"... Did the captain come directly?"
"Maybe in your eyes we are too big, but we don't think we are stupid, beautiful admiral~"
Li Huamei, female admiral of the navy of the largest country in East Asia "Huaguo", nicknamed "Xiangfeihu", in order to rescue the coastal people who suffered from the harassment of Japanese pirates, she dared to ignore China's sea ban policy and led an unofficial fleet. Conduct maritime trade while fighting against Japanese pirates.
Today is her daily routine, right? According to the report of his subordinates, he learned about the movements of a group of Japanese pirates, and led his fleet to track and strike, that's all.
Just as mentioned earlier, before Li Huamei's fleet arrived, the pirate ship of the Japanese pirates had already been bitten by their prey. Although it could not sink for a while, it was only a matter of time. The Japanese pirates should still have small boats for escape, but Liz didn't plan to use Gauss rifles to kill them all, but Li Huamei didn't plan to let these evil bandits go back alive and kill them all.
After eliminating the Japanese pirates, Li Huamei's fleet sent a special envoy to contact the "God of Fortune" while maintaining the alert state. The special envoy revealed the identity of the Huaguo navy, indicating that the Admiral Li Huamei had no malicious intentions, and invited Liz to come over for a gathering. Liz, who was very interested in this, ignored the dissuasion of the artificial people, and happily followed the special envoy to meet in a small boat. Needless to say, the head maid Sakuya and the sword spirit nightshade, Zhang Jing, who inexplicably identified with the special envoy's oriental face, also followed.
The two groups met on the main ship of the Huaguo Navy.
"Let's eliminate all the Japanese pirates without a single soldier. I thank you all for this." Li Huamei, who has no long flowing hair, no luxurious dress, and a refreshing warrior dress, neither poses a heavenly dynasty Shangguo's arrogant attitude did not lose the majesty of Huaguo, but only said in a tone of "that's how soldiers should be".
"It's just self-defense and counterattack. In fact, until now, I don't know what to call the people who tried to attack us." Leeds naturally wouldn't take this so-called "thank you" to heart.
"Haven't you heard of 'Japanese pirates'?" Li Huamei stared at Leeds, trying to see something from it. This group of Japanese pirates is the best touchstone, telling her not to underestimate this mere big ship, "...the so-called 'from Merchant Ships of Mysterious Lands in the Far East'."
China's foreign policy is very conservative, and she hardly knows what's going on outside, but Li Huamei is an exception. She is active in maritime operations and has learned many things from foreign businessmen, such as the "Fortune Chamber of Commerce" that killed the Armada not long ago. "What is the captain of the ship
"Actually, we are from a mysterious country in the east of Portugal and the west of China, so we don't know much about the situation in this sea area." Liz explained forcibly, making Zhang Jing and others behind him almost blush.
Portugal's east, China's west, isn't this the part of the Indian Ocean? There's a mysterious ghost there!
Besides, they have the whole boat, some look like Europeans, some look like Chinese, but none of them look like the Indian Ocean!
"..." Li Huamei didn't expect Liz to throw such an answer to herself, no doubt she was thick-skinned, so she could only try to ask Zhang Jing and others next to him: "...Several girls, is it possible that it is our Hua Citizens?"
There is not much difference in appearance between girls in neighboring countries and girls in their own countries. After changing their clothes and hairstyles, they look almost the same. Of course, if you compare the most eye-catching girl in a neighboring country with the most attractive girl in your own country, it will definitely look different.
However, appearance belongs to appearance, temperament belongs to temperament, and there are some differences when it comes to cultural heritage, which is the easiest to distinguish. Others aside, Liu Mengli is 100% in line with Li Huamei's image of "a lady who doesn't leave the house".
However, Zhang Jing answered without hesitation: "No, how is that possible."
It was not originally, they all came from another world, how could they be Chinese from this world.
"...?" As the Admiral of the Navy, he naturally has the ability to know people. Li Huamei learned the firmness from Zhang Jing's words, and she couldn't help but frown slightly.
Looking at the shape of the merchant ship, it looked like the "gold ingot" of China. No other country except China made gold like that. Li Huamei could only think that it had something to do with China. Liz won't tell the truth, which is expected, otherwise the words "merchant ships from a mysterious country in the far east" would not have spread, but these beautiful girls also distanced themselves from the relationship with China, which is a bit beyond her guesses...
