Every fleet that comes out of London is under our watch, especially those under unknown flags, but unimpeded.

In fact, sometimes I am really anxious about the IQ of these ancient people, knowing that such a performance will be covered, which is equivalent to showing my identity, but I still enjoy it.

Maybe—I mean, maybe, that's how they identify themselves and make themselves different.

Under the feudal system, these rulers already had an innate sense of superiority, which was also something that could not be helped.

That afternoon, after Elizabeth had organized a collective meeting, there was such an unflagged but unimpeded fleet of ships departing from Canary Wharf in the port of London, lined up in a neat line, and headed straight for the mouth of the Thames.

Our fleet keenly followed them, and as they went out to sea, sailed to the North Sea, all the way east, straight in the direction of Amsterdam.

It seems that my estimate was correct, Elizabeth guessed that I was behind the trouble, but she couldn't find my whereabouts, so she wanted to go to Youxi to negotiate.

After all, all the discord this time was partly due to her treachery and partly due to her suppression of the dreadnought.

The first half has become a fait accompli, and I don't have a direct representation. But at present, I have come to this embarrassing situation, and it is more because they are pressing step by step, that I have no choice but to fight back.

To put it bluntly, this kind of dimensionality reduction blow is quite fatal to them, where do these Caucasian people who have just escaped from ignorance understand the true meaning of power art?

Those tactics and tactics that seem to be quite esoteric, in fact, which one is not a repetition of the facts that have been deduced two thousand years ago, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?

said it more thoroughly, but it was all left over from the year, and they still compare these in front of us, which is nothing more than playing a big knife in front of Guan Gongmen.

As for what they will talk about with Woo-hee? Thinking about it, it is nothing more than to put strong pressure first, see that it is ineffective, then retreat to negotiate, and finally be forced to accept our conditions in desperation, this is the path I designed for them.

Of course, it is difficult to say whether things will change after this, because these Caucasians, who thought that they had become civilized through the Renaissance, never had any moral morality, and had always been a brutal race that was aggressive and spoke with their fists.

There are some things that you can only inspire if you claim to be civilized or civilized, but you must really have a deep accumulation and really touch the thick layer of history, and these sons of barbarians are still far, far away.

While in Bruges, I went through the possible scenarios, made a distinction between the possible concentrations, and finally made up my mind to respond to the changes.

The fleet had been in Amsterdam for almost a week, and it seemed that the overall estimate was pretty much the same as I had envisioned. There was a time when two of the ships returned to London on a special trip, and it is estimated that there are some uncertain things and need to go back for instructions, but on the whole, it should still be relatively progressive.

Why is it so estimated? The reason is also very simple, if there is no progress in the negotiations between the two sides, and in such a situation, it is bound to be tense, then it should not be these two ships that will come back again, but the warfleet of the brigade to pick quarrels and provoke trouble.

As long as the situation has not developed to the point of real sword fighting, then the matter is still under control.

All the problems are still in my Plan A, but the specific parameters need to be adjusted.

On the ninth day, the fleet left Amsterdam, and the Dreadnought sent two ships to follow them back to London.

In my estimation, it should be Youxi sending someone to sign a contract with them.

During this period, Youxi never sent anyone to me, which is also what we agreed - as long as Plan A can be carried out, all the conditions will be negotiated by him.

And if Plan A can't hold back and needs the support of Plan B, then she will definitely tell me as soon as possible, and I will plan for the next step.

Another two days, according to the tradition of the British royal family, after the agreement is signed on the same day, a drinking party will be held the next day, which can be regarded as a public announcement.

Youxi has been crawling around in the mall all these years, and he is very familiar with playing with this set of etiquette things in Europe.

So I didn't worry about it at all, just quietly waited for the initial resolution of the matter.

On her third day in London, all was over, and the two ships were escorted out of the Thames Canal by the British Royal Fleet and returned to Amsterdam with great fanfare.

Half a day after her fleet passed, my fleet also set sail from the port of Bruges and headed straight for Amsterdam.

At the headquarters of the Blade Sea, I met the jubilant Woo-hee and his wife, and I also met Drake, who was in good spirits despite his unhealthy complexion.

