Chapter 307 Hammer!
Chapter 307: The hammer!
"Gentlemen, I, a senior employee of the Dutch East India Company, the chief of staff of the Governor General, Van Persie, on behalf of the Governor General, come to negotiate with you." After Van Persie got on the ship, she glanced at the people on the deck, including Easterners and Westerners, all of whom looked at themselves with a cat-tasting mouse.
Van Persie is quite familiar with this look. I don’t know how many times he used this kind of gaze to look at the natives or Chinese. But now, he can only endure it. For Van Persie, who lived in his sixties, worked diligently for the Dutch East India Company for most of his life, and had seen countless conspiracies and massacres, this is nothing at all. What’s important is that his wife, son, daughter, son-in-law, grandson, and more than twenty relatives of a large family are in Jakarta. He doesn’t want to be resigned from them forever today, so he must come.
"Van Persie." Liang Pengfei couldn't help but grin. Although he wanted to ask this silver-haired and silver-bearded person, the old guy who seemed to have a mature and masculine look at what he thinks about football, but if you think about it, just forget it, after all, no matter how old an old man can't play a shot.
"Yes, dear Lord General." Hearing one of the young and tall Chinese young men repeating his name, Van Persie's eyes fell on Liang Pengfei. With this glance, the cunning Van Persie could be sure that the young man in front of him should be the leader of these pirates, which was the so-called diplomatic envoy Rodman, Liang Pengfei, the third general general of Lan Fangguo, mentioned by Liang Pengfei.
Liang Pengfei did make Old Van Persie's speech slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the old guy's divine eyes were really vicious. "Hehe, Mr. Van Persie, why didn't you agree to allow you to give another reply tomorrow? Why are you here now? Could it be that your Governor is willing to agree to my request?"
Old Van Persie took care of the collar on his chest and showed a sincere smile: "Your Excellency the Grand General, your request is too excessive. However, as the plenipotent representative of the Dutch colony, I came with sincerity. I hope you will have enough sincerity as well."
"Oh. Hehe..." Liang Pengfei smiled, pointed to Jakarta, which was like a bonfire party holding a gala in the city, and smiled at Van Persie, "While we are discussing sincerity, I would like to ask Mr. Van Persie, what happened in Jakarta, this really made me curious. If you hadn't come in time, maybe I would have gone to Jakarta in person, whether you were holding a gala or there was a riot in the city."
"Actually, I think you should know this better than me, Your Excellency General." Old Van Persie gritted his teeth, but his face did not reveal his inner emotions at all. "Some small changes have indeed happened in Jakarta, but I believe that the nearly 10,000 brave Dutch soldiers in Jakarta will be able to quell this small riot and will be quelled soon."
"Tsk tsk tsk... Look at what you said, is it related to me that what happened in Jakarta? I don't like to listen to this. You know, we pirates have always been very kind and never do anything to steal." Liang Pengfei's serious expression made the soldiers around him laugh and laughed.
"This is so classic." Zhang Xingba simply hugged a mast and stomped his feet hard.
Sun Shijie and Ni Ming were speechless, but Bai Shusheng looked at it for granted: "Young Master didn't say anything. What we pirates do is to do with white knifes. The work done by red knifes has always been straightforward, but it is much better than some so-called civilized people who seem to be hypocritical on the surface, but they do privately more dirty than anyone else."
"Okay! You guy said something humanly." Monk Chen slapped Bai Shusheng on the shoulder and raised his thumbs up at him.
"I, what you mean is that I don't speak humanly!" Bai Shusheng was so angry that he smoked his seven orifices, but he only saw the back of his head thrown by Monk Chen.
Van Persie stared at Liang Pengfei and suddenly said, "I don't know if I will talk to you on behalf of our Governor General or to the British East India Company."
Van Persie's sudden words made Liang Pengfei stunned. Of course, he immediately answered with a serious look on his face. "What is the British East India Company? It has no relationship with us. I hope you can trust my sincerity."
"Of course, Your Excellency Lan Fang's General Secretary." Van Persie said sincerely.
"I want to believe you and I'm just a stick." Van Persie had a different idea in her mind.
"If you don't believe me, you're a stick." Liang Pengfei looked at the old Dutch man and laughed happily. Two guys with different ulterior motives quickly made their own plans in their stomachs.
After Liang Pengfei smiled, his expression became silent, which made Van Persie a little nervous and looked at the Lan Fang State General System nervously.
"In fact, this general system represents not only the Lanfang Province, but also the Huaxia Federation."
"...China Federation." Van Persie blinked his old eyes, and for a moment he was really confused.
