The Governor of the Second Junior had a secret meeting with Colonel Wang Ding alone.

The second governor said: "We cannot support Philip IV...... He now had fifteen thousand cavalry, more than fifty thousand infantry, and could easily occupy the Flanders' domain of Count Guy...... If we give us military support...... In the future, it will not be easy for us to restrain him anymore...... It is impossible for us to send the Imperial Navy and Army to fight them personally! ”

Then, the Governor handed Colonel Wang Ding a photograph of Philip IV.

Soon after the opening of the photo studio in the city of Paris, it caused a boiling in the city of Paris, they had never seen such a miraculous means to print portraits on cardboard so realistically!

When Philip IV heard about this, he asked the photo studio to go to the palace and take pictures of him himself.

This is, of course, a request that the merchants of the Federal Empire could not ask for.

It's not a hassle to print one more one.

Colonel Wang Ding took it and took a look.

Philip IV in the photo has a gloomy face and seems to be a little nervous.

He was dressed in silver armor, a red battle robe, and long golden hair...... Because I was sitting, I couldn't see my height.

His background appears to be a study, and some parchment rolls can be seen.

Maybe the person in charge of the final coloring didn't like him either, and the color was a little wrong.

The Governor said:

"He wouldn't even pay for the photos! …… Only a few dozen rotten copper coins were given!

Looking back, I still think that the business of the photo studio is too good, and I casually added 20% of the tax!

I've never met a ruler who thinks our sea salt is too cheap to add to our commercial tax...... He doesn't seem to like to give civilians cheap salt......

If such a person were to dominate France...... Do you think it's good or bad for us?

We don't need such a unified big market! ”

Colonel Wang Ding smiled bitterly, this guy turned out to be like this...... A ruler without a commercial spirit is never a good partner to work with!

Colonel Wang Ding said, "Then we support Count Guy?" Let him become an independent country? ”

"For now, I can only choose to support him...... But whether he can become an independent country or not needs to be further observed, and we do not fully understand him...... So keeping it in the same condition is the best option! ”

Colonel Wang Ding nodded in agreement and said, "The army of the Federal Empire fully supports the Governor's decision!" ”

The Governor smiled.

The Governor of the Second Junior can actually order Colonel Wang Ding directly, but he likes to put the situation on the table and let everyone choose together.

Philip IV would definitely not have been a good partner...... His understanding of the spirit of commerce could not be compared to that of Edward I the long-legged!

The Governor of the Second Junior now has to secretly admire his master's family in his heart...... Tens of thousands of miles away, Paris, the capital of the Kingdom of France, is definitely not a suitable place to build a new business district!

When he set out, the host directly told him not to build a new business district in Paris immediately, and not to pay attention to the king, but only to consider the merchant and commercial interests of the Federal Empire!

But, hehe, such a great lord did not expect the Kingdom of Scotland to come into existence - they did not at all expect the emergence of a European king who was completely close to the federal empire...... Earlier, he could feel the unexpected surprise and genuine praise from the letters he received from the Lord's house!

The Lord is not in control, they are not beyond the reach of the gods...... It's just that he has a very high vision and ability.

Therefore, the second governor is really full of confidence in his heart now...... If you can have a good and long-term relationship with the Imperial Army...... Then, even in Europe tens of thousands of miles away, he will still be able to make a big difference, and he will definitely surpass those who gnaw dogs and develop Nanyindianzhou!

History will definitely write the name of his second viceroy.

He knew that the current Colonel Wang Ding had always wanted to actively participate in the unified action of the Kingdom of France, and he wanted to take the opportunity to prove his strength...... Only by participating in the war in moderation will there be merit, and even if he does not desire it, he must consider the needs of his officers!

The Imperial Army can now only train non-stop on Liberty Island, like a sharp steel knife in their own back garden...... They can't go and capture slaves, they haven't been ordered to go to the Barbary coast to quell pirates, they can only wait!

The Imperial Navy's activity of catching pirates over long distances was a dirty job...... This costs not only military spending, but also time and effort...... Merit and dedication are not directly linked!

So now it can only be the contribution of the imperial army, the profit of business and trade, and the profit of individuals.

So far, the Governor of the Second Lieutenant has only known that the development in other places is not bad, but the specific data is not very clear.

The development and construction on Liberty Island is also good...... But there were no practical benefits to the Federal Reich...... Not only are the warehouses on Liberty Island not full of gold and silver, but the vaults of Yin Di'an and New Oriental are constantly carrying gold, silver and copper coins to the outside.

Of course, he knew the way the lord valued wealth, so there was nothing to worry about.

The second lieutenant often sits on the open balcony on the third floor of the Governor's Palace, smoking a cigar while looking at the sea in the east!

He knew that on the west coast of the Eastern Continent, which he couldn't see, there were hardwood resources that were so dense that it was difficult to walk, and on some plains, there were blacks running back and forth, and even gold and ivory!

The human resources of the French region are still to be used in that place.

The Governor listened to the aid plan drawn up by Colonel Wang Ding and his officers.

The Count of Guy had less than 3,000 cavalry and less than 10,000 infantry in his Flanders' domain, and like Philip IV's army, both sides were cold-armed...... And in terms of sophistication, Count Guy's army was nowhere near that of his opponents.

Colonel Wang Ding's plan was to send a few white junior officers in the army directly, let them change into the clothes of European civilians at this time, and as foreign merchants, carry five hundred fire hat guns and their corresponding ammunition, and twenty cast-iron cannons, and go directly to Flanders' territory to show Count Jar.

Finally, as an arms merchant, guide them against the army of Philip IV!

Those were originally slaves purchased from France, and after they were given the freedom they deserved, most of them rejoined the imperial army directly as citizens of the empire.

At the beginning, when Colonel Wang Ding and his team came to the Liberty Island Group for development and construction, of course, they also intended to draw them out one by one from various units and branches of the military.

The Governor of the Second Junior believed in their combat prowess, but casually asked, "How loyal are they?" At this time, we cannot expose the arrangements of our Federal Empire...... Otherwise, it will not be conducive to our subsequent development......"

Colonel Wang Ding immediately said firmly: "Don't be suspicious! They are already citizens of the Reich...... And all are staunch Imperial officers, and they are all proud of their officer status!! …… Unless the Governor doubts my vision......"

Well, the Governor of the Second Rank scratched his head, and he once again learned the straightness of the soldiers.

What the Governor didn't expect was that his lord's family actually sent five hundred Great Song immigrants here at one time!

That's 500 households, not 500 individuals!

The Governor of the Second Rank was ecstatic, he read the letters that came with the fleet, and knew that they were originally members of the military group of the Lu clan of the Great Song Dynasty.

Five hundred complete families, that means, this is the territory of the Federal Empire!

From this point on, the civilization of the East will really begin here......

Colonel Wang Ding was also very pleased, and said, "This is more useful than a thousand clever plans for us...... They are fundamental. ”

On this night, the Governor of the Second Junior was drunk for the first time.
