Antonio was also a well-known merchant in Luzon, and had some connections with the Spanish Viceroyalty in Luzon, otherwise he would not have been able to transport the gold from the Governor's Palace. It's just that the loss of 200 kilograms of gold this time still hurts him. Two hundred kilograms of gold is equivalent to more than 27,000 pounds sterling, 380,000 Spanish pesos. That's a lot of money in this day and age. Antonio has worked hard for most of his life, and there is only so much wealth he has accumulated!

For the two hundred kilograms of gold, Antonio has no hope of coming back, and when it comes to the pirates, is it possible to get it back? As long as you can save a life, wealth and the like can always be earned. Long Yufei asked to buy machinery and equipment, and Antonio was worried that Long Yufei would not pay the bill, in this case, even if he had more family property, he would not be able to withstand it.

"Sir, don't worry, as long as I have money, even if it's a first-class battleship, I can buy it!" Antonio patted his chest and reassured.

In this regard, Long Yufei didn't pay much attention to it. The warships of the Kingdom of Spain, although their performance is good, they are not very eye-catching. To be precise, this kind of battleship equipped with old breech guns, he is not eye-catching. The breech guns were less powerful, with a range of only two or three thousand meters at most, and decisive battles between battleships at sea were usually fought at a distance of five hundred meters or even closer. As long as breech guns can be developed, it is completely possible to make up for the gap in the number of artillery pieces through range and power! In addition, the cost of a first-class battleship is as high as 100,000 pounds, and the price will definitely be higher, and it is estimated that with all the belongings of Flying Fish Island, it is estimated that they cannot afford one. Therefore, a first-class battleship or something, forget it!

"Forget about the first class battleship, now what I need is industrial machinery! Your Excellency, Captain, don't worry, I will guarantee to give you normal profits, and I will not let you lose money! I hope that the transaction between us will continue for a long time! In the future, I will be able to handle the purchase of all kinds of materials I need, as well as the sale of the goods we have! Long Yufei said.

Captain Antonio nodded repeatedly, and his eyes seemed to see the gold coin glittering. He knew what Long Yufei meant, and in the future, all the goods looted by Long Yufei's pirate gang would be handed over to him for sale, which meant a huge fortune! Pirates often don't care too much about the price in order to get rid of their goods, which means that he can get them at a low price and make a good profit!

"Sir, I assure you, our cooperation will be very pleasant!" Captain Antonio said excitedly. Although he lost a lot this time, he didn't care anymore. If he can join forces with the pirates of Flying Fish Island, as the pirates of Flying Fish Island become stronger and stronger, he will also be able to make more profits, and maybe he will be able to earn much more wealth than this loss!

"Very well, Your Excellency Captain Antonio, we have a good time working together!" Long Yufei smiled and stretched out his hand.

The two people's hands are shaking together, which represents the official establishment of the partnership. Captain Antonio has also officially been promoted from a prisoner to a partner in the Pirates of Flying Fish, or a representative.

"Your Excellency, in order to guarantee our cooperation, you need to sign this document!" Long Yufei took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket and handed them to Captain Antonio.

"Is it a cooperation contract?" Antonio took it and looked at it, but then, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot!

"Mr. Long, you don't trust me, I will never sign it!" Antonio shouted. But then, after feeling the coldness of the steel knife around his neck, his cry immediately stopped, like a male duck pinched by the throat!

"Your Excellency, I have no other way! For our safety, you have only two options, sign this document and cooperate with us, or we will kill you and throw you into the sea to feed the fish! Long Yufei restrained his smile and said coldly. The document he asked Antonio to sign, a confession to be exact, which detailed the crime of Captain Antonio in colluding with the pirates of Exyfish Island to rob the British Navy cruiser Coventry and killing more than 100 British naval officers and men. If Antonio had signed, it would have confirmed that he was an ally of the Flying Fish pirates. Once known to the British Navy, Antonio is dead!

"No! It was you who killed the British Navy and robbed the warship, it has nothing to do with me, I was forced! Captain Antonio retorted. He knew that after signing this confession, his fate was in the hands of these pirates, and he didn't want that.

"Your Excellency, as long as we maintain close cooperation, this confession will not be in the hands of the British! If you refuse to sign, do you intend to report to the Governor when you return to Manila, and then let the Spanish navy's fleet in Luzon destroy us? Long Yufei said coldly.

