"Oh?! Yes, I seem to have tasted the taste of pepper and peppercorns, isn't this an Indian spice...... Well, and the cloves ......"

Pimont savored it as she slipped a slice of ham sausage into her mouth.

"Mr. Captain, if you take this food as a trade commodity, you will surely make a fortune! To be sure, spices are key. ”

Pimont commented as she ate.

"Yes, Mr. Governor is really insightful, the key to this is a compound spice - five-spice powder, may I ask Mr. Governor, what if we sell five-spice powder to India, Arabia, Europe and America? What do the gentlemen think? ”

At this time, Zhu Beiguo interjected beside him.

"Oh my God...... God forbid, we are talking about a topic that can turn the world trade pattern upside down! The...... Mr. Zhu, I am willing to work for this matter! Oh no, I shouldn't have said such hypocrisy, I mean let's get rich together, and to hell with the Dutch monopoly! Hahahaha...... Yes, I'm going to issue a concession ......"

At this time, Pimont became more and more excited, and when he said this, he couldn't help but get up from his chair and start walking back and forth in front of the table, with an excited face.

So Li Sanduo looked at Zhu Beiguo and Pimont and laughed like this, obviously telling Zhu Beiguo, this person is the same as you, and when it comes to excitement, he will leave his seat and take steps.

"Your Lord, you haven't finished your food yet......

At this time, Captain Phillips finally drank a large bowl of bacon and radish soup, and stuffed the last piece of bacon in the soup basin into his mouth, and began to look a little unbearable at the gaffe of the Governor.

"Please sit down to eat, your behavior seems to be a little out of step with your usual graceful manners......"

Before Captain Phillips could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Pimont:

"Austen! We have to leave quickly, we have to go back to Macao as soon as possible, and I have to recruit another thousand soldiers, there are many refugees from the mainland......"

Pimont quickly said this in Portuguese, and suddenly realized that it was a faux pas to speak Portuguese that no one else understood on this occasion, so Pimont patted himself on the head with a little annoyance:

"Oh, it looks like I'm so excited, I'm a little out of breath......"

So Pimont returned to his seat, changed to French, and said to Li Sanduo in a earnest tone:

"I'm sorry Mr. Captain, please forgive me for my gaffe and faux pas, I'm just excited, don't you care?"

"Mr. Governor, what did you just say? Does it have anything to do with the five-spice powder topic I just mentioned? ”

Li Sanduo listened to Xu Zhi's translation while refilling the bowl of the two of them, and then smiled disappretently, of course Li Sanduo was most concerned about the five-spice powder trade, not only him, but everyone on the Pride knew that in the new world, if there is an ally of a community of interests, it is of great significance to open the door to the new world trade, at least, there will be a lot less resistance.

"Yes, Mr. Captain, that's what I'm talking about...... five-spice powder, which will break the Dutch monopoly on spice trade, will change the pattern of world trade......"

Woo---- woo, woo----

Several loud noises came from the distant sea, and the sound was strong and rough, like the resonance of hundreds of horns.

Pimont and Captain Phillips were so frightened by the sudden sound that they almost choked on the turnip soup. They looked out of the porthole at the sea, and saw a large figure in the fog in the distance.

"Is it a hill?"

"Is it an island?"

But why does this massive figure seem to be moving?

"Oh God! It's a boat! It's moving! Huge to unbeatable ship! ”

At this time, whether it was on the beach, or on the Dawn and Casa Princess, the sailors lost their voices and shouted.

Compared to the strange ship just now, this is a hill moving on the sea? Or the city walls?

In short, it is a giant existence!

Well, when the fog gradually cleared, everyone had to admit that it was indeed a boat, and it was also a big ship that could sail without sails and oars!

In the eyes of the sailors, the architecture of the Big Mac was different, and the only thing that seemed to be the same as the smaller monster ship was the chimney at the back of the ship---- which was belching smoke.

At this time, Pimont and Captain Phillips did not lose their voices, although they also wanted to shout something, in order to vent the great shock of being shocked by the heart.

The two looked out of the porthole and were stunned, and then subconsciously looked back at the Australians around them.

"Your Excellency the Governor, this is the Nicole, which belongs to the Australian Commonwealth, Mr. Gu Jin, the commander of our fleet and the captain of the Nicole, has invited you to board the ship, and our Commander hopes to meet you."

Xu Zhi's words brought Pimont and Captain Phillips back to reality from their shocked and ignorant state.

"That'...... That one...... Be...... Is it a ship? ”

Pimont pointed out the porthole, his eyes not taking off the surface of the sea outside the porthole. Through the mist, a huge light gray ship shadow appeared more and more obviously, and at this time, Pimont asked Xu Zhi with some inarticulateness.

"Of course, the ship, Nicole, belongs to the Australian Commonwealth."

"We're going to ...... Want...... On that ...... boats? ”

Pimont's speech was still in a state of disadvantage.

"Out of respect for the Portuguese Governor, Gu Jin, commander of the Australian Federal Combined Fleet and captain of the Nicole, invites you to visit the Nicole, and he wants to know about you."

"God willing...... The ship...... Your ships do not rely on sails and oars...... How is it navigated? ”

Pimont replied in disbelief.

"Dear Xu, you ...... Is there any magic in your hands? ”

As a person who runs the sea, Captain Phillips is relatively more straightforward, and he asked Xu Zhidao directly.

"It's not magic, it's science! If you are interested in this and are willing to become friends with us, you will learn about this later. ”

Xu Zhi responded to Captain Phillips with a smile.

"We're already friends...... Belch...... For God's sake, no! You are our benefactors, if you are ...... I feel infinitely honoured if the Commonwealth of Australia is willing to make friends with me......"

Pimont's demeanor finally calmed down a bit.

Thirty minutes later, Pimont and Captain Phillips finally stepped onto the front deck of the Nicole. At this moment, the two had completely forgotten how they had been half-supported and half-held hostage by a few sailors, and boarded the dinghy from the Pride, which was then lowered by the boom to the sea, and rowed to the side of the giant ship, which looked higher than the hill.

The huge hull blocked out the sunlight, making themselves and the dinghy as small as ants, and the most shocking thing was that when they pulled the handrail up a gangway that extended from the huge hull, they realized that the whole hull was not wooden - like the Pride, everything they came into contact with was steel!

In the fog, I don't know how many steps I have climbed, Pimont subconsciously looked back at the Pride, compared to the big ship in front of him, the Pride was like a lifeboat! Pimont felt a wave of dizziness and weakness in his legs, the boat was too big, too tall...... I seem to be a little afraid of heights...... Pimont suddenly remembered this physical weakness of hers.

However, the two handsome sailors beside him helped him a lot, allowing him to climb the stairs fairly normally.

This massive hull is indeed all iron! Pimont looked back and Captain Phillips to check each other's eyes, and the latter's eyes seemed to tremble slightly, except for a confusion in his eyes. Now, in a rare way, the captain showed a flushed face, and his mouth was nothing but God...... Oh...... My God...... I can't say the whole word at all.
