"That's all I can do to help you, as for whether you accept it or not, please give me an answer as soon as possible. The benefits are great for you, and I think you know that very well, so I won't say anything more. ”

The conversation between Zhao Hongyu and Rano is nearing the end.

As for the help he can provide to their group, Zhao Hongyu has already said it clearly in front of him.

If he still doesn't understand to this extent, Zhao Hongyu's choice of him is really a mistake.

At this time, Lano's heart was flooded with a monstrous wave, how could he not know the meaning of this.

Providing weapons and money, and helping them propagate and incite the populace to revolt against the Spaniards, that's what he always wanted to do.

It's just that he doesn't have the ability to do that right now.

But according to the meaning of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from the Americas, with their help, his dream is not impossible to realize.

I can't help but drive the Spaniards away.

At that time, the Portuguese reinstatement of Talano will also be able to ......

It was still a little early to think about it, and Rano retracted the thought and calmed down.

"Your Highness, you have put so much effort into helping us, but what good can you get? Was it for the Spanish colonies on the American continent? ”

Rano is not a fool, and if he were to give such help to an organization, he would want to put forward much harsher conditions than that.

Zhao Hongyu's conditions are simply not worth mentioning in his opinion.

So, Rano didn't believe it at all.

"There must be a series of conditions for trade, tax exemption and so on, but it is too early to talk about them. Unless you make up your mind, we can sign secret memoranda and treaties. ”

Zhao Hongyu said to Rano with a smile.

He could see that Rano had been moved by what he had said.

The young man also has his own ambitions and dreams in his heart.

For ambitions and dreams, Zhao Hongyu is willing to see.

If a person doesn't even have ambitions and dreams, then how can I support him?

Of course. This ambition and dream must not threaten his own interests, otherwise Zhao Hongyu will destroy him.

"Well, give me a few days, I need to discuss it with my companions, after all, I can't call the shots on this matter alone." , Rano stood up and said respectfully to Zhao Hongyu.

Zhao Hongyu smiled and nodded: "Give me an answer as soon as possible, and I want to give you a suggestion, an organization must have someone who has the final say, you can't discuss things with your companions every time." After all, what you have to do in the future is not to rob your family, but to restore the country. ”

Rano nodded with a solemn expression, and he took Zhao Hongyu's suggestion to heart.

Then Rano took his leave.

After sending off Rano, Wang Shan turned back.

"Your Highness, how will the treaty be signed then? We've given so much support, and we'd be sorry if we hadn't signed a more demanding contract. ”

After coming back, Wang Shan said to Zhao Hongyu solemnly.

As Zhao Hongyu's confidant, Wang Shan has always felt that Zhao Hongyu's conditions are too generous.

If you let yourself do it. It is estimated that it will not be finished until all the bones and dregs of Portugal are squeezed out.

You must know that now Lano and the others are just some down-and-out noble children, and now they have all been reduced to bandits.

If it weren't for their support, I don't think the fate of these people would be much better.

And as long as Rano agrees to accept Zhao Hongyu's support. And then maybe these guys will all be sealed and become nobles one by one.

So, there's nothing wrong with squeezing them.

Because compared with Zhao Hongyu's efforts, these people get more benefits.

Zhao Hongyu smiled when he heard this, and said to Wang Shan: "Do you think I am really so cheap for them." I'm not a philanthropist. Zhao Hongyu knew what Wang Shan was unhappy about, so he didn't care at all.

"Oh. Your Highness, what do you intend to do? When Wang Shan heard his Royal Highness say this, he knew that his Highness must have his own plans.

Come to think of it, I might have thought it all wrong.

Zhao Hongyu said: "Open the port, trade, tax exemption, expand the concession, these are what I definitely want, control here will control the outlet of the Mediterranean, and when the time comes, I will block him if anyone is not pleasing to the eye." Zhao Hongyu's eyes flickered, and his face was sinister. And in order to avoid trouble after we annex the Central American interests of the Spaniards in the future, when they accept support, Rano and the others must sign a treaty renounced the inheritance of Spanish Central American interests, so that we can avoid great trouble, and we still have a legal cloak, right? ”

Wang Shan nodded, admitting that Zhao Hongyu was indeed right.

