Chapter 1570 Guidance on the Maze

After getting some advice from the author, Luo Hong finally had a clearer understanding of the official attitude of Haihan. At least he understood that the door to arms sales was not completely closed. It was not that the Haihan people were unwilling to sell, but that they had to wait for someone.

Reasonable timing and bid. The most important thing is that Heihan hopes that the parties involved, namely Matalan and the Netherlands, will realize this, so he implicitly expressed the official attitude through the newspaper media.

Since it has been hinted, Luo Hong certainly cannot remain indifferent to this. However, the effect of pulling the gold to display outside the Victory Fort the day before yesterday was not ideal. Apart from the unexpected gain of generating news events, Haihan's senior management actually did not show any reaction to this.

What interest? Moreover, this trick cannot be used repeatedly. If you do it again, you may really anger the Haihan people.

“Mr.

On journalists.

"This..." Xun Pengcheng couldn't answer. He knew that his abilities were limited. He could just write gossip articles and complain about social events, but he was still far from being able to think about national affairs. And with yesterday's lesson,

How dare he express his opinions on government matters now, not to mention that the person he was talking to at this time was a Matalan man whom the Ministry of Security was very concerned about.

But Xun Pengcheng's hesitant reaction fell into Luo Hong's eyes, and he had a different understanding. After some interpretations just now, he believed that Xun Pengcheng should be a real insider, and perhaps he had some knowledge of the solution that Haihan officials had not come up with.

Understand. If the other party can give me some pointers, this matter may be solved.

Thinking of this, Luo Hong motioned to his men behind him to take a small wooden box from the floor, put it on the table, opened it, and pushed it in front of Xun Pengcheng: "Sir, please show me the way!"

The box was padded with cotton cloth and wrapped with two gold bricks, each of which was at least five or six times larger than the gold coin just now. It could be seen that Luo Hong came well prepared. Not only did he prepare a meeting gift, but he also secretly prepared heavy items.

Li is just waiting for such an opportunity to use it to hit people.

Xun Pengcheng glanced at it and knew that the gold bricks in this box were of the same shape as the two carts of gold bricks he saw outside the Victory Fort yesterday. The value of these two gold bricks could really match his current salary.

I have been working hard at my job for several years.

Do you want it? Of course Xun Pengcheng does. With this money, he can immediately realize his dream of buying a bigger house. Then he can find a place to contract several hundred acres of land to build a plantation. In the next few decades, he can become a master and enjoy happiness.

But the problem is that Xun Pengcheng doesn't know the answer Luo Hong wants to know at all. Even if he knows it, he may not dare to tell Luo Hong. As for making up any explanation to the other party, Xun Pengcheng has the evil heart but not the courage. He doesn't want to be accused later.

Someone from Malan or the security department came to the door.

"This...it's not necessary!" Xun Pengcheng swallowed hard and tried to refuse Luo Hong's request.

But in Luo Hong's opinion, Xun Pengcheng's lack of firm attitude was a deliberate push and pull to hint at him. He was even more unwilling to give up at the moment. Xun Pengcheng must come up with an explanation, otherwise he would stay here and not leave.

Xun Pengcheng not only wanted the money, but he was also worried that he would be arrested and imprisoned if his transaction with Ma Dalan was exposed. At the time of crisis, Luo Hong finally made up his mind with one sentence: "Sir, helping me is not helping Ma Dalan."

Blue Country is helping your country! If this happens, your country will have a higher prestige in the South China Sea, which will be beneficial to the people and meritorious to the country!"

Xun Pengcheng, who was already a little confused by the temptation of gold, thought, yes, since what I am doing is beneficial to the country, why should I be timid? Perhaps it was the relief of mental pressure. After a change of mind, he really thought

A set of rhetoric came out.

According to Xun Pengcheng's understanding of the official attitude, he does believe that the official is more inclined to lift the previous ban in some way, but how to convince both countries involved obviously requires very high-end operations.

Xun Pengcheng's social status, of course, could not figure out how to achieve such a goal, but he gave Luo Hong a quite feasible idea.

