"After analysis, I think we have two strengths, and they should be looked at together. Takenaka groaned.

"Bamboo, you explain it in detail, what you said is not very consistent, and I am a little confused. Lao Wang wondered.

Indeed, when Takenaka mentioned the selection person who was far away from Havana, the implication was obvious.

That is, the selectors from East Asia or the Indian Ocean or even Africa are likely to be given preferential treatment in terms of fashion or props, and by the time they appear in Havana, they may have more power in their hands than the European selectors.

Precious pop items can help them quickly gain popularity and local support in the Caribbean, while items make them more competitive in murder and other battles, and the worst thing is that if they accumulate wealth fast enough, it is normal for the Invincible Uncle to see a large fleet of East Asian Selectors in Havana.

In this way, even if the distance is farther, the selectors are nothing more than late in time, and there is no big problem for the subsequent battle.

There are even some teams that are strong and have been fully upgraded, and they may directly arrange the plan to get tickets directly, and take them from the weak teams who have already obtained the "Seven Seas Strong Challenge Book".

On the other hand, Lao Wang and these European selectors are indeed close in terms of distance, and it took a short time to rush to Havana, but what they can do and what advantages they can bring after they arrive, there is no specific quantitative standard for everything, and it seems very illusory.

Lao Wang looked at Zhuzhong suspiciously, waiting for the little guy to open his mind.

Takenaka didn't let him wait long, smiled and said: "Uncle, our first advantage is actually time, but you all got into the blind spot of thinking just now, and you didn't think about it, who said that time must be used to hurry? Do you have to arrive in Havana early to count it as an advantage?" Takenaka looked around, turned to the entire invincible uncle team and said, "Everyone might as well think about it, what does our time advantage refer to?"

"If you don't have to rush to Havana to get acquainted with your face, what else can you do? Do we continue to do business in Europe and make money?" Lao Wang asked a little confusedly, it is you who say that the time advantage is not real, and it is you who say that the time advantage is useful, what do you want to say, child?

"That's right. Takenaka looked at Lao Wang and replied seriously, recognizing Lao Wang's joking answer.

"Yes, what are you, kid, have you been overusing your plans lately? Can't you hear what your uncle is talking about?" said Wang.

"Uncle, you think of time as our bargaining chip, and I think we should use this bargaining chip in Europe!" Takenaka replied confidently.

Lao Wang was stunned, as if he had been a little pondered, he frowned and did not speak, raised his chin to the little guy, and motioned for him to continue.

"I'll give you an example, the time it takes for the White Tulip to sail to Havana is about 23 days, and after the float, it will be calculated as 30 days, so the time left in our mission to capture the 'Seven Seas Strong Challenge Book' is about 65 days, is it all spent in Havana rummaging through boxes? I think this is too stupid, in my calculations, we can stay in Europe for at least 35 to 50 more days, and if we make good use of this time, there are many things that can be done, I call it the preparation before the book. Takenaka explained.

"Little bamboo, you wait a while. "It was Mary who spoke, she now sang with the old prince, and also called the bamboo in the bamboo, but in order to show the difference, she used to add a 'small' word in front of the bamboo, so the bamboo only had to helplessly come down.

The beautiful reporter straddled a chair with a backrest rushing forward, held her chin and asked, "How do you calculate how long we can stay in Europe, and what if we arrive in Havana and it will take us two months to find a challenge?"

"It's impossible Miss Mary, Uncle also explained just now, there are still 15 days after the East Asian selectors arrive in Havana to get the 'Seven Seas Strong Challenge Book', this should be the normal process to find the challenge book time, and the third step of the task is all unified, so to get the challenge book, 15 days must be enough. Takenaka explained.

"But as you just said, we may have a gap in Europe in terms of both the funds we make and the quality and quantity of props compared to the distant selectors, do we still have to spend time on this?"

"Mr. Tan, I was about to say this. Takenaka felt that Boss Tan had asked a good question, and he spoke more energetically, and nodded to Tan Liang excitedly: "It's also to blame that I didn't make it clear just now, I think that the farther away the selector, the easier it is to get props or funds, but this is just a simple process! ”

"You mean, balance..."Tan Liang said thoughtfully.

"That's right, in fact, I've been studying the balance algorithm of space for implicit rules, and now I know a little bit about it, so I'll first apply our current situation to give you an analysis. Takenaka gave Lao Wang an inquiring look.

