Pirate Avenger

Chapter 77 Alliance
The war against the Japanese pirates and the Lai Dao family is either you or me. At the critical moment of life and death, Li Huamei finally agreed to Spark's proposal.

Li Huamei chose Richard and Yi An as candidates for envoys.

The former has the position of inspector of the Li family and has a British official background. He is a top candidate in terms of status and importance.However, the members of the Li family did not trust Richard, so they asked Yi An to accompany him on the visit as a deputy envoy.

Yi An has a very high level of negotiation and strategic vision, and has been in charge of the Li family's official dealings.

On the surface, Richard is the leader and Yi An is the deputy, but in essence, Li Huamei repeatedly told Yi An to fight with reason and not let Richard easily do anything that would harm the interests of the Li family.At the same time, she confessed to Yi An and drew the bottom line of the Li family.

Yi An understood that the matter was of great importance, and solemnly assured Li Huamei.

In the next six months, the Li family will be fully operational.

New battleships are being worked day and night in the dock.

There are continuous envoys visiting coastal anti-Japanese families in various places.

The recruitment and training of the Li family's internal staff is also in full swing.

Everything is orderly, and it is a race against time.The Li family must make a good layout before Lai Dao's family completes the integration.

At this time, the one who worries the Li family the most is naturally Yi An and others who are far away in Malacca.

Will Preyla agree?How are the negotiations going?Is there a strong aid going north?

Questions like these repeatedly appeared in the minds of everyone in the Li family.

At this moment, Yi An, who is far away in Malacca, is conducting arduous negotiations.

Richard is not a person without self-knowledge, so when he arrived in Malacca and met Preyla in person, he basically retreated behind the scenes and handed over the negotiation work to Yi An, who was better at it.

The preliminary work has been carried out relatively smoothly.Yi An and others brought a heavy gift to visit Encha who had a short-term cooperation with the Huachang.Although Eun Cha felt different about Li's sudden visit, but after getting a general understanding of Li's intentions, he still chose to convey it on his behalf.

As it concerns the interests of the Preyla Chamber of Commerce, the matter is too important to allow Encha to act carefully.

Preyla still has some respect for the Li family or "Xiangfeihu", the northern neighbor, so she also showed a certain interest in the Li family's proposal.After the two parties confirmed the time, Yi An and others formally paid a visit.

Preyla is also a man of great talent and boldness. Although his base is in Southeast Asia, he is well aware of the forces and situations in East Asia and the Indian Ocean.

When Yi An put forward the idea of ​​the alliance, Preyla had already guessed the idea of ​​the Li family.He didn't believe it himself when he said that Preyla didn't want to have a hand in East Asia and bit off a bite of fat.However, just being greedy doesn't mean he has to take action.After all, Preyla's main attack direction is not here, and without enough interests, it is impossible for him to act rashly.

Yi An knew that the other party was the master who didn't see the rabbit and didn't throw the eagle, so he analyzed the pros and cons of the various pros and cons that Spark had previously confessed in private.

For the rich and powerful Preyla, many of Yi An's rhetoric seemed mediocre to him.But when he learned about the large silver mine in Nagasaki, Prey was moved.

"Is the information true?"

"Naturally. Since our Li family came here with sincerity, we naturally won't cheat on it. And according to reliable information, this daimyo from Nagasaki is worth a lot of money."

"Hehe, I understand what you mean, but I have to say that your idea is not correct.

The daimyo is no better than Laijima, we can use the name of conquest of pirates to eliminate the Laijima family, even if the opponent is already a daimyo's navy general, but under the strong deterrence, I think that daimyo will be a person who knows the current affairs.

So no matter how far-fetched this reason is, someone will always admit him.But with daimyo, we can't do that.

You can't look at this issue from a commercial perspective. It's not as simple as eliminating a commercial competitor.Once the daimyo is attacked, the nature will be different. This is a political issue, and we are provoking a war. "

"Could it be that you, the governor of Malay, can't deal with a mere Japanese daimyo?"

"Little guy, I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice, and the aggressive method is useless to me.

But today I am happy, for the sake of your heroine, I will break up with you.

If the two sides are fighting with real knives and guns now, it's not that I underestimate him. In my eyes, taking down the other party is just a matter of course.

But there is no point in doing so.Not to mention that I have no plans to take root in Japan, which is a place where the birds don't shit. From the perspective of cost alone, I am afraid that I will have no hope of getting back my money in a short time.

Also, what if other daimyos join the war?Emperor Xia Zhao defended Japan?I don't want to be dragged into another war, one Java bastard is enough to give me a headache.

Therefore, after we win, we can ruthlessly slaughter him for a sum of compensation, and even use some means to legally occupy the silver mine and let him swallow his teeth.But the daimyo must not move.

And, even if I do that, I'm taking a lot of risk.You must know that my lair is right under my feet. If Kuhn intervenes at this time, I will probably lose more than I gain. "

As Preyla said, his experience and experiences are not comparable to Yi An.Even though Yi An is quite talented, he is like a child in front of Preyla at the moment, he can't keep up with the opponent's rhythm, and he doesn't know what to do for a while.

"Okay, after talking so much, you should understand what I mean.

Let's open the skylight and talk straight.Your Li family wants to form an alliance, no problem.It's a matter of mutual benefit, and I'm fine with that.

But wanting me to deal with the island, a large silver mine, I admit that I am tempted, but not enough.

'Xiangfeihu' should have explained to you.Come on, show your Li family's true sincerity, let's have a good chat.But if it’s just these things, you want to play empty-handed white wolf tricks with me, sorry, I, Preyla, as the Malay governor, the president of the chamber of commerce is very busy.Good to go, do not send. "

At this time, Yi An has fallen into complete passiveness, but he couldn't help but show the sincerity of the Li family little by little, like squeezing toothpaste.

Of course, it is impossible for Yi An to reveal the bottom line to the other party.And the other party seemed to be trying to get off his horse, but the lion didn't open his mouth to scare off the Li family all of a sudden, but kept probing.Now the two parties are just going through a process of raising the price on the ground and paying back the money when it lands.However, this step is the most energy-intensive and time-consuming.And this is what Yi An is best at.

Preyla is busy with affairs, except for showing his face occasionally, the affairs are basically handed over to Encha and his negotiating team.In this battlefield without gunpowder, the two sides come and go, bargaining word for word, it can be said that every inch of land must be fought.

After a month of arduous negotiations, the two sides finally died down and reached an agreement.

The Li family will give up all the spoils from the battle with Lai Island, and in addition to compensate the Preyla Chamber of Commerce with a certain amount of cash.

As for Preyla's request for market share, it was rejected by Yi Anan, and instead, the Li family would regularly provide the other party with products at cost prices in several cities, and the trading location would be in Macau.

Preyla will send ten large warships to East Asia to support the Li family's military operations.Be sure to ensure that the Raishima family is completely defeated in World War I.

After that, the two sides submitted the covenant and formally formed an alliance.The two forces that have had a profound impact on future generations and stirred up the entire Asian maritime history stood together historically at this moment.
