. The so-called sky-high asking price to repay the money is also applicable to negotiations. If the Jose-Western coalition had proposed from the beginning that the Xinhua Army would have agreed to surrender as long as they guaranteed their safety and promised to let them go at the end of the war, the Xinhua Army would definitely have gained an inch!

"I agree!" Lieutenant General Callisto directly agreed. After this battle, he no longer wanted to continue fighting with the Xinhua Army, and his glory and confidence had been destroyed by the Xinhua Army!

"I agree!" Lieutenant General de Boer and Jacques. The Governor of Dominica also said. They all think that peace talks with the Xinhua Army are their last way out! If the Xinhua Army were faced with such a situation, the commander of the Xinhua Army would definitely choose to stick to it and wait for help. If reinforcements don't arrive in time, they will definitely choose to fight to the death. This is probably the cultural surprise between the East and the West! Since the Renaissance, Westerners have paid more attention to human rights, and the same is true for soldiers. In the face of failure, they will make saving their lives their first priority!

"So, who do we send to negotiate with the Xinhua Army? It is best for us to reach an agreement with the Xinhua army before they arrive in Dongwanlu. If we wait until they arrive at Dongwanlu before negotiating, it will be very difficult! "Anthony. Governor Pedro said.

"Anthony. Your Excellency Pedro, you have been in contact with the Xinhua Army, and you may know the commander of the Xinhua Army this time. Otherwise, it's up to you to negotiate with the Xinhua Army! "Jacques. said the Governor of Dominica. When the Xinhua Army captured Manila, Anthony . Governor Pedro and the high-ranking officials of the Governor's Office were all prisoners of war of the Xinhua Army, which was well known throughout Nanyang. Anthony. Governor Pedro has also become the laughing stock of the Western world, and he can be regarded as the first governor of the Western world to be captured!

Anthony. Governor Pedro's face was a little ugly, and Jacques. Governor Dominica, this is all rubbing salt in his wounds! was captured by the Xinhua Army at the beginning, and was regarded by him as a great shame. Although he was lucky enough to escape with his life, his property has shrunk significantly, which makes him feel painful. After returning to Manila, he almost lost his family wealth to save his life. Jacques. The fact that the Governor of Dominica dared to laugh at him made him very dissatisfied. If it weren't for the fact that everyone was in the same boat now, he would have turned his face a long time ago!

"Jacques. Your Excellency Dominica, as a negotiator, it is not impossible! However, I don't know much about the situation of the colonial authorities in Dutch Indonesia! If, during the negotiations, the Xinhua Army put forward some conditions for the Dutch Indonesian colonial authorities, and I agreed without knowing it, it would be a huge loss for the Dutch Indonesian colonial authorities! Therefore, I think it is better for you to negotiate with the Xinhua Army this time! "Anthony. Governor Pedro said.

There is no doubt that going to the Xinhua Army for negotiations is no less than the Longtan Tiger's Den for them. In their eyes, the Xinhua Army is not much better than the uncivilized natives, if they say something wrong or do something, they will be directly killed by those who don't understand etiquette, it will be a big loss! So both Anthony . Governor Pedro or Jacques. The Governor of Dominica is not willing to go deep into the tiger's den!

It's just that if there is no one to negotiate, it is obviously impossible. By the time the Xinhua army approached the city, they were dead. Lieutenant General Callisto and Lieutenant General de Boer are military generals, and they are not good at negotiating. In addition, they are also responsible for the defense of Dong Wanlu and prepare for the breakdown of negotiations. Therefore, the two of them obviously could not go. The only one who can go is Anthony. Governor Pedro and Jacques. One of the Governors of Dominica, or two of them!

"Ahem! Or, the two Governors, go together! In this way, the interests of both of us can be fully protected! I think there is an essential difference between the Xinhua Army and the natives, they are also a civilized race, and they will not be disadvantageous to the negotiators! Lieutenant General de Boer said.

Suddenly, Anthony. Governor Pedro and Jacques. The Governor of Dominica's face was a little unpleasant.

"I agree with General de Boer's proposal, if the two governors go to negotiate with the Xinhua Army together, the possibility of success in the negotiations will definitely increase a lot!" Lieutenant General Callisto also said.

Despite great reluctance, both generals of the military took a stand, and Anthony . Governor Pedro and Jacques. The Governor of Dominica had to pinch his nose and admit it, they only hoped that nothing would go wrong in the negotiations, and it was better to succeed in the negotiations!

Early in the morning of July 13th, the Spanish Governor of Luzon, Anthony Murphy. Pedro and the Governor of Indonesia, Jacques. Dominica, under the protection of hundreds of guards, rushed to Pontianak! (To be continued......)
