Chapter 396 The Netherlands seeks peace (5)

Li Huamei snorted and said, "Your Excellency, our China-China negotiations are unacceptable."

Matt Sokol said: "So why are you negotiating with us and preparing for military operations? Please give me a reasonable explanation."

Li Huamei smiled and said, "The explanation is very simple. If our negotiations are successful, of course our Chinese army will enter Batavia. But at that time, everyone was kind and singing songs into Batavia City. But if we couldn't agree, then this army is the landing force that attacked Batavia, and we will use artillery to open Batavia City. Do you think my explanation is reasonable?"

Matt Sokol also changed color a little and said, "Is this explanation a threat to us?"

Li Huamei smiled and said, "Whether it is a danger, it depends on how you choose."

Matt Sokol nodded and said, "Okay, I know, then I hope to stop negotiations now and let them talk tomorrow."

Li Huamei also nodded and said, "Okay, I wish you all a good rest tonight."

That night, Black came to visit the Dutch representative again, but this time he did not meet a good face. Matt Sokol was questioned by the head-on. Because Li Huamei said that it was the Chinese-British Allied Forces that attacked Sri Lanka, so Matt Sokol had to suspect that Britain's intention was to act as a pavilion adjuster, while also seizing Sri Lanka in the Netherlands.

Black did not refuse to ask Matt Sokol's question, and Bijing could not deny the fact, but he still explained that Britain and China are all allying, and the Netherlands sent such a huge fleet to Asia, which naturally aroused the suspicion of the British side. Therefore, it is also a very reasonable choice to unite with China and attack Sri Lanka.

After listening to Black's explanation, Matt Sokol was silent for a moment before saying, "Okay, we can not talk about the matter in Sri Lanka for now, just talk about this negotiation. China must drive us out of Batavia. We are very familiar with this condition. Can you, Britain deal with it and let China take back this condition? Other matters can be negotiated."

Black shook his head and said, "When I came, I had met the commander of China. The result was that China would never give in to the Batavia issue. Therefore, we can do nothing about this matter, and I advise you to accept China's conditions."

Before Matt Sokol could not help but say, Winter could not help it, saying, "What are these words? Didn't you say yesterday that you hope to unite with us? Is it because you want to cooperate with us and to advise us to give up Batavia."

Black was also a little annoyed. Why are these people ignorant? The UK can deal with China and is willing to negotiate. It is very good. It is still ignorant of advancing and retreating. But I still suppressed the fire and said, "Don't you see it yet? China has regarded the Nanyang region as its sphere of influence and will never allow other countries to intervene in this region. Our UK cannot do it, and you and the Netherlands cannot do it either. Therefore, China will never give in to the issue of Batavia. So I advise you to accept China's conditions, otherwise you will be waiting to fight against the Chinese army."

Witzger said angrily: "Okay, then we will leave all day and fight to the death with China in Batavia."

Black sneered: "In the battle to the death, I can guarantee that you must be the ones who die, not China, and now Batavia, what ability does it have to fight against the Chinese army."

Ovemas was still stubborn and said, "Even if we don't have the ability now, we will send people back to the Netherlands to dispatch troops immediately. I don't believe that I can't beat China."

Black said: "Not to mention whether the Netherlands can send such a fleet to Asia now. Even if such a fleet can be organized, it will take at least two years to reach Asia. By then, the city of Batavia will probably be full of Chinese people, and a fleet will be sent. Can you defeat China? How big is the Netherlands and how many people are; how big is China and how many people are, can the two countries compete? How far is Nanyang from China and how far is it from the Netherlands? Do you have a chance of winning?"

These words left the Dutch representatives speechless. After a long time, Matt Sokol said: "Okay, General Black, I will seriously consider your advice. Thank you for your suggestions."

Black also nodded and said, "I also know that Batavia is the place you have been to for thirty years. It is indeed not easy to give up Batavia, but now it is also the general trend. The era of China's seclusion and self-defense has come true. Now China has begun to expand into the ocean, but the earth is vast. Don't limit your attention to this area. In addition to Batavia, there are many places to plunder."

