Chapter 284
Queensland, Red Fort
"True Mom, I wonder if we lost, or the soldiers in front were lying about military affairs? These damn Dutch guys don't know which string was wrong. They dare to make such incredible requests after being defeated. Is this what you call the businessman's thinking?"
Li Fushou shook the negotiation text in his hand, feeling a little amused and crying. A slight anger in his heart was flooding, and the storm might change significantly at any time.
Sitting on the sofa next to him was Professor Allen Johnson, a private policy consultant, who took the Dutch negotiation text and looked at it, with a noticeable disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Look, this is the standard attribute of those Dutch merchants. The lion opens his mouth and asks for the price everywhere and pays it back on the spot. This will not be an easy peace negotiation." Professor Allen Johnson answered calmly.
"What did the Dutch rely on if he lost on the battlefield?"
Professor Alan Johnson shook his head and clearly disagreed with the Earl's statement; "Haha... the peace agreement is not signed for a day, so you cannot judge the victory or loss by war. The Dutch still has gambling money to turn the tables at any time. For them, instead of accepting a shameful peace agreement, it is better to grit your teeth and continue to fight the war. The situation on the battlefield changes constantly, and the Dutch may not lose. The worst case is that at present, it cannot be broken anymore, so the psychological expectations may be higher. After all, peace negotiations are the business of both sides. As long as you grit your teeth and disagree, it will be a tug-of-war of verbal wars."
"It's ridiculous!"
"I'm sorry, this is the reality. It's not easy to get benefits from the Dutch. Although they are now in a downturn, their bones are still very hard."
Speaking of this, Allen Johnson shrugged helplessly and took the Cuban cigar handed over by Li Fushou. After cutting off the eggplant hat, Professor Allen Johnson took the initiative to light both of them and enjoyed it face to face.
"His Excellent Lord, as your private policy consultant, I have to point out that you have also made a great mistake in this matter, conveying the misinformation to the Dutch, which has led to their unrealistic and over-demanding desires."
"Oh... Mr. Professor, what are you referring to?"
"All, Lord, Lord." Allen Johnson seemed to be resentful of the failure to seek his opinion on the dispatch of the negotiating mission;
After all, I am still your private policy consultant. If you don’t ask me about such a big deal, do you really want me as a private policy consultant?
This is really a fault with Li Fushou. He did not take this casually appointed private policy adviser seriously. He happily considered the negotiating delegation to Singapore and win the fruits of the war as soon as possible, and had already forgotten Allen Johnson.
Of course, I can't say this, but I need to explain it a little, and then I will send out the appointment letter of the private policy consultant as soon as possible, so don't make any more trouble.
The problem is that Li Fushou appointed him casually, but everyone below took it as real.
What a big man said is a decree. You can't brag like an ordinary person if you drink too much and you won't be responsible for any responsibility after you sober up.
That won't work, don't bring people like this.
The smell of a resentful woman was almost flooding, and Li Fushou couldn't help laughing. He took a sip of the Cuban cigar and let the strong and mellow tobacco mist spread; "Professor Alan, I'm really too hasty."
A faint sentence soothed the heavy resentment in Allen Johnson's heart, and felt that his heart was smooth and his thoughts were fulfilled. The 36,000 pores in his body revealed a feeling of comfort. This feeling of being respected is really good.
It is completely useless for ordinary people to say this, but this is what the noble Earl of Queensland said, and the weight is very different.
In an era when feudal monarchs were everywhere, sentient beings were born unequal.
The Count, who possesses the noble bloodline of the ancient oriental royal family, is undoubtedly a feudal lord who dominates the country. Although his titles are not as loud as the top nobles such as the Grand Duke of Hesse, the Duke of Norfolk, and the King of Hanover, his real power and huge economic strength are not inferior at all.
Europeans view aristocrats from the perspective of family origin, territorial strength and past family glory, which is very realistic.
No matter how high the title of down-and-out nobles is, they are useless. There are a lot of great nobles who have no territories in Europe with the title of duke and no territories. No one takes these great nobles seriously. They are just beggars with noble identities.
