Chapter 60 Acts of Imperialism (8)
After looking at the representatives of the big capitalists present, it can be said that they included the most imperialist and colonialist people in the country. They asked with a smile: "Is this the collective view of your group? What I talked with the Netherlands is open. I don't think there is anything that can make you angry, right?"
One person said: "We believe this, but we hope Mr. Chen can consider more realistic things. We are a republic, and of course we think that the republic is a tradition and is correct. I don't know if Mr. Chen's contact with the Netherlands is purely for the benefit, or because the Netherlands is a republic, you have to look up to the Netherlands for this correctness and tradition?"
Chen Jian shook his head and said, "You have always known the propaganda of our party. We don't think that the republic is correct."
"That's the best. I just said something, since Mr. Chen didn't love it because the other party was a so-called republic, then we will only talk about interests."
Chen Jian nodded and said, "Of course, isn't you getting together for the sake of profit? We talk to you about our ideas and play the piano for cows. But at least one thing, we all believe in profit analysis, but we use it to make profits for some things."
This tit-for-tat thing was not ridiculed, and the other party accepted it calmly. One person thought about it for a while and said in very blunt words: "Our internal opinions have been decided. Whether it is Nanyang Company or our Indian Company, we do not want Mr. Chen to maintain a close relationship with the Netherlands. It can be said that Netherlands hindered the interests of our two companies, and our two companies are not only our companies, but also the operating landlords and factory owners behind them."
"If Europe is going to be in chaos, we think this is an opportunity to establish a new order. Even if we don't want to admit it now, or emotionally, emotionally or gloriously, we have to say that the world's trade order is dominated by Europeans at this time, so we must destroy the old and establish the new."
"They have been sailing around the world for more than a hundred years. They have established strongholds in Asia, Africa, South Fusang and other places, which dominates trade, but they are full of contradictions."
"So, if there must be a war in Europe, it is our opportunity to dominate the world trade order. We do not want anyone to influence or hinder this matter, and for the sake of our ancestors, we will never allow it."
Chen Jian's mouth twitched, but he nodded.
The order of world trade is not the same as the order of world trade, but the order of world trade is like a maggot, while the order of world trade is a fly. The relationship between the two is too close and in line with each other.
Only when the world has changed from isolated islands to a truly spherical world due to trade can it be qualified to discuss the order of the world.
For the Mo Party, what they want is the order of the world rather than the order of world trade. But for Chen Jian, he understood that if the order of the world is to have a new order of world trade.
When the other party saw Chen Jian nodding, he continued: "Nanyang Company is very dissatisfied with the Dutch's sea control and trade monopoly in Europe. They made too much money as a second dealer, and Nanyang Company is very dissatisfied. Four years ago, Nanyang Company needed a second dealer to go deep into Europe, but after the chaos in Europe more than ten years later, Nanyang Company no longer needs such a second dealer."
"Our Indian company wants land rent, but also wants spice trade, so we don't like Portuguese or Dutch. We don't need a Dutch."
"I hope Mr. Chen will recognize a reality. Before you cooperated with the Dutch, that's because you lacked strength."
"Indeed, your Mo Party and Mr. Chen's factories and reputation are nicknamed the 37th county by the Chinese people. However, Mr. Chen, you have to figure out that your 37th county needs to cooperate with the Dutch because you lack strength, but... the Republic is still there. Even if the class of the Republic is divided as you said, the power of the rest of the Republic is not non-existent."
"The 37th counties need to win over the Dutch and gain a foothold, but the 37 counties do not need to be silly with the Dutch."
"If Europe is in chaos, Nanyang Company hopes that Spain will decline and give Nanyang Company more trading rights, and also hopes that the Netherlands' maritime rights advantage will be over, so that Nanyang Company can bypass them for direct trade in Europe."
"Similarly, we need a declining Communist Party of the Spanish-Portugal who has no strength to extend to Asia, India and spice-producing places, but we don't want to see a Netherlands, which has replaced the Communist Party of the Spanish-Portugal, show off its might in Asia."
"You are the 37th county, not a country with the same power as the 37th county. You dare not say that there are 36 counties behind you, but there are still powers of six or seven counties. Money is no problem; people are no problem; so we hope that Mr. Chen can pave the way for the future and set the tone when negotiating with the Netherlands, Sweden or other European countries."
Chen Jian asked: "What tone? Or what kind of Europe do you want?"