Lao Wang nodded in agreement, and the little guy waved his hand to call up a blue light curtain, covering the map, and said as he wrote: "The calculation variable in task three we talked about just now is actually the difficulty of obtaining time and space resources.

To put it simply, if the picker is close to Havana and has more preparation time, the task of obtaining props or funds will be more difficult and therefore more preparation time will be spent, and conversely, the task of obtaining space resources will be relatively simple and the preparation time will be less.

After this calculation, in the end, the total time spent should be roughly the same, regardless of distance. Takenaka wrote an equation and paused to look at everyone with an inquiring gaze, as if to ask if there was anything else they didn't understand.

"Bear child, we are not biao. Lao Wang muttered: "It's just that you're not as smart as you." ”

Takenaka smiled and continued: "Therefore, we can't spend our time rushing to Havana in advance.

"Do you need to be hard to strike iron?"

"That's right, that's it, if we want to get four challenge certificates in the next battle, the best way is to make the most of our preparation time, accumulate advantages in Europe, and then go to Havana with our power and win it in one fell swoop, which is the best policy. Takenaka affirmed.

"In this way, it will also ensure that we will be able to draw with the other selectors, and we will not be able to take advantage yet, so should you talk about the second advantage now?" asked Lao Wang.

"That's right, in fact, the second advantage is used to break the balance, but it is only slightly broken, and the key to breaking the balance boils down to one word, before I say it, I apologize for the discomfort that may be caused to my uncle and Mr. Tan Liang. The little guy bowed to Lao Wang and Tan Liang.

Lao Wang and Tan Liang looked at each other, and at the same time nodded to Takenaka, indicating that they didn't mind.

"Thank you very much. Takenaka took a breath and looked at everyone with burning eyes: "Great powers, I want to talk about great powers!"

"What kind of powers are the Eight-Nation Alliance?" asked Lao Wang, already understanding the reason for the little guy's apology, his and Tan Liang's motherland has been ravaged by foreign powers in modern times, and the little guy is afraid that they will be sensitive.

"That's it, in this world of trials, our nationality is the great powers, the Netherlands, England, Portugal, Spain, etc., although the timeline and the real world are a little incompatible, but the shadow of the great powers can already be seen. Takenaka waved away the light curtain that had just written the formula.

The little guy called up the map again, changed to the mode of the world map, and said: "Regardless of the national sentiment of Uncle and Mr. Tan, in fact, the great powers refer to the strong people in the same ranks. Advanced firearms and excellent adventurers, I have counted, the number of legendary admirals in Europe is the largest of all continents, and the East Asian ships entering the port in Amsterdam are relatively backward in artillery and sail structures, which also proves my view of the great powers from the side, so we can take advantage of the point that the ships are strong and the seamen are excellent. ”

"Borrowing their momentum?" Old Wang was a little interested, he walked to the map and said, "Is the space allowed, can we really bring a legendary admiral into the Caribbean?"

"Uncle, I'm afraid I can't. Takenaka said with a little regret: "What we can do is to expand our strength as much as possible within the scope of the space balance algorithm, but if we really want to completely make it egalitarian, the big test of space will lose its meaning, and the space is to provide a level playing field, and the specific details need to be discovered by the selectors themselves, just like someone who does not necessarily know what we analyzed, and rushed to Havana in a hurry, which will definitely be the fate of being eliminated in the end, and it is they who will be screened out of the space." ”

"In this way, the selectors in other places should also have a calculation and bonus question similar to that of the 'Great Powers', depending on whether they can find out. Mary said, a beautiful woman deserves to be a journalist, and most of the time, it is often she who is the first to extract information from other people's narratives.

"That's the reason, but I haven't trained in other seas at the moment, so this information is blank, and we have to be prepared to face a thousand strange enemies. Takenaka finally concluded.

"I understand, the bamboo analysis is already good, that is to say, we should increase the intensity of activities in the European seas to enhance my strength, and then with the maximum strength after preparation, arrive in Havana at the right time for the mission, this kind of systematic arrangement, bamboo first take a few general directions, and we will check and fill in the remaining details. Lao Wang clapped his head.