On the contrary, even if the title of aristocrat is not that high but strong, it will be widely respected.
The Earl of Queensland is top-notch in all aspects, from the noble bloodline of the family to the strength of the territory. After arriving at the high school, he can attract a large number of talented heroes from Europe to be willing to drive them.
That's right, the great nobles are so awesome.
The Count was undoubtedly a great nobleman. Looking back at the beginning, King Henry II of England was the Earl of Anjou in France. This suave Count often had a gorse flower on the brim of the hat. Therefore, the dynasty founded by King Henry II of England was called the "Anjou Dynasty" or the "Grse Flower Dynasty".
Princess William Minna, the young daughter of King William III of the Netherlands, was only two years old and was regarded as the crown prince of the kingdom. Once the old king made any mistakes, he immediately succeeded to the throne to become the new Queen of the Netherlands. He was widely accepted by the kingdom subjects and respected by the royal families in Europe.
Although the legitimate son of the Earl of Queensland has not been born yet, he has been regarded as the young master by all forces in the Red River Valley in his mother's belly. No one can take over this noble status. Therefore, people in today's era are born unequal, and if they want to start at a high level, they must be a reincarnation expert.
"Mr. Professor, let me tell you in detail, I'll listen."
"Great Lord, please forgive my blunt words." Alan Johnson put down the cigar in his hand, stood up slightly and bowed to salute. The professor, who has always been a stinky tongue, probably wouldn't have anything good to say below.
"It's okay, tell me." Li Fushou had full psychological expectations.
With verbal assurance, Professor Allen Johnson said without hesitation; "Your decision-making mistakes have made too many mistakes, fully exposing the extreme childishness and immaturity. When it comes to seeing this, the Dutch must catch it and take a bite. As for whether you can eat it, that is another question.
Eat one more bite and you can earn anything, and you can’t lose anything if you can’t eat it. It’s just a waste of saliva.
First, you should not rush to agree to the Dutch's demand for peace negotiations.
Instead, we should intentionally delay and show strong intention to aggression, and at least we should not rush to agree to negotiations before completing the strategic goal of destroying the Dutch landing troops on Shangri-La Island.
Once the goal of destroying the Dutch landing forces is completed, Shangri-La Island will become an unnegotiable issue. The Dutch respects and recognizes that the ownership of the Earl's rights to Shangri-La Island is a prerequisite for peaceful negotiations.
If you don’t agree to this, there is no way to start with the peaceful negotiations.
Instead of the current situation, the two sides were caught in a protracted dispute, fighting verbal battles for a little territorial interests, causing the negotiations to fall into a deadlock.
Secondly, a negotiation team with up to 27 people can show your desire and urgency for peace. Wu Mozhou and Fan Zhongzhai are both heavyweights in the Red River Valley. The Dutch cannot see unless they are blind people. Obviously they are not.
Third, it is inappropriate to agree to be mainly British, France, Germany, Spain, Belgium and other people participate in joint mediation. There are too many people and talks and inconsistent interests, which has a great involvement in peace negotiations. The fewer foreign missions participating in mediation, the better.
Because our advantages on the battlefield are at least reluctant in terms of attitude, we must make demands on the negotiation location and negotiation envoys, and come up with strict negotiation preconditions.
This way
When we reluctantly accept the mediation plan, all parties involved in the mediation can feel our kindness. This is a big and small benefit. We can be respected and grateful to all parties on the mediation, and now there is nothing left.
The Dutch negotiations will significantly lower their psychological expectations and will not make so many unbelievable demands. Changing to the wind is the most familiar trick for businessmen to play.
Fourthly, we know that the military operations in Borneo are in full swing, oh... I want to interrupt here. I still know the relevant news from the newspaper. As your private policy consultant, I do not have a government internal reference to consider the policy direction and make rational policy suggestions. This is a deep regret.
Back to the topic
Military operations in Borneo are being carried out on a large scale, and immigration plans are being carried out simultaneously. It is really hard for me to understand why we are eager to negotiate at this time?
Wouldn't it be better to push this time to next year or the year after?
