"Oh, war! Who are you fighting against? What a coincidence, I'm also at war! I would venture to ask, do you need my help? Hong Tao took a cigar in his mouth and drank the wine in the cup, and took the third master in front of him as a teaseful object, and followed them first, to see how long they could endure it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"If Your Majesty can remove these warships, our family's battle will be over!" Before the old earl could speak, one of his sons could not help himself.

"Otto! Shut your mouth! Your Majesty, please forgive him, he is not accusing Your Majesty. However, I do wonder how His Majesty could have had a misunderstanding with our family's fleet, and if we had known that His Majesty was on the other side, we wouldn't have had to engage in such a senseless fight. Henry II sternly stopped his son's attempt to continue, but continued his son's conversation.

"Hahahaha...... Your Excellency, let's still have something to say, everyone's time is precious, and in our country, wasting the emperor's time is a felony! Otto: yes? You are absolutely right, as long as I withdraw, the battle will be over, but I will not withdraw until my conditions are met. But my army is not here to attack the Earl of Nassau, but only to take revenge on an alliance called the Flemish Hanseatic League. It attacked the ships of our country at sea and also captured my sailors. It's just that I didn't expect that His Excellency the Earl's fleet would also fight with them, can you explain to me the reason for this? Lad! Hong Tao was also annoyed with the old earl, their patience was really enough, and they talked for more than half an hour, and they didn't mention the matter of peace talks.

"Your Majesty, I think there should be a misunderstanding here, we attacked Count Karl's ships, and we didn't do anything rude to Your Majesty's fleet." As soon as it came to the specific issue, Henry II immediately became serious, resolutely refused to admit that he was the instigator of the war, and questioned Hong Tao's statement.

"The misunderstanding should also be you, your Excellency, and your allies, Count Carl's ships and sailors were lent to him by me. As you may know, I have a deep relationship with Count Karl, who was captured during his crusade and exiled to my country, and I ransomed him from the Great Cannibal, and then sent him back to the Mediterranean, and lent him a sum of money to build Karlburg. We are friends, but we can't be sloppy with money, and in order to protect his reputation, he must pay me back the money, so I lent him ships and sailors, and let him pay off his debts by whaling, and you have no objection to this, right? "It is a very unwise choice to reason with Hong Tao, who has the absolute upper hand, it is better to hug his thighs and cry about how miserable he is, maybe that sentence will go to Hong Tao's heart, and he can let go of your hand and let you pass. If you want to judge the merits with him, he can start from 500 years ago, and in the end you ignore it.

“…… If we are willing to compensate His Majesty for his losses, can His Majesty withdraw his troops? "What is the relationship between Hong Tao and Karl, except for Jiang Zhuyi, even Friedrich II is not particularly clear, so this issue cannot be discussed, and Henry II can only admit Hong Tao's statement.

"I don't think it's just money that can be solved, attacking the Emperor's ships is a capital offense in my country, and it must be hanged in the harbor, and even the collection of corpses is not allowed. All those involved in this matter will be hanged, and the whole family will be involved, which is called family raiding and exterminating the family in my country, understand? The entire family will be killed, and not a single one will be left! "Withdrawal? If you want to be beautiful, give a few money and send it away, when you are called Hanako!

It seems that the three men don't plan to admit defeat at all, they want to come up with a delaying tactic, fool themselves away, and then evacuate these ships, reduce losses, and make a comeback later. Since they want to calculate themselves, then you are welcome, scare and scare them first. In order to make what he said more convincing, Hong Tao borrowed all the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, and used his palm as a knife as he spoke, making a gesture of beheading, and the expression on his face was as hideous as it was.

"Your Majesty may have forgotten that this is not Your Majesty's country, and if Your Majesty thinks that this matter should be settled according to the law, we may as well go to the King of Germany and have him pass a fair judgment. Or go to the emperor, the emperor should not be biased towards anyone, and your personal relationship with the emperor is also a guarantee, what do you think? "Henry II's words are very thief, he wants to magnify a war to the level of the state and the empire, and it is also a disguised warning to Hong Tao not to do whatever he wants, this is Europe!

