"Major General Segaard, what's wrong with you?" Governor Pierre Brad stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Han Xing.

"Ah~ I'm sorry, please continue!" Han Xing also realized that he seemed to have lost his temper, and hurriedly said sorry.

"Since you were sent by His Excellency the Consul Bonaparte, what are you doing with it?" Governor Pierre Brad had to repeat in embarrassment.

"What? How did I get involved with Napoleon again? Han Xing was shocked that his letter of appointment was given by Napoleon in the [Mummy] world. When I got here, I'm afraid I didn't want to show my feet! If the time comes to Napoleon in this world, won't he tell a big lie? Is this the punishment for using meritorious items?

This was something he had taken for granted, knowing that (shēn) was in the Caribbean, and Governor Pierre Braider probably wouldn't have asked for this at all! On top of that, Governor Pierre Bred had noticed the Vostok. He doesn't care if Han Xing is really a major general, even if he isn't, as long as he is willing to play for France!

Han Xing's arrival was just the right solution to the problem that had been plaguing Governor Pierre Braid—the French government did not attach importance to the navy, so that the colonies did not have a strong enough navy to protect the trade routes and fight piracy. And Han Xing used mind-reading in order to confirm whether he had succeeded in fooling around! Governor Pierre Brad's thoughts happened to be in his eyes.

"I didn't expect this Governor Pierre Breed to think like himself!" Han Xing was overjoyed, so he pretended to cough lightly and said:

"His Excellency the Archon has realized the importance of the Caribbean colony (xìng). He believed that Britain's strength lay in its occupation of the rich Caribbean trade routes! Therefore, in order to defeat Britain, it is necessary to seize the British colonies and weaken its naval power! With this in mind, His Excellency the Consul personally organized and participated in the conquest of Egypt and drew up a grand blueprint for an overland attack on the British Indian colonies using Egypt as a springboard! It's just that, unfortunately, due to some changes in the country, this grand blueprint has been temporarily shelved! Now, Your Excellency the Consul is too busy with the affairs of the continent to divide (shēn), so he has sent me to the Caribbean colonies to carry out a new plan to fight for control of the Caribbean and weaken the British navy! ”

This remark was extravagant, and the fact of Napoleon's expedition to Egypt was also brought out as a basis, which indirectly proved that Han Xing's visit was indeed at Napoleon's behest. is reasonable, even Han Xing himself is about to believe it!

"Great, great! I have finally looked forward to this day, Your Excellency the Archon is truly wise and discerning! I have to say that Han Xing's lie was so full that Governor Pierre Breed was so attracted by Han Xing's grand blueprint that he almost jumped out of his chair with joy. If the governor thought that Napoleon was just a vain name, now he really thinks that Napoleon is an unborn genius, a holy lord!

"I don't know, Your Excellency Rear Admiral, how many ships have you brought this time?" Governor Pierre Breed asked eagerly.

"I have a battleship, a cruiser·····" Han Xing looked at the Dongfang and Ranger that were quietly moored in the harbor outside the ship.

"Alas~" Han Xing could clearly see that this Governor Pierre Breed sighed with a look of loss.

"There are also four cruisers, which will arrive in a few days to join the fleet!" Han Xing remembered the four cruisers under construction in Toulon and hurriedly added.

"Oh~ good, good, good! With six warships, you have the power to fight! Governor Pierre Breed gave three hellos in a row, evidently with great excitement.

"I wonder what Your Excellency the Governor is talking about?" Han Xing asked in surprise.

Governor Pierre Breed sighed, took Han Xing to an oil painting and said, "Do you know what is painted on this painting?" ”

"I don't know!" Han Xing said with a blank expression.

"This is Tortuga! Since the time of the Sun King, His Majesty Louis XIV, France began to colonize overseas, and it was at that time that France occupied the port of Tortuga! At the beginning, the majestic fleet of France was moored there, and this painting was painted at that time! However, after the death of His Majesty Louis XIV, France suffered a great defeat in the Seven Years' War and had to cede most of its colonies in North America. At this point, the policy of France changed, the former Caribbean Fleet was withdrawn to the mainland, losing the fleet to connect the various colonies, the French Saint-Domingue uprising broke out on the island of Isparaola, Tortuga was occupied by pirates, and now the French Caribbean colonies are only Guadeloupe in the Windward Islands and the main island - Martinique! With that, Governor Pierre Braider looked at the map of the Caribbean Sea beside him, and a trace of sorrow (qíng) flashed across his face, as if someone had cut off his heart (ròu).

Even Louis XVI was silent when he heard this, and hung his head in frustration, after all, he was the unworthy descendant and the last king who had lost the inheritance left by his ancestors! If it weren't for Han Xing's appearance, he would even have to put his head in~

"I'm going, the western part of Ispaora (present-day Haiti) is actually a French colony? The famous Tortuga (also translated as Totuga, Tutuga, and Turtle Island) in the movie was actually occupied by France? Han Xing was stunned (bī).

