Chapter Ninety-Three: Chaotic War (4)
These 'business representatives' have traveled south and north for many years, each with their own means, and they are quite sure that they will become "irreplaceable employees of the company". Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Thinking about it from another angle, it's still a little exciting: the information collected now, the company's top management is just four people, one blame and five directors, and the rest are all 'kobolds' who are not much taller than their knees.
And three of the four people are children at all, and the remaining big monsters squat in the pit all day long and don't like to go out, and only one middle-aged 'Indian Lolita' is working - this shows a problem, the company lacks enough strong people to come out and take charge of it!
The truth of the world is that the bigger the business, the more we need 'executives' to preside over the party, and who says that we 'business representatives' can't become 'executives'?
But there is a premise for all this, which is to capture the pirate port of Essaouira and operate it. Squatting in the castle tower to sell arms to infidels like this, and opening a few restaurants and casinos by the way, such as simple business, really doesn't show our skills!
So the first thing that came to the eyes of the 'business representatives' was how to fool the heads of the company into sending troops to the pirate port of Essaouira.
Old Captain Garcia: "As I recall, the company has already bought a few three-masted galleons from pirates, and with the pirate ships from Soveira, it is completely possible to organize an ocean-going fleet." I think the company should have a broader perspective, and the profits of inland trade in North Africa are too low, not even a fraction of that of ocean trade! It just so happens that I know a little bit about ocean trade. ”
Camacho, a livestock and fur dealer: "I remember one thing, the main product of the company's trade in Europe was munitions, and it could only pass through the Portuguese company in the port of Agadir......, which seriously affected sales!
Everyone nodded, Spain is at war all over the world, Portugal has just declared independence, and it will definitely not sell him cannons!
Garcia: "We're Portuguese, isn't it okay to sell to a hostile country?"
Camacho said: "The war between Spain and Portugal was a land war, a territorial war between the nobles! The sea was actually peaceful, so it didn't matter if you sold the heavy artillery on the warship!"
When you think about it, this is really the case, naval artillery is not good on land, and at most it can only defend the city! In the same way, naval artillery can also be sold to the enemies of Christendom, the Ottomans! Anyway, they mainly rely on land forces to attack the Crusader countries.
Well, the demon gave the cannon to the Crusaders and sold it to the Star-Moon cultists, and this business has been done for a long time without any problems.
Antonio: "I remember that the company has been buying people to enrich Agadir, why not think about Europe? Germany and the Netherlands are full of bankrupt peasants, and they don't have to pay for a single penny, and the lords who hate the homeless people may be able to subsidize some money!"
Garcia: "They're all Crucidian people, isn't it good to sell them to the demons?"
Antonio: "This is for the glory of the Crucifixion! Agadir is already full of the Star and Moon Cults, we need more Crucidian populations to overpower them! Besides, staying there will only starve to death, and we are doing good deeds!"
A few people sold the European fellows cleanly, unlocked a lot of new postures for the leading party, and quickly wrote it into PPT and handed it over to the kobold Taijun and the master of the traverser for reference.
At the same time, in a secret bay north of Agadir, six square-headed 'littoral combat ships' had been completed, and had been simply named Finless Porpoise 1 to 6.
The 600-ton Finless Porpoise-type battleship, equipped with more than 40 heavy guns, can be regarded as a large ship in this era. Unfortunately, the structural strength of these ships is not strong enough, and the longitudinal strength is maintained by a few auxiliary keels spliced from small wooden squares, and the offshore voyages are all trembling, and the ocean routes are unthinkable.
Liu Jingtian, who was squatting at home, was also struggling with one thing: "The ship has been built and there are enough people, should you send troops to Essaouira Pirate Port?"
But unlike those 'business representatives' who love money, he thinks more.
My big dog country is now thriving, gold and silver are not worried, grain warehouses are full, livestock is growing steadily, and the only thing that cannot be self-sufficient is high-end wood and coal and iron.
If you eat the pirate port, although you can get a few ships for nothing, you may also fall out with Marrakech, the big money behind the pirates, and an important trade route will be broken. Moreover, Portugal is full of ears and eyes and is very well-informed, and if you don't do it well, you will make small moves.
For the sake of a few ships and a harbor that I don't know if it is useful or not, it seems that the gains outweigh the losses...... Liu Jingtian also had no choice, while letting the kobold sailors go on board for training, while waiting for the opportunity, anyway, the 'Essaouira Bandit Plan' was shelved indefinitely.
Unexpectedly, when this plan was about to be abandoned, the 'business representatives' sent the 'Essaouira Port Development Plan' in a timely manner, which was really a relief in the snow!
"As long as you take this harbor, you will have a new source of immigrants, you will be able to import materials from the ocean trade, and you will be able to sell your cannons for a good price...... It's too idealistic, isn't it, when did this Essaouira become so powerful?"
After reading this material, Liu Jingtian was also drunk.
"No, you're also from Portugal, a country with a religious fanaticism of +5, why are you so concerned about the kobold's career? It's okay to make a little money in the oasis, and you don't have to go to the construction site to move bricks, but now it's equivalent to helping the kobold expand, which is not scientific...... There's got to be something wrong with that!"
It's not my race, I have to guard against it, these guys must want to go to the Vatican to report it with their real names!
The suspicious and cautious demon king, remotely controlling Xu Ping'an, is pouring wine and knocking on the side of the business representatives, so be sure to set out their conspiracy!
Actually, he thought too much.
Everyone is not entangled in their behavior at all, one is more upright than the other, and they sell a good hand:
Garcia: I'm just a captain! I've spent most of my life at sea, and I've never taken a sip of Portuguese water. In order to be tax-free, the ship has the flags of several countries all year round, and I don't even know which country I am from...... I don't understand what you say about expansion or not.
Camacho: You don't understand me at all! The villain is loyal to the Kingdom of Portugal! Now that the kingdom is silent and buries itself in business with the company, I naturally have to keep my mouth shut for the sake of the motherland! But if the king has already spoken up, it will not be the turn of a small character like us to speak up!
Antonio: Actually, I'm an Italian, and the Six Kingdoms have been suffering for a long time, no, the corrupt guys in the Vatican have long been angry, and the Italian city-states have long been hating each other...... But I just want to save enough money to immigrate to the Republic of Venice as soon as possible, how can you laymen understand the forced green card in developed countries.
Liu Jingtian and Xu Ping'an: "All of them are human spirits, and you can't underestimate anyone......"
