Canovas was a little distracted. He didn't expect Prince Yang to be so brave to admit his mistakes. In fact, even if Yang Feng didn't admit it, he was not prepared to pursue it further. The reason why he negotiated with this guy was to tell him that even if it was you who did it, he would
Don’t play around anymore. We’ll meet you as soon as you bow your head. Spain has contributed a lot of wealth to you over the years, so why do you have to make it so unpleasant for a few monkeys?
However, he really didn't expect Yang Feng to apologize to him so candidly, and quickly said that there is no need to take this kind of thing too seriously. I am also very indignant about corrupt officials. I will punish him according to your laws. It's just that
Just don't let something like this happen again.
Of course Prince Yang assured him of this, patting his chest. In fact, as long as the monkeys started making trouble, it would be considered a success. As for whether they would be given arms in the future, it would depend on their performance. Prince Yang's goal was simply
No longer regarding this trivial matter, he has other agendas.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, although I am very touched by your magnanimity, after all, our mistakes have caused losses to your army. As an old friend, I will feel very guilty if we do not make compensation. So, if you have anything
Just ask if you want me to do anything, as long as it helps you quell the rebellion." Yang Feng said sincerely.
Canovas couldn't believe his ears. This meant that he was not only apologizing, but also preparing to compensate himself or something. Oh my god, was this pie in the sky? Isn't he famous for being greedy and greedy? Could it be that he was sitting in front of him?
Isn’t that the legendary Iron Rooster?
"Can you sell us gas bombs?" he asked tentatively. Spain had always wanted to buy these gas bombs to suppress the Cubans. However, Yang Feng always refused to sell these gas bombs on the grounds that they were too cruel to the Cuban people.
The best weapon to suppress rebellion.
"Yes. But I have to have a condition. First of all, you cannot use it to fight against Cuba. You must understand that American public opinion has always been dissatisfied with you, and I don't want to be criticized by the American people for this matter. After all, I have many people there.
Industry." Yang Feng said frankly.
Canovas nodded quickly, fully understanding this.
"Second, due to production constraints and too many customers buying, I can't supply it to you in large quantities. I can only supply it to you in small batches one after another," Yang Feng said.
Of course Canovas has no objection. It is obvious to all that the Swedish poison gas bomb factory is in short supply. In addition to the production lines established by Britain and Germany, other factories in France are still under construction. Almost all other European countries buy from Sweden. Yang Feng is very satisfied with this.
normal.
"Besides, I don't think this is enough to express my apology. Do you still want to buy warships? If you still want to buy warships, I can give you a 30% discount." Yang Feng then threw out another one that almost made him scream.
big gift.
"Your Highness, are you kidding me?" Canovas said in disbelief.
"Am I kidding?" Yang Feng said with a smile.
On the contrary, Canovas became vigilant. When things go wrong, there must be monsters. Not only the Chinese understand this sentence, he also knows it very well. If he simply sold himself gas bombs, it can be said that Yang Feng wanted to apologize, but coupled with the low
The issue of selling warships at a high price is worth considering, because Yang Feng does not need to do this anyway.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, who is the real enemy of Spain? Cuba is the most important colony that you cannot give up under any circumstances. Unfortunately, its location is too bad. It is right next to a growing evil wolf that urgently needs more food.
Do you think that with the current strength of the Spanish navy, it can resist the minions of this evil wolf?" Yang Feng said casually.
This is his real purpose. The Americans won the Spanish-American War so smoothly that American capitalists were confident in expansion. But what if the United States suffered a disastrous victory in this war? Especially if it suffered a naval battle.
If it fails and the coast is bombarded, with the courage of the Americans, I am afraid that they will be cautious about expansion. This country must go all out to stumble it. The geographical location without enemies is too scary.
Canovas suddenly understood. No wonder this guy is so kind. To put it bluntly, he just wants to do something to the Americans. This is understandable. China can be said to be the only unowned piece of fat on both sides of the Pacific. But the wolves around him
The oldest one in the group is full, the second one is almost full, the third and fourth have just eaten another piece of fat and will not be interested in anything else in a short time, so the last one is left.
Those who haven't eaten anything will inevitably have some thoughts. His Royal Highness obviously wants to kill someone with a knife and knock out some of the teeth of this evil wolf.
But this is indeed a pie-in-the-sky blessing for Spain. It can be said that the Americans’ ambitions for Cuba are already known to everyone. Why have they been trying so hard to exaggerate the Spanish army’s suppression of Cuba in recent years? Isn’t it just to mobilize domestic support for Spain?
