"No, no, no, little Louie, you still don't understand the meaning of anti-colonialism." Zhuge Weijiu looked at Louis XVI's mixed-race son, his old face was doting, and his voice was much softer, "Anti-colonialism is both a doctrine and a business...... It's still a big business, and there are a lot of benefits in it, and if the Kingdom of France wants to be revived, it must do a good job in anti-colonial business! ”

"Anti-colonial business?" The Duke of Marseille looked at Zhuge Wei for a long time in puzzlement, "Father, how to do this business?" ”

Zhuge Weijiu smiled and beckoned to Zhuge Weixue, who immediately handed the two documents to the Duke of Marseille. The Duke of Marseille took the document and looked at it, and it turned out to be two transfer agreements, written in both Chinese and French. The things to be transferred in these two agreements are the castle and land in the Laiyinlan area held by the Zhuge family, and the shares of the Suyinshi Canal held by the Zhuge family.

And the transferee in the agreement is the Bourbon dynasty of France!

Of course, this transfer was not gratuitous, and the Bourbons had to pay up to tens of millions of silver dollars or long-term bonds. Although the price is not low, the shares of the Suyinz Canal and the castles and land in the Inland region are strategic assets for the Kingdom of France, and their value cannot be measured by money at all.

Needless to say, the Suyinshi Canal is the throat of trade between the East and the West, and it is also one of the two major throats of the Mediterranean! And France, in turn, is the most powerful country on the Mediterranean coast, not one of them.

In addition, the Bourbons now rule Spain, a branch of the French Bourbons, and the relationship between the two Bourbons is very close. And the Strait of Gibraltar, another throat in the Mediterranean, is on the lips of Spain!

If France could take control of the Suinz Canal, Spain would be able to recover Gibraltar, which had been seized by the British...... Isn't the Mediterranean going to be Bourbon?

As for the land and castles that come to the Inland region...... This is of little significance to the Ming Zhuge family, it is nothing more than some manors that can't make any profits. But for the Bourbons, it was a shortcut to restoring France's former glory!

Since the time of Louis XIV, the Inland region has been a territory contested between France and the Holy Roman Empire, and later Napoleon broke up the Holy Roman Empire, and the Inland region was once incorporated into France. Although after the collapse of Napoleon's empire, the Lyinland area became the territory of Prussia, but the influence of France there was still there, and Austria, which had lost the Holy Roman Empire and was unwilling to be rich, was taken by Prussia, and Prussia, which came from East Germany, was unable to control Lyinland for a while. And the Zhuge family of the Ming Empire doesn't know why, since a hundred years ago, they have been trying to buy the land and castle in Inland, and over time, they have mastered one to two percent of the real estate in the Inlan area.

Once these estates fall into the hands of the Bourbons, it is equivalent to the return of French power to Inland!

Moreover, huge coal mines have been found around the Laiyinlan real estate owned by the Zhuge family...... According to the characteristics of the distribution of coal mines, there should also be large coal fields under the land owned by the Zhuge family. In addition, the land of the Zhuge family also happens to occupy the main water and land routes for the export of the Yinlan Coal Mine, which is of great strategic value.

"Father," said the Duke of Marseille, frowning, looking at the documents in his hand, "the current France is not the era of Louis XIV or Napoleon after all......

"What if you add Rakshasa to that?"

"Plus Rakshasas?" The Duke of Marseille looked up at his father.

Zhuge weijiu said with a smile: "There is not only one Greek Christian region colonized by the Turkish Empire, but also Serbia, Macedonia, Rumilia, Bulgaria, Wallachia, Moldavia and ...... Constantinople, the city of emperors!

If Greece is to be independent and liberated, should the rest of the Christian regions colonized by Turkey be liberated? On the issue of liberating the colonies, you European powers cannot engage in double standards! ”

"Liberation of Constantinople? Isn't the Rakshasa ......," the Duke of Marseille took a breath, "Britain won't agree, right?" ”

Zhuge Weijiu smiled: "Whether Britain agrees or not has nothing to do with the transaction between us, as long as France can speak up for all the Christian countries and regions conquered by the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and is willing to support Egypt to become the backbone of the revival of the Arab Empire, the Zhuge family's shares in the Suyinz Canal and assets in Lai Inland can be transferred to the Bourbon Dynasty!"

Ali Pasha was also pro-French, and his army included a large number of French officers who had served the Napoleonic Emperor. If the Bourbons were willing to support Ali Pasha, Egypt would also become a friend of France. Once the Arab Empire was revived, it was only natural that France would be able to reap considerable benefits in North Africa...... Of course, in order to revive the Arab Empire, Ali Pasha took out some land in North Africa to trade with France, which was not compatible with colonialism. France, on the other hand, can completely indigenize the North African lands it has acquired. ”

"That's the case......" The Duke of Marseille pondered carefully, and did not give a direct answer (he is not a king, of course he can't give an answer), but changed the question, "Father, will a full-scale war break out between the Ming and Britain soon?" If the Ming did not intend to go to war with Britain, would France and Austria need to intervene together? ”

Zhuge Weijiu said: "Whether the Ming Dynasty will break out a full-scale war with Britain depends entirely on whether Britain is willing to ban the trade of evil pieces. ”

"Another girl?" The Duke of Marseille was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "Dajin harassed India under the pretext of Yapian, and also demanded that the British Empire pay 21 million silver yuan in compensation. You Da Ming also talk about things...... But this girl film is not very widespread in Daming and Dajin, why do you two countries hate it so much? Are you really at war with the British because of the film? ”

Thinking of this, the Duke of Marseille asked again: "Father, is there only a ban on the trade of slices?" Do you have any other requirements? ”

"Two more!" Zhuge Weijiu nodded, smiled and stretched out two fingers, "First, we also ask the British to agree to the Ming Navy to carry out the task of banning smoking and combating piracy in the Strait of Malacca, and lend a seaport as a base for the Ming Navy in the Strait of Malacca.

Second, Britain must also open Sydney, Perth, Hobart and other three places as treaty ports, allow Ming merchants to buy land, open factories and businesses in the above three places, allow Ming Taoist priests to preach freely there, and must also allow the warships of the Ming Navy to freely enter and leave the ports there! ”

That's not a low requirement!

The Duke of Marseille said in his heart: "The Strait of Malacca is the gateway for Britain to defend India, how can it be possible to let the Ming Navy enter?" The merchants of the Ming Dynasty control almost all the industries on both sides of the Strait of Malacca, and if the Ming Navy enters again, it is difficult to say whose territory the Strait of Malacca is! Opening up Australia's Sydney, Perth and Hobart is even more impossible...... There are not many British people in Australia, and if Ming merchants are allowed to enter and exit freely, it will not be many years before the Han people will become the first race in Australia! ”

However, the Duke of Marseille still nodded and said, "Father, your old friend and Uncle He also went to France a few days ago, and he came with Archduke Mihaille, and the purpose was also to negotiate with the British to ban the trade of slices, and also claimed 21 million silver yuan. Otherwise, my brother and Austria's Mei Xiangye will take the lead and hold a meeting on the issue of the film in Versailles, and invite the representatives of Daming, Daikin, Britain, and Japan to discuss it together, what do you think? ”

Zhuge waved his hand with a smile and said, "There's nothing going on in Japan here...... Only the three parties, Daming, Daikin and the United Kingdom, in addition, France, Austria and the Rakshasa can participate in the negotiations together as mediators. ”
