Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Lin Yi's speech was very domineering, which made many people present look unhappy.

Especially the kings and presidents of powerful countries, their faces can be said to be like being put on a mask.

"Your Excellency, don't you think that what you said is too certain?" President Wilson on the side said with a livid face.

"Are you too sure? I don't think so." Lin Yi smiled and shook his head after hearing Wilson's words.

"Everyone here is no longer a child. Which one of you here has never forced Daxia?"

"Everyone is no longer a child. You should know one thing. After all, this world is about strength."

"Now that the Daxia language is absolutely powerful in Southeast Asia, it's natural to speak tougher."

"At the same time, I need to make it clear to you that Southeast Asia is not only the will of the empire, but also the expectations of the people in Southeast Asia."

"Therefore, there is no doubt about this. The empire is only here to inform the countries this time, not to discuss."

"At the same time, the empire is also prepared. If there is an enemy attack, the empire and the people of Southeast Asia will not hesitate to fight."

After hearing Lin Yi's speech, not to mention the people from the Allied Powers, their faces were ugly, even those from the Allied Powers were the same.

It can be said that Lin Yi's attitude is unprecedented.

Where are you here for peace talks? It's more like declaring war.

This made everyone present feel more arrogant in their evaluation of Lin Yi.

But if you think about it carefully, is Lin Yi arrogant? It doesn't seem like that.

Don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about the Victorian period when the John Empire was the most powerful. It seems that the John Empire was like this too.

Then, everyone turned to look at George V sitting in the middle.

George V felt the eyes of everyone and understood what everyone was thinking.

However, the current John Empire is no longer the John Empire in the Victorian period.

After experiencing a war, John's Empire would choose to fight Daxia again unless he didn't want to let it go.

Even so, George V was not sure of victory.

The current Daxia is no longer the Daxia that allowed them to bully them.

Now Daxia is qualified to say such things to them.

However, just because of Lin Yi's words, countries were asked to give up their interests in Southeast Asia, which was difficult for them to accept.

Looking at the silent kings and presidents below, the corners of Lin Yi's mouth rose again.

"Of course, I, Daxia, am not saying that I want to monopolize the resources of Southeast Asia. I also said that the empire is ready to open up the Southeast Asian market."

"Here, all customs duties and commercial taxes are one-third of those in the mainland of the Great Xia Empire. And there is no resource embargo."

"In other words, any material can be bought and sold in Southeast Asia."

"But some other things are still prohibited, such as YP."

"I would like to remind everyone again that once this kind of thing is discovered, it will be the death penalty, no matter which country it is from. So I hope all countries will pay attention." Lin Yi said slowly.

Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, the faces of the heads of state present finally looked better.

If it is true, as Lin Yi said, that after Daxia controls Southeast Asia, it does not set any thresholds and all kinds of goods can be sold and purchased, then it is actually not bad.

Especially for some small European countries, they still support Lin Yi's policy.

In the past, Southeast Asia, which was under the control of the great powers, could only allow the occupying power to plunder the resources there. If other countries wanted to purchase, they had to go to the occupying power to purchase them.

So the price shouldn’t be as high as you want it to be?

For example, after the Netherlands occupied the Kingdom of Sumatra, they monopolized the rubber of the Kingdom of Sumatra.

Every year, the rubber produced in the Kingdom of Sumatra is controlled by the Netherlands.

At that time, the largest rubber producer in the world was Sumatra.

In other words, the Netherlands monopolizes most of the world's rubber.

At this time, if you want to buy resources like rubber, you have to find the Dutch to buy it.

And the price is naturally higher. Anyway, the Dutch have no worries about not being able to sell their goods.

If you don’t buy it, there are many people who want to buy it.

Now, Daxia seems to be preparing to open up the Southeast Asian market, and all kinds of goods in Southeast Asia can be sold.

At this time, if you need rubber, you can go directly to Sumatra Island to find plantations and trade directly with local plantations.

In this way, buyers have more choices, can better select products, and buy what they want at more favorable prices.

Likewise, plantation farmers will be happy.

Because there are no Dutch people in the middle to lower prices and eat the price difference, those farmers can make more money.

Don't think that the Netherlands is just a second-rate criminal. How much do they earn?

Let's put it this way, for things like rubber, most of the money was pocketed by the Dutch.

If sellers want to sell rubber, they can only find the Dutch, so that they can lower the price arbitrarily.

Anyway, as long as I don't accept it, you won't be able to sell even a drop of rubber.

In the same way, if buyers don't buy his rubber, there will be no place to buy it.

The bargaining power of both parties is in the hands of the Dutch, so it's not just how much they want to sell, but how much?

But now, Southeast Asia in the hands of Daxia has directly given up its bargaining power.

Why can’t this please those countries that did not get a share of the Southeast Asian market?

The day passed quickly.

After Lin Yi issued Daxia's request, Poincaré, as the host, announced the end of today's negotiations.

Heads of state walked out of the conference room one after another.

There will be no need for these heads of state for tomorrow's meeting, and the remaining negotiations can be left to professional diplomats.

The heads of state only need to sign the final treaty.

In other words, the current negotiations have nothing to do with the heads of state and can move freely.

Lin Yi brought his princess to Europe this time, intending to take his children and wife to have a good time in Europe.

Although a war broke out in Europe not long ago, to be honest, this war was still not as destructive as World War II.

Although World War I was brutal, it was limited to the battlefield and a few cities near the scene.

For example, the Gallic Empire.

The battles of World War I basically took place in the northeast, east, and southeast of the Gallic Empire, and the city was destroyed.

But in the central and western regions of the Gallic Empire, there was almost no trace of war.

It's not like World War II. Once the war starts, the whole country will be blown up for you.

Therefore, Lin Yi planned to take his princess to visit the western region of Gaul.

If possible, Lin Yi would also like to take Lin Wanyu and the others to Spain, or to Provence in the southeastern part of the Gallic Empire. I heard that there are a lot of lavender there and the scenery is very beautiful.
