Chapter 266: Martial arts

Cairo
After British and French mediation, the negotiations finally achieved phased results, and Jonas agreed to make limited concessions. It's just that this concession is just what he thinks, the Egyptians can't feel it.
"Mr. Hamhamd, we can choose not to hold you accountable, but you must pay enough compensation, otherwise I cannot explain to the people.
You must pay one million SHIELD for cargo loss, two million SHIELD's pension, and two million SHIELD for mental damage. This is the bottom line of the new Holy Roman Empire. "Jonas Russo
5 million Aegis is equivalent to 2.5 million pounds, equivalent to 18.3 tons of gold. This number has exceeded the Egyptian government's fiscal revenue, and it is no wonder that it can be accepted.
McHamd retorted angrily: "Impossible, you are extorting!
What loss of goods is worth one million Aegis? This caravan is to transport some pots and cans, which is not worth a lot of money at all, and all the goods will not exceed 5,000 Aegis.
You have only died of three people in total, and you will need two million SHIELD's pension. This is just a joke, at most 500 SHIELD.
The loss of the Ali Kui tribe is tens of times yours. Should their country also pay their pensions? We are not demanding, just offset it.
Mental loss fees are even more nonsense. It is clearly us who have suffered the loss, and even if it is a claim, the Egyptian government should claim it from your country! "
Jonas explained in a serious way: "Mr. Hamhamd, you are ignorant.
The caravan's altar pots are precious antique relics, each of which is invaluable. One million Aegis is the wholesale price. If scattered retail sells three or five million Aegis, there is no problem.
The three unfortunate dead were the best talents in the new Holy Roman Empire. If they do not have an accident, they may all become great nobles in the future, so their families ask your government to pay compensation according to the value of the nobles.
Taking into account the mood of the victims, we believe that this reasonable request should be supported.
The wrongdoing of government officials in your country has deeply hurt the hearts of more than 50 million people in the new Holy Roman Empire, and the spiritual loss of two million Aegis, is n’t it? "
Jonas's explanation made the representatives of Britain and France shine, and it seems that they are ready to learn excellent experience.
What are you afraid of? When did the major powers speak overseas in this era?
Mahmoud was speechless for a while, so nonsense, how can we talk?
Opponents can play rogue, but they can only reason. There must also be good reasons to obtain the support of the British and French in order to be able to balance the Austrians.
The French representative, De Leseb, persuaded, "Mr. Jonas, the demands of your country are too high and have far exceeded the capacity of the Egyptian government."
Lions are too open to talk. Anyway, they are negotiating. How can they cut prices without talking about it? But once it comes up, it is said to be the bottom line. How can this be discussed?
Jonas said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. If you don't have the money, you can use the tariffs, minerals, right of way, or land to pay off the debt.
We didn't come for money, we just had to have a fair result. What exactly the Egyptian government pays for compensation can be negotiated. "
Seen poorly, Jonas is a businessman, and the diplomat is only part-time. When it comes to doing business in Egypt, the French have the best mix and are engaged in the most industries; the British secondly have the right to build roads and are expanding their power.
Austrian merchants are more embarrassed, many industries are not accessible, and Austrian goods are exported to Egypt and subject to heavy taxes.
Regardless of whether others can tolerate it, Jonas, who has a painful skin, is intolerable. The privileges of British and French merchants, he also wanted to get them.
Of course, this must be based on the completion of the Vienna government order.
Mahmoud growled: "It's impossible, the Egyptian government will never accept your blackmail. If you love to walk, if you want to stay and eat the sand, just stay!"
What a joke, for a small oasis of no value, you have to pay so much. Do you really think the Egyptian government is bullying?
After listening to Mchammed's words, Jonas was ecstatic, but still said with no expression: "Sinai Peninsula is not worth five million Aegis.
Your country must cut tariffs, abolish restrictions on Austrian goods entering Egypt, and give equal treatment to Austrian businessmen in Egypt! "
I did n’t know about the fooled Mchamd, and thought that Jonas had made concessions, and after a moment of contemplation, he replied:
Mr. Jonas, your request is too much. Freely determining tariffs is our sovereign right , Absolutely cannot give up. "
Worried that McHamd, Britain and France are also paying attention to Egyptian tariffs, and they are afraid to make any side on this issue.
Jonas frowned and said, "It's too late now, let's calm down first. We will discuss the issue of tariffs tomorrow. Will other terms be adopted?"
After so long negotiating, it was the first time that Jonas had taken the initiative to adjourn the meeting. Despite some doubts, Mehmed did not object.
Leaving the conference room, Jonas immediately instructed the recorder sent by the Vienna government: "Will, sort out the content of today's meeting and pass it back to the domestic Egyptian government to agree to cede the Sinai peninsula."
Will's man frowned and said, "Mr. Jonas, the Egyptian government has not agreed to cede the Sinai Peninsula, aren't you doing this to deceive the country?"
Jonas sneered: "How can it be considered deception? Pass the meeting back, and according to our best understanding, isn't that stupid McHamard ceding the Sinai Peninsula to us?
Don't be silly Will, international politics is so dark. We just have to choose what is in our favor and ignore the terms that are against us.
Negotiating with these indigenous countries, ambiguous agreements, or memoranda, is the best way to get benefits.
Don't look at the French who seem to be supporting the Egyptian government. When we proposed tariff reductions, De Leseb was also tempted.
In the interest, everyone is not a philanthropist. Without sufficient benefits, they will not be on their own for the Egyptian government.
Now let us people on the Sinai pledge their sovereignty. At the end, the Egyptian government will either choose war or continue to slap on the negotiating table.
This summary of the meeting is just a hands-on excuse to make our food look as good as possible, which is essentially aggression! "
Will nodded thoughtfully, without causing the fact that the Egyptian government said it would not sell anything! The economic value of the Sinai Peninsula is low, but this is not a reason to sell the country?
Even though the Egyptian government was influenced by Western culture in this era, their enthusiasm for the land was not as high as later generations. The Egyptian government is also afraid of making concessions, triggering a chain reaction and being divided up by European countries.
...
On June 26, 1855, the Austrian settlers raised the flag of the new Holy Roman Empire on the Sinai peninsula, and sworn sovereignty over the Sinai peninsula.
After a strong protest from the Egyptian government, Jonas completed a diplomatic blackmail directly under the pretext of meeting minutes. In the end, under the mediation of Britain and France, the Vienna government agreed to pay fifty million shields as a ransom for the Sinai Peninsula.
Under the strong demands of Britain and France, the Vienna government made concessions and promised not to continue to seek expansion in the Egyptian region and immediately stop colonizing activities in the region.
On July 21, 1855, Jonas signed the Land Trade Treaty on the Sinai on behalf of the New Holy Roman Empire and the Egyptian government. The next day, the three countries, Britain, France, and Austria signed the Cairo Treaty.
The Sinai Peninsula was won, the tentacles of the Suez Canal were established, and the Vienna government was satisfied.
Just paying a worthless Sinai Peninsula, Austria was successfully excluded from Egypt, and Britain and France were satisfied.
The only tragedy was the Egyptian government, which lost a piece of territory on the Sinai Peninsula in vain. The nominal redemption of the land of five aegis was just a round in their hands, and it was transferred to the colonial squad as compensation for the Arish incident.
This is also a bounty given by the Vienna government to the colonial squad as compensation for their risk of eating sand for half a year. As leaders of the colonial squad, Leohaval and Andrea also won the title of knights of honor.
In general, things have come to a successful conclusion.
