"Player Chen Baxian, congratulations on successfully completing the 'Rescue Refugees' mission. Your chance of hiring NPCs in Lingnan has increased to 90%. Your reputation has increased by 2 points, and your reputation in Lingnan has increased by 10 points."
After all the refugees were resettled, Chen Hao quickly received a system prompt. He immediately sent a text message to Liu Zixuan to ask her to start recruiting refugees. At the same time, he sent a telegram to the French player Silva in Saigon to inquire about the situation in France.
He had already brought Silva's attention to him after initially suspecting that Eagle Feather would snitch.
Silva called back and said that the French consul had contacted the Pacific Fleet, hoping that the Pacific Fleet would destroy the pirate Liu Mazi, and also asked the Governor of Indochina to provide supplies. Silva had his own channels in Indochina, and it was not difficult to find out this information. He told
Chen Hao received the good news that the French Pacific Fleet believed that slave shipping was a shameful business and that it was a trivial matter. They rashly dispatched warships for fear of being impeached.
Although the Pacific Fleet was unwilling to dispatch, it could not hinder the face of the French Consulate in Lingnan, and it was still considering whether to send troops. Silva believed that Chen Hao's request to him had a high chance of success, so he asked Chen Hao to go to Saigon to interview him.
Then he arranged for Chen Hao to meet with the Governor of Indochina.
Chen Hao immediately set off for Saigon. When he arrived in Saigon, Silva was already waiting at the city gate. He said with enthusiasm: "Welcome to Saigon. Dear Mr. Chen, I hope we can contact you more in the future."
Chen Hao also extended his hand and said: "Thank you Mr. Silva for your reception. I hope you will take more trouble this time."
Silva shrugged and said: "This is a small matter. I went to see Governor Sherner earlier, and the Governor expressed his gratitude for your kindness. He will contact our country's consul in Lingnan as soon as possible. If the consul agrees that you will come forward to exterminate the pirates,
Governor Sherner is happy to see this happen."
Chen Hao had already made a plan. After Ying Yu reported the matter, he planned to take the opportunity to ask the French authorities to take over the task of exterminating Liu Mazi. Doing so would improve the relationship with the French authorities. While saving Liu Mazi, he could also take him under his command.
Chen Hao could only accomplish this by conveying it through Silva, and after the Governor of Indochina Sherna and the French Consul agreed, he could implement his plan.
The Governor of Indochina has agreed, and now it depends on the French consul. Since the French Pacific Fleet is not willing to send troops, the French consul must be embarrassed. Chen Hao's initiative to help is simply to give him a pillow when he is dozing off. So there is a possibility of success.
Very sexual.
Chen Hao and Silva have begun to cooperate, but Chen Hao currently has limited liquidity and the business between the two parties is not large. Silva is very patient. He feels that Chen Hao has a fleet in his hands, and he will definitely be able to have a bigger one in the future.
Development. So when Chen Hao proposed that he would order a large number of fortress guns and even dreadnoughts in the future, Silva did not think it was a fantasy. He expressed that he was looking forward to it.
Chen Hao's purchase of fortress guns and armored ships would allow Silva to make a profit in the middle, which was impossible. Because it was difficult for him to successfully purchase these items as a Chinese player. The two had a pleasant conversation, and Chen Hao asked if he wanted to buy them.
When he went directly to the Governor's Mansion, Silva said with a smile: "I just left the Governor's Mansion not long ago. The Governor is still in contact with Lingnan. We need to wait for a while. Why not go to my place first? There is news that the Governor will send
Someone told me.”
Silva's residence in Saigon is located near the Governor's Palace. It is a white western-style building. When he came to sit down in the living room, Silva said with a smile: "I received news two days ago. Almost all high-end players in Vietnam have
They gathered in Nha Trang, determined to drive you into the sea to feed the sharks."
Chen Hao said calmly: "We Chinese people have an old saying that 'when soldiers come, the water will be blocked by the soil.' Since I dare to establish a base in Cam Ranh Bay, I will have a way to block the Vietnamese attack. Mr. Silva, please rest assured."
Silva shook his head and said: "I'm not worried about this. Even if you lose Cam Ranh Bay, our cooperation can continue as long as you still have the fleet in hand. I mention this to tell you that I am very satisfied with our cooperation."
I am very sincere. I have already rejected several arms deals from Vietnam. I hope you will not disappoint me."
Chen Hao smiled slightly and said: "Actually, Mr. Silva is a businessman. He can do business on both sides. I have no objection to selling arms to the Vietnamese."
"Oh?" Silva said in surprise: "Currently your biggest enemy is the Vietnamese players. Are you not afraid that I will increase their strength by selling them arms?"
Chen Hao shrugged and said: "Even if Mr. Silva does not sell arms to them, I think other players in your country will not let go of the opportunity to make a fortune. The result is the same for me. Why should I stop you from making a fortune?"
Silva gave a thumbs up and said: "Chen, you see very clearly and you have a broad mind. I also understand this, but I don't want to cause misunderstandings by doing this and affect our agreement. To be honest.
