Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1494, They are rogues and we need to be even more rogues
"Directly attack their homeland?"

When Dongfang Yue heard this, she immediately became thoughtful.

To be honest, Wa country does not want to go to war with European countries, because West Africa is far away from Wa country's mainland, but closer to Europe, and the time required for ships from these European countries to go back and forth is very short.

If there is a war with European countries, Wa's colonies in West Africa will become extremely dangerous and will be taken away. If they want to snatch them back, Wa will need to support them from the mainland. It will take nearly a year for the message to be delivered.

Counting the organization of the army to arrive here again, it is estimated that it will be gone in two years. After two years, the ghost knows what happened here.

All the dozens of warships and tens of thousands of forces Dongfang Yue has are extremely critical forces, and they are also the only military force of the Wa Kingdom here in a short period of time. They must not be easily defeated by European countries.

Although they have always looked down on European barbarians, it has to be said that the level of civilization development in Europe is still quite high. Europeans can make muskets, cannons, and even their technology is quite good.

The shipbuilding technology of the Europeans is very advanced. There are a large number of shipyards that can manufacture large ocean-going ships. In the world, only the East is stronger than Europe.

As for the rest of the world, it is far behind Europe.

This also means that the military strength and power of European countries are very strong.

The Japanese army can run wild on the African continent, but it doesn't mean they can go to Europe.

If you go to war with the Europeans easily, then don't get any benefits, but lose your wife's money.

It is still possible to form an alliance with Spain to eliminate pirates. The interests of Japan are limited to West Africa. They only want to acquire more colonies, and pirates pose a huge threat to colonies.

But what Duke Colster said was also very reasonable.

Suppressing these pirates is just an indicator and not a permanent solution. After the elimination, the countries behind these pirates will organize new pirates to continue to plunder colonial strongholds and treasure ships.

These European robbers will never let go of the huge profits and cakes of the colonies. Since there are no colonies, they will become pirates. In short, they just want a piece of the pie.

This also means that these pirates can't be wiped out at all. Unless they directly attack their homeland and completely subdue these pirates, as Duke Colster said, don't even try to wipe out these pirates.

These pirates who have tasted the sweetness will even become more rampant, their scale is getting bigger and bigger, and their actions are getting more and more daring.

In the future, the colonies of the Wa Kingdom will face the direct threat of these pirates.

Dongfang Yue was thinking carefully, weighing the pros and cons.

"If we form an alliance with you, what benefits can our country get?"

After pondering for a while, Dongfang Yue asked.

"The advantage is that there is no harassment from pirates. You and I can enjoy the colony to gain more wealth, and we don't have to worry about the hard-earned wealth being robbed."

Of course Korster understood Dongfang Yue's meaning, and secretly scolded the greedy Japanese guy in his heart, but replied with a smile all over his mouth.

"No, it's not enough~"

"If you want our Wa country to form an alliance with you and attack the mainland of those pirate countries, this is far from enough."

"Our country of Wa now has three colonies, with dozens of warships and tens of thousands of troops, enough to guard them. Although pirates often harass them, our losses are getting smaller and smaller."

"Although we hate pirates, it is not enough to go to war with several countries because of this. Without enough interests, our Japanese country will not be involved in the troubled waters of your Europe."

Dongfang Yue shook his head slightly. He only wanted to expand the colony in Africa, and he was not interested in being involved in the war in Europe. Although these pirates affected the expansion of the Wa Kingdom, they were far less distressed than the Spaniards.

"Then what do you want to achieve?"

Duke Colster narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked in deep thought.

What Dongfang Yue said was not wrong. The Spaniards were really annoyed by these pirates, and they were ready to go to war with their homeland. One can imagine how much the Spaniards hated these pirates now.

But the Japanese people are relatively better, with fewer colonies and strong military strength, and they can also pretend to be Ming people to deceive pirates, and the losses are much smaller.

"If you are willing to give us all the colonies here in the Gulf of Guinea, we can consider forming an alliance with you."

Dongfangyue pointed to the Gulf of Guinea on the map, and the lion spoke loudly.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"We Spain will never give up any colonies."

The Duke of Colster said very firmly that these colonies were acquired by Spain with great difficulty, and many of them were snatched from the Portuguese, so how could they let them out.

