In the captain's cabin of the Vostok.

"Of course!" Blackjack was not polite, he took the metal pot from the silver platter, poured himself a glass, and drank it generously.

"So, Major General Segaard, how did you become a major general in France? And this extremely gorgeous boat, where did you get it? I remember, last time, you didn't have such a majestic and mighty fleet~" Hei can play with the ship model of the Vostok.

"You can think of it as a miracle, and there are many more things that are inconceivable for you (qíng) on me (shēn)!" Han Xing pretended to smile mysteriously.

"Yes, you have a magician under you! What else (qíng) is impossible? Magic, oh my God, what an amazing mystical power, I've only heard of it, but it's the first time I've seen it with my own eyes! That image still lingers in my mind~" Black Jack's mind seemed to return to the moment he returned to the Naciby, so much so that he inadvertently flipped the cup on its side and poured (rè) coco on his thigh, without realizing it.

Han Xing just tapped the cup lightly and hooked his fingers, and someone came to replace the carpet, wipe down the table, and clean up for Black Jack.

"Where did we just go? I think we should talk about your piracy, knowing that I am now the commander of the fleet of the French Caribbean colonies, and it is my duty to fight lawlessness. Han Xing took out a white silk handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the corners of his mouth and said.

"So what are you going to do with me? Hang me, the Caribbean's traditional way of dealing with pirates! Or send me to the guillotine? I've heard that this way of death is popular in France (tǐng)~It's worth a try, I like French goods~" Black Jack said with a hippie smile.

"Before I do that, I want to ask you a question, what is your relationship with that Captain Jack Sparrow? Are you his illegitimate son? Why are your mannerisms and even demeanors so similar? Even the dress is basically the same? When Han Xing heard the sentence "I like French goods", he immediately remembered Captain Jack Sparrow in the movie, so he asked.

"No, no, no, I'm not related to that Captain Jack Sparrow! As I have said, my father was a merchant captain who piloted the Frut merchant ship, the Naciby. However, Captain Jack Sparrow is my idol, and almost all pirates in the Caribbean have heard of Captain Jack Sparrow! You may not know that when I was younger, all the bad things (qíng) hadn't happened. The Nasibi had met the Caribbean legend, and he used the swift Black Pearl, which was then called the Bad Girl. (bī) stopped the Nasibi, and then, with small broken steps, stepped gracefully onto our ship. He only demanded that we hand over two-thirds of the goods, and then kept his promise and sailed away. Blackjack said slowly in an admiring tone.

"Sense (qíng) This guy is Captain Jack's little fan brother~" Han Xing snickered in his heart when he heard this.

"I still remember my father saying: Nowadays, in the Caribbean, there are not many people who are so principled and trustworthy! Jack, remember, no matter what you do, you must have your own bottom line, have your own principles, talk about credibility, keep integrity, right and wrong, and have a scale in your heart! Maybe one day, the whole world will fall into the abyss, and people will become deceitful and have no trust in each other, but you can't follow them down the wrong path, and never give up the light of hope in our hearts!

Maybe it's because of my father's compliments, maybe it's because he and I are both called Jack, I feel like I see my future self in him (shēn), I mean, I want to be like him, elegant, principled, trustworthy, and as majestic as he is, famous all over the world, with a ship of my own, free to come and go on the endless seas! As if thinking of his father, Black Jack's eyes instantly turned red, and he burst into tears, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his cuffs, and forced a reluctant smile to say:

"But come to think of it, my father was wrong in the end! He trusts others too easily, and he always thinks that by planting the seeds of kindness and humility, he will reap the respect and friendship of others, but in the end, all he gets is a dagger pierced into the bore (xiōng)·····"

"Don't think so, Jack! Kindness is never a mistake, but in the far East, there is a saying: you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to defend people. Don't let kindness become a weapon that others use to hurt you, and don't let kindness be wasted on people (shēn) who shouldn't be the same! Always remember that giving is not about giving in return, and when you give, don't expect anything in return so that you are never disappointed! At this time, when someone reciprocates you, it will become a kind of surprise! Han Xing sighed.

