Even though he was ready to be troubled, Hirobuki Ito was furious when facing this scene in front of him.

But there was a voice deep in his heart that kept reminding him to calm down. This was the enemy's conspiracy, just to incite...

"Your Excellency the Governor, it is too unfair to us to return directly to the pre-war period. It is against us..."

Before Hirobuki Ito finished speaking, Chandler interrupted: "Prime Minister, you seem to have made a mistake in the concept, your negotiating partner is there.

I am just providing you with a reference suggestion in my personal capacity, whether to accept it is your freedom. In short, order in Southeast Asia must be restored to normal before Christmas.

Your country's army in the Philippine Islands has now destroyed the prosperity and stability of the South Ocean region, which no peace-loving country can tolerate. If your government does not have the ability to deal with it, we can help."

"Being acted" was Hirobuki Ito's first reaction. No matter what, since it was the Japanese-Spanish War, the protagonist of the negotiations should be Japan-Spanish countries.

Now I couldn't help but run to talk to the representative of Shinra. Isn't it a sign of water entering my mind?

This problem arose, and Chandler took the opportunity to draw out the negotiation timeline, causing himself to fall into a passive state.

disagree?

Just look at the expressions of representatives from various countries and you will know that you don’t think about it. You are good to finish the talk as soon as possible, and I am good to everyone. Otherwise, it will affect everyone’s return to celebrate Christmas, which will be a great sin.

What Hirofumi Ito most unacceptable is that the British actually acquiesced to all this happening and did not withdraw from the Philippines to object.

Ito Hirofumi didn't think much about it. John Bull's teammate's skills are too powerful. If he is accidentally sold and even counts money for others, it would be a tragedy.

...

There is no accident. The first day of negotiations is destined to end in a bad mood. If the result can be reached in one day, it will not be a negotiation.

In the evening, Governor Chandler, as the host, held a banquet as usual. Watching representatives of various countries shuttle happily during the banquet, Hirobuki Ito, in a suit, drank alone in a corner with a glass of red wine, which seemed out of place with the environment.

"Still worry about the daytime things?"

The visitor was Klaus, the Consul of the British in Nanyang. He sat down opposite Ito Hirobuki with his female companion in one hand and a wine glass in the other.

After raising his glass and sipping it, Hirobuki Ito slowly replied: "Yes, jazz."

"The biased position of some countries is really unfriendly to us. If this situation continues, it may be difficult for the subsequent negotiations to proceed smoothly."

Hearing this unsurprising answer, Klaus smiled so hard that he leaned back and forth, and the wine in the glass was sprinkled out, and finally he returned to normal economy with the help of his female companion.

"Prime Minister, you have been deceived. It is true that European countries support Spain, but it does not mean that they are willing to launch a war for Spain that cannot see any reward.

Although they are so clamoring, they can actually decide whether to start the war or the governments. As long as your country does not touch the bottom line of the Vienna government, they will not send troops.

…”

Frankly speaking, Klaus didn't want to tell the Japanese so much, but he couldn't resist Hirobuki Ito's actions, just now he received another 5,000 pound check.

Although diplomats stationed abroad have many ways to make money, it depends on what. If they are stationed in the Far Eastern Empire, they will naturally have a lot of money and can make money by just making a little money.

Unfortunately, Klaus's workplace is in Nanyang, and in the Nanyang area dominated by Shinra, his identity as a consul is worthless.

When it comes to the political and diplomatic affairs of both countries, London directly contacted Vienna, and it was not his turn to make the decision. Even if there was something that needed to be coordinated, don't expect the Austrian Governor of Nanyang to give him generous gifts.

I want to help build bridges and lines to refute industrial products such as weapons and equipment, construction machinery, and other industrial products, but unfortunately, Shenra is even worse than Britain's play in this regard, and there is no blank market at all.

In this context, Klaus's pocket naturally couldn't bulge. He finally encountered the Japanese sucker, so he naturally had to blackmail him.

For the sake of the pound, Klaus was very pleased to sell the gameplay in the European diplomatic circle and also gave away the basic situation in the current European continent.

