Dobbiamopreparareintempodipace (We should prepare for war in peacetime)

- Fabricus Syrus (Roman sage)

The performance of the three naturally fell into the eyes of Zheng Shi, and Zheng Shishi himself knew the impact of this million gold coins on a normal person; When I got this treasure back then, my performance was even worse than those present. It was Licinius's performance that made Zheng Shishi look up at him, after all, there are not many people who can really treat money like dung; The rough-looking bald tough guy in front of him is indeed not to be underestimated, no wonder Oscar values him so much.

This is that Zheng Shishi thinks too much about himself, and Li Xini is not as noble as Zheng Shishi imagined; If you exchange a million gold coins for fifteen legions, tell him, and he'll be able to jump! After a brief moment of shock, everyone reverted to their previous expressionless faces; Oscar also sat back in his seat. After seeing that everyone had digested the impact of this million gold coins, Zheng Shishi continued:

"These million gold coins are not the so-called pirate treasure at all, but the treasure left by Alexander the Great more than two hundred years ago! When I was at the mouth of the Nile, I plundered a convoy belonging to the royal family of the Kingdom of Egypt, and there was a ship full of gold coins and treasures; I interrogated everyone and found a grave robber.

It was he who discovered the treasure of Alexander the Great on the island of Cyprus; And, he told the news only to the head of this transport fleet. Not only did they not tell the Governor of Cyprus about it, but they did not even tell the crew and sailors. No one knew that the ship was full of belongings, and that the grave robber and the person in charge wanted to steal the treasure.

After receiving this news, I secretly interrogated the treasure of the treasure place; After that, I killed both of these informants and sold all the people of the fleet to Greece as slaves. These are the usual methods of our pirates, and they do not arouse anyone's suspicion; And this treasure matter was intercepted by me.

Because the location of the treasure is on the island of Cyprus, it is impossible for us pirates to go to the island in search of the treasure; So, this matter has been dragged on. However, the fortune worth 300,000 gold coins seized in this fleet is still in my hands. In order to show loyalty to the Augustus family and loyalty to His Excellency Oscar Leader, the 300,000 gold coins are already on the ship 300 meters away, just waiting for His Excellency Oscar to send someone to receive them! ”

Zheng Shi's words are well-founded and not like lies; Oscar didn't intend to contradict her either. Regardless of whether this so-called treasure of Alexander the Great is true or not, at least the 300,000 gold coins are real; With these 300,000 gold coins, the Augustan family's reform in Sardinia will basically not affect the family's further expansion of armaments. After all, it takes money to reform and expand the army and build equipment; Without the support of the Senate, this money can be called timely rain!

So, Oscar, who really needed this money, had to ask cautiously: "Then I don't know what Miss Shixiu needs me to do, so that she is willing to hand over the 300,000 gold coins and treasure land to me?" After listening to Oscar's words, Zheng Shi's family smiled at Oscar in a variety of ways, and said coquettishly: "How dare the slave family make conditions with His Excellency the Oscar leader?!" Didn't the slave family say it? These 300,000 gold coins are a gift from the slave family to His Excellency Oscar, and they are ready to wait for His Excellency Oscar to send someone to pick it up! However, the 300,000 gold coins were originally a dowry prepared by the slave family for themselves; Now it's all given to His Excellency Oscar, Your Excellency Oscar can't let the slave family not get married, right?

So, the slave family has a small request; That is: these 300,000 gold coins and three trilinear battleships, all of which are dedicated to His Excellency Oscar. From now on, the slave family himself will stay with His Excellency Oscar and be a bed-warming maid; As long as His Excellency Oscar does not forget the contribution of the slave family, and in the future, after occupying Memphis, the capital of the Kingdom of Egypt, all the captured Egyptian royal family will be handed over to the slave family. What does Oscar think? “

After speaking, Zheng Shishi also licked his lips at Oscar provocatively. Before Oscar could answer, the hot-tempered Anne directly sarcastically said: "I said how the famous Alexander prostitute Shixiu, who has always been coquettish, will become serious, it turns out that it is all an illusion!" It's only been a few minutes in the conference room, and I can't help but complain again, right?! "That's it! A prostitute is a prostitute, and a disguise is a disguise. I don't know how many men I've seduced, but I still want to seduce His Excellency Oscar; What a shame! Mary followed Anne and scolded at Zheng Shi.

