The spectacular visual effects of the bombing campaign were clearly visible from the artillery mirror mounted on the new gimbal mount, and although it was not comparable to the money-burning behavior of the old world B52 and others playing carpet bombing, Luo Zhengdao was still satisfied, and when those pirate leaders arrived, he could officially introduce this epoch-making advanced weapon.

No matter how powerful the naval guns equipped on the battleship are, the range of the cannon is limited due to the range and field of vision, and the strike range of the pirate fighter is any place within the radius of its range.

In the history of the Old World, the longest-range artillery in combat was the famous Paris cannon, which could project shells up to 12o kilometers away, but unfortunately there was no accuracy at all. The Paris artillery has achieved very little success in actual combat operations, and is more like a psychological warfare weapon, threatening the other side that I can hit your home with one shot. Iraq during the reign of Silly Damu accepted the artillery program, and as a result, the instigators of the plan were assassinated as soon as the Mossad began to act, leaving a mess behind, which does not seem to be used to justify the course of the giant cannon, only the Bald Eagle's future electromagnetic cannon plan seems to be impressive.

Aircraft are not the same as artillery, and as the performance of old world warplanes continues to improve, what was originally a dragonfly-like gadget made of wood and canvas is expected to become a strategic strike weapon, and may even evolve into a 24-hour global strike force.

If you understand this, you can know why Luo Zhengdao took great pains to explode the air force technology, and he couldn't fight with the goblins to explode the equipment, so he could only work hard to get it back in terms of quality, which was also the helplessness of the poor!

Just experienced a rare thrilling scene in his life, watching the bombs dropped by the pirate fighter plane blow up one building after another in front of his eyes, and the business group association with a bad heart was paralyzed for a long time, as soon as he saw the cronies who went to listen to the news, he quickly took the other party's hand and asked eagerly:

"How's it going?"

"Your Excellency, the losses are heavy, and the four batteries at the front of the port have been ......"

Once born and twice cooked, it is not the first time that Will Needham, a famous pirate nobleman, has come to Xiangjiang to slaughter fat pigs, although he knows that he is not the core figure in the pirate alliance, the elder still thinks that it is better to deal with this earl, and the other party has to take care of the dignity of the nobles, compared with those poor pirates, his promise is obviously more credible.

When he thought of this, the head of the Chamber of Commerce panted and said in a loud voice:

"Quick! Fast! Fly the white flag! We asked for negotiations with the pirates, and we started negotiations immediately. ”

Although they can be called the most vicious, but after all, the pirates are not professional killers who buy people's lives, they kill people and set fires is not the fundamental purpose, the reason why they want to fight is because the robbery object has fierce resistance, if the other party decides to surrender and take the initiative to hand over the property, then the pirates are also happy to accept bloodless loot. The extreme act of not accepting surrender only to take out the target of the robbery is very rare, and unless the black flag of the pirate is raised in advance, which represents the immortality of the pirate, then fighting and killing are certainly not the answer of the pirates.

"Uh, was the air raid show I arranged too successful?"

Not long after, after receiving the latest news that the merchant group united in the hope of starting negotiations, Luo Zhengdao couldn't help but feel entangled, these guys' fighting spirit was too unfirm, he just rehearsed the air raid tactics You just knelt and licked it, there is no live demonstration as evidence, isn't the plan to sell the plane to be in vain?

Yaling Overseer didn't know what Luo Zhengdao was thinking in his heart, she looked at the note Luo Zhengdao held in his hand, and said:

"These businessmen succumbed so quickly? There won't be any intentions, right? ”

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao laughed, he also hoped that the merchant group could show that he had more backbone, but it seemed that these businessmen were indeed not soldiers to fight. Immediately, he shook his head, as if to regret that his perfect plan had not been carried out smoothly.

"Lord Earl, the ship of the merchant group has arrived."

Hearing the reminder of his subordinates, Luo Zhengdao didn't say anything, his eyes flickered and his eyes narrowed, so that people knew at a glance that he didn't hold back any kindness.

Climbed up the rope ladder onto the battleship Avenger, the merchant group and the group acted very restrained, and the round-faced middle-aged man who took the lead smiled very professionally, nodded and said:

"I'm the negotiator of the trade union, and so are these two."

Merchants dealt with pirates quite frequently, and under normal circumstances, pirates only looted cash and goods from ships, and did not go on a killing spree when they did not encounter stubborn resistance, and whether the captives would be pulled into slavery was another matter.

The ironclad ship is currently classified equipment, considering the construction cost of the pit father, Luo Zhengdao also died of the mind of peddling to the outside world, of course, he will not allow the merchant group to unite this half of the enemy to board his own capital ship, so the Avenger was reactivated as the flagship, anyway, this pure-blooded Yaling fifth-class battleship sells very well, no matter how you say it, there will be no suspicion of falling shares. The negotiators were escorted all the way by the pirate sailors to the meeting room full of exquisite art in the Yaling style, where Luo Zhengdao had been waiting for a long time, and several other pirate leaders who had arrived earlier were also here.

