Ogener was largely unconvinced by Tian Buzi's suggestion that the Imperial Navy of the Great Song Dynasty was about to retaliate against the Dutch for the massacre of the Chinese in the South Pacific. John www.biquge.infoBull himself was a veteran of taking the opportunity to do big things, not to mention the first and second opium wars, and they all relied on this hand to provoke the war.

"Tian, as early as the middle of the eighteenth century, the Dutch carried out a massacre against the Chinese in Batavia, and the Chinese government at that time allowed the Dutch to act on the grounds that the overseas Chinese were not their subjects. Your council chose to send a fleet to the South Pacific at this time, I am afraid that there is something else to it, right? Ogner was direct about his opinion.

"Mr. Minister, the Great Song Empire had not yet completed its industrialization in the middle of the seventeenth century, and had not formed a fleet that could be used for ocean-going warfare, otherwise we would not have let the Dutch go unchecked for the crimes committed against the Chinese in 1740. However, the Dutch seem to have regarded our past as laissez-faire, and even carried out a purge against the Chinese in West Borneo, and apparently they did not take to heart the warning salvo of the sixteen-inch main guns of the battleships at sea outside Maguan! Tian Buzi said as he flicked the ash of his cigar into the ashtray.

"The Chinese regime in West Borneo and the Dutch have been at war since 1884! God, there are no immortals in war, and it is too far-fetched for you to use this as an excuse to intervene in the affairs of the South Pacific, right? Ogener said.

The Strait of Malacca is of great significance to the empire on which the sun never sets, from India, the "crown jewel of the British Empire", to the Far East, if you want to detour the Strait of Malacca, you have to go to the Sunda Strait near Batavia, and then you will have to detour to Australia.

Therefore, when Ogna heard Tian Buzi say that the fleet of the Royal Navy of the Great Song Dynasty was about to fight with Tsarist Russia, he went to Batavia to teach a lesson to the children who offended the Chinese, the Dutch, and he did not believe it, and he did not even believe the punctuation marks in Tian Buzi's words and sentences.

"Tian, let's be honest, do you want to seek a port of your own in the South Pacific in order to prepare for the war of Tsarist Russia and ensure the safety of sea lanes?" Ogner's brain hole is not small, and he directly leaned on the geographical location of the Great Song Dynasty.

Although the appearance of BB63 poured a basin of ice water on the heads of the whiteskins who originally planned to open up a direct route to the mainland of the Great Song Dynasty, no one dared to go against the meaning of the Royal Navy of the Great Song Dynasty, which had such a powerful battleship, to find the geographical location of the Great Song Dynasty.

No, even John Bull, a close ally of the Great Song Dynasty, guessed that the location of the Great Song Dynasty was on a large island near the South Pole in the Southern Hemisphere. Therefore, the British minister Ogner directly locked the purpose of the Great Song Dynasty's military campaign against the Dutch to seek a port in the South Pacific in order to control the Strait of Malacca or the Sunda Strait.

"Mr. Minister, the geographical location of the Great Song Dynasty is not in the content of our discussion this time." Tian Buzi was also speechless for the British's long-term victim paranoia.

I'm rubbing, why is this going around here? Is it possible for us to pull Niu Niu together? Tian Buzi has never been a big deal, and since John Bull loves fantasy, let them be.

"Tian, you know, the Strait of Malacca is very important to the British Empire, it connects our two very large colonies, India and Australia. You can understand how you want to keep your routes safe, but the Great Song and the outdated sea coachman are not the same, and the gentlemen of London will not watch Batavia fall into your hands. Ogener said.

"Mr. Minister, you are thinking too much, we really considered sending a fleet to put pressure on the colonial authorities in Batavia for the purpose of safeguarding the rights and interests of overseas Chinese." Tian Buzi said.

"No, no, no. Tian, this kind of trick of yours is what we played hundreds of years ago! By the time your battleships arrive outside the port of Batavia, the down-and-out Dutch will hand over control to the Chinese who are at your behest, yes, without waiting for your battleships' sixteen-inch guns to fire, and the Dutch who have lost the battle for sea supremacy in the last century will roll up their bunks and roll back to Europe. "Ogner made up the scene of the arrival of the Royal Navy fleet of the Great Song Dynasty in Batavia.

"Tian, you don't have to risk this! As much as I would like to believe that you are doing this for the sake of the safety of the routes, the gentlemen of London do not think that way, and that your quest for a fortified port in this sensitive place will cast a shadow over our alliances. Ogener continued.

"Mr. Minister, it is for fear of an unnecessary misunderstanding that I will inform you before the fleet arrives in the South Pacific. The Dutch purge of the Chinese in West Borneo was not informed of it through our channels in the Far East, and in fact we had only received a parliamentary decision to send a fleet, and they did not consult us on the matter. Tian Buzi continued to flicker.

"What does His Highness the Crown Prince think about this resolution?" Ogener was also trying to find a way to get the Great Song to abandon his quest for Batavia.

"Do you mean Commander Zhao?" Tian Buzi did not deny Zhao Yi's status as the crown prince.

"Yes, his opinion should have a great influence on the council. Listen, Tian, you must let His Highness the Crown Prince know that doing so will have a great adverse effect on the alliance between the Great Song Empire and the British Empire. Ogener said.

"Mr. Minister, we really do not have the idea of occupying Batavia, at least not the Far Eastern authorities. But His Excellency the Commander has expressed great indignation at the purges of the Dutch in West Borneo, and it would be difficult for you to persuade Parliament to abandon the resolution to send a fleet to the South Pacific. Tian Buzi said.

"You see if we can handle it in this way, I will discuss with the country, and let you make appropriate punishments for the recent purge of the Chinese in West Borneo by the Netherlands, but only in the West Borneo region; How about you go and communicate with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so that your parliament can fully consider the resolution of the Song-Ying alliance to renounce the occupation of Batavia? Ogener said to Tian Buzi.

In Ogner's mind, Zhao was a thoroughly stubborn nationalist, and if he wanted to make concessions, he would have to make the Dutch suffer. As long as the Great Song gave up seeking Batavia, Ogener felt that everything else was easy to discuss.
