Chapter 212 The British, who were helpless with both hard and soft treatment

Seriously, Luo Fenglu really didn't want to come here, every time he thought of the arrogant face of the British, it made him hate it unspeakably! But thinking of the young master's explanation and the current situation that Huo Jiajun was facing now, Luo Fenglu couldn't help but sigh softly! Sometimes personal preferences must make way for the interests of the collective!

"But now the British should not be as arrogant and domineering as before!" Thinking about the information he had learned during this time, Luo Fenglu secretly thought in his heart!

"Minister Luo, welcome here, I don't know what I'm looking for so much?" With a sound of messy footsteps, Gwener walked down with Owens and the main personnel of the British mission with a smile on his face!

"Can't you come to Mr. Minister to talk about something if there's something to do?" Although looking at the hypocritical smile on the face of this Englishman, Luo Fenglu felt unspeakable hatred in his heart, but the responsibility he was carrying made him have to fight to deal with these cunning Britons!

"How come, Minister Luo is here, it's my honor! And we Anglo-Saxons are a hospitable people! Come, Minister Luo, please take a seat!" At this time, both sides seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness that happened between the two sides a few days ago, and they were smiling and chatting intimately like old friends who had not seen each other for many years!

Although up to now, Luo Fenglu is still not used to drinking coffee, a foreigner's hobby!

"This is made with coffee beans from your side, doesn't Minister Luo like it?" looked at Luo Fenglu after taking a slight sip. He frowned and put down the teacup in his hand. Gwiener asked with a smile.

"Hehe, in comparison, I still like the tea ceremony that has been popular for thousands of years in our Han nationality!"

Hearing his words, Gwener smiled faintly, took a sip of coffee, tasted the faint bitterness on the tip of his tongue, and asked as if inadvertently: "Recently, I have heard that Minister Luo is very busy! The hotels where diplomatic envoys from France, the United States, Germany, and other countries stayed one after another, how can they have time to come to us today?"

"It's been more than ten days since Minister Gwena came to Machen. I believe that we have already discovered the various infrastructure construction we are working on here, right?" Seeing the British staring straight into his eyes, Luo Fenglu replied to the question!

"Of course, the scale of your construction, the amount of manpower consumed, and the scale of investment are the only ones I have seen in more than 30 years of politics! But I wonder what this has to do with Minister Luo's visit?"

"Old fox!" Although he cursed secretly in his heart, Luo Fenglu quickly replied: "Of course it matters! Your Excellency the Minister should know how many industrial materials such as steel, cement, and coal are needed for such a scale of construction! Moreover, our Chinese People's Army has been established for less than three years, and it is difficult to ensure the material needs of this scale! Therefore. Of course, I asked for help from the industrial powers of Europe! Of course, I came here today to negotiate a deal with the industrially developed British Empire!"

After listening to his words, Gwener's eyes irrepressibly revealed a strong hint of joy! In the capitalist world, no person or country can resist the temptation of money! Moreover, before that, he had long been drooling with envy of the huge economic cooperation plan between the Chinese and the industrial powers such as France and the United States! As the first country to achieve industrialization, the British Empire has the strongest strength in the world, whether it is steel, coal, shipbuilding, or equipment manufacturing. Moreover, the Empire's vast industrial products are fully capable of meeting all your needs!"

"Of course. We have never doubted the industrial strength of the British Empire!Otherwise, I wouldn't be here today!" As he spoke, Luo Fenglu took out a thick document from his briefcase and put it on the low table in front of Gwiener! "Mr. Minister, you can take a look at it first!"

Gwener looked a little excited and with a hint of anticipation, picked up the document on the table, opened its blank cover, and looked at it carefully!

Looking at his movements, although the faces of the surrounding Britons showed intense curiosity, they all understood the importance of this moment, so they even relaxed their breathing a little! It was not very large, and the simply decorated meeting room did not have the slightest noise except for the reactionary sound of paper, and it became extremely quiet! Everyone around them focused their eyes on the thick document that was being turned over!

As time passed, the pages of the document were turned over one by one, and Gvina's expression began to be irrepressibly excited!

"Minister Luo, these are all for Britain!!" Gripping the thick document tightly in his hand, Gwener took a few deep breaths, suppressed his violent heartbeat, and then looked at the Chinese who looked extremely cute in his eyes at the moment with a happy face, and asked urgently.