At this time, one after another either cold or cold eyes fell on the three negotiators, and several of them couldn't help but shrink their heads, this atmosphere is really scary!

"You may be seated! We have limited time, this is the armistice conditions issued by our side, you can go back and report after reading it, and prepare to implement it accordingly! ”

The person who stood up to preside over the negotiation was Gaude Needham, on the one hand, because his burly figure and facial majesty were extremely oppressive, and it was easy to make the negotiation opponent fearful, and on the other hand, Luo Zhengdao felt that he was a little out of the limelight this time. Even if no one expressed this idea to him in person, he still thought that it was his duty to keep a low profile, and the opportunity to be in the limelight was left to others, so Luo Zhengdao pushed out all the things that were negotiated, and he was only a spectator.

Seeing this, the three representatives of the merchant group trembled and took the parchment from Gaode's hand, and they read the conditions issued by the pirates one by one with wide eyes. After a while, the faces of several people all collapsed, it was really a burst of red and a burst of white!

Not only was this condition extremely harsh, but it was also severe, and the pirate coalition demanded that the port of Xiangjiang hand over a million gold Plantagenets, or the equivalent of hard currency, for military expenses. In addition, the trade union had to provide the pirates with 3,000 horses of magic cloth, 8,000 barrels of cured beef and pork, 4,000 barrels of beer, 2,500 barrels of rum, 2,000,000 pounds of flour and wheat, oats, barley and sausages, fresh eggs, live poultry, vegetables, and fruits, and the rest of the bits and pieces of articles that filled a whole page of Wick Reef paper.

The three negotiators whispered that if they took this thing back and reported it, they would have to be cut off as pirates, so the round-faced middle-aged man bargained with Gauder Needham and said:

"Hehehehe, these terms are negotiable, right?"

Hearing this, Gao De glared, and snorted coldly in an unusually strong tone:

"No, there is no negotiation, you can only choose to accept or reject, choose one for yourself! Remember, if we refuse our terms, it means that many people will have to die. ”

Hearing such strong and domineering words, several negotiators broke out in a cold sweat, is this a prelude to immediately turning their faces and slashing people? They whispered a few more words, and said tentatively to Gao De:

"Please allow us to return to shore with the paperwork, it's not a big deal for us to decide."

"Yes, please do your best to make a decision, our people are impatient."

Seeing several negotiators turn around and leave in a hurry, Luo Zhengdao looked at Gauder Needham with a smile and said in a gag:

"Your Excellency Gao De, aren't you afraid that the merchant group will jointly reject these conditions? Maybe they really can't take it out. ”

Hearing Luo Zhengdao's jokes, Gao De laughed loudly, shook his head and said:

"Hahahaha, Your Excellency the Earl, you underestimate these unscrupulous merchants, their ability to squeeze the poor and accumulate wealth is much faster than ours to rob with knives."

Regarding the theory that soft knives kill people more ruthlessly, Luo Zhengdao, who has majored in two major courses in economics and politics, will certainly not express doubts, let alone underestimate the ability of businessmen to absorb money and the black heart without a lower limit.

In the old world, those financial fat cats on Wall Street took advantage of the loopholes in the system to make themselves almost unable to walk, even when the financial crisis came, they immediately cried and shouted that they were going to go out of business, and cheekily went to the Bald Eagle government to ask for money to bail out. Even if the situation is so bad, they still don't forget to get a handful of benefits for themselves, and the executives of many financial institutions have more bonuses of tens of millions of dollars at the end of the year, I really don't know if this money is rewarding them for being shameless enough or cheap enough, and sure enough, the world is thick-skinned people who can't eat enough!

If the former example epitomizes the greedy nature of capitalism, the latter example is even more exaggerated and maddening.

In a strange exhibition, a large country has accumulated commercial housing with a civil construction cost of no more than 2,000 soft coins, land bidding, auction and additional taxes, as well as various gray administrative costs that are not clear about the specific amount, and successfully turned ordinary houses into luxury goods.

In just over a decade, this approach has successfully robbed the entire country of the wealth accumulated by the grassroots for generations, and saddled them with huge debts that need to be repaid for decades. Later, because they felt that the money was not enough, some people simply proposed to collect real estate tax from the private sector to supplement local financial resources, on the grounds that both Europe and the United States levy real estate tax, so we also have to collect it.

Why don't these bastards who pretend to be confused say that the house itself will not appreciate but only depreciate, and the appreciation of the land where the house is located is the fundamental reason for the rise in housing prices.

People's houses and land are privately owned, and the collection of real estate tax is actually a collection of land value-added parts, and no matter how much is levied, it can make sense in reason. A large country with special characteristics is the state-owned land, and it only has the right to use land for 70 years, and it is up to the state to decide how to renew the lease at that time. It is equivalent to the landlord renting the land to the tenant for cultivation, and the value of the land has appreciated, and the landlord dares to ask the tenant to pay for the increase in the value of the land. This land is not tenants', and no matter how much it has to do with the tenants? This kind of ridiculous theory is a classic case of pit to fly!
