"Oh, war! Who are you fighting with? What a coincidence, I'm also fighting! I'll ask you a risky question, do you need my help?" Hong Tao held a cigar in his mouth, drank the wine in the cup, and used the third master in front of him as a person who was teasing. He followed them first and saw when they could endure it.

"If Your Majesty can withdraw these warships, our family's battle will be over!" Before the old earl could speak, one of his sons could not help it.

"Otto! Shut up your mouth! Your Majesty, please forgive him. He is not criticizing Your Majesty. But I do want to know why Your Majesty had a misunderstanding with our family's fleet. If we had known that it was Your Majesty on the opposite side, we would not have had such a meaningless battle." Henry II severely stopped his son's attempt to continue speaking, but continued his son's words and chatted.

"Hahahaha, Count, let's just say something. Everyone's time is precious. In our country, wasting the emperor's time is a serious crime! Otto, right? You are very correct. As long as I withdraw, the battle will definitely end. However, I will not withdraw troops until my conditions are met. However, my army is not here to attack the territory of the Count of Nassau, but is just revengeing an alliance called Flanders Hansea. It attacked our country's ships at sea and captured my sailors. But I didn't expect that the Count's fleet would stand with them to fight. Can you explain the reason for this? Young man!" Hong Tao was also annoyed with the old Count. They were very patient. They talked about it for more than half an hour, but did not mention the peace talk.

"Your Majesty, I think there should be a misunderstanding here. We attacked Earl Carl's ships and did not do anything rude to Your Majesty's fleet." As soon as he talked about the specific issues, Henry II immediately became serious, resolutely refused to admit that he was the initiator of the war, and questioned Hong Tao's remarks.

"The misunderstanding should be that you and your allies, I lent him the ships and sailors of Earl Carl. Everyone should know that Earl Carl and I have a deep connection. When he participated in the Crusade, he was captured and wandered to my country. I redeemed him from the cannibals, and then sent him back to the Mediterranean and lent him a sum of money to build the Carl Fort. We are friends, but we cannot be careless in terms of money, in order to protect him.

He had to pay back the reputation of me, so I lent him the ship and sailor to let him pay the debt by whaling. You don’t object to this?" It is an extremely unwise choice to reason with Hong Tao, who has already gained the absolute advantage. It is better to hold his thigh and cry about how miserable he is. Maybe if that sentence goes to Hong Tao’s heart, he can let you go. If you want to judge right from wrong with him, he can start five hundred years ago, and in the end you ignore it.

"If we are willing to compensate Your Majesty for his losses, can Your Majesty withdraw his troops?" What is Hong Tao's relationship with Carl, except Jiang Zhuyi, even Frederick II is not particularly clear about it, so this issue cannot be discussed. Henry II can only admit Hong Tao's statement.

"I think this is not only a matter that money can solve. Attacking the ships of the imperial emperors is a death sentence in my country, but it must be hanged in the port, and even collecting corpses. All those involved in this matter must be hanged and they have to involve the entire family. This is called family raiding and extermination in my country. Do you understand? The entire family must be killed, and no one will be left!" Withdrawal? I thought it was beautiful, I gave it a few dollars and thought I was a beggar!

It seems that the third master did not intend to admit defeat at all. They wanted to take a delayed plan, fool themselves, and then evacuate the ships to reduce losses, and make a comeback in the future. Since they were going to plot against themselves, don’t be polite, and scare them first. In order to make what they said more convincing, Hong Tao borrowed all the laws of the Song Dynasty. While speaking, he used his palm as a knife and made a head-blade gesture, and the expression on his face was as hideous as it was.

"Your Majesty may have forgotten that this is not your Majesty's country. If your Majesty thinks that this matter should be resolved according to the law, we might as well go to the King of Germany to let the King make a fair judgment. Or go to the Emperor of the Empire. The Emperor should not be biased towards anyone. Your personal relationship with the Emperor is also a guarantee, what do you think?" Henry II said this very terrible. He wanted to amplify a war to the height of the country and the Empire, and he also warned Hong Tao in disguise not to do whatever he wants. This is Europe!

