It is estimated that it is difficult for arrogant goblins to comprehend this profound philosophy of life, but the repeated fiascos of the Grand Fleet still give them a wake-up call. The first lesson is that the human puppet army is unreliable, and it is necessary to ban it in the future, and the second lesson is to uselessly repeat the offensive routine that has never been successful before, which can only be self-inflicted, to defeat Will Needham, the human regent, the second goblin empire must find another way to have hope, although the goblins are stubborn but not stupid, they quickly use their brains to come up with new tricks.

“…… Do you want the empire to issue privateer licenses as well? ”

The Goblin Emperor's puzzled expression seemed unnecessary to the Chief of the Military Department, and he continued to elaborate on his own proposition, saying:

"Yes, His Majesty the Emperor. We used to treat all pirates as enemies, which confused our strategic objectives, and from the beginning to the end, the empire had only one purpose, and that was to ensure absolute control over the main continent and eradicate all enemies that might threaten the stability of the empire. ”

At this point, the chief of the military department, who was putting on a profound posture, suddenly paused, and the deputy chief of the military department next to him immediately said:

"Your Majesty the Emperor, most pirates have no fixed position, they only want to get money and loot everywhere, they are a group of criminals. It is not in the interest of the Empire to adopt a consistent high-handed strategy against all pirate groups, and has relegated many enemies that do not need a military solution to the camp of human resistance. ”

The two leaders of the Goblin Military Department accurately analyzed the essence of the pirate profession, and the reason why the pirates are enemies of the Second Goblin Empire is not because they like or dislike the goblins, but because they believe that the rise of the goblins is blocking their financial path, and the conflict between the two sides has intensified to the point of no control.

In the Old World, there was a saying that the pirates fought to the end with the goblin navy, and the idea that the overly arrogant goblins tried to extend the will of the empire to the seven seas and exercise land supremacy in an unfamiliar territory, which was too much to overestimate their own strength. You must know that even the traditional naval powers of the New World could not exterminate the pirates who were whirling and whirling, and could only weaken the danger of piracy by controlling the main shipping routes and reducing the scope of piracy. The reckless and inexperienced goblins dared to try such a difficult technical task of welding detonator saw bulbs, and were exhausted by the surging pirate coalition, which can only be said to be their own fault.

Becoming the nominal supreme ruler certainly depends on the golden bloodline, and if the Goblin Emperor was a useless waste, he would have been crippled by the goblin bosses, and he quietly listened to the statements of the two subordinates, and said:

"Are you going to use pirates against pirates, luring them into killing each other with profits, so that you will no longer be able to mobilize a pirate alliance to harass the Empire?"

Hearing this, the chief of the military department bowed and said:

"That's right, Your Majesty the Emperor, we hope that we can divide the pirate forces and treat those ordinary pirates differently from the private armies organized by the exiles of the human nobility."

Plans that seem beautiful at first often end up being turned out to be a big hole in the harsh reality, and bad ideas sound like good ideas until they prove to be bad ideas. In view of this, the Goblin Emperor did not assert lightly, saying:

“…… But if the pirates get the Empire's privateering permits, they will demand that the Empire open its ports for resupply, isn't that contrary to our basic position? ”

"Majesty, open ports can be demarcated by the empire, and we are considering demarcating the thirty-two major estuarine ports around the main continent as supply ports."

Without the goblin emperor answering, the few goblin bosses who were present at the hearing couldn't hold back and interjected:

"Thirty-two ports, that's too many."

"Those filthy and despicable pirates cannot be allowed to defile the land of the Empire."

"What should they do if they get information on behalf of the exiled nobles of the human race? You're playing with fire! ”

In the face of the wave of opposition that poured in from the court, the chief of the military department was very calm, and he looked at the goblin emperor and said:

"The military department has proposed to open five ports in advance, and if this plan is implemented smoothly, we will gradually increase the number of ports until all 32 ports are opened."

The Goblin Emperor ignored the roaring noise of the bigwigs, who had never stopped, and nodded and said:

"Well, you submit the specific plan, I will use the seal if I see it, and then submit it to the Senate for review."

"Yes, Your Majesty. The military department will do its best to complete this plan. ”

The so-called fighting poison with poison, this is the traditional Chinese medicine term in the old world, and it was later extended into an idiom, there is no such thing in the new world, and everyone can still understand the same meaning.

Fighting against the human exiles, the Second Goblin Empire, which has been repeatedly at a disadvantage, finally began to put down its usual overlord frame after a crushing defeat, and took the initiative to shake an olive branch to the group of pirates with complex origins. Those pirates who are only bent on making money don't care who they rob, they only care if they can grab enough money to fill their pockets, if it weren't for the goblin navy that once cornered them, anyone who wants to unite the pirates who belong to the rabble to form a coalition can make passers-by laugh as soon as they say it.

