Chapter 1551
"No, no, Mr. Commissioner, your view is not recognized in our Western Continent. You cannot think that this place belongs to you just because you have come here first. Your so-called management is actually just to move some immigrants here and manage according to your domestic ruling model. The residents here have not actually obtained real citizenship. Their level of civilization is too low, and it is impossible for you to understand the truth. Therefore, your reasons cannot prove anything." A joint slightly raised on the bridge of the tall nose looked a little abrupt. Mauser... Holid resolutely rejected the other party's request. According to the other party, almost the entire central part of the New World had been included in the Tang people's pocket. In addition, the entire New World, which had already fallen into the eastern part of the New World, the Tang people, was almost one-third of the entire New World, which was absolutely unacceptable to the Famini Empire.
"Mr. Mauser, this is the New World, not the Western World. Please understand this. The New World cannot be understood in accordance with the model of your Western World. Of course, our Tang Dynasty did not want the New World to operate in accordance with the model of our Tang Dynasty. But now the Great Lakes area is under our actual control. We believe that this area must be managed in our way. No one can change this. As for other places, if the Famini Empire manages and rules in its own control and its own intentions, we will not interfere. However, we hope that you, the Western World people, will not regard the indigenous people of the New World as slaves, so that it will not conform to humanitarian principles from any perspective."
The other party's sarcastic tone made Mauser... Holid's cheeks were a little hot. He also knew that the black slave trade was quite prevalent in the area controlled by the Famini Empire, which had aroused strong criticism from some human rights organizations in the Western Continent. When the powerful people in the Western Continent criticized the Tang Dynasty for not abolishing the legalization of the slave trade, they were repertoire in their national controlled areas that civilized people regarded as crimes. This was indeed a bit embarrassing.
"Mr. Commissioner, your suggestion will be considered by our country, but now is not the time to discuss this issue. I hope we can calmly negotiate on the actual boundary of the Great Lakes area. Your boundary is too broad. If you think that within one hundred kilometers of the lake area is the actual control area, our Famini Empire is barely acceptable, but within five hundred kilometers, it is too surprising. You have no existence beyond more than two hundred kilometers. Except for some occasional expeditions, you have not seen any traces left in these places. Isn't this an unreasonable request?"
Maother felt helpless about the lions of the Tang Dynasty. He also knew that the Tang Dynasty had a strong power in this area, but this could not be the reason why the Tang Dynasty blocked the Famini Empire's southward. The Great Lakes area could be the Tang Dynasty, but the five hundred kilometers east of Lake Tangenic, Lake Congo, and Lake Malawi belonged to the Tang Dynasty. This requirement was too high. They would never understand why the Tang Dynasty had such a great desire for land. The Famini Empire's expedition team went through a lot of hardships to move south from the northwest direction, crossing countless deserts, grasslands, swamps and forests to come here. Now the Tang Dynasty people actually asked their side to admit their own side to the sphere of influence of the 500 kilometers around the Dahu area as a prerequisite before talking about other things. This is too much.
"Mr. Mauser, you also admit that our expedition team has passed through those areas. Isn't this a proof of our empire's arrival here? In a deserted area, our adventure team left the boundary markers and national flags of our Tang Empire and built our survey station. Can't this be used as a proof?! Then I really can't understand what Mr. Mauser said is? Do cities and market towns have to be proved? Then I want to see if the Famini Empire left cities and market towns on every land in the Sosira coast area." The young diplomat spread his hands in a pretentious manner.
Mauser...Holid was speechless for a moment. On the New World, countries recognized the other party's sphere of influence in a default way. If it was necessary to prove it by cities and town management, it was impossible. The Sosira coastal area was the main control area of the Famini Empire in the northwest of the New World. In the same wide area, the Famini people could only stay at the control of the point. The vast inland areas were not crowded at all, and even the Tang Dynasty performed worse in the Great Lakes area. However, for the exploration of the central region of the New World, the Western Continent countries came to the back of the Tang Dynasty. Now the Tang Dynasty used the survey stations left by their expedition team as a proof of actual control, which was undoubtedly quite lethal, but the Western Continent countries could never agree with this. Otherwise, there would be no more places left for the Famini Empire in the New World.
