For this reason, the Far East Fleet of the kingdom should have taken the main responsibility, but they turned a blind eye and left him Hagers here, not only regardless of his life or death, but even used him as a scapegoat.

"So, you still have eight merchant ships under your command that are directly under your command, armed with hundreds of crew members?" Gao Han expressed his understanding of Hagers's grievances, and if anyone was put on such a table, suffering in the front, but in the back was his own people seeking to seize his own property, everyone would have resentment.

"This is a must!" Hagers said proudly, "The captain and first mate of my fleet are all old men who have served in my family's fleet for many years, and there is absolutely no problem with loyalty, but the sailors and captains of these ships that expanded later, all came to me later, so Colin was given a chance!" ”

"You're not trying me to take back your lost merchant ship from that Colin!" Gao Han squinted at each other, not underestimating the intelligence of his buddy.

"Of course not!" "Once I'm free, I'll go to Colin myself to get this account, and I'll make up for my ransom with two other merchant ships!" ”

"But!" "I'm just promising the boat, and about the crew, it's still my family's people!" ”

"I don't dare to use it if you stay, if I run back to you with the boat one day!" Gao Han shook his head: "Don't worry, my words count, as long as you don't make enemies of my Daming, how you toss is your business, I am not interested, but if you and your Far Eastern Fleet, which depends on me, covet my Daming, I am very interested in taking you prisoner again on the battlefield!" ”

"General Gao said he laughed!" Haggs smiled awkwardly: "I'm just a businessman, even if our respective empires go to war in the future, it won't affect my personal friendship with General Gao, isn't it, the purpose of a businessman is to make money, make a lot of money!" Something else, I'm not interested! ”

"Not interested, that's a good thing!" Gao Han smiled at Hagers, and suddenly he felt that this guy seemed to be an object that could be united, at least, he now knew that the so-called Victor Chamber of Commerce was also at odds within.

And the Portuguese Far East Fleet, which came from afar, dared to come to the East unscrupulously, and the biggest reliance was not the huge "leading party" of the Victor Chamber of Commerce, otherwise, it would be an extremely painful thing for them to fight the world by themselves.

I'm afraid that just supplies and maintenance and other things will cost them a lot of resources and energy, not to mention, without a stable base, how can they talk about expansion.

"Speaking of which, you are also affected by your Far East Fleet in this matter!" Gao Han pretended to sigh: "In the territory of the Ming Empire, outsiders act wantonly, resist arrest, and after being sanctioned, they dare to ignore the laws of the Ming Empire, trying to storm the government and rob the prison, these crimes, again, you can't escape, you are fortunate to meet me with this kind heart, if it is someone else, I am afraid that you Higgs, you have died many times!" ”

"It's my luck!" Hagers was also afraid for a while, in the days of solitary confinement, he had thought about the outcome of this matter countless times, and the result was that unless the Victor Chamber of Commerce did not get involved in the events of that night, otherwise, the forces that had been operating in Hao Jing Ao for many years would be wiped out at one time, which was inevitable.

The Ming Empire seems to have never tolerated this kind of thing that provokes their authority, and the people of this empire sometimes don't care about being particularly easy to speak, but once they take care of what they think is the kind of "face" thing, it is simply a retribution.

"It seems that these fleets under your command have never been to Ho Jing O these days, except for this one!"

Gao Han suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked casually: "When you were interrogating those of your subordinates, it seemed that the time you stayed in Hao Jing Ao every year was only a few months, and at other times, where were you?" ”

Hagers smiled slightly, and he was not afraid to show a little of his strength in front of Gao Han.

"Ho Kiang O is very important to me, but there are other places that are also very important, such as Nagasaki, such as Da Nang!"

"Oh!" Gao Han sighed, sure enough, this guy is in Nagasaki or Da Nang, and he has his own territory, this kind of thing of not putting his eggs in one basket is in line with the consistent tradition of his Higers family.

"If you have the chance, I'd like to go to Nagasaki or Da Nang!"

Gao Han seemed to say it casually, but when he heard this, it was a different flavor in Hagers's ears, and he smacked it for a long time before he was sure that the other party was really just saying it casually, not making any threat to himself.

"I am a businessman, I emphasize again, I am a businessman, how to make more wealth is my pursuit!" He said frankly: "I admit that I also have selfish intentions, and I hope that I can get the support of our kingdom's navy, but if this support not only makes me unable to earn enough wealth, but even makes me lose money or even go bankrupt, I would rather not have this kind of support!" ”

"Well, you've said that!" Gao Han nodded.

"I hope to reopen the office of the Victor Chamber of Commerce in Ho Kiang O!" As soon as Hagers spoke, he immediately looked at Gao Han's face, he had two sets of cases in his heart, no matter whether Gao Han agreed or not, he could come up with a plan to deal with it.

"Do business, or liaise with the office, or pass on information for your Far Eastern fleet?" Gao Han looked at the other party with a smile: "Do you think I will agree to your request?" ”

The Oriental was so cunning that he kicked the ball to himself again, and Hagus muttered in his heart, helplessly speaking.

"Business, just for business!" He looked at Gao Han very "sincerely": "As the Ming Empire's overseas trade window, I lost this window, the loss for me is too great, the Ming Dynasty's tea, sugar, silk, porcelain, and all kinds of exquisite works of art, these are things that I can't get elsewhere, if I lose this window, my trade volume will drop by at least seventy!" ”

He said very frankly: "If I earn less wealth, less fleet under my command, less wealth handed over to the Chamber of Commerce, then, soon, I will have to be transferred back to Lisbon because of my incompetence, and it is likely that Colin, General Gao, you don't want such an insatiable guy to run wild in the waters of your empire!" ”

"Also, your firearms factory, I heard that there is a need for a large amount of high-quality coal and iron, which my fleet can fully supply, and even we can cooperate, in Nagasaki, in Da Nang, and even in North Korea, North Korea can't, there are too many barbarians there, open a few more firearms factories in these places!"