"Shhh The greenskins are playing so beautifully, and I'm afraid that the new pirate convention in New Caledonia will not be able to start. ”

Luo Zhengdao immediately tasted it when he received the news, although he didn't think that the goblins were so easy to subdue the pirate groups active in the area of the Star Sea, at least he also pierced a thorn in the hearts of the human exiled nobles and other pirate forces, God knows if someone really planned to betray the allies in exchange for glory and wealth from the goblins, of course, this matter has to be guarded against.

"Your Highness, Your Excellency Gao De has arrived."

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled with relief, if Gao De, who was more well-informed than him, set off immediately after receiving the information, it would not take much time to run from New Caledonia's lair to the Chuanshan Islands. Immediately, Luo Zhengdao stood up and said:

"Well, invite him to the reception room for tea and wait, I'll go change my clothes and come."

The host needs to wear formal clothes to meet guests, this is the unwritten tradition of human dynasties, Luo Zhengdao really does not like the reggent's cumbersome clothes with up to thirteen layers, usually he only wears the silk robes worn by the nobles every day according to his own preferences, the loose and comfortable robe is much more comfortable than the heavy and dull royal clothes. To meet Gaude Needham today, he must not be rude and deliberately wear clothes and accessories that do not fit his status to entertain guests, which can be interpreted as both intimacy and informality, as well as contempt. When it comes to Luo Zhengdao's position, it is better to have more than one thing, rather than trying to explain to others that his actions are not malicious, it is easier not to make low-level mistakes in the first place.

"Your Excellency, you're welcome, please take a seat!"

Gao De's expression was very anxious, and he could see that he must not have slept well in the past few days, and after a sigh, he spoke:

"Your Royal Highness Regent, the goblins have devised this plot to split the pirate alliance, and it would be too bad that they would enlist some pirate groups to join us in the attack."

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao, who was deeply convinced, nodded and said:

"Alright! Frankly, we can't stop the goblins from buying those people, pirates go to sea to loot and make a fortune, anything that can make them money is good, and all other reasons are nonsense. ”

Originally, Gaude Needham was not convinced by Luo Zhengdao's claim to be the regent, and how big the hat you were, you would inevitably incur hostility if you talked to yourself, and the relationship between the two sides gradually drifted apart from that time.

The Second Goblin Empire has repeatedly failed to do any good with Luo Zhengdao, and Gao De naturally will not say anything strange against his will, and people can stop the goblin from attacking that ability, but now that the goblins have broken up the pirate alliance, Gao De feels that the pressure has increased greatly, and he has to seek new help to alleviate the harsh external environment.

Luo Zhengdao's success in the new world is partly due to the generous financial aid of Yaling and Elves, and the other half is due to the fact that he has always been based on establishing a self-sufficient circular system, and has never regarded obtaining foreign aid as the greatest capital he relies on to survive. Even for the Yaling Empire, the big benefactor behind the scenes, Luo Zhengdao also maintained a relatively reserved cooperative attitude, although this practice weakened the growth rate of his power, it also strengthened the self-motivation and initiative of the new organization, and the kind of regime that was bent on relying on foreign aid to support itself was destined to be nothing serious.

With mixed feelings to discuss countermeasures with Luo Zhengdao, Gao German said in a low tone:

"We don't seem to have any other choice, we have to stop the goblins from doing this, the pirates are being co-opted by the greenskins, and our bad luck is not far off."

Although there is a slight difference from Gao De's thoughts, Luo Zhengdao also feels that allowing the goblins to engage in the united front so unscrupulously is deliberately digging a pit to bury himself, and said:

"Your Excellency Gao De, do you want to join forces with me to attack the main continent?"

Nodding slightly in agreement, Gao De then looked at Luo Zhengdao intently and said:

"Yes, if I can't find another way, this is the last option I can think of, concentrate on destroying the main shipbuilding base and port of the goblins, Your Highness and I should be able to do it together, and I don't think Yaling and the elves will stop us from doing so."

It is one thing to look down on Su zhì of the Goblin Navy, Luo Zhengdao never underestimated the almost infinite power of the old enemy, narrowed his eyes and said:

"Is it only by raids? No, a successful raid won't do us much good, attacking the main continent requires a lot of momentum, we can't destroy the goblin navy with our strength, but we have to let other pirate gangs see our power. Your Excellency Gao De, where do you think the first target is more appropriate? ”

"I'd like to hear from you first."

Getting up and coming to the huge nautical chart covering the main continent and the sea of stars, Luo Zhengdao raised his hand and pointed to the point above, Gao De saw the position he pointed out clearly, and exclaimed:

"Ahh Dongning again? Could this bone be a little too hard? ”
