Black sails

Chapter 320 CCCXIX. Eve of Star Wars

February 2nd.

Tianguo Port, a castle painted entirely in white, is solemn and solemn.

High-end silk tablecloths, sterling silver candlesticks, plain marble mosaic floor tiles, and crystal clear fluorite chandeliers.

The castle already knew the bad news coming from the four fishing islands.

"We don't have the courage to suppress bandits, but we do have the courage to make money in the name of suppressing bandits, and it's also very big."

The envoy from the country of Isu, who was also a senior general, Lieutenant General of the Navy, was sent to negotiate terms with Dollinger.

Rao is the country of Ysu.

He also dared not ennoble Daolinger as the governor of the East China Sea. Otherwise, international relations would deteriorate and the East China Sea would not be included in the jurisdiction.

We can only classify the island of Tianguo Port as state-owned land, and then seal it to Dollinger as the commander-in-chief of the East China Sea Maritime Affairs.

He is also the governor of the East China Sea in disguise.

In Dollinger's view, it was foolish to give money to the weak and gather a mob. Dollinger chose to use the money to cooperate with better goals.

It is equivalent to Daolinger becoming a tax collector of the Isu State again, legally collecting taxes from the entire East China Sea, and then paying it to the Isu State treasury.

This is a huge sum of money, and he is willing to share the proceeds from the New World. After Dolinger personally investigated, he found that there was a big treasure there, but it was guarded by a dragon, and he had to negotiate terms with himself.

Only with the official position of Isu country can we mediate with other countries.

All of Dollinger's actions, whether a strong man cuts off his wrist or destroys his own foundation, are not for the sake of a new continent or a title in name only, but to counter the impact of the ironclad era. The profession of piracy is about to decline.

I am afraid that in a few years, the armored ships will scatter like dumplings, and whether it is the North Sea, the East China Sea, or even the narrow sea of ​​golden waters, maritime predators will slowly decline.

What he wants now is to land smoothly.

Although the ship of the old times has sunk, the king of the East China Sea, Dollinger, will never give in to this seemingly irresistible torrent of fate.

He wants to get on the boat of the new era.

Even if you make it yourself.

Lieutenant General Isu heard Dollinger's request and asked them to send troops. Isn't this a joke? The waters of Tianguo Port are so far away. Even though you, Daolinger, have a poor foundation, anyone with a discerning eye knows that you are still a thief in the things you did.

Now to help you, that is the national government openly cooperating with pirates and losing face.

It's okay to give you a title, but you have to see your strength first. Now Li Site's reputation has grown so fast. He has appeared in major news newspapers and is famous all over the world. Who dares to touch him?

Of course Li Site is not a problem if the state agencies implement a comprehensive crackdown, but it is unnecessary. What is the purpose?

"Then it's just because you don't have the guts. I will pay less taxes in the future. It's very simple. The investment is small and the return is relatively small. I don't have to only look for your country of Isu. The Principality of Bema is in chaos now. Although that I was the second overall pick, but they also look forward to working with me. Thirty percent..."

Dollinger seems to be having trouble with June Fourth. He originally planned to give Ysu country 40% of its annual tax revenue, but since you don't want to help and just want nothing to do, then you have to pay less.

Lieutenant General Isu thought for a while.

"Thirty percent, that's a lot to cut at once, but it doesn't matter. Cooperation is discussed slowly."

Lieutenant General Isu was noncommittal. Once Dollinger enjoyed the official position of Chief of Maritime Affairs, he would naturally be unable to do without such a high position from the power center of an established power. With the help of the national system, he can reach further and get more. After the total amount increases, it will not hurt if the tax rate increases. At that time, as long as it is not excessive, he will have to pay as much as he is asked to pay.

Dollinger just set a dead line, and there is still room for maneuver in the future. On the basis of 30%, it will not exceed 40% at most.

"If there is no problem, tomorrow, February 3, I will hold a strong marching ceremony in the central square of the inner city, and as an official member of the Isu Kingdom, it is most appropriate for you to give the speech."

Daolinger said calmly, as if it was easy for him to deal with Li Site.

