Arthur and all the Australian officials fell silent. They didn't expect that during the negotiation on purchasing Indigenous Peoples, which should have been the most controversial topic, the Dutch government would compromise so easily.
This means that the most difficult part of buying Indigenous Peoples, specifically suppressing their resistance, will be undertaken by the Dutch government.
There was even a brief moment of silence in the room, only broken when Arthur coughed softly and the conversation gradually resumed.
Prime Minister Evan asked in disbelief, "Minister Herbert, are you sure the Dutch government will undertake all the work of capturing and transporting Indigenous Peoples?"
An Indigenous Person is not worth much money, and even if there are thousands of them, their value will not exceed 100,000 pounds.