"Hey! Grandchild! How the hell do you do that? Drake jumped up when he saw me: "To be able to incite such a large-scale riot and to put it down invisibly, in the end, it was only the queen who verbally dealt with the two barons, reduced the tax burden of the people of London by half a percent, and everything was solved!" ”

He walked up to me, pulled me by the clothes, and pulled me back and forth: "What the hell are you made of?" Why does it seem like magic? ”

I gently opened Drake's hand and laughed, "Where do I know what magic!" Don't talk nonsense, they'll burn me as a heretic! ”

Drake was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Are you afraid of this? If you want me to look at that, you are not afraid of anyone except that you will be in awe of Poseidon, the god of the sea, at sea! ”

I pursed my lips and chuckled, "You're exalting me too much!" Man! ”

Drake gave me a deep look and a retracted smile, "How the hell did you do that?" Why is there such a free grip on these people? ”

I sat them all down, took a big sip of water, and then chuckled and said, "We have an old saying in the East - it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and from luxury to thrift. Ever since the victory over the Spaniards, the British have regarded themselves as the men of destiny. But in the past two years, you've encountered some resistance, haven't you? ”

"That's right! The situation is somewhat repetitive. Drake replied.

I mumbled, "That's right! Moreover, in order to realize the dream of a great power, Elizabeth engaged in naval construction at all costs, which transferred a large amount of civilian wealth to the military. If such a situation can be persisted in a good year, it will not be sustainable in the face of such fluctuations! ”

I picked up my glass and shook it at them as a compliment, but continued: "So I'm just using this to incite the masses to use you as an excuse to make trouble!" ”

Drake smacked his lips: "You are so straightforward and chilling!" I thought they really sympathized with me! ”

I spat and pointed at him and shouted, "I'm telling you now, they're just fighting for you, do you believe it?" ”

After saying that, Drake and I looked at each other and laughed in unison!

Woo-hee and his wife laughed too.

After laughing for a while, I restrained my smile and asked Drake with a faint smile, "But why did you come out with you, man?" Elizabeth shouldn't be bothering you anymore! ”

Drake stared at me for a long time, and suddenly sighed, "I was persuaded by you!" The blueprint you sketched is too grand, I think I should follow you in my lifetime to try it out, and see if it works! And ......"

He waved his hand vigorously: "This incident makes me feel cold, I have fought for the country for most of my body, but because of a small mistake, I actually ruined my previous achievements!" I don't want to do this anymore. So after Elizabeth let go of the rules on me, I resigned and came to Amsterdam with Miss Zhang. ”

Youxi smiled: "Qilan, Mr. Drake is also talking to me about this on the road, he is a person with feelings and ambitions, and your plan really attracts him deeply, so I believe that you will have a good cooperation, and the future will be very good!" ”

I let out a long sigh: "The road I have chosen, the road to build a new homeland, is actually a long mountain and a long way, and it is by no means something that our generation can accomplish, but I believe that as long as we have like-minded people working together, we will definitely reach the destination one day." ”

"Yes! I agree with your idea, I agree with your efforts, and I agree with everything you have done in Xinda*Lu! I believe that your idea will definitely come true, so I am willing to spend the rest of my life and follow you to Xinda* Lu to have another adventure! Drake said excitedly, raising his glass high at me!

"For the ideal!" I raise my glass too!

"For the ideal!" Everyone clinks glasses together.

It was a drunken night, but we all had a good time.

This time the matter was handled very satisfactorily, and it succeeded in blackmailing Elizabeth and resolving the crisis between us.

The biggest gain is to win the most important character of Drake!

My territory in North America was in ruins, and what I lacked most was all kinds of talent. Such talents cannot be solved by increasing the population base, but must be tapped and fought for in a targeted manner.

If you have to ask, who is the best person to do such a thing? I'm sure to be two fingers deep.

One is the Englishman Francis Drake.

It's my old partner, the Spaniard Alfred Jr.

But at the end of the day, Alfred Jr. and I are allies after all, and the two sides are because of Ilier and Drake, and Drake is different, and we come together because we share the same ideals.

If you want to ask, what is the most unstoppable effort in this world?

Then the answer must be ideal!

In other words, Alfred Jr. and I can be regarded as partners, and with Drake, we can be regarded as comrades and comrades-in-arms!

So we got drunk!

For comrades-in-arms! For comrades! For the ideal!

Cheers!
