- Now, according to the intelligence department, many ships have appeared in the waters of Manhattan. The people on these boats didn't look like nice birds, and when they came to Manhattan, they didn't know how to buy anything ashore.
Song Hu and the others have noticed this kind of thing a long time ago, but they have never taken any action on it.
After all, in Song Hu's opinion, the appearance of some pirates would also be of some benefit to them in Manhattan. Because the existence of pirates can divert the attention of some guys instead of focusing on Manhattan.
The pirates robbed those guys of their goods, and those guys will definitely fight with the pirates.
At the same time, pirates have robbed merchant ships from various countries, which will inevitably affect the tax revenue of various countries.
Therefore, all countries will temporarily turn their attention to these pirates.
This time it will take some pressure off Manhattan.
Recently, envoys from many countries come to Zhang Tie every day, hoping that Zhang Tie¡¯s umbrella company can develop more preferential policies.
These Europeans are not stupid. Not long after they arrived in Manhattan, they have already seen the weaknesses of Manhattan. That is, there are no sea ships in Manhattan, and they have no ability to fight back against attacks from the sea.
Although there are dozens of forts in the strait here in Manhattan. But how many attacks by sea ships can these forts withstand?
A ship with two ships is okay, but if hundreds of ships attack, Manhattan will have no choice.
Of course, those who attack from the sea will not get any advantage, because Manhattan's army is still very powerful.
But the weakness of Manhattan¡¯s maritime power is a good thing for the Europeans.
For this reason, some brave guys even tried to threaten Zhang Tie a little bit in language.
For such a guy, Zhang Tie of course gave a very tough response.
Not only will he be beaten up on the spot, but his business rights on behalf of the country will also be restricted.
" But it's not a problem to always be like this. Zhao Hongyu doesn't have a huge naval force under his command, so he still can't stand up in the end.
The current shipyard in Manhattan cannot produce or build warships, which is quite troublesome.
Even if you cheat, if there are no carpenters, it is not possible to have a sea-going ship.
Even if you draw a drawing, it won¡¯t work.
However, the emergence of pirates can alleviate the situation that Manhattan is currently facing.
"We won't notify them for the time being. Let's wait until there are more pirates in the nearby waters." Song Hu said to Zhang Tiedao with a smirk on his face. "I personally hope that more pirates will come, rob more of those Europeans, and let their goods sink to the bottom of the sea together with the ships. Only in this way can we maintain the price advantage of our ceramics. After all, things are rare and expensive." "
This guy is so bad, he actually wants Europeans to bite dogs, but I like and support this idea!
Hearing this, Zhang Tie also laughed evilly.
"You're right. Why should we notify those Europeans? Just let their own people beat their own people. The British have plunder warrants, and the Spaniards also have them now. The Dutch are not bad, and even the Portuguese and Swedes It's the same with the French. If only they were in a team, our pressure would be much lighter." Zhang Tie said to Song Hu with a smile.
Song Hu raised his hand, stroked his smooth chin, and then said: "When they decide the winner, I think we can build warships here. By then, it won't be too late to take back the control of the sea. This can be regarded as buying some time for the door."
Speaking of this, Song Hu and Zhang Tie couldn't help but sigh.
Pirates are really good people.
"Then why don't we let people have some contact with the pirates and provide them with some information to make their robbery smoother?"
Zhang Tie¡¯s eyes rolled around for a while, and he immediately thought of a worse idea. He even wanted to make the water more turbid, so that he could profit from it.
This is a great thing to say!
Song Hu smiled "hehe", looked sideways at Zhang Tie and nodded in agreement.
"Your proposal is very good. We can completely muddy the water. Let those European guys add some variables to their business and let them know that there are some risks in making any money."
It is impossible to say that Song Hu and others have no objections to the Europeans making huge profits here.
It¡¯s just that they don¡¯t have any warships on hand, so now they have to let the Europeans earnthese profits.
"As long as Manhattan has its own warships, it will be the Europeans' turn to make such profits.
The most I can do is buy some cheap old rice for Europeans.
As for the most profitable trade in spices, porcelain, and low-quality tea, Song Hu and the others must be in their own hands, there is no doubt about this.
"Isn't there a gang under the intelligence department? Find someone to contact those pirates. I think those pirates are very happy to contact the gang. At the same time, the gangs under the intelligence department can also get a lot of rewards from the pirates. , which can be regarded as reducing the financial pressure on the intelligence agency.¡±
The smile on Zhang Tie¡¯s face grew stronger and stronger.
????????????????????????????????????
It can be said that a small Manhattan has a much stronger economy than a small European country.
The most important thing is that Manhattan has no debt problem.
¡°It¡¯s not like those countries in Europe, where their royal families owe a lot of debt outside, but they still pretend to be aristocrats there.
After taking off their disguise, the nobles and royal family are actually poor people.
Of course, when it comes to money, people like these in Manhattan will never have too little money. If there is such an opportunity to make more money, why would they give it up?
"Okay, I'll talk to the people from the intelligence department right now. But Wang Shan is accompanying His Highness to the Great Lakes region. I can't guarantee whether the intelligence department will accept our proposal."
Song Hu agreed and reminded Zhang Tie at the same time.
Zhang Tie waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about this problem. As long as those people in the intelligence department are not idiots, they should know what choices to make."
After Song Hu thought about it, he felt the same.
"I don't have to worry so much. I think people who join the intelligence department shouldn't be that kind of idiots."
So, my worries should be unnecessary.
"Okay, let's not continue discussing this topic. I will talk to the people in the Intelligence Department." Song Hu stood up, walked to the small bar in the corner of his office, and took out a bottle from a Spanish businessman. I bought rum and glasses and came back.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
He opened the cork of the wine bottle, placed the cup in front of Song Hu, next to himself, and each poured half a cup.
