Chapter 699 A traitor?Move closer to the civilized world (please subscribe!)
Among the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, the Netherlands is the most powerful.

Governor Canfezis suddenly stood up and roared, "Ming people are doing this shameless act of war. This is a war against the United Provinces of the Netherlands... At the same time, this is also a war against the Eight-Nation Allied Forces!"

While shouting, he looked at Bentinck, commander of the Eight-Power Allied Forces, who was sitting in his office.

The bad idea of ​​a trade war came from this guy, who is still a Dutchman.

Under his instigation, Bentinck imprisoned his disobedient old rival, Governor Thomas of the British East India Company.

This guy is a friend of Emperor Ming. If he doesn't stand on the united front with the Eight-Power Allied Forces, he will definitely benefit the most after the trade war is over.

So Bentinck, the Dutchman, tried to fool Thomas as soon as he heard what Canfezis said.

Unexpectedly, why did Ming only sanction the Dutch East India Company?

Did they make a mistake in sanctioning them? Even if they want to sanction, they should also sanction the British East India Company together!
Bentinck is under a lot of pressure. He now represents two countries, and the balance is not good in the future. William III should make trouble for him.

Bentinck said calmly, "Mr. Governor, this so-called sanction is an extremely barbaric act and a provocation to the whole of Europa... The emperor of the Ming Dynasty attempted to force the entire Europa world to He bowed his knees and surrendered. This is absolutely impossible!"

"thank you very much!"

Canfezis said gratefully to Bentinck, "Mr. Ambassador, can I understand that the Eight-Power Allied Forces and the Dutch East India Company will fight against Ming, which is trying to block free trade?"

It’s too double standard. There was no free trade in the trade war before, but now it’s being sanctioned by Daming, and in turn it’s blaming Daming.

"Go to war?"

Bentinck said with a look of embarrassment, "Mr. Governor, of course we will go to war with Ming together! It's a matter of time. But it's not ready yet, we are not ready yet! I heard that the black magic weapons of the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia are not yet ready." Without mass production, our army has not yet fully mastered the warfare of the magical age, and we have not even completed complete control of the southern Tianzhu coastline."

It means that it is temporarily impossible to find a place for the Dutch East India Company, and we have to wait!

Governor Canfezis turned pale, "Ambassador Bentinck, don't forget that you are Dutch!"

This sentence made Bentinck very embarrassed. William III was also Dutch, and he might be punished when he went back.

But starting from the overall situation, now is really not the time to start a war.

Bentinck frowned and said, "Governor, don't be in a hurry, but we have to find a way to take back Ceylon Island. Ceylon Island is the gateway to South Tianzhu. Ming Kingdom's acquisition of Ceylon Island is equivalent to getting the key to South Tianzhu." , can attack our Madras at any time, and we can take appropriate measures to retaliate!"

That's true, otherwise, if Ming Dynasty blocked the first island chain for them, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces would be in a dilemma.

Canfezis looked at Bentinck gratefully, and then asked Ernst next to him, "How many troops does Ming have on Ceylon?"

"They came with 20 large sailing battleships and more than [-] small boats."

"There were about 1 infantrymen who landed, and most of them were Japanese."

"The Dongying people are not afraid of death, we have to be more careful." Kanfezis said cautiously.

Before the Dutch East Indies came to Asia, the people who had the most contact with them were the Dongying people.

"Your Excellency Governor, in addition to this, there are also merchants from the Ming Dynasty living in Ceylon Island. They have some armed forces, probably around 1000 people."

"Your Excellency the Ambassador, Your Excellency the Governor, in terms of the number of armies, our Eight-Nation Allied Forces have an absolute advantage. The only thing to be wary of is the navy of the Ming Dynasty. If the navy of the Ming Dynasty cannot be defeated, then the recovery of Ceylon Island will become empty talk!"

The fleet of the Eight-Power Allied Forces in South Tianzhu only has two second-tier sailing battleships, and their second-tier battleships are not the same concept as Ming's second-tier.

One is a second-class warship of the seventeenth century, and the other is a second-class warship of the eighteenth century. The two are not the same.

Then the others are Tier [-] and Tier [-] battleships, about fifty of them.

If there is no Ming Dynasty, this is an existence that can sweep across Asia.

"The trade war can't stop, we want to ban all industrial products and daily necessities produced by Ming country!"

Bentinck said while looking at Sir Thomas who was under house arrest on the other side.

"I agree, I agree, don't look at me!"

Thomas admits to being cowardly. Anyway, the Emperor Ming has already told him that he will continue to do business with the British East India Company afterwards, and rescue him when the time is right. He will be here as an insider.

Thomas thought to himself: Is he a traitor?

Immediately afterwards he shook his head: What are the traitors? I just want Britain to move closer to the civilized world. Those who followed the Mongolian Kingdom of the Qing Dynasty are the traitors!

The Mongols have invaded Europe before, and they are the villains!

Bentinck nodded, and said: "The prohibition of daily necessities and industrial products of the Ming Empire is beneficial to us, and it is beneficial to the development of Europa's handicraft industry."

Bentinck's concept of trade war is constantly improving. He realizes that the complete blockade of Ming's products will hit Europa even harder!

"For luxury goods, such as spices, spices, silk and porcelain, we cannot completely embargo them, because Europa has not found a substitute for the time being, but we can implement strict import quotas, for example, we can reduce the amount of silk and porcelain imported by 50.00 per year %, in order to deal a heavy blow to the porcelain and silk industries of the Ming Empire, and to reduce dependence on luxury goods from the Ming Dynasty!"

Bentinck reprimanded Fang Qiu, feeling that everything was under control!

At this time, Kanfezis of the Dutch East India Company had an idea: "The Ming Dynasty did not say that the British East India Company was embargoed. Can our Dutch East India Company fly the flag of England?"

"No!"

"no!"

Bentinck and Thomas rarely came to an agreement.

"Damn Dutch profiteers, I will never allow you to hang the British flag!"

Thomas stared angrily. If Zhu Kezang found out about this, it would be terrible.

He rolled up his sleeves, if Canfezis dared to say this again, he would punish him.

"FYOU! The Dutchman William III is also your king, why can't you hang up?"

Canfezis speaks nonsense.

Thomas was furious. These words just spoke of his pain point. If the king hadn't been changed, his title would have been able to rise even further!

Bentinck hurriedly stopped the two who were about to fight.

Bentinck also shook his head, "Governors, stop fighting! I don't think this is a good idea, we should unite! We must let Ming know that we, Europa, are united when we face the east!"

"The Dutch ship flying the British flag is also solidarity!" Canfezis said dissatisfied.

"Mr. Canfezis, you have to take into account the overall situation. If you let Ming know about it, it will be difficult to be sanctioned together. Our Eight-Nation Alliance must unite!"

Canfezis reluctantly let go of this tempting idea. He asked, "Mr. Bentinck, how can we show the unity of Europa to the Ming Dynasty and take back Ceylon?"

"It's simple."
