The draft proposed by China was drafted by Shang Yi when he left Brunei, and it was roughly divided into three parts: First, this war was initiated by the Netherlands, so the Netherlands should pay full responsibility. The Dutch parliament needs to formally apologize to China, and Compensation for all losses in China, with a total of 6 million taels of silver; 2. The Netherlands recognizes China's rights in the South China Sea, from Titore in the east (i.e., northwest of New Guinea Island) and west (northwest of Sumadara Island) , to the Java Islands, and evenly follow China's sphere of influence. The Dutch East India Company shall not own colonies in this area. However, trade and establishment of commercial stores must be approved by China and respect China's relevant regulations. ;3. All colonies established by the Dutch East India Company in Batavia and Sri Lanka were handed over to China. The Dutch East India Company can set up corporate bases in these two places, but no longer have administrative and garrisons in these two places. , tax power, and obey China's management of these two places.
These three parts were also planned before the Chinese army went to war. The goal that this war needs to be achieved is to establish China's absolute rights in the South China Sea, control the Strait of Malacca, and further strengthen China's in India The sphere of influence of the country is to stabilize its backyard, laying a solid foundation for China to expand to the ocean next time.
Generally, in negotiations, the later the trump card of the party is, the better, because you can adjust your own plan according to the other party's conditions in order to obtain the greatest benefit. Of course, in a more formal negotiation, both parties will first be in their own hands. They all came up with a draft and exchanged it with each other, not only to show fairness, but also to facilitate the progress of negotiations. Of course, this draft is definitely not the final plan, and they will leave a lot of room for it.
However, like Li Huamei, who doesn’t care about the other party’s draft, just throws out his own draft. Of course, there are very few in negotiations, but the current situation is different, because the negotiation skills and strategies are good, They are all backed by strength. Now the Chinese army has an absolute advantage, so there is no need to bend around the bush and lead sideways, and you can go straight and go straight.
After Matt Sokol and others took turns reading the draft draft drafted by China, they couldn't speak for a long time because China's conditions greatly exceeded the bottom line of the Dutch East India Company. It was nothing to ask the Netherlands to apologize, but it was just a face. The problem of solitary law, and China's demand for rights in the Nanyang region was also expected, but what they did not expect was that China not only did not let Batavia go, but also extended its clutches to Sri Lanka. It seemed that it was It's too underestimated China's appetite.
Of course, this is not ruled out as a negotiation skill of China. It is common for the so-called asking for a price everywhere, paying back the money by sitting on the ground, deliberately putting forward harsh conditions during the negotiations, leaving room for concessions, so Matt Sokog also calmed down and calmed down. , said: "General Li, the conditions you put forward are really too harsh. We cannot accept such conditions no matter what. Therefore, we hope that you can make some concessions so that you can continue to talk."
According to the normal process of negotiations, Li Huamei should ask about the conditions of the Netherlands, or ask about which condition the whole body thinks is harsh, and then both sides will start bargaining, but Li Huamei did not ask at all, just said lightly: "If You hope that this negotiation will be successful, so all these conditions must be agreed and we will not make any concessions."
This immediately made Matt Sokol choked and couldn't speak, and Orvemas in the Dutch negotiating team couldn't help but say: "Since it's a negotiation, then there should be a negotiation and a full picture. Is it true that we cannot have objections or discussions about the reason for your proposal? There is such a reason for negotiation.”
Li Huamei smiled and said, "Of course it is OK to have objections, and it may also be discussed, but we will not make any concessions."
In fact, this is equivalent to not saying the same thing, so the Dutch negotiators were a little annoyed. Another negotiator, Witzger, couldn't help but say: "If you cannot accept your conditions, we will not make concessions, then what to do."
Li Huamei shrugged and said, "Then don't waste time. Now we can announce the breakdown of the negotiations. You can return to Batavia and prepare for the battle."
Winter slammed the table in anger and said, "It's hard to fight, but I'm afraid you won't be able to do it..." But before he finished speaking, he was immediately stopped by Witzger and Orvemas. After all, everyone knows it. Now the Netherlands has no capital to go to war with the Chinese army. In fact, Winter also knew that he was too angry just now and lost his composure for a while. When someone persuaded him, he immediately stopped imitating.