The opposite side was silent for a while and said slowly: "We need a strong France, not a strong Netherlands. I hope Mr. Chen can put his strength in this regard."
Jumped from Malacca, Manila to Spain, then from Spain to the Netherlands, and finally to France, which was not mentioned before. The people on the other side were not surprised and said calmly: "We may not understand the situation in Europe as Mr. Chen, but as Mr. Chen said in the induction method, there are always similarities in this era of nationwide countries. For example, the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period mentioned in the "Global Experiences" written by Mr. Chen, the situation before the War of Unification in Japan... were similar."
"Our grandfathers participated in the War of Unification. That generation of straitors has not yet died, their thoughts have not yet been hidden, and our minds are very clear."
"Just like the powerful Weihou Kingdom a hundred years ago, when Ji Xia divided the feudal powers, he was destined that Weihou needs a powerful army to remain strong. Just like the pseudo-Qi Kingdom today, if they want to establish a country, they need a powerful navy."
"We need Spain to decline, and we don't want the Netherlands' navy to continue to strait Europe, so we need a strong France. It is strong enough to threaten Spain and force Spain to continue to maintain its army; it is strong enough to threaten the Netherlands and the states in the north, and in turn it forces France to be attacked from all sides and have to focus on the army and cannot build a navy that can threaten ours."
"The land and people in Europe are meaningless to us. What we need is sea rights, trade rights, and overseas. No matter what the differences between us and your party are like, one thing is that the Great Wilderness City is not far from Europe, and your party does not want your paradise to be threatened by Europe."
"Let France be the dog with chains and bite Spain and the Netherlands. Then all the problems are not a problem. Whether it is an Indian company or a Nanyang company, the problems considered are not a problem. This is the root cause."
"What are Manila, India, African slave trade, Spanish colony smuggling trade, European direct trade, and your party's plan for the Great Wilderness City, all of these can be solved."
"If the root cause is cured, the symptoms will naturally be cured. If you only focus on a single problem, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Of course, if Mr. Chen's operation can make Sweden strong and thus establish a northern religious German alliance to confront France, it would be the best. In the future, we do not want to see a single and powerful French that may block tariffs, but this is an unexpected surprise."
It is not necessarily wrong to be closed to the country. If France is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the one who is the one who is in the country to develop the internal market as these people say, it is the only right choice. Otherwise, there will be no tariff protection that is as powerful as seclusion, and it will be a dead end.
After these people said so much, some of the questions became interesting.
Today, Britain is just a worthless small country in the eyes of these people.
The representative of the new sea power was the Netherlands at this time, and the king of the old European colonial system was Spain. It was France that needed support when the mad dog bites people everywhere, and Britain's status had almost no sense of existence at this time.
These people have too great ambitions, but their ambitions are not as great as the so-called unification of the world, because they are unprofitable. Their ambitions are only the dominant players of world trade. In other words, they are the dominant players of world colonial order.
This is not difficult. It seems like a scary dream, but in fact it does not have many enemies to face.
A Dutch Indian company with more than 2,000 people and twenty armed merchant ships in Asia; a Spanish colonial governor who could not even clear out the pirates themselves and needed to sign the Anti-Piracy Convention with the Republic to drink wine; a Portugal, which had been declining in Asia for decades and was very dissatisfied with the Spanish Communist Party; and a France that provided loans and weapons support when necessary.
The first three need to go bare-handed, and even the strongest Netherlands, there are only about twenty people and twenty armed merchant ships at this time. The so-called 37th counties need to deal with it, but the capital and power groups with common interests in the country do not need to deal with it. As long as the Mexican Party no longer reaches out and has the advantage of intercepting trade winds, ocean currents and ends of the world, the Dutch's little power in Asia is really not enough.
The latter one needs to exert the spirit of stirring up the scoundrels between the Unification War, join forces and dig out a big pit that makes Europe impossible to be stable, and use what Chen Jian said about the chaos in Europe to completely establish a new order of mutual checks and balances in Europe.
Just like the French issue, it seems to have no direct connection with the Manila Luzon Malacca Spice Islands, but it can fundamentally leverage these places.
Hearing the demands of these people, Chen Jian understood that he could stay away from these people in the future. They had begun to learn how to be a qualified imperialist and colonialist, and this stage of teaching was also completed.
Just as these people's small group ruled out Chen Jian for the first time, Chen Jian also needs to completely draw a line with these people from now on and out of touch.