"Yes, I've heard of all these names, but in the past, the small islands in the Caribbean Sea didn't seem to me to be worth mentioning! If you've looked at France's colonies in North America before the Seven Years' War, you're not interested in a few small islands in the Caribbean! At that time, Upper and Lower Louisiana, Quebec in Canada and other places, except for the thirteen colonies of East America and Spanish Florida, most of North America was once in the hands of our France! Louis XVI pursed his lips, looked at the oil painting, and the map on the side, and sighed.

"You mean to say that you wish I could lead the fleet to regain these lost territories?" Han Xing looked at Governor Pierre Breed and asked in surprise.

"That's right! However, France has been at a disadvantage in the Caribbean (shēn) for a long time, if it were not for the islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique, which were legal territories that France exchanged for French Canadian colonies after the Seven Years' War. I'm afraid it has already been taken away by Britain again! Governor Pierre Brad sighed.

"The top priority is to solve the problem of piracy!" Governor Pierre Bred sat back in his chair, then took out a finely crafted silver snuffbox, took a deep breath, and continued:

"Over the years, I have not failed to report and ask for the homeland to send fleets and troops to come to the rescue, but neither His Majesty Louis XVI nor the Jacobin government under Robespierre have turned a deaf ear to this. Letters after letters were sent, but they were all lost, so much so that the pirates had now established a smuggling port in the eastern part of the island called François! Hearing this, Louis XVI was so ashamed that he wanted to bury his head in the bore (xiōng)!

"I'll go, this pirate is too rampant, isn't it? On the island of Martinique, under the nose of the governor of the French Caribbean colony, a pirate port was built? Han Xing was stunned when he heard this, how miserable this France is in the Caribbean! So much so that pirates dare to kick their noses in the face of bullying?

"I know what you want to ask, I also have more than 2,000 troops on hand, but these 2,000 men are enough to defend Port Saint-Pierre, and if you want to divide your forces to attack François, you can't do it! And most importantly, as you can see, Martinique is divided into east and west by the mountains that are too difficult and time-consuming to climb. Let's go by boat, but you have to worry about the attack of the pirate ship! Over time, I had no choice but to let it go! Governor Pierre Brad sighed.

"But, now it's different! Major General Segaard, you are my savior! With you and the help of your fleet, we can occupy this pirate port and put Martinique, once again, in the hands of the French motherland! Governor Pierre Breed looked at Han Xing's eyes, shining with golden light. This middle-aged man, who has already known the destiny of heaven, has once again regained the ambition and infinite vitality of his youth.

"You have been given the French Power Mission: Reclaim François. The mission objective is to use all means to occupy the port of François in the east of Martinique! Assigned by: Pierre Braid, Governor of the French Caribbean Colonies. Completion rewards: 1000 points, 500 reputation, 1000 contribution points. ”

"Contribution?" When Han Xing heard this term, he wondered for a while.

"You've unlocked the contribution system. Contribution Points, the currency within the faction, can be used to promote ranks, exchange for faction-specific items, as well as titles, positions, and control of armies. It seemed that Han Xing's heart was heard, and a gentle and sweet female voice explained.

"Major General Segaard, if you can recover François, I will award you the highest reward within my authority - a privateer license!" Obviously, if you want people to work hard, you have to come up with some rewards, right? So said Governor Pierre Breed.

Han Xing was noncommittal, but he said disdainfully in his heart: "Privateer license? What a name! In fact, it's just a piece of waste paper, if the British have a privateer license that's fine, France's? In view of the current embarrassing situation in France, what is the use of the privateering license issued by France? Rubbing (pì) shares are too hard! ”

"Besides, what do you think of me? Can I do that kind of dirty thing of burning, killing and looting, and raise the pirate flag to be a bandit? Of course not! I will go and rob the British ship under the banner of France! He is a serious rear admiral of France, and he is the official force that leads his own fleet and represents the warring forces of France and foreign countries! Can the affairs between countries (qíng) be called stealing and robbing? That's called occupation, seizure, confiscation, and there is one more "legal" in front of it. It's called pattern! Han Xing said with disdain in his heart,

What's more, with Han Xing's strength, if he wants to be a pirate, and give him time to develop. Even if the Royal Navy of Great Britain comes, it may not be able to catch him! Unless it's Nelson himself, want to catch him? Just one word, difficult!!

"Rest assured, Your Excellency the Governor, I will not let you down!" However, in order to establish a foundation of peace and trust for cooperation, Han Xing still put on a flattered look.

"Hey, this gentleman next to Major General Segaard (shēn) is so good-looking!" Shortly after Han Xing and Louis XVI turned (shēn) left, the governor of Pierre Braid, looked at the backs of Han Xing and Louis XVI through the floor-to-ceiling windows, suddenly scratched his head and muttered quietly.
