PS.71 Encountered 404, applying for lifting the ban...
In the past three years, Mann has learned a good command of Chinese. After seeing Zhang Lian coming in, he hurried forward with open arms and warmly welcomed him, "Aiya, Ambassador Zhang, why did you come here when you have time?"
Facing the warm embrace of Mann, Zhang Lian, as a diplomat, could only greet him, hugged each other, and patted each other on the back: "Why, aren't you welcome yet?"
"where?"
Maine let go of Zhang Lian, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile, "Come on, sit down, sit down and talk."
Zhang Lian is not hypocritical, and sits generously on the leather sofa beside him.
Zhang Lian still remembered that Huaxia signed a peace agreement with Campbell three years ago, and gave it to Mann as a gift when Campbell built the embassy.
Maine walked to the wine cabinet at this time, looked back at Zhang Lian with a smile, and asked, "What would you like to drink
Liquor
wine
Vodka
Tea
soda
Or Campbell's drink? "
Zhang Lian smiled and said casually, "Let's have some tea."
Only then did Maine put the wine from Ili Province back in his hand.
He came over, sat opposite Zhang Lian, and poured Zhang Lian a cup of the West Lake Longjing that the office staff had just soaked for him.
"Come on, have some tea."
Looking at the teacup in his hand, Zhang Lian knew that whether it was a teacup, a teapot, or even this coffee table, they were all imported from Huaxia.
Although Governor Campbell secretly opposes the import of Chinese goods, he still enjoys the improved quality of life brought about by the import of Chinese goods.
Looking around the office, almost 40% of the items are domestically produced.
From decorations to practical things.
Zhang Lian took a sip, then gently placed the ceramic teacup on the coffee table, looked at Mian quietly, and said slowly, "Governor, let me get to the point."
Mann nodded and filled Zhang Lian's teacup: "Well, you say."
"After being seized by our customs, the goods you recently sold to the north have a lot of quality problems and have been confiscated."
Maine was stunned, didn't he come for tariffs
He raised his head suspiciously and looked at Zhang Lian, and continued to listen to Zhang Lian and said, "Not only that, but the ambassadors of the Furry Empire in China have all reported to us that your products have recently experienced quality problems.
Therefore, Huaxia and Maorong have negotiated and jointly decided to temporarily prohibit the flow of your products into Huamao. "
"This?"
Maine was a little stunned. Could this be a counterattack to Campbell for raising tariffs
However, Zhang Lian continued: "Many low-quality goods escaped the inspection of our side and the furry 'customs', and flowed into Panda, Avalon and even the Holy See, causing serious political problems to the northern countries. disaster.
Therefore, our country hopes that your country can take a good look at the export commodities.
We will not lift this temporary ban until your country's goods meet our country's and furry import and export standards. "
When he heard Zhang Lian talking about Panda, Avalon and the Holy See, Maine reacted.
With the beginning of the Holy See's eastern expedition, Campbell used the two channels of Huaxia and Furry, and began to send a lot of materials to Panda's rebels, the Avalon Empire and the Holy See.
In name, it is the other party's military supplies.
Of course, many of them were sold in the name of handicrafts and scrap iron.
Now it seems that Huaxia already knows that he is secretly supporting the Holy See's Eastern Expedition.
Maine hesitated at this time. Huaxia and Furry banned the inflow of Campbell's goods, which not only cut off the aid to the countries of the northern continent, but also cut off the way of life for those who run the sea and comprador.
Mann believes that such a ban is what factory capitalists would like to see.
However, cutting off the income source of the emerging class of compradors is also equivalent to cutting off part of the income of the Governor's Palace in Campbell.
If we compromise on this issue and give up our secret assistance to the Allied Forces in the Eastern Expedition, we will not only be unable to restrain Huaxia, but also the factory capitalists will not make themselves look good.
On this issue, Mann felt that he had to delay first and discuss countermeasures with the factory capitalists.
