The observers hurriedly moved their homes to the Sunflower.

Although the cabins there are small, even VIPs like observers must be two people into the cabin, and the voyage to the south will not set sail until after breakfast tomorrow, but they still moved in.

Lorraine knew they needed time to interpret the rules 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 meeting will begin with the bleeding of their mercenary team in Muscat. Until then, everything is vain.

Baker and Emmons never looked up.

They also have a contract in hand, which is completely different from the contract marked with the clover stamp. Their contract is called the "British-Malaysian Friendship Agreement on Trade."

The details of the agreement include: Britain needs to build and operate five large commercial terminals for the Sultanate within ten years, including Mirbat, Sur, Matera, Sohar and Kumzal. In return, the UK will be in the next Presided 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. It needs to be settled every three years and transferred to the financial department of the Sultanate government without arrears. The tariff is the pledge of construction projects. During the period when the British escrow terminal is in charge, it will be divided into five to five. , Win-win and mutual benefit;

The United Kingdom has the sole judicial power in the self-built dock area, including Sudanese nationals, and must refer to British laws to restrict life in the jurisdiction;

In order to protect the safety and order of British businessmen, expatriates and terminal management companies, the United Kingdom has the right to station in each port no more than 74 warships or fleets, attached to a Marine Corps of no more than 240 men, and can recruit, arm and train local police, in principle. The ratio of the local police to the garrison in Shanghai is not more than 5 to 1;

In order to facilitate coordination, the five-port garrison should make unified calculations and coordinate dispatch, and the total number of garrisons should not exceed 370 fleets and 1,200 marines;

The Wugang Garrison has the obligation to protect the Sultanate from the enemy of the sea, and has the obligation to assist the Sultanate in rebuilding its navy and training modern naval officers;

The United Kingdom leases the entire island of Masira from the Sultanate, including all the properties and population of the island and the 300-mile coastline, at a rent of £12 per square mile per year for a lease term of 99 years;

During the lease period, Marsila Island is regarded as the land of the United Kingdom, and the United Kingdom enjoys all the natural rights of the mainland, and enjoys the priority of one-time lease renewal. The renewal period is 99 years. The renewal rent can be negotiated by the leaders of the two parties at the time;

The Sultanate’s Batinah region shall enjoy the same autonomy rights as the Riyaman region, including armed, diplomatic, financial and administrative independence. A Batinah Governor’s House shall be established. The candidate for the Governor shall be determined through consultation between Britain and Malaysia. Neither party has the right to single They deprived, replaced, and judged the Governor of Batinah, and had no right to adjust the current boundaries of Batinah in any form...

Etc., etc.

The above are just some of the more eye-catching details of the entire agreement. In the time when Lorraine and Carmen joined forces to hypnotize the three observers, Baker and Emmons have read it over and over again and again 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 evil existence of plundering sovereignty with power and proclaiming justice with guns.

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

But the semi-colonial choice itself meant that the country did not have the value of being completely conquered.

Most of them have the strength or potential above the standard, and the characteristics are clear enough to make every brainy British know that clinging to King's Landing will only outweigh the gains.

For this reason, 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, theoretically should not have the ability to independently defeat a sub-powerful country.

Until tonight, Baker felt for the first time.

Known as the most powerful navy in the Arab world, the Sultan Bagala Guard, was completely destroyed;

The coastal fort of the port of Matola is completely destroyed;

The Defense Guard regiment stationed at Mirani Castle, this Gancheng armed forces had obviously given up their duties and became a spectator or even an accomplice under the "a cup of black tea" in Lorraine.

In the blink of an eye, Muscat’s solid capital line of defense only left the second regiment of the National Guard alone at Jalali Castle and the Sudanese guard guarding the palace did not show up, but who knows what Lorraine has prepared for them?

Drake Chamber of Commerce... Lorraine is using his mighty power to press down his opponent’s proud head bit by bit. He is about to press his opponent to death on the negotiating table and use a contract to transform all his achievements and advantages so far into Sweet and delicious fruit of victory.

Baker didn't understand, it was obviously already this time, why did Lorraine come up with such an under-city alliance dominated by Britain rather than by the Drake Chamber of Commerce.

Fortunately, Lorraine gave him private hints in advance.

