"Grandpa!"

"Mother!"

"Imperial Ancestor!"

Several other Ming-class ship mothers shouted in shock.

"A few of you, too, come over and salute me to the young man." After Hongwu bowed, he got up and said to his daughters.

"Why? Wait a minute! I understand! Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Yongle, I would like to thank Mr. Karl for saving our Yanhuang people! Yongle didn't understand why her mother suddenly bowed to Carl three times and bowed nine times at first, but then she reacted and followed the salute.

was reminded by Yongle like this, and the rest of the Ming-class ship girls also reacted. They all announced their names, and then followed Hongwu and saluted Karl.

Karl was stunned by their behavior, and only after they had finished saluting did he ask, "Miss Hongwu, who are you?" ”

"Didn't I say that before? On behalf of the 700 million Yan and Huang ethnic groups, thank you for your help to us. If the Governor is captured and polluted, the situation that has been so hard to stabilize in the entire Asian theater will be broken immediately! And the consequence of this is that among me or my daughters, there will definitely be people who die in battle. Whether it's for the sake of the world, or for me and my daughters, young man, you deserve my worship! Hongwu explained to Carl solemnly.

"Miss Hongwu, you are really serious! These are just gestures, and as any imperial nobleman with a conscience and a sense of justice, he will not stand idly by in the face of such a situation. I just did what I had to do, and I wouldn't do it if something I couldn't do, or if it was beyond my power. You can thank me for such a great gift on behalf of countless people throughout the Asian theater of operations, and I will tell you some truths. ”

"Actually, if I had judged that the strength of our rescue fleet alone would not be enough to solve this matter, I would have taken Richelieu, Missouri, Zao, Yamato, and Lin Xiaoxi with them out of self-preservation. Never do more than you can do, and don't promise more than you can do. This is an ancient creed that the nobles of the empire have known since birth. I just did what I could, nothing more. Karl said to Hongwu very sincerely.

"Hahahahahahaha Hong Wu suddenly burst out laughing.

Just when Carl thought she was trying to toss some moth again, she suddenly stopped laughing.

Hong Wu said to Carl with a smile on his face and appreciation in his eyes: "Young man, I am really more and more optimistic about you!" If it were someone else, those guys would choose to give all sorts of hypocritical answers, if not out of profit, out of greed for me and my daughters' peerless looks. But you kid is telling me the truth, if you choose to protect yourself when you can't intervene. Hahaha! Not bad! Not bad! ”

Carl thought she was talking back to him, but he did think so at the time. If the deep sea Yaoji is powerful, he can only take Anne and a group of ship girls who have a good relationship with him to run away directly under the cover of the marines. At most, bring the African governors who have a good relationship with themselves and others, as for the others? I'm sorry, but who are you? Is it my business to live or die? Do I know you well? If you are not familiar with it, why should you consume the lives of Imperial Marines for the sake of the justice of some Rausch?

So at that time, without anyone knowing, he, Anne and General Bock discussed a last resort.

That is, to intervene for the time being, and if it is not possible, then directly take Richelieu and the African governor and chief of Africa who led him into the profession of admiral to leave, and give up the others for the time being.

He Karl and the Emma Empire are not saints, they don't spend too much energy on a planet that has nothing to do with the Empire.

As for the fact that the African governors will resent them after that? He saved Carl at the beginning, and now Carl has saved him. The saving grace has canceled each other out, and the two do not owe each other. Of course, Karl was not a merciless person, and he would leave a large number of Marine military supplies to the African governor, including all kinds of light and heavy weapons and equipment and corresponding ammunition.

These military supplies were originally designed to deal with all kinds of situations that might happen on the planet, from crystal fusion grenades to heavy Gatling quad-barreled laser cannons. It's all there, and the total value is in the tens of billions if you use ISK. All this is far beyond the current military supplies of the ship world, and it is completely worthy of the help that the African governor gave to Carl in the first place.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the African governor wants to learn from a certain sect leader after obtaining this batch of military supplies, play a thousand generations, and a bucket of paste, this can really be successful.

"Can the young man be talking the opposite for me? I just really appreciate your character, young man. It's much better than those sour Confucians who are full of morality all day long, but in fact they are full of male thieves and prostitutes! If it weren't for those sour Confucians, why would my Ming Dynasty have fallen to such a state! Why has Shenzhou been ridiculed by those Western barbarians for so long! The slaves of the three islands dare to reach out to Shenzhou! If I were still here, I would definitely kill all those Japanese slaves! A bunch of unfamiliar white-eyed wolves! It would be nice if all of these small vassal states were as good as North Korea! Alas! The killing intent on Hong Wu's face made people have no doubt, if there was a Japanese ship girl in front of her at this time, she would definitely not hesitate to beat the other party directly.

"What's even more infuriating are those civil officials and sour Confucians! If those sour Confucians can put their minds on infighting on state affairs, why would I have fallen to such a point! And those corrupt officials! Damn it! Damn it! Why did I rebel in the first place? Why fight for the world? Isn't it so that the people of the world can have something to eat and no longer be bullied by those Semu and Mongolian Tartar officials? But in the end... Hateful! Hateful! As she spoke, she remembered the old years.

"Miss Hongwu, please don't be so excited. It's all from the past, and no one can go back to the past to change it. All we can do is face reality and figure out ways to make it better. Do you say I'm right? Karl persuaded on the side.

"It doesn't matter! I knew I was dead, and I knew that I had answered the call and become the ship's mother. But boy, I don't know what you think about one thing? Hongwu raised his hand to stop Carl, and then asked.

"Miss Hongwu, please speak." Carl said.

"I intend to marry you, I wonder what the young man thinks of these unsuccessful daughters of mine? Is there one that can be selected? Whoever you fancy and I say, I will marry her to you directly! ”
