Zheng Zhilong and they couldn't understand what the Europeans were like, but they fled all the way north, but the road was relatively safe.

"Gang leader, our losses have been counted, and now there are four warships left, and there are eighty or seventy-three people left."

When Zheng Zhiyan reported the results of the rest to Zheng Zhilong in a disgraced manner, he was ready to be scolded by Zheng Zhilong and used as a venting bucket.

However, to Zheng Zhiyan's surprise, Zheng Zhilong showed no signs of anger after hearing this miserable battle damage report, except for his heavy heart.

"Let the brothers have a good life and recuperate, this time it is hard for everyone."

Zheng Zhilong was already haggard at this time, and their main warship of the Flying Dragon Gang only survived so much in the end, but their allies and opponents had suffered heavy losses, how could he be so demanding of the group of brothers around him who were born and died with him.

"Helper, Lu Yi is in charge."

"Invite them in."

Zheng Zhilong raised his head, sorted out his emotions, and then forcibly put on a smile and said.

"Master Lu, this time it's really thanks to you, otherwise we wouldn't just be so lost."

Zheng Zhilong was ashamed of the Shark Gang, if it weren't for his selfish desire to fight to the death with foreign devils, the strength of their Shark Gang would not have been hit so hard.

"Since everyone is an ally, we should naturally fight the enemy together, and we should help you desperately if you are in trouble."

said so, but Lu Yi's expression was very unhappy, but there was also Shi Peicai, a third-party force think tank, who was with him, so that he could help Lu Yi explain a thing or two, so that he could understand Zheng Zhilong's reasons for their choice, as well as the real intention of their alliance between Hongmen, the Shark Gang and the Flying Dragon Gang.

"But I still have to thank the Lu family for your help, and at the same time, I will do my best to compensate for your losses."

For Lu Yi's politeness, Zheng Zhilong naturally didn't take it seriously, but made the most sincere expression and thanked Lu Yi and them.

"I didn't come to you to compensate for my Shark losses, but to ask Gang Master Zheng how you are going to act next."

The person who spoke was not Lu Yi, but Hongmen Shi Peicai, who had been a staff officer for them before and made a plan.

"Well, what else can be done? Now that my Wyvern Gang has been crippled, what else can I do but recuperate? “

Zheng Zhilong's heart was shocked, and then he made a helpless gesture and gave an ambiguous answer.

"Hehe, we know that Gang Leader Zheng may be thinking in his heart now: My Flying Dragon Gang has become like this, is it possible that you are ready to take advantage of the great loss of our gang's strength and disadvantage our gang?"

Shi Peicai didn't care about Zheng Zhilong's defensive attitude, but said the scruples in Zheng Zhilong's heart like poking window paper.

Zheng Zhilong was relieved to see that Shi Peicai was so direct, since the other party had said this, then he didn't have to hide it, but calmly faced the other side and nodded in agreement.

"After this desperate struggle of the Shark Gang, presumably Gang Leader Zheng can also feel our sincerity, so we will not beat around the bush and directly put forward our opinions to Gang Leader Zheng."

Since Zheng Zhilong was calm, then Shi Peicai was even more comfortable, facing the eyes of the square, and began to slowly inform him of the various arrangements that the tense base camp had told him, select the contents, and inform Zheng Zhilong of one or two.

"Now the Wyvern Gang has suffered a lot of losses, and without hiding it from the Zheng gang leader, the Shark Gang has requisitioned all the warships that their gang can mobilize in order to cooperate with your gang's alliance this time, and you can also see the number of warships and sailors that have survived in the end."

"But by the same token, this war is a lose-lose situation, and you have suffered heavy losses, but the foreign devils in Europe have also suffered a lot of losses."

"If we take a step back at this time and think about recuperation, it actually means that the foreigners in Europe also have time to recuperate, then the meaning of our fight with them will be weakened too much."

Shi Peicai's words were intense, and it seemed that he didn't intend to end there, which made Zheng Zhilong, who listened to his words, gradually frown.

"After this battle, the head of the Shark Gang Lu San will temporarily return to report their losses in the first battle to Li Tiansheng. And I will also accompany the return trip, but before that, I would like to confirm the attitude of Zheng Zhilong's gang leader, whether he is willing to organize the last living forces again and capture the eastern islands such as Timor Island and Weigu Island. “

“……“

Zheng Zhilong was speechless for a long time, his eyes were close to Shi Peicai's heart, and he wanted to see the true intention behind his words, but all he could see was a sincere face and sincere eyes.

"Our Wyvern Gang has sacrificed so much, so naturally we hope to take this opportunity to occupy a piece of territory, and from now on we will have a piece of land that belongs to us in this Indonesian sea."

"Good! It's good to have the words of Zheng Gang Master! ”

Shi Peicai clapped his hands and laughed, his face also full of encouragement.

"As long as Gang Leader Zheng has this determination, then I, Shi Pei, am willing to persuade Gang Leader Crazy Shark Li and let him send troops to help you again."

"At the same time, I will also repair a letter and send it to my Hongmen Dayuan Island, report to my master Li Tianyang, and ask him to send troops south to attack the Western devils with us......"

"Wait!"

Zheng Zhilong interrupted Shi Peicai's high-minded talk, and since he had already said it, he also told the doubts that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

"I want to know, what do you Shark Gang and Hongmen want in the end?"

"As the leader of a gang, I have never had enough confidence in the so-called morality and covenant in the face of interests, so if Captain Shi can't come up with a reasonable explanation, then I, Zheng Zhilong, will think about the thousands of people in my Flying Dragon Gang, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do what Captain Shi wants."

"Hmph, you don't want to, I don't want to?"

Hearing Zheng Zhilong's refusal, Lu Yi, who was already reluctant, made a statement on the spot: "You have also seen it Captain Shi, now this Zheng Gang Leader himself is unwilling to cooperate with us, so I think this matter should be forgotten!" ”

"Lu is in charge, it's good to be restless!"

Shi Peicai signaled Lu Yi to calm down with his eyes, and then turned his head and continued to face Zheng Zhilong, how could Shi Peicai not think of Zheng Zhilong's doubts.

Now that the other party has revealed his doubts, Shi Peicai has not hesitated to explain to him some of their plans for the Wild Shark and Hongmen.

"Gang Master Zheng's question is a good question, if I am in the position of Gang Master Zheng, I am afraid that I will also have this question."

"But please rest assured that the interests of my Hongmen and Li Tiansheng's Crazy Shark Gang have long been closely related to Gang Leader Zheng."