All that comes afterwards is nonsense. Hirofumi Ito has long known the basic situation of the European continent. However, he still needs to learn some of the secrets in the European diplomatic circle.

"Jazz, what is the bottom line of the Continental Union, or what is the bottom line of the Vienna government?"

It is very important to figure out this point. If you don’t figure out the bottom line of the Holy Roman Empire, or the real intentions, Hirofumi Ito can’t sleep.

Consul Klaus shook his head: "I can't answer you with certainty this question. However, according to the speculation of the London government, the Continental Union is currently busy getting rid of the domestic economic crisis, and most likely there is not much energy to find you bad luck.

Of course, your country will definitely not be able to protect it. This was determined at the Vienna Conference. You must give the face of the Continental Union."

"The one who knows you best is your enemy." This sentence is not bad at all. If the British call it second, no one dares to be the first in the study of the Vienna government.

After so many years of research and analysis, the London government has long been able to understand the external style of the Vienna government.

Even if it is delivered to Japan, people will not want to interfere in the Philippine War. That is only because of diplomatic strategies.

The European Union sounds domineering, and those who are truly capable of interfering in Southeast Asia are the two countries of Shinra and the Netherlands. Once wars meet, the main force of the war will definitely be Shinra.

It is simple to use the Japanese to attack the Japanese. The problem is that the Vienna government has already landed. Now it is time to focus on eating and it is impossible to attack the Philippines. Even if it defeats Japan, the Vienna government will not be able to recover the cost.

Besides, Japan is not without a backstage. Even if it does not pay attention to this little brother, as long as Shinra can cause trouble, the London government will not give up its support for them.

Hirofumi Ito had known about the face of the Continental Union for a long time. Since the diplomatic notes, the Tokyo government has known that the Philippine Islands are not protected. It is still a stalemate, just to maximize interests.

Whether or not you can extort a compensation from Spain is secondary. The key is that it takes time to evacuate and move. The Japanese army's harvest in the Philippine Islands must be transported back to the country before counting.

If you want to bring the goods back smoothly, the Spanish Navy is a hurdle that you can't get around. Although the Japanese Navy has restrained the main force of the Spanish Navy, their cruisers can still come out to cause trouble.

This kind of Shinra-made ship made by Shinra has no great advantage, it is that it runs fast enough. It is not possible to fight head-on, but the battle behind enemy lines is one to top two. Even if it meets it at sea, the Japanese Navy will not be able to catch up.

Similar warships in Britain can naturally be built. The problem is that as the world's most powerful royal navy, it is enough to directly snatch the front, and those who break the trade are only needed to consider.

Without demand, there will naturally be no construction. The Japanese government needs to customize it, but unfortunately it can't wait on the battlefield.

In this context, what the Japanese government needs most is to cease fire first. Only when the sea is safe can they transport the wealth they have harvested back smoothly.

The obvious things can naturally be hidden from the Spanish. As the robbed party, the Spanish naturally do not want to see the Japanese take away their wealth.

Although Spain has the support of the Continental Union, the Japanese have relied on it. Not to mention anything else, at least most parts of the Philippine Islands are still in the hands of the Japanese army.

Destruction is easier than construction. If you are really forced, the Japanese can also play the scorched earth strategy and leave a piece of ruins for the Spaniards.

Anyway, Spain has no strength to retaliate. Once the Japanese army retreats back to its homeland, Spain will sigh.

Although the navies of the two countries can fight for a tiny amount of money now, it is based on the support of Shinra, and can carry out supply and warship repairs nearby. If they change to another battlefield, the situation will be very different.

Ito Hirofumi was deeply relieved after knowing the purpose of the Continental Union from the British population.

A weak country has no diplomacy, and Japan, which originally had the advantage of time and space, was forced by the great powers to give up Liaodong, not to mention now.

Spain has not yet been defeated. Although it suffered a great loss on the battlefield, Spain, which has supported Shenra, has not declined but increased its military strength.

In addition to these factors, there is another reason that prompted the Japanese government to give up, that is, the country is about to lose support.

Affected by the Philippine War, Shinra, the largest grain trader in Southeast Asia, cut off the export of daily food, causing the domestic rice price in Japan to soar.

