Liu Hai didn't buy Sir Dounale's account. He slapped the table and said arrogantly: "Either give me this land in the west, or give me the whole of Myanmar. You choose."
Seeing Liu Hai's unreasonable behavior, Sir Dou Nale also felt angry. However, the current situation was stronger than others. In order to minimize the losses of Geely Country, he could only pinch his nose and agree to cede this land in the west of Myanmar.
Give bangs.
Seeing that the other party agreed, Liu Hai smiled again, and then said to Sir Dou Nale: "Don't be unhappy, you have taken advantage of it this time. Look, I have given up half of the land to you.
, what else do you want?"
Sir Dou Nale was helpless after hearing Liu Hai's helpless words. Myanmar was originally ours, how could it become half of the land you gave us?
Liu Hai got the advantage and stopped being nice, but said: "Then it's settled, Myanmar is divided into two, the west part belongs to our Qing Dynasty, and the east part still belongs to you."
"Okay then, that's it for Article 2?"
Sir Dounale felt that he had just taken a step back and should be able to get some compensation in Article 3, so he said: "I think we should shelve the issue of compensation in Article 3."
After Sir Dou Nale finished speaking, he stared into Liu Hai's eyes, trying to get some clues from his face.
You must know that 15 million pounds is not a small amount. At that time, the currencies of all countries were on the gold standard, and the annual income of a territory as large as the British Empire was less than 300 million pounds.
If this money were converted into silver, it would be equivalent to 100 million taels of treasury silver.
Liu Hai was a little unhappy after hearing this. This time he sent troops to use his own capital. If he didn't earn back the money, he would lose money.
"I think it is only natural for the defeated to pay compensation to the victors. If I cannot get satisfactory funds for this matter, I can only go and make up the money myself at a suitable place."
When Liu Hai said this, his hand couldn't help but look like the map placed in the center of the negotiation table, pointing in the direction of Asanguo.
This meaning is very obvious. If you don't pay, I will have no choice but to go to Asan Kingdom to rob it.
Sir Dou Nale was furious when he heard this. They were not officials of a country. They were simply bandits and pirates.
But he forgot about the Geely Kingdom. When he was strong, wasn't he also a pirate in the eyes of other countries?
However, in order to end the negotiation as soon as possible, Sir Donal could only take a long breath, and then said with a sullen face: "The price of 15 million pounds is too high, I think 5 million pounds is a reasonable price.
"
When Liu Hai heard this, he put on a smile again on his face, but what he was thinking in his heart was, what did you do earlier? But 5 million is still less, and he should get another deal from the other party.
"Ahem," Liu Hai pretended to cough, and then said: "5 million pounds cannot meet my lowest psychological expectations. I think it must reach at least 12 million pounds to reach an agreement."
"Mr. Governor, don't be too greedy. The most I can offer is 8 million pounds."
"10 million, this is my bottom line. If it is lower, there is no need for us to continue talking."
Sir Dou Nale looked at Liu Hai across from him and his face was livid, thinking that this time Liu Hai went to war, the Qing government did not pay him a penny.
If Liu Hai wants to support such a big war with his financial strength, he is probably in financial crisis now, and this 10 million pounds should be his bottom line.
Sir Dou Nale felt that it was almost done and could not lower it any further, otherwise the bangs might really turn the table.
Thinking of this, Sir Dou Nale had some regrets. If he had known that Liu Hai's economy was on the verge of collapse, he should have persisted a little longer. By then, Liu Hai would have been defeated without a fight.
But now that the matter has come to this, these hindsights are of little use.
"Okay, I agree with Mr. Liu Hai, just 10 million pounds."
When they got here, both parties seemed to be relieved, and each was a little happy. One was because he paid less money, and the other was because he made a lot of money. Both parties were very satisfied with this condition.
Next, Liu Hai felt that he should be discussing the two gold ships of the Japanese country. Liu Hai started the war from the auspicious country this time because the auspicious country had seized two Japanese battleships.
As the protector and actual controller of the Japanese country, he naturally wanted to fight for his younger brother.
Now that the war is over, it is time to give an explanation to the Japanese country.
"Sir Doona Le, I think the cause of the war was caused by the two Japanese battleships. Now that the war is about to end, I hope that these two battleships can be reclassified to the Japanese navy."
Sir Donaler didn't care about the problem of these two battleships at all. Compared with the previous half Burma and 15 million pounds, these two battleships can be said to be a drop in the bucket.
"There is no problem. The British Empire will deliver two warships to the Japanese navy in the shortest possible time."
