Chapter 259: The Mediation of the British
The brutality of the Japanese mercenaries in the East Indies made Gao Yang look uncomfortable.
The Western powers, led by Britain, were also very dissatisfied with this brutal method of warfare and have been severely criticizing it.
Originally, Gao Yang thought that the Dutch army could consume some Japanese mercenaries, but who would have thought that these troops composed of lazy natives were worse than the Boy Scouts.
When they met the Japanese mercenaries, they basically scattered in a hurry, threw away everything, and fled frantically. Then there is the red-eyed Japanese mercenaries who chase them all the way, and finally turn into bills!
In a short period of time, Gao Yang swept through the East Indies of the Dutch. The Grand Fleet even approached Singapore several times.
The British could no longer sit still. Sir Ma Ke looked for Gao Yang with a cold face.
In the meeting room of the garrison headquarters, there was a hint of determination between the eyebrows of Sir Ma Ke, and on behalf of the British Cabinet, he clearly told Gao Yang that the war should be over!
Gao Yang, who was worried about many troubles, heard what the British meant. It's already the bottom line! The British would never allow him to put his hand in the Indian Ocean!
Gao Yang, who was thinking about too many things, reacted in a slight trance, and looked at the gaze of Jazz Ma Ke with determination in his eyes. After a little hesitation, he said in a deep voice, "Okay." β
Gao Yang now has too many things to deal with, and the domestic stalls must be sorted out first. Now the state is like a deformed person with a thin body, but an extremely thick fist. The force was strong, but there was no follow-up support.
The external expansion has also reached a limit, and there is no longer the strength to continue to rush out. Not to mention the many things that have happened in modern time and space.
Gao Yang agreed to the British's request for mediation, much to the relief of Sir Mack. The originally straight waist instantly bowed down, and a relaxed expression was replaced on his face. The British also didn't want to fight with Gaoyang, the consumption was too great!
"Commander-in-Chief Gao, do you have any specific requirements? As long as it's not beyond the reach of the Dutch, the British Empire will do its best to convince the Dutch. Sir Mack said with some anxiety.
His meaning was clear. Don't overdo it.
Gao Yang frowned slightly, smiled faintly, and said, "First of all, thank you for the sincerity of your government, my request is very simple. β
Standing up from the couch, his body straight, made Jazz Mak-like feel as if he had a pine-like upright taste.
Glancing at Mr. Ambassador, he said, "First of all, the Dutch attacked my battleship for no reason. caused the sinking of the Haiqi and the sacrifice of hundreds of naval officers and men. I demand compensation and a trial of the murderer, is that not too much? β
Sir Mock groaned slightly. Then he said, "Not too much. That's as it should be. "Not too much, of course! Gao Yang's strength is far stronger than that of the Dutch, and his reasonable request will inevitably get a reasonable response!
This is the era of strength. If you have strength, what you say will be listened to. If you don't have the strength, then you'd better keep quiet!
Gao Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile, "The Dutch Navy has a Sumatra ship that is about to be completed, so it's good to compensate me as compensation items." The pension of the officers and men of the Navy still has to be paid by the Dutch, three million pounds. As for the murderers, "I don't need to say the rest of the words, I believe Mr. Ambassador will also understand."
Sir Mack's eyes shrank slightly unconsciously, and after a moment's thought. Shen Sheng said, "It is appropriate to compensate the battleship, and if you pay compensation, there should be no problem." I will convey that to the Dutch Cabinet. As for the Dutch Navy, which caused the misunderstanding"
After a pause, he continued, "All the Dutch naval warships involved in the battle have been sunk. Don't mention the matter of pursuing the murderer, right? β
A faint pride flashed on Gao Yang's face, and he said, "That's my heroic naval officers and men, successful revenge!" Well, the murderer will not be mentioned. However, this war has taken a big toll on me. How are the Dutch going to compensate? β
"Here comes the point!" Jazz Mack's heart tightened. After a long silence. Suddenly, he said, "Commander-in-Chief Gao, you have won the war, and you should ask for a reasonable return. It's just that. I hope you don't ask too much. β
Gao Yang unhurriedly picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said softly to himself, "Let's lose money first, don't do more, 30 million pounds is fine." β
Sir Ma Ke was amused by Gao Yang's words, shook his head slightly and said, "Commander-in-Chief Gao, this is impossible!" The Dutch Cabinet will definitely not give up so much money! β
"Really?" Gao Yang said with a smile: "If you don't have money, then take the land to make up for it." β
"The Dutch cabinet will not agree to sell the land!" Jazz Ma Ke looked straight and said coldly.
"So what else is there to talk about? If you don't want to give anything, then keep fighting! Gao Yang raised his chin dissatisfiedly and said in a deep voice. Between the words, it reveals a strong self-confidence.
"Commander-in-Chief Gao, let's not waste time. Let's talk about it seriously, okay? Sir Ma Ke had already seen Gao Yang's lion open his mouth and said dissatisfiedly.
