Chapter 1114

The delicate fragrance wafts from the tea cup on the conference table, which makes people feel peaceful.

When he reached an agreement on patent fees and extradition, Xiao Ming threw out another important topic in the talks, which is the issue of war compensation.

The Empire wasted a lot of ammunition in this battle in Nanyang. These ammunition are all real gold and silver. It's impossible for him to pay for them all.

Brukla's face, in many topics, this is undoubtedly humiliating, but he understands that this topic is unavoidable.

In order to reach a truce agreement and to avoid the continued loss of their colonial interests in South America and Africa, they had to accept it.

"And how much war reparations does your majesty want?" Brooke's voice seemed to come out of his throat.

Xiao Ming's expression remained calm all the time. "The war compensation includes land and money. In terms of money, you need to pay a total of 30 million pounds of compensation. As for how to distribute the 30 million pounds of compensation among your five countries, it's your own business. "

Brooke felt a cold sweat behind his words. The compensation of 30 million pounds is not a small amount, which is a heavy burden on the British finance. Fortunately, the compensation is shared by the five countries. If so, it will not be so difficult and the price is relatively fair.

"Thirty million, we accept it!" Brooke repeatedly promised that he knew the emperor very well. If he continued to bargain, the price might be raised higher.

Xiao Ming raised his eyebrows. In his opinion, the negotiation was surprisingly smooth, which shows that these Western powers were scared by him.

He motioned to Qian Dafu. At this time, Qian took out a map of the world and spread it on the negotiation table.

Brooke frowned when he saw the map. He immediately thought of something and refused: "Your Majesty, we in Britain will never cede any territory. If your majesty insists on this, then your majesty is ready to step over the bodies of the British and occupy Britain."

Xiao Ming glanced at Brooke. As he expected, the British are very sensitive to their native land. He said with a smile, "I haven't finished yet. What's your hurry? Your British territory is small and you don't have many resources. I really don't like it. What I want is part of your overseas colonies, which you robbed. Can't you give us a little? "

when Brooke calmed down, he looked at the map of the world and found that there were many dots on the colonies of America and Africa.

It's not just England, France, the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal that have such dots in their colonies.

”The red dot you see is the land we need, which is nothing to your vast colonies in Africa and America. "Xiao Ming said slyly.

He does not want much land, but it is equivalent to sesame on a cake, but the sesame he wants is not simple.

Because these are all areas where mineral resources are concentrated in America and Africa, controlling these strongholds means controlling most of the resources.

As for other wild territories, they are not worth much. After all, the Empire's population is limited and there is too much arable land.

Moreover, the empire is now ready to take the path of an industrial country. They want to get cheap agricultural products from industrial products.

This means that as long as they sell industrial products, farmers all over the world are working for the Empire.

Brooke breathed a sigh of relief. When they came here, they also considered the situation, and he was authorized.

Compared with his own idea, the Empire's asking price was not high this time. He promised, "if it's just a small range, there's no problem."

Xiao Ming burst into laughter and said, "if so, the negotiation between us will be over perfectly. "

Brooke stood up happily," and hoped that his Majesty would sign a treaty with him to stop attacking Britain and its colonies. "

Pang Yukun then handed Brooke a treaty in Chinese and English, because Britain basically agreed to the conditions of the Empire, and he didn't have to change the treaty.

"The Treaty of India?" Brooke took it and looked at it carefully.

The content of this treaty is similar to that of the negotiation just now. It requires Britain to formally recognize the occupation of Australia and India by the Chinese Empire. Of course, the most important thing is the armistice clause.

Both Australia and India are now in the hands of the Chinese Empire. It is a fact whether they admit it or not. After carefully reading the agreement, he signed the treaty.

Xiao Ming took over the treaty and also signed it.

At the end of the British negotiations, Brooke didn't want to stay in the conference room for a minute. He pushed the door with the ambassador.

Xiao Yi then asked: "father, the British are so rebellious, why not set the amount of British compensation on the compensation to punish them."

”This is the deep-seated reason you need to understand. If the empire is appointed, the five countries will have a deeper resentment towards the Empire. But if they are given the allocation, they will fight over how much their country will compensate. "

Xiao Yi suddenly realized, "in this way, they want to alliance will have another obstacle."Xiao Ming nodded slightly.

Just then, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and rod came in, and negotiations with the Netherlands began.

Similar to Brooke's requirements, Xiao Ming also listed similar conditions. The only difference is that Rhode hopes to continue the rubber trade with the Empire.

Although the Empire now had its own rubber plantation and rubber grass planting base, the rapid development of the Empire's industry required a large scale of rubber, which was gradually unable to meet the domestic demand.

However, compared with the expensive price of rubber in the past, Xiao Ming took advantage of the power of this war to severely suppress the price of Dutch rubber.

Even the price of Dutch rubber is lower than that of domestic rubber.

In the end, rod left with a sigh. Natural rubber is a profitable business. Even if the price is low, they still can't refuse the rubber trade.

Because the whole of Europe needs less rubber than the Empire needs.

Send off Rhode, then Spain and Portugal, and like Britain and Holland, the negotiations with the two were equally smooth.

But when it came to France, for the first time, the negotiations were in trouble.

"Your Majesty, our consul general, Andre, has refused to pay war indemnity unless the Empire guarantees that it will not attack East Indochina. "Henry was tough.

However, his words changed, "Andre is a fool. His arrogance will bring disaster to both countries. I hope your majesty can support me to drive Andre out of power. Then I will agree to all the conditions today. "

Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun look at each other, and they show interesting eyes.
