Blackstone Code Chapter 341: New conditions
It was still in a room with relaxing music playing, Lynch was sitting on the sofa, and Governor Drago was sitting across from him.
In addition to the provincial governor, there are several accompanying staff members who are in private contact with Lynch.
Logically speaking, although this kind of thing is not illegal, it is not too good. After all, this kind of private contact is easy to misunderstand, but whether it is Mr. Truman's side or the representative of Nagalil The group doesn't care about that.
Now the situation has become a little more complicated. After Preton moved out of Gavra's Royal Navy, not only did his passiveness not resolve, but he began to move in an unknown direction that no one knew about.
Gevra is also discussing the possibility of the next... No, it is a naval battle that will inevitably break out, and some people even proposed an idea to fight the Federation once on the land of the United Kingdom of Nagalil" Patriotic War".
The person who proposed this idea is actually the same as the Federation, or in other words, like Lynch and others, greedy for the resources on this land.
Whether there is or not, fight first, and if there is, it is the best, these resources can make up for the military expenditure of Gaevra in helping the United Kingdom of Nagalil against the invaders, as well as various kind of expenditure.
If not, that's okay, in Gefra's form of imperialism, turning Nagalil into a cash machine isn't much of a challenge.
This idea already has supporters within Gevra, and the Nagalils are able to make up for some of the gains they lost in this world war, but not recovered.
However, everyone is still a little hesitant, that is, the assessment of the combat effectiveness of the Federation.
They instinctively believed that the strength of the federal navy was definitely not as good as theirs, but there was a little uncertainty, which was actually quite normal.
Until the war really breaks out and the results come out, no one dares to say that he will win.
In history, there have been many battles and even wars where the power disparity was reversed.
There are actually some contradictions in Gefra's current thinking. They want to figure out how the Federation's combat effectiveness is, and they are greedy for everything that Nagalil has and does not have.
At the same time, they are reluctant to drag themselves into a protracted war, consuming the little remaining war potential.
This ambivalence has led to another phenomenon, that is, Nagalil is also unable to make a choice.
This is the tragedy of small countries. On diplomatic issues, even on issues of sovereignty, they don't have the slightest bit of autonomy. They can only see the thoughts and thoughts of those big countries constantly changing their positions.
The people in the room were silent. The news from Nagalil told them to continue to wait, but Drago and some other people couldn't wait any longer. It was a torment.
It also made them feel an urgent need to change. Only when they are strong can they not look at other people's faces.
As the main representative to promote the establishment of diplomatic relations, Degra now undertakes the important task of communicating with the Federation. Although the country allows them to delay as much as possible, the delegation must also consider its own position.
Nagalil is not a united nation, although it may not appear to be.
For example, the Governor of Degra, he doesn't care what will happen to the United Kingdom of Nagalil. He only cares about what will happen to his family and the province of Magura if war does break out.
As for the others?
Who cares if they live or die!
The Governor of Degra has no acquaintances on Gaevra's side, which makes him lack the basis for communication with Gaevra. He can only find Lynch.
"I, and all of you here, support the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Federation..." Governor Degra opened his head. He looked at the others, and the others nodded, all of whom represented a certain province. Governor, or a certain parish.
His eyes moved back to Lynch, "Before the next negotiation officially begins, we would like to talk about what we can get if we both reach an agreement to establish friendly and mutually helpful diplomatic relations."
This is a way of showing sincerity. We are already discussing things after the establishment of diplomatic relations. Can there be more sincerity than this?
At the same time, this is also a helpless choice. Since there is always one to choose, then choose the more suitable one.
Compared with Preton's conditions to give them more profit sharing and lower prices of imported goods, they are actually more inclined to establish diplomatic relations with the Federation.
If Preton hadn't moved out of the Royal Navy in Gavra, perhaps Nagalil and the Federation would have submitted their credentials by now.
To a certain extent, the Preton Firm actually controls the customs power of Nagalil in a practical sense, but what he does is very wonderful, very covert, and will not be disgusting, but the fact is fact.
It seems like a good option if Preton can be expelled and retaken, and with federal technical support.
