Chapter 429: Nicolaus' Joining
I saw that Nikolaus stretched out his hand to the handguard knife used for decoration on his waist, and Han Xing had already quietly stretched out his right hand to the broken heart on his left waist without a trace, under the cover of the blue silver-veined cloak.
However, the expected burst of blows did not materialize, and instead Nicolaus drew the blade with the gilded gauntlet from his waist, bowed (shēn) and offered it both hands, saying, "We, the Motorcycles, have decided to join you, Mr. Segaard!" ”
"Huh?" Han Xing didn't understand a hundred things in his heart, and was completely stunned when he heard this.
"Mr. Segaard, if I want to attack you, I will never use what I am best at!" Nikolaus smiled slightly.
"Are you sure you want to join? I mean, don't you need to consult with your brothers before you decide? Han Xing couldn't believe it at all.
"I'm sure, Mr. Segaard! I've already heard the conversation you had with those pirates just now~" Nikolaus held the sword (shēn) in both hands, pointed the tip of the sword to himself, and handed the gilded hilt to Han Xingdao.
"Well, Mr. Brotowski, since you have made up your mind, I have no reason to turn you away!" Han Xing nodded, took the gauntlet gold-plated long sword, took a closer look, and then praised a few words of workmanship, and returned it to Nikolaus.
Like Han Xing, who was as surprised and incredulous as the many pirates present, they couldn't believe their eyes at all, and their godlike Captain Nikolaus Brotowski actually chose to give in to the French. But that's what happened, and judging by Nikolaus's determined eyes, it was clear that he had made up his mind.
With the submission of Nikolaus and the motorcycle gang, the pirates present completely lost their arrogance and chose to join the "French Pirate League" formed by Han Xing. Now that Tortuga is in trouble, Han Xing is ready to embark on the road to the last stop of the trip, Santo Domingo, west of Ispaola.
In the port of Tortuga, Han Xing saw the ship that belonged to the motorcycle gang, I have to say, this Nikolaus is also a character, in just a few months, it has been changed from shotgun, and now the ship is actually a Galen sailboat!
"I have to say, Captain Brotowski, I admire your ability very much~" Han Xing looked at the behemoth that stayed in the harbor and smacked his tongue.
"I don't think there's anything to be proud of, it's not difficult to get a high-grade ship with modern firearms~ On the contrary, you, Mr. Segaard, I am amazed by your achievements!" Nicolaus said with a rare smile when he heard this.
"I'm curious, what made you want to join me?" Han Xing still feels confused, he and the motorcycle gang are not friends (qíng), and even a little dirty first.
"Mr. Segaard, I am a rough man, but I am not stupid! You're definitely the best of all the reincarnations I've seen a lot! It took only two months to climb from shēn to lieutenant general in the French Empire and to have a sizable fleet. I've seen with my own eyes that your charisma is not high, so there's only one possibility - you have some kind of meritorious prop!
All this cannot be explained by coincidence! The only possibility is that you made a lot of planning before you came to the world of this drama (qíng)! And the original boat, I don't think there really will be a boat that pops out of nowhere, on the contrary, I know that there is only one possibility - Mr. Segaard, you are a realm master! Nikolaus's blue eyes shone with a glint that did not match his appearance.
"It seems that you are not simple, Mr. Brotowski!" Han Xing was noncommittal, but praised with a smile.
"Unlike those fools, I'm a Russian! In the history of Russia, there are two invasions that deserve to be remembered by future generations: one is the invasion of Germany during the famous World War II, and the great patriotic war staged a singing and crying deed, needless to say.
And the other, which is easy to forget, is the Napoleonic invasion of Russia. I am a native of the country, so I have studied and compared these two events in depth. But I came to the conclusion that even I couldn't believe that Napoleon's invasion of Russia was even more deadly than Germany's! This Mr. Nicolaus was unusual, not at all like a reciturn and reckless man who "didn't talk much", but he was agitated and talked.
"Unlike Germany, which was constrained by Britain, the United States and other countries in World War II, the only constraint in France in the Napoleonic era was Britain. At that time, the United States was a natural ally of France, and in line with the instinctive hatred of British colonialism, the United States had a high probability of joining the French camp, if it were not for the fact that the United States had not yet developed at that time, history would have been completely rewritten! As much as I despise the little Corsican madman, I have to admit that he is the closest man to a unified continent. So, I began to make up all the information about Napoleon..." When Napoleon is mentioned, the (ài) countryman makes no secret of his disgust, calling him "a little madman from Corsica".