"You know what? The tone of your voice is very similar to my father~" Black Jack glanced at Han Xing, and then said with a straight face: "So, Major General Segaard, do you think I belong to the kind of person you said deserves to be shared (qíng)?" ”

"What do you think? If I'm going to send you to the gallows or guillotine, why bother talking so much nonsense with you? Han Xing said with a playful smile.

"So. Let's talk about cooperation (qíng)! I admire you (Nima, I've hit you again, I'm really wanting to fall in love with you······ Appreciate it carefully~), Mr. Jack Black, are you interested in joining the French power? Han Xing tapped his knuckles on the table.

"I don't really want to, (shēn) is a pirate, I travel freely in the seven seas, why should I join the official forces and be angry with others?" Blackjack shook his head like a rattle.

"Are you sure your life is in my hands?" Han Xing asked angrily and funny.

"That's what I don't understand the most, I said, Captain Segaard, you have a magician under you! If you are a pirate, and then rely on this powerful fleet, crisscrossing the seven seas, happy to revenge, or it won't be long before you can accumulate unimaginable wealth and become the existence of the three legendary warships, why are you willing to be a lackey for the French? Blackjack persuaded Han Xing instead.

"What's more, even if you want to join the official power, you should also join the current maritime hegemon of the British, no matter how bad it is, you should also join the current American hegemon, Spain! France's glorious days have long since passed, and if it were in the seventeenth century, before the Seven Years' War, when France occupied half of North America, it would have been about the same. Today's France is not even as powerful in the Caribbean as the Dutch~"

Don't look at Blackjack as just a pirate leader, when you analyze the current situation, it's a tào. It can be seen that he is also a person with a considerable sense of the big picture, but his attention is so focused on the Caribbean that he does not notice the changes in the European continent.

"Okay, I originally persuaded you to join France, but now it's you who persuade me to change my career to become a pirate~" Han Xing suddenly laughed in his heart when he heard this, if it weren't for Han Xing's overall situation, maybe he was really moved by this guy's words!

"Cough~cough~" Han Xing immediately cleared his throat, then spread out a map of Europe and asked, "Jack, do you know what this is?" ”

"The map~ It's not a treasure map, what's there to see~" Blackjack glanced away, and then looked away, lacking interest.

"I ask you, how many years is it in the AD calendar?" Han Xing had no choice but to continue asking.

"Think about it, how many years has it been, I can't remember! To me, the eighteenth century still seems to be close at hand, but in a blink of an eye, I have already lived to the nineteenth century~" Blackjack sighed, revealing a sad look on his face.

"It's 1804, and judging by the weather, it's the height of summer! Take a good look at this map, it's a map of the political situation on the continent! Han Xing pouted.

Hearing this, Jack scanned the map with a lack of interest, and then exclaimed, "Oh my God, why is the territory of France so big?" When I was a child, my father also told me about the form of the European continent, and at that time, the map was not drawn like this! I remember back then, what was this piece of Saxa, this part was Milan, and wasn't the Papal State independent? ”

"That's right, you're looking at the latest map of Europe! In today's France, under the rule of Napoleon Bonaparte, northern Italy, including Rome, has fallen under the direct control of France, and Spain and the Netherlands have successively allied with France and joined the Napoleonic order. This means that by gathering the strength of the three countries, France already has the strength to challenge Britain's maritime supremacy! Han Xing drew an imaginary circle with his finger on the map, outlining a vast area stretching from the English Channel to the north, the Iberian Peninsula to the south, and Rome to the east.

"Do you mean that France is likely to rise, and that, as the continental situation takes a turn for the worse, France will replace Britain as maritime supremacy, or even as the whole of Europe? And how will the situation in the Caribbean be turned upside down as a result? "Jack Black is not a fool, Han Xing only mentioned it slightly, and he suddenly realized.

"Who is Napoleon? But the name Napoleon Bonaparte sounds weird, it's like an Italian name! I remember that there was a city in southern Italy called Naples ~ he wouldn't have come from there, would he? Blackjack smacked his tongue.

"I'm really playing the piano to the cow~" Han Xingbu (jìn) said helplessly with his hand on his forehead.

"Anyway, he is a legend, a ruthless character~ Most of France's territory today is obtained by relying on his expeditions! This guy has led France and the whole of Europe to fight many times, but instead of losing, he has become stronger and stronger, and his territory has become bigger and bigger. Han Xing had no choice but to summarize briefly.
