"The negotiations have been going on for more than half a month, and you have not come up with any constructive suggestions. It has been a meaningless war of words all day long!"
"He actually brought God out. The Holy See did grant Spain and Portugal the right to explore the sea back then, but that was more than three hundred years ago!"
"Don't forget, those colonies in South America have become independent countries! I didn't see the Holy See raining down fire to punish them!"
As soon as Xiao Letian opened his mouth, the Spaniards were choked and speechless. They all stared at him angrily.
Xiao Letian has seen so many ice knives and snow swords that he doesn't care about this murderous look at all!
"I only offer two solutions to the impasse in the Philippines. The first is that Spain must recognize the national independence movement in Luzon!"
"Han immigrants have been living in Luzon for more than five hundred years. Currently, one-third of Luzon's population is in the war... Their demands must be recognized!"
"No need to stare anymore, even if you stare into pieces, you can't change this fact!"
"The national independence movements in Central and South America are just around the corner. How did Chile, Peru, Ecuador... how did these countries become independent?"
"It's impossible for you Spaniards not to know! If you refuse to recognize the Chinese national independence movement, then this war will never stop..."
"The Luzon War of Independence will continue forever until the last Spaniard is thrown into the sea and drowned!"
"You can intervene militarily, it doesn't matter. You can send fleets and expeditionary forces from Europe, no matter how many, it doesn't matter... But I am sure that the Chinese in Luzon will not surrender!"
"They will drag the war into a disaster, ten years? Twenty years? Even a hundred years... The tropical rain forests of Southeast Asia will become the base of countless guerrillas, and they will fight with you until the end of the world!"
The head of state's words were so domineering that all the Chinese representatives stood up and clapped and cheered. The Spanish and British faces were livid.
"Then fight! Spain will never accept such blackmail! Stop negotiating and send an expeditionary force to conquer the Philippines!"
The old Duke slapped the table angrily and roared, while his companions behind him were equally angry and foaming at the mouth!
The negotiations were about to collapse. Of course Gladstone would not really want to stand up for the Spanish, and Britain would not help the Spanish form an expeditionary force.
What the British want is to blackmail the interests of the Chinese, so the negotiations must not collapse!
"Quiet! Please be quiet! The Spanish delegation, please be quiet..." Gladstone and the Duke of Newcastle desperately maintained order.
"We are all civilized people. Let the other party finish his words first...let the head of state finish his second option!"
The Luojiano Hall, which was like a vegetable market, gradually became quiet. Xiao Letian looked around at the angry Spanish representatives and smiled evilly.
"If your country is unwilling to go to war and is afraid that too many people will die and harm the world, we Chinese can still take a step back... For Luzon, we can use redemption to resolve the conflict!"
"It means that I, Xiao Letian, will spend a sum of money to buy the sovereignty of Luzon Island from the King of Spain. In this way, wouldn't both parties need to bleed..."
"As for the sovereignty I bought, how do I deal with the rebellious Chinese? That's my problem... Well... I am still very sincere..."
"How about I offer you a sky-high price? Eight million pounds... Let's see if I am sincere enough!"
"Oh God...shh..." The Europeans at the scene booed. The Spanish delegation was so angry that everyone jumped up and shouted angrily.
"How shameless! The Philippines, which is so big, only offers a price of eight million pounds. You are humiliating me, Spain!"
"Oh... So there really is a price? How about you increase it a little..."
"No, Spain will never accept your humiliation!"
Xiao Letian looked at the furious Spanish representative and laughed helplessly, "I've given you two paths... Go back and think about it!"
"I don't have that much time to fight with you. I will wait for you for three days... If you don't make a choice in three days, it means that Spain will continue to fight!"
"Then prepare for war...squeeze tens of millions more pounds out of Spain's collapsed finances, and then fall into a protracted war that lasts for decades or even centuries..."
"Sink, continue to sink... I believe that Luzon's endless struggle will drag the Spanish Empire into the abyss!"
Xiao Letian has already realized that you Spaniards will either fight to the end and kill all the Chinese on Luzon Island, or you will obediently recognize national self-determination and the legitimacy of the Chinese national liberation movement!
But if you admit it, you won't get any benefits, so go back to your country in despair!
If you don’t dare to fight, you can’t fight, and then you feel that you have no face when you admit national independence... then well, you can accept the second way, I will give you some money, and you can get out!
What is money? It's just to give you some face in the end so that you can step down. Do you really think this kind of transaction can make money? Stop dreaming!
The Spaniards could do nothing but vent their emotions at this moment. Everyone knew that the Spanish Civil War was not over yet, so how could they possibly have the strength to go on an expedition to Asia.
But it is really shameful to choose the second path, and judging from Britain's current attitude, it is obvious that Spain will not be allowed to compromise.
Gladstone warned the old Duke with murderous eyes. The meaning was very clear. If you dare to accept the Chinese conditions, don't blame the British for being rude.
The threat frightened the Spaniards, and Gladstone turned to look at Xiao Letian: "Your Majesty the Head of State, your conditions may be a bit too harsh!"
"The Spanish have ruled the Philippines for more than three hundred years and have always been the legitimate rulers. Under Spanish rule, the Philippines has developed economically and improved its civilization. Its historical achievements cannot be erased!"
"And this riot by the Chinese is a serious provocation to civilized society... I hope the head of state will think about it carefully and not try to humiliate the entire European civilized world!"
Depend on! How shameless! Xiao Letian almost applauded for this shameless statement!
"Haha... Dear Prime Minister, it seems that you never read newspapers, right? Didn't you open the information that I, the Chinese, shared with you?"
"How do you explain the mass graves outside Manila? What do you think of the massacres recorded in history books by Spanish colonists?"
"Three hundred years of brutal taxation have made life miserable for the Chinese...are you going to deny this?"
"The evidence I provided was all recorded by Europeans! The mass graves are irrefutable evidence that they really exist. You have to deny it!"
Gladstone curled his lips and smiled, "This is just your family's words... We can't believe it all!"
"Even if those deaths are true in history, in the process of civilization expansion, such killings are inevitable!"
"Inferior peoples are unwilling to accept the order of higher civilization, so someone must teach them to obey the order...it is necessary to shed some blood appropriately..."
Listening to Gladstone's shameless words, Xiao Letian wanted to go up and slap him twice, but what would happen if he hit him? Europeans are no longer arrogant.
Gladstone is already relatively friendly among Europeans. If a politician like Benjamin came to power, his actions would probably be even more extreme and shameless.
Just when the two sides were arguing, Xiao Letian secretly winked at Wang Huaiyuan, and soon the CIA officials left the venue.
