Chapter 377: Lifting Each Other?
"Haha, thank you so much, Your Highness the Grand Duke, thank you very much. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"I thank you so much, two hundred thousand thalers, that's a lot of money."
"Your stuff is better, Grand Duke."
"Where, where."
A good business is like that, and when it's done, both parties are in a good mood.
But it's just two sides, and there's no such thing as a business where everyone is happy.
The Portuguese representative looked around and saw that Juana was no longer there, so he came up to greet little Bazin.
"Oh, General Bazin, this time I conceded, it's okay, Portugal and Spain are brother countries, do you support each other, haha."
"Hehe, lift each other, yes, yes."
This kind of entertainment work, little Bazin is not undone, the Spaniards everywhere to collect supplies, of course, there are such things.
It was a very tiresome job, and Bazin always thought that escorting merchant fleets and sweeping away the enemy was what he loved.
In the eyes of the expropriated people, Xiao Bazin has an extremely bad attitude, and he eats and takes and says cruel things.
But little Bazin was also annoyed, and he did not want to hear a word of hypocrisy, for all he wanted was supplies and sailors, and the figures he proposed were precisely calculated, and by no means unpurposeful, or extremely excessive.
It's all the Italians who handle it, and they have to take a bite themselves, which will lead to a shortage of supplies and delays.
He didn't want to deal with these weak Italians, his own soldiers couldn't be trained, and the ships didn't have time to be maintained.
He had always thought he hated it.
It wasn't until today that little Bazin realized that he also enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by Italians, and that was how he was rewarded for defeating his enemies, so that potential enemies not only did not dare to resist, but also contributed money and effort to avoid being hit by him.
Especially the kind of helplessness, although I hate him so much, I can only hand over what he wants, and even lead the way for him, and let him go to other Italians to collect supplies.
And today, although the people surrounding him are still saying kind words, they are not helpless, and he is helpless.
Although he tried to cope today, he knew that he must not have coped well.
It's a terrible feeling.
"The Empire of Light is so stubborn and conservative, in fact, I don't even know if I can let them open a port, maybe they take this big stamp, and finally ignore us, this thing is not easy to do."
"Even if we open a port, maybe the local gentry will make trouble, these people want to make money for themselves, they don't want to pay taxes to the country, the smuggling trade is the best for them, and there will be many difficulties in the future."
"However, it's still the same sentence, if everything goes well, everyone must have money to earn together, our Portuguese capital is limited, and there are so many silks and porcelains in the Bright Empire, where can we buy them all, and everyone will get rich together?"
These words of the Portuguese are really harsh to little Bazin, and these words have always been said by the Spaniards to their little friends.
What things are difficult to do, what are still difficult, and what is to get rich together are all true nonsense.
"Silk finished products and returned to Portugal, Spain got tea and raw silk, is this the official attitude of the Kingdom of Portugal?" Wu Xin actually knows that these are lies, but Spain is strong, and he feels that things can still be neutralized, "If this can be demarcated, I believe that the work of opening the port can be supported by Spain, which is a win-win situation." ”
"Uh............." The Portuguese representative immediately stuck, he did not mention tea and raw silk, just because silk and porcelain were better, not to say that he didn't want this business, who could monopolize it.
"The weight of raw silk is so large, and the tea is not conducive to preservation, so it is completely okay to hand over this kind of strength to Spain." Wu Xin sincerely hopes that a compromise can be reached, "Just in the business of finished silk products and porcelain, Portugal invests millions of thalers every year, and it can't be eaten at all. ”
"This matter can be discussed, and it can be discussed in the long run." This representative of Portugal was a marquis, who could be regarded as a powerful person, but he did not dare to agree to this matter easily.
If Spain buys the heirloom jade seal, then it can naturally eat it all, and Portugal can compete but it is very dangerous to eat alone.
"I believe that constructive results can be achieved." Little Bazin also saw that Wu Xin was helping, after all, Spain's strength was here, let Portugal cut a piece of meat, and then everyone compromise with each other, this seems to be a way out, "But this matter really can't be delayed, from Lisbon to Nanjing, thousands of miles by sea, if you don't make full preparations, it's really dangerous, and even the Black Continent itself has all kinds of dangerous coveting." ”
Of course, the threat of force is still necessary, and the struggle is for unity.
The final compromise will inevitably be determined after consultations between the prime ministers of the two countries, but the matter of exerting pressure must begin now.
"Hehe, you robbers, that's the kind of virtue." The Count of Cherbourg, who cordially said to the Portuguese delegates: "Rest assured, the Kingdom of France will support the Kingdom of Portugal." ”
"................" Bazin did not speak, but stared intently at the Count of Cherbourg.
If it weren't for the Count of Cherbourg, he would have made the Portuguese kneel down and repent of his delusions.
This is also the epitome of grand strategy, if it were not for the existence of a powerful France, Portugal would not have been impossible to exist, but would have become a province of Spain.
"Look at it, do you want to kill me, and then squeeze the feathers out again, come on, come and cut me, robber." The Earl of Cherbourg was originally a man of courageous temperament, but now that he has a miraculous skill, he has no scruples, "Jump higher, don't let me down." ”
"Count Cherbourg, you think too much, in this port city of Tripoli, you are all my guests, and everyone's lives and property are absolutely guaranteed." Wu Xin stood up to prevent him from continuing to provoke and reconcile with Portugal, which was his established strategy.
"I'm completely relieved." The Portuguese representative was not very reassured, but he always said, "This port of Tripoli is very promising, and I will tell my own businessmen what I have seen with my own eyes, and we Portuguese businessmen will often come here to do business in the future." ”
"Hehe, I'm afraid the Spaniards won't agree." The Earl of Cherbourg will not give up, "Hey, where is the queen, did she find a few strong men to relieve the heartache of buying nothing, hey, General Bazin, you are not going?" This is a good opportunity for you to make meritorious service and atone for your sins..............."
At this point, the voice of the Count of Cherbourg turned into the chirping of an eagle, for little Bazin had already pounced with his weapon raised.
He immediately activated his ability to transform. (To be continued.) )
