Liu Pei finished reading and then said: "I don't want you to have your own sea boats, I also want to ask you to help me collect as many sea ships as possible!" I have important things to do in the next three months! ”

One person asked, "Lord Dragon, if this is the case, I'm afraid that a thousand sea ships will be gathered!" How big of a battle do you have to fight to get so many ships? ”

Liu Pei shook his head and said, "This time I didn't gather so many ships for the sake of war. Actually, I have other arrangements. Just let me sell it, and I won't reveal it until it unfolds. I can only assure you that I will never use these ships against the government! ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Liu Pei say this. For these maritime merchants, it is important to make money. In case of conflict with the government, you will be in trouble if you can't make money! But since Liu Pei refused to say what he wanted the ship to do? Then everyone quickly turned the topic in another direction. That's the new fairway.

A middle-aged man said: "Lord Dragon, you can't just have a sea chart. Now the South China Sea is in chaos. The effects attack each other, and they don't have much business value at all! What's even worse is that there are many pirates there, and small fleets will be robbed if they enter it. Have you ever thought about this if you don't know this? ”

Liu Pei pointed to the chart and said, "Of course I thought about it. In the next three years, I will first set up two bases here and here, and rely on these two bases to sweep the South China Sea. Plan to spend a year sweeping up all the pirates! These pirates have only two options, one is to surrender, and the other is to be killed by me! And I'm not only going to clean up the pirates, but I'm also going to escort your ships! Of course, I only charge a small fee. ”

Liu Pei said as he kept pointing on the chart, painting a wonderful picture of clothes for everyone present!

In this way, Liu Pei spread out his plan layer by layer. Liu Pei's plan has been prepared for a long time, and Southeast Asia is one of the places that Liu Pei must capture. On the one hand, Liu Pei is for capital and mineral resources. On the other hand, Liu Pei needs enough strategic space.

Now the only places that are really in Liu Pei's hands are Ryukyu and Taiwan. It is said that it is two places, actually

It's just a series of island fragments. This makes Liu Pei very insecure! People who grew up on the mainland always have a deep affection for the mainland, and stepping on the island is unstable. You have to step on the mainland to be comfortable.

So based on these two points, Liu Pei formulated a plan to develop Southeast Asia. Preparing to take advantage of the fact that the European colonizers did not have enough energy to focus on Asia, he had to bring Southeast Asia into his sphere of influence. After that, Liu Pei can be regarded as a real peace of mind! Liu Pei can take advantage of Southeast Asia's abundant resources to cultivate his army, industry, and economy.

Liu Pei stood in front of the chart to explain his plan, and it took half an hour just to explain. Within this hour, all the maritime merchants widened their eyes and pricked up their ears like students of Mengxue, lest they miss every word of Liu Pei!

Especially when Liu Pei was projected to earn money in every place at the beginning of the year, these people were short of breath, their faces were flushed, and their eyes almost became round on the outside and square on the inside!

Liu Pei finished talking about the plan, took a sip of the teacup, and waited for everyone's reaction. At this time, everyone was already excited, and they had a close discussion with the people around them.

In the past, these maritime merchants ran more of the northern routes, and fewer of the southern routes. Because it's just like what the maritime merchant just said. There are many countries in Southeast Asia, and there are many contradictions between them, and wars often occur.

And the most odious thing is that there are also a lot of religious beliefs in the area. Especially after the introduction of Islam, the local beliefs became even more confused! There are also many cases of fighting each other for the sake of the gods.

When the European colonizers intervened, they completely muddied the waters! At the same time, they brought with them new religions. So now the whole Southeast Asia region is in chaos! It's not easy to untie this knot.

However, Liu Pei didn't think about being a world judge and commenting on what reasoning they were. What Liu Pei wants is money, resources, and slaves! You do business with me, well, I will do business with you seriously! If you don't do business with me, I'll rob it! Not only to rob money, but also to rob people!

Anyway, these people are basically equivalent to monkeys in Liu Pei's heart. Especially those who like to engage in anti-Chinese exclusion the most

The little Indonesian monkeys cut off their roots on their ancestors early, and the world is much cleaner!

Liu Pei finished drinking a cup of tea, and many maritime merchants also came to a conclusion. They looked at Liu Pei eagerly, as if they were waiting for Liu Pei to give an order, and everyone would kill Southeast Asia together!

Liu Pei put down the teacup and said, "What do you think of this plan?" ”

A maritime merchant stood up directly and said, "Lord Dragon, I just don't know when this plan will be implemented. A certain is willing to sponsor the Dragon King's military expenses of 10,000 taels of silver! I just want to go to the South Seas with the Dragon King! ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone also said that they could support Liu Pei's military salary and military rations, and only asked Liu Pei to start this plan as soon as possible, and they were willing to participate in the first batch of operations.

Liu Pei sighed in his heart, it is really capital profit-seeking! Don't look at the merchant who donated a lot of money today, but compared to the profit they made in the future, adding a zero to the figure of their donation may not be enough! And these people are not stupid to be willing to develop Southeast Asia with Liu Pei! Because the first batch of acquisitions is sure to make a windfall!

Liu Pei waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said, "This plan is initially prepared to be implemented in a year. Because there's so much to do in the meantime! You don't think that a naval battle is more than a ship, right? ”

Everyone immediately burst into laughter. However, someone who was still smart immediately said: "Lord Dragon, I have more than forty ships in my hands, and I have lent them all to you!" I was able to get almost 40 more ships in the hands of a few of my sworn brothers. In the past few days, I will ask them to drive directly to Penghu for the Dragon Lord to drive! ”

It's good to deal with smart and powerful people! In the blink of an eye, more than a thousand sea ships were put together by those present! Liu Pei's guards immediately wrote down the number of ships as if they had found a treasure, and agreed on the flag and the time of the meeting.

At this moment, the room is filled with a warm atmosphere, and it is much more relaxed than at the beginning! But now comes the details. Liu Pei began to explain the details and the issues of loss and compensation in the same way. Liu Pei is very generous at this point. Because sea ships are the lifeblood of maritime merchants!
