344. A thousand heads are twisted
Life is like a train journey, there are always people who keep getting on the train, and there are always people who keep getting off the train. The only thing that is certain is that one day, I will also come to the end and leave this life express train completely.
After I woke up, I sat down for a long time, not because I was sad, but because I needed time to sort out the important matters at the moment and divide the priorities.
First of all, the queen's reward has not yet come down, and it is not clear what it is, but it is foreseeable that while she gives me sweetness, she will also give me a new mission and task, and there is absolutely no white-collar benefit.
Secondly, there are several people and several things that need to be sorted out separately. For example, Alfred, Reykjavík, and Matthias, the second prince of Germany, who has no right to inherit, are all matters that need to be settled by me.
For another example, I heard that I have encountered some trouble in trade recently, and I need to deal with it urgently. Hansen Young brings a handwritten letter to King Maurice of the Netherlands to discuss cooperation. And the mess in Africa, it's really head-scratching.
Of course, there is one more important thing - the child of the second uncle, where is she? When do I leave for Venice?
At this time, the situation is so complicated that I even have a hint of wanting to escape. I miss the carefree and simple life of the previous life, even if it was the situation when I first entered this world, how relaxed and comfortable!
I couldn't help but sigh secretly, there are many things that really can't be escaped. The moment I chose to go to sea, the moment I decided to take revenge on the Spaniards, I was doomed to lose my easy and pleasant life, and to work hard.
The best way to solve the current problem is to have someone do it for me, so what I lack most is talent! Talent! Talent!
If only I had more talents under my command like Nine Ghosts Masataka, Adikon, Mavi, and Gryska! Unfortunately, this is all hard to come by.
After thinking about it for a day, I made a simple combing of the priorities of the matter, and at the same time clarified the simple division of labor.
As a matter of urgency, I had to make a trip to the Netherlands, and the reason was simple – I didn't trust the UK! With people like Raleigh in vogue, I don't think the UK can help me enough.
In my mind, the UK and I are at best using each other and borrowing from each other, but we are by no means partners or partners who share the same heart and support each other.
So I had to find a reliable companion for myself – the Dutch are the most business-heavy people in history, they are the initiators of trusts, they are the leaders of equity, so they will definitely be a great help for me in business.
Once this matter is settled, I will turn south and send Alfred home and have an interview with his powerful father. My initial idea was that the meeting place would be better on the border with West France, and I would like to stop by and see Henry's guy and get in touch with each other.
After this matter is resolved, depending on the specific situation in Africa - if the situation is urgent, I will go to Africa first; If I can still control it, I will go to the Mediterranean first, and then I will decide.
As for Reykjavík, I handed it over to Adicon, who put the finishing touches on Grysca's place.
Without regrets, I have asked Old Tucker to go and find out the situation in private first, and before waiting for the queen's reward, I should be able to come up with a plan.
As for Matthias, he had to fully improve his cultivation and fame before the turn of fortune, and after thinking about it, I gave him a task - to open up the Nordic market.
Hopefully, he will live up to his expectations and get along with the descendants of these Vikings and lay a solid first step for his comeback.
At the same time, I also gave Mo a task - to selectively annex the local underground forces and establish his own intelligence network and channels, so that he would not be caught blind when the white road could not be used one day.
Also, at noon, Charlie came to me and said that he and the team led by Halleha and Shi had made a breakthrough in my proposed weapons improvement plan, which required a lot of experiments; Kalasim and Zhi also talked about the problem of drug experiments, which requires materials.
With a big stroke of my pen, I gave them another sum of money. But speaking of which, I still seem to lack a real accounting talent, and the accounts have been managed by the Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao, and this old boy has also expressed to me several times that he has a bit of a big head.
It seems that looking for a group of excellent financial managers is also indispensable!
In this way, except for the henchman of the Nine Ghosts Masataka, all the capable and capable people were sent out by me, and I once again felt the strong pressure brought to me by the shortage of talents.
I'm dreaming of finding someone to support myself now, so could I have a job fair? I had an idea in my heart, it was just a grudge, but when I think about it, why not?
Why should I follow the rules of the world now? It's possible to effectively replicate the experience of the previous life here and better achieve your own goals, isn't it?
I wasn't going to do this myself, but I called the Nine Ghosts Masataka - just now I said that I didn't arrange anything specific for him, so it didn't happen in a blink of an eye?
However, considering that the local situation is different from that of Dongying, one side of the water and soil supports the other, and he still has to find an "native" to help him, so I set my sights on Wayne Nash, the head snake of the land......