After hearing this, Luo Hong nodded again and again, thinking that this move was indeed expected to change the official attitude of Haihan. As for whether it would work, we would know after trying it later. Xun Pengcheng knew the rules and would not accept the two pieces of gold at the moment no matter what.

Luo Hong only accepted the gold coin that he had taken out earlier. Luo Hong then made a promise to give him a thank you gift after everything was done.

After finally sending Luo Hong and his party away, Xun Pengcheng went back to bed and lay down, but he couldn't sleep anymore. Only then did he feel strangely flustered. If Luo Hong didn't get things done here, he wouldn't be able to get the two coins.

The gold brick is a small matter. If he is implicated in this, the Ministry of Security is afraid that he will be charged with "knowingly committing a crime". But if it happens, Luo Hong will definitely send someone to deliver the gold brick. When the time comes, he will

But in a sudden change, he became rich and powerful. The two unpredictable futures were like two ropes tied to his body, constantly pulling his emotions in completely opposite directions.

But Luo Hong was full of excitement. He believed that Xun Pengcheng's advice represented the official attitude of Haihan to a certain extent. At this time, he should strike while the iron is hot and quickly apply to Haihan senior officials for a new negotiation. So he started from Xun Pengcheng's residence.

After coming out, he didn't even go back to the guest house, and went straight to Fort Victory.

"Luo Hong is here again?" Tao Donglai felt a headache after hearing the news for a long time. Although there are many foreign envoys and businessmen coming in and out of Victory Fort every day, it is rare to be as stubborn as Luo Hong.

, it seems that if Haihan does not relent, he will establish his presence in Victory Fort. Although Tao Donglai has preliminary ideas on handling the arms embargo, this matter still needs to be dealt with in diplomacy, commerce, military industry, etc.

It can only be implemented after coordination between departments. Luo Hong comes to guard it every day, which is not a big trouble for the executive committee.

But Tao Donglai doesn't want to offend the other party. After all, the Matalan country has a very strong willingness to purchase arms. It is a potential big customer for Haihan. He just needs to grasp the balance and get as many exchange terms as possible from the other party.

, especially content related to geopolitics.

Although he felt it was a bit troublesome, Tao Donglai decided to see Luo Hong again. He knew that the other party must have come here after reading today's new special issue, and he also wanted to hear whether the other party understood what Haihan officials used to convey.

However, even if Tao Donglai was cunning, he would never have imagined that this seemingly rough-looking general Ma Dalan would immediately think of going to the writer to clear up his doubts after reading the newspaper. Although Xun Pengcheng's explanation also had

There are many biases, but it really helped Luo Hong better understand the official intentions of Haihan.

Tao Donglai was mentally prepared, but when he actually heard the solution proposed by Luo Hong, he still suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, because Luo Hong's idea coincided with his plan.

, hoping to win the opportunity to purchase Haihan arms through one-on-one bidding with the Dutch.

"...According to your country's method, bidding is undoubtedly the most reasonable solution. I know that the Dutch have always wanted to buy your country's weapons and equipment. We will compete fairly and the one with the highest price will win, so that no one will gossip.

Even if the Dutch lose, they will lose openly, and there is no reason to resent your country."

Luo Hong followed Xun Pengcheng's suggestion and proposed his own solution to Tao Donglai. Of course, he also knew that this solution was not perfect. The geopolitical exchange conditions between Haihan and the Netherlands were not problems that money could solve.

, but at least Matalan has enough sincerity to bear the premium brought by this purchase method.

Seeing that Tao Donglai was silent, he continued: "If you are worried about the attitude of the Dutch, you can at least inform them of the situation first and see if they are willing to accept this method. If these cowards are on the battlefield,

Other places can only cowardly choose to avoid fighting, so I suggest that your country really does not need to cooperate with them anymore. Cowards are not worthy of being partners of Haihan!"

This is of course a gamble. If the Dutch refuse, then no matter how sincere Luo Hong is, it may be difficult for the Haihan Executive Committee to take the initiative to tear up the agreement signed with the East India Company. But according to Xun Pengcheng's previous analysis, the Dutch also

There is also a strong demand to purchase arms, and the most important thing is that Haihan officials have the intention to open arms sales, so this attempt has a certain possibility of success.

