Tom saw that the other party took out another "gift", so he hurriedly sat back on the original main seat, and sat down to read the "gift".

All the goods of the Heroine company are in the sphere of influence of the British and North German Confederation, and the tariffs will be reduced by one-third!

The precondition was that the Second Mexican Empire signed a trilateral trade agreement, and that Queen Victoria's children should become the consorts of the monarchs of the Second Mexican Empire, and that the Hanoverian bloodline would continue to be the nominal monarchs of the Second Mexican Empire.

Tom looked at this benefit, but he was not satisfied, and directly made a "no-limit move" that even the British representative did not expect:

"John, how about calling back the representatives of the Second French Empire and Austria-Hungary and asking them to help me see this agreement?"

Tom wants to sell himself at a price, but Tom is still not satisfied with the "small profits" given by Great Britain.

The representative of Great Britain had a stiff face, and the "pork smile" expression that had been maintained for a long time finally ended, and he stared at Tom Smith tightly with an unkind face.

For the first time, the representative of Great Britain said in an unkind tone in the presence of Tom:

"Mr. Smith, do you really think that this handwritten letter from Her Majesty herself to you is suitable for those outsiders?"

"What outsiders are not outsiders, aren't you Europeans all family?"

"How can we, Prussia, be one family with the Habsburgs! Those despicable ......"

Before the British delegates could refute it, the Prussian delegates, who had already seen Tom's displeasure, stood up excitedly and refuted Tom's argument that "Europe is a family".

Tom stretched out his two hands directly, made a stop motion, and unceremoniously said to the Prussian delegate:

"Stop, stop, if you are not happy, let your North German Confederation, which has no navy, come to the United States on an expedition, or ask Great Britain, which is now suffering from a large-scale disaster in the country, to fight to the death with me in the Gulf of Mexico, and I will accompany you at any time."

"Don't think I don't know, you Prussia have long wanted to try the depth of the French Army, the first army in Europe."

"And your Prussia's greatest reliance is artillery superiority."

"By the way, let me tell you Prussia that Lao Tzu is now copying your Krupp cannon, which has a range of one-tenth of a mile farther than yours."

"If you dare to bring troops to our Second Mexican Empire or Texas, then I will give these artillery aid to the Second French Empire at a low price."

"Help the Second French Empire improve its armaments."

After listening to Tom's words, the Prussian representative's face turned purple with anger, and he raised his hand to scold Tom.

But a calm right hand pressed down the hand of the Prussian deputy.

It is the right hand of the representative of Great Britain.

The representative of Great Britain was not an impulsive man, and he began to carefully analyze the pros and cons, analyzing every word Tom had just said.

Analyze why Tom said such arrogant and domineering words in front of the diplomatic representatives of the great powers.

The representative of Great Britain suddenly shivered all over, and looked at Tom Smith with the eyes of the devil.

"Famine!" The representative of Great Britain roared inwardly.

The representative of Great Britain looked at Tom squarely, and asked Tom very seriously without smiling:

"Mr. Smith, if I'm not mistaken, it's not just our four countries that are here in Houston today, right?"

"Representatives from all European countries should be on their way to Houston now, right?"

Tom did not answer the question of the representative of Great Britain directly, but only smoked a golden fake cigarette with one hand, and kept tapping rhythmically on the table with the other.

Silence is better than sound,

The British delegate stayed where he was, pondered for a few minutes, and then dragged the Prussian delegate out of Tom's office.

The Prussian delegates almost wrote their displeasure on their faces, when did a thousand-year-old Junker nobleman of North Germany suffer such a great humiliation?

However, the title of the British representative was one order higher than that of the Prussian representative, and the Prussian representative saw that the British representative had nothing to say along the way, so he also silently followed the British representative and returned to the hotel where he was staying.

After entering the hotel, the British delegates pulled the Prussian delegates into a secret room,

Before the representative of Great Britain could speak, the Prussian representative, who had long been upset with Tom, first scolded Tom in the secret room:

"What a mud-legged colonial criminal! Arrogance what? ”

"Maybe the descendants of some criminal dare to speak so wildly about my motherland!"

“……”

The British delegate did not respond to the Prussian delegate's scolding, but waited silently beside the Prussian delegate, waiting for the other party to vent his anger.

When the Prussian representative had almost vented, the British representative said to the Prussian representative with a heavy expression:

"Mr. Prussian Deputy, the question between us and the Second Mexican Empire is no longer a mere foreign affair."

"What nonsense are you talking about, Mr. Earl of Great Britain? How could it not be a foreign affair? ”

The Prussian delegates were somewhat confused, what were the representatives of Great Britain talking about? What is it that is not foreign affairs now?

The representative of Great Britain took out several documents and handed them to the representative of Prussia.

"This is the amount of food shortages in European countries right now, you see."

"What is the estimated amount of food shortages in various countries? What does this data have to do with today's negotiations? ”

The representative of Great Britain did not answer the Prussian representative head-on, but asked another question:

"How much money can you use now on behalf of the Kingdom of Prussia and the North German Confederation behind you?"

"Delegate of Great Britain, why do you ask this?" A series of questions directly confused the Prussian deputies.

The representative of Great Britain replied with some reluctance:

"If my guess is correct, in a few days the diplomatic representatives of the European countries will come to Houston one after the other."

"When the European delegates from all over the world come to Houston, Tom Smith will show him all to us Europeans."

"Especially the produce that is missing."

"Now there is a food shortage in the whole of Europe, because the terrible number of people in each country sell agricultural products to Houston in exchange for the goods of the heroine company."

"Now that the world economy is collapsing, this is actually nothing, and we Europe have experienced fewer economic crises over the years?"

"But this time it's different, this time that bastard Smith has concentrated a large area of food from all over Europe and even the world to the United States, especially the Houston area!"

The Prussian representative was still puzzled: "Does this make any difference?" ”

"Huh, no difference?"

"Think about it, if Tom waited a month or two and the famine started to break out in the countries, he would sell the food he had hoarded,"

"When the time comes, governments will have to pay for their own domestic failures."

"When the unfortunate men smuggle and resell, one is more active than the other, but you tell them to spit out a little profit to save the country and the people?"

"Do you think it's possible?"

The Prussian representative realized that he was too entangled in foreign affairs, and only then did he realize one thing after the British representative's suggestion - Tom had choked his own vital point.
