Chapter 2252 Wishful thinking (1)
It's funny that Napur was a prisoner of the navy in the last Battle of the East China Sea, but he was lucky enough to be released. As a result, Napur had a good impression of China and had no intention of fighting the navy at all.
In his opinion, in the distant East, sacrificing the wealthy lives of his subordinates and fighting a war that is not necessary is a crime against the motherland.
Shi Lang's unique killing of merchant ships from various countries has put Crython under increasing pressure.
Zheng Sen, who could have provided him with excuses and support, was defeated in Fuzhou, and the Zheng army was attacked by Chen Sheng's troops and the Daxi Army on three sides and drove them into the sea. He had already been too busy to protect himself.
As a result, on the issue of peace talks with Jianxing Chao, Krissone and Napur finally had a rare consensus.
The peace talks came suddenly!
Of course, this is only one-sided.
Wu Zheng is ready, everything is ready, but the east wind is not available.
The wheels of the war have started, and even if Wu Zheng wants to stop, he may not be able to stop in a short period of time.
....
But, it still needs to be discussed.
Because no one wants to portray himself as a war-loving war dealer, at least Wu Zheng doesn't want to.
After eight years of success in the Northern Expedition, people were at ease.
In any case, there is no one who will die in war.
If Wu Zheng insisted on fighting a war that he could not have fought, even if Wu Zheng ascended the throne, he would probably be opposed and criticized.
Therefore, what should be discussed should be discussed, and there should be a big talk, and there should be a big talk with many people participating.
Wu Zheng organized more than 30 negotiators, and Wu Zheng took the lead in the talks.
The delegation of the French people has quite complex components.
As the deputy commander of the Joint Fleet, it is obviously impossible for Napur to fully control this mission, if it can be called a mission.
Wei Kuangguo, Joshuai-Wang, and Nan Huairen, who had never met Wu Zheng, and several big-bearded Europa who were not even sure whether they had actually existed. According to self-introduction, they were envoys from the Holy See.
Obviously, this is prepared, because it is impossible for the Holy See, which is thousands of miles away, to send people whenever they want to, that is, these people arrived with the joint fleet.
Then, the problem is obvious. The Holy See does not have the determination or courage to fight with Wu.
So Wu Zheng became even more at ease and even his tone changed.
“…Gu Sulai is a peace advocate…!”
Wu Zheng seriously targeted Mo Chenbo, who was temporarily brought to him as a translator, "Tell them... I am willing to embrace peace!"
God knows that as long as everyone present can understand, there is no one who does not bow his head and laughs.
After Mo Chenbo's translation, Johnson Chan, who was the translator of the foreign delegation, took the lead in showing a smile.
Then he translated Wu Zheng's meaning to Napur and others.
Napur became excited and shouted: "Orients are benevolent and righteous people... Since we all have the will to be peaceful, let us become partners, brothers, and make a lot of money together..."
Full of people from both sides of the hall, all smiling.
Look, the atmosphere is so harmonious and warm.
“……Exit Dongfan Island, dear Napur!”
Wu Zheng smiled and said this, as if Napur, today he stayed for dinner with the Lord.
Napur's face suddenly changed when he heard this, "Dear Lord of the Constitution, I admire you very much and praise your kindness. You are a knight... But this does not mean that you can impose your will on our great joint fleet... You know that on Dongfan Island, we have the right and interests that cannot be insulted, just as the interests we have on this land... sacred and inviolable!"
"... Also, the honorable Lord of the Constitution, the Holy See has hundreds of churches serving God on this land, hundreds of thousands of believers and brothers and sisters... You cannot pretend not to see it, they worship the omnipotent God...!"
Wu Zheng glanced at everyone's faces, and he was frustrated to find that no one objected to this.
It seems that this negotiation is just a negotiation by oneself.
This hurt Wu Zheng very much, so he decided to... go to his x negotiation!
"No!" Wu Zheng interrupted Napur's endless talk without hesitation, "You, and you, and Pangang's joint fleet around Dongfan Island... You do not have the so-called rights. Your so-called rights come from the private grants of our unjusts, or they are robbed by the strong ships and cannons... This is not the right you should have, nor are you allowed by Gu... Listen, Gu, don't recognize what you said!"
The atmosphere instantly condensed, and Napur's head shook into a rattle, "Dear King of Political Affairs, as far as I know, Dongfan Island has never been the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Decades ago, the Portuguese had already built cities and stationed troops on Dongfan Island... You have to be reasonable and cannot plunder the rights and wealth that should belong to us...!"
Wu Zheng slowly turned his head and faced his subordinates, "You understand. As long as the robber has logic, it is more difficult to deal with than scholars... because they can reason, use fists, or use fists to reason... Do you believe it? In a while, they will wave their fists to explain their truth?"
Mo Chenbo hesitated, not knowing whether he should translate these words to the other party.
Fortunately, Wu Zheng just complained, then turned his head, pointed at Napur, and said to Joshua Chan, "Tell him... If he thinks that he can use a naval gun to mark the territory of his or his master behind him, then Gu can also follow suit and use a naval gun to regain Gu's territory... But at that time, the ending of him and his fleet will be decided by me!"
Johnson Chan had a gloomy face and translated the words to Napur.
Napur was not just shaking his head, he shook his hands, "No, no, no... Dear Lord of Political Affairs, although I returned to my motherland safely because of your kindness... But I cannot lose the interests of my motherland because of this matter... You should be clear that a volley of thousands of warships in my joint fleet is enough to flatten a city... Please take this hard-won negotiation seriously with your existing strength...!"
"You are threatening me!" Wu Zheng smiled and pointed at Napur and said to Joshua Chan, "Tell him that the United Fleet is like a paper tiger in the eyes of the Gu... Oh, he is afraid he doesn't understand what a paper tiger is..."
Wu Zheng picked up a page of paper at his hand and threw it into the brazier in front of him. The paper burned instantly and turned into a pile of ashes.
"In the eyes of the lonely... this is the joint fleet you rely on!"
When Chau Wang heard this, his face looked angry. He forced himself to be unhappy and turned to mutter to Napur.