After pondering for a moment, Mann said, "Ambassador Zhang, please rest assured, I will let the domestic factory pay attention to the product quality.
I will also discuss with the members in the council and discuss with the workshop owners how to resolve this matter. "
Zhang Lian looked at Maine quietly, and said to himself, "Is this guy planning to delay
If it is delayed, it will inevitably continue to provide assistance to the coalition forces on the eastward expedition through other channels.
It is impossible from the Chinese side, so the only breakthrough is to provide smuggling assistance from the feudal empire of the furry dynasty. "
The necessary reminders have informed Maine, and what kind of result Campbell will get depends on the Governor's final decision.
However, Zhang Lian turned over the peace treaty signed three years ago and said: "Your Excellency, your country has recently raised tariffs, which violates the peace treaty signed by your country and our country.
Open the three cities of Snyway, Yanaige, and Lanmi as trading ports, allowing my country's commodities to circulate freely in these three cities. "
With an embarrassed smile on his face, Maine reassured him, "Ambassador Zhang, this is the personal behavior of the mayors of Snyway, Yanage, and Lanmee.
Moreover, the three cities adjust the overall tariff, not just for your country's goods.
At this point, we have absolutely not violated that agreement. "
Zhang Lian narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is it the private behavior of the three mayors?"
Main nodded: "Yes."
It is indeed a "private act". The three mayors of Snyway, Yanage, and Lammy are all representatives of factory-style capitalists. After you import goods from China, you are not interested in the interest groups behind these three mayors. Still very impressed.
Just taking this opportunity, the Governor's Office secretly instructed the three mayors to do so.
The three mayors naturally followed suit, raising tariffs and cracking down on comprador capitalists. Why not do it.
Maine continued: "If Ambassador Zhang thinks it is inappropriate to do so, I will recall the three mayors to Campbell to discuss with the councillors in Parliament to see if it is appropriate to exclude your country's products. on the list of tariffs."
Zhang Lian smiled lightly, another trick of dragging.
The three mayors felt Campbell's words, and it would take many days to rush out with the skills of foreign workers.
Then go to the parliament, vote, oppose, pass, drink tea, discuss and discuss, yes, it is impossible for this matter to have a result within half a month.
Zhang Lian could see that, whether it was to secretly assist the Allied Forces in the Eastern Expedition or to obstruct the flow of Chinese goods into Campbell, the attitude of the Governor's Office and most of Campbell's capitalists was the same.
Zhang Lian stood up slowly and said, "If that's the case, I'd like to trouble His Excellency the Governor to worry more about this matter, and lobby the members of parliament to finalize this matter.
The domestic observation period for these two matters is only one month. Once these two matters cannot be resolved within this month, I will not be able to explain to the big guys in China.
Huaxia and Campbell are neighboring countries separated by a strip of water. The islands in the northwest of Campbell are very close to the Ryukyu Province of our country. Everyone has frequent exchanges and a good relationship.
"The Ronin from Douluo"
Those big bosses in China don't want to make the friendly relationship between you and me decline because of these two things. "
Maine was taken aback, is this threatening himself
If we continue to provide assistance to the Allied Forces in the Eastern Expedition and do not cancel tariffs, after a month, Huaxia may send troops to take down those islands in the eastern part of the Chinese mainland, which they call the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea
This is a blatant military threat. Huaxia may send troops, no, it will definitely send troops!
Zhang Lian didn't mean that the country would send troops. There was no excuse. At most, he would do something small on these islands, so that the residents of the islands could fight for national autonomy and become independent from Campbell.
Mane nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Ambassador Zhang, I will discuss these two matters with the members of the parliament, and try to give your country a satisfactory answer."
Zhang Lian smiled and left.
However, Zhang Lian suddenly stopped when he walked to the door, turned his head to look at Meen, and asked, "By the way, Your Excellency Governor, do you know that Su Tan of the Ottoman Empire got married recently?"
"Um?"
