Xavi Alonso believes that there is a God in this world.

This faith had previously remained only in words, and in the depths of his heart, when the crowd was in trouble, he had deeply doubted it.

After all, as an entrepreneur in the modern population, he has put in efforts that others can't imagine, let alone achieve, but under the mistakes, his business still deteriorates, which makes his heart full of resentment and dissatisfaction.

Whenever that happens, Xavi Alonso will look up angrily and ask the sky, why did he work so hard, but still couldn't get the results he deserved, and had to endure such ups and downs?

His grandfather and father did just that, and they were even far less dedicated than him, but they were still quite successful.

Today's Pirnas Chamber of Commerce is ten times the size of a few decades ago, but it is still in a desperate predicament, and he has doubted God in his heart, or at least his justice.

But at this time, Harvey Alonso is convinced that God is loving and just - in his most desperate moment, a fleet of his own warfleet appeared on the southeast sea!

Look at their flags, in addition to the national flag, there is also the family coat of arms!

The emblem of the Hydra Sea Serpent is the fleet of the Grand Duke of Alfred!

Xavi Alonso's tears have not stopped since then. It was an irrepressible mixture of feelings, and the whole atrium was like a grinding plate, throwing all the mess and all kinds of feelings into it, mixing up such an indescribable, tear-jerking pile of emotions.

The cannon fire flew again, and most of them hit the pirate ships that approached their own fleet, and the pirates with red scarves suffered heavy losses almost immediately, and two small ships on the periphery could not dodge, as if they had been hit by the ammunition depot, and exploded under their own gaze!

The pirates above jumped into the sea and climbed onto other ships, but they still couldn't escape the fate of being surrounded and suppressed.

The flying cannon fire was like raindrops, and the pirate ships that hit them began to flee one by one with thick smoke and staggering.

Of course, it was inevitable, because their own fleet and the pirate fleet were so close that they were almost staggered. Some shells also hit the ship of the Pernas Chamber of Commerce, causing some damage.

Xavi Alonso's flagship took two shots! One of the cannons struck not far from his foothold, smashing a large hole in the deck the size of a mainmast, billowing with smoke!

But as the owner of the ship, Xavi Alonso did not have the slightest distress in his heart! He ran wildly towards the bullet hole, waving his hands frantically, hoping to summon more cannonballs to attack the pirates!

This is the deepest spiritual need of a desperate person, and under the extreme despair, he does not even think about his own damage, and he feels as if he has the crazy idea of "even if he can't live, he will take these pirates to the bottom of the sea to meet Poseidon".

But the guns of the Alfred family's fleet seemed to have been blessed by God, and the vast majority of the shells fell on the pirate's ships, which also made Harvey Alonso feel a deep sense of tension, and he had never been so excited in his life!

Seeing the pirate fleet swaying due south with thick smoke, Harvey Alonso even felt a little unfinished!

If you could do it again...... How nice that would be!

Thinking about it, a cold sea breeze blew away the scorching smoke and poured into his collar.

The cold wind stirred up the chill of Xavi Alonso, which suddenly sobered up the Admiral of the Spanish Merchant Marine and the owner of the Chamber of Commerce, who was still immersed in frenzy.

Looking at his devastated but unharmed fleet, and at the drifting pirate fleet to the south being chased by the Alfred family's fleet, his heart was filled with irrepressible pleasure for the rest of his life!

It's closer! The flagship of the Alfred family's fleet is approaching its own.

When the ships of both sides were side by side, a hitching board came over from the opposite side of the ship, and then in the deafening cheers of his own sailors, a heroic middle-aged man with a servant and bodyguard strode over the hitching board and came to himself!

It's actually Mr. Alfred Jr., the eldest son of the Alfred family! The excitement in Xavi Alonso's heart cannot be overstated!

Originally, the father of this gentleman held the position of Minister of War, and he was already an unattainable object, but now he has been transferred to the commander-in-chief of the Invincible Armada, and he is the parent of his own maritime trade.

Seeing little Alfred appear, Xavi Alonso's excited hands didn't know where to put them, so he could only walk up quickly and give a big salute excitedly: "Ah! Lord Alfred! Thank you for your help! I, Xavi Alonso de Pirnas, extend my sincerest thanks to you! ”

In his heart, he had already identified this encounter as a gift from God, and even the pirates seemed so cute, who knew if they were angels sent by God?

