"Player Chen Baxian, congratulations on successfully completing the 'Save the Refugees' mission, your chance of hiring NPCs in Lingnan has become 90%, your reputation has increased by 2 points, and your reputation in Lingnan has increased by 10 points."

After all the refugees were settled, Chen Hao quickly received a system prompt, and he immediately sent a telegram to Liu Zixuan asking her to start recruiting refugees. At the same time, he sent a telegram to Silva, a French player in Saigon, asking about the situation on the French side, and he had brought Silva to his attention from the beginning when he suspected that Eagle Feather would be informant.

Silva telegraphed back that the French consul had contacted the Pacific Fleet, hoping that the Pacific Fleet would eliminate the pirate Liu Mazi, and at the same time asked the governor of Indochina to provide supplies. Silva had his own way in Indochina, and it was not difficult to find out these news, and he told Chen Hao a good news, the French Pacific Fleet thought that the slave ship was originally a shady deed, and this was a trivial matter, and it was rash to dispatch a warship for fear of being impeached.

Although the Pacific Fleet was reluctant to dispatch, it could not save face from the French consulate in Lingnan, and was still considering whether to send troops. Silva thought that Chen Hao's request to him had a great chance of success, and asked Chen Hao to go to Saigon to meet with him, and then he arranged for Chen Hao to meet with the governor of Indochina.

Chen Hao immediately left for Saigon, and when he arrived in Saigon, Silva was already waiting at the city gate, and he said with a warm face: "Welcome to Saigon, Dear Mr. Chen, I hope we can contact more in the future." ”

Chen Hao also stretched out his hand and said, "Thank you Mr. Silva for your reception, I hope you will take a lot of trouble this time." ”

Silva shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is a small matter, I went to see Governor Scherna earlier, and the Governor thanked you for your kindness. He will contact our consul in Lingnan as soon as possible, and if the consul agrees with you to exterminate the pirates, Governor Scherner will be happy to see it. ”

Chen Hao had already had a plan, and after Ying Yu told him, he was ready to take the opportunity to find the French authorities to take over the errand of killing Liu Mazi. Doing so would improve relations with the French authorities. While saving Liu Mazi, you can also take him under your command. Chen Hao could only do this through Silva, with the consent of the Governor of Indochina, Scherna, and the French consul, and then he could carry out his plan.

The Governor of Indochina has agreed, and now it is up to the French consul to mean it. Since the French Pacific Fleet was reluctant to send troops, the French consul must have been embarrassed, and Chen Hao's willingness to help was simply to send a pillow when he was sleepy. So there is a good chance of success.

Chen Hao and Silva have begun to cooperate, but Chen Hao now has limited liquidity in his hands, and the business between the two sides is not big. Silva is very patient, he feels that Chen Hao has a fleet in his hands, and he will definitely be able to develop more in the future. So when Chen Hao proposed that a large number of fortress guns would be ordered after a while, and maybe even dreadnoughts, Silva didn't think it was a fantasy, and he said that he was looking forward to it.

Chen Hao's purchase of fortress guns and ironclad ships will make Silva earn the difference in the middle, which is no way. Because it was difficult for him to succeed in buying these items as a Huaxia player. The conversation between the two was quite pleasant, and when Chen Hao asked if he wanted to go directly to the Governor's Palace, Silva smiled and said: "I just left from the Governor's Palace, and now the Governor is still in contact with the Lingnan side, we need to wait for a while, why don't you go to me first, there is news that the Governor will send someone to tell me." ”

Silva's residence in Saigon, located near the Governor's Palace, is a white western-style building. Coming to the living room and sitting down, Silva smiled and said, "I received the news two days ago. Almost all of Vietnam's high-end players have gathered in Nha Trang, bent on driving you out into the sea to feed the sharks. ”

Chen Hao said lightly: "We Chinese people have an ancient saying called 'soldiers come to block the water and cover the earth'. Since I dare to establish a base in Cam Ranh Bay, I will have a way to stop the Vietnamese attack, Mr. Silva, but please rest assured. ”

Silva shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about this, even if you lose Cam Ranh Bay, as long as you still have the fleet in your hand, our cooperation can continue." I mention this to tell you that I am very sincere about our cooperation. Several arms deals have been rejected by the Vietnamese side, and I hope you will not disappoint me. ”

Chen Hao smiled slightly and said: "Actually, Mr. Silva is a businessman, but he does business on both sides, and I have no opinion on selling arms to the Vietnamese." ”

"Oh?" Silva was surprised and said: "At present, your biggest enemy is the Vietnamese players, aren't you afraid that I will sell arms to them to enhance their strength?" ”

Chen Hao shrugged his shoulders and said, "Even if Mr. Silva doesn't sell arms to them." I don't think other players in your country will miss the opportunity to get rich, and the result is the same for me, so why stop you from getting rich? ”

Silva gave a thumbs up and said, "Chen, you have seen very thoroughly, and you have a big heart. I understand this, but I don't want to cause misunderstanding and affect our agreement. To be honest, I'm very much looking forward to what you said about the large number of orders for fortress guns and battleships, can you give me an exact time? ”

