Appearance:

"We can take what we need!"

Helena looked at Quan Xu with a serious face: "I am very beautiful, and I have a good figure, it is no exaggeration to say that my body is the most perfect, you see, here, here, no inch of meat is superfluous!" ”

This is a matter of philosophy, Helena talks about her beauty, unreservedly.

And she wears a tight-fitting swimsuit, which can better reflect her figure.

"Are you Venetians so open? It's the first time I've seen someone else as a lover, and I'm so arrogant! ”

Jeon Wook was a little incomprehensible.

Perhaps seeing Jeon Xu's doubts, Helena explained with a smile, "Don't you understand? In Europe, if there is a woman of some status, who does not have a lover outside? If there is no lover to support, I don't know how many knights will starve to death! ”

Quan Xu nodded slowly: "If you want to live a decent life, you must have a little green on your head?" ”

"However, you can rest assured, I know that you Oriental men all have virgin plots!"

Helena reached out and put her arm around Quan Xu: "You can rest assured, I'm still a virgin, like a fake!" ”

"No, you ......"

Helena looked at Quan Xu almost unscrupulously: "You are very young, and you have a heavy army, and you manage countless people and lands, you are simply the best lover...... Let's take what we need, I will not only be your partner in life, but also your partner in your career, and believe me, I will definitely make your wealth increase at an astonishing rate......"

I have to say that for a moment, Quan Xu's heart was moved.

This is by no means a sycophant, even if he has seen countless female models, female stars, and even chasing stars in modern times, this foreign girl can be called amazing, this figure, this appearance, in Europe, first-class beauties are proper.

"Sounds great!"

Quan Xu smiled faintly and said: "We have a proverb in China, which says that if you marry a man, you don't marry a mother, and if you marry a wife, you don't marry a demon, but the problem is that you are not only a demon who helps your brother, but also a demon who helps the whole country, and I can't afford to use your beauty!" ”

The Venetian city-state republic of this period was very similar to later Israel. Their country is small and outnumbered, and in the face of the attack of the behemoth, they stubbornly resisted.

Of course, many people will say that Israel, with the support of the Americans, is bullying the Palestinians. In fact, Israel is not facing a single Palestine, but the entire Arab empire.

Just like in the first Middle East war, Egypt sent 7,000 troops, 7,500 troops from the "Arab Legion" in Transjordan, 5,000 from Syria, 10,000 from Iraq, 2,000 from Lebanon, and more than 10,000 from the "Arab Liberation Army" and the "Arab Salvation Army", totaling 43,000 troops.

In fact, the naval war between the Venetian city-state republic and the Ottoman Empire began in 1453 AD when the Ottoman Empire captured Constantinople, and the Ottoman Empire has not had an absolute advantage in the naval battles for more than 200 years.

Of course, Venice was the first naval power in Europe, with more than 3,300 ships and more than 36,000 warriors on board.

However, in such a peak period, a small country with only 180,000 people actually resisted for more than 300 years, and I have to say that this is an incredible miracle.

This can also show from the side how much water the Ottoman Empire really had.

Helena said with some regret: "You are wrong, although these words are a little unexpected, I can still understand the gist, are you afraid that Venice will become a burden to you?" Oh, you don't have to worry, really, our relationship with Venice is like a normal business partner, how much you should sell, not a lot, in fact, you also have great ambitions for Europe, don't you? ”

"Europe, ambition?"

Jeon Wook came out of the pool, soaked in the water for a long time, his skin was already wrinkled, he wrapped up a bath towel and lay on the deck chair under the parasol: "What do you say?" ”

"You have three huge shipyards, with a stockpile of lumber as large as a mountain, and your factories are working day and night, and tens of thousands of workers are working hard, and you can build a huge fleet every year!"

Helena smiled: "If you only need to dominate the Eastern Seas, it's enough, isn't it?" Neither the Dutch Far East Combined Fleet nor the Portuguese Fleet, including the former Sea Overlord Zheng, are no match for you, even if all of them are combined. So, your goal is not to dominate the Eastern Seas, but to Europe! ”

Jeon Wook closed his eyes and ignored Helena.

