Well, the group of sailors finally turned the topic aside.

From time to time, however, the conversation will turn back, and if you're interested in having another drink with the sailor, he'll tell you about the Australians' weapons.

Especially the sailors from the Casa Princess.

...... Sir, their cannons fire a *** shot in a few breaths, ten times faster than the fast guns of the Dutch!

Not only that, but their shells can easily fly up to a mile away!

Dear Sir, for the sake of the tequila you have invited me, I will tell you another secret, that the Australian ship has a firearm that breathes faster than a man...... Once launched...... God forbid, that's simply ...... It's horrible......

Yes, you heard that right, their ships move without sails or oars, why? Who knows? Maybe it's magic......

You can, of course, not believe it, but I believe it because it's what I've seen with my own eyes......

What do I think is the ship of the Australians? It doesn't matter, what matters is that the Australians did show up and save us, and I think the Australians will definitely do magic!

No, no, no! Australians are not heretics or devils, they are very kind people, they give us good food, they heal us and heal our wounds, and they provide us with tools to repair our ships, and judging by their attitude and behavior towards us, I firmly do not consider them to be wizards......

Yes, I swear by this in the name of the naval officer of His Majesty the King of Portugal, and I am not telling you half a word......

As a result, all kinds of magical rumors about Australians circulated in the streets of Macau City, and Pimont also gave speeches about Australians, including several lunches with Australians.

To this end, he also wrote several lengthy reports, which were sent to the Governor of Macau, the Board of Directors of the Portuguese East India Company in Goa, and the Portuguese Court in Lisbon.

Pimont declares that because I have strong allies, you should have confidence in my quest to recover Timor, gentlemen, and your investment will not be in vain!

In a word, in the name of God on earth, with your wisdom, ladies and gentlemen, please be generous!

Yet the ladies and gentlemen were still skeptical, and none of them were generous, and despite the large audience and enthusiastic response to Pimont's speeches, everyone was silent when it came to donating money and investments.

Although few people think that what Pimont said is false, because it is very difficult to get the whole two boatloads of people to maintain the same voice as Pimont, so as to defraud everyone's investment, Macau's high society is not so easy to deceiver.

And everyone also believes that Pimont himself is certainly not a liar, and everyone agrees on this, but seeing is believing and hearing is false.

After all, what Pimont, his colleagues, and the sailors described was truly unbelievable, and could it really be believed?

So the people once cautiously and tentatively asked the Governor of Pimont, will the Australian friend you mentioned come to Macau?

Of course no problem, their captain told me personally, not long after!

Well, since you have said so, then, we sincerely hope that your friends will come to visit Macau, and good luck......

Pimont certainly knows the meaning behind this sentence---- when you meet the amazing Australians you are talking about, let's talk about the assistance you have again.

And now, the Australians have really arrived!

At nine o'clock this morning, Pimont's letter was halfway through when it was interrupted by the bells of the church of the Notre Dame de la Snowfield on Battery Hill, and Pimont got up irritably, left the table and went to the window.

His apartment is halfway up Fortress Hill, where the view is good, and the window looks out of the window at the confluence of the azure South China Sea and the tawny Xijiang River.

This time was no exception, however, when his eyes fell on the sea and sky, a blue sail caught his eye.

Pimont rubbed her eyes and looked closely, not bad! That's not an illusion! The blue and white stripes and the red and blue livery, the slender hull, there is no second ship in this world that is the same!

Yes, it's the blue boat shadow that Pimont will never forget!

Pride!

My God!

It's really the Pride!

At this moment Pimont had forgotten all his troubles, at this moment he was surging with emotion in his heart, he suddenly shouted at the sea, his tears could no longer be controlled, he trembled with excitement, he howled like a lonely wolf on a full moon night, and as a result frightened the maid who was cleaning next door, thinking that this elegant gentleman had been like two people since he had returned from overseas, and now he was howling as if no one was around, alas...... Poor Governor, he is so young......

At this moment, the maid subconsciously drew a cross on her chest......

"Dear Xu! God forbid, I've finally waited for you! ”

As soon as Pimont stepped on the deck of the Pride, he gave Xu Zhi a warm bear hug to greet him, Xu Zhi had long been accustomed to this kind of etiquette, and he responded enthusiastically with a bear hug.

Then there was Li Sanduo, and then Zhu Beiguo, the deck became very lively, and after a while, there was a warm greeting echoing on the deck, and it turned out that Captain Phillips was also on the Pride as the Governor's entourage.

Pimont then followed Lawyer Li to a bear hug, which was great! It's full of acquaintances!

Obviously, Captain Phillips has more acquaintances, and it also inspires a bigger noise, his loud voice sounded on the deck of the Pride, I saw this captain hugging people everywhere and touching his face, looking at this situation, Xu Zhi had to hurry up and grab Pimont, who was going to continue to bear hugs - his acquaintances on the Pride were on par with Phillips, and he didn't know when it would be over.

Xu Zhi said to Pimont, the Nicole is not far away, if it is convenient, please go to the Nicole, because with the ship comes our Supreme Executive Committee Chairman Sun Lao.

Uh, what is the Chairman of the Supreme Executive Council?

"Uh...... This chairman is akin to the speaker of a parliament, or to the chairmanship of a company's board of directors......"

So Xu Zhi explained to Pimont for a long time the management system of the Australian Federation, and finally made him understand a little bit, it seems that the way Australians make decisions, operate and manage business is somewhat similar to that of Portuguese and Indian companies, but they are very different.

However, Pimont, who is well-educated, has a relatively high comprehension, and he immediately keenly grasped the point, Pimont muttered for a moment and responded to Xu Zhi and said, Your management system is similar to the free city-states of Europe, a little more like the ancient Republic of Venice and Genoa, and a little closer to the Netherlands United Provinces Republic in the Netherlands.

Xu Zhi nodded in agreement with Pimont's view, but stressed that the only difference between the Australian Federation and these republics is that we pay more attention to free trade, resolutely oppose mercantilism and trade protectionism, advocate multilateral win-win and diversification, and resolutely oppose unilateralism and trade barriers......

For Xu Zhi's further elaboration, the keen Pimont listened very carefully.

“...... Dear Mr. President, Dear Mr. Captain, it is my pleasure to meet you on this occasion! ”

Half an hour later, in a makeshift pergola on the foredeck of the Nicole, Pimont gave Elder Sun and Captain Gu an elegant aristocratic hat-off bow.

This made Sun and Old Gu Jin not know how to return the salute for a while, so they had to respond with the Chinese fist salute, and then said together that they were fortunate and lucky.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Lao made a gesture of please, and asked Pimont and his entourage to sit on the chairs of the pergola, and he and Gu Jin, Zhu Beiguo, Xu Zhi and others also sat down one after another, and then the crew brought a glass plate with several glass cups on it, which contained diluted tomato juice drink......
