The fierce fighting that took place in the North Sea caused widespread concern across Europe. Peace is not easy to come by, and people really do not want to burn the relatively stable development opportunities that have been obtained with great difficulty.

But everyone knows that Britain has been very sensitive lately, and will check almost all fleets close to the English Channel.

Although they did not explicitly target all Dutch fleets, it was clear that fleets, including the Dutch, Spanish, and French, would be treated unfairly until an attack was launched.

In response to this issue, many countries have initiated diplomatic notes to the United Kingdom. Britain was very indifferent to this, and did not face the anger and condemnation of other countries.

As the main target, the performance of the dreadnought fleet is very puzzling to the outside world - unlike the previous tough performance, the dreadnought fleet performance this time is quite low-key, and there is no intention of being tough with the British at all.

People began to wonder more and more - this was not in line with the Dreadnought's style, after all, people already knew that I was behind the Dreadnought, and judging by my resume, it was not my style to be timid and dodge.

So they began to wonder what I was trying to do with the back, Woo-hee on the surface, but under the deliberate dodging of the Dreadnought and our other fleets, all those who tried to see the joke were in vain.

Is it the calm before the storm? People are thinking that it wasn't until a piece of news came out that everyone suddenly realized!

The message was sent from Paris, Seville, Amsterdam and Hamburg.

The message is publicly available to all countries and reads as follows:

"The Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Kingdom of France, the Kingdom of Spain, and the Kingdom of Germany jointly issued a statement that in order to strengthen trade exchanges, boost economic strength, and effectively solve the current problems of obstruction of European trade routes and deterioration of the business environment, the four countries jointly decided——

Establish a new trade alliance centered on economic cooperation, jointly carry out trade development, and strengthen trade exchanges and economic cooperation.

The Netherlands, as the permanent implementing country, is responsible for the day-to-day functioning of the Alliance.

The headquarters of the alliance is located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and the trade center is located in New York, a city in the north of the new continent! ”

Signed:

King William of the Netherlands, King Henry of France, King Philip II of Spain, King Matthias of Germany!

This news is like a bombshell, which instantly detonated the entire European continent!

People could hardly believe that this was true news at first, especially for the British, because these four countries represented almost two-thirds of the power of the whole of Europe, and contained energy that almost made the whole of Europe* tremble!

However, after confirmation, people finally found out that this news was by no means false, but a cooperation agreement jointly signed by the four royal families!

Is this about to change? The people shouted in astonishment - this is clearly an alliance against the British! How did it come out of nowhere?

However, soon, the authenticity of this news is no longer the focus of attention, and everyone's attention has shifted from the notice itself to the site of the Chamber of Commerce that has moved from the European continent to the new continent!

Not only the four countries that issued the statement, but also Portugal, Sweden, Norway, Italy and other countries also chose to join the trade alliance after a short wait-and-see, and tried every means to squeeze into this emerging trade circle!

Obviously, this trade circle is currently limited to the economic and trade field, but no one is stupid enough to think that this alliance will stay only in the trade field for the rest of its life.

If the political intentions behind trade are clearly revealed, then there is really no need for the country to learn how to run it.

So soon, a circle in the name of trade was rapidly formed, and a large number of trade forces were really gathered at full speed to the westernmost part of the world!

It is clear to all people that in the face of the fact that the existing trading system with London at its core is unsustainable after political shocks, the choice of a new trade core and the artificial trade shackles are the real viable solution - the solution to the multi-country economic recession.

According to statistics, in just two months after the announcement was issued, more than 155 trading companies have registered business licenses in New York, a new mainland city, and nearly 160 have not passed the one-time examination and approval due to qualification problems, and are persistently applying for approval.

What people didn't expect was that almost all the merchants who registered in the New World encountered a speechless problem - housing prices!

Boosted by people's great enthusiasm, the price of land in the New World has been pushed up, and the problem of hard to find land has appeared in many places, and the price has begun to increase slowly, which is almost a problem that has never been encountered in the vast and sparsely populated New Land!