"Of course, we will use all this 100 million pounds of funds to purchase your country's steel, cement, coal, jīng copper industrial and construction raw materials, as well as steelmaking equipment, shipbuilding equipment, mechanical processing equipment, metallurgical equipment, mining equipment and other heavy industrial equipment, and cotton spinning equipment, flour processing equipment, sugar equipment, leather processing equipment, garment weaving equipment and other light industrial equipment! In addition, we will also use the customs duties of our Chinese and People's Army as collateral to borrow 50 million pounds from the banks of your country at an annual interest rate of four percent! And they will all be used to purchase various industrial manufactured products from your country!" Although I don't know why the young master must borrow money from the British, and use customs duties as collateral! But Luo Fenglu still carried it out unconditionally!

Although Luo Fenglu's words were very brief, they did not mention in the ears of these Britons, and a thunderclap sounded! 150 million pounds is enough to buy the current British Imperial Navy fleet!

Gwener, who had an incomparably bright smile on his face, had never felt so happy as he was today! At this moment, a series of negative emotions such as anger, anxiety, and uneasiness that had been trapped in his heart for more than ten days since he came to the territory of the People's Army had all disappeared without a trace! Moreover, these Chinese were no longer as hateful in his heart as they were the day before yesterday!

Seeing their happy looks, Luo Fenglu couldn't help but smile faintly, "Minister Gwena! This treaty is very rich! And France, the United States, and the Germans are all trying their best to fight for our country! But in the end, we still resisted the pressure and left it to your country!"

"Thank you for your friendship with the British Empire, and I believe that our cooperation will be a complete success!" said Gwener!

"I also believe what Mr. Minister said, but if we want to cooperate, and if your country wants to get these orders, I'm afraid there is still a small obstacle between us!"

After listening to his words, Gwena couldn't help but be stunned, and asked with some confusion in his tone: "I don't know what Minister Luo said?"

"Actually, it's very simple! As long as the Chinese People's Army and the British Empire establish formal diplomatic relations and send ministers to each other! Then no one will be able to change the fact that this order of up to 150 million pounds belongs to Britain! Of course, we have not only put forward such conditions for Britain, France, Germany, the United States, and other countries that have signed economic cooperation treaties with us almost all have the same demand! Moreover, the ministers of various countries who came to our People's Army this time have already indicated that there is no problem! I wonder if the British Empire has adopted the same attitude as them!" Luo Fenglu couldn't help but ask with a smile!

'Wow!', the expression on Gviner's face changed, and he secretly said in his heart: "It's broken!"

Originally, for the sake of such a large order, the establishment of formal diplomatic relations should and was inevitable! However, now there is a key issue that is the Kingdom of the Netherlands! If Britain really establishes diplomatic relations with the Chinese People's Army and sends ministers to each other, then it means that the British Empire has recognized the territorial sovereignty of the Chinese People's Army over the East Indies and the Pacific Islands! Then it also means that Britain has given up its decision to support the Netherlands! Although this order can bring a lot of benefits to Britain! But Britain's European policy is also extremely important! Now Gwener is really having a hard time making a choice!

Shaking his head, Gwener sighed secretly in his heart! "I know that it is certainly not simple for the Chinese to throw such a big bait! Alas! Kingdom of the Netherlands! Let it be considered by the prime minister and the ministers of the cabinet!" Thinking of this, "I already understand what Minister Luo meant! I will report this document and your attitude to China as soon as possible! I believe there will be a reply soon!"

"Hehe! Okay! Since Mr. Minister said so, I am also relieved! I came here today mainly for this matter, and now that it is done, then I should also go!" Luo Fenglu stood up with a smile on his face, and after speaking, he stretched out his right hand!

After a simple handshake, Gwener said with a smile: "I originally wanted to invite Minister Luo to stay and have a hearty English lunch, but it seems that there is no chance today!"

"Next time, when our treaty is signed and diplomatic relations are established, I will come back to taste Mr. Minister's food!"

"Okay! Minister Luo walks slowly! goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"

Looking at the departing carriage, the smile on Gvina's face disappeared as quickly as ice and snow melted!

"Sir, what should we do!" Owens asked with a sad face! The conditions of the Chinese are too rich! Let him not bear to give up even a soldier!

"Owens, send someone back to China immediately! This matter should be handed over to the prime minister and they will have a headache!" Gwener said with a heavy face after a final sigh.
