readx Zhao Lie returned to the dock, and Li Hu sent someone to report that the three Galen ships were in good condition.
However, the sanitation inside the ships was extremely poor, and it would take at least three days to clean them all.
Zhao Lie grinned, "Three days, what I lack most is time, three days to take care of the ship, and the sailors will get on the ship to get familiar with it, ah, time waits for nothing."
Zhang Gusheng came to report that the five Galen ships newly launched by the shipyard have been controlled, and there are also three Fu ships, but it will take more than ten days to complete the interior and set sail.
Qi Wei came to report that the cannon foundry currently has more than 40 iron and bronze cannons in stock, as well as four bronze cannons.
The six iron cannons were completed within seven days.
Zhao Lie's head was about to explode.
Earlier, he had expected to leave in five days, but now it seemed that it was impossible to decide by patting his head on his head.
Zhao Lie immediately came to Zhao Da and asked Portuguese personnel to be arranged on the small boat at the dock.
Our personnel were mixed to patrol, and our personnel were only monitoring.
All arriving sea vessels were not allowed to enter and were not allowed to leave.
They were detained until the brigade left Macau to prevent The news is leaked, and we will continue to help the homeless and beggars.
We must not freeze or starve to death.
In the middle of the night, Zhao Lie rushed to the fort and saw Speaker Alonzo.
He hadn't seen him for more than two hours.
Alonzo's energy and energy were gone, his clothes were wrinkled, and his beard and hair were disheveled.
"Mr.
Alonzo, I'm here to express my goodwill."
Zhao Lie said straight to the point.
Alonzo glared, "Are you laughing at me?"
Nima, you are being kind now, a big lie.
Are you using your sword and gun to express your kindness?
Alonzo's forehead was full of blood.
He led the Portuguese in Macau to defeat the greedy Dutch, but was accidentally attacked and captured by the Ming natives.
Don't mention the frustration in his heart.
"Sir Alonzo, please pay attention, you are a city leader, not a farmer in the Pyrenees."
Zhao Lie responded unceremoniously.
Alonzo was shocked, you even know the Pyrenees, and his face straightened.
"Sir Speaker, if I used money to acquire your shipbuilding and cannon-casting skills, would you agree?
I hope you can answer honestly."
Zhao Lie asked "Of course not, otherwise there would be no need for Macau to exist."
Alonzo immediately answered.
The question is very simple.
If these skills are handed over to people casually, how can Macau gain a foothold in the Far East?
"So, this is what I can do.
I hope you understand."
Zhao Lie shrugged and spread his hands to express his helplessness.
It's best if you can understand, but you have to understand if you can't.
Alonzo understood the reason, but he was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.
"What do you want to say?"
he asked with bloodshot eyes.
"We have a common enemy.
The Dutch attacked Macau a few years ago, and they have been harassing Fujian for two years.
Well, the enemy of the enemy, should we be friends?"
Zhao Lie said with a smile.

"Maybe, now your choice is indeed to be our enemy."
Alonzo shrugged.
"If the English and Dutch attack Macau together, do you think you can hold it?
I hope you will answer honestly."
Zhao Lie asked seriously.
Alonzo was immediately furious.
God, this wise man dared to question him, the Speaker of Macau.
"I'm always honest."
"Really, I hope to believe you, but it's a pity that you are a politician.
If you are always honest, you cannot control a city."
Zhao Lie looked at Alonzo with a smile but not a smile.
How many politicians in the future have been exposed in videos and photos?
What you said before the exposure was more righteous than yours, but when things were revealed later, it was like hehe.
Alonzo lucked out and endured it.
"We couldn't resist it.
We tried our best last time."
Alonzo chose to be honest.
"Then can your great kingdom support you?"
Zhao Lie didn't let him breathe, and asked one question after another.
"No," Alonzo would always be honest if he was deceiving some people in Macau, but for the evil Ming Dynasty in front of him, he might as well spare it.
Both Spain and Portugal are currently deep in war, trying desperately to seize overseas territories.
They will get worse and worse in the future.
The war is still a bottomless pit, as if it has no end.
The kingdom no longer cares about overseas affairs.
"So, I think we can form an alliance.
You are no longer a threat to the Ming Dynasty, but the Dutch and the English are indeed the mortal enemies of the Ming Dynasty.
Will we have a basis for cooperation?"
Zhao Lie tempted him.
"Who are you?
You are not pirates."
Alonzo thought about this sentence for a long time.
Indeed, if he were a pirate, there would be no need to talk to him and form an alliance.
He would grab what should be grabbed and what should be taken.
How refreshing.
Don't waste your time.
"I can't name our forces.
You don't think that I alone can do these things and know your European things."
You can go astray, the more eccentric the better.
"That's true."
Judging from your age, Alonzo thought to himself.
"We are a noble group of the Ming Dynasty.
Seeing that the Ming Dynasty cannot withstand the invasion from the north, and the kings of the Ming Dynasty are inferior to each other, it is better to rely on us than to rely on him.
However, we can only hide in the dark now.
Therefore, if we form an alliance "Don't count on us in four years, but after four years, we will understand your skills and become very strong enough to become Macau's foreign aid."
Zhao Lie continued to seduce Alonzo, he bet that Alonzo was so scared.

