Chapter 230: 230 Treaty Collection
Chapter 230 230 Treaties Collection
What does it mean to feel aggrieved? Fitral feels that he is very, very aggrieved now! He was really scared now, scared to see Harry's young face.
To be honest, he is much more handsome than Harry. After all, when Tang Mo chooses his manager, he looks for talent, not looks.
But every time Fitral saw Harry, he would be deeply stung by the confidence on his face. God gave him an appearance that surpassed Harry's, but gave Harry an IQ that surpassed his...
As a person who is several decades old, it feels really bad to be suppressed by an opponent who is younger than himself.
He felt that he had been insulted, or that the intelligence of all the top officials in the Yangmu Kingdom had been insulted... How could anyone mail their negotiation bottom line to the opponent and then forward it to the negotiator?
The result is that the Yangmu Kingdom not only did this, but also acted confidently and naturally. He was now holding this message and bargaining with Harry, who already knew everything.
"You can't be so shameless! How can we negotiate if you don't give in even an inch after knowing our bottom line?" Fitral shouted to Harry sadly and angrily.
He could no longer suppress his emotions, because after the other party knew his bottom line, he really refused to give in, and even tried to push his limits.
As a military port, Osa has a very good port situation, but its location is obviously not as good as Nanshui, a civilian port. Therefore, as an economic port, it is actually not as valuable as Nanshui, nor does it have as good development prospects as Nanshui.
However, because Osa Port is to the north of the South Water, it is closer to the orc territory, so it is not completely useless.
First of all, if we can establish a relationship with the orcs, Osa Port can be used as an outpost to contact the orcs, and its strategic value is definitely not comparable to that of Nanshui.
And if Tang Mo helps the orc crown prince get back his Kingdom of Gales, then Port Osa may not be alone overseas.
So Datang Group is not entangled in the issue of whether to own Osa Port. The dispute between the two parties is how much Osa Port is worth.
Fitlar insisted that the land was priceless and that the cession of Ossa should be compensated with at least 12 million gold coins.
Harry believes that Ossa, as a military port, has very low economic value, and development requires follow-up investment, so it is not worth that much money at all, with a maximum of 3 million gold coins.
The two sides are at loggerheads on this issue, and each feels that the other is making things difficult for them. But it was obvious that the Yangmu Kingdom, which had been waiting for another five days, was the more anxious party.
They have already seen the special envoy of the Songmu Kingdom in Bunas. If the Songmu Kingdom and the Tang Group are allowed to reach an agreement first, the problem will be serious.
Therefore, Fitral planned to take a step back and reduce the total price of Osa Port from 12 million gold coins to 10 million gold coins.
This withdrawal was equivalent to 2 million gold coins. He had never thought that one day he would be so generous... He decided on the ownership of 2 million gold coins while talking and laughing. It could really be regarded as a scolding of Fang Qiu.
Then, as if he had been teased, Harry actually gave up 2 million gold coins and directly quoted Osa 4 million gold coins.
It seems that everyone has a basic understanding - if you ask me to give it, the middle price of 7 million gold coins seems fair.
After all, there is an envoy from the Pinewood Kingdom over there who is eyeing him, and his bottom line is also clearly known by the other party.
So Fitral was finally too lazy to struggle and resigned himself to lying down. The final result was that the Yangmu Kingdom fully accepted the requirements of Datang Group.
Permanent sovereignty of Osa Port is priced at 7 million gold coins, including 70,000 elven residents including the local population, and 150,000 orc slaves that must be supplemented later.
The gold, copper, and iron mines, fields, mountains, and roads near Ossa are all owned by Datang Group. The specific border has been drawn on the map by both sides and cannot be changed.
These mines cost 4 million gold coins and are also owned by Tang Mo. Of the remaining 3 million gold coins, 2.5 million will be compensated with firewood, grain, livestock, slaves, silver, furs, cloth and other materials.
Finally, Yangmu Kingdom will directly repay 500,000 gold coins to Datang Group, and this debt will be paid off in two years.
As for the Tang Group's armored warships bombarding Nanshui Osa, sinking dozens of Yangmu Kingdom's warships, cutting off transportation lines, and sinking hundreds of transport ships, the losses will be written off in one stroke, and both parties are not allowed to do so. Use this incident as an excuse to take any action.
Similarly, Fitral also secured some benefits for the Yangmu Kingdom. For example, the Yangmu Kingdom could directly pay 300,000 gold coins to purchase 5 sets of telegraph equipment. Although the purchase price is a little more expensive than other countries, it can be provided in stock.
In fact, what they don’t know is that because the telegraph machine uses relatively few materials and the construction period is short, Datang Group provides everyone with almost all off-the-shelf products.
Then, including lighting, electricity and other equipment, Yangmu Kingdom retains the right of priority for procurement. They received written permission from Datang Group to continue producing and selling K1 needle guns.
