    In the evening, under the dim candlelight, the two of them had dinner in Lilu's little nest.

    "Have a bowl of Elden soup. It's very comfortable to drink in winter." Lilu served Fang Xian a bowl of green pea soup.

    "Is thisdrinkable?" Most people would be averse to the green viscous substance.

    ¡°Forget it if you don¡¯t want to drink.¡±

    ""

    ?? Goulash, onion herring, meat sauce sandwich, smoked eel, broccoli sausage, it is hard to imagine how Lilu completed it in such a short time.

    Fang Xian traveled all the way from East Asia to Beihai and tasted all the delicacies from all over the world. From Japanese sashimi to Indonesian chicken soup, from Indian curry to Iranian barbecue, the food in each place contains a kind of local culture and tradition.  It also demonstrates the character of a nation.

    The Japanese people like to eat raw food, and their people are more fierce and cruel.

    Indonesia doesn¡¯t like to make fuss about its food. It just adds flavors to simple ingredients and has stagnated over the years.

    India is the same, curry is king, and it is difficult to reform without modification.

    ¡­¡­

    "The food made by Lilu has a unique taste, maybe it's the taste of the Netherlands, maybe it's just the taste of Lilu. There is a strong sense of emotion and life in it.

    This made Fang Xian in Amsterdam feel like he was in another world. In this city, which is the most open in the world and has the most chaotic relationships between the two sexes, three sexes and even single sex, there is such a room with such a smell in it.

    These dishes are not very delicious, but they are like a ray of candlelight in the room at night, bringing a unique warmth and artistic conception.

    Only then did Fang Xian understand.  Why do I feel this way

    Because none of the ladies know how to cook, they have been eating Fang Mang¡¯s food recently.

    Thinking of this, Fang Xian couldn't help but laugh to himself.

    "I'm used to it all"

    "What are you talking about?" Lilu asked, chewing on the sausage.

    "It's okay, I discovered something." Fang Xian picked up the bowl and drank the last mouthful of soup, "When it comes to cooking at home, skills really don't matter."

    "My own home" Lilu lowered her head.  Savoring the meaning of Fang's gossip.

    "No, no, that's not what I meant, don't be like this. Don't be shy" Fang Xian quickly stood up in embarrassment, put away the dishes, and changed the topic.  "Tired of living alone?"

    "Live alone" Lilu said shyly.

    Fang Xian couldn't help but scratch his head and accidentally said something provocative again.

    This is all my own fault. I overacted in Indonesia at that time.

    After dinner, the two of them sat on the window sill with a glass of red wine each, looking at the night view of Amsterdam.

    "Is this city in chaos?" Fang Xian asked.

    "A messy place is naturally messy; a good place is naturally good." Lilu replied with a smile, without the slightest embarrassment, "What? Do you want to go to the red light district?"

    Fang Xian squirted out a sip of wine: "Forget it. Those three people at home will kill me. I only have so much water, and my own fields are not enough for irrigation."

    "Haha" Lilu covered her mouth and smiled shyly. At least this city made her personality more open.

    Fang Xian felt that he should have left long ago, but he didn't know why.  I always want to sit here for a while and enjoy this moment of silence.

    Fang Xian was a little confused. He put down his wine glass and looked at his hands: "Sometimes I don't know whether I am dreaming or waking up, whether I am longing for power or chasing life."

    ¡°Of course.¡± Yu Yan urged again, ¡°Try this wine quickly, it tastes like the Erwotou we made together!¡±

    "Oh my God"

    that's all.  Fang Xian was fed another meal and another drink, and then fell down happily.

    The next day.  The Fang Navy began to invest heavily in Amsterdam.

    Throughout the North Sea, as long as both the commercial and military values ??are topped up, battleships and terrifying heavy cannon batteries can be built at almost any port.  The cost of a battleship is only a few hundred thousand, and the cannons are the biggest draw. If an extreme number of turrets are equipped, the cost of a battleship can even exceed tens of millions.

    Choosing which port to invest in is undoubtedly an important matter. Fang Xian¡¯s original plan was to invest in Denmark, Norway and other places where birds do not lay eggs.

    But after thinking about it, we now have a very close relationship with the Netherlands. If Africa and the Indian Ocean are opened to them for business in the future, they will definitely have enough to eat, and there will be no conflicts of interest.

    Investing in the Netherlands can further improve relations with allies.  One day, when we go to war with Great Britain, we will be a tough enemy at the enemy's doorstep.