Because it is true that Macau is an isolated East.
"But, I may not be the Speaker of Macau by then."
Alonzo shook his head.
"Don't look down on me, and don't belittle yourself.
This may be a blow to your prestige, but you will handle it well.
It may even be an opportunity for you.
In the past, the council decided to increase military spending and expand the size of the army.
Think about it.
You’ve encountered quite a bit of resistance.
At this point, there should be no objections.”
Alonzo looked at Zhao Lie steadily.
He had guessed all the problems he had encountered in the meeting before.
It was true.
As for whether his position was stable, there were four of his own people in the other meetings.
When doing business, he It's just a matter of care, not a problem, at least not in the short term.
"I need your smelting, cannon casting, shipbuilding technology and craftsmen.
I also need you to send naval personnel to teach us how to operate sail warships, tactics, and construction drawings of forts, as well as your city management personnel."
"In your Ming terms, why wouldn't it be caused by raising tigers?"
Alonzo is not a farmer from the Iberian Peninsula.
He can be deceived by just a few words.
"There are constant wars in Europe today because countries are fighting for their territory, resources, and even their ambitions.
So, which big countries in Europe can win in the end?
In terms of population and financial resources, Spain, France, the Holy Roman Empire, and England are just like these.
Several countries, Portugal seems to be a vassal state of Spain now."
Zhao Lie paused and looked at Alonzo.
Alonzo's old face turned red.
Damn it, it would be a slap in the face if the servants of the Ming Dynasty in Macau saw that Mr.
Franji, who usually shouts and screams, is also a slave of the country.
"At present and in the future, France, the Holy Roman Empire, and Spain will continue to conflict on the European continent.
However, only England will stay away from continental affairs, and will also benefit from this, sitting back and enjoying the gains when the continental powers are exhausted.
However, it When it exclusively enjoys the interests of the European continent, since the continental national system is basically established and there is no possibility of colonization, where will it turn?"
Zhao Lie turned around and asked Alonzo.
"But, there are also the Netherlands, Sweden, and Russia."
Alonzo struggled to ask.
"The Netherlands is also in the center of the European continent.
Don't worry, he can't escape from various conflicts.
Do Russia and Sweden have powerful navies?
Do their monarchs and citizens have the will to develop navies?"
Zhao Lie turned into a magic stick and enlightened the poor man.
Alonzo.
"No."
Alonzo replied dryly.
"Yes, no, then answer me, what will England do.
Especially seeing the mountains of gold and silver that Spain has moved back from America."
"Develop overseas territories."

Alonzo replied.
"Half a pair, you can still snatch the territory he wants."
Zhao Lie commented.
Alonzo looked at Zhao Lie with wide eyes.
Yes, it was very difficult in the early stages of development, but robbing other people's territory would no longer be a problem.
Moreover, the English were already here.
They had reached India and established the East India Company.
"If we enter the Far East, Ceylon and Malacca are the key.
It is a choke point.
If I am a strong person later, I will never let it be in the hands of others.
But they are in the hands of a small country."
Zhao Lie looked at it with a smile.
Looking at Alonzo.
Yes, anyone in Ceylon and Malacca who is not blind knows their importance.
If they are lost, the Far East will be taken away.
"Whoever wants to control the Far East and the Ming Dynasty's sphere of influence is our enemy.
And the Ming Dynasty cannot live without friends in Europe.
So..."
Alonzo surrendered.
The enemy of my enemy is truly a friend.
There is indeed a basis and prospect for cooperation.
However, Zhao Lie did not mention that civil strife was imminent in England and that England was going all out to fight against the outside world.
That would be decades later. s Midnight is shameless, please recommend and collect it, thank you very much
