"Oh, are you sure about Mr. Marcot?" The fat gentleman's eyes lit up, if Marcut had already agreed to this plan, then he could have pushed the boat for personal favors, but he didn't know how much credibility there was in the other party's words.

"Hehe, don't tell lies in front of real people, Mr. Marcot is a little hesitant, he thinks that this will be strongly opposed by the Southern legislators and cannot be implemented, so he needs to think about it." Wang Yi shrugged, he didn't want to hide it, not to mention that he didn't expect this plan to be approved by the other party, he just wanted to give the other party a psychological preparation first, and it would be much easier to retreat.

"Oh, that's right, I think so, Commander Farraghu has made it clear that Angamos Island and Heron Island are both indispensable territories of the Alliance Navy, Titanya Island is too important for the city-state of Johor, and it is difficult for the Councillors of Siam to give an account to the people of Siam Empty Country, so I personally think that unless I give up these places, I am afraid that even if I am willing to help Lord Wang, it will be difficult to get approval in the Foreign Affairs Committee." In his heart, the fat gentleman slowly put forward his opinion: "It seems that Mr. Marcot and I are of similar thoughts, and if you can make some concessions, I think the situation may be much better."

Finely twisting the neck of the goblet, with a contemplative look on his face, Wang Yi did not immediately respond to the other party's suggestion, although he had achieved his goal, but Wang Wei did not intend to stop there, and was able to maximize the interests of his own side until the last moment before the signing of the treaty to be a qualified diplomat, this creed has always been the criterion that Wang Wei believes in, although the other party proposed some islands that were not within the negotiation bottom line that he had demarcated for himself, but Wang Wei was not ready to give up the final struggle.

"Mr. Martin, there are many things that you can't be sure of success without doing it, whether the Marbun Islands are as important as you imagined for the alliance or the southern parties, especially those islands that have never been developed, instead of letting those islands be abandoned there in obscurity, why can't we let the people of the West join this development process?" Wang Yi's smile was full of temptation: "Except for those so-called countries and city-states that have sovereignty over the Marbun Islands, as far as I can see, there is not much interest in the islands within the alliance, and only three of the seven members of the Foreign Affairs Committee are members of the southern coast, and I believe that Mr. Martin will definitely be able to help us achieve the desired result."

"Hehe, Lord Wang, you seem to have overlooked a problem, these islands are a matter of sovereignty, not anything else, whether it is development or utilization, this does not involve the transfer of sovereignty, but what you proposed is a cession, this is a sovereignty issue, do you say that the members of the committee will easily agree?" Shaking his head, the fat gentleman drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, and retorted with a little sarcasm.

"No, no, Mr. Martin, don't talk about the issue of sovereignty, if you really want to dig deeper, this issue of sovereignty is difficult to delineate, as far as I know, most of the inhabitants of the Marbun Islands belong to the indigenous people, they do not belong to any of the countries in your South Sea Alliance, and even the race is not the same, I think the alliance has included the Marvin Islands in your possession for more than a hundred years, and those indigenous people do not seem to recognize the sovereignty of your so-called city-states and countries over the land they have been living in, they still live a self-sufficient life, and even moreIt doesn't seem like news that many officials in the alliance have colluded with slave hunters and slave traders at sea to kidnap them as slaves, does it? Is this what you call a manifestation of sovereignty?" In the face of the other party's rebuttal, Wang Yi unceremoniously ridiculed each other, the combination of rigidity and softness is the king, and the same is true of diplomacy, and blind indulgence and pleading often bring more negative effects.

Wang Yi's counterattack made the fat gentleman speechless for a while, although he also hated this kind of despicable behavior, but this kind of behavior does exist in the alliance, and it is quite prevalent, which is probably one of the main reasons why some parliamentarians are firmly opposed to the cession of the Marbun Islands, of course, the reasons for their opposition will appear in a high-sounding appearance.

After a period of silence, the fat gentleman avoided the topic: "Mr. Wang Yi, your language is very sharp, but I am afraid that the members of the Foreign Affairs Committee will not accept your point of view, and you must know this."

"Of course, that's why I asked Mr. Martin for help, and of course we can also make some concessions, but I don't think that Mr. Martin said that Heron Island is the territory of the Alliance Navy, the Alliance Navy never seems to have gone there, I think if Mr. Martin can help us with this, His Royal Highness King Qin and I will be very grateful." Wang Yi didn't want to dwell on anything more in words, these theoretical terms could not be used as a basis for changing the other party's attitude, and the two printed materials were quietly placed on the table in front of the two.

