Chapter 289: Rand's Worries
Rand felt that his mouth was a little dry, Rutherf's appetite was actually so big, no, it should be said that the ambition of the Peruvian family had swelled to the point that he wanted to use the Black Sailing Fleet to sweep away the enemy for himself, he shook his head very resolutely: "I'm sorry, I don't agree with your proposal." ”
Joke, if it was just to rent a black sailing ship to transport soldiers to Blu-ray City, Rand would definitely agree to it, and his original plan was exactly that, but the other party was talking about the "black sailing fleet", and the goal was to enter the South China Sea to sweep away the enemy merchants, which was a bit excessive.
First of all, Ron's asking price is very high, the money has to be paid by himself, and it is still unknown whether he will be able to obtain benefits, if the plan to enter the South China Sea fails, then all the losses will be borne by the air commander, not only the charter fee of the sailboat, but also the compensation of the soldiers.
At Ron's asking price, it must have been astronomical.
Secondly, with such a large-scale military operation, Ron's Seventh Legion still has to stay in Lindong City, always on guard against enemies who may sneak up from the sea, and he will not agree to divide a large number of soldiers to participate in the disputes of other families.
"Lord Lord, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we have already heard of the combat effectiveness of the Black Galleon Fleet," Rutherf continued to persuade: "If we can win this war, in the future, most of the South China Sea Islands will be divided by us, even if the Capet family is rich, I am afraid that they will not be able to choose to ignore this wealth, right?"
Yes, that's tempting, but the consequences of failure are also too much for me to bear.
"The Black Galleon is not an army of the Empty Ferry Lord, I can't guarantee that I will be able to mobilize a large number of ships to fight with your family, all I can do so far is to help you rescue Lanilus, and other than that, the war between the merchant clans in the South China Sea ......" Rand paused for a moment, and said in an aggravated tone, "Please forgive me for not being able to do anything. ”
"My lord, please think about it again......" Rutherf heard Lanter's resolute tone, and suddenly panicked: "We will win this battle!"
"Alright, let's talk about the reward for rescuing Lanilus!" Rand interrupted Rutherf and said with a blank face, "How much are you going to give me?"
......
Late at night, Rutseff tossed and turned, and he felt extremely irritated when he thought of Rand's attitude, he didn't tell the truth today, it is true that the Peruvian family has allies in the South China Sea, but compared to the alliance of the Blackstar family, they are still at a disadvantage.
The Black Star family has been operating in the South China Sea for many years, and its wealth and power have long exceeded that of ordinary medium families, if it were not for the limitation of the location of the sea, I am afraid that it would have already stepped into the scope of the top family by now, and the chances of winning against such a family are extremely slim.
But the other party's requirements were too harsh, and they completely cut off most of the lifeblood of the Peruvian family.
As early as a few years ago, the Black Star family imposed commercial sanctions on the surrounding business clans, such as monopoly, buying and selling at low prices, and the Peruvian family was also within the scope of the Black Star family's sanctions, even if there was no shallow beach incident, the Peruvian family and allies were also dissatisfied with the domineering behavior of the Black Star family, but their strength was not as good as others, and the South China Sea did not strictly enforce the law, so they had to swallow their anger.
The forbearance did not make the Black Star family restrain him, but only intensified it, and they began to openly encroach on the waters of other families, and let their fishing boats go to other areas to fish.
After a long time, the oppressed families have complaints about the Black Star Family, and these resentments are like slowly accumulating **, which is finally ignited.
The incident in Blu-ray City is the fuse.
But when these families were ready to unite to completely overturn the Black Star Family from their heads, they were surprised to find that after so many years of looting and embezzlement, the strength of the Black Star Family had already far surpassed their own.
This is a difficult problem in front of the family.
The ** called war ignited by them does not seem to be able to do much damage to the enemy, but on the contrary, their own side will suffer an extremely serious blow, and even a catastrophe will not be recovered.
The family's idea is to launch Lantra into the water, although the strength of the Kongdu Domain is not strong, but standing behind him is the Duke who swept through the iron stream, if his army is willing to participate in this battle, then what can the Black Star family be?
No, there is no need for the Duke of Winton's legion at all, even if it is the army of Lindong City, it is not an existence that the Black Star family can resist.
Who among the people living in this sea does not know the horror of the black sailing ship?
The dark sail is a call from hell, and no sea army can remain calm in the face of the black sail.
They always come with the slaughter of flames.
Everywhere the black sails passed, they were all in ruins.
Rutherf clenched his fists, if he had such a fleet, the Blackstar family would lose even the courage to raise their weapons.
But Rand rejected his offer.
I'm irritable!
Rutherf put on a robe, quietly pushed open the door, and looked at the faint lights lit by the hallway, and the depression in his heart was a little depressed.
"My lord, are you going out at such a late hour?" asked the soldier on duty at the gate of the castle.
Rutherf nodded, "I'll just go around." ”
"Please be sure not to go outside the confines of the castle, there are militia patrolling the streets outside, and there is a curfew at night for the air ferry. The soldier reminded.
"I see. Rutherf gestured to himself in full understanding, "Where is the direction of the garden?"
The soldier pointed in a direction, and after Rutseff thanked him, he disappeared into the darkness along the stone-paved path.
......
"Do you think Rutseff will be willing?" Payne, sitting in Rand's room, had a different view on the outcome of today's negotiations: "If the Peruvian family doesn't get help from you, will they look elsewhere?"
"You're saying he'll get past me and take the initiative to contact Lindong City?" Rand paused, if the Peruvian family's situation was critical, it wasn't impossible, but it wasn't a wise choice: "If that's the case, Rutherf is really sending sheep into the tiger's mouth!"
"Even I'm not sure that Ron will strictly abide by the agreement of the negotiations, let alone the Peruvian family. ”
"The reason why I didn't dare to agree to Rutherf and go to rent the Black Sail Fleet to Ron is because I am afraid that the Black Sail Fleet will not obey my command, after entering the South China Sea, I am afraid that the Black Sail will carry out a whale-swallowing sweep offensive, in the South China Sea army dominated by the Shang clan, the Black Sailer is undoubtedly the most ferocious shark, he will swallow everything he can swallow, including his allies," Rand shrugged his shoulders: " In this way, those merchants don't have to worry about the Black Star family at all, because the black sailing ship has already gnawed all the bones they have gnawed. ”
