Expedition to Europe
Chapter 1057 Free Gift
Speaking of European "humanism", although this word was born very early, it has a literal meaning, and the process of its realization is really tortuous.
European history is a dark history, a colonial history, a blood-sucking history that nourishes itself by plundering the world, and a history of blood and tears of people all over the world.
If the crimes of European colonists are listed one by one, it is really innumerable. Whether it is written forward or backward, "slave trade" must be a heavy stroke.
The disgusting thing is that when the British found that the profit of opium trade was higher than that of slave trade, the British immediately began to crack down on "slave trade" in a sanctimonious manner, and then made "slave trade" a standard barbaric behavior like eating raw meat and drinking blood, completely ignoring the blood stains that had not been wiped clean from the corners of their mouths.
Nowadays, although there is not much money in the pocket, Britain is still the nominal world leader by virtue of the wealth accumulated by selling people and opium. The ideas dominated by the British are still universal values. The British Empire is still very deterrent in front of Portugal, so Teixeira Gomez dare not admit that there are slaves on Inhaca Island.
"Slaves? Impossible, such a thing will never happen in Portugal. This is a frame-up by some people. The Portuguese government will never tolerate it." Teixeira denied it flatly, and his serious expression was similar to Qin Zhiyuan's high-profile just now.
"Haha, it's useless for you to deny it. I don't believe it even if you say it's a lot of nonsense--" Qin Zhiyuan had a look on his face that said you know what I know, and he didn't beat around the bush. He pushed forward directly and forcefully: "The more than 30,000 people are currently on Inhaca Island, and there is also a testimony that can fully show that some people in your country are involved. If you say that we, Lan Fang, invaded Inhaca Island, that's great. We can go to the League of Nations to sue, and by the way, call the media to hold a press conference to see if the public will believe that the Portuguese government doesn't know about this--"
The significance of the League of Nations--
That's it. When it's useful, it's the League of Nations. When it's useless, it's worse than toilet paper in the toilet.
"Damn it, what do you want?" Teixeira finally lost his temper. If everything is made public as Qin Zhiyuan said, then whether Lan Fang will bear the name of "invasion" will be put aside first. The Portuguese government will first lose all credibility, and then Portugal's interests in Mozambique will also be questioned.
If someone takes the opportunity to hype it up, Portugal in Mozambique will become history.
And these are exactly what Teixeira is most worried about.
Teixeira would not doubt whether there is a testimony that can prove that someone in the Portuguese government was involved. It doesn't matter whether there is or not. What matters is the more than 30,000 slaves. That is ironclad evidence and cannot be denied.
Speaking of which, the Portuguese rule in Mozambique has always been unstable. Portugal, an outdated colonial country, has lost its former glory. The vast colonies of the past are now few and far between. Only a few private plots of land are left in Africa. Portugal's land area in Europe is only more than 90,000 square kilometers. There is no room for development and nothing to show. Therefore, exploiting colonies is one of the few ways for the Portuguese government to make profits. So you can imagine how vicious Portugal is in dealing with colonial issues.
After World War II, most European countries "voluntarily" gave up their colonies, but only Portugal would rather offend the whole world than give up its colonies, because the Portuguese knew very well that without colonies, Portugal would not be competitive at all.
But compared with the world situation, Portugal's strength is not even a "mantis arm". In the 21st century, Portugal has nothing worth paying attention to except that football occasionally makes the news.
In this world, Lan Fang football is invincible. In the Olympic football final held the day before yesterday, the Lan Fang football team did not give the British football team any face and sent the British back home with a score of 9 to 0.
The British can only say sourly in the newspaper: Chinese people started playing Cuju hundreds of years ago, and it is normal for them to play well -
Oh, you don't talk about modern football now?
The Portuguese are not good at football, and they are even worse than the vicious Portuguese, so Teixeira Gomez is really worried that Qin Zhiyuan will ask for too much.
How could Qin Zhiyuan disappoint people? As soon as Teixeira Gomez finished speaking, Qin Zhiyuan showed his true colors: "Transfer Portugal's rights to Lan Fang, and I won't hype this matter. Otherwise, the whole world will know what you did in Africa."
"Don't even think about it!" Teixeira jumped three feet high, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Qin Zhiyuan as if he wanted to eat him.
