"Supremember to China!"

In Bertuggio, he spoke out his plan word by word.

However, this time his speech was not interrupted. After all, it was not new to surrender to China in Europe in 1666.

"Supremember! When Venice becomes a vassal state of China, they are naturally willing to help us resist the invasion of the Turks. Moreover, Venice can also become the partner the Chinese rely on in the Mediterranean! We may even monopolize the trade in the Mediterranean!"

Although Bertuggio said a lot of benefits, the Governor and others who had been eager to try were immediately disappointed. Many people even pointed and shouted:

"What's the point! It always costs a price to applaud the Chinese."

"Yes, as we all know, it is okay to surrender to China, but when the Chinese offer conditions, they have never been merciful."

Faced with the condemnation of the governor and members of the 10-member group, Marcandonho, who was a hardliner in the 10-member group consultation group, did not question Bertuggio anymore. Instead, after his colleagues around him calmed down, he asked with interest:

"Bertuggio, my friend, you should know that whether it is England or Condai, they have become vassal states of China, but it does not mean that they have not paid a certain price. The Chinese have obtained concessions and leased land on their land, and the Chinese have also obtained other privileges there."

Now China's vassal state is not a "vassal state" within the traditional Eastern tributary system, but a real vassal state, and even determines the power and obligations of the sovereign state and the vassal state through treaties and other means. The sovereign state must enjoy a lot of privileges.

"Marcandogno, I think we are all very clear. From the rise of Turkey to the present, in the past two hundred years, we have fought five wars with the Turks. In the face of the Turkish invasion, we will definitely continue to fight against Turkey in the future. The sixth, seventh, even ten, and eleventh. One thing is certain that Venice, by Venice alone, cannot stop the Turkish attack. You guys, you should be very clear that Venice is too weak compared to Turkey. How long can we resist Turkey? If we lose Chania, we will lose the Mediterranean, lose the Mediterranean, and lose the war, but it is only a matter of time. We surrender to China in exchange for not just China.

The country will help us in this war. According to their practice, they will definitely sign a treaty with Venice, and then they will ask us to rent a port area suitable for construction, where they will station troops. We can negotiate and set up their ports near Turkey. Not only can we obtain China's protection of its vassal state, but the existence of Chinese power will also make the Turks take it as a warning and dare not act rashly, otherwise they will have to face a war with the Chinese! Of course, on the other hand, after becoming a vassal state of China, we will also enjoy preferential treatment that is incomparable to other European countries like England and Prince Conde and others. What opens the door to us will be the trade of the entire East."

Bertuggio said in a constant stream of selling to everyone the benefits of surrendering to China, and finally smiled.

"Submission to China will only bring countless benefits to Venice!"

"Can Venice maintain sovereign independence after surrendering to China? How can we ensure that the Chinese will not really interfere in Venice's internal affairs? Will the Chinese really fight this war with the Turks for such submissions?"

Governor Contarini asked.

"I believe that everyone, like the Governor, has the same doubts in their hearts now, but if we don't try, what is waiting for Venice? But here I can swear to God that even if Venice becomes a province of China, they will not force us to change our faith and steal our wealth, which is better than living under the rule of the Turks. As we all know, the Turks' ambitions for Europe have never stopped. It is certain that with the decline of Venice, they will eventually attack us. By then, neither Habsburg nor France will be able to save us! Only China! In this world, only China can save us!"

When Bertuggio shouted loudly, someone suddenly rushed in. It was not an ordinary official, but the clerk of the Governor, Pierre, who was from the Serch family, shouted excitedly as soon as he entered the door.

"Everyone! Chinese! Chinese!"

Pierre, who broke into the venue, seemed excited. He stood in the venue and shouted loudly.

"Their fleet attacked Lassi and destroyed the Turkish fleet! They sank hundreds of Turkish warships! God can testify that the Chinese saved us!"

"What! They attacked the Turkish fleet!"

From the Governor to the members of the Ten-member Group, they all stood up and asked in surprise.

"Is this true?"

"Yes, the whole Mediterranean is now spreading this news. The news was brought by the merchant ships released by the Chinese. The Chinese asked the merchant ships to tell everyone that they were waiting for the arrival of merchant ships from various countries in Rumanet. They wanted to hire a thousand merchant ships from various countries at a high price!"

Hire merchant ships at a high price!

The officials who realized that they were profitable immediately flashed with greed in their eyes. Business has always been the first principle believed in by the Venetians. However, they can still distinguish between importance.

"Why did the Chinese attack Lassi? They didn't know, were the Turkish troops there attacking Chania? They were helping Venice, are they?"

"They are not trying to help Venice!"

Pierre said loudly.

"The news brought by the captains said that the Chinese had declared war on Turkey, and their crown prince had led hundreds of thousands of troops from China tens of thousands of miles away to Suez. The Turks of Lasisi were of course their enemies!"

The news brought by Pierre made everyone stunned for a moment and couldn't speak. The Chinese declared war on the Turks!

In an instant, a thought emerged in their hearts Venice was saved!

"Gentlemen, it's our chance!"

In response to this, Bertuggio, who had long been confident, suddenly shouted as he looked at the people.

"If you miss this opportunity, after the war between China and the Turks ends, God can prove that they cannot fight for us again, if we do not seize this opportunity!"

In fact, he has been waiting for this news. A few days ago, he had secretly met with a special envoy, Zheng Sen's special envoy, and they held extremely secret talks.

This is why he made this appeal today, and everything was in the plan of which Prime Minister, and now is the time to convince them.

Faced with Bertucio's appeal, Governor Contalini said:

"Ah, even if we can accept your advice, the Grand Parliament may not necessarily agree to submit to the Chinese."

The main responsibilities of the Grand Parliament are to elect the Governor and members of the Ten-member Committee, and have legislative power. If you want to surrender to China, the Grand Parliament must choose.

"I think everyone knows very well what is the best choice for us now. Where is the future of Venice? Is it a new province in Turkey? Or is it a gift to the Turks? Or is it a surrender to the Chinese in exchange for trade privileges in the East and security guarantees? It depends entirely on the choice of the Grand Parliament. However, I need to remind you that it is best to make a decision faster. Because if you miss this opportunity, perhaps Venice will never have the chance to become a vassal of China. After all, the war between the Chinese and the Turks will always end."

Bertuggio reminded.
