The attitudes of the Maltas represented by Alo toward the Empire are very complicated, at least for now.

In the past, the Maltese who left their hometown because of the empire were full of hatred for the empire, and European countries also carried out a series of public opinion attacks on the empire's semi-forced immigration policy against the Maltas, which made the Maltese think that they had received support from many European countries.

But this is not the case. After more than a decade, the Maltese have fully realized that it is impossible for them to return to their hometown.

Because the empire implemented the strictest immigration policy on the island of Malta, the island of Malta was completely under the military control of the navy. Because it was a military restricted area, foreign ships, even passenger ships carrying foreigners or merchant ships using foreign sailors, were not allowed to dock.

In recent years, these policies have been slightly loosened, but they are only allowed to dock, and foreigners are not allowed to log in. Europeans want to enter Malta, that is, European women marry local naval soldiers, and Alo's human trafficking business is often used to serve the Imperial Navy's troops stationed abroad.

However, with the further contact between the Empire and the Maltese, the relationship between the two sides is undergoing subtle changes. Because the Maltese discovered that if they want to gain a foothold in the new land of Corsica, they still cannot do without the support of the Empire.

For a long time, the Maltese, led by Alo, have been fighting against the Corsicans on the island and have been directly engaged in underworld transactions. When they were squeezed the worst, the Empire took action. Now, the League of Nations has chosen its headquarters here. For the Maltese, it is undoubtedly the gospel of God. Because of the League of Nations, the Maltese are regarded as the indigenous people of Corsicans, just like the Corsicans, and because of the competition between the major powers, the Maltese have benefited a lot.

As for Aluo, this guy who mainly deals in underworld business has already been preparing to change careers with the arrival of the League of Nations headquarters. It is also profitable for someone who is considerate of money and a contractor to build some of the facilities in Ajaccio.

People always envy others. When people who are close to them are developed, people are often jealous and envious of their enemies. What Alo envies the most is the Bonaparte family, who does not move a knife or shed blood, and earns money while standing.

Aluo knew that as long as he stood in the right team this time, he could become such a family. Not to mention anything else, Aluo's 14-year-old son has been sent to Xijin to study.

Pasquale was even more angry when he saw Bonaparte and Alo come together, but Pasquale did not explode immediately. Because what Alo and Bonaparte said is indeed the truth. If the League of Nations really confronts itself and does what the colonists have to do, he can continue to persevere.

But if the army of the League of Nations arrived and the coins were spread, no one would continue to support him.

"You can think seriously, we have time," Alo said to Pasquale, and asked Bonaparte: "Mr. Bonaparte, do you want a drink?"

Bonaparte said with a smile: "I look forward to the three of us having a celebration wine together."

"Actually, I hope so too. Corsica's fate has changed. The island has ushered in freedom. Everyone should be happy, not fall into the civil war for personal reasons. I think no one doesn't like the situation where everyone makes money together." Alo said with a smile.

"Except for ambitious people." Bonaparte responded, obviously the two said that they were for Pasquale.

Pasquale looked at the two people singing and talking, smiled coldly, and said, "You said that the League of Nations wants to know my attitude more, but I don't want them to be stationed in the army and will not be agreed. So is it necessary to continue the talk?"

"In fact, as long as you have an attitude and show it, the rest of the conditions are easy to discuss." Bonaparte said actively: "The five major powers need you to promise not to try to implement feudal autocratic rule on Corsica, that's all."

"With you and five major countries, even if I have this plan, I can't do it." Pasquale's words were full of indifference.

Alo lit another cigar: "Yes, the National League Headquarters is a bad thing for you, and a good thing for everyone on Corsica."

Pasquale lowered his head and thought for a while: "Then my attitude is meaningless, two, I want to know, what do the master behind you want to do on Corsica?"

"Although the League of Nations and the five major powers recognize our independence, in order for Corsica to provide services to the League of Nations, the people of Corsica can successfully complete their overpowering power. The five major powers unanimously agree that Corsica will be an international trusteeship for a period of time," said Bonaparte.

Pasquale frowned: "What is an international trusteeship."

"A government will be established here, and there will be a governor, and there will be a group of officials. The governor and officials will be held by people from the League of Nations and hire locals as much as possible. And we locals will form a parliament to supervise this government. At a certain point in time, we can organize the government by ourselves, and then all the power will be handed over to the people of Corsica." Alo said in simple language.

Although Pasquale was a wise man, he was limited to the small place of Corsica, and his knowledge was not outstanding, so he asked: "Mr. Bonaparte, Mr. Alo, I would like to ask, are there such international trusteeships in the world, what did they look like before and what are they now?"

"No, Corsica will be the first international trusteeship site." Bonaparte said bluntly.

"Then how do you guarantee that when we Corsicans can really manage ourselves, the League of Nations will return the power to us?" asked Pasquale.

Aluo said: "This will be shared by the five major countries, and it is a time limit. I think it is more appropriate to have fifteen or twenty years."

"Where are you?" Pasquale asked Bonaparte.

Bonaparte said calmly: "No guarantee from any country or anyone means to me. Mr. Pasquale, you should know that the group of people under your command support you because the Genoese colonists have done too many atrocities here, and people support you in war with the Genoese.

If the five major countries break their promises in the future, I believe that local people will support a new leader to fight against it.”

"At that time, I'm afraid no one will be willing to pick up the knife and gun." Pasquale said coldly.