"You're welcome!" Little Alfred mingles in the upper social circles all day long, and it is natural to face such an upstart in the face of such an old hat: "Protecting the merchant fleet is the duty of the war fleet, and it is really not enough to worry about it." ”

The admiration in Xavi Alonso's heart is simply indescribable, and in his heart he has already enshrined this "no merit or pride" adult as a celestial!

He turned back to the captain's room and bent down and stretched out his hand, and said respectfully: "I can't express my gratitude for your kindness in words, why don't you come and sit inside, so that I can talk about my heart and express my gratitude!" ”

Little Alfred smiled and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Xavi Alonso immediately replied happily: "Naturally, hurry up and return to Seville!" We bought a large amount of ivory in Timbuktu and are ready to go back and sell it to cover our business debts! ”

Excited, Xavi Alonso was already open-mouthed, but Alfred Jr. did not respond positively, but said: "Since this is the case, then let's go together!" ”

Xavi Alonso was overjoyed! With such a powerful warfleet escorting the whole process, this is simply a fantastic treatment!

Immediately said yes, but saw little Alfred turn around and say something to the servant behind him, and the servant immediately turned around and sent a string of signals to the warfleet not far away.

Alfred Jr. smiled and said to Harvey Alon: "I have someone to inform the fleet, follow your fleet." So, do you have good wine on board? It's been a long time since I've had a good wine! ”

Xavi Alonso was overjoyed!

What are you most afraid of as a businessman? The first thing to bear the brunt of is that their own officials in charge do not eat oil and salt, soft and hard!

There are many businessmen who can't find the temple gate with a pig's head, and the food and clothing parents who take the initiative to come up like this are simply a gift from God!

When I go back, I must go to church and donate 10% of my assets in return!

Xavi Alonso thought.

After entering the cabin, the hull of the ship started at the same time, and the battle fleet behind also set sail slowly, taking the right and left positions to escort the Piernas merchant fleet.

As a result, not only Xavi Alonso, but also the sailors and navigators who survived the catastrophe began to shout excitedly!

As the host, Harvey Alonso respectfully invited little Alfred to the main seat, and the ship's treasured wine and delicacies, which were originally only for his own enjoyment, were brought to the table like a stream, and in a short time the table was full!

During the dinner, little Alfred told about his recent experience, only to hear Xavi Alonso's horror and surprise!

According to Alfred Jr., the reason why he has lost news in the recent period is because he led the fleet to the Far East, and with the help of the commander-in-chief of the Nanyang Navy, Burns Jr., launched an attack on the countries of the East!

After several months of arduous fighting, which has severely dampened the spirit of the great powers of the Far East, the other side has agreed to open its ports for trade.

Such news is comparable to the gospel for Harvey Alonso, who has been a maritime merchant for many years! Finding a new, high-value route with existing shipping routes being restricted is a great initiative to revive ocean trade!

The Alfred family lives up to its name! It seems that all the compliments that have been heard before are true, and the slander against them by the de Guzmán gang is nonsense!

For example, at the moment, when the country is in crisis, what else can the descendants of de Guzmán do to praise other than destroying their country's alliance with Britain and destroying the maritime business environment that has finally improved?

But the little Mr. Alfred in front of him is different, he used his own hands to create and open the Far Eastern Gate that his predecessors had not opened for a long time, which is simply a major event that can be compared with defeating the Ottoman Empire, annexing Portugal, and bringing the Spanish Navy to the top!

For a while, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic. As the conversation deepened, Javi Alonso also became more and more respectful of the great little Alfred, especially after the little Alfred clearly rejected his request to be grateful with gold, silver and jewelry, and deep in his heart, he sincerely hoped to do something for this gentleman to express his gratitude and admiration.

But what can you do? People's families, under one person, above 10,000 people, have been at the peak for many years, and must have accumulated countless amounts of gold and silver, how can they look down on these three melons and two dates of their own?

So what should you do?

During the dinner, Xavi Alonso heard a few times from Mr. Alfred in front of him: "I don't ask for anything in return, I just want to be famous in the world." ”

Could it be that what little Mr. Alfred wants most is that ethereal reputation?

If so, maybe you can actually do something about it!

After expressing this meaning, the slightly drunk little Mr. Alfred did not explicitly refuse, and it seemed that he was really a man of the way.

There's a door! When you return to Seville, you will do your part to make Mr. Alfred Jr.'s wish come true.