There is also the issue of the name of the Chamber of Commerce, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, and clear up the relationship with the "Blade Sea" Chamber of Commerce led by Unrepentant, and borrowed the name of the Huamei Chamber of Commerce, but now......
Now it seems that this name may not be beneficial for me to further expand my influence and increase my popularity, and I must change my face as soon as possible. Besides, Hua Mei has already left again......
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh softly again, what is the name...... It is definitely not suitable for the Ming Dynasty, and it is not appropriate to hook up with the British, so what should it be called?
My thoughts couldn't help but drift to the American continent that I had just left, the desolate continent that represented prospects, hopes and the future.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but get excited, and all of a sudden even the departure of the kite and the departure of Hua Mei were diluted, and there was only this thought left in my heart that made me secretly refreshed.
In this era of the world, no one knows what America is, let alone claim power for it. I can use this name, and I can use it openly!
So, I called a few of my henchmen and told them about the idea. These guys don't have any problem with changing their names, after all, it's also very obscene for a group of big men to huddle under a chamber of commerce named after flowers.
But as old Jianghu, these guys also said they wanted to know what this "America" represented.
In desperation, I began to pretend to be a magic stick, in short, it was a set of mysterious and mysterious things. What god of freedom told me to walk in the world with the banner of freedom and sow the seeds of freedom and justice......
This set of arguments is very popular in contemporary times, but Adicon, who is more serious, also pointed out that it seems that there is no record of the god of liberty in the legend, so there are some doubts.
And the nine ghosts Zhengxiao, who has always been shrewd, is also confused, he also proposed that according to the legend, the Lord of the Stove is in charge of money, the Lord of Yama is in charge of life and death, and the Jade Emperor is in charge of the Heavenly Court......
I suddenly had a black line, this TMD is really a pot that can't be opened! In both the East and the West, there is no god in charge of "freedom" in all the teachings derived from obscurantism, because this is fundamentally contrary to the original intent of the teachings.
Religion exists to control people's minds and encourage freedom, so isn't that self-severing of the right arm? Of course, there were also gods in Greek mythology who did not like to be tied down.
For example, Artemis, the goddess of the moon, Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war, and Prometheus, who gave fire to mankind, but they are not the so-called gods of freedom.
The so-called god of liberty was first proposed by Locke in modern times and reached its peak in the French Revolution.
But at this moment, what can I do to convince this group of curious old fritters? After a little thought, let's use the way of others and give back to others!
Under my half-truths and half-truths, everyone who has been going to sea for a long time and whose superstitious thoughts are deeply rooted in their hearts know that something seems to be wrong if they go any further, so they all obediently close their mouths and unanimously approve my naming proposal!
And after the successful renaming of the business association, I changed the names of several main warships out of control! The flagship was called the USS America, and ships 1 to 4 were named New York, New Jersey, Florida and North Carolina.
As for the names of the ships of the other detachments, let's talk about it slowly later, haha.
These distinctly British-style names, I can naturally say that they follow the local customs, and by the way, they have also shown their loyalty to the Queen, which is really a double win......
New name, new atmosphere! After changing my name, I immediately felt refreshed, and even all the unhappiness I had before was swept away!
Now wait for the Queen's reward order, and I can go to carry out my plan!
But in this world, sometimes things just don't follow people's thoughts. originally thought that the reward should be issued in minutes, but it dragged on for half a month.
In the past half a month, I have changed from a slight expectation at the beginning to dispensable, and dispensable to a lack of interest, and even because of this incident, my plan has been delayed to the point of being quite disgusted and boring.
I even decided to wait three more days! Just three days! If the reward order doesn't come down again, I'll just leave and go about my own business!
Of course, this also has to do with the revelation that Jack Bravo revealed when he was invited to my house for dinner – there seems to be a disagreement within the royal family about what kind of reward should be given to me, which directly contributed to the unresolved situation today.
Since there are differences, let's study them well! It is impossible for me to influence my own plans for procedural problems between these odious and shameful bureaucratic aristocrats.
So by the next day, I had already arranged for someone to organize the fleet and prepare for the voyage.
It may have been my attitude that played an indirect role in boosting it, and at noon on the third day, the Queen's "reward" order really arrived! And unsurprisingly, there are a lot of conditions attached to it.
It's really a thick suspicion and malice that can't be dissolved! After listening to the proclamation of the palace envoy, I thought to myself.
It seems that before leaving, this problem must be solved first! Since someone wants to give me a question, I'll show him the answer!
