Chapter 971 It's a mule or a horse, pull it out for a walk
Faced with Ouyang Shuo's sudden killer, Sanda and others were obviously caught off guard. Ocean trade with the West occupies an important position in their territory. Once it is blocked, it will be a fatal blow to the territory's finances.
Ouyang Shuo's meaning is very clear in his words. Only by cooperating with Daxia can he "pass the inspection", otherwise ASEAN merchant ships would not want to enter the Mediterranean.
Sanda and others looked solemn and said, "King Xia, we need to negotiate separately."
"please!"
Ouyang Shuo was full of confidence. Since Sanda and others enjoyed the huge profits brought by ocean trade, they would never give up this piece of fat.
The great route that the Great Xia Dynasty has troubled to operate can sometimes become a bargaining chip on the negotiating table.
…………
In a reception room next door, Sanda and the four of them gathered together.
"What should I do now?" asked Tirad, the lord of Siam.
The four of them looked at each other. They had never thought that Ouyang Shuo's attitude would be so tough before they came.
The lord of the Piao Kingdom, Mo Ang Yin, said: "If you want it, why don't you better sign it."
Among the nine ASEAN countries, the Piao Kingdom is located in the northwest corner, and some are outside the ASEAN system. Moreover, the Piao Kingdom is adjacent to the Indian Ocean, and Western trade income is one of the main fiscal revenues of the Mo'angyin territory.
Once trade is blocked, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Yes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves," Tilard echoed.
Sanda had some concerns and said, "How should we explain it in Uais?"
"We are just business cooperation, and it doesn't matter anything else. We can't just put a lot of money on our face, right?" Mo Angyin's attitude was very firm.
Seeing this, Sanda gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, that's it."
From beginning to end, none of the three of them asked Abdul, the lord of the clay kingdom.
In reality, the mud country is one of the richest countries in the world because of its amazing reserves of oil and natural gas. However, in the game, oil and natural gas are basically useless.
The Ni Country has a small territory, but it is just a miniature country with a small population, so there is no say in it.
…………
After the discussion was made, the four of them returned to the negotiating table.
Seeing this, Ouyang Shuo said with a smile: "Are you all discussing?" In fact, their conversation in the compartment had already reached Ouyang Shuo's ears without hesitation.
Sanda and others nodded and said in an attempt to cover up: "The King of Xia is generous and willing to share the dividends of ocean trade with us. As friends, how could we refuse? It's just a discussion of some small matters."
"Well said it, we are friends." Ouyang Shuo did not expose it.
In the following negotiations, Sanda and others did not make any unreasonable requests. They basically passed one by one according to the previously formulated terms, and signed the "Pan Pacific Trade Partnership Agreement Cooperation Framework" with Daxia.
The specific agreement details will naturally be discussed in detail by professionals.
After signing, Ouyang Shuo said with a smile: "This is a great joy and should be shared with more people. Daxia has invited many media outlets to hold a press conference. Please step forward."
"What?!"
Sanda and others were caught off guard again.
Ouyang Shuo's face darkened and he said, "Why, you don't want to go?"
"Go, go!"
The smiles of Sanda and others were even worse than crying. They could not imagine what consequences would be caused by this elimination of the spread in ASEAN.
But now that things have come to this point, they have no way out.
At the press conference, seeing Sanda and others making a forced smile and cooperating with reporters to ask questions against their will, Ouyang Shuo felt very happy. When the relevant reports came out, they couldn't even deny it.
***************
The agreement was finalized, and the next morning, the Royal Fleet set sail again.
Almost at the same time, the news that Sanda and others signed the "Pan Pacific Trade Partnership Agreement Cooperation Framework" with Daxia was quickly spread among ASEAN countries with the help of the Black Snake Guard.
Java, Padong City.
In the city lord's mansion, Wu Ais looked ashen and gritted his teeth, "Those bastards in Sanda are really treating themselves as Daxia's dogs."
"Hmph, they are afraid of Daxia, I'm not afraid." A trace of blood flashed across Wu Ais's face and said, "Come!"
"exist!"
"Notify the Badong fleet that there is a mission!"
"yes!"
…………
After crossing the Strait of Malacca, the Royal Fleet enters the Indian Ocean.
Along the waters near Java, the fleet headed south. On the Yuhuang, Ouyang Shuo had already taken out a map with an expression of expectation on his face.
"Lemoria Civilization Relics Adventure Map": With this map, players can trigger corresponding plot tasks in the waters near Lemoria Civilization Relics. For specific functions, players are asked to explore them by themselves.
If nothing unexpected happens, the continent of Lemoria is located in the waters between Java and Australia.
To this end, Ouyang Shuo specially ordered Gan Ning, the naval admiral of the Royal Fleet, to spread out the Chima Zhou and the Shishi Fighting Ship, and expand the search range as much as possible in order to trigger the plot mission.
I sailed like this for four days, but there was still no movement.
As I was about to arrive in Australia, Ouyang Shuo couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. "No, I have such a deep source of blessings now, can I still miss the adventure?" Ouyang Shuo was a little depressed.
At this moment, an alarm sounded ahead.
The Yu Huang is located in the center of the fleet and is escorted by groups, so Ouyang Shuo did not know what happened. Fortunately, there are communication conchs produced in Atlantis City, which makes it easy to communicate between warships.
Soon, Gan Ning came to report.
"What happened?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
"Report to the king, the Red Horse Boat ahead issued an alarm signal, and then he lost contact."
Ouyang Shuo's eyes froze and he asked, "Someone attacked us?"
"The last general has sent a warship to check it out." Gan Ning did not give a positive answer.
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "Send the mimicry aircraft out too." Ouyang Shuo's perception was very sharp. Since entering the Indian Ocean, he felt that the fleet was being stared at.
"promise!"
Seeing this, Gan Ning's expression became serious.
At this moment, a violent shelling sound came from the front, "Boom! Boom! Boom!"
There is no need to investigate anymore, the Royal Fleet will undoubtedly be attacked.
Ouyang Shuo was calm and said to Gan Ning: "Let go and do it. I also want to see the results of the training of the Royal Fleet. It is a mule or a horse, so it depends on this battle."
"promise!"
Gan Ning bowed and turned around and left.
Ouyang Shuo looked at the sea ahead with his eyes wide open, "Is it Java?" The only one who has the courage and motivation to attack the Royal Fleet of Daxia is Java.
Ouyang Shuo guessed well. The one who ambushed the Royal Fleet was the Badong Fleet under the command of the Javanese lord UAs. In order to eliminate the influence of the "Pan Pacific Trade Partnership Cooperation Framework", UAs chose the most direct and effective counterattack.