I am very much looking forward to the large number of fortress gun orders and battleships you mentioned, can you give me an accurate time?"
"Fuck, after beating around the bush for a long time, I'm still worried that I'm just bragging and won't really buy fortress guns and armored ships." Chen Hao cursed in his heart and said confidently: "I've already started injecting funds, which will take at least half a year or more.
One year, I will order more than 300 large-caliber Krupp guns and more than two battleships, and I will not disappoint Mr. Silva."
"I just said that I won't stop Mr. Silva from selling arms to Vietnamese players, so it won't do me any good to lie to you, right? Instead of worrying about whether I will fulfill my promise, you might as well consider whether you can achieve what I ordered.
As for the warship requirements, what I want to order is a Dreadnought-class battleship. After buying the main battleship, I need to buy a large number of battlecruisers. If you can’t do it by then, I will have to find other people to cooperate.”
Silva spread his hands and said: "I shouldn't doubt your ability. This matter is my fault. I think we still lack trust between each other. As long as you have money in your hands, you don't have to worry about the warship.
I have been in the arms business for a long time and have my own business in Europe. Whether the Dreadnought-class battleship is made in Britain or Germany, I can buy it for you."
Chen Hao nodded and said: "Then there is a lot of room for our cooperation. Come, Mr. Silva, let's have a drink and wish you happy cooperation in the future."
"cheers."
Chen Hao didn't wait long at Silva's house. The guards from the Governor's Palace came to convey the news, saying that they had adopted Silva's suggestion and invited Silva and Chen Hao to meet with the Governor. Chen Hao followed Silva.
The two took a carriage to the Governor's Mansion, where Governor Sherner was already waiting in the living room.
Silva saluted the governor and then pointed at Chen Hao and said: "Mr. Governor, this is the Chen Baxian I told you about. He is here on behalf of the Russians in Cam Ranh Bay."
In the eyes of the NPC, the fleet in Cam Ranh Bay is controlled by the Russians, so Chen Hao plays the role of a Russian subordinate. After learning about Chen Hao's pirate identity, Sherner had a arrogant look on his face. He said condescendingly: "Chinese people,
Is your Russian leader really willing to destroy the pirates on Qingshui Island?"
Chen Hao said calmly: "The commander of the Cam Ranh Bay Fleet is Mr. Gobiato, but it is my personal wish to destroy the pirates of Qingshui Island this time."
"Personal wish?" Sherner sneered: "The fleet belongs to the Russians. Are they willing to let you command the warships to attack the pirates on Qingshui Island?"
Chen Hao nodded seriously and said: "They agree! Because I helped the Russians in the Northeast, I am friends with them. Because I have a good relationship with Mr. Silva, I heard him talk about the pirates of Qingshui Island robbing Britain and France.
It is a merchant ship that is jointly protected by other countries, so I offer to destroy it for your country."
Sherna laughed loudly and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Mr. Chen is really willing to help others? What do you want to get for our country's eradication of pirates? You might as well tell me for my reference."
"Don't want anything!" Chen Hao said coldly: "The Governor may have misunderstood. I took the initiative to help because of my friendship with Mr. Silva, rather than asking for charity. Of course, the Governor may not believe what I say, but I
If my real purpose is to control Chingshui Island and find a sub-resident for Cam Ranh Bay, what does the Governor think?"
Sherner finally understood the meaning of the Cam Ranh Bay pirates. These pirates were willing to help because they were interested in the location of another group of pirates. On the surface, they were helping France, but in fact they were a black fight between pirates.
, Sherner has no objection to this, because Qingshui Island belongs to China's territory.
After understanding that he could achieve his goal of eliminating the pirates of Qingshui Island without paying anything, Scherner finally became more polite. He smiled and said: "Mr. Chen Baxian, on behalf of the French Republic, I would like to express my gratitude to you and welcome you to Saigon as a guest in the future.
, I think there is room for cooperation between us.”
"Player Chen Chenbaxian, the Governor of Indochina, Sherner, has issued you a mission to 'annihilate the pirates of Qingshui Island'. Mission completion conditions: annihilate or recapture the pirate Liu Mazi on Qingshui Island. Mission reward: favor of the Governor."
Chen Hao received the mission prompt and offered to help, so Sherner did not give him any substantial favor. This so-called favor from the Governor could neither be exchanged for money nor arms, nor could it make the Vietnamese stop.
In his opinion, the attack was of no use. However, his purpose this time was to take Liu Mazi and his pirates under his command by helping to suppress the bandits. This was the best result now.
After receiving the mission, Chen Hao did not want to stay at the Governor's Mansion. After saying goodbye, he rushed to Yingkou immediately, and then dispatched five warships to Qingshui Island. This time Qingshui Island faced a crisis, which actually started because of Chen Hao. Now
He took the opportunity to annex Liu Mazi's troops. Although he thought that doing so would be beneficial to Liu Mazi, it was indeed too unkind. He was thinking about how to explain it to Liu Mazi. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature for better and updated novels.