The next day, China and the Netherlands started negotiations again. Although they had exchanged with Black yesterday, Matt Sokol still did not give up and hoped to save Batavia, so he bargained again. Although Li Huamei allowed the Netherlands to propose, she still refused to give in. After a long talk, the two sides still had no consensus reached. Matt Sokol finally gave up completely and knew that it was impossible for China to make any concessions.

Finally, Matt Sokol said: "Okay, we have already understood your conditions, but this matter is too important, and we cannot make a decision here. We must notify the domestic parliament and make the decision. Therefore, we hope that China can wait for the Dutch parliament to make a decision."

Li Huamei snorted and said, "When the Dutch Parliament makes a decision, I'm afraid the daylily will be cold. Our military operations will not be postponed. There are still four days left, so you can do it."

Although it was the first time that Matt Sokol heard the Spanish translation of "The Daylily is Cold", he still understood what Li Huamei meant. In fact, Matt Sokol was not confident about letting the Chinese army wait for the result of the Dutch Parliament, so he said: "Okay, but this also needs to be discussed by the board of directors of the Dutch East India Company, so it will take at least one month before we can make a decision. You have to wait for a slaughter."

Li Huamei said: "We won't wait for a day. In four days, the fleet will set off as scheduled."

Matt Sokol said: "But time is too tight. Four days are only enough for us to return to Batavia. Even if the board of directors has a result, it is too late to arrive in Brunei to inform you."

Li Huamei smiled and shook her head, saying, "Actually, things are not that complicated. Your board of directors will have a result, and there is no need to rush to Brunei, because no matter what the result is, our fleet will arrive in Batavia. If your board of directors discusses and agrees, open the city gate and welcome the Chinese army into the city. We can celebrate peace in the city. If we don't agree, then set up cannons on the city wall and prepare for the battle. We will go into Batavia, so I think four days are enough."

At this point, Matt Sokol had nothing to say, so he nodded and said, "Well, since that's the case, we won't stay in Brunei for a long time and will return to Batavia immediately, but I hope you can arrange it immediately and I will meet General Trump."

Li Huamei nodded and said, "Okay, I will make arrangements right away."

Matt Sokol insists on meeting Trump, on the one hand, to understand Trump's situation, and on the other hand, to understand the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army from Trump. Until now, Matt Sokol still has a glimmer of hope for using war to preserve Batavia, but he is not very familiar with military affairs, so he hopes to confirm from Trump, after all, he still trusts himself.

But Matt Sokol didn't know that Trump was also angry now, because it was an evaluation report of the Dutch East India Company that belittled the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army. Therefore, the Dutch parliament decided to send a fleet to Nanyang. As a result, after arriving in Asia, Trump realized that China was simply an impossible opponent. At least in Asia, the Netherlands could not beat China. After all, this place was China's home court, and he was unlucky to become a prisoner of the Chinese army. Of course, this tone became bigger and bigger in Trump's heart.

As a result, after seeing Matt Sokol, before Matt Sokol could speak, Trump immediately scolded him for being scolded. Because of the evaluation report against the Dutch East India Company, Matt Sokol could not even raise his head. After finally waiting for Trump to curse for a while, Matt Sokol found a loophole and asked Trump whether Batavia could still hold on.

After cursing, Trump also felt a little resentful, but after hearing Matt Sokol's question, Trump became popular again. Do he still want to fight at this time? In fact, whether the two sides fight or not has much to do with Trump. But the problem is that Trump is now a prisoner of the Chinese army. If the negotiations are successful, Trump still hopes to be released by the Chinese army. Once the negotiations fail, he probably will never be able to return to China in this life. Seeing that Matt Sokol has not given up on the fight, Trump is of course anxious, and he answered Matt Sokol and scolded him again.

Although he was scolded by Trump and his face was dull, he also got the answer from Trump, so he was considered to have gained something. So Matt Sokol and other representatives boarded the boat in the afternoon, left Brunei, and returned to Batavia.

On the next day, Li Huamei took the fleet and set off, but not to Batavia, but to the Strait of Malacca to guard. Because the Chinese army was also worried that the Dutch would simply give up Batavia, burn Batavia and flee back to the Netherlands with their property. This would be a little more than worth the loss for China. Therefore, the Dutch's retreat must be cut off.
