A few years ago, the Northern Chinese government foresaw the attack and immediately began to touch it. However, Spain did not take enough attention, neither strengthening the defense of the Philippines nor Cuba. You should know that these two colonies are Spain's last source of wealth, with an annual income of about 45 million Spanish dollars, accounting for almost >:

After losing the Philippines this time, the Spanish people woke up from their dreams and rushed to cooperate with the North China government. In a certain place, an estimate is being carried out tensely to estimate the price of the Philippines, which is convenient for extortion of Spain.

They all participated in the war to suppress the Cuban independence movement. The design of this colonial warship was not very successful. Although it was equipped with many boilers, it never reached a theoretical speed of 16 knots. Basically, it was outdated when it was built.

At the beginning of the morning of the 1st of the month, the general received news of the invasion of the US fleet. Reina, all Spanish warships opened fire together (slightly different from the firing time recorded by the Americans); the US ships Baltimore, Olympia and Boston were concentrated on shooting Reina.

The Mandano Island transport ship

With the introduction of the last Spanish warship, the hall was restored to light. Deng Shichang, Deputy Minister of the Navy, presided over the meeting. Originally, as an old man of the Beiyang Navy, he should have participated more in the construction of the New Beiyang Territory, but in that naval battle, Deng Shichang led the Zhiyuan ship to charge forward, and the hull was seriously attacked. Deng Shichang himself was injured in many places and did not recover until recently. Today is his first time as Deputy Minister of the Navy.

"I just looked at the Spanish naval situation and felt that the strength of this fleet is OK, which is much worse than that of the US Pacific Squadron. However, it can resist the US fleet by relying on the port defense of Manila. However, its performance in the Navy of Manila was far from what we expected. The Spanish were defeated, so now we need to estimate what kind of fleet Spain needs to buy from us this time?"

"My thought is that the minimum is not lower than the Spanish fleet just introduced, and the maximum is not higher than our North China fleet."

Everyone was amused by his words, and the atmosphere became much more lively, and everyone began to discuss it enthusiastically.

The next day, Spain's estimate plan was officially submitted to the Presidential Palace. The estimate report believes that the Spanish are likely to need four Governor-class main battleships and eight Governor-class second-class battleships to compete with all the US navy. However, if only the US Pacific Fleet is considered, it only needs one Governor-class main battleship, two Governor-class second-class battleships, and four Governor-class heavy cruisers.

So when the Spanish envoy Yu Tang Shaoyi met, he proposed his purpose to "buy warships". It is not surprising that Tang Shaoyi was very skillful in coming up with a quotation plan.

Compared to the time I bought the Japanese warships, this time it was quite fair. All kinds of main ships were available for purchase, and even the four major battleships could be sold, and all of them could be sold. Of course, justice was just at this level. In terms of price, it can be said that it was much darker than last time.

The Spanish envoy Zhang widened his eyes, obviously shocked by this unprecedented high price. After a long time, he said stutteringly:

"Dang, I think you're wrong. You know, the UK just sold it to the day: 1,090,000 pounds (including the shipping fee). This is already terrifying. Now if you want yuan, it's 2 million pounds, which is simply a robbery."

Tang Shaoyi was so happy that she saw her opponent's panic that she meant she had the initiative.

"Sir, we are voluntarily not talking about these things. You should know that the United States is our ally, so we...."

"Tang, you didn't say you want to abandon us, you should know that after France rejects us, only you can uphold justice for us, and people all over the world will remember your narrow heart."

"Of course, the whole world will remember that there was a big fool who didn't make money but volunteered for others, and then he ended up getting bad."

Tang Shaoyi muttered in her heart and changed her face

"So, selling allies requires a higher price, do you understand, my dear friend."

After seeing Tang Shaoyi's face, the Spaniard confirmed that he was his own kind in front of him, who belonged to the kind of human beings who only knew the interests but not the other humans. So the two began a pure negotiation. In fact, there was no need to estimate these foreigners too high. Basically, no matter how good-looking they looked, they still evolved from animals.

Pay half of the payment after the goods arrive. If it does not sink within half a year, then 40% will be paid in three years. If there is no problem after three years, then pay in the end.

"No, we can only give away some torpedo boats at most, buy one for the Governor-class battleship, buy one for one for the Governor-class battleship, buy two for one for one for the Governor-class, buy four for one for one for the Governor-class. And we must trade in cash, and the money will be delivered, and we are not responsible for safe escorts. If necessary, we will add a 30% cruising fee."

"No, if that happens, our country would rather abandon the Philippines than go bankrupt because of this."

The negotiations seemed to be deadlocked, but Tang Shaoyi was not worried. He took out a thick document and handed it to the special envoy:
Chapter completed!