"As I entered the infinite world, books and knowledge were gradually left behind, and before entering this [Pirates of the Caribbean] world, I never thought about where the timeline of this story was in the real world. But when I learned that it was really November 1804~ I realized that the timeline of the Pirates of the Caribbean was likely to coincide with the famous Napoleonic era! "This tall, vicious Russian has a rare expression of a fearful god (qíng).
"Monsieur Segaard, you can think of using Napoleon's style to completely change the landscape of the Caribbean, I have to say, I am really struck by your grand plan, this is an absolutely genius idea! I admire your pattern and vision! I think that in the next step, you will probably use Napoleon's new European order and the combined fleet of France, Spain, and the Netherlands to defeat the British Royal Navy in the Battle of Trafalgar next year.
When the time comes, the whole Caribbean, no, the whole world, will be in the hands of France! And you're playing the role of Beckett, with countless ships and cannons, and if you don't make the kind of low-level mistakes that Beckett made, the whole Caribbean will fall under your control, and in the upcoming drama (qíng), you will have the advantage! This Mr. Nicolaus's eyes were full of admiration and longing when he looked at Han Xing, but he didn't expect that this Russian rough man would actually eat Han Xing's plan thoroughly!
"Your plans, Mr. Segaard, are indeed ambitious, but you have overlooked two things. First of all, all this was based on the victory of the combined fleet in the Battle of Trafalgar. Secondly, that little man from Corsica is a war maniac who is known for his arrogance and conceit, and even with your help, there is no guarantee that he will not make the stupid decision to invade our Russia because of his conceit! ”
"It's close! There is a saying that "a man cannot be seen, and the sea cannot be measured", Mr. Nicolaus, this sentence is just right for you (shēn)! You really surprised me, but I also have my reliance, and you underestimated my weight in front of that little man! The Battle of Trafalgar will most likely not break out next year, and the madness of the expedition to Russia will never happen! Han Xing applauded and said with a confident smile.
"I have to say, the more I get to know you, Mr. Segaard, the more I am glad I have just made a wise decision! It is unwise to go against a realm master, and it is even more self-defeating to go against a realm lord with such a long-term vision and plan. I can't imagine how useful (shēn) can be in the middle of a magnificent sea, facing a huge fleet as vast as a sea of smoke, guns, bloodlines, and abilities! Nicolaus had a feeling that the mountains were standing up, and Han Xing's (shēn) form seemed to rise tall in front of him in an instant.
By the way, what do you mean by the phrase "people must not touch elephants, and the sea water must not be measured", it sounds like an ancient saying of the Celestial Empire? Nikolaus asked suddenly.
"I'll tell you the truth, I'm actually an authentic Celestial Empire, just to walk in the Western Kingdom, I had to change into this layer of skin~" Han Xing sighed.
"It turns out that you are from our southern friend, I have always heard that the people of the Celestial Empire are the most intelligent race in the world, I didn't believe it in the past, but now I really believe it!" Nikolaus looked abruptly enlightened. Of course, wisdom here refers to the wisdom of survival, political wisdom, and the ability to perceive the current situation and grasp the plan.
At this point, Han Xing finally thoroughly understood the reason why this Mr. Nicholaus chose to join him! It turns out that before you know it, Han Xingben (shēn) has become a "big mountain" in the Caribbean, with an impressively large power!
After this, Han Xing went south to recover Santo Domingue in Ispaola, and with strong ships and cannons, he dealt with a group of natives, which is really not a feat worth boasting about. In the end, under Han Xing's strong "persuasion", the local natives chose to give in, and their leader was sentenced to death for the rebellion, in exchange for the participating tribesmen to keep a piece of indigenous land in Ispaola.
So far, Han Xing has been able to complete the task of recovering the lost territory, and has recorded 3500 points, 3500 contribution points, and 2000 reputation. And with this, he completed the third task of the prestige series, became a household name, and once again gained 5,000 points, still ranking second in the standings.
