At this time, Lao Wang, who had been silently drinking and eating food next to him and listening to the lecture without making a sound, spoke, only to see him old man chirping, putting down the wine glass in his hand, leaning comfortably on the back of the chair, and the toothpick in the corner of his mouth trembled and said:

"Obviously, if our Australian dollar, uh, as hard currency, wants to be accepted by the public, then it must show its strength in front of everyone, and the best way to show its strength in front of everyone is to win a few wars, in other words, the credit of this golden Australian dollar needs a few brutal killings to establish."

Everyone listened to Lao Wang's sharp comments, and they were silent for a while, seeing that everyone looked serious, only Lao Wang smiled, he pointed at Lao Ba and Han Letian and smiled: "Both, I just said a few big truths, and you both held these words in your stomachs and didn't say them - just gave us a look and let us experience it ourselves, right......

It's just a need for historical opportunities, and it doesn't have to be war, right?

Who knows, perhaps, that only war can change the world pattern, including, of course, the economic one......

In the end, everyone's chat in the restaurant ended with a lively fist fight wine show and Wei Hong and several other drunk chefs were helped back to the dormitory.

A few days later, with the completion of the construction of the fortress and the increasingly strong rumors from the jungle, Pimont and the Duchess had several secret conversations with the old Ba Xiao Pingguo in the two-story large living room of the Governor's Palace in Xin'an City.

Obviously, this kind of interest is naturally quite attractive to the company, you must know that now the company in Citibank and Cross Street Bank in the flow of money has tens of thousands of taels of silver every day, for this money, Lao Ba made a mortgage loan to the company, because the amount is not large, so the Australian Development Bank to the company to deposit a loan of five policy, the loan interest is only five percent higher than the deposit interest, which means that the company with a very low interest, from the Australian people to obtain a large amount of silver, It is said that the money will be used to build a fleet of ships to trade gold and silver from the American continent to Sin'an City, and then exchange it for Australian freight to the Gulf of Aqaba, where Arab merchants will take over the Australian goods.

This route is a departure from the original plan, and it is said that it was the suggestion given to him by Hou Xianglin, the "world's greatest and wise master engineer" who is highly respected by Pimont, and those who know that this suggestion actually came from Zhu Beiguo, who asked Hou Xianglin to tell Pimont that this route is the traditional route for goods from the East to enter Europe.

At that time, Hou Xianglin said to Pimont, do you know the "Silk Road"? The latter nodded immediately, and said that he was a loyal reader of Marco Polo's travels, so Hou Xianglin responded with a smile, this route we Australians call "sea # on the Silk Road", the ship departs from the South Sea, crosses the North Indian Ocean, passes through Aden, and arrives at the end of the Red Sea, this route is much shorter than going around the Cape of Good Hope to Portugal, there are basically no strong winds and waves along the way, and there are few storms at sea, which can greatly shorten the round-trip time.

And as far as I know, the Arabs buy Australian goods at a very low price, so you have a huge profit margin, and as for the next house, you only need to contact Mr. Lefik, who often comes to Sin'an to send us trade labor.

Of course, the only downside to this route is that pirates are rampant on the Red Sea and Arabian Sea coasts, but the small Arab dhows and medium brigs piloted by these pirates are no match for the Galen galleons, and most importantly, we in Australia are willing to provide our friends with defensive weapons at a good price......

In the course of the pleasant conversation, the two sides also mentioned the recent growing rumors related to the city of Sian An, that the indigenous tribes of the island of Timor will gather under the city on an unprecedented scale and will attack the city's seemingly weak double row of wooden walls, and they are determined to win the city.

Of course, Pimont and the Duchess knew that these rumors from the jungle were not groundless, but only exaggerated the size of the enemy, but, even so, Sin'an City would be attacked by the indigenous tribes during the period from Christ's Dedication Day to Shroveday, because, according to the latest information, tens of thousands of warriors of the Shannan Tribes Alliance had already assembled in the Belu Plain and began to march towards the mountains southwest of Oku, and it was expected that in a month, the 20,000 warriors gathered all the way would appear near Sin'an, and by that time, Sinanseong will be put to the test of war.

However, both Pimont and the Duchess talked about these things with Lao Ba, Xiao Pingguo and others calmly, and their tones were quite relaxed.

Obviously, these two know the strength of the Australians, and they have seen the strength of the Australians, and they know what kind of outcome those lonely and unheard of indigenous tribal alliances will face if they really besiege Xin'an City - this battle, the Australians won.

Because, just yesterday, two important people in Dili City were invited by Xiao Pingguo Wei Hong and Su Gaofei to visit the just-completed city wall fortress, when the two were invited into the fortress, Xiao Wei Su and the three asked the two not to bring their entourage, and the two knew that there must be some secrets in it.

So the two of them stayed alone in the fortress with Xiao Weisu for a while, and Wei Hong smiled and lifted the canvas, revealing the big killer that both Pimont and the Duchess had seen - a twenty-millimeter twin-mounted machine gun.

As soon as Pimont saw this, his face immediately flushed and he was excited, and he immediately rushed forward, stroking the cannon body with both hands, the cold iron pipe and dark green paint, which felt very good, which made Pimont remember the murderous weapon he had seen when he was in the most troubled......

After coming out of the fortress, Pimont and the Duchess both looked elated, the two said goodbye to Xiao Weisu and the three of them in a cheerful tone, returned to the carriage with agility, and urged the coachman to hurry back to the governor's palace, although the tone was urgent, but the mood and expression were very relaxed - obviously this made the entourage who followed the two out a little confused, the mood of the two adults was a little different from before entering the fortress, okay, so what is in the fortress? Let the Governor and His Excellency the Duchess be so emotional?

All in all, the company and the Australian Development Bank reached various financing and investment agreements the next day.

A week later, a business delegation of the Dutch East India Company arrived at the Blue Pier in Xin'an City on a galleon, and the delegation immediately visited Governor Xiao Pingguo, Chairman of the Australian Development Bank, and Han Letian, Chairman of the Federal Industrial and Commercial Bank, and then deposited 50,000 taels of silver into the accounts of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of Australia and the Australian Development Bank respectively - obviously, This is the Dutch showing goodwill to the Australian Federation, after all, the Shannan Tribal Alliance is now growing like this, and the support of the Dutch in the past is inseparable, although the Dutch are now reaping the consequences, but in the view of Portugal and Australia, the Dutch still have an inseparable relationship - now take some money to support the field, not to mention the interest collection, and it is not a loss, right?
