Early the next morning, Xu Zhonglin, who had not slept all night, stared at the dark circles under his eyes and came to Qiao Wuye's residence. The fifth master was enjoying morning tea, and when he saw him like this, he glanced at him with a smile: "You should also pay attention to moderation when you are young." ”

it! The female driver was racing early in the morning.

Without explaining anything, he walked into the conference room silently behind Qiao Wuye, and after a while, it was full of people, Dingyuan, Haiqi, Bismarck, Count Spee, Hood, Qiao Wuye, Richelieu, Foch, Rome, Garibaldi, Missouri, Washington, and other Gangut, Kilkis, United Forces, etc., everyone was a famous ship on the side of the once famous town, and a certain admiral was in the corner of the place to be a dog.

Bishop Li seemed to be full of confidence today: "Well, since everyone is sitting here, it means that there is a sincere talk, so let's be open and honest, Sister Rome, what is your offer." ”

Rome stood up: "Our strategic objective is to occupy the land from Aden to Sana'a in the south, and to advance from Mecca to the east in the north, and we need Britain and France to send a fleet each to help us block the threat from the direction of the Indian Ocean......"

Bishop Li stood up: "This is impossible, France only has two fleets in total, and it is impossible for us to take such a big risk. ”

The negotiations were at an impasse from the very beginning, and Xu Zhonglin was thinking that the threat from the Indian Ocean was undoubtedly the greatest, and Britain and France would certainly not agree to this, and the two countries did not even want Italy to control Aden, which was an important passage to the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean, and was now controlled by the French.

Rome, as if knowing that the two countries were unlikely to agree, stated its own limits: "Aden must give us, as must Mecca and Jeddah, and this is the basis for negotiations." ”

Both Aden and Jeddah were ports and governors, with Jeddah currently belonging to the British, as well as Mecca. These three places are the best places on the Red Sea coast, and taking Aden can block the threat of the deep-sea fleet in the Indian Ocean, so as to concentrate on expanding eastward from Mecca, and with the Jeddah town as a logistics base, if you concentrate on attacking, you should be able to expand a lot of land. In this way, the British pay more.

The two countries also seem to know that it is cost-effective to exchange one Algerian coast for these two places, after all, Algeria belongs to the Mediterranean coast, and it is easy to mobilize personnel and materials here. So after thinking about it, I agreed.

Rome went on to say: "All the fleets of the two countries in the Red Sea, in the Gulf of Aden, must be under our command!" The supply of supplies is still borne by each of your two countries. ”

Although Britain and France did not have a large fleet along this route, they also deployed a considerable number of forces, of which the British Mediterranean Fleet was mostly stationed in Port Said and Cyprus, but almost a third on the Red Sea side. France is much less, about half that of the UK. Combined, the two are equivalent to half a large fleet. For Italy, this is equivalent to a surge in naval strength by more than half!

Hood thought for a moment, nodded, and asked a question: "Deadline!" ”

Rome stretched out a slap: "Five years." ”

it! Richelieu and Hood want to slap her, are you crazy? Do you know how much people and materials must be consumed in five years?

Rome insisted: Of course we are not crazy, five years, for another Algeria, you have earned.

Richelieu and Hood went back again: You are just a slip off the coast of Algeria, and the gold-inlaid ones are not worth the price, three years, no more.

Rome: Three years is fine, but you have to compensate for the supplies.

So, the two sides compensated for how much supplies were inked for an hour, and Qiao Wuye sat there quietly without speaking, and drank three cups of tea. What's more, the three bigwigs in the negotiation almost rolled up their sleeves and had a real PK.

In the end, the issue was put on hold and Roma leaned back in his chair, not all of which were achieved, but much easier below. It's time to throw a bone and watch each other perform.

Richelieu took the lead in standing up and said: France is a responsible big country and is willing to take on more international affairs, so France is willing to subsidize all the materials and negotiate with Italy alone.

It's not Sister Li Amway, who eats too much and is brainless. It's that the British paid more for the previous two conditions, and at this time it must be balanced, otherwise most of Algeria will be returned to the British, and France will sit on wax.

Hood smiled and was very captivating: Okay, you are all out, so that the west of Algiers belongs to you, just connected with Morocco, and the east belongs to us, the area of the two families is about the same size, and no one will suffer if they are divided equally.

it! Little, your math teacher cheated and went to jail, right? To the west of Algiers is all mountainous areas, and it seems that the two families are equally divided, but to the east are all plains. By the time the French army camped in the mountains, perhaps the army of the old rascals had already been pushed out.

So Sister Li also smiled: We are all out of the question, the east of Algiers belongs to us, and the west belongs to you, and your people wear skirts, which are more suitable for climbing, so that they will not open their crotch.

Premium Black! It took another hour to talk about it, but I couldn't get it done.

At this time, the united forces of Austria-Hungary stood up: we are also a responsible great power and are willing to contribute, or we will send out our fleet and people.

Rome clapped his hands: Good neighbor, okay, whoever gives more money to Algeria will go to whomever it is, auction it now.

Richelieu and Hood looked at Bismarck at the same time: Take care of your dog, otherwise the old lady will turn her face!

Bismarck was not afraid: come! Hurt each other!

Dingyuan smiled next to him and said: Austria-Hungary really deserves to be a big country with an international reputation and status, and the courage to take responsibility is very commendable.

This sentence seems to add fuel to the fire,! When the time came for the group split, Hood glared at Gangut twice, and found that the other party seemed to be asleep, and he coughed unconsciously: Sleep, you are paralyzed, hey!

Gangu got up and slapped the table: Money! We are poor and can't get out much, but we are willing to send a fleet out of the Black Sea to help you fight, so let go of the Turkish Straits and let's have fun together.

This time, everyone glared at the Turkish representative who didn't even have a role in Xu Zhonglin: Hehe, do you think he dares?

Missouri finally stood up: The auction is good, we are poor and have money left, France doesn't cry, stand up and! Sisters, support you! Our full loan is also interest-free.

In this way, you sang and I appeared, and a certain little admiral nested aside, his hungry chest was pressed against his back, and he secretly drank a cup of Qiao Wuye's tea. I finally waited until mid-afternoon, and the final result was finally in.

The French, who had the big deal in charge, ended up paying a large loan that made Richelieu vomit blood, and Rome could wake up with a smile in his dreams, and then the two sides took Bejaya, east of Algiers, as the dividing line, with the British taking one-third of the east and the French getting all that was left to the west. Together, the two companies carved up the occupied territory of Italian Algeria, which was equivalent to most of Morocco.

The main dishes of the bigwigs are finished.