"That's what I think--" Qin Zhiyuan did not back down. He looked at Teixeira with a calm expression, but the words he said made Teixeira feel like he was falling into an ice cellar: "If this matter is widely spread, the Portuguese government will become the target of international criticism. It is really unimaginable that in the 20th century, there are still such despicable and shameless things happening in the world, and it is led by the government--"
"You are talking nonsense, you are talking nonsense, this is not led by the Portuguese government at all, the Portuguese government has no knowledge of it, this is a shameless frame-up by you Lan Fang, you are the most despicable and shameless party." Teixeira's emotions were out of control, pointing at Qin Zhiyuan and cursing.
Anyway, they have already torn their faces apart, why are they still so polite?
"——Then the Portuguese government will lose all credibility, and people will begin to question what Portugal's colonial rule in Africa will bring to the African people? Is it a happy and beautiful life and hope for the future, or the tragic reality of being sold as slaves——Then you will become the public enemy of the world, and Portugal will be deprived of all colonial rule. At that time, you will lose not only one, but also Goa, Angola, Guinea-Bissau, and——Macau." Qin Zhiyuan did not curse with Teixeira, and continued to describe the tragic fate that Portugal was about to face in a steady voice.
"Don't-don't say it-" Teixeira finally couldn't bear it, and fell on the sofa weakly, closed his eyes in pain, and sweated like a pulp, as if he could avoid the things Qin Zhiyuan described.
Angola, Guinea-Bissau, Sao Tome and Principe, plus, the above-mentioned regions together constitute Portugal's colonial empire in Africa. As for Goa and Macau, they are Portugal's only remaining colonies in Asia.
This colonial empire once had to include a large area of South America, including Brazil. Unfortunately, all of Portugal's colonies in South America have become independent, leaving Africa as Portugal's only remaining private territory.
Qin Zhiyuan asked for the entire Mozambique right away, which was unacceptable to Teixeira, but Teixeira had to admit that if Qin Zhiyuan's demands were not met, then the things Qin Zhiyuan said would indeed happen, and the subsequent development would not be much different from what Qin Zhiyuan said.
Compared with the entire colonial empire, Mozambique does not seem to be something that cannot be given up -
Is Portugal going to go to war with the whole world just for Mozambique? Teixeira does not have the "courage" of the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty, and even if he did, Teixeira would not be so reckless.
Teixeira knew very well that even if everyone in Portugal was a soldier, they could not win.
Let alone the whole world, if Lan Fang decided to occupy the whole now, what would the Portuguese use to resist the Lan Fang people?
The top of the head of the Portuguese?
Stop joking.

Qin Zhiyuan remained silent, silently watching Teixeira Gomez, who fell on the sofa and gasped.
To be honest, Qin Zhiyuan could feel the desolation, anger and sadness in Teixeira Gomez's heart, but Qin Zhiyuan could do nothing to help. The crimes committed by the Portuguese in Mozambique were far from being compensated by Portugal's voluntary abandonment of all rights in Mozambique. Since they had done evil, they should be prepared to bear the consequences. God may have taken a nap in the past few hundred years and did not pay attention to whether Africans were living happily. Then Qin Zhiyuan represented the Chinese God to punish these Portuguese who should have died long ago.
Now is just the beginning.
"This - this is not something I can decide, I need time -" Teixeira Gomez was silent for a long time before he said this sentence word by word with difficulty.
"Okay, but the slaves on Inhaka Island will not wait too long. There are more than 30,000 people. The Lanfang Navy has to bear the burden of eating and drinking every day. This burden is not light." Qin Zhiyuan pressed forward step by step, not leaving enough time for the Portuguese.
"Three days - no, one week, I will give you an answer in one week." Teixeira Gomez knew that he was now at the mercy of others.
"Just three days. If there is no answer within three days, I will hold a press conference here." Qin Zhiyuan was impatient.
For things like plunder, good things take time, things should not be delayed, and delays will lead to changes. There are many warnings in this regard, and Qin Zhiyuan will not make the same mistake as Mr. Dongguo.
"Okay, just three days." Teixeira Gomez did not insist on this issue, leaving the Portuguese with little choice.
After Teixeira Gomez left, Julie came down from upstairs with sleepy eyes: "What were you doing just now? The quarrel was so loud."
What a prodigal woman, she just woke up now and missed such a big show. Didn't you see that Misha was already enjoying herself on the second floor?
Qin Zhiyuan was also amazing. While Julie was sleeping, Qin Zhiyuan got 800,000 square kilometers of land.
Three days later, Teixeira Gomes signed an agreement on behalf of the Portuguese government and the Lanfang ambassador to France, whereby the Portuguese government would transfer all its rights in Mozambique to Lanfang for a fee of 10,000 Lanfang yuan.
10,000 yuan!
Why not just give it away for free?