It soon became clear that it was not that there was no land near New York, but that all valuable, high-quality land was planned, and that there was very little land that could be freely developed, and it was of considerable value.

Such an industrial development model has aroused great interest from businessmen from all over the world. They never imagined that land in an area could be sold as a concentrated asset with high investment value!

This discovery surprised everyone who came to invest - the trade circle that can innovate in terms of model is a hot spot in itself, not to mention the fact that there is an almost infinite market to be developed!

How can this not be exciting?

In this way, trade in the New World was in a state of high intensity from the very beginning, and the whole of New York was hard to find, let alone Manhattan Island, which was not available to others until a few heads of state who signed the agreement.

So being able to get a piece of land on Manhattan Island has almost become the supreme honor of merchants from all over the world - I have what others don't have, and I have what others have, which is a very worthwhile thing in itself, isn't it?

Of course, this way of hungry marketing in just a few months,

The once desolate New York and its surrounding areas have undergone tremendous changes in a short period of time!

Of course, there are also those who believe that this gambling approach to development is unsustainable and is a detractor of New York's economy.

But it soon became clear that the economic model surrounding the new city was new, not trade in the traditional sense, but with a lot of new elements.

For example, equity, futures, trusts, and many new business models and contents that are emerging and have only appeared in aristocratic conversations before.

Although these things are very new, not everyone can accept and operate, but after witnessing the rapid rise of a large number of merchants because they have caught up with the trend and understood the policy, countless people's hearts are warm!

If you don't seize such an opportunity, it's a tyrannical thing!

The power of role models is huge, and under the drive of role models, more and more people are participating in the development of New York City and the surrounding areas, which also makes this land more popular!

More importantly, the trade system surrounding the four Contracting States is rapidly being established, and the markets of countries that are not parties or members of this trade union are rapidly shrinking and their competitiveness is declining.

To give an intuitive example, after Spain, which was defeated in the previous war, joined the trade alliance, although the labor ability of the whole people was not outstanding, it relied on the huge naval displacement and sailing mileage, gathered a large number of transportation resources, and the transportation business was endless, and soon recovered a large amount of vitality lost in the previous war through trade, and the size of the navy was slowly increasing.

Another example is France - in such a barrier-free trade, through investment, mergers, restructuring and other modes, it has obtained the advanced shipbuilding technology and navigation skills of many other countries, and it has also made rapid progress, quickly catching up with the original old naval countries and ranking among the first-class.

All in all, the greatest effect of this alliance is to close the gap between countries, so that the gap between countries does not narrow until it disappears.

But this narrowing is only limited to the countries in the circle, as for the countries outside the circle, I'm sorry, that's not a problem that the countries in the circle should take into account, after all, they are all happy to develop themselves, who cares about the people outside!

Across the ocean, a port city at the end of the River Thames, London.

In the side hall of the Palace of Westminster.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! The sound of glassware shattering continued, and it was known that the Queen was throwing things again.

The ladies who have served the queen all year round don't quite know why the queen is angry, but it is clear that the queen's mood is extremely bad, and her anger is enough to burn everything around her!

"Damn! Damn the guys! How dare he do that! Elizabeth's voice echoed in the side hall, but no one answered her.

This also makes the queen's voice seem particularly abrupt, full of bleakness and tyranny.

"Where's Drake? Is he really gone? Did you really leave me? Elizabeth asked, almost snarling.

"Yes, Her Majesty." She responded to her by Isabella beside her: "I'm afraid I need to remind you that because of your previous series of actions, Sir Drake has a huge sense of distrust and panic, so he has completely left England, and now he is ......"

"What are you doing! You said! Hearing her niece stop talking, Elizabeth asked again angrily.

"I'm serving as CEO in New York Harbor!" Isabella replied helplessly: "He accepted Sun Qilan's comprehensive invitation and officially became a core member of his team!" ”

"Smack!" Another crunch sound!

"You want me to throw in the towel! No way! When pigs fly! I want them to pay for it! Pay a terrible price! ”