Since we have participated in the negotiations, why not raise the conditions more? There are Chinese immigrants everywhere in the East Indies. These are the interests of ethnic groups that we need to focus on, such as Sumatra, Bali, Lanfangguo, Madura, Sulawesi and even Java. Why don’t we mention such requirements?
Tsarist Russia regarded itself as a Catholic protector, and could use this as an excuse to extend his hand into the Ottoman territory to protect all believers of Catholicism, including the Bulgarians, Armenians, the Caucasus region and the vast territory of Yugoslavia. For this reason, it even started a war and gained practical benefits.
As a Chinese immigrant of the same language, the same race and bloodline, the noble Earl of Queensland can also appear as a protector of overseas Chinese, thereby exercising his legitimate rights and interests. This will not only greatly enhance your prestige, but also give you a legitimate reason to interfere in the East Indies issue at any time. It is concerned about the rights of Chinese immigrants. This stands at the commanding heights of morality and justice. Why not capture such a powerful weapon?
If you can't think of it, you can consult, I think this is a very valuable quality.
You don’t know anything, you go to negotiate with silly and silly. Who would you miss me if you don’t?"
After a deep and profound words, Li Fushou's face turned slightly red, which was so embarrassing.
How to say it?
If you are childish and immature, you will be tactful and you will say that you are stupid...
"Cough cough..." Li Fushou coughed twice to relieve the embarrassment. He didn't have the awareness of spitting on his face and was playing with politics. Take a shower and go to bed!
He said sincerely, "Professor Allen, thank you very much for your outspokenness. Before introducing major policies in the future, I will definitely ask you for advice, oh... By the way, you will get references to comprehensive political, economic and military aspects. Just keep it confidential, ahem... Then what strategy should we adopt in the next step to protect our interests to the greatest extent?"
"It's very simple, find the answer from history." Allen Johnson fully felt respect, and he felt as comfortable as eating popsicles in his heart for 39 days, and his tone became tactful;
"Great Lord, you are the most outstanding young leader I have ever met. Due to lack of experience, you don't have to worry about some small flaws in the negotiations. Because of our absolute military advantage, we control the initiative in negotiations. How to negotiate? When to negotiate, what conditions are raised, the initiative is completely in our hands. The Dutch beat him hard when playing tricks with us, and he can't take care of himself. Then he will naturally submit."
"Well, it's not bad. How do you say this from history?" Li Fushou asked modestly.
"Since the three British-Dutch wars, the Dutch's hands and feet were interrupted by the Dutch world, and the national strength declined sharply. In the past 200 years, they have suffered many defeats on the battlefield and have become an insignificant little character. There are rich historical precedents for reference. According to the rich experience of the British, they are just to beat him directly, and then talk after being beaten, and continue to beat him until his mother is unaware of it. Then they will drag him to the negotiating table to continue to talk, and naturally they can reach the peace agreement we want."
Speaking of this, Alan Johnson showed a smirk of smirk at the corner of his mouth, and he didn't feel any guilt for betraying the Dutch.
No matter how cunning you are like a fox, I can only break it with one force.
In the final analysis, strength is the foundation. Maybe I am not as good as you when you are verbally polite, but if you are not honest, I will beat you up, which will make you doubt your life.
"What are you looking at?"
"What's wrong with you?"
"Ye... this kid is so unhonest." He caught a beating with a storm, then threw it away and asked, "What else do you see?"
"I'll just look at it, can you kill me?" (I'm dissatisfied with all kinds of dissatisfaction)
"Okay... I'm so kind." He got beaten up again when he caught "Bangbang", and then threw it away and asked, "How about... can you still look at it?"
"I (spouting blood) I (spouting blood)... My brother is cruel enough, okay... unless I kill me today..." (continue to speak hard and vomit blood)
"I'm so tough. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll help you." I caught "Bangbang" and beat him up again, causing incontinence, and then threw him away and asked, "How... are you happy?"
"Brother...Brother... Stop hitting, if you hit again, you will die. You are the master... Whatever you say is what you say" (continuous vomiting of blood)
Well, what Li Fushou and Professor Alan Johnson discussed was probably what they meant. The method was rough and simple, but the effect must be very good.
Chapter completed!
