Chapter 1210 Imperialist oppression (third update, please subscribe)
"Mr President!"

Nie Kunlun stared at Jose Maria Placido Carmagnho, who was sitting on an upholstered armchair. The Ecuadorian president was sitting on the opposite chair across the table, staring at him with piercing eyes. this president.

"If you cannot effectively protect the safety of the Ming Dynasty nationals, then we will adopt our own methods."

Aggressive words came out of Nie Kunlun's mouth.

When he received the news that an expatriate had been killed, he was shocked and angry, but he did not deny the joy in his heart, not even a little bit.

Isn't this a great time!

This is a great opportunity to get involved in Ecuador. By taking advantage of the attack on the Mingzi mine and the killing of expatriates, it can directly force the other party to agree to the railway company's establishment of a security team. Of course, there are a series of other privileges.

What is imperialism? Isn't imperialism used to bully the weak?

Otherwise, what empire is needed?
Looking at the angry Ming ambassador in front of him, Carmagnio was a bit reserved at first, but then he felt more helpless in his heart - when he signed the "Minge International Railway", he was under pressure ——No way, who let Peru—the lessons learned from the collapse of the Federation of Bolivia lie there.

Not to sign?
Is it possible that you want to subjugate the country?

Damn robber!
They rob as long as they rob, if they insist on robbing Ming people, they rob, but they still kill Ming people.

Killing and getting more...

"Mr. Ambassador, it is bandits who kill and steal goods. Those bandits have always been lawless, and there are many Indian tribes who do not obey the law in the mountains of Ecuador. You know this. Neither of us is happy for this kind of thing to happen. You can rest assured that we will send troops to wipe out the bandits, and we will definitely compensate you..."

Faced with the pressure brought by the absolute crushing of national strengths, Carmagnio didn't know what else he could do other than show a flattering expression.

In fact, Carmaño is not an incompetent president. He also has the desire to strengthen the country. Of course, considering Ecuador's population of several 10, a strong country is impossible, but there must be some dignity.

What is independence and self-reliance? For a small country like Ecuador, it is simply impossible. However, as a white country, Camagano thinks he should be respected. It seems that Ming usually respects them, but the problem Yes, when it comes to issues of interest, there is no such thing as respect.

In this regard, Carmagnio is also very helpless!

"And as we all know, it's not as simple as it seems,"

Carmagnho began his explanation,

"Under normal circumstances, there will be no robbers to attack the Ming Dynasty and other foreign nationals, but if this happened, could there be some kind of conspiracy? For example, the indigenous tribes in the mountains, such as local forces. I guess there may even be some The influence of other countries, who knows? But there must be some countries that do not agree with the railway cooperation between us and you, Mr. Ambassador, they will definitely do everything possible to destroy the cooperative relationship between us, I think no matter what happens Nothing should affect our cooperation."

Carmagnio specifically reminded the ambassador that railway cooperation is the most important thing. Compared with railway cooperation, other things are not worth mentioning.

Faced with Carmagnio's reminder, Nie Kunlun shook his head and said.

"No, Mr. President, you are wrong. For the Ming Empire, there is nothing more important than the safety of the expatriates in the empire. If the safety of the expatriates cannot be guaranteed, the so-called cooperation is just a joke, and the past, present and In the future, it is impossible to sacrifice the interests of the imperial expatriates for the sake of so-called cooperation. Now, you have two options: compensate for the loss, and at the same time, we will sign a "Memorandum of Security Agreement" to jointly arrest the murderer."

"What? What is the "Memorandum of Safety Protocol""

Carmagnio looked at the ambassador puzzled.

"It's a memorandum of understanding that our two sides will carry out all-round security cooperation. In order to ensure the safety of the empire's nationals and investments, we believe that the empire should send security forces to your country to protect the safety of the railway!"

"What, this is impossible!"

Carmagnho retorted loudly almost immediately.

"This is impossible, sir. Please understand that Ecuador is a sovereign country. After we drive out the Spaniards, it is impossible..."

Looking at the excited Carmagnio, Nie Kunlun said seriously.

"If you refuse, that's another option!"

What is another option?
Suddenly Carmagnio stopped talking. He looked at the other party in astonishment, and said in a daze for a long time.

"Mr. Ambassador, is this what you call friendship and equality?"

What friendship and equality... This is the behavior of hooligans!
……

"Seeing how rogue the imperial diplomats are, I feel very relieved!"

After receiving the agreement signed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with Ecuador on the killing of overseas Chinese, Emperor Zhu said with great relief.

"Your Majesty, what I'm worried about is that this matter may cause Colombia and Venezuela to resist the "Pan-American Railway". They may worry that the empire will use the security of the expatriates to seek a series of powers such as the garrison..."

Qian Degong reminded in a timely manner that although he advocates justice for the overseas Chinese, as the prime minister of the empire, he needs to consider the overall situation.

"It does not matter!"

Emperor Zhu directly shook his head and said.

"Whether Colombia and Venezuela are worried or not, whether they resist or not, they will eventually make concessions. After all, countries use strength to talk to each other," he said.

Strength is the fundamental basis for the status and negotiation between countries. Without strength, everything is nonsense. With strength, everything is natural.

"As far as the empire is concerned, if we can't even protect the safety of our own people, what qualifications do we have to participate in world competition? What is the purpose of world competition? Is it just for the Ming Empire? The so-called "Empire" What is "interest"? The essence is people! Who are they? Of course, it is for the interests of the people of the empire, for the people of the Ming Empire. We participate in this world competition and civilization competition! If we look at the so-called overall situation, Sacrifice or ignore the interests of the people, so how can we let the people of the empire fight and sacrifice for it in the future world of great struggle? Is it just for the two empty words "empire"?

If it's just these two words, how can it impress them?What impresses them is not the "Empire", but because the Empire is with them, the interests of the Empire are the same as theirs, and their interests are even higher than the interests of the Empire!This is the fundamental reason why they are willing to fight and sacrifice for it.

So no matter what, we must protect their interests, this is our promise to them! "

After a pause, Emperor Zhu said directly.

"What is the promise we make to the citizens of the empire? Prosperity, safety, and abundance! These promises, we must fulfill them instead of expressing them in words. If someone dares to invade, then we must let them Pay the price!"
