***************************************************************************)
At night in the South Seas, especially when it doesn't rain, under the sea breeze, you can watch the sunset slowly sink into the sea in the evening. After dinner, sitting in the open bar with a beer glass in hand and watching the sunset is a real pleasure for the women.
The Western women who were invited here to enjoy this beautiful scenery showed their expressions of fascination, just like the Chinese women.
Today, it is Yue Xiaofei's invitation to Governor Diman and the merchants and celebrities of Batavia. The sound of music above the open-air bar is also entirely Dutch.
The food, the drinks, the cutlery, the lights, everything stunned the Netherlands, who claim to be the most advanced in the world. If the last time they held a ball at the Governor's Palace, they were stunned by the products of the Free State of China, then tonight, everything exquisite at this time made him have a strong yearning for it.
However, as Diman, he was not as interested as them, because his mood was completely ruined by a suggestion made by Yue Xiaofei just now.
"Your Excellency, your advice has made me too ...... Too...... Feel incredible...... What a surprise! ”
Diman was indeed surprised by this suggestion, because Yue Xiaofei suggested that he consult with the Dutch naval officers, except for the battleships, the rest of the twenty or so cruisers should simply unload some cannons, engage in commercial transactions, and bring food and other supplies from India to Batavia.
"Do you think it's incredible?"
Yue Xiaofei took two cups of "Athena Elixir" from the hands of Mochizuki Ayano who was following him, handed a cup to Diman, and then touched it lightly, the words in his mouth seemed to complain that Diman's head was too slow.
"I said Brother Diman, don't you really think of it?"
Diman drank a glass of wine, and complained in his mouth, as if complaining that Yue Xiaofei didn't think about him: "You told me to give up my navy, but how can our safety be guaranteed?" Moreover, if the company finds out about this, it may be dismissed, and if the royal family finds out, it will probably send me to the gallows. ”
"No, they won't know! And with us here, you still worry about your safety, you have no confidence in us! ”
Unwilling to give up his useless Diman, he has no words! This stems from the "tactical exercise" conducted by the Shenzhou Navy and the Dutch Navy in Batavia after Yue Xiaofei dealt with those Indonesian pirates, and this exercise was conducted during the day today, and everyone on the "Mingyue" tonight was a visitor to the exercise.
The speed of the Huofeng-class cruisers and the power of their guns stunned the Dutchmen, who were experienced in self-adversity in navigation.
In particular, a salvo of a 150mm dart cannon had already made all the Dutch Navy realize that Holliman's pride came entirely from the strength behind him.
And the Shenzhou Army's misdeeds on Batavia City and nearby islands, under the protection of such naval strength, the officers of the Royal Dutch Navy have to admit that it is completely justified. Because whether in terms of the power of artillery fire or the speed of battleships, they are no longer opponents.
"Humph! We Chinese have an old saying, 'If you can't use things to the fullest, you're garbage!' And my advice to you is to convert the garbage you have into something that is beneficial to you, such as the things we want from India in these ships, and you will have a stockpile of industrial goods that we produce, knowing that this will make a good profit for both you and the commanders of the fleets! What do you think? Consider my suggestion! ”
Diman sipped the wine in his glass while considering Yue Xiaofei's suggestion.
"He's right, these warships are in the harbor now, it's useless! If it breaks, it still needs to be repaired, and the huge supplies they need have always been a burden on Batavia! ”
All these difficulties actually stem from the rise of the Shenzhou Free State, and it is precisely because of their rise that the materials from the east are almost zero, and the city of Batavia, which only relies on spice trading, is obviously much less profitable after less entrepot trade.
And if they go to India and exchange some luxury products (crystals, cigarettes, and wine from Shenzhou City) for a large amount of materials, and then exchange them with the industrial products of Shenzhou City, then they will be shipped to Europe in the future, then .......
"You know, since you're here for the first time, our merchants in Batavia aren't familiar with you personally. Of course, your ideas have made some sense to you, but that may not be enough! If we do this now, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Chamber of Commerce to approve such an action! ”
Yue Xiaofei laughed, and the laughter seemed to be teasing.
He shook his head, "If you want me to say, you don't have to pay attention to them at all, because they won't survive a day or two, and they will try to get out to sea, of course they will avoid the Strait of Malacca, but they will still run to India for me!" ”
"What?" Diman couldn't believe that Yue Xiaofei actually supported their East India Company's merchant ships parked here. You know, the shipowners and merchants are very greedy!
"Of course, because what I told them was that as long as they made a purchase from my list, I would pay them crystal cutlery, royal chandeliers, or cigars, cigarettes, wine, whatever we had, in exchange. Sir Governor, think about it, when these merchants return to Europe next year, they will be ...... when they bring up a shipload full of crystal products! And what do you have to gain, my Lord Doge? ”
A shipload of Athena, a shipload of cigarettes, cigars, or a shipload of all those strange things, if pulled back to Europe, what it would mean, this account Diman would still count.
Diman seemed to see that the merchants were returning to Europe laden with things that would make them rich, and that the people there would use large sums of gold to buy these things of great value.
His answer was a little sentimental, as if asking himself, "yes, what will I get?" ”
Looking at Diman's expression of being a little distracted because he didn't get more benefits, Yue Xiaofei's stomach smiled evilly! You must know that although the people who can leave their homes and sail the sea, although they are resolute and resolute, it cannot be denied that these people who sail the sea only need money, and it is as simple as that.
Otherwise, who would be crazy, the most powerful force in this cold and unforgiving nature because of idleness and boredom?
Sure enough, Diman muttered to himself as he poured all the wine in his hand into his mouth, "Yes, maybe I should try to talk to the Fleet Commander!" ”
