The sea breeze blew, and the gorgeous curtain and the small flags behind the samurai were blown to the sound of hunting. But it still can't save Masahiro Abe's already overloaded brain at this time, and sweat is pouring down his forehead.

In order to make up for the lack of artillery, he specially ordered skilled craftsmen to make dozens of wooden cannons overnight, and then painted them with iron paint to strengthen the momentum.

There are also those atmospheric curtains, all of which are high-end goods that the shogun is reluctant to use. The samurai deployed behind him and around him were also the best people he could use at this time.

In order to ensure that the negotiations could go smoothly, Masahiro Abe also found an interpreter in Japan who was the best in Dutch

However, the Austrian side directly sent a shrine maiden with a Kansai accent to negotiate, which made him a little confused.

"Damn Osaka merchants! There is nothing they dare not sell, and sooner or later the country will be ruined in their hands! Masahiro Abe was slandered in his heart.

He imagined many possibilities for today's negotiations, and it is very likely that the other party will use his strong position to put pressure on the shogunate and force a compromise as soon as he comes up, and may even sit directly opposite him and throw the negotiated agreement on the ground and add another sentence.

"But it's just a matter of permissibility and disapproval."

Of course, it is also possible to be "polite", to state the interests and interests, as the usual Dutch do, and to strive for the best interests within a certain framework.

Or maybe it's a relatively equal agreement, although it is said to be relatively equal, but that only exists on paper, after all, Japan has no industrial capacity at this time.

Or the Austrians, intimidated by the strong military power of the shogunate, took the initiative to choose to make concessions, pay tribute to the shogunate, or even bribe him, a high-ranking official of the shogunate.

The negotiator may be a red-haired ghost, a green-haired ghost, or King Kongo, a gorilla, or something like that, after all, according to the report of the official who previously ascended the flagship of the Austrian army:

"The people of Austria have different hairs, and their elders are like forests, often swallowing clouds and spitting mist, such as tengu, if Yasha, if the king of Ren, and if the owner of the sea, it is really very strange.

The person in its leader is unusually short, like a ghost, and he is actually a slippery ghost. More and more shameless banshee nudity is very. What we have seen and heard is comparable to the night walk of a hundred ghosts."

But what's going on with this Kansai-speaking shrine maiden in front of you? I've grown a little taller, but I'm a Japanese no matter how I look at it.

Masahiro Abe's mind was in a state of confusion, and he really didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of him.

At the same time, I feel as if I was humiliated.,Because the other party actually sent a woman to negotiate.,And judging from the outfit, it's still the lowest-level "みこ (Miko)".

However, before Masahiro Abe could speak, the retainers behind him had already drawn their swords.

After all, according to the saying that the lord humiliates the death of his ministers, the samurai of the Abe family cannot endure this kind of humiliation.

And although that samurai was afraid of foreign hairs and gringos, he was not afraid of any witches, and he had never been afraid of such people in his life!

"Yaga! How dare you be rude to the old and the middle."

"Bang!"

Kagura fired decisively, and before the samurai could finish his sentence, a bullet shattered his face armor, which then pierced his skull.

The latter died very simply, and everything happened so quickly that the people around him didn't have time to react, or even before Masahiro Abe could speak.

In fact, Franz also prepared a special prop for Kagura to pretend to be a ghost, but the uncontrollable nature of the white phosphorus bomb and the high requirements for the environment may harm himself or others if he is not careful.

Of course, if it can be used, the effect is absolutely the best, with the power of white phosphorus, it can completely burn through the armor, and then through the bones, until it turns to ashes

The deterrent effect is absolutely leveraged, but in the future, when the trick is exposed, the rebound is also a leverage.

To get back to the point, Masahiro Abe did not issue an order under the horror and consternation, and the sergeants who had not fought in more than 200 years and knew that the battle was bullying all day long had no discipline at all.

Some people retreated, some fell, some roared, and some were even ready to draw their knives and cut the "witch" in front of them.

"Bang! Bang! "Two more gunshots rang out and two more unlucky people fell, both of whom were shot in the face, and there was basically no chance of survival.

"Enough! Stand down! Masahiro Abe shouted, partly because he was really angry at the stupidity of his men, and partly because a row of black holes of guns were already aimed at him.

So far, Masahiro Abe has not known the other party's intentions, but judging from the behavior pattern of the other party, the Austrian Empire does not care about him at all - Masahiro Abe's life or death.

Although those warriors were shocked and angry, it was not themselves who died, and the muzzles of those black holes made them not have the slightest desire to fight again.

Seeing this, Kagura put away his revolver and sat across from Masahiro Abe.

"I represent Austria at this time, and you will be declaring war on the Reich by drawing your sword against me. I hope that you will keep your men in check and refrain from any further actions that could undermine the future peace between the two countries. ”

Kagura's tone was soft, and there was a big smile on his face, but Masahiro Abe and the samurai behind him didn't feel the warmth at all, and instead clenched their fists.

Those arrogant samurai almost burst into fire in their eyes at this time, and at this time, as long as Abe Masahiro gave the order, they were ready to make a jade smash charge.

It's just that as the chief elder of the shogunate, Masahiro Abe will not waste his life in meaningless places, let alone allow himself to be rash, and turn around and say.

"Whoever drew the knife just now should be seppuku. No one is allowed to act rashly without my orders, do you understand?! ”

"Yes!" (Hayi).

"Are you satisfied? I am Masahiro Abe, the chief lieutenant of the shogunate, and I am the 13th Shogun Tokugawa Iesada-sama to negotiate with you. ”

"I serve the Archduke Franz Joseph of the Habsburgs, and I am grateful to be the Austrian representative in this negotiation. You can call me Kagura. ”

At this time, the translator who was caught in the middle was very embarrassed, and he cleared his throat and said.

"In the Lower Dutch Chamber of Commerce's representative in Japan, Takenosuke Yamada."

Masahiro Abe waved his hand and motioned for Takenosuke to step down, as it seemed that the translation was completely unnecessary. In fact, it is more appropriate for this so-called representative of the Chamber of Commerce to be called Kapitan.

"What do you want from this? You must know that the kingdom of God in Japan has its own laws, so what is the benefit of your so-called free trade? In the end, we will disrupt our law, destroy our country, and bring disaster to our people."

Although Masahiro Abe wanted to say this, judging from the conflict just now, unless Amaterasu personally used the solar railgun to kill him, it was unlikely that the shogunate would win the war.

Back in reality, Masahiro Abe asked, "What do you want from this?" ”

"I am here to be the cornerstone of Japan's seclusion."

As soon as he heard this, Abe Masahiro's heart sank to the bottom, and he really came to the shogunate, and I am afraid that this war with the Austrian Empire is inevitable.

"What do you want?"

"Help you and others to become the cause of eternity."