Gao Yang sat back on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and said indifferently, "Okay, don't go around in circles." I don't want so much money and I don't want to host the colony. β
"Huh?" Sir Mok was slightly stunned, and then his expression became a little dazed. "This is not Gao Yang's style!" He became very curious about what Gao Yang really wanted.
Looking at Mr. Ambassador, who looked nervous, a sly expression suddenly flashed in Gao Yang's eyes, and he said with a smile, "I hope that the Dutch cabinet can open the domestic market to me!" It's truly open, with no strings attached. β
"Huh?" Sir Ma Ke looked at Gao Yang with a surprised expression. What is he going to do? Want to occupy the economy of the Dutch? What goods do you occupy with? The Dutch don't lack anything.
"That's what I asked, and I asked Mr. Ambassador to help convey it to the Dutch Cabinet. Yes, or no, please reply as soon as possible. Gao Yang said in a deep voice.
After receiving the armistice request from the British Cabinet, the Dutch Cabinet finally chose to accept the terms of the armistice in Goyang after intense discussions.
For the Dutch, the most important thing now is to stop fighting as soon as possible! Reassert his rule in the East Indies. Nothing else matters!
The Sumatra was given to it, and it was useless to leave this ship anyway. As for the complete opening of the market, they think the same as the British.
What about letting you in? What can you sell? With such a long distance, the cost of shipping alone increases dramatically! Besides, what is not there here in Europe? Why do you have to buy yours? Can you still force Dutch nationals to buy your goods?
This short war was soon over. Still at the Peace Hotel in the Magic City, Gao Yang and the plenipotentiary of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Governor of the East Indies, Bauma, signed an armistice and peace treaty.
The Japanese mercenaries, who had stirred up a bloody storm in the East Indies, boarded the ship with a lot of loot and returned to their base in Pontianak with a smile on their faces. They left behind a wasteland!
Gao Yang also ordered the navy to redeploy warships and rebuild the navy of the Republic of Lanfang.
After ending the conflict with the Dutch, Gao Yang did not consider it a big war, at most it could only be regarded as a conflict. Gao Yang began to turn his eyes to China, and he had to clean up the guys who hooked up with the British.
But before that, Gao Yang had to go back to modern time and space to find Zhao Chengze to negotiate the matter of President Nzuba. After all, President Nzuba is a very important stronghold for him.
The Peninsula Hotel, Hong Kong, Penthouse Suite. Gao Yang, who was frowning and thinking, was interrupted by a knock on the door.
Shaking his head slightly, he motioned to Stoke to open the door.
Sure enough, it was Zhao Chengze who was smiling all over his face. Gao Yang smiled, got up and shook hands with a few people. Stoke arranged the tea and bowed away.
"Ahem!" Gao Yang sat back on the sofa and coughed slightly in a loud voice. looked at Zhao Chengze seriously, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Zhao, I suddenly found it very difficult to buy something from you." We've been back and forth several times. β
"This" Zhao Chengze's face was slightly stunned, and then he said with a smile, "Mr. Gao, I'm really sorry for the trouble I caused you." β
Gao Yang waved his hand and said indifferently, "I'm not afraid of trouble, but I'm a little annoyed." β
Zhao Cheng keenly felt Gao Yang's impatience, and the corners of his eyes blinked unnaturally. said, "Mr. Gao, I'm sorry for the trouble. β
Gao Yang lit a cigarette, leaned back on the sofa, sorted out his emotions, and said, "It's not that you can't buy these things without you!" I am very dissatisfied with your constant manipulation. "Gao Yang is really a little annoyed.
Shuttle back and forth between the two planes, constantly changing roles. There are things that can never be done all day long, and I don't know how many people in Lu Dao are secretly investigating themselves.
In addition, I actually forgot to get engaged when I was in the United States some time ago! There has been a rift between Zheng Xiujing and him!
However, Gao Yang doesn't even have time to appease his fiancΓ©e now! He had to deal with all sorts of things there on the target plane. There are a lot of troubles here in modern time and space!
This wasn't the life he wanted in the first place. It is his dream to be a rich man and live a rich life of drunken dreams.
But now, Gao Yang feels that he is more tired than when he used to work! I have to be scared all day long, afraid that I don't know when my secret will be exposed, and all kinds of forces in the whole world will salivate at me!
Worried that your family will be harmed!
The pressure in Gao Yang's heart is about to reach a bottleneck, he is just an ordinary person. Zhao Cheng has been dodging and selling weapons, which makes Gao Yang very dissatisfied.
Gao Yang knew that Zhao Cheng wanted to find a way to control it, but Gao Yang's current state was close to exploding!
Even if he has been restraining himself with reason, Gao Yang, who has the origin of the cheat against the sky, is more and more reluctant to continue this boring life! What are you doing all day?
Without too much nonsense, Gao Yang directly pointed out his thoughts. Whether it's okay or not, give me a happy word, it's a big deal for me to change to a big tree! (To be continued......)
