As he spoke, he took a big sip of his cigar as if to stabilize his mood

"At that time, we received news that a local magistrate in China, you should be the lord of a place, and they were victorious in the war they were waging. And we got the news from one of the parties, claiming that he had received more than one million taels of silver in the booty...... One million taels of silver, Diman, do you think about a million taels of silver, will you not be tempted? So ......"

In this way, Admiral Charlotte's fleet received a complete defeat. Fortunately, the other side was engaged in another war at that time, and did not continue to pursue, otherwise the fleet now commanded by Vice Admiral Lemo would have been completely destroyed. This is no exaggeration, and I think the testimony of the director of the Charlotte Naval School speaks for itself. This! Isn't it the scariest thing! ”

Hearing this, Diman couldn't believe it. He was so engrossed in his listening that he barely smoked the cigar in his hand, and now it had burned a long white amount of ash.

"When Shenzhou City finished their battle and freed their hands, they attacked China Mingyue Bay. Oh, and that's the Taiwanese city of the past. At that time, there were 6,000 Finnish marines stationed in the city of Geranza on the island, and we had our own troops!

However, Shenzhou City only sent a part of their troops, and it was a very small part, because the lords of Shenzhou City went to fight a war to destroy Fusang, so they only sent a small part of the army. The total number is about 4000~6000 people (Tainan cluster).

And all our military strength is in the cities of Geranza and Chiyi, and our total military strength, if we add the civilian army, is at least equivalent to more than 14,000 men, and is protected by three cruisers and more than 200 cannons. ”

Hearing this, Diman seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and he finally remembered to smoke his cigar, and let out a long exhale, as if one or twenty thousand Dutchmen were enough. The strength of the army was almost one to two, and the side with the superior force was still holding the fortified city.

"...... results? Then I don't understand, how can such a thing happen? ”

Diman still trusted the strength of the Dutch Marines, at least for now, he still believed that 10,000 Dutch Marines would make a mission country feel that the defense of its harbor was not so strong.

He took a long puff of his cigar again and again before he continued, "Alas! It was a battle with the devil, that's all I can say! We are not at war with the human race, I believe that the soul of their Yue City Lord has been betrayed to Satan, otherwise...... The 3,000-strong marines, with complete artillery fire, were all defeated by them in just a few hours, and everyone except for those who died in battle was captured by the Shenzhou army......"

The more Diman listens, the cooler it becomes! He flicked his neck and found a bottle of wine on the Harbour Superintendent's bookshelf. He walked over a few steps, took it, and brought two glasses.

“…… And when I confronted that young man, I understood that all our glory would be a thing of the past. He's a crazy lad, you know, he even lit the fuse that went straight into the powder magazine! ”

Diman shook his head and wondered, "Don't you think this is a false threat?" I don't believe anyone would risk fighting together! ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! You won't believe it, I know! But I'm not a coward either, and if there's any hope of fighting, will I back down? If you think I'm a coward, I'm going to duel with you to prove you completely wrong! ”

"Oh, no, no, no, I think you're mistaken, I didn't think so, please forgive me for what I just said, it was completely unthought out. And what about them...... Do they think this is their land too? ”

Diman completely believed Kuichi's words at the moment. As a governor, a colony represents wealth, especially the wealth of the governor personally, and it is rare for a governor to give up a colony easily, unless he is a fool.

"Pop" lit the lighter again, lit another cigar, and then handed the lighter to Diman and said, "Look at this lighter, and you will understand why they can easily defeat us." Their scientific development has far surpassed ours. So that battle was not a battle above a level at all.

As far as I heard later, their snipers could easily blow a person's head a few hundred meters away, as the merchants at Fort Anthony had seen with their own eyes. ”

Diman stopped talking, his eyes just stared at the lighter in front of him, an empty box, but it could be ignited with flint, what was inside?

"Could it be that the mysterious Oriental people have discovered the secret of phlogiston?"

At that time, in the European scientific community, it was believed that combustion was caused by phlogiston, which was present in a substance, and that combustible gases such as carbon monoxide and gas were unknown to them.

The lighter was in his hand, and he turned over a few times, and Diman couldn't see what he was thinking, so he put it aside and asked, "Then according to your Excellency, they are here to do business?" So what are their goods? Is it a fan, a toothbrush? Hmm, and this? Don't they understand that we are now hostile and dare to come here to do business? ”

"Their products are very exotic, and they are goods that we don't have in Europe, and those things are going to be worth a lot of money, like this bottle of wine, if it were you, how much would you pay for it? As for the hostile side......! ”

He narrowed his eyes and dragged out his voice, as if he was selling Guanzi.

"The merchants of Mingyue Bay in China believe that no one is the enemy of silver, do you agree with this? And if you have anything else to do, then I'm going to tell you not to mess with them! You've read all the documents, and they are all from the testimony of seasoned officers, and I think you still believe them! Personally, I vouch for the veracity of these testimonies with all the honor of my family.

Or, think about it another way, we don't have to fight here, we have to be friendly, before that thing is settled! He gestured to the claim document with his chin, and continued: "There is still a chance to do business with them a few times, and if it is done, the profit will ...... I believe you are fully aware of this, Your Excellency, so I have sent a request for a trade on behalf of the caravan, and I think it would be wiser for you to agree. ”

After a few glasses of wine, Diman, who had already regained his spirits, shrugged and said, "Yes, no one is the enemy of wealth. So...... I would consider trading with them if I could. ”