Helena: "How many ships do you need to build to consume the wood you have in stockpile?" I did a rough calculation, at least three to five Spanish armadas will be able to consume the wood you use, one Spanish armada, and let the Kingdom of Spain dominate Europe for a hundred years! ”

The size of the Spanish Armada was one hundred and thirty-four warships, with a total tonnage of 57,868 tons, and 2,431 guns. The fleet had 8,766 crews, 2,088 oarsman slaves, 21,855 soldiers and 300 priests.

Of course, this kind of warship was quite huge at that time, and it was placed in Chongzhen for six years, in fact, it was far behind, at that time, the main Spanish warship, the Bis Kai warship was 1,200 tons, a total of 31, the Cruz ship was 1,500 tons, only three, and the other hundreds were used to fill the number of large and small warships.

Although the main fleet of the Second Fleet of the Whole Family Army was only sixteen, it was 8,000 to 10,000 materials, and this kind of warship was far more than the main Spanish warships at that time. About the same size as British or Dutch ships of the second or third class.

Two years ago, Helena could still take seventeen large ships with a displacement of more than a thousand tons and be proud in front of Quan Xu, but now, Venice's Far Eastern Fleet is no longer enough.

This is the gap, what is even more desperate is the speed at which Quanxu built warships, in two years, Venice built a total of five warships of more than 1,000 tons, while Quanxu built twenty-four.

That's right, in early July, the whole family navy received eight more large warships of 10,000 materials. This fleet is now not part of the Second Fleet, but is intended to replace the First Fleet stationed in Vladivostok, and at the same time, the First Fleet is complemented by twenty-four Exocet warships.

By October, Quanxu will have a total of 32 newly built large warships, and more than 300 Flying Fish warships with 1,000, 2,000 and 3,000 materials.

The existing 600-odd Junk warships, Wuwei warships, and bird ships, etc., will be retired from active service.

Helena believed that if Jeon Wook arrived in Europe with his fleet, even the Pope would personally come out to greet Quan Wook and put on the crown for Quan Wook!

What made Helena even more jealous was that Quanxu had hundreds of thousands of brave and warlike troops, which was even more than the total population of the Venetian city-state republic.

In the past four years, the city-state republic of Venice has faced the attack of the Ottoman Empire, killing and wounding more than 40,000 soldiers and civilians, and the total population has been as low as 170,000.

"Helena, what I have to tell you is that it is not enough for you to rely on one or two weapons to keep the Republic of Venice safe!"

Quan Xu smiled faintly: "In the final analysis, war is about the economy. It's about the capacity of industrial manufacturing, and then it's about the population. Even if we sell you this kind of naval gun, will you win the war? Impossible, the Republic of the Venetian city-state will definitely not be able to defeat the Ottoman Empire! ”

"We Venetians would rather die a glorious death than be enslaved!"

Helena raised her head and said proudly: "We have been fighting for two hundred years in order to seek the independence and freedom of our country, we Venetians were born in battle and died in battle, this is our mission and our responsibility, rather than being enslaved by the ugly and vile Ottomans, I, like all Venetians, am willing to die in battle!" ”

"Perhaps, you're right?"

Quan Xu sighed: "This is the sorrow of the small people and widows, if you have a population like the Ming Dynasty, with your will and spirit of fighting, there will be nothing to do in Spain!" ”

Helena suddenly looked at Quan Xu, as if she thought of something: "Yes, population, esteemed Marquis, I guess you know that the Spaniards are arming Zheng Zhilong's soldiers, so are you interested, learn from the Spaniards to fight a proxy war?" ”

Helena looked at Quan Xu solemnly and said, "We, the Republic of Venice, can spend 50,000 ducats to hire your army and help us defeat the Ottoman Empire's navy!" ”

The Ducat, a Venetian gold coin, contains 98.6 percent gold, weighs 13.9 grams, and has a total weight of about 685.27 kilograms.

"Hehe, I'll think about it!"

Obviously, Helena heard Quan Xu's prevarication, and she gritted her teeth: "One hundred thousand ducats, which is one-third of the financial revenue of our Venice city-state republic. ”

"I ......"

Helena was in a hurry, grabbed Jeon Wook's arm, and was about to pounce.

Just then, footsteps were heard.

Quan Xu looked up, Zhu Weiyuan was dressed in a costume, with the four King Kongs, and walked towards the pool.

What is it like to be caught cheating by your wife?