    Conducted aAfter months of massive investment, Amsterdam's exact double value has reached its peak, and all that's left to do is throw money.

    Battleship, the battleship with the strongest comprehensive capabilities in the game.  At the same time, he occupied several "bests".

    ? 1. The highest price, 276,000 gold coins, is the second most expensive, more than twice that of a large Spanish sailing ship.

    2. It has the largest number of cabins, with 11 configurable cabins, which is the same as the other heaviest warships.

    3. There are many masts, and masts and sails can be added at the front, middle and rear.  It is the ship type in the game that can control the most sails. In other words, it is the most maneuverable ship type, except of course the ironclad ship that is fully loaded with sailors and braves the wind.

    4. The maximum number of sailors that can be deployed is large. Although it is less than that of an ironclad ship, it is enough to crush other sailing ships.

    5. Number of forts.  Battleships can be equipped with four gun bays. Counting the bow guns, each battleship can have up to 108 turrets.  For an ordinary fleet, it would be good if the total number of turrets could exceed this one.

    Based on the above, high mobility + high durability + high number of sailors + extreme turret armament is the ultimate battleship.  Under the abnormal firepower of the fleet's 540 continuous-firing cannons, even an ironclad ship is unlikely to survive two salvos.  The huge number of turrets is the same as that of the armored ships. They use a kind of barbaric power and use numbers to reach a level that transcends the times.  If an ironclad is a human-powered motor engine, a battleship is a tracking missile with a huge firepower coverage and a huge number of missiles that increase the hit rate.

    It takes a lot of time to buy a ship, modify it, replace it with new guns, etc. Full gun warehouses and zero warehouses are necessary, and a large number of sailors also need to be supplemented.  I don't have high hopes for the Dutch's artillery skills. The sailors came to Hamburg specially. The Germans are famous for their mechanical skills and mastery of mechanical skills. It is obviously better to have these upright guys to control the fort.  The brothel sailor is reassuring.

    It took a total of nearly three months to invest, adjust, and reorganize the sailors.  The Fang Navy's first purely gun fleet finally took shape.  Of course, this also cost Fang Xian's reserves of more than 10 million gold coins, but to him, money is just a number.

    All this is going on quietly, everything is ready, and it is time for Fang Xian to leave Amsterdam temporarily. Next time he comes back, maybe he will arm a heavy artillery fleet.

    Before leaving, Fang Xian returned the gift to Lilu and invited her and Camille to come to the hotel to have sex.

    This time, the three wives jointly cooked, allowing the Dutch to see what real food is.

    Lilu didn¡¯t look too embarrassed, but Camille did. The blond boy never thought that she was also on the invitation list.

    What surprised him even more was that after several months of inquiring, he realized how stupid it was to compete with Fang Xian when they first met.  Fang Xian's name is already on the royal family's guest list. After pacifying East Asia and Southeast Asia, he became the overlord of the Indian Ocean. The Dutch fleet's routes have also been expanded there. All this proves that Fang Xian is a man of great wealth and amazing achievements.  Big boss figure.

    Camille couldn¡¯t think of it.  Such a person actually looks so ordinary. When we meet again this time, he has no aura at all. If this Oriental wants to pursue Lilu I'm afraid, I won't even be considered a loser.

    During this meal, everyone was talking and laughing, and no more troublesome issues were discussed.  It's all about gossiping, sharing everyone's lifestyles, etc.

    For some reason, Camille drank a lot.  Fang Xian just casually persuaded him to have a few drinks.  This young man obviously underestimated the alcohol purity of the Western-style "Erwotou" prepared by Wang Yuyan.

    In the end, Fang Xian had to help drag Camille and send him back with Lilu.

    It¡¯s night again.  It's just that this time the situation and mood are completely different.

    "This guy is pretty good." Fang Xian smiled behind Camille's back, "I just like guys who drink and are honest."

    Lilu smiled slightly: "Of course, Camille has been by my side to protect me since I can remember."

    "Childhood sweethearts." Fang Xian said in a timely manner, "Aren't you married?"

    Lilu didn¡¯t speak, just lowered her head.

    "Lilu, I am someone who has come here and I want to give you a message." Fang Xian doesn't know what the girl is thinking. There are times when she is infatuated and there is also a day when she returns to life. "Lilu. Some places don't belong to you, and some places don't belong to you.  It¡¯s not your place to do things. As a girl, you should enjoy life and enjoy other people¡¯s love for you.¡±

    Fang Xian placed Kapil at the door of his house and clapped his hands: "I helped you get here. Amsterdam is your home, not mine; Camille is your compatriot, not me."

