Facing his own question, Thomas smiled proudly, and then said: "Since I have guessed their plan, I will certainly not fall into their trap and let them use my words as a weapon. . The order I gave is to mobilize all warships to fight the Song Empire's fleet for a decisive battle."
Thomas¡¯s wife breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing his answer.
At this time, Thomas waved away the maids who were originally surrounding them.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about other people listening to the conversation between the couple.
"You are right to do this. These guys actually want to trick you and use it as their talisman. This is unforgivable. If you say anything about surrender, then your life will be difficult in the future. ¡±
Although Thomas¡¯s wife is a woman, she is very clear about this.
"I'm not that stupid, it's impossible." Thomas said.
His wife then frowned and said to him worriedly: "But you have said it yourself, now we do not have the strength to fight the Song Empire fleet. After all, most of our warships have been transferred back to the mainland. , and got caught up in the naval battle on the North Sea, so now it is impossible for us to even count on reinforcements. Since this is such a situation, we still have to fight the Song Empire's fleet. Will this anger them? .¡±
Thomas¡¯s wife is worried about another thing. After all, there is nothing that can be done now, and there is no benefit in being tough.
What we have to do now is very simple, that is to find a way out for ourselves to protect ourselves.
And this order was given by her husband. It will deeply anger the Song Empire fleet, and then my husband's life will not be so easy.
??Especially now throughout the Dutch colonies. Because of the destruction of maritime power, it can be said that there is no power to resist. This is like a beautiful girl standing naked in front of a strong man like Song Empire. It all depends on how he wants to treat 'her'.
"If he didn't resist, maybe a man in a high position like his husband would still receive preferential treatment after the war.
But if they continue to resist and cause the Song Empire's fleet to suffer heavy losses, they may be mistreated by the enemy after the war.
This is something that must be seriously considered.
"My order is just an excuse. Those battleships already have other ideas. It's hard to say whether they will carry out my order. They are not fools. Even if they assemble with only these battleships, it is impossible to We are an opponent of the Song Empire's fleet. If someone really does this, it is actually no different from seeking death."
After hearing this, Thomas thought for a while and expressed his opinion to his wife.
"Human. No one is looking for death. Who doesn't want to live longer. Since these captains have already thought about surrendering, they will not carry out my order if they think about it. Maybe they will Now when I go back, I will immediately send my confidants to contact the people of the Song Empire."
Thomas said with narrowed eyes.
"My dear, you should also go and make contact with the people of the Song Empire. Although our fleet is no longer their opponent, we are not without the ability to fight back, so we still have a code in our hands. Yes. Even if the people of the Song Empire look down on it, we still have a chance to talk to them, right?"
"Since those captains will have secret contact with people from the Song Empire, we can do the same. We can't tell the truth openly. But we can reach an agreement with the other party in private, as long as the other party's conditions are favorable. Then When they occupy the colonies, they will receive less resistance, right?"
Thomas¡¯s wife suggested.
Thomas nodded: "I have already thought of this. I have just sent the old housekeeper out. His task is to secretly contact the Song Empire, but I am not sure what conditions the Song Empire will give. Coming."
Yes, Thomas has no idea about this at all, because although he still has a code in his hand, the weight of the code is not very important.
He really didn¡¯t know whether the people of the Song Empire looked after him or not.
¡°Besides, even if they encounter resistance, the people of the Song Empire are not vegetarians.
It is a recognized fact that our army is very powerful.
Therefore, Thomas does not think that if anyone dares to resist, it will cause much harm to the Song Empire.
"Did you know that after the Song Empire occupied the Spanish colonies, they massacred a large number of dangerous people. They even killed the Spanish garrison. They were really cruel."
The Song Empire fleet occupiedWithin the Spanish colonies under the rule, some rumors spread to various colonies in the Caribbean.
The emergence of these rumors not only caused panic among the people, but also allowed everyone to see the ruthless side of the Song Empire.
Of course, this rumor will certainly unite some colonial soldiers and civilians and bring considerable resistance to their occupation of these colonies.
