Chapter 1113: A Fulcrum

Li Zhen was quite surprised when he heard Titch's words.

After discussing with Scott, Chen Yucheng, Liu Jintang and others, Li Zhen had already deduced that Kamehameha IV had set a trap and invited Titch to go. The reason why Li Zhen didn't remind Titch was because he had the intention of giving Titch a favor, hoping that Titch would stand on Li Zhen's side more firmly and protect the Chinese merchant ships at sea more firmly, but Li Zhen didn't expect Titch to take refuge directly.

The effect was beyond his expectations.

Li Zhen said: "I have the help of Captain Tiqi, and China's power at sea is like a tiger with wings, and I welcome it." ”

Titch saluted Li Zhen, and his expression was already the posture of a subordinate to a superior.

Tiki is a pirate, but that doesn't mean heckless. Now that the identities of the two sides have changed, he himself immediately changed the way he gets along with Li Zhen. Titch changed his words and asked a little respectfully: "President, I was going to kill the soldiers of the Hawaiian Kingdom at that time, and you spoke to stop it." Now that the soldiers of the Hawaiian Kingdom are imprisoned on the island, what are you going to do? ”

Li Zhen said: "Don't kill any of them, leave them all, this is an excuse for you to enter the Hawaiian Kingdom." ”

Titch pointed to his nose with a look of disbelief and asked, "You said me?" ”

Li Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, it's you." ”

Titch shook his head one after another, and hurriedly said, "I can't, definitely not." If you let me rob and fight, I will definitely not frown and will not mess things up. But if I am asked to govern a country, it will definitely make the people's livelihood miserable, and the people will have to rebel together. President, if I can't do it, you let the rest of the people do it, even Thomson does it better than me. ”

Li Zhen chuckled lightly and said, "I didn't say that you should govern the Hawaii Kingdom, besides, there are still big problems in even capturing the Hawaii Kingdom. But it's up to you to take over. ”

Confused, Titch asked, "What the hell do you mean?" ”

Li Zhen explained: "This time, King Kamehameha IV designed to frame you, and I asked you to take this opportunity to take the Kingdom of Hawaii through a series of arrangements, and turn to China to serve and become a part of China." When the time comes, I'll send someone to govern the island nation of Hawaii, and you'll still be at sea with pirates. You can rest assured, it won't bother you. ”

Titch laughed, "That's pretty much it! ”

His face was full of smiles, and his heart was ready to move.

Attacking a kingdom is a big move.

When he led a group of pirates to attack San Francisco, the movement was very large. Just this one thing, Titch is already a big hit in the pirate world. Pirates have robbed money, seized treasures, and dared to attack the warships of various countries and royal merchant ships, but few people attacked a country like him. There is no doubt that Li Zhen's proposal impressed the great pirate Teach.

Tiqi was eager to immediately send troops to attack, and said: "President, I will immediately go and gather all the pirates under my command, and then take a boat to attack the Hawaiian Kingdom!" ”

Li Zhen stretched out his hand to stop it and said, "Don't worry! Didn't you listen to what I just said? It takes a series of arrangements! ”

Titch asked, "What do you have to command?" ”

Li Zhen motioned for Titch to sit down before saying, "Attacking the Hawaiian Kingdom is not a simple matter. Do you think that just your pirates will be able to gain a foothold on the island of Hawaii? ”

Tiqi held his head high, confident and calm, and said firmly: "President, you can't underestimate the strength of the Tiqi Pirate Regiment. Anyway, our pirate group has thousands of people, and with your weapons and brothers, they are all brave men. With such a powerful and hard-working pirate group, it is still possible to attack the Hawaiian Kingdom. ”

Li Zhen nodded and said affirmatively: "If the Tiqi Pirate Regiment attacks the Hawaiian Kingdom alone, I don't doubt it. With the strength of the Tiki Pirate Regiment, and now that Kamehameha IV has been killed, the country must be **, so I believe that the Kingdom of Hawaii can be taken. However, there are forces of the American Commonwealth and powers of England on the island. ”

After a pause, Li Zhen continued: "If the Tiqi pirate group makes a move, the two countries will definitely not sit idly by, are you confident that you can block the forces of the two countries?" Even, France has some forces on the island, and it may also intervene. Hawaii Island is a fulcrum, once it is leveraged, the impact will be very large, and there will be major forces to intervene. It's hard to stabilize the situation in the Kingdom of Hawaii, and your pirate group isn't enough! ”

After hearing this, Titch's brow furrowed into a Sichuan character.

To be the leader of a pirate regiment, Titch clearly has enough ability.

He figured out what was at stake. Titch obviously felt that this matter was very complicated, and after thinking for a while, he couldn't think of a solution, and said: "President, it's easy to solve, you directly sent a fleet to land on Hawaii Island, and occupied this small place the size of a palm." Who is against, who are we destroying, do you say no? ”

Li Zhenqiang smiled to himself, shook his head and said, "Captain Titch, it's not so easy!" ”

"Why?" Titch asked.

Li Zhen sighed lightly and said, "You are your own person, I don't hide it from you." On the land of China, I can easily defeat the armies of various countries, that is because there is a lot of strategic depth, which can give me enough opportunities to defeat the armies of various countries, so it is not difficult to defeat the armies of various countries, after all, land warfare is our specialty. ”

"However, at sea, we are not strong."

"Take the Netherlands as an example, the Netherlands is an old maritime hegemon, and the former 'sea coachman', although its strength has declined, should not be underestimated. England is the hegemon that dominates the sea, and the rest of France, Italy, etc., are also very strong at sea, which is their specialty. On the soil of China, the armies of various countries will surely defeat us by attacking our strengths with their own shortcomings. At sea, China's strength is lacking! Hard-hitting, most likely, the defeat of our army. ”

Li Zhen said the gap between the two sides without the slightest concealment.

After listening to this, Titch did not feel decadent in his heart, but was very moved and motivated.

Li Zhen told him the truth and was willing to tell him the truth, which made him feel very comfortable. In addition, Li Zhenneng is clearly aware of his own shortcomings and strengths, his brain is clear, and Titch feels that he is not looking for the wrong person. Titch is a pirate and has always worked hard at sea, and now Li Zhen's strength at sea is weak, and he has a place to use, which makes Titch even more excited.

Titch said with high morale: "President, it doesn't matter if you don't have enough strength, you can develop!" ”

Li Zhen nodded and said, "Well said, as long as you are willing to develop, you will definitely get better." However, the current affairs regarding the Kingdom of Hawaii must be well planned. ”

Titch asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Li Zhen thought for a while and said solemnly: "On the way back from the island, I have been thinking about how to deal with it, but I have not yet formed a detailed solution. Captain Titch, put down the news of Kamethameha IV for the time being, give me two days to think about it, and then I will give you an answer. I won't be returning to China for a while, so I'll settle the matter of the Hawaiian Kingdom first. ”

"Good! I wait for your news. ”

Tiqi left with interest, leaving the space to Li Zhen.
