The 60,000 pirate in Friendship City had not surpassed the afternoon, so they surrendered.
This battle was buried in the city near 30,000 pirate. After the war, the entire Outer City was in a mess, with dead bodies spreading across the streets and streets. Even if there was a sea breeze, it lasted for a long time.
Friendship City City Overseer Gu Xiuwen took the responsibility to clean up city, soothe the people in the city, put out the fire, count the casualties and financial losses of the people, everything is in order.
The restless morale has gradually stabilized.
In City Lord Residence, the Ouyang Shuo who won the battle is not happy and has a face. It was only a group of pirate that defeated this battle, and there was nothing to show off. Two Farah fled again, making Ouyang Shuo quite frustrated. There are many doubts behind the three cases, as if an invisible hand is manipulating everything in secret.
Friendship City was not an accident.
Although the pirate was repelled this time, the reputation of "Capital of Trade" which was hard to establish for Friendship City, and even the reputation of Mighty Route, was a huge shock.
With the news, this negative impact will gradually spread and it will be difficult to eliminate in a short time.
Imagine, in the face of a city that could be attacked by pirate at any time, would Ocean Merchant still dare to stop here for supplies? In the face of an not peaceful route, how many Merchant will be discouraged?
The answer is obvious.
Behind this attack, the target pointed directly at the trade foundation of Great Xia Dynasty.
In the afternoon, Black Snake Guard Command Envoy Black Snake was hurriedly transmitted from Rabat City to Friendship City. Ouyang Shuo's instructions for Black Snake are simple: "Through this King to find out who else has participated in this pirate raid."
Intuitively, Ouyang Shuo suspects that there should be Farah in Nation of Somalia.
"Noah!"
Black Snake didn't dare to neglect, and immediately mobilized its talents. Starting from interrogating the captured pirate, it was necessary to find out who was behind the scenes.
The captured Second Leader has naturally become the focus of Black Snake Guard interrogation.
Ouyang Shuo only knows that Farah is the key figure in Pirate Group, key figure.
Therefore, the Ouyang Shuo order has been renamed to the original Mediterranean Fleet of Atlantic Fleet, the fourth of arranged, and the Fifth Formation immediately passed through Mediterranean Sea, rushed to Gulf of Aden sea domain, and seized "Pirate King" Farah.
Only seize Farah, completely destroying the innocent [Skywolf Pirate Group], beheading it to the public, and bringing it to justice can restore Friendship City's lost credibility and ensure the prosperity of Mighty Route.
This time, Ouyang Shuo will never let go again.
In the City Lord Residence study room, when Ouyang Shuo was thinking about the situation of Gulf of Aden, Xu Chu reported: "beginning report Your Kingship, Friendship City Garrison Division's Division Chief is looking outside."
Ouyang Shuo heard it, and frowned, and suddenly said nothing: "He still has a face to see this King? The order is gone, no need to see, immediately put this person in for Privy Court Military Law Division disposal. "
In this battle, there is a Garrison Division, which has a convenient location and a strong city to defend. In the face of siege of 60,000 pirate, it lost Outer City in less than three hours. It really lost the face of Great Xia Dynasty.
pirate is fierce, but it is objective fact that Garrison Division is negligent in training and conductor is inappropriate in wartime. Switch to another Garrison Division, it can't be so embarrassing.
How is Ouyang Shuo not angry in such a situation.
"Noah!"
Xu Chu rarely sees Your Kingship so angered, dare not say more, and can only mourn for the Division Chief. It ’s okay if he does n’t come to see him. Your Kingship may still hit the muzzle from a light hair and ;, but no one can help.
Due to the poor performance of Friendship City Garrison Division, Ouyang Shuo is more associated with other Garrison Division.
"It seems that it is necessary for Privy Court to have a big assessment of Garrison Division in various places." Ouyang Shuo secretly thought in within heart that local military preparations relaxation was the big taboo rule of King Dynasty.
…………
On the evening of the same day, Ouyang Shuo hosted a banquet in City Lord Residence, in honor of everyone Big Merchant in Friendship City.
The invitation of King of Xia is really an invitation to Merchant.
Ouyang Shuo will naturally soothe the hearts of Merchant, reduce the impact of this attack on Friendship City trade as much as possible, and restore Merchant confidence. Originally this matter could be brought up by City Overseer Gu Xiuwen, but Gu Xiuwen came out and Ouyang Shuo came out, the effect is different.
In Nuoda's banquet hall, Ouyang Shuo toasted, and the audience quieted down instantly. Ouyang Shuo looked around everyone and Merchant, saying: "This time Friendship City was attacked by pirate, Dynasty Court will never be tolerated, King Dynasty Atlantic Fleet has already set sail, and arrive Gulf of Aden will be completely wiped out [Skywolf Pirate Group], and Taiping (peaceful) will be Gulf of Aden."
"King of Xia Holy Ming!"
Merchant is overjoyed. They have been doing business in the Mediterranean Sea area all year round, and they are well aware of the prestige of Atlantic Fleet, knowing that this Fleet shot, [Skywolf Pirate Group] will definitely not be immune.
The uneasy heart gradually calmed down.
