Chapter 158: Each has his own pursuit

"Father-in-law, don't you want to return to the empire with the fleet!" Seeing Hong Tao holding Hong Tao's hand and talking and laughing to inspect the prisoner of war camp, Luo Meimei fell into deep thought. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThere was too much information in the conversation between Hong Tao and Wu Juntou just now, and Rao is smart brain couldn't judge the specific meaning, so he had to catch up and ask the initiator.

"Don't ask, you'll understand when you meet your father. Cixi said that you kid has a lot of ghost ideas and a good brain, so I'll give you a chance to practice. Guess hard, if you guess the specific answer, I'll reward you with a chance to lose your temper with my daughter, and I don't care how you scold me. Hong Tao's mood suddenly improved, not only because he saw his daughter and son-in-law, but also because of Wu Juntou's words just now, which gave him a better plan to save Da Song. He is in a good mood, others will definitely be unlucky, it depends on who catches up, and now it is Luo Meimei who is more coincidental, and he happens to be the closest.

"Daddy...... I hate it, you haven't scolded me, why let him scold! "Hong Salamander is gone, where is there a father who uses his daughter as a bet.

"Hey, hey, hey...... Do you think a person can guess what your dad thinks? Look at it, this stupid boy has broken his head, and he can't guess your father's thoughts, he can't see this opportunity! Hong Tao didn't carry Luo Meimei behind his back at all, and calculated his son-in-law with his daughter.

"Hahahaha...... Dad, you're the smartest! Hmph, go! If you want to go on your own, don't eavesdrop on me and my dad! Hong Salamander felt that Daddy was right, and that Luo Meimei was a fool and it was in line with her vanity, so she smiled and laughed.

"A pair of neurotics!" It is not easy for Luo Mei to deal with a flood salamander, it is not that his brain is inferior to the flood salamander, but that he lets the flood salamander. But now that he has added another Hong Tao, he really can't fight, his brain is about to burst, and he can't figure out how Hong Tao can save Da Song.

It was impossible to start an all-out war with the Golden River Empire, he was sure of that. Hong Tao has been protecting the Great Song Dynasty, but he will never fight for the Great Song Dynasty and the Jinhe Empire. But if you don't stop the Jinhe Empire's invasion of the Great Song Dynasty, how can you save the Great Song Dynasty?

More than 1,000 people were held in the prisoner-of-war camps at the supply depots in the Leeward Islands, and the rest had been taken away by the oil convoy. Rome America came not only as an America, but with a small fleet carrying more than 1,000 members of the Martini family. Those ships were all merchant ships borrowed by Cixi, and they couldn't stay for long, so they let the people go here and sailed back.

Mercy and Weng Ya took the children to think that the conditions here were too difficult, and the new route map and the kingdom that belonged to their own country gave them by Martini made them both scratch their hearts, so they forced Carl to take out the oil fleet, loaded with Martini's people and some of the captives, and went to Cité Soleil first. There is another thing that is that compassion is afraid of seeing Hong Tao, the governor has been stroked, and he has no face to see Hong Tao, so he simply hides first, he can hide for a day, and the king of Yama is a little ghost, and he is comfortable for a while.

Carl was also willing to run for himself with mercy, he now has a butt of shit that can't be wiped clean. Hong Tao fought happily, but how to deal with the aftermath was thrown to him and Jiang Zhuyi. Jiang Zhuyi also scratched her head a little about this issue, let her do business and cheat people, she thinks that she is second in the world, and the first is Hong Tao, but she is really inexperienced in this kind of confrontation at the national level. Friedrich II had this ability, but his popularity was not good, especially with the King of France and the Church, and he was about to become mortal enemies. It's better if he doesn't come forward, but as soon as he comes forward, he promises that he will fight, and he doesn't have to talk about it.

At this time, Wen Nan came, and Carl could be regarded as a great savior. Who is Wen Nan? The foreign minister of the Golden River Empire specializes in this kind of work with thin mud. I see either the prime minister or the emperor all day long, and the nonsense and clichés come when they open their mouths, but there are not a few words of truth, and the master who deceives the dead and does not pay for his life. No, Wen Nan generally doesn't deceive people, he deceives the government, the governments of other countries.

And Vennan was not a stranger in Europe, he also lectured at the University of Naples, and set off a wave of oriental culture, and even two cardinal archbishops discussed with him the religious problems of the East and the West. It would certainly be better for him to come forward to help him deal with those kings, lords, archbishops, and the like than himself, a pure amateur politician. Even if you are a behind-the-scenes staff officer, you can help yourself identify the true intentions of the other party and arrange some ambiguous official clichés.

The captured nobles had signed a contract, and then followed Carl back to Karl Fort to live comfortably as a noble prisoner of war. When the ransom is delivered, they will regain their freedom and return to their territory to continue their rule. If you want to take revenge, you have to wait until the famine borrowed for the ransom is paid off.

