Become a feudal king from today
Chapter 638: Exploitation
"Nice to meet you, General Watanabe. My name is Elson, and I am currently serving as the Special Envoy to the Eastern Territory of Sam Country."
Sam, a man in a black tuxedo, took off his hat, saluted the Watanabe case, and began to introduce himself.
Raising his head, he looked up and down at the supreme ruler of Japan, feeling proud.
It was at his insistence that the Sam Kingdom fleet, composed of four sail warships, decided to use cannons to blast open the gate of Japan and force Japan to establish trade relations with Sam Kingdom.
This is the task assigned to him by Sullivan, the current president of Sam Country.
Since Samadhi gained independence from the British through the War of Independence.
After half a century of development, Sam's local industry has prospered.
In order to find new markets for Sam's industrial products, General Sullivan chose to support the eastward expansion strategy and join the colonial trend in the West.
It's just that the colonies in the New World were carved up by the old European countries.
They can only go all the way east, to the uncolonized area of Eastland.
After successively occupying many islands in the eastern ocean.
They established supply points on these islands, and soon their merchant ships first arrived in Japan.
However, their contact with Japan ultimately failed.
So, they continued eastward and came into contact with the Liang family of Dasong.
This Dasongguo family, which specializes in Dasong sea trade, started trade with them.
However, they did not give up on the Japanese market.
Gradually losing patience, they decided to resolve it by force this time.
The effect was immediate, and the Japanese shogunate immediately decided to discuss trade with him.
"This method should have been used to deal with these indigenous people a long time ago." A voice sounded in Elson's heart.
"It turns out to be Mr. Elson." Watanabe extended his hand to signal Elson to sit down opposite him, and asked the Japanese maid to pour Elson a cup of tea.
Due to decades of contact with the British, Watanabe learned a lot of British language from the translator when he was young.
Able to understand what Elson said.
After a pause, he said: "I'm sorry to meet in this way, but after careful consideration, I think we should no longer refuse trade with Sam Country."
Elson smiled. He just thought that Watanabe was scared by them and decided to accept the trade.
I say this just to save face.
So he did not criticize it, but said: "This is really a wise decision. In this case, please ask the general to sign this treaty."
As he spoke, he took out a document from the bag he carried with him.
Watanabe flipped through the documents and frowned slightly.
Basically, the Sam country wants all the preferential treatment that Japan gives to the British in trade.
Japan must also open up the two ports of Xiatian and Guanyong, specifically for trade with the Sam Kingdom.
But considering that there is a precedent, there seems to be no reason to reject Sam Country.
The most important thing now is to make profits between Britain and Sam.
So he said: "I can agree, but you must be like the British and help us build eighteen sailing warships in Japan."
Elson was startled for a moment, then nodded, "I need to return to the battleship to discuss this matter with Major Mali."
Watanabe said: "It just so happens that I also need to discuss this treaty with Japanese officials."
Elson stood up, "I'll be back soon."
The Watanabe case sent Aielson out of the shogunate, and he was first led to visit the battleships under construction.
Immediately, officials were summoned to discuss the treaty.
But this is just a formality. In Japan, his rights are as supreme as the Emperor Dasong.
An hour later, Elson returned.
"Major Mali agreed to this." Aielson took out the trade treaty again and said, "Please sign."
After getting the result he wanted, Watanabe signed the treaty without any hesitation.
Now, he wants to make Japan strong at all costs.
…
Laoting Pier.
On the occasion of the signing of the treaty between Watanabe and Sam Country.
Zhou Yi returned from Jinghai, and immediately following Zhao Xu's order, he summoned 8,000 marines.
Commanding six warships, sixteen troop transport ships and eighteen supply ships, they headed toward Yizhou in a mighty manner.
After leaving the Yanzhou sea area, we passed through the Qizhou sea area.
Looking at the transport ship behind the battleship, Zhou Yi frowned.
If they had supply points along the coast, why would they bring so many supply ships?
Therefore, if the supply problem on the route cannot be solved, Yanzhou's actions in the southern seas will be restricted.
After all, there is more to it than hunger.
Staying aboard a battleship for long periods of time can drive the crew crazy.
The crew must be allowed to go ashore at intervals to relax.
This is also a very important question
"Now that the matter in Yizhou has passed, we must report this issue to King Yan." Zhou Yi thought to himself.
Then, he summoned the Marine Corps generals to discuss the matter of Marka City.
Ten days passed.
The fleet arrived at Yizhounan smoothly.
Six sailing battleships appeared near the port of Marka City, and the news immediately reached Steven's ears.
Steven was lying on the chair that had once been Feiwen's office, his feet on the table.
He almost fell off his chair when he heard the report from the Franco soldiers.
"What did you say? Six King Yan's sail warships." Steven couldn't believe his ears and grabbed the soldier's collar and asked.
"Yes, Commander." The poor soldier could barely breathe.
After confirming the news, Steven frowned tightly.
The King of Yan warship that came to negotiate with Fei Wen had just left when six more warships arrived.
He could not determine the purpose of these warships.
So he arrived at the port with his translator to understand their purpose.
Although this time two sail warships docked at the port of Marka City.
But the number of opponent's warships is three times more than theirs.
Even if the Franco robots' skills in manipulating battleships must be more mature than those of King Yan's soldiers, they may not be able to win.
Arriving at the port, he immediately asked the translator to take a small boat close to King Yan's warship.
Less than half an hour later, the translator returned, looking pale.
After getting ashore, he said to Steven:
"Commander, they ask you to surrender and release Governor Feiwen, otherwise they will attack Malka City."
When Steven heard this, he was immediately furious, "These humble Eastern natives dare to threaten me. Now let the noble white people tell them what war is."
After speaking, he looked towards the sea, counted the number of troop transport ships, and roughly estimated the number of soldiers on the other side.
Troop transport ships like King Yan are similar to Japanese troop transport ships. In his opinion, each ship can transport up to five hundred soldiers.
The city of Marka has eight thousand French soldiers.
He believed that he could defeat this Yan army.
However, in order to avoid the battleship being sunk, he ordered the battleship to escape from the port, rendezvous with the other two battleships, and then return to the port to wait for an opportunity to fight.
He will defeat King Yan's army head-on at the foot of Marka City.