Matt Sokol hurriedly smoothed out and said, "General Li, don't mind, he made a momentary mistake. War is a result that neither of us wants to see, so we should still use negotiations to resolve the dispute between the two sides, right?"
Li Huamei smiled and said, "Although I am a soldier, I don't want to solve problems in a war. If I can solve them in a peaceful way, of course it would be the best."
Matt Sokol then breathed a sigh of relief, calmed his mind, and said: "We are willing to apologize to China for the actions of this war, and are willing to bear the consequences of the war and make necessary compensation, but six million taels." The price of silver is too high. Our company's operating conditions have not been good in recent years. It is difficult to pay so much money. I hope you can reduce it a little."
Li Huamei shook her head and said, "This war has cost China a lot of manpower and material resources, and it has lost huge amounts of money. Therefore, six million taels of silver cannot be lost. If you can't afford this amount of money at one time Here, you can use installment payments or find a bank in China to pay, and of course the interest must be calculated."
Matt Sokol smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, let's put the issue of compensation amount first and discuss the next issue. We recognize China's rights over the Nanyang region, but Batavia is our Dutch East India Company After operating for more than 30 years, it took a lot of effort, manpower, material resources and funds to build this barren land into today's civilized city. Therefore, you ask us to give up Batavia's request and confirm It is difficult for us to accept, so whether you can make a move at this point is enough to keep Batavia, and we must respect the relevant regulations set by China in this region.”
Li Huamei smiled slightly and said, "Since you recognize our rights to the Nanyang region, Batavia also belongs to this region. Therefore, we will never allow Batavia to be excluded, and we have not put the Netherlands East India. The company is driven away, and you can still stay in Batavia and continue to engage in trade in Asia, which has taken good care of your interests."
Matt Sokol thought to himself, could this be the same? In the past, Batavia was a colony of the Netherlands, and I decided to belong to my territory, but according to Chinese conditions, the Dutch East India Company is actually just a shopping mall, only Although being able to do business honestly is quite profitable, it is of course much worse than the current explosive profits. However, this also shows that China will not make easy concessions on this aspect.
At this time, the other negotiators were also a little impatient. Witzger said: "We can negotiate other conditions again, but this war was held in Nanyang and has nothing to do with India. Why do you want it if you want it. We think this is the most unreasonable thing to bring Sri Lanka in, and we hope that your side can cancel this and not include it in the content of this negotiation.”
Li Huamei shook her head and said, "It's too late to say this now, because we just received the news yesterday that Sri Lanka had been captured by the Chinese-British Allied Forces under the joint attack of our country's Indian Governor Zheng Chenggong and the British Indian Army. All the people in Sri Lanka have been captured. After you return to Batavia, you should receive this news. Therefore, we have included Sri Lanka in this negotiation, just to follow the flow. Of course, if you still believe that Sri Lanka should not be included in this negotiation, we can list Sri Lanka separately and conduct negotiations in addition."
At this moment, the faces of several negotiators in the Netherlands were as ugly as they were. Orvemas couldn't help but say, "You are so cunning. We are obviously fighting in Southeast Asia, but you actually took the opportunity to attack our Sri Lanka. ”
Li Huamei smiled faintly and said, "What's the matter? When fighting a war, as long as it is the enemy's territory, it will be the target of our attack. Who said that the battlefield can only be trapped in the Nanyang area, and it is so difficult that you can send a fleet to attack us, and we Can't we send a fleet to attack you? So let alone Sri Lanka, it's understandable that we send a fleet to attack the Netherlands."
These words also made several Dutch negotiators speechless. In fact, the degree and content of the negotiations have exceeded the Dutch's expectations. Matt Sokol said: "General Li, I ask today's That’s all for the negotiations, let’s talk tomorrow.”
Li Huamei nodded and said, "Of course, but there is one thing I must remind you that we don't have much time to negotiate, because our commander-in-chief has given an order. In five days, our fleet will be from Departing from Brunei to Batavia.”
This sentence immediately made the Dutch representative again, Matt Sokol said: "Why is this? How can you make such a military decision when the negotiations have not yet been concluded. Now I doubt your side Sincerity in negotiations.”
