Chapter 45: Encounter
"Captain, a fleet is approaching!"
"I know ......"
"I don't know the flag on there, but it's kind of like the flag of the royal family in St. Orlando!"
"I know ......"
"Captain......
"Don't talk about it! It's not that Lao Tzu doesn't have binoculars, and the people who come over there are all St. Orlando, don't you see that they are all transports!? ”
Hearing the roar of his own captain, the sailor decisively chose to lower his head and not look at the old man's stinky face. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Heine rubbed his brow a little irritably, he didn't know why St. Orlando had come to the East, could it be that the civil war in their country was over?
Even if it's over, it's not good news for these exiles - after all, the rebellion in the country has taken over to the puppet Emperor Clovis, and who knows what they will want to do.
But when he met these guys and didn't run away or fire at the first time, Heine felt that things were a little strange, "Wave the flag!" Ask the other person for who they are and for what they are for! ”
"Understood!"
Lorraine is also worried about how to contact the Riberians, "There seems to be a problem with their contact, does anyone know the flag?" ”
The captain shrugged, "The flags are different from country to country, are you sure you want to use them?" ”
"This ......"
"Lorraine, and you navy scumbags, you should make up for the lessons!" Alexander impatiently pulled the signal flag, "Riberico's flag system is something that all countries have to learn, you don't even know it!" ”
"I'm really sorry, I'll have to make up for it when I rest, it's up to you now, Brother Alexander."
Alexander made a stinky face and used the signal banner to contact the Riberians, and soon it became clear to them that they were not here to fight, but to trade.
"Deal? St. Orlando wants to trade with us? ”
"Yes Captain! At least that's what the flag says. ”
"It's not right, didn't the old man Dongying say that tens of thousands of Xiyi came before, and he became a mercenary of Oda Nobunaga, how could he still come to trade at this time?"
"I don't know......"
The officers around him began to discuss, and the divergence of opinions really made Heine very uncomfortable.
"In that case, send a warship out and talk to them face to face!" After frowning and barely listening for a while, Heine finally couldn't bear it anymore and gave the order very simply.
"But Captain, if they conspire again......"
"What can a group of transports do to us!" Slapped the railing and scolded, "I can't think of it if it's a little risky, are you still warriors?" We still have six warships here, and it's not like the sky is falling, and you're the only one on top! ”
"Okay, okay, listen to your captain."
So one of the most unlucky cruisers was sent out to carry out the execution, no, to spy on the armed forces and contact St. Orlando to find out what they were going to do.
In the face of the vigilance and distrust of the Riberians, Lorraine expressed his approval, after all, not everyone will encounter such a thing - the enemy is not here to fight, but to trade!
"They're coming, Lorraine, what are you going to do?"
"Honestly, of course."
"Then you can try it......"
The battleship that came to the front of the Eastern Army was full of vigilance, and stopped at a distance of five hundred meters from Lorraine, and released a small boat to negotiate.
Then there was an embarrassing picture - Lorraine led a group of people in front of them, "Welcome to the Eastern Fleet of Brittany, I am the commander Admiral Lorraine Taylor, we are here to trade." ”
The people on the dinghy didn't say a word for a long time, and the amount of information in this opening was really a bit large, so that the leading officer said very cowardly: "Huh? ”
As the exchange progressed, the Riberians finally figured out who this group was, and it was actually the Bretanians who had just formed the New World.
"I really didn't expect that little princess of St. Orlando to be able to build a new kingdom." Heine said to Lorraine a little uncomfortably, since the misunderstanding was resolved, of course the two sides began to communicate amicably.
"It took us a lot of time to set up a new country, there are too many stories in it to tell, I don't know if you are willing to trade with us now, Admiral Catherine and I are old acquaintances."
"This ...... Of course, the transaction is required, but what exactly is needed has to ask His Excellency the Admiral......"
"I think I can trade some now, and it's clear when you look at the soldiers' private deals."
Heine covered his face and didn't want to look at it, he naturally knew that the sailors were not having a good time these days, the question was whether you could hide in a hidden place and trade!
The Riberians plundered Kyoto and got quite a lot of good goods, but they couldn't find a way to make a move for a while, just as the Bretanians came.
If you can meet people from Western countries in a foreign country, you will naturally tend to trade with Lorraine, and it is a little too cheap to exchange just six cans of spam for an antique incense burner.
"This, let you see the joke, the nest soldiers I brought out have not seen the world for too long, so that ......"
"It's okay, Riberia's plight is sympathetic, it's just that there is nothing to eat."
Heine nodded gratefully to Lorraine, it was great to have a staircase down, just take this opportunity to restrain the sailors, don't go back to Kyoto Port and look like this.
It's just that when the patrol fleet and the Eastern Army came to the port of Kyoto together, Lorraine was still frightened by the ruins here, and the original cultural capital of Dongying is now a pile of wreckage.
Not to mention seeing the old acquaintance Admiral Catherine, the serious and unrestrained female general in memory, wearing a crumpled general's uniform at the moment, and her body was dirty like a pirate.
Admiral Catherine has always had a very positive image in Lorraine's mind, and after the separation from the Korsaland Peninsula, the ill-fated female general led her men to fight the pirates on the vast oceans, while doing everything possible to deal with the guns and arrows of the rear demolitionists, and after exile, to raise food and supplies for displaced refugees.
However, at the age of thirty, she was already so tired that her hair turned gray, her body bones were not as tough as back then, and she was covered with chronic diseases.
Although Admiral Catherine suffered a lot, and ran from the west to the east with the exile fleet, and the whole fleet was full of problems, the plundering of Kyoto finally allowed the Riberians to breathe a sigh of relief and rest.
"Long time no see, Admiral Catherine." Even though there were a thousand words, all Lorraine said in the end was to say hello.
"It's been a long time...... It seems that you and that little girl are doing a good job in the New World, and you have also mixed up with the general. ”
"Yes, I am now the commander of the Eastern Expeditionary Force in Brittanya, an army general."
"Hmm...... Okay, let's talk about it then, what the hell are you trying to do with so many people? ”
"I want to trade with you, and by the way, I will act for the people of Dongying, are you interested in cheating money together?"
Catherine gave Lorraine a strange look and stretched out her hand, "...... It's kind of interesting, so come over here and tell me more about your plans. ”
