Liu Pei was busy for a long time before he stopped. As soon as he returned to Batavia, Liu Pei locked himself up to deal with government affairs and think about new plans. After all, Southeast Asia has disrupted all his plans in advance, so the overall plan must be adjusted.

On the second day after Liu Pei returned, the patrolling fleet outside brought back a merchant ship of the Netherlands East India Company. The people above stated their identity and were the messengers of the Netherlands East India Company and the Spanish to negotiate. They came here to contact Liu Pei to seek a peaceful solution to the Southeast Asian war.

The two people on the ship were messengers of the Netherlands East India Company and the other was Baron François. He was very lucky. After Wu Yizhou defeated his fleet, he realized that the situation was not good! He fled to another stronghold by a small boat at night, and focused his efforts to repair an old sea ship in the stronghold and fled to India.

After Governor Cohen's letter arrived in India, he was still in shock and realized that the entire Spanish stronghold in Southeast Asia had been swept away! This made Baron Francois almost desperate! He knew that even if he returned to Spain alive, there would be no future!

When he learned that the letter also mentioned that Liu Pei was willing to continue trade with the West, Baron François came back! In order to give an explanation to the kingdom, he returned to Batavia with the envoy of the East India Company of the Netherlands. As for the envoy, the envoy only sent a full authorization letter to Governor Cohen. After all, Governor Cohen was the person who knew the local situation best.

Although Liu Pei did not meet them at the first time, he arranged a room for them in the castle. Of course, Colonel Clark and Baron Fransva did not care, but the one who felt the deepest was Governor Cohen! Because the castle belonged to him some time ago, now he re-entered the castle as a guest! He couldn't help but feel mixed feelings!

Of course, when a few people meet, they have to get together for a drink. Because Liu Pei gave them enough space to move around and even returned the right to use the wine cellar. However, the room on the top floor of the castle was occupied by Liu Pei without hesitation. After all, he is the real owner of the castle now.

After Colonel Clark and Governor Cohen and Baron François met, several people gathered together after thinking for a day and began to discuss the issue of signing the contract.

Just in Governor Cohen's room, the three of them held wine glasses and discussed the embarrassing situation.

The scene was very embarrassing at the beginning! Baron François mocked the Netherlands for surrendering shamelessly. Governor Cohen mocked the Spanish for the sunset and the rivers, and he could no longer see the form. Colonel Clark was smiling at the quarrel.

After they had almost had a quarrel, Colonel Clark said, "Okay, gentlemen, you all seem to have forgotten the purpose of our coming here."

Hearing this, the two men remained silent. They each held wine glasses to moisten their thirsty throats. Colonel Clark then said: "It should be like this for everyone, because quarrel is meaningless. Don't forget that we have a common enemy!"

Baron François said sarcastically: "Is it? The Red-Eyed Dragon King may not be an enemy to you Englishmen, right? You have obtained a trade channel from him, satisfying your wishes for many years. Maybe you should be allies!"

Needless to say, the hatred between the Spanish and the English. Even the Netherlands felt the pressure of the rise of England over the years. However, at this time, the Netherlands still felt that they could suppress England.

So Governor Cohen also said, "Yes, maybe the Colonel will become a member of the nobles when he returns to England this time, right? Don't forget that you are a white man!"

Colonel Clark did not respond and said directly: "The enemy I am talking about is not Lord Red Eyed Dragon King!"

Baron Francois put down his wine glass in surprise and said, "Who wouldn't he be? If he wants, he will isolate the trade channels between the East and the West at any time! After all, this is his hometown, and his power is far stronger than us."

Colonel Clark said calmly: "I'm talking about Portugal."

Baron Francois and the other two were stunned immediately! To be honest, they never regarded Portugal as their opponent. Portugal's maritime power had declined at this time! They only had a base in the East, including the Haojing (Macao). So both of them subconsciously ignored Portugal.

At this time, after Colonel Clark's reminder, the two finally realized it! If Portugal really participated in the signing of the contract, wouldn't this be equivalent to giving Portugal a dose of heart-warming agent? How can this work? Absolutely

no!

Especially since the Spanish hatred for this old enemy has not faded, they are absolutely unwilling to let the Portuguese rise again! What's more, more opponents are involved, which means they have to lose more interests, which is the most important thing! So Baron François immediately said: "I completely agree with Mr. Clark's opinion!"

The guest governor nodded and said, "I agree too. But how can we convince the Red Eye Dragon King?"

Clark smiled and said, "It's very simple! As long as the three of us stand together, I bet he will give in!"

Governor Cohen said: "This is impossible! I know him. He is a very determined person and will never give in at will!"

Colonel Clark said: "But he is also a businessman. One of the purposes of signing a contract with us is for business. He just doesn't want one person to monopolize the business in the East. That will lower his price and reduce shipments. But now with three of us, it's no different from having four."

After a little thought, the two agreed to stand with the British in this matter. At this time, Colonel Clark wanted to escape when he achieved his goal. But Governor Cohen did not want him to escape.

He stopped Colonel Clark and said, "Col. Clark, since we are now in alliance, I think there are some things we should stand on the same front and discuss with the Red Eye Dragon King."

Colonel Clark deliberately pretended to be confused and asked, "Is there anything else? I think the matter of trade is the most important thing."

Governor Cohen gritted his teeth and said, "Col. Clark, are you going to let us bow our heads to this Oriental? These Orientals have taken away all our colonies in the East! Isn't it normal for us to ask him to return or redeem it?"

Colonel Clark's eyes flashed without saying a word, as if he was thinking. But Baron François understood, and he said with a wry smile: "Governor Cohen, don't ask him anymore. Don't forget that the English have no colonies in the East! At this point, he will not help us."