"Haha, I can understand that Admiral Li needs to check our identities because of his duty," Liz said, trying to change the direction of the topic, "but we are just a harmless merchant ship, and most of the time, enemies come to us. , we were forced to fight back, Admiral Li can rest assured."
(…Is this a threat?) Liz’s words sounded like an explanation for himself, but Li Huamei heard something else. If the Huaguo navy asked for trouble, they would counterattack without hesitation, and the result of the counterattack was Even the enemy as strong as the "armada" will be defeated.
In a sense, Li Huamei is currently "hostage", but she has never done such a lowly thing. Knowing that Liz doesn't want to talk about this, she can only change the subject according to Liz's words, "Captain Liz, may I ask you this? Why did you come to the East China Sea once?"
"Admiral Li should already know the actions of our "God of Wealth Chamber of Commerce"?" After all, Li Huamei said that before, and there must be a source, "This time we also purchased a large number of local specialties in this sea area. Good negotiation."
"To be honest... I can't understand your true intentions, Captain Liz." Li Huamei frowned, she knew that was the case.
"Haha, this is our own business policy, Admiral Li doesn't need to care, anyway, our "Fortune Chamber of Commerce" can afford a big price," Liz laughed, but the next moment changed the topic, "If Admiral Li you don't Welcome us, we can go to other cities to complete the purchase."
"... I think that our country has the largest resources in East Asia, and it is the most convenient to complete the procurement here." Li Huamei said.
"Ah?" The meaning of these words is to encourage oneself to go to China to purchase, which is completely opposite to the cautious and suspicious attitude before.
"It's true that I can't trust your Excellency for the time being, but—" Li Huamei sighed in her heart.
This country... No, this nation can't go on like this any longer.
Even this dubious guy will try to break the current situation.
Chapter 75: Li Huamei: Hold on, isn't my base in Hangzhou... How did you go to Yangzhou
[The land of China is vast, it has everything, the world is peaceful, the country is unparalleled, and barbarians from all countries come to pay tribute]—this is the understanding of emperors, officials, marquis, merchants, and landlords.
[Internal worries, blind arrogance, lack of enterprising spirit, corruption and extravagance; external aggression, Japanese pirates invade coastal people, and the West is rapidly expanding itself with long-distance voyages]—this is the perception of Li Huamei and her cronies.
Although Li Huamei can understand the reason for establishing the "Sea Prohibition Policy" at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, but to this day, as the Admiral of the Navy, she believes that this strategy to control the country is out of date and will make China fall behind the world little by little.
Of course, China's national strength at this point in time is very strong. Even if it is going downhill and Western countries are going uphill, it is very likely that it will not be surpassed by Western countries until a hundred years after Li Huamei... But Li Huamei is not that kind of " After the death of the old lady, who cares about the floods.” She, who is loyal to the monarch and loves the country and loves the nation more, is unwilling that one day the “Western barbarians” will become “Western powers” to come and bully future generations.
Therefore, she has been working hard to change this situation, hoping that China will also keep up with the development of the world.
Change the emperor's conception and abolish the policy of prohibiting the sea. She can't do it as a small admiral of the navy, and she doesn't even have much chance to meet the emperor; let the officials stop corruption, this is too much, it is impossible to do it, Damaged the interests of the entire bureaucratic class; led subordinates to rebel and overthrow the backward country of China, she would not do such a big and outrageous thing... In the end, she will disobey the orders of foreign monarchs, ignore the ban of the court and go to sea to fight against Japanese pirates. The ultimate that can be done.
It's just that the arrival of "God of Wealth Chamber of Commerce" today made Li Huamei move a little bit.
"Admiral, there is definitely something wrong with this weird looking ship! It has no sails and no oars, but the speed is amazing!" The older adjutant stared worriedly at the "God of Fortune" that followed their fleet. Originally, they planned to slow down and take it with them. I walked, but I didn't expect to be able to open the distance at full speed now, and I don't know what the other party's top speed is.
"I already guessed this." Li Huamei recalled the words and deeds of Liz and his wives and concubines. The other party must be quite confident, at least not counseling her Li family fleet.
