"In this world, as long as anyone needs a medium to communicate, that is, the information asymmetry of information exchange, there will inevitably be deception, from the mother deceiving the child that the injection does not hurt, to the husband and I work overtime tonight, it is all like this, as long as the information is asymmetric, deceiving you is worthy of you."

"You see, this kind of deception is actually not new, it is nothing more than taking advantage of the people's blind obedience to the government, or their own inner greed, so they are blinded by some things that seem ridiculous to sober people, for example, the Water Cube is an ordinary tourist attraction, in fact, anyone can enter and exit, but after being given some political significance by the bad guys, it is not just a sports hall, but a symbol of government support."

Li waved his hand forward and said, "Okay, these things have been solved, but how did I hear that Xu Hao has another peach dispute over there." ”

"What! Aren't all men on the boat, this kid's taste is getting more and more weird, grandma's, really. ”

No matter how Wang Jian sounded, he was greatly dissatisfied.

"It's not like that, there's a Portuguese chick soaking him, it's not a bubble, chasing behind him every day, damn, it's also crossed, why is he so sexy, is it really so cool to run outside."

When Li Xiangqian spoke, he was also related, even in the 21st century, the market of middle-aged men is much better than before, but the best among the foreign girls is also rare, the sunbathing they love, meat-based, overexposed, and nightclubs, are all big killers to shorten puberty, after the age of 30, as long as you don't take care of it, skin folds, and natural enemies with large pores will appear.

In a word, the best foreign girl is really hard to find.

Xu Hao was also in a dilemma, he thought with his toes, suddenly, a woman next to the Portuguese nobleman, it is said that she was the daughter of an officer who had fought to death with pirates on that hijacked ship, although her father had just died, but she was plucking up the spirit to chase men, but thinking of the mortality rate of seafarers in this era, you can be relieved, but its utilitarian purpose also makes Xu Hao dislike, in essence, although it is also a successful person in society, but, in the original logic, that group of people practiced, The guys who are good at relationships are different, and the people on the spaceship are basically very ordinary, just like Xu Hao, a guy with low emotional intelligence, is a model.

He was shy, but he still did things, and looked cool, and at the same time, after confirming that it was impossible to encourage the crew to rebel and take refuge in himself, Enrique showed the cunning of a nobleman, became polite, and appeared from time to time with his two daughters, yes, in addition to his daughter Eliza, he also recognized Jasmine, who had sacrificed his father, as his goddaughter, and it was also a pleasure.

According to what Li Xiangqian said, if they look at it differently because of the so-called aristocratic class that the other party put out, then it will inevitably lead to climbing down the pole, and a little knight is hanging like this, so will they not make a fuss when they see their king?

In later generations, there is a very clear concept of diplomacy between countries, reciprocal diplomacy, that is, how you entertain me, I will treat your people, if the other party is just a small nobleman, it seems that there is no need to be too preferential, of course, buying and selling is not benevolent, Enrique pretended to be generous, and after sending a bunch of gifts, Xu Hao also understood the true meaning of reciprocal diplomacy, and changed the cabin for them, so they didn't have to huddle together with civilians.

Of course, Enrique wanted to show the greatness of Portugal by following the rules, and trying to make this barbarian's efforts to worship him basically useless, but Xu Hao kept hitting him.

"Now the evidence suggests that before the operation, these pirates did get the word and knew where you were, um, but the leader who commanded and controlled them didn't seem to be on the ship, but went somewhere else, but, a very clear chain of evidence is that it was a guy with a British accent who hired them, well, at least that's what the pirates said."

Most of the time, Xu Hao prefers to communicate with people at the dinner table, at least when he was in Liaodong, that's what he did, the benefits are obvious, not to mention the need to get closer, at the dining table, people want to eat, and it is inevitable that part of the energy that was originally used to hide their emotions will be used to eat alone, which can see through a lot of things.

This point, he was taught by Li Xiangqian, and he was also studying the thinking of these nobles, no matter what, these people will be the great enemies of the elders in the future, but they are not people who can be dealt with and killed at will, the best way is to deal with them secretly.

Enrique's expression was not very good, and he said, "Thank you, I think I can already confirm it." ”

Mei Qianzhi was naturally on the side, helping to translate at any time, but she still spoke out to appease Enrique.

"Thank you." This sentence is in Chinese, and Jasmine and Eliza have studied Chinese with the priest, and although the accent is not standard at this time, they can already say a few simple words.

During this era, Europeans developed a very effective linguistics, and these priests and explorers were trained to learn how to quickly communicate with the natives who did not speak the language.

Xu Hao is not disgusted by this, he has recently learned simple language, his personal positioning is to open the door, so there is no need to have too deep communication, just keep presence.

"I don't have to say thank you, but there are some interesting places, such as the pirates who also argued, the man with a British accent, tell them not to kill, but to send you to the British stronghold in India, Calcutta, well, it's a mess anyway, so I'm more strange, this kind of behavior is illegal in Europe."

In this era, there were so-called legal smuggling of ships by European governments, the so-called legal, that is, protected by the state, allowing a certain captain to rob the sea ships of a certain country at a specific time and in a specific area, but the regulations were very anti-locked, and the ships could not be slaughtered, and a Dutch merchant's goods were stolen in Germany, and he could not obtain compensation for his losses by legal or diplomatic means, he could get a privateer license authorized by the Dutch government, which allowed him to capture German merchant ships to compensate for his losses.

However, the ship must be sent back to the Admiralty of the home country for registration and various legal confirmations, which is the act of taking off its pants and farting.

Enrique gritted his teeth and said: "But we are not at war with Britain, and this matter is transmitted back to Europe, is this to force Portugal to declare war?" ”

Looking at Enrique's expression, Xu Hao didn't think so.

