Comprehensive comic Kanji: Build a dimensional empire from scratch - Chapter 038
The shogunate and the public were shocked.
The shock this fleet brought to them was only much greater than the black ship incident fifty years ago.
Even more outrageous in some ways.
The leader of the Black Ship Fleet, after all, has the identity of the Commander of the White Eagle East India Company Fleet. Everyone knows that he comes from the country on the other side of the Pacific.
The proposed agreement is not too extreme. It requires nothing more than opening treaty ports, allowing the stationing of consuls, granting most-favored-nation treatment, etc.
This fleet from another world does not belong to any country on earth at all. Their technology is completely black technology.
If Lu Chen hadn’t also had one head and two legs, the shogunate would have doubted whether he was an alien.
The proposed agreement is also more stringent
“Recognize the alliance’s status as a sovereign state, and all production, economic, and trade activities are uniformly deployed by the alliance……”
“A certain proportion of resources needs to be handed over as annual tribute every year. On this basis, the alliance will not interfere too much in the internal affairs of the tributary country.……”
After the shogun finished reading the content.
The ministers of the DPRK and China looked at each other in confusion.
Cruel, too cruel.
This is telling you to kneel down and be a dog.
They didn’t even bother to open treaty ports or cede ports, and directly asked the whole country to pay tribute.
It’s obvious that we can do trade, but he insists on snatching it away, which makes me cry to death.
Signing the treaty means that this place will become a resource producing area under the alliance and lose any autonomy in development.
“If we surrender without a fight and sign this treaty, we will be criticized by the whole country.”
A person from the military department said
“Out of the integrity of soldiers, we should also carry out some resistance”
“Then which of you will go?”
The shogun felt a little palpitated when he thought of the aircraft carrier that was bigger than the city.
“army?”
“The fleet is now docked at the port. Is it possible to launch a surprise attack on him and seize the ship?”
“Let the Navy Red Deer go! This is none of our business!”
The army general said he doesn’t care about my business.
“Tokyo Bay is the defense zone of the Army Red Deer! You go!!”
Navy Red Deer angrily accused the Army of being cowardly
“Army Red Deer!”
“Navy Red Deer!!!”
“……”
Both sides frantically greeted the genealogy on the opposite side.
Just kidding, the tonnage of the two ships is larger than the entire combined fleet, and the weapons and carrier-based aircraft on them are unheard of and unseen.
Driving a torpedo boat to start a gang-hopping war against an aircraft carrier is too outrageous.
The decision might have been made twenty years later, but the military in the Taisho era did not have such avant-garde ideas.
The atmosphere is not peaceful
“……”
“If strong tactics are not an option, we might try to win over the fleet commander.”
The Shogun thought for a moment.
“Find a way to talk to him again. Maybe there will be an opportunity to discuss the content of the treaty.”
……
Early the next morning.
Lu Chen yawned and walked out of the bedroom on the Richelieu ship.
On the shore not far away, there was a roar of gongs and drums.
A military band in full dress was playing music below.
A man who looked like an official and two teams of followers were waiting respectfully at the port.
“Commander, diplomats of the shogunate request an audience”
“Talk about something important.”
The communication from Beifa came
“Oh?”
Lu Chen cheered up a little and received a group of people in the living room.
“General, this is a little tribute from the shogunate.”
The diplomat clapped his hands, and the entourage next to him carried up several boxes.
They were filled with gold, silver and jewelry.
It can be seen that the shogunate has accumulated some savings over the years.
“Um.”
Lu Chen didn’t say yes or no, he nodded.
“In addition, the general has come all the way, and the shogunate is deeply sorry for not being able to take care of you.”
“If you don’t mind, why don’t we take you on a tour of the city tonight and host a banquet for you?”
“Ichiban Street is quite popular among both locals and foreigners. I wonder if the General is interested?”
The diplomats sent by the shogunate were courteous and thoughtful, with the humility unique to the island nation.
“What is a street?”
Richelieu, Beifa, Kewei and others were all a little strange.
“Kabukicho.”
A few words popped out of Dafeng’s mouth.
She looked at the visitor with evil intentions, poked Lu Chen, and asked in a low voice:
“Commander, you don’t want to go to that kind of place, do you? It would be nice to have a big phoenix……”
“I am not interested.”
Lu Chen refused bluntly.
He was not Cao Gong. When he arrived in a city, he would first ask,”Are there any skilled women in the city?””
“I have no interest in your diplomatic ceremonies, dignitaries, customs, specialties, etc. You just need to answer whether you accept or reject.”
“Don’t think too much, don’t do unnecessary things, it’s meaningless”
“Please go back and let the shogunate consider it carefully.”
“！！！”
The diplomat was stunned, and all the words he had prepared were instantly blocked in his mouth.
From the beginning to the end, the other party was very resolute and had no intention of negotiating at all.
After swallowing a few times, he asked hoarsely:
“Why… choose us?”
“Island countries are not rich in resources. Even as a tributary country, what they can provide each year is very limited. If you want an overseas market, other countries should be more suitable.……”
“You are close, so you are the first.”
Lu Chen stood up and signaled to see off the guests.
“No other country on this earth can escape. Whether they are the empire on which the sun never sets or the indigenous people on the African savanna, they will all become tributary countries of the alliance in the future.”
“Mining when it’s time, farming when it’s time, fishing when it’s time to fish, you will all have a bright future in the future.”
