Chapter 184. The gambler's mentality is unacceptable
At the wharf of the local fishing ground, six light Canadian warships have been docked safely, and the two heavy Galyte warships next to them are also side by side, as a few sailors jumped ashore, the tied ropes and fallen anchors also made the light warships that were still swaying slightly completely fixed on the dock.

The planks had been set up on the elevated part of the wharf, and the sailors began to act with shouts, and at the same time the thirty or so fishermen who were resting in the fishing ground also came out, and when they saw the goods piled up in the cabin, they also spontaneously walked over to act as porters, and began to move the barrels one by one to the open space of the fishing ground.
Green also had a notebook in his hand, a good habit that he did not throw away even after becoming the chief minister, and watched the sailors and fishermen quickly carry the barrels of the six ships, and carefully counted them one by one.
As Chancellor of the Exchequer, Thor was also counting his number on the ship, but he was also calculating the cost of buying supplies at sea at the end, and finally reported it directly to Green and Levy, after all, he was currently the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but he needed to be cautious, because he found that he now had fewer and fewer large silver coins at his disposal, and there was no income that could be harvested at all.
"Wow, is this the town of Cape? It looks like Grey Mist! ”
Little Agatha also had a look of surprise on her face, looking at the neatly built walls around her, which were not even worse than the inner city of Grey Mist, and her little face was also surprised, and she pulled her sister Little Dinah off the boat, as if she had discovered a new city, and her eyes didn't know where to look.
Regardless of the city walls, this rudimentary fortification from modern times alone is already shocking, the whole body is made of soil, and the stone blocks are neatly wrapped on the outside, which looks exactly like the real stone walls in the inner city, and even because of the unique construction technology of Spain, it seems that this city wall has a unique thick beauty, which makes people look at it with a kind of awe from the heart.
After all, the two of them are still young, and they don't have any scheming, let alone being well-informed, they pursed their mouths, and after stabilizing their minds, they also looked left and right with some curiosity, and they were all a little regretful when they didn't see the familiar figure: "Uncle Green, Levi... What about Mr. Levi? ”
"Lord Levi? Maybe it's still busy. ”
Shrugging his shoulders slightly, Green also showed a smile to these two cute little girls, and just as he was talking, the corner of his eye also saw the city gate behind the local fishing ground, several figures were walking over, and they also patted little Agatha's head and said, "Isn't this coming?" ”
The person who came was Levi, and the gatehouse near the local fishing ground of the primary city fortification was not closed, so he also walked over quickly with four guards, holding torches in his hands and seeing the busy port, and at the same time swept over the little Dinah and little Agatha who were full of surprise, and their faces were also a little surprised, and they couldn't help but smile and said, "Hey, who did I see?" ”
"Mr. Levi!"
Little Dinah and little Agatha suddenly ran over like a bird that had found its nest, and they also threw themselves into Levi's arms, and their faces with a little freckles were also full of excitement, for the two of them, Levi was their most admired idol.
However, the guards behind Levi frowned slightly, but they saw that the two little girls were indeed no threat, so they didn't do anything more, but at the top of the city gate tower, on the city wall connecting Haijiao Mountain, a patrol of ten people also walked over quickly, and the captain at the front held a torch to look at the situation below, but the nine sailors with flintlock pistols behind him had also put their hands on the gun belts, looking at the two little girls very vigilantly.
"Nothing happened, did you?"
Levi, of course, understood the psychology of his group of guards, waved his hand at them, and then looked at Green, who was standing not far away, and also patted Little Dinah and Little Agatha, motioned for the two of them to let go of their collars, and asked with a smile: "It seems that the problems in Gray Mist City have been solved?" ”
"Solved." First Officer Green nodded, put down the notebook in his hand, pointed to the hundreds of wooden barrels that had been built up in the clearing of the fishing ground, and said in a relaxed tone: "I also bought our food for a week with Sorce." After a pause, he looked at Levi and said without hesitation: "But now I am not only the chief minister, but also the position of the leader of the Cape Town River Patrol Team appointed by the Treasurer of Grey Mist City. ”
"Detachment leader? That treasurer is really generous, and this position is not small. ”
Levi was also stunned when he heard this, and then the corners of his mouth smiled helplessly, they have been in this world for two years, of course they understand that this detachment leader used to be in the Samar City River Patrol Team, but he was a fat and oily good position, even if he was a stupid fool, the silver coins sent by the group of ship merchants every year could buy a good house.