"Hahahaha...... Do you really think that the King of Germany and the Emperor of Germany can control me? Not to mention the two of them, even if Louis IX, Henry III and the Pope were called together, they would not be qualified to judge the legality of my actions as an emperor. You probably don't know yet, do you? I was not only the Emperor, but also the Commander of the Imperial Navy. My captains once asked me a question, and they wanted to know where the borders of the empire were, because my empire was so big that it was about to swallow up all the great food countries. I told them that the borders of the Empire were within the longest range of the guns of their warships. Do you understand? In my laws, whoever is defeated by me can only be judged according to my law, and I can do what I say. If you don't accept it, you can defeat me, but until then, I advise you to listen to me. This is my condition for withdrawing troops, take it back and discuss with the people in your alliance how to reply. I don't rush you, you discuss slowly, I'll move forward slowly, when you have a good discussion, tell me and it's done. Please, three distinguished gentlemen, it is time for you to disembark, I have to hurry. "As soon as he heard that he was going to talk to him about the law, Hong Tao was happy, this place should not be far from The Hague, if necessary, he could set up a court there, and then act as an earth judge, arrest them all, convict them of war crimes or something, and then hang them on the beach shelf. It's really funny, the battle has come to this point, and Nima came to talk to him about the law, it seems that if they don't let them know what pain is, they won't be willing to admit defeat.

"Forgive me for taking the liberty of conquering the city with warships? It is better for both sides to take a step back and come up with conditions that are acceptable to both parties. If Your Majesty wishes, we may be able to cooperate. It is always more interesting for His Majesty to supply the goods of the East, and we are responsible for the sale, than to war. Even though Hong Tao ordered the expulsion of the guests, Henry II was still bargaining, and gave Hong Tao another reminder that the warship could not go ashore.

"If I wanted to do business here, I would have done it a long time ago, not until now. I need to tell you now about a rule, my rules, and the harm of not following them. Unfortunately, Flemish Hanseasa was the first offender to be punished, and in order for this rule to be taken seriously in the future, the punishment must be severe. My terms will not change, and I would like to ask the Earl to tell the rest of the alliance that war is inevitable, unless they can agree to all my terms at once, which I find a bit difficult. So I'm more inclined to do it myself and show them what punishment is, so that they can be more impressed in the future. Ready to lift anchor and hoist the sails! "Now no one can persuade Hong Tao to stop the war, and finally have a chance to have fun without scruples, maybe it will be the last time, Hong Tao is definitely not willing to miss it. He wants to treat this place as a port of Kalamba, and let the people here remember him once, and every time he thinks about something, he will remember the pain of this heart-piercing.

Before the Earl of Nassau and his son could return to their dhow, Hong Tao's fleet began to advance slowly. Taking advantage of the hour of negotiation just now, the landing force had already sorted out its equipment and supplies, left the landing site one after another, and searched and advanced eastward along the river bank, by which time the advance had already walked five kilometers away.

These Indians, who were accustomed to drilling in the rainforest and mountains, were more suitable for the army according to Hong Tao's opinion. Because they are accustomed to walking on foot in almost all road conditions, as long as the climate is not too cold, the equipment they carry is not too heavy, and they can walk five or six kilometers an hour without sweating. In particular, these land forces, which are similar to the Marine Corps, usually do not even need to carry more rations because they have warships to serve as logistical supplies, and they are not considered light infantry with bullet belts and drinking water on their backs, and it is not difficult to deal with the grassy and shrubland terrain in the lowlands of Europe.

In order to keep the infantry from getting too far away from the fleet, Hong Tao had to have the lookout launch a large drill monkey from the mast, which was used to remind the infantry of the distance from the fleet. This method of communication was also thought of by Hong Tao by chance, it was originally used to communicate with each other during the march in the jungle, but now it is better used in the plains, where not only can you hear the sound, but you can also see the smoke from the explosion.

After another ten kilometers or so, the river came to an end. Just seven or eight kilometers away, the anchorage of dozens of sailing ships is impressive, and beyond that is a shipyard with many tall booms, and a castle on a high ground two or three kilometers from the shipyard.

It seems that this small port called Berchenopzom has long been upgraded and used as a very important military port by Flanders and Hansea. From there, their fleet departed from England on the opposite side, and in three or four days south to the west mouth of the Strait of Gibraltar, and to the north was Jutland, the only sea passage between the Baltic and North Seas. With this naval base, the Flemish Hanseatic will not only be able to control the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, but also go south into the Mediterranean, and the strategic location is important.