Zheng Shishi didn't care about the two indignant women at all, just leaned lazily back in the chair and looked at Oscar, waiting for Oscar's answer. Hearing the sarcastic scolding of the two women, Oscar couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Disguise is indeed disguise; However, is it pretending to be serious, or is it pretending to be coquettish?! These two female pirates are still too tender, and they are no match for the Zheng Shi clan at all. So, Oscar replied to Zheng Shishi sincerely: "Naturally, I can't refuse your little request; I'm not going to let you suffer, though. I will accept all the 300,000 gold coins, and the three warships will also be incorporated into the Guards Fleet that I am about to form; You yourself served as deputy commander of the Guards and my personal naval adviser. His main duties were to explain naval affairs to me in his spare time and to command the fleet in wartime; How is it? “

Zheng Shishi didn't even move his body before refusing: "Your Excellency Oscar really thinks too much; The slave family is sincerely seeking refuge in you, not wanting to seek a good future. Therefore, the position of your personal naval adviser was accepted by the slave family; As for the so-called deputy commander of the Guards Fleet, you can let the slave family go. The slave family just wants to be by His Excellency Oscar in the future, and I won't be involved in these things. “

Oscar didn't expect Zheng Shi to be so upright; But it's better to save yourself the trouble of getting her out of the Guards in the future. Of course, politeness is still necessary; Oscar generously said, "Okay; Since you insist on doing this, I can't stop you. From now on, you will be my personal naval advisor, and you will be the same as an ordinary legion commander within the Augustus family, and enjoy the treatment of a legion commander. “

This time, Zheng Shishi didn't say anything more, just nodded and squinted his eyes and stopped talking. After solving this big beauty, there are the remaining two pungent little beauties (Zheng Shishi is 27 years old, Anne is 22 years old, and Mary is 19 years old). Oscar looked at Anne and Mary, who were still angry at Zheng Shi's bewitchment, and said with a smile: "In the future, maybe you may have to work together; Don't be so disgruntled. Shi Xiu is not as unbearable as you think, you should treat her with a tolerant attitude. Now, then, tell us about your purpose and requirements. Hopefully, our conversation will be as pleasant as it was before. “

Mary once again glanced at Zheng Shishi beside her indignantly, and then snorted heavily with her nose and said, "Who is going to work with her?!" This is the first time we met, and I called Shi Xiu Shi Xiu; Are men all? Do you like women like that? Anne didn't attack Oscar and Zheng Shi as directly as Mary, but just pretended to be indifferent and said: "The reason why our sisters surrendered is very simple, that is, because they can't survive anymore; However, we ourselves are not willing to give up our pirate careers. At the very least, we can't stay on land and not go to sea in the future; We can hand over our fleet to His Excellency Oscar, as Zheng Shi did, or we can only serve as Your Excellency's personal naval adviser and not participate in any warship command at all.

But we need freedom; We can't always leave the seas and warships. At that time, my sisters chose to give up the privileged life at home in order to live a free, comfortable, and freewheeling life. Now, we have to think about the ordinary pirates under our command; So, we can only choose to surrender. Although, we don't have the wealth and treasures that Zheng Shi can give to you; However, we can guarantee that we have no ambition at all.

All we need is the freedom to live the life we want, and we don't need anything else. Of course, I also know that our sisters have a particularly bad temper and have a very impulsive personality; It is estimated that he will often offend His Excellency Oscar and many generals of the Augustus family in the future. Therefore, I hope that His Excellency Oscar will promise us that he will never punish our sisters for these things in the future; May I? “

Anne, who was still pretending to be indifferent, became more and more unconfident the more she spoke, and the more she spoke, the quieter her voice became; Even Mary bowed her head at Anne's words. Looking at the dejected sisters in front of him, Oscar was a little embarrassed; At their age, they are young girls who are in a rebellious period on earth. But in this world, she has become a female pirate spurned by everyone because of her pursuit of the freedom she wants; This made Oscar really unbearable.

In response to this, Oscar decided to meet all the requirements of the two beautiful girls. So, Oscar met the hopeful gaze of the two and pretended to be serious and said: "Our Augustan family has the rules of the Augustan family, and once you officially surrender, you will all be members of my Augustan family." So, both Shixiu's fleet and yours need to join my Guards; Upon their return to Sardinia, all pirates had to accept the rearrangement of the House of Augustus, and in the future they had to follow the rules of the House of Augustus. “

Seeing the sisters who were getting more and more lost in their words, Oscar continued to hold back a smile and said, "However, there are exceptions to everything. Shi Xiu, Anne, and Mary are all in the same legion and enjoy the treatment of the legion commander, so they are not among the rules! Anne and Mary, in particular, were allowed to sail alone on the battleship "Anne" for no more than ten days a month. and, the two were allowed to speak without sin; No matter how big the mistake is, as long as it does not affect the foundation of the Augustan family, the punishment will be reduced or reduced! “

Hearing Oscar's words, the sisters suddenly had the feeling of being hit by a pie falling from the sky; At this moment, the surprise was so joyful to them. Not only the sisters Anne and Mary, but even Shi Xiu (later known as Shi Xiu) was shocked by Oscar's generosity. This is not just a generous condition, it is simply a doting on the two sisters. At this moment, Shi Xiu, Anne, and Mary couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: This surrender is the right person!

Of course, Oscar's heart is also very happy. Inexplicably, there are more than 300,000 gold coins, not to mention, with the addition of these nine warships, plus the hearts of the transport fleet have been collected by Oscar; Oscar's convoy officially became a fleet loyal to Oscar himself - the Guards Fleet!