This era can be said to be the most chaotic moment in human history, and in the 21st century, although the five hooligans of the United Nations are chicken feathers and duck blood, but in the general direction, they still maintain the general stability of human society, but at this time.

Let's talk about India, the bloodsucking place that is most valued by whites, is the establishment of the East India Company, the main economic income of the country is bet on the Indians, there are the British East India Company, the Dutch East India Company, Sweden and Denmark also have their own East India Company, nominally a company, but these East India Companies all obtained trade monopoly from their own government, and had an army, a fleet, established government institutions in the colonies, and carried out brutal political rule, economic plunder, and even the slave trade on the colonies. Drugs of the military, political and economic colonial institutions.

It can be said that all the bad things have been done, and the ones that have really gained a foothold in India are British India, French India, and Portuguese India, although the three countries are intriguing with each other, but they occasionally cooperate with each other.

Of course, in this era, the French have not yet come out of the shackles of the European continent, so this era is still dominated by British India and Portuguese India.

Xu Hao's next stop was to throw Enrique and others to Goa, the base camp of Portuguese India.

Looking at these people and foreigners were very excited, Xu Hao was also silent, and suddenly said: "Actually, for your problems, although we are outsiders, we also know some, there are rumors that the British and the Dutch have become more and more hostile to each other recently, well, mainly the hatred between the various big businessmen of the middle class and the big shipowners, however, it is spreading more and more to the upper class, if there is a problem, I am afraid that the Netherlands and Britain are going to break out a naval war, if at this time, your country has a tendency, I'm afraid it will change the course of the war. ”

Enrique listened to the translation, frowned, and said, "You mean, maybe the Dutch are playing tricks behind our backs to drive a wedge between us and the British, so as to stir up trouble and gain benefits?" ”

Xu Hao shrugged his shoulders and said, "What is the truth, does it matter?" ”

Enrique was speechless for a while, and asked, "You mean?" ”

Xu Hao said: "There may be 10,000 possibilities for the truth, maybe it is an accident, the pirates seduced an ordinary Englishman to help them spy on the location of your ship, and at the same time, the pirate leader ordered his subordinates to release you in British India, it is just a habit, well, but the biggest question is, what does your government want to believe." ”

That's right, even if it is confirmed that it is the Dutch who are behind the trouble, but for their own interests, there are not a few who swallow their anger, let alone Portugal, which has just gained independence.

Looking at Enrique's pale face, Xu Hao continued: "There is also a possibility that the British deliberately did this and blamed the Dutch. ”

Xu Hao complained silently in his mind, with the complexity of Europeans in this era, it can be said that anyone can plan to rob the ship of this person in front of him, and it is almost impossible to find out the truth, besides, with the truth, he may not do anything.

The truth is always the least valuable thing.

Even in the 21st century, in some groups, the truth is only what they believe, and even in the incident caused by a long bridge outside the imperial capital, the Chinese army dared not open the city gate and let noble foreigners enter the city to search, it is clear that there is a ghost in their hearts, and this kind of argument can actually be circulated among certain forces in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

The truth doesn't matter at all.

Sure enough, for Enrique, after thinking about this matter, he naturally became much more sober, realizing that he was attacked, which might involve infighting in Europe, so he naturally did not want to show his stuff in front of Xu Hao, an outsider, and at the same time he was also panicked, he was just a small nobleman, and he had not studied the cooperation between European countries, so it was really difficult to question anything.

Xu Hao naturally understands the mentality of the person in front of him, in fact, it is very simple, national interests are important, or personal interests are important, in history, how many people sacrificed their own interests for the benefit of the country?

Enrique is afraid that he has to think about it carefully, now that his ship has been destroyed, a large number of belongings have either been destroyed or fallen into the hands of "pirates", and many people have died, how to go back to make a mistake, how to turn bad things into good things, and maintain the continuation of family interests, is the focus of his concern.

Because, the aristocracy who does not know how to safeguard their own interests before the interests of the country, and the aristocrats who do not know how to turn bad things into good things, have long been swept away in countless political and military turmoil.

Xu Hao grasped this kind of psychological thinking, but he was even more proud, he was like this, didn't it mean that he was more worthy of the position of a senior than the original reckless young man.

Of course, the original young boy was also killed.

Enrique lowered his head, and suddenly said with a smile: "I heard that you were originally a military commander in the north of your country, and you have any goals for this trip to Europe, do you need my help from it?" ”

Xu Hao smiled and said: "No need, I'll just let you go in Goa, of course, since we don't interfere with the neutrality principle of the Europeans' internal fighting, so before that, those pirates will also be released, of course, after this matter, they will become benefactors, which is also a good thing." ”

Enrique knew this, knew that there was no way to change it, and suddenly said: "Then, can we be allowed to take your ship and return to our hometown, I can pay you enough to cover the cost of the boat and food." ”

Xu Hao was embarrassed, the itinerary he chose before, to go to the UK first, had far-reaching considerations.

Their diplomatic choice is to learn from the Americans during World War I and World War II in history, under the banner of external neutrality, selling weapons at both ends and giving all kinds of commercial loans, and the most terrible thing is that they split themselves into two groups of people, betting on both ends, in fact, both ends are the same mind.

Before World War II, a large number of loans were made to the Germans, almost re-arming the Germans, and it was through this that the war in Europe caused a large number of wealthy classes, scientists, and high-quality talents to flow to the United States, making the United States a real hegemon.

There are many complicated considerations here, the elders will not understand, but the trick of selling weapons and strategic materials at both ends and making our own money is the best.

It's good to go to England first, Britain itself is in a civil war, and you can start on both sides without showing an attitude, and at the same time stay in the safer British Isles, sit and watch the battle on the European continent, and at the same time find a way to contact the news.
