After Zhang Lin crossed the Rattlesnake Strait, he began to take the initiative to search in the surrounding seas, there is one of the strongest countries in the world, the Blue Moon Empire, and there are also some borderless lands, of course, these need Zhang Lin to carefully find and discover!

The Hope is running out of fuel, it's time to find a place to replenish living supplies and oil, and then learn about the situation here, thinking of this, Zhang Lin began to look for a harbor that can allow foreign warships to park, I remember that when I was chatting, Smith told himself that in a disputed place between the Blue Moon Empire and the Langley Democratic Republic, that place is now a place that does not belong to any country, and a large number of merchants and outsiders have built a seaport there, where any ship can be allowed to anchor, Go there and resupply the Hope, and ask for information here!

After thinking of where to go, Zhang Lin took out the map and took a closer look at the situation here, a total of seventeen countries are distributed here, among which the Blue Moon Empire and the Langley Democratic Republic are the largest, and the national strength is roughly the same, and the other countries are smaller in size, and the national strength is not the same, since the last world war, the territory of the countries in the world is basically determined, and the last world war has led to serious economic and demographic losses in various countries, and finally the countries have united and agreed on some peacekeeping treaties, However, now the strength of all countries has been restored, just like the war between the Reims Empire and the Aslan Empire some time ago, the war forces of various countries have begun to actively prepare for war, and the apparent peace does not know how long it will last!

According to the annotation of the map, the Hope traveled for four days and came to Mingyue Bay, which is a pearl on the sea, Mingyue Port attracts a large number of merchants, and there are also a large number of pirates, and the merchants here have also hired a large number of mercenaries to exterminate the pirates, but the effect is not great, each time it can only be calm for a while, and it won't be long before those pirates will come back, so that these merchants will not get tired of it, there is no way to eradicate pirates!

The Hope had just anchored in Mingyue Harbor, and Zhang Lin was about to go to an arms dealer and ask him to maintain the Hope, but before Zhang Lin could find it, someone came to the door, "Dear sir, please forgive me for taking the liberty of interrupting, please ask if you have time to talk to me, it may be good news for you!" ”

Zhang Lin looked at the polite middle-aged man in front of him a little inexplicably, "What are you looking for me?" ”

"My name is Reed, I'm a merchant, that's right, we merchants are united to find some mercenaries to exterminate the pirates, of course, it's not for you to contribute in vain, you will get a lot of money, and everything captured belongs to you, how about it, are you interested?" Reed said to Zhang Lin, this young man's battleship has known by himself, it is a new type of destroyer that has just been sold to the outside world this year, and he has not found a single person, and the other merchants have already found mercenaries, and if he doesn't look for it, he will not be able to explain it to other businessmen, and it will be difficult to mix here in the future!

Hearing this, Zhang Lin was very moved in his heart, but he was still expressionless, only in this way could he maximize his own interests, "I'm sorry Mr. Reed, I don't have any interest in what you said, you better go find someone else!" ”

"Oh no, this gentleman, don't refuse my proposal first, it's not too late to listen to the commission before making a decision, 100,000 gold coins, no matter whether you find a pirate this time or not, as long as you participate in this operation, you can get 100,000 gold coins, I'm very serious! Definitely won't deceive you. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Reed was a little anxious at this point.

"100,000 gold coins? I'm sorry Mr. Reed, I don't think there's such a good thing, you better go find someone else! Zhang Lin knew that this guy hadn't said his bottom line yet, after all, the other party was a businessman, and no one would be smarter than these people in business, so he had to be careful to make him say the highest commission, otherwise it was likely that these cunning businessmen would be deceived.

"Then how much do you think you can participate, I really sincerely invite you, please believe in my sincerity, the conditions can still be discussed." Reed is really a little anxious, but he can't take care of it so much, after all, there is not much time, he goes there to find other mercenaries, he has a lot of business here, if he doesn't participate in this operation, that kind of loss is unbearable, and he must let Zhang Lin go with him.

Reed gritted his teeth, "150,000 gold coins, how about it?" ”

Zhang Lin smiled, shook his head, and expressed his unwillingness.

"170,000 gold coins, that's a lot." When Reed said the number of gold coins, his face was already very ugly, but Zhang Lin still didn't nod in agreement.

In the end, Zhang Lin stretched out two fingers, "I'll go for 200,000 gold coins, if you think it's okay." ”

"II...... Two hundred thousand. Reed couldn't speak anymore, "That's too much!" With all due respect, sir, I can't accept it. ”

"Then there's nothing I can do to help, Mr. Reed, and I'm leaving." After Zhang Lin finished speaking, he was about to leave.

Seeing that Zhang Lin was leaving, Reed finally seemed to have made a decision, and his face returned to normal, "I promise you, I admire you very much, your negotiation methods are very clever, according to the price you said, 200,000, tomorrow in the moonlit night bar, I will pay 20% of the remuneration first, and I will pay you the rest when the action is over, everyone who participates in this operation will go, the entire bar has been covered by us, you go and report my name." I don't know your first name. ”

Zhang Lin nodded to indicate that he knew, "My name is Zhang Lin, and you will feel worthwhile for your choice." ”

Reed turned to leave, Zhang Lin began to find the arms dealers, ready to fill the Hope with fuel, complete some daily maintenance, in the harbor, there is never a shortage of arms dealers, Zhang Lin found three arms dealers, after listening to their offers, Zhang Lin chose the most cost-effective, these arms dealers are extremely black, other places to maintain, about six thousand gold coins, the least asked Zhang Lin here for 11,000 gold coins, directly made Zhang Lin speechless.

However, these businessmen will not cheat in maintaining quality, these are very reassuring, once the agreement is reached, they will complete the customer's requirements as quickly as possible, Zhang Lin has just paid 50% of the cost to the arms dealer, the staff who maintain the battleship has come, and quickly began to maintain the Hope, Zhang Lin gave the sailors of the Hope a brief vacation, so that they can relax, Zhang Lin also went to the city to see, by the way, to inquire about the information, to find out the current situation here, to carry out your own plan.