This is the European rule of war, and noble prisoners of war and civilian prisoners of war are not treated at all. The nobles were still nobles as prisoners of war, and even lived more comfortably in Karl Fort than in their castle, and there was no cell at all, just like a guest. Civilian prisoners of war will be miserable, those who should be killed will be killed, those who should be sold will be sold, and there will be no less than those who should be enslaved. Except for special circumstances, there will be no one to pay the ransom for them at all, and the ending is miserable.

"Brother Bo Jiao also wants to come, he doesn't like to be the mayor of Mayi Harbor, and he wants to fight with you on the battleship. But he was embarrassed to see you, and my mother and uncle did not agree, saying that it would be shameful enough for you to have an emperor without a score in the family, and there could be no more shameful prime minister. "Hong Tao is a little spy, and he talks to Hong Tao about everything.

"Girl, once a person reaches a certain height, he can't help himself. In fact, if your brother Bojiao really wants to come to me, no one can stop him. Your mother and your uncle are just excuses for him, and he may be figuring out how to turn defeat into victory in the next election. It's also your father and me who blame you for turning a good person into a politician. Regarding the situation that Hong Salamander said, Hong Tao was the same as Spiegel in his heart. The Bo family is reluctant to let Bo Jiao go, that's for sure, but whether it's Bo Zhu, Bo Xiaoer or Bo Xiaosan, they can't stop Bo Jiao, who has really made up his mind.

Don't look at Bo Jiao is not the prime minister, but he has been in charge of the country for nine years, and he is still the leader of the royalist party, even if he is an opposition party, his power will not be too small. It's not that he can't go, but he doesn't want to go, or he is reluctant to go. With his age, qualifications, and background, he will still be the main player in the next and next government elections, so why not run around with him. King? Which king had more power than the Prime Minister of the Golden River Empire? Even if he gave the Great Song Emperor to Bo Jiao, he wouldn't want it.

People who have never touched the right thing can't appreciate its magic, and they will always think that those politicians are not in the water in their brains, why should they not be attached to the right and would rather die than let go, and this has caused a lot of tragedies. But as long as you taste the taste of power, the higher the position, the more difficult it is to let go. It's the same as drugs, it's something that can make people can't extricate themselves. Most people can't resist its temptation, Hong Tao can't resist, it's that his mind is not in this world at all, so he can't talk about temptation and resistance, so he can stay out of it.

"Even Brother Bojiao has changed...... It's no wonder that Jin Ha has also changed, he rarely talks to me and Geya now, and even if he does, he is still waiting for us to greet him first. I ignored him, and every time my mother said me, I wouldn't salute him. America is a traitor, always pretending to be polite, but he doesn't really like my brother behind his back. "When it comes to Bojiao, it naturally brings out the Hongjin River.

"What about you, do you like Jin He or not, and how is your relationship?" Hong Tao hasn't seen Hong Jinhe for a long time, and he doesn't know what state he is in now, but he can understand it through his daughter.

"It used to be, but now he's getting more and more annoying. Doing small actions behind his back all day long, like a sinister villain. America said it was dangerous for him to do so, and that it was not in the royal family. I told my mother, but she also reprimanded me, saying that I should find an errand in the government in a down-to-earth manner, and that the Americas are not promising, and I have graduated for so many years, and I don't have a single official position. "Hong Salamander is a straight person, and he won't beat around the bush and say beautiful things, let alone in front of his father.

"Alas...... He shouldn't have been allowed to succeed to the throne too soon. Originally, I wanted him to see more things that he couldn't learn in school or textbooks, but he ignored the problems of the people around him. I'm not afraid of no good things, I'm afraid of no good people! Listening to Hong Tao's words, Hong Tao was completely discouraged. Hong Jinhe's little tricks, even Luo Meimei didn't hide them, and he didn't talk about secrets. Although Hong Tao doesn't know what he and Wen Hao are doing, you have to do this kind of thing behind people's backs, and no one knows except the person concerned, otherwise the success rate is extremely low.

On the same day that Hong Tao had returned to the Leeward Islands, he followed the Americas, and Luo Meimei and three sailors left the Leeward Islands on the Americas and headed north, and he was ordered by his father-in-law to go to Fort Carl to inform Carl, Jiang Zhuyi, and Wen Nan to come back for a meeting. If possible, Hong Tao also wanted to invite Friedrich II to come to the Leeward Islands with him, but this post-war problem really couldn't be solved without him.

If the light is faster than the speed, the America is much faster than the Virginia class, it is designed for high ocean speed, the hull is light, the thrust-to-weight ratio is very large, and it can easily run at a speed of fifteen knots without too strong winds. It took only eight days to complete the round-trip sea route of more than 5,000 kilometers. Of course, such a fast sailboat cannot be handled by a very professional captain and sailor. Moreover, such ships can only be used as expedition ships, neither warships nor cargo ships, and even communication ships are not very suitable, because the requirements for captains and sailors are too high. When the Americas docked, Wennan and Friedrich II were both carried down, Jiang Zhuyi endured it and did not fall, and his face was also miserable, so Carl could still walk around relatively normally.
