Chapter 2696: The emperor's conspiracy

"That's right! There is no such thing as a waste of money in the world. People under the eaves have to bow their heads! That's the best and most generous cooperation condition we can win from the major powers in the world today!" Franklin The husband smiled bitterly with emotion.
"Old Dean, in addition to this trade and navigation treaty, what other conditions did His Majesty Roland offer?" Qiao An asked.
"The second condition...hehe, the Far East government has taken a fancy to Midgard's most valuable industry and requires a controlling stake in the magic crystal mining area of ​​the Primordial Abyss!"
Old Franklin sneered.
"When I talked with Sir Quintiliang, the biggest difference was in the magic crystal mine."
"The old fox is greedy and cunning. He is determined to swallow this piece of fat, and he insists that he will get all the equity in the Primordial Abyss Demon Crystal Mine!"
"I repeatedly explained to him that this is impossible, because the Canaanite government has also put forward similar conditions. We have no reason to hand over the mining area to the Far Easterners. That would be tantamount to completely offending the Canaanites!"
"What's more, we can't get all the equity in the mining area, otherwise I and the representatives of the Continental Congress will be labeled as'traitors'!"
"The old fox Kun Tiliang rolled his eyes and said that it was our problem, and it had nothing to do with him. Anyway, he is greedy for the demon crystal mining area. He has to get it. Listen, is this human?!"
"When Sir Quintiliang went to investigate the abyss mining area, I served as his escort. I am afraid he has been thinking about this industry since then." Qiao An recalled with a wry smile.
"I knew there was today, Joan, you should kick that old thief into the Primordial Abyss!"
The old man Franklin took a sip of coffee to calm his anger, and then said to Joan:
"Fortunately, Your Majesty Roland is more reasonable than his foreign minister. After listening to my explanation, he generously made concessions and only asked for a 51% stake in the abyss mining area to ensure that the Far East government has the absolute control of the mining area."
"This morning, I corresponded with Mrs. Josephine in Bethlehem to inquire about her progress. The Crown Prince of Canaan initially requested 50% of the mining area. After several rounds of negotiations, it was reduced to 30%. It is impossible to give in. "
"In this way, less than 20% of the equity in the Mojing mining area will belong to my country. Can the representatives of the Continental Congress accept this condition?"
Qiao An asked worriedly.
Old Franklin smiled weirdly.
"They will accept it, otherwise what else?"
"Midgard fell half a year ago, and the mining area has fallen into the hands of real Fiji. Coupled with the unsuccessful warfare, the representatives of the Continental Congress are generally pessimistic that this industry may not have a chance to be recovered, which is like a bad check. It’s not bad to sell it at a good price now."
"Joan, do you think this is weird? The Far Easterners and Canaanites value the rights and interests of the abyss mines more than ourselves. It can be seen that these foreigners are more optimistic about the prospects of the'War of Independence' than ourselves. I believe We can finally repel the Feizhen invaders!"
Old Franklin smiled wryly and stroked his beard.
"If our compatriots have such confidence and awareness, victory will not be so far away!"
Qiao An nodded, thinking for a moment before speaking.
"Old Dean, if I remember correctly, the Primordial Abyss is the world’s largest proven reserves of magic crystal ore. The second-most reserves of the'Twilight Valley' are in the Kolas Empire and the Canaan Kingdom. The border line of China has been jointly divided by the two countries."
"If the Far East and Canaan obtain the mining rights of the Primordial Abyss mining area, it means that more than 50% of the magic crystal resources in the Valais world are under the joint control of the two governments, which is equivalent to a monopoly of the magic crystal supply market?"
"Yes, the governments of the Far East and Canaan made this idea!"
The old man Franklin looked grave.
"As we all know, the magic crystal is known as the'blood of the modern magic crystal industry.' Without the energy of the magic crystal, ships and trains cannot move. The boiler in the factory can only be changed to burn coal, and the efficiency is far inferior to that of the magic crystal. Steam engine, anyway, I can’t imagine, what big business could be more profitable than monopolizing the energy industry!"
"The situation is compelling. We are now holding the golden bowl and hungry. Besides selling the golden bowl for food, what else can we do?"
The old man Franklin flicked two pipes, venting his resentment.
After a while, the old gentleman's emotions calmed down and said to Qiao An, "In addition to the above two, His Majesty Roland also made a more weird request."
"What's the requirement?" Qiao An asked curiously.
"He insisted that the liberation movement of the indigenous people of the Asa tribe of the New World should be included in the framework of assisting the Continental Army. If the Continental Congress does not accept the independence of the indigenous peoples to establish a country, he will refuse to recognize the independence of the colonies."
"On the other hand, His Majesty Roland also set up a prerequisite to support the indigenous people and promised to persuade the indigenous Asa tribes headed by the Walsung family in Shizhu Town to support the Continental Army against the Feizhen invaders."
"This proposal is not bad, it is good for us colonists and the aborigines!"
Qiao Ann straightened his waist and was very pleased.
As a descendant of a colonist, he has always felt that he and his compatriots cannot stand against the natives of the New World. His Majesty Roland proposed to protect the rights of the aborigines to survive, regardless of their motives, at least morally beyond reproach.
"Huh! The delegates of the Continental Congress are not necessarily happy about this. After all, many delegates support the colonial expansion of the west. As for the aborigines, in their eyes, they are just a group of ‘beasts walking upright’."
Old Franklin spit out a string of smoke rings, his brows furrowed.
"Compared to the first two conditions, the last one seems irrelevant, but I always feel that things are not that simple. His Majesty the Emperor of the Far East generously funded the indigenous people of the New World and also trained thousands of Asadian students for free. Blood, Joan, what exactly did your Majesty Roland do for doing this?"
"I can't guess the thoughts of His Majesty the Emperor, but I appreciate his actions. If I had the power and courage of His Majesty Roland, I would do the same."
Joan answered frankly.
"Boy, don't sit on your ass! Think about your compatriots. We have outstanding young people in our colony. Isn't it worthy of a full-awarded study abroad quota?"
The old man Franklin was indignant.
"His Majesty Roland shows great concern for the natives of the New World, but he is indifferent to the Continental Congress, which represents the colonists. This is too partial! Of course I sympathize with the natives, but what benefits can they bring to the Far Easterners by helping the natives across the oceans? Your Majesty Roland is such a shrewd person, would he never lose money?"