On the premise of ensuring not to invade the Songmu Kingdom, Datang Group also promised to sell arms worth 300,000 gold coins to the Yangmu Kingdom. These arms include the provision of an ironclad battleship within three years, 40 C64 field breech-mounted guns, 200 T-type cars, and 10 Maxim heavy machine guns.
What’s more interesting is that this purchase payment allows Yangmu Kingdom to borrow money from Datang Group on a credit basis, with a repayment period of 5 years.
If repayment is overdue, Yangmu Kingdom will repay 30 million gold coins, and Datang Group reserves all rights to call for arrears.
That day. Fitral signed the "Yangmu-Datang Repayment Treaty" with the Datang Group in Bunas, and also signed the "Yangmu Kingdom Arms Procurement Memorandum".
In the afternoon, the special envoy of the Pinewood Kingdom signed the "Yangsong Friendship and Non-Aggression Treaty" with Fitral, the special envoy of the Poplar Kingdom in Bunas.
Before finishing the meal, the Kingdom of Wright, the Kingdom of Susus, and the Kingdom of Dorne signed the "Five-Country Maritime Tariff Exemption Friendly Trade Agreement" with the Poplar Kingdom and the Pinewood Kingdom.
Datang Group has officially extended its influence to the northern continent. And it has obtained tax-free privileges for all its products in the poplar kingdom and pine kingdom.
As for any war action from outside that attempts to disrupt the maritime trade routes of the five countries, the five countries must jointly dispatch warships to protect the safety of the routes and declare war on the hostile forces.
Of course... because the Kingdom of Susas has no sea power, they are just making up for this treaty...
At the banquet, all parties also exchanged opinions on the construction of railways and other facilities. The Yangmu Kingdom hopes to build a railway from Nanshui to the Royal City, while other countries also hope to expand their own railway projects.
Now, many countries are building their own railways, and they are all designed and built in accordance with Tangmo’s track width construction standards.
These railways are connecting cities one by one, but currently they are very short and can be ignored on the map.
The real railway project that has been completed so far is the railway from Bunas to Ice Crystal City via Wolf City. Moreover, this railway is not yet connected to other railways. It can only be connected after the railway between King Leyte and Bunas is completed.
Of course, because Tang Mo is vigorously building his own naval warships, the progress of this railway is very slow, not even as fast as the railway section from Wolf City to Ice Crystal City built by Tang Mo.
The dinner was of course a feast for the guests and the host, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Next, just after the dinner, the special envoy of the Pinewood Kingdom couldn't wait to sign the "Pinewood Kingdom Arms Purchase Agreement" with Datang Group.
The content is very simple. The Pinewood Kingdom purchased 1,000 T-type cars, 20 Maxim heavy machine guns, 9,000 needle guns, 50 C64 field guns, 10 C80 heavy field guns, and hired instructors from Datang Group in the form of cash. The commander's staff is 30 people.
At the same time, they also hope to purchase two ironclad warships from the Datang Group. Before the two warships are delivered, the maritime power of the Datang Group will ensure the security of the Songmu Kingdom’s ports and transportation lines.
At the same time, since the ban was lifted, Datang Group will provide 30 sets of telegraph equipment to Sussus, 50 sets of telegraph equipment to Wright, and 25 sets of telegraph equipment to Doane.
Because of the special relationship, Datang Group will also provide 5 sets of mobile telegraph machines with pedal power to the troops in Beiling to equip the five infantry regiments in Beiling.
Datang Group's current maritime transportation group is unprecedentedly large, because everyone, including countries such as Dorne, uses a large number of ships to pay off debts.
At present, Datang Group has a fleet of 240 ships, most of which are old sailing ships and transport ships, with only a very small number of warships.
These warships are used for training. They are responsible for helping Datang Group train naval commanders. At most, they only perform the safest **** missions.
The merchant transport ship is responsible for transportation between Long Island and Bunas, as well as commercial exchanges in other places.
Now, Datang Group's transport fleet has to fill the maritime trade route between the Wright Kingdom and the Yangmu Kingdom. Because Tang Mo sank too many transport ships of the Yangmu Kingdom.
What’s more interesting is that the Osa military port ceded to Tang Mo by the Yangmu Kingdom actually has shipbuilding capabilities. Although it cannot catch up with Nanshui, it is a shipbuilding base for the Yangmu Kingdom Navy.
The people responsible for building here are level 1 sailing battleships, but the Datang Group no longer looks down on such sailing battleships.
So, after the treaty was signed, the Datang Group planned to send people to take over Ossa, and then immediately have it rebuild merchant ships to make up for the lost shipping capacity.
In short, the Augustin family’s 14 million gold coin debt issue was finally resolved at this moment. And Tang Mo also got his first gold mine.
