Something happened?What did I do?Did something happen?

Whitehead was filled with questions about what the Jin Yiwei Qianhu said, and the Jin Yiwei's aggressive tone also made him very angry.

Although your Ming army is very strong,

Although your Ming Navy is also very strong,

Although your Ming Dynasty has a large population,

Although you have developed various black technologies and various magical products emerge in endlessly,

Although your Ming Dynasty defeated the Netherlands in almost all aspects,

Although……

The more Whitehead thought about it, the more he lost his temper.

But after all, I am also the governor of the Dutch East India Company in Batavia!

When you speak, at least be gentle...

"Well, this respected military attache, what exactly are you talking about? Our Dutch East India Company has always been Ming Dynasty's most loyal partner, and we have not done anything against Ming Dynasty's interests!"

Whitehead whispered back.

He had probably guessed that the Ming people might have come here just for the arms matter, but could he admit it?Of course I refuse to admit it!

You said I sold arms to the Qing Dynasty, where is the evidence?

Even if you are Ming Dynasty, you must pay attention to evidence when doing things.

Looking at Whitehead who was acting stupid in front of him, the guard Qianhu didn't waste any time and directly handed over a stack of photos.

Whitehead curiously took the photo handed over by Jin Yiwei.

To be honest, this was the first time Whitehead had seen such a thing as a photo. At first, he was surprised when he saw the realistic things in the photo. He was still amazed that Daming had created another magical thing.

But his wonder soon turned to horror.

Because the content in the photo was clearly their four merchant ships carrying arms, and those armed merchant ships were firing at the "Ming Army warships"!

In the subsequent photos, he even saw Major Sinclair and other Dutch soldiers who were captured together with the Qing soldiers.

Isn't this the end of the calf?

"Mr. Military Attaché, is there any misunderstanding here? And this painting, it's so lifelike!"

With a cold sweat on his face, Heide tried to get through.

Jinyiwei Qianwei glanced at Whitehead who was covered in cold sweat and sneered:

"Your Excellency Governor Whitehead, the Dutch East India Company not only sold arms to the slave rebels but also opened fire on our Ming fleet without permission, causing serious losses to our Ming Dynasty!

In view of this matter, the circumstances are particularly serious, the nature is particularly bad, and the impact is extremely bad!I, His Majesty the Ming Emperor, give His Excellency the Governor two choices. "

"The first is to compensate me for Daming's losses!"

"The second is to go to war with the Ming Dynasty and cut off all commercial ties with the Ming Dynasty."

Whitehead was dumbfounded.

Isn’t this just a matter of not having a choice?

War with the Ming Dynasty?Isn't that just the old man who hangs himself because he thinks his life is too long?

The Ming Army and Navy have fought countless battles without losing a single battle since their emergence, and their strength is getting stronger and stronger like a snowball.

A few months ago, they couldn't defeat the Ming Royal Navy, and it was even more impossible to defeat them now.

And it is even more impossible to cut off all business ties with Ming Dynasty.

The magical products produced by Daming not only allowed them to make a lot of money, but also improved their quality of life by more than [-]%.

Look around at the furnishings in the Governor's Office.

Small desk lamps with glass lampshades, full-band radios, pens, mithril tea cups, these magical products all come from Daming. (Battery purchased separately)

Looking at the dazzling array of daily necessities and luxury goods on the market, you can see products made by Ming Dynasty wherever you go. Products from Ming Dynasty have filled the lives of the people of Batavia.

If the confession is suddenly cut off one day, the demonstration will be small, and the only fear is that the angry people will attack the Governor's Mansion.

After a long time, holding Heide sighed and said resignedly.

"I wonder, Your Excellency, Military Attaché, how can the Dutch East India Company compensate us in order to appease the anger of His Majesty the Ming Emperor?"

Seeing that he was pregnant with Heide and admitting defeat, Jin Yiwei Qianhu raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"In view of the extremely bad nature of this matter, His Majesty the Emperor believes that the Dutch East India Company must compensate the Ming Dynasty 300 million dragon yuan before this matter can be dropped. After the compensation is paid, we will immediately release the Dutch captured soldiers. Of course, the Dutch East India Company The food and lodging expenses of these captured soldiers must also be paid.”

When Whitehead heard Jin Yiwei Qianhu's demand for compensation, he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Not only could I not get a penny from the 200 million taels of silver business that I co-authored, but I also had to pay back 100 million!

Hundreds of soldiers, 4 armed merchant ships, and 3 modified rifles were brought in, but they couldn't even get a hair out of them. They had to pay another 100 million, and they had to pay the prisoners' magical "board and lodging fees"!

He clearly remembered the last Minghe Agreement, and they were defrauded of a lot of money by the food and lodging expenses.

"Oh God! Your loyal people are being bullied by those greedy Akito, why don't you show up and kill those damn Akito!" Whitehead blew his beard and stared, wailing in his heart.

This Ming Dynasty is simply too deceptive!

but!Can't beat it!

"Dear Attaché, the compensation of 300 million dragon yuan is too exaggerated. Even if I am the Governor of Batavia, I have no right to make decisions without authorization, and the board of directors cannot agree to such a compensation price. Do you think this compensation price can be Let’s discuss it again?”

Whitehead lowered his stance again. He couldn't understand why the Dutch East India Company, which once dominated the entire East, had fallen to this point. Has the Netherlands already declined to this point?

Jinyiwei Qianhu ignored Whitehead's bargaining and said coldly.

"Your Majesty the Governor, I am not discussing the compensation price with you, but I am making a notice."

"You have only two choices, go to war or make compensation."

"Yes or no!"

After hearing Jin Yiwei's words, Whitehead rolled his eyes and fainted.

Looking at the chaos among the waiters, Jin Yiwei Qianhu left a message, "We will wait for the reply from His Excellency the Governor" and left.

He didn't know whether Whitehead was pretending to be dizzy or really dizzy, but did it matter?

If you dare to mess with Daming, you will have to pay the price.

Don't say you just fainted, even if you got cold, Daming will dig out your burial objects as compensation.

……

Two days later, Dingtianfu received a telegram from Batavia.

"Your Majesty, the Dutch have promised compensation of 300 million dragon yuan and have handed over the compensation to the Batavia Thousand Households Office. The Dutch require us to release their prisoners as soon as possible."

Wang Chen said while holding the telegram.

"The Dutch moved very quickly this time." Zhu Heyi said with a smile.

"Maybe they are afraid of paying more for room and board. So how much room and board should we ask the Dutch to pay this time?"

Wang Chen also said with a smile on his face.

Zhu Heyi touched his smooth chin and said slowly.

"There are only 22 prisoners in total this time. Let's calculate the room and board expenses for each person at 1 dragon yuan. For 22 people, the total is 22 dragon yuan."

"Hey, it's quite troublesome to find this small amount of money from the Dutch. Let's round it up to 50 dragon yuan."

“That’s it, it’s 50 yuan for room and board!”