But there is another aspect that Chelsea and the others did not expect, that is, when facing the Song Empire's garrison, the people in all the colonies became very honest.
Because they knew that the Song Empire¡¯s garrison was not just talk, they could really carry out massacres.
Therefore, no one dares to cause trouble.
After occupying the colonies in the northern Caribbean, 27,000 Chinese genetic people in Manhattan began to enter the occupied colonies one after another on French merchant ships. The arrival of these armed genetic people made the colonies even more Stabilized.
There are not many Chinese immigrants in a colony, a thousand people.
Although the number of people is not very large, it is basically the same as the Spaniards.
As for the indigenous Mayans or Incas, there is no need to worry too much.
To these people, it doesn¡¯t matter who is the ruler, they don¡¯t care.
And the new rulers are obviously easier to deal with and easier to talk to than the Spaniards.
At the same time, these people still have money, so the Chinese are even more popular with the indigenous people.
After gaining the support of the indigenous people, the Spaniards were even less able to make big waves.
Therefore, as long as the Spanish are controlled, the colony will be basically stable.
Coupled with the rumors of ruthlessness, the remaining Spaniards will not cause trouble for the sake of their own lives.
For a time, in the Spanish colonies occupied by the Song Empire, the originally aloof Spaniards were suddenly reduced to third-class people, inferior to even the natives.
And those indigenous people who have been oppressed by the Spaniards can be regarded as seizing the opportunity, so they still have to deal with these Spaniards.
¡°Using natives to supervise the Spaniards is the strategy agreed upon by Chelsea, and it seems that this strategy is quite successful.
Of course the Dutch also know about this kind of thing.
From the treatment of the Spanish, they are more or less sad because they don't know if the Dutch will become as miserable as the Spanish after the empire captures the Dutch colonies.
After all, the Dutch in the Dutch colonies did not bully the indigenous people less.
But the Dutch had nothing to do about this. Their maritime power was seriously insufficient and they were no longer able to fight against the invading Song Empire fleet.
Facing the invading Song Empire, the Dutch Caribbean colonies had become completely undefended.
As soon as the Song Empire's fleet arrives, it can easily capture these colonies.
Of course, intra-city battles may occur, but in the end they are just redundant.
"The people of the Song Empire are so cruel, and they can kill so many people. Aren't they afraid that after doing such a thing, they will never be able to capture various colonies so easily in the future? Because of their actions, everyone People will worry that after they capture the city, they will cause such a massacre to themselves."
Thomas¡¯s wife was very confused and expressed her doubts.
Thomas heard this and said: "This is just a rumor. I don't know whether it is true or not. They are all spread from the Spanish colonies. Maybe the Song Empire did not do this, but the Spaniards spread it deliberately. It's possible. I think people in the Song Empire wouldn't be so stupid, and they wouldn't do this."
Thomas hesitated to express his opinion.
In fact, he himself didn¡¯t know whether he should believe this rumor or not.
You believe it, but this massacre is too cruel.
No one in Europe would do such a thing.
Therefore, it is impossible for the Song Empire, an empire with a higher level of civilization than Europe, to do this.
But what if you say you don¡¯t believe it, but this rumor spreads with both nose and eyes.
Actually, I don¡¯t know who spread this rumor. Chelsea also received the news.
When they did this, they did so in a very secretive way, and even the bodies of those people were buried well.
They really couldn¡¯t imagine how it was exposed.
But in any case, this method is very important for stabilizing the West.The dental colony played a role that cannot be ignored.
Now that such rumors have leaked out, it seems that such methods should be restrained as much as possible and cannot be used again.
"We'll wait until the housekeeper comes back to talk about everything. It's just a rumor. Don't we think about ourselves because of this rumor?" Thomas finally said to his wife quietly.
Yes, does Thomas have to fight with the Song Empire just because of this rumor?
¡°Besides, even if it¡¯s a fight to the death, Thomas doesn¡¯t have the capital to fight to the death.
So, everything can only depend on God¡¯s will. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