The British were not able to help with this issue. The Indochina Peninsula had just occupied it for a while, and John Cattle did not have the talent to farm and had no ability to export a large amount of food to the outside world.

The Continental Union again stuck the Strait of Malacca, forcing the Japanese government to import from the Far East Empire or the United States.

The Far Eastern Empire did not have enough food to eat, so the export price was naturally not low; the United States was not the United States that used to be. Although it had the ability to export food, it was far inferior to the Confederate countries in the south in cost control.

The cost itself is not low, and with transportation costs and capitalists taking advantage of the situation, the food will naturally have nothing to do with cheap food when it arrives in Japan.

The mediation meeting was held smoothly, in addition to the face of the European Union, neither Japan nor Spain could hold on anymore, which was also an important reason.

In addition to the initial slap, after entering the formal negotiations, the initiative in the negotiations returned to the hands of representatives of Japan and Spain.

Rule makers also need to abide by the rules of the game. If you can pull the wrong side, you won’t be too much. Representatives from all countries have returned to their own mediators.

The negotiation model of "quarrel,quarrel,quarrel..." has kicked off.

...

African continent, New Altrembourg.

This remote town has now been decorated with lights and welcomes new friends to join. As the host, Viscount Outlets stood at the forefront of the queue.

According to convention, an ordinary reception is not something that a big shot is coming, and Viscount Outlet does not need to be given such high courtesy.

There is no way, Viscount Outlets is not from a prominent family. If you trace the eighteen generations of ancestors, you may have had a noble family!

Not only was he an ordinary family background, but he was not even a solid family background. He really started to make a fortune, but also started with his father. With the luck of the emperor, he successfully crossed the threshold of aristocratic in the Osa War more than 30 years ago and became the lowest knight.

Then, he caught up with the opportunity to open up Africa and became the baron with his fiefdom.

My father was lucky, and the Outlets were also lucky. When he was serving in the army, he happened to encounter the outbreak of the European War. He followed the trend of the times and the Baron became a viscount.

The scenery is a glorious, but the sequelae of the outbreak has also come. The lack of foundation of the Outlet does not have enough capital to build its own territory. Even if relatives and friends are brought together, it still cannot support a viscount.

Today is different from the past. Except for the occasional turmoil in the north, the situation on the African continent has stabilized, and the opportunity to make money in war has been taken over by the fathers.

Looking at the neighbor next door, he spent a lot of money to recruit people from the local area, and the construction of the territory was in full swing, and the city had its own prototypes. His own territory was still at the level of a small town, and Viscount Outlets was full of all kinds of flavors.

There is no way. Although Royal Bank provides low-interest loans for territory construction, there are very large restrictions on the amount of loans.

It is naturally enough to develop slowly. If you want to make a prosperous territory with money, you should go back and take a shower and go to bed!

A penny stumps the hero. Without enough funds, there is no way to attract enough immigrants from the country; without enough immigrants, the territory will naturally not develop.

In fact, being able to build a small town is the result of strong support from relatives and friends. In a sense, the territory of the outlet can also be regarded as a large family business.

Nepotism is just a pediatric department, and even the majority of the people are their own family. It is not because of the kinship and no friendship in the past, even if they immigrate, they will not be able to follow a poor lord.

Of course, there is no way. As long as you can put down your airs and go back to the local area to recruit people in person, you can still gain something.

Even if a approachable lord is a little poor for the time being, there are still people who are willing to follow him. If he knows how to draw big pie, there will be more people who follow him.

As for attracting investment, there is no need to think about it. If you want to blame, blame the seniors for cutting bridges and doing so beautifully that capitalists take a detour when they see them.

Frankly speaking, the Viscount's tribe in the Outlets is not bad. It is located in the Niger River Basin, with plenty of rain and fertile land, with an area of ​​more than 7,000 square kilometers. Not to mention a small town with a population of just over 10,000, even if one hundred such towns are built, it can be easily supported.

The only disadvantage is that it is located inland, with annoying rainforest climate and unacceptable mosquitoes.

Because of the lack of labor and the inability to transform the natural environment has become an important factor restricting the development of the territory.

In this context, Outlets naturally attaches great importance to the cheap labor provided by the country.