"What do you think of the Great Lakes region when Your Majesty goes there?"
Song Hu brought up this topic about the Great Lakes region.
Zhang Tie picked up the wine glass in front of him, put it to his mouth, took a sip and then put it down.
"This strategy is right. The Great Lakes region is richer in products and we must keep it under control. It would be even better if we could ask the French to drive them away."
Zhang Tie expressed his opinion.
Song Hu sat back in his seat again and said to Zhang Tie: "Well, with the Great Lakes as the center, the city can be built to radiate to the surrounding areas. By then, the entire Canada will be ours."
Song Hu still knew something about Zhao Hongyu¡¯s plan.
"Although His Highness has a cheat, there is a drawback. After he leaves Manhattan, we will no longer be able to enjoy the benefits of the cheat."
When this question was raised, Zhang Tie smiled bitterly.
Song Hu's view on this issue was different from Zhang Tie's. He said with a relaxed look: "It doesn't matter anymore. Now that Manhattan is on the right track, we can still operate normally even without His Highness's plug-in. What's more, When His Majesty left, he had purchased a large amount of porcelain in his castle, and there was a lot of grain and other commodities in the warehouse outside the city, enough for us to sell for a year."
After saying that, Song Hu drank down the rum in his hand and put down the wine glass in his hand.
"You can't let His Highness stay in Manhattan all the time. If he doesn't go to the Great Lakes area in person, how can we place genetic people in the Great Lakes area? And the construction there, whether it is cement or bricks, requires His Highness himself. The operation is good."
After listening to Song Hu¡¯s words, Zhang Tie nodded silently, of course he knew this.
Zhao Hongyu¡¯s time and space trader can sell the products of this time and space to the virtual world. The system must confirm that the products belong entirely to him and are within fifty meters of him.
And when the purchased virtual world goods are transferred to this world, they cannot exceed his limit.??km range.
This is a somewhat minor trouble.
Therefore, if the Great Lakes region is to be developed, Zhao Hongyu himself must arrive in the Great Lakes region. Only in this way can he transfer the goods purchased from the virtual world to the Great Lakes region to build cities in a short time.
At the same time, the genetic man can also appear in the Great Lakes region in the shortest time after Zhao Hongyu completes his cultivation. And for a period of time, it was not discovered by the Iroquois and the French.
By then, when everything was ready, even if the French and Iroquois wanted to drive them away, it would be impossible.
"I hope everything goes well for Your Highness in the Great Lakes region. As long as we can hold the Great Lakes region in our hands, we will have a relatively stable and safe territory." Song Hu's eyes became deeper and his tone became a little sad. .
Although the armed forces here in Manhattan City are good, Song Hu thinks they are not very stable.
First of all, due to the lack of maritime defense power, Manhattan has always faced threats from the sea.
At the same time, the British in Virginia in the south were also a thorn in Song Hu's side.
And in this winter, the empty space between Manhattan and Virginia ushered in a new group of British colonists.
They took possession of the land and named it Pennsylvania.
This made Song Hu feel very uncomfortable.
You must know that the land on the American continent is now regarded by Song Hu and others as their own.
Now that the British guy occupies another piece of land, how can this make him feel comfortable?
"And Song Hu is still a very angry young man, so he is even more unhappy about this matter.
It¡¯s just that now is the period of rapid development in Manhattan, and they focus on construction rather than war. Otherwise, Song Hu would definitely send his army to drive all the British people in Pennsylvania and Virginia into the sea.
Glancing at Song Hu, Zhang Tie smiled.
"We all understand what you are thinking, and so does His Highness. But we don't need a war now. Let's let the British in Pennsylvania live for a while. After our development stabilizes, do you think Your Highness will let them live there? Is America jumping?"
Out of his understanding of Zhao Hongyu, Zhang Tie comforted Song Hu.
"Why do you think these guys suddenly came in winter?"
Song Hu said quietly.
Zhang Tie curled his lips and said: "They probably came for us. Anyway, I think they have bad intentions. But I don't need to pay attention to them for the time being. Let's see what tricks they will play."
It turns out that after Zhao Hongyu left Manhattan, many British people suddenly landed in the northern Virginia area, which is the southern end of Manhattan.
They set up camp on that land, and it looked like they were going to live there permanently.
And the leader of a certain region sent someone to notify Manhattan.
Because the border between Manhattan and Virginia does not include that area.
So, the British took advantage of a loophole.
However, Song Hu did not admit that the land in Pennsylvania was occupied by the British at all. It is only recognized as a temporary residence for British people and will be taken back in the future.
Of course the British do not agree with Manhattan¡¯s rhetoric.
So far, this matter is still being debated.
But no matter what, it is a fact that the British have occupied wherever they are.
"But Manhattan is not willing to go to war now and just wants to develop steadily, so it is temporarily biased towards those British guys.
¡° However, both Song Hu and Zhang Tie knew that if conditions allowed, then Manhattan would definitely send troops to sweep all Europeans in North America into the sea.
Because for the American continent, His Highness Zhao Hongyu is much more greedy than the Europeans.
As for Central and South America
If all the Europeans in North America are driven away, can the Europeans in these two areas still stay?
?Obviously this is impossible.
"It all depends on Your Majesty. As long as he develops well in the Great Lakes region, then everything will be fine. It is estimated that after next year, we will become stronger." Zhang Tie's eyes were full of longing.
Song Hu sighed and said: "It's just a question of whether we can develop stably in the next year. I heard that the Iroquois Indians are not easy to deal with."
As for the situation on the Iroquois side,Report, Song Hu has been asking a lot recently.
The more he inquired, the more worried he became. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to become a registered member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work.