"Then we have no opinion on this one. The next step is the issue of the Gili Colony and the adoption of equal policies towards the merchants of the Qing Empire."
Sir Dou Nale frowned after hearing this. It was easy to say anything else, but he couldn't agree to this one no matter what. Wouldn't this make him unhappy?
Originally, the British Empire, its own colony, had absolute leadership, and merchants also made huge profits in each colony.
If I dare to find a competitor for them in the colonies, I'm afraid they will be killed in the Qing Dynasty without even returning to England.
"This matter is completely unacceptable. This is the bottom line of the British Empire. If Mr. Liu Hai continues to insist on this, I can only regretfully announce that the negotiations have broken down."
Liu Hai saw Sir Dou Nale's tough attitude. This was the first time that he had such a tough attitude since the beginning of the negotiation.
Liu Hai sat across from him and thought silently. Is this the opponent's strategy, or is he really unable to touch this bottom line?
Zhao Jiahua, who was sitting next to Liu Hai, was already very satisfied with the agreement reached on the first few conditions. When he saw Sir Dou Nale opposite, his patience seemed to have reached the limit. In order not to destroy the result reached this time, he secretly
He pulled the sleeves of his bangs.
This is sending a message to Liu Hai, telling him that enough is enough, and there is no need to let the negotiation break down over these trivial matters, causing the duck to fly away.
Liu Hai was reminded by Zhao Jiahua and thought for a while. Qing businessmen could not go overseas now, so even if they had this option, they would not gain much. It was better to sell favors so that the negotiations could continue.
"Okay, I can give in on this one, forget it."
Seeing that the negotiation had lasted for so long, Sir Dou Nale finally gave in and let out a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he also saw from this point that Liu Hai did not want the negotiation to break down, so he made slight improvements to the subsequent negotiation strategy.
"Mr. Governor, the last point you mentioned is that the Kyrgyz Republic is not allowed to deploy warships of more than 10,000 tons in East Asia. This is also unacceptable. I can tell you clearly that the Kyrgyz Republic's navy has the right to sail in any sea area in the world.

Liu Hai gritted his teeth when he heard this. The reason why Liu Hai requested that British warships of more than 10,000 tons should not appear in East Asia was also for his hegemony in East Asia.
Now it seems that I am still fanciful. Although I already have the most powerful navy on the planet, my family members are well known.
This time Liu Hai's battle did not cost much money for the artillery shells? But with so many missiles launched, each one cost several million. If the battle continues like this, I am afraid that not all the ships of the Geely Navy have been destroyed.
After the explosion, he was bankrupt.
It seems that I still have to work hard on my internal strength and strive for greater economic development so that my war potential can make a greater leap forward.
"Okay, I agree with you, let's not mention this again."
Dou Nale's smile widened even more when he heard Liu Hai compromised again. He secretly regretted it in his heart. If he had known Liu Hai was so weak, he should have opened his mouth and set Liu Hai's conditions at the beginning.
Go down some.
However, this is his wishful thinking on the first few conditions, which are Liu Hai's bottom line. The last two are added by Liu Hai at will. It is good if Geely can agree to it. If he does not agree, Liu Hai will not suffer any loss.
Seeing that all the negotiation conditions had been reached, Sir Dou Nalok happily asked Liu Hai, "Now that the negotiations have ended, I wonder when the Governor-General's army will withdraw from the Strait of Malacca."
Liu Hai was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Sir Dou Nale to be waiting for him here.
Zhao Jiahua, who was sitting next to Liu Hai, couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and said: "The first article of the text I handed you yesterday is that all the land we occupied belongs to the Qing Dynasty. Didn't you read it?
"
Sir Dou Nale actually knew in his heart that these lands could not be taken back, but when he saw Liu Hai taking such a big advantage, he also wanted to embarrass him, so he said forcefully: "We just negotiated, but you didn't mention this.
I thought you didn’t take it to heart. Now that the negotiations have ended, I naturally think that you should return the Strait of Malacca and Malay territory to us.”
After hearing this, Liu Hai slapped the table directly, pointed at Sir Dou Nale and roared: "Are you kidding me here? If you do this again, I can only overthrow all previous agreements and ask the Gili government to renew
New personnel have been sent to negotiate."
Sir Dou Nale looked at Liu Hai standing opposite, and his face was already red with anger. He didn't care, and then said in a moment: "Since this is the case, then let these territories be put aside for the time being, and do not appear in the treaty. I don't know Liu Hai."
