Artillery fire rumbled, and on the surface of the sea, on a ship that had not fired, a discussion was raging.

"This plan is very good, but I always feel that our Wyvern Gang may not be able to eat Puluozhong!"

Zheng Zhilong, as the leader of the Flying Dragon Gang, knew everything about the strength of the Flying Dragon Gang, and when Shi Peicai proposed his plan to hide and conceal the Gang, Zheng Zhilong was not as excited and happy as Lu Yi, but after some calculations in his heart, he gave an unclear question.

The geographical location of Puzhong is really superior, and Zheng Zhilong knows how much benefit it will bring to himself and his gang in the future, but he also knows how huge the risks behind the interests are.

Even Zheng Zhilong and the others know the facts, how can other Westerners not understand it? However, until the Dutch were also wise, and after occupying Puzhong, although they relied on him to share a lot of oil and water in the trade between the East and the West, they did not restrict other Western merchants from traveling between the East and the West too much.

Moreover, the Netherlands hoarded heavy troops in the Indonesian Islands and Malacca, which also made other Westerners who coveted Puluo unable to help but privately calculate the consequences of invading Puzhong.

Today's Wyvern Gang has lost most of its troops, and if it is said that after defeating the Westerner fleet in Batavia, and then attacking the Timor Islands step by step, etc., it may not be unacceptable for this washed Westerner.

After all, the territory of the Indonesian archipelago is quite vast, and even if the territory of the Timor Islands is occupied by the Wyvern Gang, in addition to the Spaniards who have suffered the most serious losses, other Westerners are under the influence of the lessons of the past, plus their own strength has been greatly damaged, and it is very likely that the Wyvern Gang will become one of the local forces.

However, if Puzhong is occupied by the Wyvern Gang, it means that the important routes with the lowest risk and shortest voyage between the West and the East will be contained.

Who can guarantee that the Flying Dragon Gang will simply block the route, so that many Western forces in the Indonesian archipelago will now cut off the channel of this route.

This kind of worry also means that for the sake of profit, as long as this group of Westerners is unwilling to give up the rich trade area in the East, they will fight the Wyvern Gang to the end, until Puzhong is recaptured by them, or everyone's last point of combat power in the Far East is not low.

"Gang Leader Zheng's consideration is right, if he occupies Puluozhong, then it is very likely that the next direction of the war will be that countless local Westerners will really twist into a rope, and then collectively attack Puluozhong."

"Judging from the strength of the Flying Dragon Gang now, it is indeed impossible for you to stand on your feet, even if Lu Yi of the Shark Gang does not withdraw, plus them, your chances of winning will not be very great."

"But to tell the truth, after occupying Puzhong, our plan is to use this as a bargaining chip, first weaken the military power of their Westerners, and then sow discord between them, which is our real goal."

Shi Peicai continued to tell his plan with confidence, but he didn't know why, but the more Zheng Zhilong listened, the more he felt that he seemed to be on the thief ship of Hongmen this time, and many things were out of control.

"For what purpose?"

At this moment, Zheng Zhilong could only push the boat down the river and listen to Shi Peicai's next plan.

"Let's open Puzhong to all the forces in the Indonesian archipelago and Malacca, follow the example of their East India Company in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and give each participating force a certain stake in exchange for the fact that your Wyvern Gang has a foothold in the Indonesian archipelago."

"What? Isn't this giving money to these guys for nothing? ”

Lu Yi was dissatisfied, and even Zheng Zhilong himself was a little unacceptable, after all, if he could occupy Puluozhong, then the Flying Dragon Gang would be a golden rooster that would lay eggs, even if he didn't do anything at that time, just taking the fleet every day and collecting tolls around the strait, it would be a good day to make money every day!

"Gang Master Zheng, to be honest, the world has changed greatly today, according to the words of our sect master, this era belongs to the era of great navigation!"

"Is it possible to drive out the Westerners completely?"

"It's possible, but without Westerners, who will we sell spices and jewelry from the South Seas and Indonesian Islands? Who would buy our Chinese specialty silk, tea, and porcelain at a high price? ”

"So, Westerners may have their clumsy side, but they also have their value worth using."

"Gang Leader Zheng, as a betrayer, your Flying Dragon Gang wants to gain a foothold in the Indonesian archipelago in the future, and if you want to develop, in addition to a large enough territory, you also need a channel for foreign trade development."

"The war with the Westerners is a fight for survival, and when the territory occupied by your Wyvern Gang is enough for you to develop for more than ten years or decades, you will work hard under pressure for a long time, and develop and accumulate your heritage through reclamation, planting, trade and business."

"When the time comes, the object of your foreign trade will eventually be transferred to today's opponents, I am not afraid to tell you the truth, the next ten years of China's territory will be a period of collapse and dynasty change, I am afraid there is not much energy to focus on supporting you."

"Maybe you want to say that you don't need our support, as long as you trade normally, but when the world is turned upside down on the land of China, do you think the things you can get your hands on the Indonesian archipelago are too attractive to the mainland of China?"

"Since there is no good deal to attract Chinese merchants, if you want to develop and obtain foreign materials, then you must look at the object that can be sold at a good price."

"Who is interested in your jewelry, spices? Isn't that the group of Westerners left in front of you? ”

"But with their suspicion and hatred of you, it will be a long process to dispel their wariness of you, and it will take a reasonable opportunity to make huge concessions to your interests."

"Instead of waiting until that time, it is better to plan as soon as possible, and after you have gained enough territory strength, turn around and give the other party an attractive condition that you have to accept, so that your worries will be solved all of a sudden."

"And most importantly, you can take this opportunity to disrupt the alliance formed by the Dutch people, and directly disintegrate them from within, so that you don't have to worry about other Western powers continuing to target you."

Shi Peicai talked eloquently, and the content of the talk was substantial, and Zheng Zhilong's brows were frowning from the beginning, and finally slowly stretched.

"And we haven't really given up the interests of the general public, since the interests of the general public are going to be divided, then as the interests of the damaged, we can at least ensure that our interests are far more than the interests of other forces, and the rights in the general are greater!"
