The observers hastily moved their family to the Sunflower.

Although the cabins there were small, even VIPs like observers had to be in the cabin with two people, and the southward voyage would not start until after breakfast tomorrow, but they still moved there.

Lorraine knew they needed time to decipher the fine print of the treaty, including what Drake wanted, what they wanted, what Drake was willing to give them, and what they could fight for.

This is the value of the draft.

The real negotiations will begin with the bloodshed of their mercenaries in Muscat, and until then, everything is false.

Baker and Emmons never looked up.

They also have a contract in their hands, which is quite different from the contract marked with the clover stamp. Their contract is called the Anglo-Malaysian Friendship and Trade Agreement.

The details of the agreement include: the UK needs to build and operate five large trading ports for the Sultanate within ten years, including Mirbat, Sur, Matra, Sohar and Kumzar. In return, the UK will To preside over the taxation, customs, judicial and defense arrangements of the terminal within 68 years;

The terminal transaction tax is a sacred and inviolable national property of the Sultanate, which needs to be settled every three years and transferred to the financial department of the Sultanate government in a unified manner without arrears; the customs duty is the pledge of the construction project, and the 50-50 share will be implemented during the period of the British managed terminal , win-win and mutual benefit;

The United Kingdom has the sole jurisdiction in the self-built dock area, including Sudanese nationals, who must abide by the laws of the United Kingdom in the jurisdiction;

In order to protect the safety and order of British merchants, expatriates and wharf management companies, the UK has the right to station no more than 74 warships or fleets in each port, with no more than 240 marines attached to it, and can recruit, arm and train local police, in principle The ratio of the local police to the garrison is no more than 5 to 1;

For the convenience of coordination, the garrisons in the five ports should be calculated uniformly, coordinated and dispatched, and the total number of garrisons should not exceed 370 fleets and 1,200 marines;

The five-port garrison has the obligation to protect the Sultanate from the enemies of the sea, and to assist the Sultanate in rebuilding its navy and training modern naval officers;

The British leased the entire island of Masirah to the Sultanate, including all the property and population of the island and the 300 miles of coastline, at a rent of £12 per square mile per year for a period of 99 years;

During the lease period, Masirah Island was regarded as the territory of the United Kingdom, and the United Kingdom enjoyed all natural rights in the territory,

And enjoy one-time lease renewal priority, the lease renewal period is 99 years, and the renewal rent can be negotiated by the leaders of both parties at that time;

The Batinah region of the Sultanate should enjoy the same autonomy as the Riaman region, including armed, diplomatic, financial and administrative independence. The Batinah Governor's Palace should be established. The choice of the governor should be determined by the British and Malaysian parties. Neither side has the right to act independently. The side deprives, replaces, and judges the governor of Batinai, and has no right to adjust the existing borders of Batinai in any form...

Etc., etc.

The above are just some of the more eye-catching details in the entire agreement. During the time when Lorraine and Carmen jointly hypnotized the three observers, Baker and Emmons have read it no less than five times.

There is only shock in their hearts.

This era is not without the concept of semi-colonies, let alone the existence of evils that use power to plunder sovereignty and declare justice with guns.

For example, the content of the agreement determined by Lorraine, except for some small items related to the chamber of commerce, most of the content is actually not his original creation. At least during the long colonial years, Britain has implemented similar or even more hegemonic clauses in other places countless times, and it can be said that it has rich experience.

But the semi-colonial choice itself means that the country has no value in being completely conquered.

Most of them have strength or potential above the level, and their characterizations are clear enough to let every British person with a brain know that sticking to King's Landing will not be worth the candle.

Because of this, Baker had never heard of a semi-colonial process led by a single chamber of commerce.

Because even the world's top chaebol chamber of commerce should not have the ability to independently defeat a second-strong country in theory.

Until tonight, for the first time, Baker had a real feeling.

Known as the most powerful navy in the Arab world, the Sultan Bargara Guard was completely wiped out;

The coastal battery of Matola Port, all destroyed;

A regiment of the National Defense Guard stationed at Milani Castle, this dry city armed force has apparently abandoned its duties, and became a spectator or even an accomplice under Lorraine's cup of black tea.

In the blink of an eye, Muscat's impregnable defense line of the capital was only left with the Second Regiment of the National Defense Guard at Jalali Castle and the Sultan's Guard guarding the palace, but who knew what Lorraine had prepared for them?

The Drake Chamber of Commerce... Lorraine is using his mighty power to crush the opponent's proud head little by little. He is about to crush the opponent to death on the negotiating table, and use a contract to convert all the achievements and advantages so far into The sweet and delicious fruit of victory.

Baker didn't understand why Lorraine would come up with such an alliance led by the UK instead of the Drake Chamber of Commerce, even though it was already at this time.