Hostility? In recent years, Spain has been careful not to give them an excuse for war. To be honest, even Prime Minister Canovas himself feels aggrieved.
It's a pity that the Spanish navy is too weak now. It has only four armored cruisers and two battleships that are truly capable of modern naval warfare. The U.S. Navy's main battleships and cruisers that are about to enter service are almost as many as Spain's.
Twice as much, otherwise he would not have been able to squeeze out the money between his teeth and order those eight new diesel warships from Sweden. But even with these additions, the gap between the Spanish Navy and the United States is still huge.
"Your Highness, we are indeed planning to purchase a few warships, such as the 7,000-ton armored cruiser currently being built in Sweden. We also have four destroyers we are planning to buy, but we need them very urgently."
After understanding the true purpose of this thing, Canovas was relieved that there was indeed a conspiracy, but it was not aimed at Spain. In this case, he was naturally happy to take advantage, so he said with a smile.
"No problem, I can convince His Majesty the Ottoman Emperor to move some of the battleships originally built for him to you. I can give you one armored cruiser, two destroyers, and the other two if you really want them.
Very urgently, I can give you two ships from my active fleet. Of course, if you believe in the quality of my shipyard in China, where I have a batch of ships that were originally built for me, I can give them to you first. In addition, the latest models of my torpedoes are already available.
Start using it. The maximum range is more than ten kilometers. If you need it, you can equip all your warships with this kind of torpedo, and the price will be 30% off." Yang Feng said.
"Of course, but what about the payment?" Canovas said hesitantly, seeing what he meant, he was very nervous.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, 30% off is already a great discount. Besides, even if I don't help you, it's not a big deal to me. As long as my fleet is strong enough, I can stop anyone's ambitions for my motherland." Yang
Feng said very dissatisfied.
Canovas was embarrassed and didn't say anything else. If you want to say that these guys really have no money, then Yang Feng doesn't believe it. Half of the gold that Beauty Avatar found on the seabed came from the route from America to Spain. This was not shipped back. Those who were shipped back
It will definitely not be less than these. Even if the Spaniards can do whatever they can, they should have a lot of inventory at this time. In the later Spanish Civil War, he alone earned more than 50 tons of gold, and this was less than one-third of what Joseph earned.
, they must have more in their hands at this time, but they are reluctant to take it out.
With the conspiracy with the Spanish over, Prince Yang drove straight to London with satisfaction. In this city where he had been away for more than two years, he received a grand welcome that was completely befitting the status of a prince. Even a fool regarded himself as a prince with his brother.
Officially arrived at the dock to welcome His Royal Highness from China on behalf of his grandmother and father, which made Yang Feng somewhat uncomfortable.
After the welcome ceremony at the pier, he officially went to Buckingham Palace as China's Foreign Minister to meet with the old lady Victoria, and then had a meeting with British Prime Minister Salisbury to arrange some essential visit items, etc.
After the event was taken care of, Prince Yang began to return to his true self in this city. A grand welcome dance invited everyone who had friendship with him in London's upper class society, but it was not in his manor. How could that place be better?
As good as the Castle of Young's Medical Center, it has all kinds of entertainment facilities, including golf courses, racecourses, and hunting areas.
This medical center, which is entirely supported by his expensive modern medicines, has become the last refuge of life for the upper class in Europe. Most terminal diseases that cannot be treated by others will be solved here. This is Yang Feng's biggest protective umbrella in the world.
, under the service of beauties from all over the world in nurse uniforms, a group of wealthy and wealthy aristocrats drank and drank. Prince Yang couldn't help but raise his glass and said with emotion: "This is the real life!"
"Your Highness, then why do you have to go to China? I heard that it is still a world of barbarians." The fool's wife asked curiously. Her husband had already gone to Yang Feng with a group of bad elements to arrange
I went skating in my room. This relatively ladylike young woman didn't like that kind of smoky atmosphere, but she had a good impression of Poet Yang.
"When will the bright moon come? Ask the blue sky for wine." Her words made Prince Yang become very poetic. He suddenly ran to the balcony with a wine glass, chanted the English version of "Shui Tiao Song" translated by Lin Yutang to the moon, and then
He said to the chubby princess: "Your Highness, do you think a nation that wrote such verses hundreds of years ago would be associated with barbarism?"