"Admiral, are we really going to take them back to Yangzhou?! It's too dangerous, I'm worried...!" The adjutant wouldn't say that he thought the Li family fleet would lose, but it was a fact that he didn't want to be an enemy of such an unknown opponent.
"Yes, they are dangerous, but their danger is limited for a limited time."
Defeat the Spanish Armada in the Mediterranean Sea, deal with slave traders in Africa, and easily defeat the tin pirate ships that sank Japanese pirates in the East China Sea, proving that they have extraordinary strength, but also prove that they are not good babies. However, no matter how disobedient they are, their actions in the Mediterranean, Africa, Indian Ocean, and Southeast Asia are all just "buying a lot of goods and leaving without reluctance after purchasing".
Even if there is a risk of "bringing wolves into the house", it's just a "wicked wolf who leaves obediently within a limited time". Moreover, Li Huamei never intended to let Leeds and her group act recklessly, and the man-to-man tactics started.
"I'm even thinking about how to clear my relationship with them, so as not to get burned one day... Hmph, even if the imperial court takes the lead and orders me to supervise them, the responsibility for the accident is on me..." Li Huamei was able to climb to this position, In addition to the shadow of the family, there are also various skills in dealing with the world, and it is also necessary to be wise and protect oneself.
"Admiral... why do you have to take such a risk?" The adjutant still wanted Liz to get out of the way to the Japanese pirates. He would rather not have the gold and lapis lazuli that they half sold and half given away, rather than let Li Huamei, who is probably the most far-sighted in China, fall into disaster. among.
"Reason?" Li Huamei flipped her hair lightly and looked at the golden ingot in the distance, "I have an intuition that this ship has that man, so that His Majesty and Baiguan can see the 'outside world' and break their self-contained thoughts. "
What she can't do is done by Liz in the skin of a foreigner.
It's more important than anything.
…
Naturally, now that Liz and Li Huamei are not familiar with each other, Mr. Xiang Feihu will not say these words in his heart, and Liz has no way of knowing these curvy intestines.
only…
"Thinking in a good direction, that beautiful admiral needs us to make a lot of money and make a fortune; if you think about it in a good or not bad direction, that beautiful admiral intends to use us to do things, this kind of thing is special; The direction thinks, after we reach her base camp in Yangzhou, she will set a trap one night to attack and seize the ship." Li Huamei did not say, it does not mean that Liz does not want, Liz's stupidity is not reflected in intelligence, "So, what do you have? Opinion? What to do after the past?"
"That!" 9S raised his hand high and asked after receiving a nod from Leeds, "It doesn't seem to be a good thing, why should we follow it? Wouldn't it be better to change place? The one called 'Osaka' is from another country The port, the location seems to be pretty good.”
As soon as the voice fell, everyone looked at him with a helpless look.
"???" 9S didn't think his question was strange.
Leon put his hand on 9S's shoulder and shook his head: "Rookie, you don't understand your young master, just hang around for another year or two."
"Oh... oh..." 9S looked blank.
"It always feels like I've been invisibly complained about by a group of people," Liz shook his head and looked at Sedum, "Cai Fan, tell me."
"No matter what she plans to do, we just want to make a big purchase! This will not change!" Because it is a country with a high similarity to his hometown, Sedum is full of interest, so it cannot change the purchase plan.
"Shouldn't change with the same thing... It's okay, anyway, the difference in strength is obvious, and there's nothing to guard against." Liz nodded, "Let's see what the beautiful admiral wants to do~~"
Knowing that the business is over, Zhang Jing couldn't help but feel a little sour: "Beauty Admiral, Beautiful Admiral~ Don't you think about shooting at Admiral Li again?"
"Speaking of which, just now I forgot to ask if the world is like 'men, wives and concubines in groups'." Murong Jiu added, with a mocking tone.
"I'm sorry, the characters that are too difficult to attack, please allow me to give up a wave." Li Huamei's appearance is the passing line of the beauty in Liz's heart, but the character... Forget it, such a heroic and valiant woman is not Should be bound by the love of men and women.
"Humph~~" Zhang Jing and Murong Jiu's faces looked better.
"However, I will try my best to search for other super-beautiful girls after landing~"
"You bastard!"
The girls followed Liz the whole time, leaving him with nothing, which is another story.
