Chapter 422: The Conquest of the Mediterranean
Urban was stunned, looking at his complacent expression, he couldn't help but hang his head and shake the wine glass in his hand. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
He felt that his son's experience was far from enough.
"Are you sure the Danes will do your bidding?"
"Of course, down to the commoners to the generals, they treat me with more respect than they do to the king. ”
"The question is, how could the King of Denmark, as the monarch of a country, allow a person to attain a higher status than himself? ”
Hearing him say this, Christine looked really stunned, but quickly returned to normal, and said with a smile: "The truth is that he is indeed supporting me, maybe he thinks differently than yours." ”
"But..."
"Okay father, don't talk about this, let's talk about other things, such as how to arrange life in the future. Christine interrupted him, digressing the subject.
After rolling his eyes and seeing his son's calm demeanor, Urban no longer bothered about this matter, holding the wine glass and smiling: "I think it's good to be like this now, travel with the captain, and you can enjoy different scenery everywhere you go, and you don't have to worry about eating and drinking." ”
"Oh my God, you weren't like that before, and I'll never forget that you took my mother and me all the way to Constantinople in order to use your talents. ”
Urban shook his head again and again, paused, took a sip of wine, and sighed.
"And then what happened? This is what I regret most in my life, losing the most important thing in my life in pursuit of so-called ambition, wealth and status. ”
"But it's different now. ”
"What's the difference? I just know that I'm happy now, every day is carefree, the captain is very nice to all of us, and you know what, he rescued me from Istanbul, and I promised to help him design and cast the artillery. ”
"I can give him a large sum of money, even a batch of warships and cannons, in return. Christine went on to say that he felt there was nothing in this world that money couldn't solve.
Urban hesitated, drank the remaining half of the wine in one gulp, and was silent for a long time.
"However, I really like this free and easy life, and I don't want to work as hard as I did back then, you see, how old you are now. ”
Looking at her face in the mirror, Christine lowered her eyebrows, and then smiled with relief: "After I finish designing the last battleship, I can be idle, everything I have paid over the years is for revenge, I want to destroy the hateful Muhammad II and destroy the Ottoman Empire!
In his words, Urban smelled the strong smell of gunpowder, and looking at his eyes occupied by hatred, he couldn't help but think of Brad's old enemy, John Cena, who didn't want to see his son become like this.
"Hey, forget about the past, people can't live just for revenge, that will not only be tiring, but it will also make you feel like you have lived in vain the moment you are about to leave this world. ”
"But my revenge plan is about to begin, and I've been holding on for eight years, should I give up at this time?" said Christine, incredibly stubborn.
It is impossible to convince a person to give up the fruits of eight years of hard work when they are only one step away from success.
Staring at him for a moment, Urban furrowed his brow, refueled himself with a glass of wine, and smiled reassuringly.
"Well, I don't stop you, I also hope to defeat the Ottomans, but I want you to live as happily and to the fullest as I am now. ”
Christine smiled knowingly, clinked glasses with him, and looked at the mountains in the distance, quietly, with a hint of curiosity in her expression.
"Sailing, is it really that fun?"
Urban thought about this question and finally had an accurate answer.
"Sailing itself is very boring, you think, drifting on the sea all day and all night, except for the cabin is the deck, blowing the sea breeze and eating fish and shrimp, climbing the watchtower to look at the sea level when you are bored, hoping to reach the land quickly... But did you know that when you finally end a journey and set foot on land, the joy in your heart cannot be expressed in words? Watch the sailors rush down the dock to the hotel, wander the streets to buy a beautiful dress for their wives and daughters, shop for knick-knacks... Such a scene, how emotional. ”
The longing in Urban's eyes seemed to paint the most beautiful picture, he paused for a moment, and then said: "More importantly, I heard the captain say that they are going to a place called America, where there are not only beautiful mountains and rivers, but also many mysterious unknowns waiting to be discovered, what is more interesting in this world than exploration?"
After listening to him, Christine paused and smiled: "It seems to be really interesting." ”
"Do you want to come along?" Urban, trying to convince him.
"I don't have that chance, I'll talk about it after I destroy the Ottoman Empire. Christine raised her glass, her gaze still lingering on the hazy mountains in the distance.
"Son, can we only be separated again?"
"Of course not, we finally met, this time you just stay and don't go, if you want to sail, I will form the largest fleet in the future, let's go to the world to explore, just go to the one you said... America? Where is it?"
"I don't know, only the captain knows, or else he would be the captain. Urban smiled bitterly, paused and continued, "But I don't want to stay and fight with the royal family." ”
"There is no need to intrigue, my position in Denmark is supreme, and of course you are even more so, whether it is a prince or a princess, you have to be submissive to you. Christine smiled confidently.
Urban frowned, he always felt that things were not so simple, people were born for profit, and let an outsider become the master of the country, is the Danish king a fool?
"Child, I advise you to be cautious..."
Christine shook her head and said with a smile: "Stay, father, our father and son rule Denmark together, order the expeditionary army to cross the Atlantic to fight in the Mediterranean, and destroy the hateful Ottoman Turkey, we will enjoy endless glory and wealth, how good!"
Urban raised his eyebrows, and was about to answer, when the door tuk beep twice.
"Who's there?" asked Christine habitually.
"The meal is ready, ready to eat!" Santiago's voice came from outside the door.
"Okay, right away!" Urban responded, then shrugged at Christine, "We'll talk after dinner." (To be continued.) )