"It's okay to talk, but aren't Black Sail and the others in the city? Are they going to... have a fight on the spot?"

Lieutenant General Haiwu was a little puzzled. He had also read some art of war. From a strategic point of view, this idea was not very good. By then, Zhuangxing had not yet drank the wine, and everyone on the stage and around him had been killed by Heifan. Then That's what makes people laugh.

Horace, the former Bema general standing beside him, also asked Dollinger for instructions: "Are you going to do it after Zhuang Xing's drinking?"

"I never do anything I'm not sure about. Now that I've held a grand marching ceremony and announced it to the public, Li Site must die within three days. I asked Cologne and Hannuo to go do something, and they set off last night. Li Site can't even return to Heavenly Port, and he will die in endless regret."

Dollinger never does anything without 90% certainty. He will not issue orders that cannot be implemented. Everything is under control. After returning, he heard some interesting rumors.

Is he the culprit of the riots in the North?

It is difficult to live up to the reputation. Failure to live up to the name will only lead to disaster. Like Henid and others, they can only rely on others now.

The so-called moral principles work well in the inland and along the coast, but the East China Sea is far away from civilization and is in its own lane. Only if you are strong can you have the right to speak. No matter how much foreign aid you have, it will not work. Friends in the mainland are just providing symbolic support. Who dares to take risks and spend money? What's more, their opponent is themselves...Dollinger.

Even the former Bema general Horace was a little stunned.

On the surface, Daolinger appears to be indifferent, but in fact, he is serious about it, and it's not that he doesn't take Li Site seriously.

Cologne, Hanno.

They are all monsters from the old days.

After the Emperor withdrew his troops from the Port of Heaven, it was transformed into a commercial port. Later, in the Gu Refining Battle, he competed with Dollinger on the same stage.

They are all terrible people.

More than ten years ago, he and Dollinger were known as the Three Heroes of the East China Sea, but Dollinger still reached the highest peak.

But later he was impressed by Dollinger, and managed the ultimate monster created by Dollinger using the power of the East China Sea.

"Poseidon".

Not Poseidon, but Poseidon.

Because such a mobile fortress can no longer be described as a ship, it is a great thing that guards one side.

"As expected of the Taoist Master, everything has been arranged clearly. Tomorrow I will preside over the grand ceremony to rectify the name of the Taoist Master. The Taoist Master has a great sense of righteousness, and funds the recruitment of local braves. He recruits benevolent and righteous soldiers to fight bandits in the East China Sea, and the volunteer group suppresses the unparalleled murderers. , the leader of the pirates, the chief culprit of the riot, and the evil thief Li Site, he became famous all over the world after his deeds, and he became the governor of the East China Sea, and he was welcomed by everyone. You don’t know, recently, some very weird things have been invented in the Western Continent, called photos, and high-level officials in our country have also obtained I have developed some technology and can use a flash of light to form a negative on special adhesive paper, which is extremely strange. Today's world is all about publicity, so you have to give the volunteer group a name. After it is published in the newspaper, they will lead the spread of the news and have the final word."

Vice Admiral Haiwu suggested.

"Photos..." Dollinger was a little confused, "You can just decide for yourself on this kind of thing."

The current situation has indeed ushered in unprecedented changes, and Dollinger increasingly believes that his judgment is correct.

"Salert's sister...how is she doing lately?"

Dollinger asked a butler at the table.

He appreciated the power of the Ghost-Eyed Crazy Sword and asked him to take care of this world's treasures, and he must have a handle on it.

Dollinger was worried about this matter, even if it was a close friend, so he had to find a dog that was tightly tied with a rope.

"It's very good. The food, clothing and accommodation are of a very high standard. There are also female teachers hired to keep her from falling behind in her studies."

The butler spoke truthfully.

Dollinger raised his hand and felt relieved that all the arrangements had been completed.

As for Hei Fan and others, once Li Site died, the mob collapsed without any attack, the ringleaders were brought to justice, and the Navy of the Isu Kingdom naturally provided part of its force to completely disintegrate the remaining party.