"Grass, I'm still worried that I'm blowing NB for a long time, and I won't really buy fortress guns and ironclad ships." Chen Hao said confidently after sneering in his heart: "I have already started to inject funds, at least half a year or more than a year, I will order more than 300 large-caliber Krupp guns and more than two battleships, I will not disappoint Mr. Silva." ”

"I also said that I won't stop Mr. Silva from selling arms to Vietnamese players, so I don't do me any good if I lie to you, right? Instead of worrying about whether I will fulfill my promise, you should consider whether I can meet my requirements for ordering warships, I want to order dreadnought-class battleships, after buying the main battleships, I need to buy a large number of battlecruisers, and if you can't do it, I can only find other people to cooperate. ”

Silva spread his hands and said, "I shouldn't doubt your ability, it's my fault, I think we still lack trust in each other." As long as you have money in your hands, you don't have to worry about warships, I have been in the arms business for a long time, and I have my own way in Europe, and I can buy Dreadnought-class battleships for you, whether they are made in Britain or Germany. ”

Chen Hao nodded and said: "Then there is a lot of room for us to cooperate, come, Mr. Silva, let's have a toast and wish the future cooperation a happy one." ”

"Cheers."

Chen Hao didn't wait long at Silva's house when the Governor's Palace guards came to deliver the news, saying that they had adopted Silva's suggestion and invited Silva and Chen Hao to meet with the Governor. Chen Hao followed Silva, and the two took a carriage to the Governor's Palace, where Governor Scherna was already waiting in the living room.

After saluting the Governor, Silva pointed at Chen Hao and said, "Mr. Governor, this is Chen Baxian I told you, he came here on behalf of the Russians in Cam Ranh Bay. ”

In the eyes of NPCs, the fleet in Cam Ranh Bay is controlled by the Russians, so Chen Hao plays the role of a Russian subordinate. Knowing Chen Hao's identity as a pirate, Scherna had a proud look on his face, and he said condescendingly: "Huaxia, is your Russian leader really willing to exterminate the pirates on Pure Water Island?" ”

Chen Hao said lightly: "The commander of the Cam Ranh Bay Fleet is Mr. Gobiato, but it is my personal will to exterminate the pirates of Pure Water Island this time. ”

"Personal wishes?" Scherna sneered: "The fleet is Russian, and they are willing to let you command warships to attack the pirates of Pure Water Island?" ”

Chen Hao nodded seriously and said, "They agree!" I was friends with the Russians for doing me a favor in the Northeast. Because I have a good relationship with His Excellency Silva, and I heard him talk about the pirates of Pure Water Island robbing merchant ships jointly protected by Britain and France, I offer to exterminate your country. ”

Xerna laughed and said with a slight mockery: "Mr. Chen is really helpful?" What do you want to get for our country to exterminate pirates, you might as well say it for my reference. ”

"Nothing!" Chen Hao said coldly: "Your Excellency the Governor will be mistaken, I took the initiative to help because of my friendship with Mr. Silva, not to ask for alms. Of course, I may not believe the Governor when I say this, but what if I say that my real purpose is to control the island and find a sub-station for Cam Ranh Bay, the Governor? ”

Scherna finally understood what the Cam Ranh Bay pirates meant, and these pirates were willing to help because they had their eyes on another group of pirates. On the surface, they were doing the French a favor, but in fact it was a black and dark affair between pirates, which Scherner did not have a problem with, because Pure Water Island belonged to the territory of Huaxia.

After realizing that he didn't have to pay anything to achieve his goal of eliminating the pirates on Pure Water Island, Scherner was finally much more polite, and he smiled and said: "Mr. Chen Baxian, on behalf of the French Republic, I would like to express my gratitude to you, and welcome you to Saigon as a guest in the future, I think there is room for cooperation between us." ”

"Player Chen Chen Baxian, the Governor of Indochina, Sherna, issued you the task 'Exterminate the pirates of Pure Water Island', and the task completion conditions: Annihilate or recover the pirate Liu Mazi on Pure Water Island. Reward: The Governor's Favor. ”

Chen Hao received the task prompt, and he offered to help, so Scherner didn't give him any substantial favor. This so-called favor of the Governor General could not be exchanged for money, nor for arms, nor could it make the Vietnamese stop the offensive, and in his opinion it was useless. However, his purpose this time was to help suppress the bandits, and to take Liu Mazi and his pirates under his command, and now it was the best result.

After receiving the task, Chen Hao was reluctant to stay in the Governor's Palace, and after saying goodbye, he immediately rushed to Yingkou, and then dispatched five warships to sail to Pure Water Island. This time the water purification island is facing a crisis, which is actually because of Chen Hao, and now he has taken the opportunity to annex Liu Mazi's department. Although he thought that doing this would also be beneficial to Liu Mazi, it was indeed too unkind, and he was thinking about how to explain it to Liu Mazi. (To be continued......)