Of course, this is also a false position, the head of the river patrol team in Cape Town, it is estimated that there is only the Yuqiao River, except for the fish that swim back every autumn, it is estimated that there will not be many merchant ships here, not to mention the water thieves in the swamp are still there, this kind of appointment is more like a joke.
Levi understood, and of course First Officer Green understood, but he looked at the primary fortifications that had been built in a short period of time, and couldn't help but ask: "Is there any receipt here, it seems that the changes in Cape Town are really too big." ”
"Killed an invading fleet of pirates."
Smiled and nodded, Levi made a long story short and told the battle that Green encountered after leaving, but it made the calm first mate's face slightly stunned, if he expected it to be correct, this should be the largest battle in the world, and even the degree of tragedy is more important than the more than three hundred people who invaded the water thieves before, and it is even more dangerous for Cape Town and Levi.
Swallowing and spitting, Green also had a little fear on his face, he also understood that the light enemy and backwardness of the group of Ketufu River thieves led to the defeat of this battle, but he still couldn't help but shake his head at Levi and said: "We must not do this kind of uncertain thing in the future, this is a gamble!" ”
Gambling always has a winner or loser, and it is with the element of luck, in the view of the first mate Green, to defeat the enemy in a dignified manner, with absolute strength to crush the past, is the real battle, this kind of victory by relying on the enemy's light enemy, is really just luck.
Luck will not always favor a country, just like a certain island country on the earth in the previous life, it is really gambling with national fortune, this kind of lifeless gambler psychology appears at the national and national level, it is already like a broken boat, gambling with the national capital and national fortune, the initial stage really won several brilliant victories, even if it is good to settle their own capital with peace of mind, but they have to continue to gamble, and finally end up with the destruction of the national capital, and the miserable to the 21st century have been garrisoned.
Even if Green doesn't know this, but in the countries where the forest theory is popular in modern Europe, this kind of gambling is unacceptable, because this kind of gambling is always small and big, and once it is not successful, the consequences are not so good.
"I understand that, but only if the other side doesn't suddenly appear."
Patted his longest old buddy with some emotion, Levi also shook his head, this battle is a little complicated even in his heart now, but looking at the eyes of little Dinah and her sister little Agatha, he also frowned and smiled: "Haven't you eaten yet?" ”
"It's... Yes, Mr. Levi. ”
Little Agatha, as an older sister, is much more courageous than little Dinah, although she feels that the big brother in front of her has changed a little compared to before, but she still mustered up the courage, her little face is red, and she asked softly: "Can you... Can you give me and Dinah some... What about some food? ”
Levi looked at the shy appearance of the two of them, but reached over, gently rubbed their hair with one hand, swept over the group of sailors who had finished moving the barrels, and were shaking their waists and continuing to wait, whispering something vague and laughing, and also shook his head and said to Green: "Let's eat together, it seems that you are really tired a lot." ”
"Thank you so much, sir."
In front of the others, Green had also changed his name, but he looked at the two little girls with longing eyes and happy smiles on their faces, and still felt that these two little guys who were enough to be his daughters were too young, and looked at Levi and couldn't help but shake his head, and said softly: "They are too young." ”
Levi's face was even more embarrassed, he coughed lightly, his eyes swept over the group of sailors with a playful look in his eyes, and he also shook his head and said to Green: "Take these two little girls to eat something, and then arrange for someone to move all the food supplies here to the basement of the sheriff's mansion." After a pause, Levi looked at Thor who had already counted the goods, and ordered, "You should also rest more, and gather on the first floor of the sheriff's mansion tomorrow morning." ”
"Understood, sir."
Hearing Levi's formal command, Green and Thor also put away the relaxation on their faces, stood up straight and bowed their heads slightly, although there are not so many serious etiquette for them, they must also distinguish their identities in front of formal occasions.
However, little Agatha and little Dinah would not understand this kind of thing, but stayed behind Levi with a red face, and followed his most admired big brother into the city wall, just like Levi was here, even if it was dark, it was only temporary, secretly looking at Levi's face, the blush on the cheeks was even more intense, and even made their steps a little lighter.