    "Wellyou don't have to say so much." Lilu smiled bitterly, "You invited me today?In the past, I was happy and I understood.  Your world is completely different from mine. Maybe we will be attracted to each other for a moment, but that's justjust"

    "Just what?"

    "You're so sentimental!!!" Lilu stuck out her tongue at Fang Xian, then pushed him, "Go back to accompany your wives quickly, or they will hate me again!"

    "Okay, bye."

    ¡°Goodbye for real this time, remember to see me next time you come to Amsterdam!¡±

    "must!"

    ¡­¡­

    20 days later, South of Sofala Port, East Africa.

    The new First Fleet of the Fang Family Navy once again encountered Espinoza¡¯s First Fleet unexpectedly.

    The lookout of the Espinoza fleet did not immediately recognize the flag of the Fang Navy, but only reported to the captain that there was a fleet in the south.

    "The South?" Espinoza frowned, "You mean from Europe? Who would come at this time?"

    The lookout arrived: "The distance is too far and the flag cannot be seen clearly. I can only roughly confirm that it is a heavy warship"

    "Heavy warship? A large North Sea three-pole sailboat?" Espinoza asked anxiously, is there a war in the Mediterranean?  Why don't I have any news at all?

    "NoAdmiral, based on my experience, although they are still far away and look very small, those ships are definitely bigger than the three-rod sailboats in the North Sea"

    "Is it a Spanish large sailing ship? Oh my god" Espinoza panicked, "Is it the British No, the British will not leave the North Sea casually It must be the Spanish, the despicable Baroudis,  If our navy cannot fight in the Mediterranean, it will come to Africa to act arrogantly"

    "No Admiral, this ship should be bigger than a large Spanish sailing ship God bless me, I have never seen so many sails"

    "How is that possible?" Espinoza said angrily, "Did you not eat in the morning or drink too much in the evening? The Spanish galleon is the limit, the limit of this era."

    "Admiral they are sailing very fast. I can see their flag clearly now. It is the Fang family"

    "The Fang family?" Espinoza clenched her fist and said, "Damn it, I understand. This bastard went to Europe not to buy or sell goods at all, but to buy new ships"

    "Admiral, they have shownthe flag of war. They have declared war."

    "What a joke!" Espinoza was furious. "Stupid Easterners, do you think they will start a war if they buy a few of our advanced European warships? Stupid, send me an order to get everyone ready for war. Let them know what high-quality warships mean."  Race, quality gunfire.¡±

    Espinoza¡¯s first fleet spread out horizontally, facing the enemy sideways, ready to fire at any time.

    "Admiral they showed a flag demanding surrender If we surrender, he can go around"

    "Shut up!" Espinoza scolded, "No need to tell me those damn flags. As long as they dare to sail within one yard of my fleet's range, I will let them know what artillery shells are!"

    "But the Admiral"

    "I told you to shut up."

    "No, no, it's not a flag this time Use a telescope to see this distance for yourself I can't explain it."

    "Trash." Espinoza angrily took the telescope from the adjutant and held it in front of her eyes. After focusing for a long time, she still felt blurry. "Is your telescope broken?"

    The adjutant took the telescope back and adjusted it for a long time. Finally, he swallowed and said, "Admiral I would rather believe that my eyes are broken."

    Espinoza grabbed the telescope again, and after playing with it for a long time, she finally gasped, felt dizzy, and almost fell down.

    "You sawhow many doors"

    "I thinkmore than 80 gunsthe five battleships in our fleet only have 92 guns"

    The lookout shouted: "It's 108 guns Each of their battleships has 108 guns They have been aiming here for a long time God, it's not a ship, it's simply a military factory. It's the first time I've seen such a dense cannon.  artillery¡­¡­"

    "I told you to shut up!" Espinoza yelled, "What are you afraid of? No matter how many cannons you have, it's useless if you can't hit them accurately!"

    "But Admiralit still makes sense for me to tell you the meaning of the last flagif we don't surrender now, they will start the first round of shelling in 30 seconds."

    "Idiot!" Espinoza had nothing to say to the lookout. "The shells from such a long distance have already fallen into the sea. Don't they even understand this? In my opinion, they are definitely using  Blindfold, code??A bunch of fake cannons showing off!  "

    Thirty seconds later, the Fang navy answered Espinoza¡ª¡ª

    What does it mean to be pretentious?