"With Lano, they wouldn't have been able to do that. Once we've signed a treaty with Rano and given our weapons and ourselves, we'll spread the word and help him pull the team, and then we'll leave for France. ”

Zhao Hongyu thought about it and said.

"Your Highness, aren't you going to Madrid?"

Wang Shan remembered that his Royal Highness said that he was going to Madrid earlier, but now it seems that he will not go back.

Zhao Hongyu said: "If I don't go, Spain will not exist in the future, what else will I do, I can do the manor in Madrid or not, and it will be good to expand the concession in the future." ”

Wang Shan thought about it, what is there to see in a manor with a big fart. In comparison, it is still interesting to see the future concession, so it is okay to go to Madrid or not.

"I went to France for nothing else, first of all I promised Sara to take out the widows of the Samus family, and put them under house arrest. At the same time, I also wanted to sign some secret agreements with the French, so that the French could help them out. ”

Zhao Hongyu said his plan to Wang Shan.

"Your Highness, according to your estimate, we will have to stay in Lisbon for a few months." , Wang Shan thought that Zhao Hongyu still had to wait here for Rano's reply, as well as a series of things such as asking Ed to promote the goods and supervise the construction of the concession, etc., these things were all dealt with, and it would take a few months.

And now. It's summer.

After waiting for a few months, it will be late autumn again.

However, there is no way to do it, after all, there are not so many high-tech products in this era, and communication is not so developed, so there is no way to do things too fast in time.

"Months after months, this is also a matter of no choice." , Zhao Hongyu shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "I plan to return to Manhattan next spring." It was clear that he was ready for this.

"Well, then, Your Highness. Everything is as you wish. ”。 Seeing that Zhao Hongyu had already made up his mind, Wang Shan didn't say anything anymore.

"Honey, you're up so early." As soon as the conversation between the two ended, a woman's greasy voice came from the bedroom below the captain's room.

"Sara is already up, so you can play by yourself if you have nothing to do."

After Zhao Hongyu heard Sarah's voice, he winked at Wang Shan.

"Your Royal Highness, I'm going to take a look at the concession construction site, and by the way, I'll go to Lisbon for a walk. Seriously, Lisbon in this era is like the countryside of later generations. ”

Before leaving. Wang Shan complained to Zhao Hongyu.

Zhao Hongyu smiled, then left the desk and walked to the stairs.

The attic at the aft end of the battleship has a modern design, and the interior looks like a duplex of later generations, with a small spiral staircase leading to the bottom.

The rooms on the first deck are offices. It is used as Zhao Hongyu's office place, and the following rooms are bedrooms.

It has to be said that such a design makes the occupants much more comfortable.

"Honey, I'm coming. There were visitors just now. I'm here to get down to business. ”

Zhao Hongyu walked down the stairs and responded at the same time.

As time passed, Rano and his companions came to an agreement.

All think. Promising His Highness the Americas is only good for them, not bad, after all, they have nothing now, do they?

And they can all see that if the support of this American Highness is strong, they may not be able to return to the country in the future.

By that time, they will be able to get out of the situation they are in.

To say that these people are all kind of selfless in their hearts is complete nonsense.

The reason why they gathered together was strictly to vent their anger.

Because the Spaniards took everything from them and turned them from nobles into poor people like mud.

That's why they do things like this to vent.

Now that some people say that they will be offered a chance, and it is likely that they will regain the glory of nobility in the future, and enjoy that kind of life of spending and drinking, how can they not want to.

You know, now they have nothing to lose.

So, no matter what, they won't suffer.

Therefore, Rano took these people to find Zhao Hongyu and officially signed a lot of documents.

They didn't care what the treaty on paper was, and they didn't care what benefits Portugal would lose if it was actually restored in the future, which was too far away for them.

Now they are looking at the weapons provided by the crown prince of the Americas, as well as the funds.

Even in Lano's group, some people are secretly wondering whether they want to find a woman for themselves after receiving Zhao Hongyu's financial support.

Only Rano and Pedro took a hard look at the mountain of papers.

Although the document is a bit harsh, both Rano and Pedro find it not difficult to accept.

The reason is simple, because in their current situation, they are selling things that have nothing to do with them.

Now the things on the documents are in the hands of the Spaniards.

Besides, although they fantasized about being able to restore their country, they did not believe that they could do it.

As a result, they did things that they regretted for the rest of their lives. (To be continued.) )