"Hahahaha, you guys, I really think the German King and the Emperor of the Empire can control me? Let alone the two of them, even if they call Louis IX, Henry III and the Pope, they are not qualified to judge whether the emperor's behavior is legal. You may not know yet, right? I am not only the Emperor of the Empire, but also the Commander of the Imperial Navy. My captains once asked me a question, they wanted to know where the borders of the Empire are, because my empire is too big and they have almost swallowed up the Great Food Kingdom. I told them that the borders of the Empire are within the farthest range of their warships and guns. Do you understand? In my law, anyone who is defeated by me can only judge according to my law, and I will do whatever I say. If I don't agree, I will defeat me, but here

Before, I advise you to listen to me. This is my condition for withdrawal. Take it back and discuss with the people in your alliance to answer. I won’t urge you. You should discuss it slowly. I will move forward slowly. When you have discussed it, I will tell me one more time. Please, three respected gentlemen, you should get off the boat, and I still have to rush forward." When I heard that I was going to do it with myself, Hong Tao was very happy. This place should be not far from The Hague. If necessary, he could set up a court there, then act as the Earth Officer, arrest them all, convict them, and hang them on the shelf by the sea. It’s so funny, the battle has come to this point, and he still comes to do it with me. It seems that if they don’t let them know what pain means, they will not willingly admit defeat.

"Forgive me, do you want to conquer the city with warships? It is better for both sides to take a step back and come up with conditions that can be accepted by both sides. If Your Majesty is willing, we may be able to cooperate. Your Majesty provides goods from the East and we are responsible for selling them. This is much more interesting than war." Even though Hong Tao issued the order to expel the passengers, Henry II was still bargaining, and gave Hong Tao a reminder that the warships could not go ashore.

"If I wanted to do business here, I would have done it long ago, and I don't have to wait until now. I need to tell you a rule, my rule, and the harm of not following the rules. Unfortunately, Flanders Hanseatic is the first violator to accept punishment. In order for this rule to attract everyone's attention in the future, the punishment this time must be severe. My conditions will not change. Please tell others in the league that war is inevitable unless they can agree to all my conditions immediately. I think this is difficult.

The degree is a bit too high. So I prefer to demonstrate it to them by myself, letting them see what punishment is, so that they will have a deeper impression in the future. Prepare to raise the anchor and raise the sail!" Now no one can convince Hong Tao to stop the war. He finally had a chance to have fun without any scruples. Maybe it would be the last time. Hong Tao would definitely not want to miss it. He wanted to treat this place as Kalamba Port, and let the people here remember themselves once. Every time he had any small thoughts, he would think of this heart-wrenching pain.

Before the Count of Nassau and his son returned to their sloop sailboat, Hong Tao's fleet began to slowly advance. Taking advantage of the hour before negotiations, the landing troops had sorted out their equipment and supplies, left the landing site one after another, searching east along the river bank, and at this time the forward had already walked five kilometers away.

According to Hong Tao's opinion, these Indians who were used to hiking in rainforests and mountains were more suitable for being the army. Because they were almost used to walking in all road conditions, as long as the climate was not too cold, the equipment they carried was not too heavy, and they would not sweat if they walked five or six kilometers an hour. After a little urge, ten kilometers would be a side dish, and they were all iron feet. Especially these army, which were similar to the Marine Corps, had warships to serve as logistics supplies for them, and usually they didn't even have to bring too much food. They were just carrying bullet belts and drinking water, and light infantry was not considered a good deal. It was not difficult to deal with grasslands in lowlands in Europe.

In order not to let the infantry get too far away from the fleet, Hong Tao had to let the lookout hand launch a large scattered monkey on the mast to remind the distance between the infantry and the fleet. This kind of contact method was also something Hong Tao thought of by chance. It was originally used for communication when marching in the jungle, but now it is better used in plain areas. Not only can you hear sounds, but you can also see smoke during explosions.

After walking forward for about ten kilometers, the river was over. Just seven or eight kilometers away, the anchorage of dozens of sailboats was at their sight. Behind was a shipyard with many tall cranes standing. There was a castle on a high ground two or three kilometers away from the shipyard.

It seems that this small port called Behenopzom has been upgraded long ago and was used by Flanders Hanseatic as a very important military port. From then on, their fleet set out, opposite the Island of England. It takes three or four days south to reach the west entrance of the Strait of Gibraltar, and the Jutland Peninsula is also three or four days north to the north, which is the only sea route between the Baltic Sea and the North Sea. With this naval base, Flanders Hanseatic can not only control the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, but also go south to enter the Mediterranean Sea. The strategic location is very important.