Captain Antonio's heart tightened, he really planned to do so. Although Spain was defeated by the British and had no power to fight back, and the fleet stationed in Luzon was only a small fleet with more than a dozen warships, and there was not a single battleship above the third class, there was still no problem in dealing with the pirates of Flying Fish Island. But he didn't expect that Long Yufei would actually come up with such a way to counter him!

"Mr. Long, I swear to God that I will never tell the Governor, that will not do me any good. We're allies from now on, and you can't treat allies like that! Captain Antonio said.

However, Long Yufei shook his head, he clearly knew the ugly faces of these merchants, if there was no way to counter them, maybe the next time Antonio came to Flying Fish Island, he would follow the Spanish Navy's fleet in Luzon.

"Captain Antonio, sign or not, the choice is yours!" Long Yufei said coldly.

Feeling the coldness of the steel knife on his neck that penetrates deep into the bone marrow, does Antonio have any other choice? Although he couldn't see these pirates on Takefish Island from the bottom of his heart, in the current situation, he still lowered his noble head and signed the confession.

Seeing that Antonio had signed the confession, Long Yufei nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Captain Antonio, I will send this confession to my British friend!" If something happens to me, he'll give this confession to the British Navy! Therefore, Your Excellency the Captain had better not think of playing tricks! ”

Antonio was stunned for a moment, then nodded. Originally, he also planned to rely on the Spanish Navy to destroy Flying Fish Island and then retrieve the confession. But now it seems that it is completely impossible.

A day later, Antonio and a few henchmen sailed out of Flying Fish Island, where they would return to Manila. As for how Antonio fooled the Spanish governor in Luzon, this is a lot of things that Long Yufei is concerned about. He only cared that within a month, the food, medicine, and machinery and equipment he purchased would be sent to Flying Fish Island. When the time comes, the pirates of Flying Fish Island will migrate to Mindanao.

While Long Yufei was busy procuring the materials he needed, Luo Sangu, Zhao Yi, Li Decheng, Niu Meng and others also began to introduce the next plan to the other pirates on Flying Fish Island. As expected, the whole plan caused an uproar on Flying Fish Island. The big boss is not a pirate, which makes the pirates very confused. However, the vast majority of people, especially those who are older, are still supportive. Everyone is deeply aware of the dangers of being a pirate, if you can live a peaceful life, then what's not to worry about? Besides, if it is really as Luo Sangu and others depicted, they will migrate to a place with fertile land and vast fertile fields, then they will definitely be able to live a good life. You must know that many pirates embarked on this road because they couldn't get by. Only a handful of people are willing to remain pirates!

At the same time, under the leadership of Long Yufei, the pirates on Flying Fish Island were also integrated, and more than 200 people were transferred from hardcover to firearms training. With the strong support of Luo Sangu and Niu Meng, although the pirates were a little reluctant, they had to follow honestly and conduct firearms training at the request of Long Yufei. Although they prefer to use steel knives, under strict training, their marksmanship begins to improve slowly.

Long Yufei also led by example and joined the training, which made the pirates think a lot more highly of him, and also made Long Yufei integrate into the entire group.

More than half a month later, Antonio came to Flying Fish Island again. This time, he also brought two merchant ships with him. It's just that, for the sake of secrecy, these merchant ships anchored hundreds of miles away from Flying Fish Island, and the ships of Flying Fish Island went to receive the goods. This time, Antonio brought 50,000 catties of grain, three small and medium-sized steam engines, several machine tools, a set of steel-making equipment and a set of non-ferrous metal smelting equipment to Flying Fish Island. And Flying Fish Island also paid a hundred kilograms of gold for this. This time the transaction went very smoothly, which made Antonio very satisfied!

In addition, Long Yufei also placed new orders, large steam engines, more industrial equipment, as well as gunpowder and lead bullets. Until Flying Fish Island has the ability to manufacture weapons on its own, the purchase of ammunition from outside is inevitable.

Once everything was ready, the Flying Fish Island began to migrate. Under the leadership of the "Flying Fish" (the British Navy's cruiser "Coventry"), more than 20 ships of all sizes left the island and headed for Mindanao, carrying thousands of people and their belongings!