He waited patiently, until the three extremely excited observers finished making noise, and found Lorraine alone on the upper deck of the stern cabin surrounded by the distant flames.

"Mr. President..."

Lorraine turned around, smiled silently and nodded to Baker: "Across the sea, if I say I really didn't expect such a tragic scene to happen, do you believe it?"

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

"It seems that you also think this fire is against humanity..." Lorraine smiled bitterly, "Those who are wailing in the sea of ​​fire are not soldiers, not warriors, nor have the ability to cross the sea to threaten me. Burning them is not enough. Shake the Sudan’s determination to resist...In short, I have no reason not to show kindness to them."

"But I really haven't rehearsed this treacherous and cunning conspiracy."

"When I released the second prince, I never thought that I could push Muscat to this point. Even at that time, I knew nothing about Muscat. My purpose in releasing the second prince was to find among the Omanis. Betrayers, then I found and bought Mirani Castle through them."

"On the other hand, the prince who is loyal to the country did not accept my temptation, and took my perfunctory as real. The combination of the two is the purgatory in front of us."

Baker suddenly didn't know what to say.

He vaguely felt that Lorraine said it was true. Although the truth sounded more false than the false one, as Lorraine said, he had no reason not to show cheap kindness to civilians.

He tried to calm his mood: "Mr. President, the All-Knowing Lord knows the goodness of your heart..."

"First, there is no good in my heart, at least not for this country; second, my lord does not know everything, nor does he bother to care about these trivial matters." Lorraine waved his hand, "Mr. Manager has already seen the agreement we drafted. ?"

"Watched it five times." Since Lorraine didn't have the heart to continue talking about heavy topics, Baker naturally followed his kindness and immediately turned to the business, "very doubtful."

"What are you wondering?"

"Reason, or motivation." Baker was straightforward. "Great Britain can give you no more than a country that is neither poor nor weak. Why should you give up the current good situation and remove yourself from the position of the master? Willing to be a foil for Great Britain. Is it patriotic?"

Lorraine laughed loudly: "Patriotism is really a omnipotent word, and everything that should be explained is explained all at once."

"Then your reason is..."

"You guessed it right, my only reason is patriotism." Lorraine said in a mocking voice, "Portugal slandered me, so there is this war. The war is going on now, whether it's you or those few. Interesting observers seem to have forgotten the cause of the war, that is, the Sultanate of Muscat sheltered the Portuguese pirates."

"Those pirates are still in Ghahalil. My people have already sneaked in, knowing that Governor Fernandez of Mombasa has negotiated several times to ask for the Portuguese asylum by Ghahalil, but Ghaheril refused. Why? Because of the Sultanate. Everyone still remembers the cause of this war. Those Portuguese are the targets and belong only to the victors of this war."

"Because of this, this war actually has a weird ecology. Both parties in a normal war should have self-sustaining justice, but in this case, 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 tie me down and make me give up my determination to pursue profit. In the final analysis, it has only one disgusting effect. That is because of the existence of justice and evil, the Sultanate cannot change its course during the war and use these Portuguese to reach a reconciliation with me."

"This war must go through to the end until one side is defeated, and all the games are lost. It is the same for me and Sudan." At this point, Lorraine stomped depressedly: "It's a pity that you are not good at military affairs, maybe You should talk to Colonel Emmons."

Baker was stunned: "Why are you mentioning Colonel Emmons suddenly?"

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

"You should have heard me talking with those observers. I told them that I would shell Muscat for forty-five days. Why? Drake has always advocated the principle of benefit sharing, which is only second here~lightnovelpub.net ~The fundamental reason for arranging long shelling is just because I can’t do anything except shelling until I have enough reinforcements."

"The Sudanese Guard has 2,000 well-equipped men; Jalali Castle has 30 heavy artillery that can cover most of the city, and 1,500 well-trained fighters; Milani Castle has another 1,500 men. Drawing the ground as a prison, no one knows how long my buying can seduce them... and the only people I can transfer to land are the 880 people who have come ashore."

"I have exhausted my cards." Lorraine grinned, "If I want to be a victor of the war, I can only seduce you with greater benefits. After all, in this vast primitive continent, only you are qualified to let My dear motherland has done a limited amount of justice for me on the premise of not losing money."

"The conversation tonight should be over."

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