With a shake in his heart, the fat man's eyes quickly swept over the two paper prints on the desk, one of the prints was very familiar with the specifications and style, and the numbers flashing on it were even more moving, and the other one did not escape the man's keen gaze, and the seal of the First Industrial and Commercial Bank of the South was very clear.

"Mr. Wang, what do you mean by that?" The obese man pretended to be angry, but in his heart he was thinking about how much he could get by these two checks, except for the necessary persuasion costs.

"Laughing, I know that Mr. Martin is not short of these things, Mr. Martin values the traditional friendship between the alliance and our Western Xinjiang, but Mr. Martin needs to convince your friends, so I took the liberty of it.Here are 300,000 Imperial Gold Coin Bank Cashier's Checks, each of 150,000, one is from the Alliance Commercial Bank, and the other is from the First Industrial and Commercial Bank of our Western Xinjiang, you can withdraw and use it at any time." Wang Yu didn't care about the other party's expression, before that, the intelligence department had provided him with sufficient information, and it could be said that he already knew the surname of this person well.

"Haha, Mr. Wang is really cheerful, I think it will be difficult for me and my friends to refuse your kindness, I think everything will be beautiful, you just wait for the good news." The two checks got into the waist pocket of the fat gentleman in the blink of an eye, and the fat face full of smiles looked so obscene and ugly, forcibly suppressing the disdain in his heart, Wang Yi showed a smile that was more cordial and satisfied than ever, "Okay, it's time for us to rest and enjoy, boss, send the fresh goods prepared for Mr. Martin!"

"Well done!" Wu Feng, who was high-fived repeatedly, read the report carefully, and his fingers moved on the map of the Great South Seas placed on the desk, "Vergne Island is a natural military port, and we have a foothold here that will enable our naval fleet to compete for the position of the master of the Great South Seas, Princesa Island, haha, Wang Yi, this guy is not simple, he can actually convince the Nanyang people to give up this island to us, I can't believe how he did it?!" Princesa, it will be a dazzling pearl in the Great South Sea!"

"Your Highness, don't underestimate Egret Island, although it is not big here, its location is too important, it is directly inserted into the middle of the Marbun Islands, less than two hundred nautical miles away from the naval headquarters of the South Seas Alliance---- the port of Johor and their most important naval base, the Changi military port on St. Conis Island, which can become an outpost of our navy!" It was not only Wu Feng who was excited, Lei Cangpu's dark face was flushed with red, which was enough to prove his mood at this time. He was returning to Qingyang to report on his work and report on the construction of the naval fleet, and he did not expect that his conversation with Wang Yi before leaving would become a reality in just over ten days, and the harvest was far beyond what he had originally imagined.

Glancing at the other party with a smile, Wu Feng touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Cangpu, remember not to spread these words, the meaning of your words has already regarded the Alliance Navy as the enemy of our Western Frontier Navy, and if it reaches the ears of outsiders, it will make us very passive."

"Your Highness, now is the best time for the development of our Western Navy, the South Sea Alliance is forced by our military pressure on land and has to shrink the defensive circle, and the western part of the Peninsula Alliance is busy confronting the Pasha people with their allies West Oran, it is estimated that the war between them will continue, although the intensity will decrease, but this will greatly hinder the investment of the West Alliance West and the West Oran people in the navy, if we want to become the dominant player in the Great South Ocean and expand our influence to the West, now is the right time, if we wait for the West Peninsula Alliance and the West Oran Kingdom to catch their breath, then we will no longer be able to find such a good opportunity." .” Lei Cangpu's eyes flashed with a fanatical light, Xijiang now has such a rare opportunity, whether it is in the surrounding situation or the financial foundation, it is enough to make the Western Xinjiang Navy grow rapidly and play a greater role, if he can be lucky enough to witness the glory of the Western Xinjiang Navy, it is undoubtedly the favor of the goddess of fate.

"Cangpu, I can understand your feelings, do you think that I still don't pay enough attention to the navy now? Many people in the Military Affairs Administration already think that I attach too much importance to the navy and squeeze out the funds that should belong to the army, so that their military expansion plan has to be put on hold, but now that we have successfully obtained several technologies, and the shipbuilding plan has been officially put into practice, I hope that in the near future I will be able to see warships flying the Jinpeng flag cruising in the Great South Sea, showing their heroic appearance." Wu Feng shook his head slightly, saying that people's hopes are endless, and he can already be called a preference for the navy, but this Lei Cangpu is still not satisfied, and always wants to take out some more things from his pocket, and the officials of the army are already scratching their stomachs.