Ouyang Shuo went on to say: "Dynasty Court is responsible for guarding the soil, everyone trusts Dynasty Court, and stopped at Friendship City for resupply. This time the pirate attack caused everyone losses, and Dynasty Court will compensate 100 percent. Tomorrow everyone will be able to faithfully register the losses and wait for City Lord Residence. After verification, compensation will be made immediately. "
"This ..."
Merchant looked at each other, but did not expect such good things. According to general rules, even if Dynasty Court does not make any compensation, Merchant has nothing to say. Such full compensation is simply unheard of.
"Thanks for the grace of King of Xia!" Merchant are really grateful, especially the huge loss in this campaign, almost tears. Although ocean trade has a large profit, all the goods are stolen in one trip, and it may lose out.
Dynasty Court This move, I do not know how much Merchant's future was restored.
Ouyang Shuo bowed his head. His hand is similar to "thousand gold to buy the bones". He would rather spend a little money and restore Merchant's confidence in Dynasty Court, which is more important than several 100,000 gold coin.
With the good news, the guests and guests will be happy next banquet.
************
Ouyang Shuo bought people's hearts on Friendship City, and never thought that bad news would come again the next day.
Atlantic Fleet Fourth, Fifth Formation was ordered to cross Mediterranean Sea, met with collective protest from Mediterranean Sea Lord, and even suspended the ongoing negotiations.
In their words, "Since Great Xia Dynasty has promised that Atlantic Fleet will no longer be involved in Mediterranean Sea, it should keep its promises from now on. This move by Atlantic Fleet is undoubtedly a breach of contract."
"We sincerely doubt the sincerity of Great Xia Dynasty," Caesar said.
Unfortunately, the negotiating group High Envoy Purple Silk Orchid can only urgently request Ouyang Shuo, how to deal with this matter.
Ouyang Shuo got the news and was speechless for a long time, but this time it was Great Xia Dynasty.
"Just, is it too coincident in time?" Ouyang Shuo had to be suspicious. Is there a connection between the negotiation and pirate attacking Friendship City? Ouyang Shuo is not easy to draw conclusions now.
Last night, Ouyang Shuo also wanted Merchant to promise to send Atlantic Fleet to destroy pirate. If you break your trust, it will be a real shame, and all previous efforts of Ouyang Shuo will be lost.
Faced with this dilemma, Ouyang Shuo finally set its sights on the southernmost end of Continent of Africa, where there is a magical place called Cape of Good Hope.
Before Suez Canal was excavated, the Europe to Asia route could only reach Asia from Western Europe via West Africa, then Cape of Good Hope of South Africa, and the Cape of Good Hope route became the only maritime passage for Europe people to the East.
After the opening of Suez Canal, although the role of this route has weakened, it is still an indispensable and important channel between Eurasia. Some giant ships cannot pass Suez Canal and must be detoured from here.
When it comes to the Cape of Good Hope route, we have to mention the famous Crusaders of Europe historical.
In the year 1000, Europe began to undergo drastic changes. Rome Catholic hope expelled Muslims from the Middle East district. The Crusades launched by the Holy See of Rome began in 1096, and lasted for about 200 years.
The emergence of the Europe army in the Middle East district has promoted the development of ocean trade in disguise.
The Italy Merchant in Venice and other places made a fortune in war by transporting and providing materials for the warring parties. At the same time, when the Crusaders returned to Europe, they brought back spices, perfumes, silk, steel and medicine from the Middle East district, and became Europe's sought-after bestseller.
Ocean trade has led to the rise of cities and towns, and also created a large number of rich Europe Merchant.
The strength of the Europe nation continues to grow. They have set up the army and the government, and the taxes paid by taxpayers are sufficient to maintain the operation of the army and government.
By the 15 century, the Europe country was ready to move and was ready to go out for adventure.
The Portugal people were the earliest people. In 1400, they wanted to control the spice trade with the East. They wanted to go beyond Venice and Arab intermediaries and do business directly with the East.
If they can go to Asia to buy these goods directly by sea, they will greatly increase their profits.
The explorers of Portugal have visited the Africa West Sea shore. hope found a route to India and East Asia. They finally arrive Continent of Africa's southernmost — Cape of Good Hope.
Compared with Suez Canal, Cape of Good Hope is not an ideal route.
Because Cape of Good Hope is just at the confluence of the Indian Ocean warm current and the Antarctic cold current, the strong waves caused by the strong westerly jet currents are constant all year round. In addition to the storms, there are often "killer waves".
The front of this kind of waves is like a cliff, and the back is like a gentle mountain slope. It frequently appears in winter, and the rotating waves caused by polar winds are added from time to time. When these two waves are superimposed, the sea conditions are even worse. bad. There is also a strong coastal current here. When waves and currents meet, the entire sea surface rolls like a pan, and it is often difficult to sail to Shipping here.
Thus, Cape of Good Hope has become the world's most Dangerous nautical lot.
Ouyang Shuo This plan is to help Atlantic Fleet bypass Cape of Good Hope, develop Cape of Good Hope route, and bypass arrive Somalia, which is also a helpless choice.
Annihilation [Skywolf Pirate Group] is related to King Dynasty reputation.
Ouyang Shuo is the king of Great Xia Dynasty, one word worth nine dings. Since he made a commitment to Merchant, he must fulfill it. Otherwise, he will lose his trust in the people and the world.