"Then there is no way. Without enough interests, I can't persuade our country to agree to form an alliance with your Spain."

Dongfang Yue smiled and said helplessly.

"Then why are you here this time?"

The Duke of Colster nodded slightly. Finding an ally requires such a high price. Spain is an idiot to form an alliance with you. The Japanese people are really ambitious. They are not afraid to eat the entire huge area of ​​the Gulf of Guinea with their mouths open. Struggle.

"Of course it's for the pirates~"

"We hope to reach an agreement with your country to jointly eliminate pirates in the Gulf of Guinea. The two sides can divide the sea area, share information, and join forces to jointly deal with these pirates."

Dongfang Yue replied.

"Mr. Dongfang, I think what I just said is very clear. If it is just such a simple way to eliminate pirates, I am afraid it will be very difficult to eliminate them. They will be like weeds, burned again and again, forever. Endless."

"We in Spain have no interest in such regional alliances or alliances."

The Duke of Colster refused very decisively.

What a joke, although joining forces with you can indeed reduce the pirates in the Gulf of Guinea, but what about other places?

At that time, these pirates will all go to other places, and Spain will lose more.

And if your Wa country does not have these pirates to harass you, you can concentrate on developing colonies at that time, but our Spain is powerless. Wouldn’t it be cheaper for your Wa country?
It might as well be in the current situation, where everyone is dragged by pirates, and no one has the energy to expand the colony, and it will be cheaper for the Ming people.

Thinking of the people of Ming Dynasty, Duke Colster became envious and jealous.

Although these pirates were very rampant, they still didn't dare to plunder the colonies and ships of the Ming people. Many colonies occupied by the Ming people were rich, but no one dared to provoke them.

It is really enviable and jealous.

I am in a state of desperation, and the people of Daming are probably drinking tea and watching the fun leisurely.

"If it really doesn't work, we must find a way to drag the Daming people into trouble."

Colster actually had a plan in his heart, but this plan was really risky.

If the operation is not good, Spain may face catastrophe. He even dare not report this plan to the King of Spain. He is afraid that once the plan is known to his superiors, he, the governor of West Africa, will go home directly to retire.

You can offend anyone, but don't offend the people of Ming Dynasty.

Their power is really too strong, so strong that even if they single out the whole world, there seems to be no pressure.

"That's a pity~"

Dongfangyue sighed helplessly when she heard Kerst's reply.

The Duke of Kolster is really shrewd. It is not easy to fool him. Maybe he should consider finding the Koreans. The Koreans also have several colonies in West Africa, and they can join forces to deal with pirates.

He was about to leave in person, and was going to Yanshan City to discuss with Li Yi about dealing with pirates.

The Duke of Colster thought for a while and said, "It's okay if we don't form an alliance, but I don't know if you are interested in treating others in the same way?"

"Take the way of others to treat others' bodies?"

"How to say?"

When Dongfang Yue heard this, she immediately asked suspiciously.

"Since they are shameless and rogues use pirates to rob our colonies and treasure ships, why can't we use pirates to rob them too?"

Duke Colster revealed another plan in his heart.

"Loot them?"

Dongfang Yue was even more puzzled, and said: "But they don't have colonies in West Africa. If they had, I would have snatched them all up."

"What a greedy robber!"

Hearing Dongfang Yue's words, Duke Colster couldn't help but secretly elated in his heart, not afraid that you are greedy, but afraid that you are not courageous.

"They don't have colonies overseas, but we can plunder their homeland."

"Although the mainland is a bit poor, slaves are very valuable now, especially white slaves. A slave is worth dozens of taels of silver. It is a very good deal to rob hundreds or thousands of people at a time."

"Hehe~"

"The opponent's rogues, we have to be more rogue than them, and use rogue methods to attack the opponent's rogues. They attack our colonies, and we directly use pirates to rob their homeland."

Duke Colster grinned and smiled.

However, in Dongfang Yue's eyes, he was like a devil, and his smile was so terrifying.

Unexpectedly, the Spanish duke could think of such a vicious plan, and he didn't mind selling Europeans as slaves, even though he was also a European.

It's really scary.

However, this proposal was very attractive to Dongfang Yue. It seemed like a good proposal to plunder Europe's population and sell it for high prices as slaves, and to keep these pirates at bay.