Listening to what Governor Drago said, Lynch shook his head slightly, "The conditions we offered are already the most favorable conditions, and these conditions..." He chuckled twice, "Because Your arrogance may change."
There was a little confusion on the face of Governor Drago, "I don't understand what I heard."
Sometimes people are like this. You give others face, but they regard it as awe.
Lynch put down the wine glass in his hand, "Let me put it this way, neither I nor the federal government are very satisfied with your swaying attitude. It's all because you didn't stand up to the pressure."
"The agreements we negotiated before are all voided, and there will be some new content next, and it will not be as good as before."
Lynch looked at Governor Drago, at the changing expression on his face, at the changing expression in his eyes, "Let's say something in private, in fact now the federal government is more inclined to refuse you Establish diplomatic relations so that we can fight a vengeance battle with Gefra around the seas and lands of Nagalil."
"You people, Nagalil's land, resources and everything, will eventually be divided and dominated by the victors."
"The changing attitudes and positions are disgusting, Your Excellency Governor, I'm tired of it, and so is Mr. Trueman."
These words can be said to be very rude, but Governor Degra did not get angry because of it. Of course, there were some emotional expressions and changes on his face, but in general, he can still control it very well. Own. First release www.(x81zw)m./x81zw/
"I can understand!" He said the words that made Lynch smile. He understood Lynch's mean language and some changes in his diplomatic attitude.
In the end, it was him and Nagalil who were not strong enough to do anything.
"I will actively persuade the delegation to make a decision, but what should I use to convince them?" Facing the somewhat aggressive Lynch, Drager's attitude and tone did not change much, no matter if he was restraining Whether it is himself, or this is his real situation, he has to endure it.
Lynch pursed his lips and thought for a while, "If you maintain this attitude from the beginning, some disputes will not break out. After all, Preton is just a person, a pirate businessman, he does not represent anyone, but more not a country.”
"When the Confederate fleet destroys his last resort at sea, he will have no other way than to be hanged as a pirate!"
While speaking, Lynch paused for a while and continued, "The things we talked about will generally not change, but some details will change."
"First of all, the financial assistance given to you by the federal government can only be used to pay for the employment of federal workers, the construction of factories and facilities designated by us, the introduction of goods and raw materials designated by us, and cannot be used in other places, and the money must be Subject to our supervision and used under supervision."
This is much stricter than the previous one. Previously, the federation put forward the condition that only half of the funds should be supervised and belonged to special funds, but now it has become all.
However, this change is of little significance to Governor Degra, and to others.
They can only share a small part of the profits, and the majority of them belong to the central government. After all, the central government is still the nominal supreme ruling institution of Nagalil. New 81 Chinese website update fastest computer: https://www.@x81zw@@
Several people did not have much discussion ~IndoMTL.com~ nodded and agreed with Lynch's point of view.
"Second..." He stretched out two fingers, "In the construction projects of factories and facilities we negotiated before, more than 70% of the workers used in the construction process must be Citizens of the Commonwealth."
"The percentage of federal workers in subsequent production at these factories must not fall below 30 percent."
This condition is a bit harsh, but after the Governor of Degra and others discussed it, he felt that there was still no problem. Although from a certain point of view, they had to pay a lot of wages to federal workers every month, but in fact this was not a problem. The money was paid by the federal people themselves, and they had nothing to lose, so naturally they would not refuse it.
The smile on Lynch's face also increased, "Thirdly, the Federal Sol must become the legal official currency of the United Kingdom of Nagalil."
When he made this third main request or opinion, Governor Degra did not agree immediately. The several of them discussed it for a while, and Lynch kept observing the changes in their expressions.
Except for Degra and a slightly younger governor or governor's representative, everyone else seemed indifferent.
Some people even think this proposal is a good idea. At least the Federal Sol is one of the currencies in international circulation and can be used directly in many countries, but their own Galil, if they want to find a place that can be exchanged according to the official exchange rate. not.
The Governor of Degra still doesn't know what's special about this request. He just instinctively thinks that there may be a trap.
In fact, if we talk about a trap, it's not a trap, it's just a huge surprise.
