Chapter 646 What Do You Want?
The sea breeze blew, and the magnificent curtain and the small flags behind the warriors were blown and fluttered.But this still couldn't save Masahiro Abe's overloaded brain at this time, and his forehead was dripping with sweat.

Masahiro Abe actually made a lot of preparations for this meeting. In order to make up for the shortage of artillery, he specially ordered skilled craftsmen to make dozens of wooden cannons overnight, and then painted them with iron paint to strengthen the momentum.

There are also those majestic arrays, all of which are high-end products that the shoguns are usually reluctant to use.The warriors deployed behind and around were also the best group of people he could use at this time.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of this negotiation, Abe Masahiro also found the best translator in Japan who is good at Dutch.
However, the Austrian side directly sent a miko with a Kansai accent to negotiate, which made him a little confused.

"Damn Osaka businessmen! There is nothing they dare not sell. Sooner or later, this country will be ruined by them!" Masahiro Abe cursed in his heart.

He imagined a lot of possibilities for today's negotiation. It is very likely that the other party will use his strong position to put pressure on the shogunate to force a compromise. The negotiation agreement was thrown on the ground, and I added another sentence.

"But there is permission and disallowance."

Of course, it is also possible to be "polite" as the Dutch usually do, state their interests, and strive for the greatest interests within a certain framework.

Or a relatively equal agreement. Although it is relatively equal, it only exists on paper. After all, Japan does not have industrial capabilities at this time.

Or maybe the Austrians were intimidated by the strong military strength of the shogunate and took the initiative to make concessions, provide tribute to the shogunate, or even bribe him, a high-ranking official of the shogunate.
The person negotiating may be a red-haired ghost, a green-haired ghost, King Kong Renwang, or a gorilla. After all, according to the report of the officials who boarded the Austrian flagship:
"The people of Austria have different hairs, their elders are like forests, they often swallow clouds and mist, they are like tengus, yakshas, ​​kings of Ren, and masters of the sea, it is really strange.

The leader of the group is also extremely short, and looks like a monster, so he is really a slippery ghost.What's more, the shameless banshee is very naked. What we have seen and heard is comparable to the night walk of a hundred ghosts."

But what happened to this witch with a Kansai accent?Although he is a bit taller, he looks like a Japanese no matter what.
Masahiro Abe's thinking was in chaos, and he really didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of him.

At the same time, I felt as if I was humiliated, because the other party actually sent a woman to negotiate, and judging from the attire, she was the lowest-level "みこ (神子)".

But before Abe Masahiro opened his mouth, the retainers behind him had already drawn their swords.

After all, according to the statement that the master humiliated the minister to death, as a samurai of the Abe family, he could not bear this kind of humiliation.

And although that samurai was afraid of foreigners and foreigners, he was not afraid of any witches. He had never been afraid of such people in his life!

"Baga! How dare you be rude to the elders"

"boom!"

Kagura fired decisively. Before the samurai finished speaking, a bullet shattered his visor, and the bullet shattered his visor and pierced his skull.

The latter died very quickly, and everything happened so quickly that the people around him hadn't had time to react, or even Masahiro Abe had opened his mouth.

In fact, Franz also specially prepared a magic prop for Kagura, but the uncontrollability of the white phosphorus bomb and the high requirements on the environment may bring disaster to himself or others if he is not careful.

Of course, if it can be used, the effect is definitely the best. With the power of white phosphorus, it can completely burn through the armor, and then burn through the bones until it is reduced to ashes.
The deterrent effect is absolutely leveraged, but if the trick is exposed in the future, the rebound will also be leveraged.

Closer to home, Abe Masahiro did not issue orders under the horror and astonishment, and those sergeants who have not fought in war for more than 200 years and know how to bully others all day long have no discipline at all.

Some people retreated, some fell, some roared, and some even prepared to chop the "witch" in front of them with a knife.

"Bang! Bang!" There were two more gunshots and two unlucky guys fell down. Both of them were shot in the face, and there was basically no possibility of survival.

"Enough! Back off!" Abe Masahiro shouted, on the one hand because he was really angry at the stupidity of his subordinates, and on the other hand, a row of black guns had already been aimed at him.

So far, Masahiro Abe is still unclear about the other party's intentions, but judging from the behavior of the other party, the Austrian Empire doesn't care about him at all - the life and death of Masahiro Abe.

Although those warriors were startled and angry, they were not the ones who died, and the black muzzles of the guns made them unable to think about fighting again.

Seeing this scene, Kagura put away his revolver and sat opposite Masahiro Abe.

"I am representing Austria at this time, and drawing your sword against me is tantamount to declaring war on the empire. I hope you can control your subordinates and stop doing anything that may undermine the future peace between the two countries."

Kagura's tone was very gentle, and there was a deep smile on his face, but Masahiro Abe and the samurai behind him didn't feel any warmth at all, instead they all clenched their fists.

Those proud warriors almost spit fire from their eyes at this time, and they were ready to charge with broken jade as long as Masahiro Abe gave an order.

It's just that as the chief senior officer of the shogunate, Abe Masahiro will not waste his life in meaningless places, let alone allow himself to be impulsive, turning around and saying.

"Those who drew their knives just now should cut their belly. Without my order, no one should act rashly. Do you understand?!"

"Yes!" (Ha Yi).

"Are you satisfied? I am the chief senior officer of the shogunate—Masahiro Abe, the plenipotentiary No. 13 general who conquered barbarians, Mr. Tokugawa Iedada, came to negotiate with you."

"I serve Archduke Franz Joseph of the Habsburg family, and I am kindly representing the Austrian side in this negotiation. You can call me Kagura."

At this moment, the translator who was caught in the middle was very embarrassed, he cleared his throat and said.

"The representative of the Dutch Chamber of Commerce in Japan, Takenosuke Yamada."

Masahiro Abe waved his hand, motioning for Takenosuke to step down, because it seemed that there was no need for an interpreter at all.In fact, this so-called chamber of commerce representative is more appropriately called Kapitan.

"What are you asking for this time? You must know that our great Japanese kingdom has its own laws. How can your so-called free trade benefit us? It will end up messing up our laws, destroying our country, and harming our people."

Although Masahiro Abe wanted to say that, judging from the conflict just now, unless Amaterasu personally killed him with a solar orbital gun, the shogunate was unlikely to win the war.

Back to reality, Masahiro Abe asked: "What do you want this time?"

"Come here especially for the cornerstone of Japan's closed-door policy."

Hearing this, Masahiro Abe's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and he really came for the shogunate. I am afraid that this battle with the Austrian Empire is inevitable.

"What do you want?"

"Help you to achieve the karma of all ages."