Tao Donglai had to admit that he had misjudged something earlier. This Luo Hong was not a rough man, but a rough man with some finesse, and he still had something in his belly. No matter what Luo Hong said, he figured it out by himself or

Someone gave him some advice. This suggestion was indeed an excellent preparation for Tao Donglai's plan, allowing Haihan to use very reasonable reasons to notify the Dutch to participate in the bidding.

"I will convey your proposal to the Dutch, but I can't give you any promises now. This is a national matter for either of us, so it must be handled with caution. I hope you can understand our arrangement, Luo Hong

General." Tao Donglai replied very cautiously, and he did not let go easily even though there might still be variables.

But when Luo Hong heard these words, he saw a huge concession compared to his previous attitude, and at least he saw a glimmer of hope.

In the afternoon of the same day, Schneider paid a visit to the Dutch Minister Su Keyi and conveyed to him the proposal of the Materan Kingdom, which was actually also the proposal of the Haihan Executive Committee, that is, if both the Netherlands and Materan had the intention to purchase Haihan military equipment

, then Haihan will arrange a bidding to give the two countries a chance to compete fairly.

Although this was indeed the opportunity that the East India Company had been waiting for for a long time, Su Keyi did not take the initiative as he expected. Instead, he lost to his old rival Ma Dalan in this link. This frustration made him furious.

, after Schneider left, he broke a set of expensive blue and white porcelain tea sets.

Sukeyi did not like the solution proposed by the Matalan people. Although the East India Company was financially strong and Governor Van Diemen had granted him autonomy, he still believed that the nature of this kind of bidding was to kill the enemy.

Thousand, self-injury 800, the only one who took advantage was the Haihan people who were sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight. He really didn't understand what the Ma Daran envoy was thinking, and he actually chose such a way that was not conducive to Ma Daran

country’s solution.

Of course, Su Keyi really couldn't imagine that Luo Hong's plan actually came from tabloid reporter Xun Pengcheng's suggestion, and the plan proposed by Xun Pengcheng was completely subconsciously conceived from Haihan's standpoint, and the natural winner would be

It couldn't be the horse attacking the blue country. It's just that Luo Hong was obsessed with buying weapons and overpowering the Netherlands. This obsession prevented him from delving into who would be the biggest beneficiary in the end like Su Keyi.

And this is not the most uneasy thing for Su Keyi. He thinks that the Haihan people may have other things to hide from him, such as having secretly negotiated certain exchange conditions with the Ma Dalan people. Back then, Haihan could quietly follow

The East India Company negotiated terms, and now it can naturally engage in this kind of secret operation again - as long as the Maltalan people can come up with good enough conditions.

Su Keyi knew that Haihan had a strong interest in the eastern and southern waters of the Sunda Islands, but he had never found an opportunity to establish a coastal supply point such as a colonial port in this area. The East India Company had also been strictly guarding against this.

There is no coast suitable for building a port for Haihan in the area under his control. But if the Matalan people foolishly agree to Haihan's request to build a port somewhere in order to buy arms, then in the future this area will

The situation in the sea is even more unfavorable to the Netherlands.

Similar situations are not without precedent in the past. In order to gain Haihan's support, Annan State set aside four places on its own coastline for Haihan to build ports. The result was that Haihan relied on these four colonial ports.

In just a few years, it almost controlled the entire eastern coastline of the Indochina Peninsula, making it impossible for Western colonial countries such as Portugal and the Netherlands to compete for control of maritime trade in this area. To this day, merchant ships from other countries have to trade with Annan.

Often they can only dock at ports operated by Haihan people, and all trade content must be subject to Haihan supervision. There is no freedom of trade at all.

This set of operating techniques was later used by Haihan in the Ming Dynasty. Today, Haihan's colonial ports exist along the Ming Dynasty coastline from south to north, near key waterways and major trade areas, almost cutting off the presence of Western countries in the Ming Dynasty.

The possibility of colonization in these areas. If Matalan and Haihan also perform this kind of thing, then in a few years, the entire Sunda Islands sea area will probably become an area controlled by Haihan.
