"Your Majesty, the speed of expansion of our navy has reached its limit, and the latest batch of soldiers transferred to the navy have suffered a number of drowning deaths during their internship on the ship. Although His Majesty did not want to admit it, there were no qualified sailors and officers, and no matter how many warships we launched, they would be vases in the harbor. ”

Trying his best to dissuade the goblin emperor from acting rashly, the minister clearly saw where his weakness was, and there was no shortage of people who understood it among the high-level goblins. The problem is that no matter what era and what kind of political system, it is always difficult for people who do practical things to win over those who are irresponsible and play tricks. Guns and ground work to divide the winner and loser, otherwise you have to use the language theory to distinguish who is right and who is wrong, which is tantamount to asking for fish in the wood.

It is far more troublesome to maintain a large navy in the sail age than in the industrial age, and it takes a year and a half to learn the most basic skill of a sailor, knotting.

Needless to say, walking on a sail boom that sways in the wind and rain and adjusting the sail rope is as difficult as a juggler in a circus, and it is much more difficult to get a group of well-trained and skilled sailors than to spend money on shipbuilding.

In the naval history of the Old World, Napoleon, the dwarf giant of the Gallic chicken, once strongly supported the development of a navy in order to confront John Bull on the other side of the channel, and he once proudly said that he could lead an army of 100,000 to conquer the British Isles on the opposite side as long as the fog obscures the Calais one morning. The always sinister John Bull did not choose to go head-to-head with his opponent, but instead used a method of drawing money from the bottom of the kettle, seizing all the French ships they could find at the first time, and the result was that the Gallic Chicken Navy had the best ships in the world at that time, but it was full of a group of rookie sailors with extremely poor professional skills.

In view of this, the large West French Combined Fleet, which had a numerical advantage on paper, was inevitably beaten all over by the John Bull navy in the later Battle of Trafalgar, which made Nelson's prestige. It's normal that things end up like this, no one can expect a group of rookies to overturn the old birds, and many times, the battle is already clear before it starts.

Of course, the Goblin Emperor understood the minister's statement, and it glanced coldly at the high-level goblins present, and said in an unkind tone:

"The Empire cannot accept a humiliating peace, let the military department take care of this matter!"

"Emperor Majesty Xià ......"

Hearing this, the chief and deputy chief of the military department only felt that the five thunders had hit the top, and the gray color of their faces was not much stronger than that of the dead. Suppose according to what the Goblin Emperor just said, the military department handles things properly, and it is its leadership, and if it is messed up, the military bosses are corrupt and incompetent, and this is the rhythm of pitting them to death!

Seeing that he was about to become a scapegoat, the chief of the military department could no longer care about many taboos at this time, and got up and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, the military department can't guarantee ......"

"Shut up!"

The Goblin Emperor's sharp and cold gaze was projected like a poisoned arrow, and he said:

"It's not a consultation with you, it's an order."

With that, the Goblin Emperor turned to look at the other participants and said:

"If any of you disagree with this plan, there is a better suggestion to bring it up? Needless to say, rush to Qiongzhou and slaughter that human and other nonsense. ”

The other participants were suppressed by the momentum of the Goblin Emperor, which did not mean that the chief of the military department could also be willing to carry the black cauldron, and he struggled and said:

"To address the threat of the human navy, you must allow me to postpone the implementation of the yellow scheme."

It can be seen that the chief of the military department is about to be forced to jump off the wall, and the goblin emperor can't help but be afraid of the influence of the military bosses in the military system, as well as the good relationship with the shaman system, after a while, the goblin emperor said with a pun:

"The Blue Initiative is our number one priority."

"Yes, His Majesty the Emperor, of course I know, but ......"

The Goblin Emperor's subtle concessions were heard, but what the Chief of the Military Department needed for the moment was a clear assurance, not an ambiguous cliché, and that he did not want to become a traitor in the mouth of the radicals. Although the goblin emperor, who knew what was at stake, was reluctant to give a clear instruction and put the black cauldron on his head, he had no choice but to continue to be vague at this time, so he had to say:

"Well, the implementation of the yellow plan can be postponed and the implementation of the blue plan can be guaranteed first."

Hearing this, the chief of the military department let out a long breath, with a layer of fine cold sweat on his forehead, and said with his chin bowed:

"Yes, I immediately ordered the postponement of the yellow plan."

Trying to weaken the population base of the old enemy class is a long-term plan, and if you have to choose the lesser of two evils, then there is no doubt that it is not worth losing your life in order to gamble on one go. For goblins, emigrating overseas is an imperative escape plan, they can't leave the good days of the main material world, but they have to go to the lower planes to be neighbors with demons and devils, right? The plan code-named "Yellow Plan" to deal with human slaves can slow down the pace a bit, and wait until the goblins have almost dealt with the immigration matters, and the navy, which is now full of rookies, has also improved its training, and it will be too late to settle the general account with Will Needham.