Seeing the other party's ugly face, the diplomatic commissioner also knew that it was impossible to force people too much. The Famini family was not afraid. However, now the Leeds, Barolzs, and Augsburg people are beginning to show more and more interest in the central region of the New World. The task assigned by the Empire's Ministry of Foreign Affairs is to win the diplomatic recognition of the powerful countries in the Western continent to the greatest extent possible without damaging the existing interests of the Empire, and try to avoid resolving disputes by military means. If it is absolutely necessary, try not to be hostile to all countries. Choose one or two countries as the best breakthrough.
"Of course, the Famini Empire and our Tang Empire have maintained quite good diplomatic and economic and trade relations. Your country's wine, champagne, perfume and various jewelry are already very popular in our country. We are also actively meeting your country's spice needs. So I personally hope to reach an agreement on this difference. I wonder what Mr. Mauser thinks?"
Mauser, who was already considering how to explain to his boss after the failure of this negotiation... Hollid was overjoyed when he heard this. He was eager to obtain a compromise plan that both parties could accept. With Famini's current strength, he was not enough to directly challenge the control of the Tang Empire in this area. In fact, the Famini Empire had no intention of doing this. They just wanted to leave a space for the Famini Empire to gradually penetrate into this area in the future. If the Tang Empire really rejected such a suggestion
Then he could only report to his superiors truthfully after going back. It is very likely that the Famini Empire could join forces with its enemies, Leeds and Barolz, to fight against the Tang Dynasty, and even seek cooperation with the Augsburg Empire, which is seeking to challenge the Famini Empire's hegemony on the Western Continent. This is undoubtedly a situation that the Famini people would not want to see. If they could reach an agreement with the Tang Empire without affecting the principle, it would be of course the best.
"Mr. Commissioner, the friendship between our country and your country has a long history. Now, Mr. Plovlan, the classmate and envoy of your country's emperor, and his other wife, is visiting our capital. He has just accepted the reception from His Majesty the emperor. I admire you so deeply. My country is willing to make some concessions on this issue, but we must not make concessions without principles. I hope that your country can fully understand our difficulties when we realize our sincerity."
"Haha, Mr. Mauser, I think if both of us can understand each other's situation and difficulties, this kind of thing will be much easier. However, it has been a long time and time is tight. Since we have reached an agreement on principled intentions, I wonder if we can negotiate the specific terms of diplomatic recognition?" The young diplomatic commissioner was also a little worried about the long nights. Intelligence information sent back from the Western continent showed that the Leeds diplomatic officials were frequently active in various countries in the Western continent, seeking to join forces to deal with the Empire's expansion in the central region of the New World. If the Famini people can stabilize the Famini first, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the Leeds' attempt. Without the Famini people, the Barodz people and the Augsburg people alone as their arms, the Empire can completely fight against the Leeds people head-on. Of course, unless it is necessary, the Empire is not willing to resort to force to solve the problem now.
"Of course, I have obtained the full authorization of His Majesty the Emperor of our country. I just don't know if the Commissioner can represent your government?" Mauser...Hollyd was overjoyed. The other party's straightforwardness made him happy. He was a little confused about the other party's attitude at first and then respectful. However, as long as you can reach a compromise at the bottom line, it would be a victory for the Famini Empire.
The Memorandum of Understanding between the Tang Empire and the Famini Empire on the sphere of influence of the New World region immediately triggered a huge storm in the Western Continent. The diplomatic envoy of the Leeds Kingdom, which was joining forces to suppress the expansion of the Tang Empire, denounced the act of the Famini Empire as a "shameless betrayal". The Augsburg Empire and the Barolz Kingdom also expressed their statements about the Famini Empire's separate act of making peace with the Tang Empire.