Bonaparte shook his head slightly: "Why should we take a knife and a gun? By then, the headquarters of the League of Nations will be in Ajaccio, and people just need to gather together and shout some slogans. The struggle will not be so cruel, but freedom will be more valuable."

Pasquale understood, and he was also moved. His current interests will be guaranteed by echoing the voice, and can even go further, and the national interests of the Corsicans will be guaranteed in the future.

"If they really respect us, they should discuss with us in advance, rather than inform us after making a decision, so as not to give us room to object." Pasquale was still a little dissatisfied.

Alo said: "Corsica is just a small island with only more than 100,000 people, and is completely incomparable to the five major countries. Their strength has made them not respect us. Moreover, this is not a matter of respect. Choosing Corsica as the headquarters of the League of Nations is a political compromise among various countries.

Pasquale, your vision is shrouded in the mountains and mist on this island. You really should go out and take a look and learn about the world."

Pasquale did not comment, although he knew in his heart that his knowledge was indeed lacking much compared to the behemoth of the League of Nations. When he saw Alo say this, he looked at Bonaparte: "Mr. Bonaparte, did the policy of the League of Nations headquarters choose to be here and there is also an international trusteeship place. Did the French propose it?"

"No, although the League of Nations headquarters chose to compromise here, it was the first to propose and insisted by China in the East. As for the international trusteeship, although it is also the common will of the five major powers, as far as I know, it is also the first Chinese prince who proposed the concept that we can accept." Bonaparte said.

Now, Pasquale felt even more interesting: "I know Mr. Bonaparte, you are more inclined to France, but since you came to me, you have not said a bad thing about China. You must know that you are a devout Catholic, and China has always discriminated against Catholicism. In fact, among the so-called five major countries, China is the strangest and most hostile one of us, which makes your attitude more interesting."

"You don't need to associate too much. This is because the Chinese people's politics are more civilized, and I have to admit that this is just that, it will not change my political tendency." Bonaparte said.

Pasquale turned his attention to Alo again, and Alo was not a lawyer like Bonaparte, nor had he ever engaged in politics. He could not say anything more profound, but said: "Mr. Pasquale, fortunately you did not meet those people, otherwise you would have drawn your gun there.

I can tell you that the one who truly respects us is the Chinese messenger. Without him, France and Spain would first send troops and then contact us. I can say that except China, those countries are no different from the Genoese."

Pasquale suddenly asked, "In this way, are you supporting Chinese officials as the governor of our trusteeship?"

"Yes." Alo gave a positive answer.

But Bonaparte said, "No, I don't think so."

"Do you still insist on French officials?" Pasquale asked.

Bonaparte's expression was a little complicated. He actually lit a cigarette, took a sip, and said, "I thought so before going to Ceuta. But after that meeting, I changed my mind. There is no difference between a Frenchman serving as governor and a Genoese. No dignified Corsican would accept that kind of arrogant person, but it is difficult for me to accept a Chineseman serving as governor."

"I think this is also the goal of you two. Want to ask about my attitude?" Pasquale said on his own initiative.

"Yes, your attitude is important if you are willing to cooperate," both Bonaparte and Alo admitted.

"As a Corsica native, I think we need to put forward a condition that the League of Nations accepts, to demonstrate the dignity of the Corsica people," Pasquale said.

"It is indeed necessary, otherwise we will be ignored." Bonaparte expressed his consent, and Alo thought about it and said, "Yes, like doing business, there are coming and going."

Pasquale continued: "I think it is possible to put forward a condition that officials of the five major countries cannot manage our Corsica. I believe that non-members of the five major countries should support our decision."

"I think you are right, but with my understanding of the five major powers, especially the Count of Surrey, I think we should come up with a suitable candidate, enough to convince the Count of Surrey and representatives of the other five major powers, otherwise it will only cause political confrontation." Bonaparte reminded Pasquale.

Pasquale's eyes lit up and said, "Although I don't know who is more suitable, I think this person is better from Portugal."

"Why?" Alo was puzzled. He knew Portugal very well because he had a lot of contacts. After leaving his hometown, the Maltese lived in Corsica, but they lived in the colonies of Genoa and Portugal in North Africa. After North Africa fell into war, a large number of Maltese entered the Portuguese colony of Morocco.

Pasquale said: "Mr. Alo, you should be clear that the king of Portugal is a vain man and rich. As long as we give him enough honor, we believe that the king is willing to 'rule us', and this will increase his status in the League of Nations. The vain king is willing to spend ten thousand gold coins on a set of clothes. What does it count for a crown, and spending some money?

As long as the Portuguese king takes out the money, he will be the biggest objection to other people who covet the Governor of Corsica. Unless they are willing to give out the corresponding money, they should not compete with Portuguese officials."

"It would be even better if the people on Corsica cooperated to perform a play." Bonaparte said excitedly with his eyes brighter.

Aluo also understood and said excitedly: "Then this scene should be called "We Only Love King Joao."

Pasquale smiled and said, "I just made a suggestion. Whether it is feasible, we need to try it. Of course, Portugal is the first choice, and the second choice is His Majesty the Pope. In addition, you can also consider the Republic of Venice and the United Republic of the Netherlands."

"I'm worried that the five major congresses will destroy this."

When Pasquale heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "If that's the case, we can only use our trump card. We can accept a Genoese as governor."