Until then, the first problem is not to push the human race, things get to the point where everyone is scattered, even if the goblins can win, the gains outweigh the losses, this matter involves a complex stakes, which is more important, a little care is easy to measure.

Temporarily alleviate the contradiction in a compromise between the two sides, this tacit understanding is also the result that Luo Zhengdao hopes to get, did he lose money by making this deal with the goblin? Of course not. Luo Zhengdao's main attack is the technology tree, localizing the old world technology, and waiting for the practical use of black technologies such as floating battleships and magnetic railguns, at that time, it is not whether the goblins can retaliate, but whether they dare to send it to the door to find a draw.

Although there is a decision, the specific operation level of the matter is also facing a series of problems, just after being beaten violently, he took the initiative to run to make peace with humans, and the goblins really can't pull down their faces in terms of face, but they have to reveal this meaning in time, and tacitly do it, which is really a dilemma.

At this time, the value of the dog's legs is suddenly highlighted, and it is absolutely reasonable to help the compradors to bear the things that are inconvenient for the masters to deal with.

After a few days of delay, the representative of the Xiangjiang Merchant Group took the frigate of the Goblin Navy to find the human fleet wandering near the harbor and asked to meet with Luo Zhengdao. Luo Zhengdao has never had a good impression of these bunch balls that eat inside and out, and the merchant group has to try to please the king in order to survive, so he has hollowed out his mind. It is undoubtedly taboo to provide money and materials to human exiles, even if Luo Zhengdao can accept it, the goblins will not agree, but there is no substantive expression, and empty words are not enough, and the way that the Xiangjiang business group finally chose to show goodwill is reflected in the regular delivery of beautiful women.

In the goblin's view, a few more beauties in Luo Zhengdao's harem can't enhance the strength of human beings, and second, they can also try to corrupt someone's fighting spirit, even if it doesn't work, it will leave a bad impression on onlookers that they are obsessed with women.

In order to cooperate with the Xiangjiang merchant group's joint show of goodwill, the goblins did not hesitate to send a large number of rapists to pick beautiful women from concentration camps in various places and send them to Xiangjiang, and then the merchant group jointly screened and raised them for a period of time, and picked out the best part of Su zhì and sent it to Luo Zhengdao, and the general flow of things is like this.

What should we do with the insidious and cunning enemy who has used sugar-coated shells? Eat the sugarcoat and shoot the cannonball back? Of course, this is an overly idealistic state, and it is very difficult to implement in practice.

Luo Zhengdao's way of dealing with it is much simpler, no matter who sends a beautiful woman, he will accept it as it is, it doesn't matter if he is a spy or not, anyway, he will be sent to bed in vain, and he will not have to worry about it if he eats it dry and throws it into the harem. Those palace scheming palace fighting dramas are enough for these women to play for a lifetime without changing tricks, Luo Zhengdao can't even bother to distinguish who is undercover, but I don't know how many pairs of eyes in the harem are waiting to see others make mistakes. Whenever some of the slight fox tails are exposed, the bright-eyed harem competitors can eat them alive without condiments, don't underestimate a woman's determination to eradicate her enemies, that method is much more vicious than a man's treatment of a failed enemy.

After meeting with Luo Zhengdao, after flattering him, the representatives of the merchant group immediately carefully revealed the goblin's mention and plate, in their opinion, not to provoke King Will Needham to cut off his own head, this mission is considered a complete merit, and there is no luxury in convincing him.

Unlike the negotiation opponent who did not have expectations, Luo Zhengdao nodded briskly and said:

"Well, I agreed."

“…… This is to save countless fellow human beings...... What, you agreed! ”

Luo Zhengdao, who was sitting on the chair, was silent and said slowly:

"Yes, you heard me right, I agreed. If the goblins stop driving human slaves inland to their deaths in exchange for me stopping attacking them, I'll agree to the deal. ”

The representative of the two merchant groups was overjoyed and said in a loud voice:

"Ahh You are so great, and all mankind will thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Beautiful words don't cost money, complimenting others is the cheapest way to curry favor, Luo Zhengdao saw this clearly, snorted and said:

"Hmph, sue those greenskins, don't try to fool me, they can't afford it."

As soon as they heard this, the fat and thin two businessmen sent by the merchant group couldn't help but sweat like rain, the two of them took out silk handkerchiefs and wiped their sweat, then nodded and bowed their waists, and did their best to be humble, and they didn't even dare to say half a word. Sandwiched between the two fierce beasts of the Goblin Second Empire and the Kingdom of Light, this splint gas is not easy to bear, and the current pool is too deep for the Xiangjiang Merchant Group Joint Committee to mix!