He paced a few steps and continued: "The Sheep's Horn Demon told me that the repurchase tide of tulips will appear in three days, and then we will have money after selling the inventory, Bamboo will use these three days to organize the plan, Tan Liang, you are in charge of the ship, according to our previous plan, expand the fleet, recruit sailors, don't go wrong, Mary and I will visit friends, and go to a place like a bar with a lot of news, see if we can dig up any rumors, get some good props, okay, let's get busy." ”

...

For the next three days, the invincible uncle team was busy.

After figuring out the essence of the task time, they began the "Knife Sharpening Plan", the so-called plan to sharpen the knife without mistakenly chopping wood, improve strength, and make adequate preparations is also called this name.

When it comes to the plan to strengthen the strength, Takenaka is the best at it, but now in the world of trials, unlike space, you can spend random points, so the formulation of the plan is even more difficult for the little guy, Lao Wang asked him to stay at the headquarters of the Vanderkamp Chamber of Commerce, so that the little guy can concentrate on his work.

Boss Tan was in charge of the ships, expanding the fleet, recruiting seafarers, and placing orders for the Amsterdam shipyard in advance, and the chain reaction brought about by the recent tulip collapse caused the Amsterdam ship market to be depressed and shipbuilding prices to fall.

The newly launched four-mast Galen armed merchant ship, fully loaded with equipment only sells 80,000 silver horse swords, and the price of the same level Galen military ship is 115,000 silver horse swords, after Boss Tan's report, Lao Wang gritted his teeth, sold the white tulip at a low price, and re-ordered five four-mast Galen military ships of the same type, and made special modifications for conventional armaments, and each ship after the completion of the price of 130,000 silver horse swords, this number made Lao Wang's face completely bitter.

Even if Lao Wang earned more than 500,000 silver horse swords, the money was still not enough to spend, so the fat head inevitably suffered, and now Lao Wang and he have a friendship with his fellow villagers, and it is still okay to spend two zero-interest payments.

So Lao Wang left Mary, a professional in the tavern to collect information, he visited the horn demon, and after putting forward the intention, the head of the meeting simply agreed, in order to avoid tongues, he did not say anything to Lao Wang about zero-interest loans, and bought the tulip inventory in Lao Wang's hands in advance with 20% of the price in his heyday.

In this way, the more than 500,000 silver horse swords that Lao Wang should have received became more than 750,000, plus a letter with a large stroke of the head of the fat head, and directly divided 20% of the maintenance project of the East India Company's Nordic fleet and handed it over to the shipyard where Lao Wang made the military ship, so the price of the Galen military ship directly became 100,000 silver horse swords each, as such, after Lao Wang bought the ship, there were 250,000 silver horse swords left, which was exactly as much as he had earned by sniping tulips before.

However, this money Lao Wang estimates that he can't cover it for long, the number of sailors required by the military ship and the quality of the sailors are comparable to the unarmed merchant ships, simply put, the sailors of five full-manned ships paid their salaries in advance, and directly killed Lao Wang 10,000 silver horse swords, which is still an ordinary sailor, similar to the chief sailor, ship doctor, gun commander, etc., and other senior special seamen, need 3 times the price of ordinary sailors, in order to fill five ships.

Coupled with the subsequent people eating horses and chewing, preparing for the voyage, and all kinds of consumption in the process of expedition promotion, the possibility of this money bag still deflated is relatively high.

The beautiful reporter is also working hard, a pair of beautiful legs have been walking a few times in the past few days, Lao Wang sometimes comes to see her after he is busy, and he also presses the shoulders of the beauty, and the little love grows from the bud to the seedling, and at the same time, the intelligence and information collected by Mary are also thickening.

In addition to getting money, Lao Wang also ran away with Lilu and Gerhardt, Bergstong's subordinate, firstly to gather special seafarers through them, and secondly, to ask them if they were interested in drawing elite forces to join the New World ocean trade plan.

Lilu and Gerhardt both rejected Lao Wang's invitation, but they spared no effort to help find seafarers, and Lilu also said that she could let Ferdinand bring an armed merchant ship with her, Lao Wang knew that this was the balance that Takenaka said about the space to the world of trials, but the help was not too small, and the helpers were not afraid of too much, so he still accepted.

Another thing that Lao Wang didn't expect before, the tulip crisis made the interactive characters begin to sell their properties, and there are also many props in these family properties.

So Lao Wang became a frequent visitor to bank mortgage auctions and began to run these small trade fairs.

An unexpected encounter just happened.
