Su Mu asked to communicate with Captain Gomez. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Captain Gomes, long time no see, I wonder how you know I'm in the Lighthouse?" Su Mu asked curiously.
"Sue, have you forgotten that you brought back a batch of rare treasures from the Eastern Route? The people of the whole planet know about your coming. ”
Su Mu was reminded by Gomez that he had indeed returned to Lighthouse Star with glory, especially since he was carrying goods on the Eastern Route that many people had dreamed of, so it attracted much more attention than usual.
"So, I wonder what happened to Captain Gomes finding me?" Su Mu asked, he remembered that he didn't have much friendship with the other party.
"Sue... Do you know about the formation of the second royal expedition fleet by the Count of Joao? Gomez whispered to him.
"But what's wrong with this?" Su Mu muttered, "I believe that Sir Blanco will not be afraid of the competition of the second exploration fleet, and will definitely be able to arrive in the Ryuku Kingdom with the exploration fleet and completely open up the eastern route." ”
"Sue, you really have a lot of confidence in Jazz!!" Even Gomez was a little surprised, where did Su Mu get his strong confidence, you know, if the Eastern Route was really destined to fall into Blanco's hands, why did they still not be able to break through the shackles of the Henggu Star Gate for more than three years?
Gomes decided not to go around in circles anymore, and told Su Mu on the spot about his intentions, which turned out to be really related to himself, to put it simply, the previous time he personally led the fleet to defend the pioneer and defeat the enemy fleet, plus recently brought a small part of the treasures of the Eastern Route, which laid the confidence of the people, the pioneers, and the king in the Eastern Route, making himself a thorn in the side of the Count of João and the second expedition fleet he promoted.
After listening to Gomez's words, Su Mu finally knew what was going on, did he unknowingly be regarded as Sir Blanco's ally? In this case, considering the fierce competition between Sir Blanco and Count Joao for the final battle for the Eastern Route, he will indeed face a great crisis.
"Sue, you should have thought of the reason why I wanted to find you, and yes, I knew a long time ago that you seemed to be asking me what I was doing at Beacon Star, and I guess I was concerned about it."
Gomes said firmly: "In order to reach the end of the Eastern Route, the Kingdom of Ryuga, although we are hundreds of light years away from Sir Blanco, we have an important mission, and only by hindering the operation of the Second Exploration Fleet can we make the final victory belong to us. ”
"So on behalf of Sir I, I invite you to join us, become our allies, and fight together for that goal!"
Su Mu began to think about how he should choose, his original plan was to remain neutral, but now it seems that there is no way to avoid it, first of all, due to the location of his own exploration, once Count Joao forms his second exploration fleet, he will definitely start from his own exploration first, block the link between Blanco and the kingdom, and then he can do whatever he wants.
However, he was strange that he obviously didn't show any intention of taking sides, why didn't he see Count Joao invite him, otherwise, he might have agreed to join in first?
It doesn't make much sense to think about this now, Su Mu recalled how the San Carran Pioneer Land had survived this crisis at that time, but no player in the history of San Carran had it, and the most powerful players at that time were the ones who owned the fleet and their own companies, but they were not as fast as the Kai Hang, and the real owner was actually Baron Asturias.
And at that time, St. Caran had not yet developed and was not so important, resulting in the competition between the two major exploration fleets with the Henggu Star Gate as the stage, and both sides relied on their strong forces to constantly conquer one small country after another, and expelled each other's personnel.
The second expedition was too late, and the journey from Lighthouse to Henggu Gate was an immense one, and Sir Blanco was about to break through the blockade, and the end result was his victory.
Su Mu thought about it for a long time, and probably thought of a way.
"Sue, I don't know what your decision was?" Gomes was a little puzzled by Su Mu's performance, and he didn't know what he was thinking about, but the composure on his face was revealed, and he was not worried about the destruction of the pioneer at all, which was worthy of the young senior pioneer who had risen in recent years, and this alone was something he couldn't do.
"Captain Gomes, what good will it be if I join? I don't think the wise Sir Blanco will draw me into joining in and confronting Count João by not giving me anything. ”
"Of course." Gomes has already prepared," Sir Blanco has promised, once the Eastern Route is fully opened, you can have a merchant ship in the royal fleet that you own to invest in, and all the profits will belong to you for a period of 100 years. ”
This is not a low salary, even a high and somewhat amazing reward, according to a business-type spacecraft carrying capacity of 120,000 tons, and 100 times the profit, it can bring about 150 billion profits to itself a year.
Su Mu sneered: "Your Majesty the King is probably reluctant, right?" ”
Gomez wondered: "Sue, why do you say that?" ”
"It's very simple, the final decision is made by His Majesty, I don't think His Majesty is willing to give such a big profit to others, you must know that the size of the trade fleet will not exceed 20 ships at that time, and I am an outsider alone to take 1/20 of the profit, is it possible?"
"Sorry, I'm not interested in this." Su Mu finished speaking categorically.
"If, according to the rules of the last time, give me 10 ships of loot captured from the enemy, I am willing to consider it."
Gomes was a little surprised: "Su, are you really willing to give up the Eastern Route?" It's a world full of gold. In exchange for 10 ships of booty, I am afraid that there may not even be a fraction of the future year. ”
Su Mu shook his head: "I don't like unrealistic promises. He knew in his heart that it was really empty, and even later generations even Blanco and other discoverers of the Eastern Route only received 1/10 of the profits, and the rest went to the king, the great nobles, and low-key merchants, so you can imagine how low the probability of 100% execution of this promise is.
Of course, if Blanco is willing, he can easily make a large profit through small tricks, and the problem is that he is too loyal to the king personally, and finally has to agree to cede his interests in a dilemma, but he still retains the false name of the governor of Ryukus, so Su Mu does not expect such a deviation from history to happen at all.
If he is really interested, it should be a few decades later, uniting the other two major companies that don't know if they will appear or not, the Camelot Dongliugu Company and the United Dongliugu Company, to snatch the Eastern Route, so that he can completely have the final say, so that it will not be just an illusion that can be broken at a poke.
Gomez obviously didn't expect Su Mu to be so resolute, he weighed it, anyway, he believed that Su Mu would not be their enemy, 10 ships of loot were worth more than 50 billion, although it was a large amount, it was only enough to buy a merchant-type faster-than-light spaceship, not as valuable as the one they promised before.
He decided to agree, since it would take at least a week for the Beacon Star's quantum communicator to reach the distant Henggu Star Gate, he couldn't wait for Sir Blanco to make a decision, and he had to make a choice on the spot.
Su Mu immediately smiled when he saw that his goal was successful, so that he instantly had an extra income of 50 billion, even if this money allowed him to throw off his arms and go into battle in person to argue with Count Joao, not to mention that he thought of a safer way.
The two sides hugged each other, and Su Mu said, "To celebrate our alliance, Captain Gomez, let me tell you what I just thought of, a good way to hinder the second exploration fleet, let's discuss it together." ”