Fortunately, Lorraine gave him a private hint in advance.

He waited patiently until the three extremely excited observers finished their fuss, and then he found Lorraine who was enjoying the wind alone on the upper deck of the stern cabin surrounded by the distant fire.

Mr. President...

Lorraine turned around and nodded silently to Baker with a smile: Across the sea, would you believe me if I said that I really did not expect such a tragic scene to happen?

If you want to be trusted, I'm willing to go against my heart. Baker gave an answer that didn't look like a businessman at all.

It seems that you also feel that this fire is against humanity... Lorraine smiled wryly, Those who howled in the sea of ​​fire were not soldiers, not warriors, and they did not have the ability to cross the sea to threaten me. Burning them is not enough. To shake the sultan's determination to resist... In short, I have no reason not to show mercy to them.

But I really didn't preview this treacherous and cunning conspiracy.

When I released the second prince, I never thought that I could push Muscat to this point. Even, I didn't know anything about Muscat at that time. The purpose of my release of the second prince was to find Betrayers, and I found it, and through them I bought the Castle of Milani.

On the other hand, the prince loyal to the country did not accept my temptation and took my perfunctory as the truth. The combination of the two is the purgatory before our eyes.

Baker suddenly didn't know what to say.

He vaguely felt that what Lorraine said was true, although the truth sounded more false than the fake, but just like what Lorraine said, he had no reason not to show cheap kindness to the common people.

He tried to calm down: Mr. President, the omniscient Lord knows the goodness in your heart...

First, I don't have kindness in my heart, at least not to this country; second, my Lord doesn't know everything, and he doesn't bother to care about these trivial matters. Lorraine waved his hand, Mr. Manager, have you read the agreement we drafted? ?”

Read it five times. Since Lorraine didn't have the time to continue talking about heavy topics, Baker naturally followed suit and immediately turned to business, I'm very confused.

What are you wondering about?

Reason, or motivation. Baker said bluntly, Great Britain will not give you more than a country that is neither poor nor weak. Why do you want to give up the current good situation and remove yourself from the position of chief envoy? Willing to be the foil of Great Britain. Patriotic?

Lorraine laughed loudly when he heard this: Patriotism is really a versatile word, and it can explain everything that needs to be explained at once.

Then what is your reason...

You guessed right, my only reason is patriotism. Lorraine said in a teasing voice, Portugal slandered me, and that's why this war started. The war has been going on until now, whether it's you or those few Interesting observers seem to have forgotten that the cause of the war was the Muscat Sultanate's shelter for Portuguese pirates.

Those pirates are still in Gakhlier. My people have sneaked in. I know that Governor Fernandez of Mombasa negotiated several times to ask Gakhiril to hand over the Portuguese who had asylum, but Gakhiril refused. Why? Because of the Sultanate Everyone still remembers the cause of this war, those Portuguese are the targets, and they belong only to the winners of this war.

Because of this, this war actually has a weird ecology. In a normal war, both sides should have their own justice, but in this one, I am the only justice.

What's the use of justice? Lorraine shrugged. It's useless. It can neither change the nature of my aggressor, nor bind me and make me give up my determination to pursue interests. In the final analysis, it only has one annoying effect. That is because of the existence of justice and evil, the Sultanate could not change course during the war and use these Portuguese to reach a settlement with me.

This war must be carried on to the end until one side is defeated and everything is lost. It's the same for me and Sudan. Speaking of this, Lorraine stomped depressingly: It's a pity that you are not good at military affairs, maybe You should speak to Colonel Emmons.

Baker was stunned: Why did you mention Colonel Emmons all of a sudden?

Because he will tell you the truth of this war, and will tell you the weakness and powerlessness of the Drake Chamber of Commerce concealed under the triumphant advance.

You should have heard my conversation with those observers. I told them that I would shell Muscat for forty-five days. Why? Drake's consistent principle of benefit sharing is only secondary here, and the long-term shelling is arranged The root cause is simply that until I have enough reinforcements, I can't do anything but shell.

The Sultan's Guard has two thousand well-armed men; Jalali Castle has thirty heavy guns covering most of the city, and fifteen hundred well-trained soldiers; Milani Castle has another fifteen hundred men No one knows how long my bribe can lure them...but the only ones I can transfer to land are the 880 people who have landed.

I've played all my cards. Lorraine grinned, If I want to become the victor of the war, I can only tempt you with greater benefits. After all, in this vast primitive continent, only you are qualified to let My dear motherland has served me limited justice on the premise of making money and not losing money.

It's time to end the conversation for tonight.

Dear Mr. Willow Baker, please tell me, is it a golden ax that you dropped in this bay? A silver ax? Or a murderous iron ax?