"That's right, it's the Chinese Federation, and I am the first head of the federal government." Liang Pengfei stretched out his tail finger and scratched his scalp. "I thought about the name of this country before I sent troops to Jakarta."
"...Your Excellency, please don't make such boring jokes at this time." Van Persie felt that the attitude of the former Chinese pirate leader towards diplomatic negotiations was like teasing a woman, which made him very angry. Although he suppressed his anger with rest, it did not prevent him from giving a kind warning to it.
Liang Pengfei looked at the tall and strong old man with silver hair and said lightly: "You are wrong. Dear Mr. Van Persie, three days ago, I, Liang Pengfei, had already taken office as the first head of the Chinese Federation. Now, I am leading the fleet of the Chinese Federation to seek justice for my fellow countrymen in the Lanfang Province of China. "
Liang Pengfei's words did not cause any fluctuations among his subordinates. Anyway, the news had been known a few days ago, and almost everyone took it for granted. In the eyes of pirates like Bai Shusheng, his young master had tens of thousands of strong soldiers and landed thousands of miles. He was considered a bird for being a king. What's more, President Shilaozi.
But in the hearts of Sun Shijie and others, they were also filled with joy. They took great pains to call Liang Pengfei, because their goal was not only to follow Liang Pengfei to become king in Nanyang, but also to overthrow the corrupt, damn Qing ruling class.
But now, Liang Pengfei has not raised the flag of rebellion in the Qing Dynasty. Besides, with the Borneo, the central Luzon archipelago and the Annan that is already in his hands, Liang Pengfei would not have a loud title or a governance program, but it would seem too ridiculous. On the way to lead the army to Jakarta, Sun Shijie and Ni Ming unanimously asked Liang Pengfei to make a decision.
Liang Pengfei also realized that his current power had far exceeded the scope of pirates, so after a long time of consideration, Liang Pengfei proposed the founding of the country. However, after thinking about it, he still felt that the republican system of Lan Fangguo and the federal system of the Americans were very suitable for him at present.
As for the others, Liang Pengfei patted his butt and threw all the headaches to Sun Shijie and the leaders of the former Lanfang Company, and asked them to formulate a constitution of the Chinese Federation first.
Liang Pengfei confirmed the two most basic points, that is, the army can only belong to the Federation. No province shall have any independent military force except the police and the number of armed police. Another point is that any province in the Federation will be an inseparable part of the Chinese Federation, and any act of separatism will be regarded as treason.
As for the rights of the head of state, the army now listens to him, Master Liang, and the so-called head of state is not much worse than those dictators in later generations. Anyway, the system of a constitution will take many years at least, and I still have time.
As for why he called the head of state instead of the president, think about the military uniforms and helmets of the soldiers under Master Liang, and you will know that this guy was a German fan in his previous life. Since he was unwilling to explain, his evil tastes about Master Liang were naturally ignored by his subordinates. Anyway, it would be fine to call him anyway, as long as you continue to be the head.
"Okay, Master, should we re-plan the conditions you have put forward?" Van Persie felt that he was going crazy, was the young Chinese pirate in front of him a lunatic or a lunatic?
"There is no need to talk about this. I just want to know whether you are willing to agree to all the conditions." Liang Pengfei lit a thick cigar and slapped it into his mouth, and his fingers gently tapped the cannon placed on the deck, making a crisp sound.
"I'm not very patient, especially for you Dutch people, do you know the reason?" Liang Pengfei's breath made the fragrant smoke linger in front of Van Persie's eyes, but in Van Persie's eyes, this was simply the bad dragon breath with sulfur and fireworks that the evil dragon in hell was spewing.
Van Persie was silent because, since the other party said such words, it showed that he must be aware of the irreconcilable contradiction between the Dutch and the Chinese. Do you still need to find reasons to explain it idiotically?
"Very good, now, tell me, do you agree or not. If you say no, then..." Liang Pengfei raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Soon, the third-level battleship with as many as thirty guns on the side opened all its gun windows, and one gun could see their hideous black gun barrels from those gun windows.
"Please don't do this first. Dear Master, please give us some time to consider." Van Persie's sweat was flowing more and more. At this moment, the so-called diplomat's demeanor had all gone to hell. At this moment, he was like a pitiful farmer who was waiting to go to the city to sell vegetables and earn two salt money, but was stopped by the violent officials.
"It's so strange. Just now, you asked me to talk about it now, why did you change your mind in a blink of an eye? Mr. Van Persie, do you think that I, Mr. Liang, can someone tease you at will?" Liang Pengfei's eyes, which were exposed to cold light, narrowed dangerously.
