Chapter 971: It's a mule or a horse, pull it out for a walk
Faced with Ouyang Shuo's sudden killer move, Shanda and the others were obviously a little caught off guard. Ocean trade with the West occupies an important position in their territory, and if it is blocked, it will be a fatal blow to the territory's finances.
The meaning of Ouyang Shuo's words is very clear, only by cooperating with Daxia can he "pass the inspection", otherwise ASEAN merchant ships will not want to enter the Mediterranean.
Shanda and the others looked solemn and said, "King Xia, a few of us need to negotiate separately. ”
"Please!"
Ouyang Shuo was full of confidence, since Shanda and the others enjoyed the huge profits brought by ocean trade, they were reluctant to give up this piece of fat.
The great shipping routes that the Great Xia Dynasty painstakingly operated could sometimes become bargaining chips at the negotiating table.
…………
In a reception room next door, the four of Shanda got together.
"What now?" Lord Tirad of Siam asked.
The four of them looked at each other, they hadn't thought that Ouyang Shuo's attitude would be so tough before they came.
Mo Angyin, the lord of the country of Pi, said: "Yes, or you should sign it." ”
Among the nine ASEAN countries, the country is located in the northwest corner, which is already somewhat outside the ASEAN system. In addition, the country is adjacent to the Indian Ocean, and the income from western trade is one of the main financial revenues of the Moangyin territory.
Once trade is blocked, the consequences are unimaginable.
"Yes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves." Tillard echoed.
Shanda was a little worried, and said, "How should we explain it to Uace?" ”
"We're just business cooperation, and nothing else, we can't just put white money because of face, right?" Mo Aung Yin's attitude is very firm.
Seeing this, Shanda gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then it's decided." ”
From beginning to end, the three of them did not ask Abdul, the lord of the mud country, for his opinion.
In reality, the mud country is one of the richest countries in the world because of its amazing oil and gas reserves, but in the game, oil and gas are basically useless.
The mud country is a small country, but it is a miniature country, and the population is small, where there is no right to speak.
…………
After the discussion was settled, the four returned to the negotiating table.
Seeing this, Ouyang Shuo said with a smile: "Have you discussed? In fact, their conversation in the cubicle had already reached Ouyang Shuo's ears without a word.
Shanda and the others nodded, and said in a way that wanted to cover up: "King Xia is generous and willing to share the dividends of ocean trade with us, as friends, how can we refuse, it's just to discuss some small things." ”
"Well, we're friends." Ouyang Shuo didn't break it down.
In the following negotiations, Shanda and others did not make any unreasonable demands, and basically signed the "Trans-Pacific Trade Partnership Cooperation Framework" with Daxia one by one in accordance with the previously drafted terms.
The specific details of the agreement will naturally be discussed in detail by professionals.
After signing, Ouyang Shuo said with a smile: "This is a great joy and should be shared with more people." Daxia invited a number of media to prepare for a press conference, and asked everyone to move. ”
"What?!"
Shanda and the others were caught off guard again.
Ouyang Shuo's face sank, and he said, "What, you don't want to go?" ”
"Go, go!"
The smiles of Shanda and others were even worse than crying, and they could not imagine what the consequences of this elimination would be if it spread in ASEAN.
But at this point, there was no way back.
At the press conference, seeing Shanda and others smiling forcefully, cooperating with the reporter's questions against their will, Ouyang Shuo was secretly refreshed in his heart, and when the relevant reports came out, they couldn't deny it.
************
The agreement was finalized, and early the next morning, the Royal Fleet set sail again.
Almost at the same time, the news that Shanda and others had signed the "Trans-Pacific Trade Partnership Cooperation Framework" with Daxia quickly spread among ASEAN countries, fueled by Black Snake Guard.
Padang City, Java.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Wu Aisi's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Those bastards in Shanda, eating inside and out, really think of themselves as the dogs of Great Xia. ”
"Hmph, they're afraid of Great Xia, but I'm not afraid." A trace of blood flashed on Wuaisi's face, and he said, "Someone! ”
"In!"
"Inform the Padang fleet that there is a mission!"
"Yes!"
…………
Passing through the Strait of Malacca, the Royal Fleet entered the Indian Ocean.
Along the waters near the country of Java, the fleet headed south. On the Yuhuang Ship, Ouyang Shuo had already taken out a map, and his face was full of expectation.
"Lemurian Civilization Ruins Exploration Map": With this map, players can trigger the corresponding story quests in the sea near the Lemurian civilization ruins.
If nothing else, the mainland of Lemuria is located between Java and Australia.
For this reason, Ouyang Shuo specially instructed the Admiral of the Royal Fleet to send out the Red Horse Boat and the Ship to expand the search area as much as possible, in order to trigger the plot mission.
After four days of sailing, there was still no movement.
Seeing that he was about to arrive in Australia, Ouyang Shuo couldn't help but be a little disappointed. "It shouldn't be, my current blessing is so deep, can I still miss it?" Ouyang Shuo was a little depressed.
Just then, an alarm sounded ahead.
The Yu Huang was in the center of the fleet, guarded by the group, so Ouyang Shuo didn't know what was going on. Fortunately, there is a communication conch produced in Atlantis City, and it is easy for warships to communicate with each other.
Soon, Gan Ning came to report.
"What's going on?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
"Your Majesty, the Red Horse Boat in front of you sent out an alarm signal, and then you lost contact."
Ouyang Shuo's eyes froze, and he asked, "Someone attacked us?" ”
"The Admiral has sent a warship to check it out." Gan Ning did not give a positive answer.
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "Send the mimic aircraft out as well." "Ouyang Shuo's perception is very keen, since he entered the Indian Ocean, he felt that the fleet was faintly being stared at.
"No!"
Seeing this, Gan Ning's expression also became serious.
At this moment, there was a violent shelling sound from the front, "Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
There was no need to scout, the royal fleet was undoubtedly attacked.
Ouyang Shuo was calm, and said to Gan Ning: "Let it go, this king also wants to see the results of the training of the royal fleet." Whether it's a mule or a horse, it's up to the battle. ”
"No!"
Gan Ning saluted and turned to leave.
Ouyang Shuo looked at the sea in front of him, his eyes were leisurely, "Is it Java?" "At the moment, the only country that has the courage and motivation to attack the Royal Fleet of Great Xia is Java.
Ouyang Shuo's guess was right, the one who ambushed the royal fleet was the Badong fleet under the command of the lord of Java, Uaisi. In order to eliminate the impact of the Trans-Pacific Trade Partnership Cooperation Framework, Uace chose the most direct and effective response.
As long as the Great Xia Royal Fleet is defeated, the whole situation will be reversed.
