Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 119
Arriving at the nearest experimental site, Jia Long did not try it himself like Claudia did, but watched seriously outside as a spectator.

He was very puzzled when he saw the big men go up and tried their best to not pull the copper ball away.

Since he didn't see the process of the two hemispheres coming together with his own eyes, he even wondered if it was tampered with.

If that's the case, he doesn't understand what the purpose of that surnamed Tang to deceive everyone is, does he want to promote himself as a superior god?Thus making his rule more stable.

It's not impossible.

The more Jia Long thought about it, the more likely he felt that Tangning had already been labeled as an evil manipulator in his heart.

This kind of person is not easy to deal with, Jia Long couldn't help but worry about the purpose of this trip.

He was no longer in the mood to hang around anymore, and immediately went back home to discuss it carefully with his think tank.

Another day passed without any movement. Jia Long finally couldn't bear to ask when the negotiations would start, but Tang Ning dismissed them because he didn't have time.

Jia Long didn't know what Tangning wanted to do, did she not want peace talks at all?

If that's the case, just let them go, why let them stay here?

Although he was impatient, as long as Tang Ning had no chance of refusing to negotiate, Jia Long could only endure it for the time being.

Finally, three days before the end of the Chaozhou experiment period, Tangning "took time" to meet them.

After seeing Tangning, Jia Long thought he had met the wrong person, because the young man in front of him looked too young.

Such a young man, who was not born in a noble family, at the age of about 20, has completed a height that nobles like them may not reach in their lifetime, it is really incredible.

But after being confirmed by Tang Ning himself, Jia Long had no choice but to believe it, because he felt that the real Tang Ning didn't need to send a fake person to fool him.

Garon first corrected his attitude and apologized on behalf of the Dutch side for the incident in South Australia, hoping that the two sides can resolve the misunderstanding.

Tangning smiled and said, "I'm going to organize my new army sailor to visit Batavia. The time is not sure yet."

"If you go suddenly at that time, I hope you don't misunderstand, we must go with a friendly purpose."

After the translator translated Tangning's words, Jia Long looked slightly embarrassed, but quickly covered it up.

In his impression, people in the big eastern countries are very humble. If they take the initiative to apologize, the other party will generally show generosity, and then give them a step down. It is enough for everyone to know the real reason.

In this way, the next negotiations will not be so full of gunpowder.

Unexpectedly, Tang Ning not only didn't show any face at all, on the contrary, she was faintly threatening.

Jia Long's first impression was that this young man had a strong murderous aura and he was not easy to get along with.

The scene was awkward for a while, but after Tangning finished speaking, she stopped speaking and handed over the problem to the Dutchman.

After sorting out his thoughts, Jia Long became more straightforward and said, "Mr. Tang, what happened has already happened. We are very sorry, but the most important issue now is to resolve the conflict."

"The main enemy of the new army is not us, and our main enemy is not the new army. So we should not be enemies among ourselves, it will only make our respective enemies happy."

Tangning nodded and said, "I agree with Mr. Jia Long's words, so I am willing to resolve the conflict with you. But you are fully responsible for this war, so I need to see if your sincerity is enough."

Tangning didn't want to go round and round and show her cards directly, which was much more straightforward than the Dutch.

Tang Ning's straightforwardness made Jia Long and his party a little uncomfortable. This made some of the rhetoric they had prepared a long time ago completely useless.

"Mr. Tang, we, the Federal Republic of the Netherlands, are now the largest trading power in the world..."

As soon as the translator translated what Jia Long said, Tangning interrupted him. He said unceremoniously:

"Mr. Garon, I know that you, the Netherlands, are now the largest trading power in the world. Half of the world is owned by you. You can reach any place in the world, and you have colonies all over the world."

"I believe that cooperating with you can make huge profits, but that's another matter. I just want to see your sincerity now."

"If I can see your sincerity, the conflict between us can naturally be resolved, and it is not impossible for us to cooperate again."

"If the contradictions cannot be resolved, we will still be in a state of hostility and it will be impossible to cooperate."

"As for whether you Dutch will mobilize the power of the whole world to deal with our new army, we don't care, nor are we afraid."

"So, you just need to show your sincerity now, and talk about the rest later."

"If you don't think about it, wait until you think about it. I'm very busy recently, and time is precious."

Jia Long and his party had already prepared to spend a lot of time on this negotiation. Now it seems that there is no chance to say no matter how many words they have prepared.

The few people looked at each other, gestured with their eyes, and Jia Long said: "The new army borrowed 200 million taels of silver from us, you don't have to pay back, and the warships captured by the new army are also owned by the new army. The army will just release all the captives back.”

After Jialong finished speaking, Tangning deliberately waited for a while. Seeing that there was no follow-up words, she asked in amazement, "Is it just these conditions?"

Jia Long knew that this was a bad signal, so he quickly said: "We will increase the cooperation with the new army, so that the trade of the new army can expand to the entire Far East, and even America."

Tangning just sneered, "If this is your sincerity, then you can go back now."

Just kidding, what is the difference between these so-called conditions and no conditions?
Sneak attack on Lao Tzu, you don't need to pay back the money?The moment she won the fight, Tangning had no intention of paying it back.

That being the case, those warships and captives are all spoils of war. It is simply wishful thinking to exchange captives with 200 million taels of silver that will not be returned.

As for the so-called strengthening of trade cooperation, Tangning naturally knew that there were many interests in it, but he didn't want to confuse the two things.

Jia Long pondered for a while, and then said calmly: "I heard that our warship caused some casualties to the new army, and we are going to pay another 50 taels of silver as compensation."

Tangning ignored what Jia Long said, but said to himself, "A few days ago, the harvest of the pirate fleet led by the Caribbean Pirate King has been counted, not counting the merchant ships and prisoners, but the supplies alone. A harvest of more than 100 million taels."

"They are all good things. We have everything. Some of them are kept by ourselves, some are shipped to the interior province of Ming Dynasty to sell, and some are sold to the Portuguese."

"The Portuguese liked it very much and bought them all. They supported the fleet of One Piece in the Caribbean and said that they would want all the goods in the future."

"It seems that it is more profitable to continue to be a pirate."

As soon as Tangning's words came out, Jia Long and the others' expressions became tense, and they looked ugly.
