Chapter 1255 Turn Your Eyes to the South

With grain in hand, don't panic in my heart.

At any time, food is the top priority.

For the current equation, finding a new food source as soon as possible to relieve Waterles' urgent need is the top priority.

The merchant fleet sent out seems to be hopeless in a short time, and a new method must be found now.

In order to solve this trouble, Equation called Edgar again and wanted to discuss with him.

"It seems that the fleet will not be able to return in the short term. Is there anything else you can do?"

"This is really difficult..."

"Are there any merchant ships going to the Nile recently?" The equation puts the target on those merchant ships passing Waterles.

"There are, but they are very few compared to before." Edgar added, "Now that the Nile is in chaos, businessmen from all over the world are afraid to go to Nile again. This route has lost its original prosperity. .”

Fang Fang lowered his head in thought, and said in a low voice, "As long as there are still merchant ships going to Nile, we can think of ways to do this."

Edgar raised his eyebrows and looked at Equation in surprise, "Your Majesty, do you want to attack these merchant ships?"

"From time to time, the most important thing now is to ensure the food supply of Waterles."

The attitude that Waters took to deal with these merchant ships from all over the world before was to let them dock at Waters at will, and let them continue to trade with Nero, but at that time, Waters had no With such a serious food crisis, such a policy is obviously not suitable for further implementation.

The equation already has an idea, and the next step is to implement a shipping ban on Nile. To put it simply, it is to block Nile's maritime shipping.

From now on, Waterles will send a sea fleet to cruise the open sea to stop all merchant ships sailing to Nile.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to do this? This is a double-edged sword."

"The situation is like this, at least this will ensure that Watles will not be in chaos."

"Maybe there is a better way..."

"Then can you tell me?"

Edgar was left speechless by the equation, so he obediently kept his mouth shut.

In essence, Edgar is still a businessman, and he advocates free trade in his bones, and he does not agree with the practice of equations.But he can't decide these things. His current status is just the trade officer of Wan Guo, and he is only in charge of trade matters. The operation of the whole Wan Guo is ultimately determined by the equation.

After being silent for a while, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in Edgar's eyes. It seemed that he had thought of a feasible solution just now.

"Your Majesty, I actually have a solution, which may solve the urgent need."

"any solution?"

"Your Majesty, do you still remember that there is a Black Flag Island to the south of Waterles, and there is a group of black sail pirates on it."

"A bunch of hyenas at sea, of course."

Equation has always hated pirates, so he is no stranger to those black-sail islands.

Take the present as an example, the gang of black sail pirates are still active in the waters off Waterles. They dare not attack Waterles ships, because they have had a few bloody lessons before, but they set their sights on On the merchant ships and the fleeing ships from the Nile.

These merchant ships and escape ships are like zebras and antelopes on the grassland, and these black-sail pirates are like hyenas dispatched in groups, and the two sides are the relationship between prey and hunter.

Every day, merchant ships and fleeing ships come to Wateres, and many ships are intercepted by these black-sail pirates every day.

Once intercepted by them, the people on board will be killed and their bodies thrown away, and their belongings on board will also be looted.

Edgar was a little afraid of offending Equation, and said carefully: "Your Majesty, these southern pirates have been operating in the southern islands all year round. They must have food in their hands. Maybe we can talk to them."

"Talk? What's there to talk about?"

Sure enough, Fang Fang showed a look of displeasure. He has always hated pirates, and he never thought of negotiating with pirates one day.

Edgar said: "Right now, what Waterles lacks most is food, and these pirates must have food in their hands. We can have a good talk with them. As long as they are willing to sell us food, we can pay a high price to buy it."

"no!"

"Your Majesty, if you don't want to come forward, you can leave this matter to me."

"No one in the nations can negotiate with pirates."

After throwing down a sentence that cannot be divided, Fang Fang left the room angrily.

He felt that it was too embarrassing just to mention "negotiating with pirates". How could he, the majestic king of all nations, negotiate with these notorious pirates? Yes, it is entirely possible for the battleship to sail directly over and wipe out these pirates.

In the backyard, Song Zhixi, Hathaway, and Wei Lin were all there. The three women were sitting together, talking and laughing, enjoying the afternoon.

Fang Fang couldn't bear to disturb their reunion, and retreated quietly.

Back in the front hall, Edgar was still waiting there. He wanted to persuade Equation again, hoping that Equation would consider his suggestion of negotiating with the pirates.

"Your Majesty, actually..."

"Don't say any more, I've made my decision."

Edgar's eyes rolled, and he was undecided. He didn't know whether Fang Fang decided to talk to the pirates, or he never made any plans in this regard.

Fang Fang walked out of the front hall and said without shaking his head: "It's just a bunch of rabble, let's see how I can deal with them."

Edgar's heart sank, the words of the equation were already obvious, this was to deal with those black sail pirates.

At the risk of angering Equation, he chased after him and tried his best to persuade: "Your Majesty, those pirates are not that easy to deal with. I have dealt with them before and know that they have been operating in the southern islands for many years and have their own stable territory. In the past, it was very likely that it would not be good.”

"What was the strength of Watles back then, and what is the strength of Watles now, how can the two be the same?"

"Don't say any more, I've made up my mind on this matter."

On how to deal with these black sail pirates, Equation and Edgar had a disagreement.

Edgar used to be the admiral of Waterles, and he was deeply troubled by those black sail pirates. He felt extremely headaches for those black sail pirates. Still dare not take those pirates lightly.

But the equation was different. He was the king of all nations. How could a king easily negotiate with pirates? As long as he started this way, his majesty as a king would be greatly reduced.

Furthermore, Fang Fang has experienced hundreds of battles, and has never taken the initiative to admit defeat before the battle has started.He is confident that with the strength of all nations, he can even compete with the current Nero, and there is nothing he can't deal with with a mere bunch of pirates.
