Chapter 422
Tevez stared at these treaties with a sad face, and his hand holding the treaties trembled uncontrollably.

The accompanying important officials of the Dutch and Indian authorities were also like eggplants beaten by frost, listlessly.There is no such thing as the arrogant demeanor of the past.

One thing is certain is that due to the poor performance of the Holland War, many important officials of the Dutch and Indian authorities present here will lose their posts in the near future, including Carlos Tevez.

"The treaty is too harsh, please give us a little time to think about it."

The proud governor of the Netherlands lowered his posture and said to Liang Yao in a pleading tone.

"If your army's performance on the battlefield is good enough, the contract will definitely not be so harsh." Liang Yao stood up from his seat, looking a little impatient.

"I only give you three days to think about it."

Three days, this is the deadline Liang Yao gave Tevez.

Just as Liang Yao walked out the door, Sven walked up to him and said, "Your Excellency, an old friend is visiting."

"Old friend?" Liang Yao was a little confused.

I am afraid that these gifts were not given to him by Tromelan personally, but by Napoleon III.Because Tromeland is a relatively stingy person.

"I think we can make some concessions so that Tevez can sign the contract earlier."

"He will sign it." Liang Yao said with certainty.

Tromeland traveled thousands of miles to Borneo to find him, and most likely it was because of the Crimean War.It was the only thing that deserved a French general's special trip to him.

Fremont has a special affection for California, and he doesn't want to be a mediocre governor.

Therefore, compared with the United Kingdom, France is more eager to cut off the bear claws of Tsarist Russia extending to the Black Sea region and the Balkans, and win this war.

Hearing this, Liang Yao touched his forehead and said, "Ah? So it's him, what is he doing here?"

Only the closer the Californian people are to him, the smoother his future administration will be.

Tromeland is the commander of the French Navy's Pacific Fleet, and Liang Yao's first warship, the Roland, was bought from Tromeland.

These three warships have played their due value, and Liang Yao did not take advantage of them.

The second ship of Chaoyong Yangwei was also bought by Tromeland from a French shipyard.

"No." Sven shook his head and said.

"He only said that he wanted to see you, but he didn't mention anything specific. I heard that General Tromelan went to San Francisco before. It is very important to know that you are not in San Francisco and made a special trip to Borneo. matter."

To put it bluntly, the British Empire, which has a big business, can afford to lose, and France, to be precise, Napoleon III can't afford to lose.

It seems that Tromeland's initiative to visit this time is indeed asking him for something.

Liang Yao's impression of this French naval general was neither good nor bad.

But Fremont still hopes to return to California, give a speech in front of the California people, and narrow the distance between himself and the California people.

Although Tromelan earned a difference of more than 3 U.S. dollars from him, at least he took money to do things.Liang Yao finally succeeded in purchasing an advanced steam warship from the French.

"It's General Tromeland of the French Navy." Sven said with a smile.

Compared with the humidity and heat of the tropics, Fremont is more adapted to the cold weather.

For an explorer, Fremont was physically tough.

Only in this way can France break through the shackles of the Vienna Conference, sweep away the domestic dull atmosphere after the fall of the French First Empire, and boost national self-confidence and France's status in the international community.

The people of France do not love a republic or a monarchy, they love power.

What Napoleon III ultimately faced was not only the question of whether he could keep the crown of the Second French Empire on his head, but the question of whether he could keep his own head.

The French came just in time.

Of course, Napoleon III needed the victory of this war to stabilize his throne and demonstrate his legitimacy.

"Your Excellency, long time no see."

Different from the first meeting, Tromelan prepared a valuable gift for Liang Yao this time.

"Meet this old friend."

It was not because of his weakness that Fremont disliked the humidity and heat of the tropics.

He really couldn't think of anyone who would come to visit him at this moment, the island of Borneo.

As long as France is strong enough, whether it chooses a republic or a monarchy, turns left or right, their people are willing to accept and support it.

Although California has reached a consensus on Fremont serving as the second governor, the election is just a formality.

As soon as he saw Liang Yao, Tromelan warmly held Liang Yao's hand and greeted him as if he had seen a long-lost brother.

Although both Britain and France have directly intervened in the Crimean War.

The French dignitaries and people can push Napoleon III to the throne of emperor, and naturally they can pull him down.The French were not at all lenient when it came to changing emperors.

Fremont was shorter than Liang Yao, and his legs were not as long as Liang Yao's. In order to keep up with Liang Yao's pace, he had to speed up his pace.

But the importance of this battle to both sides is not the same.

The promises that the French side also fulfilled helped him train qualified crews.

"It's not too short of three days." Fremont muttered and expressed his concerns, "What if Tevez still doesn't sign after three days? Continue to argue with them?"

The most important thing is that California is about to hold a general election for the governor, and Fremont is also eager to return to California to participate in the election as soon as possible.

"They have no choice, and I will not make any concessions." Liang Yao's attitude was as firm as ever, and he also saw Fremont's thoughts, "If you want to return to California sooner, I can help you Get a fast boat ready."

While tidying up his collar, Liang Yao was thinking about how to use France to put pressure on the Dutch and Indian authorities to get Tevez to sign the contract as soon as possible, and to contain the British in Sarawak.

Of course, when the ship was purchased, Tromeland also made a lot of difference from Liang Yao as a middleman.

If the British lost, they would only lose part of their interests in the Near East. If France lost, the old revolutionary base would have a glorious tradition of sending the emperor to the guillotine.

As far as the two naval battles in the Java Sea were concerned, the three warships purchased from the French were a relatively successful military purchase.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Liang Yao invited Tromeland to have a cup of tea.

After drinking tea, Tromeland blows rainbow farts again, shocked that Liang Yao became a general at such a young age, and at the same time praised Liang Yao's performance in this military conflict in the East Indies.

Liang Yao dealt with Tromelan very perfunctorily. He had already heard these words until his ears were covered with calluses.

Finally, Tromelan expressed that he would visit Liang Yao's barracks.
