Chapter 391 390. Warship Diplomacy, Navy Goes Alone

The voyage in the following days was uneventful, with no trouble at all.

Even the weather has been cloudless and sunny for several consecutive days. Although there is no strong wind to assist, the power of the steel cruise ship itself will not consider sailing that requires wind help.

Although they also encountered sirens during the voyage, those who tried to lure the sailors with their songs caused the ship to run aground on the rocks.

Sirens are not a race friendly to humans or land creatures. On the contrary, they often confuse sailors into jumping into the sea through their songs and the upper bodies of girls.

For ships, encountering sirens is as much a disaster as stormy weather.

But when the steel cruise ship, which was dozens of miles away, slowly approached, after seeing the size of the steel monster clearly, the sirens jumped into the sea wisely and quickly without any hesitation, and left as if running for their lives.

In fact, it was indeed an escape. If the Siren escaped a little later, Viscount Nidas could introduce the protective measures of the steel cruise ship to the customers on the ship.

What is certain is that once the [protective measures] are activated, those sirens will not even leave their bodies behind.

When the sirens fled, Mo Cheng looked on with some pity.

After the battle with Abner, a believer in [Great Abyss], Mo Cheng already had some opinions on [Direction Skill Points].

If you follow the sirens and kill them, there is a high probability that the [directional skill points] you get will all point to the skills of [Naga Siren].

But to verify this view, a siren whose strength is at the eighth level is needed as an opponent. Mo Cheng can only watch the group of sirens whose average strength is only less than the sixth level leave.

…

The seaport has appeared in front of you, and along with the whistle of the steel cruise ship comes the maritime army of the Kingdom of Bozeko.

But Mo Cheng looked at the wooden-structured ships. Some of them seemed to have used magical means to incorporate the flesh and blood of powerful creatures, but when faced with a pure steel monster, there still seemed to be no comparison.

The largest ship in the Bozeko Kingdom is only half the height of the steel cruise ship.

"So, I don't quite understand your purpose of driving this ship to the Kingdom of Bozeko."

In the captain's room, Mo Cheng wisely did not disturb the one-eyed captain. He asked Viscount Nidas: "If I remember correctly, the Kingdom of Bozeko and Aundair are not very friendly, right?"

As far as Mo Cheng knew, there was some historical conflict between the Bizeko Kingdom and Aundair, and Viscount Nidas driving a ship over in such a arrogant manner was indeed a bit provocative.

Maybe this is what the other party wants to do, to travel so far to other countries to provoke?

"It's indeed not very friendly." Viscount Nidas smiled. "Two years ago, I passed a batch of goods here and was intercepted by the local nobles on the pretext of inspection. The goods were so expensive that I was without money for half a year. Hold a banquet.”

Sure enough, this guy was planning to cause trouble.

"Let me tell you, the firepower of this thing is more like a warship than a yacht. Who would make a warship's maiden voyage to a city in another country?"

Mo Cheng had a clear look on his face, but he didn't say it out loud. He felt that Viscount Nidas might have other motives besides seeking trouble.

While Mo Cheng was still guessing what Viscount Nidas's purpose was, Viscount Nidas slowly said: "Moreover, this ship costs a lot of money, and it is impossible to build it with a normal level of investment, even if there are many Even if the big businessmen and nobles have intentions."

Viscount Nidas's words made Mo Cheng instantly understand the meaning of what he did.

Ordinary merchants and nobles may need a steel ship for sea transportation, but they do not need a costly ship like a steel cruise ship. The cost is not proportional to the income.

So is there any way to attract more investment?

Mo Cheng didn't think in that direction at first, but judging from the current situation, Viscount Nidas planned to regain the situation two years ago.

By the way, show the combat effectiveness of the steel cruise ship, and then attract investment from the Aundair military industry.

Driving a warship to another country's city intending to open the door to other countries' shipping.

Mo Cheng felt that he had seen this plot more than once, and had also taken it in exams.

"Aren't you afraid that the Bozeko Kingdom will go to war with us?"

Not to mention that the political model of the Bozeko Kingdom is monarchical centralization. At the same time, the entire country is also military-focused. Even if it is a weak country, such a provocation will develop into a war between the two countries.

"Wouldn't it be better to go to war?"

Viscount Nidas had a half-smile on his face, "Her Majesty the Queen intends to curb the power in the hands of the nobles, and the nobles are unwilling to hand over their power. Originally, this was fine, but recently the conflicts between the two parties have begun to escalate. This is not good. , if there is an internal fight, we won’t be able to make good money.”

"So..." Mo Cheng squinted his eyes. He had already realized what Viscount Nidas wanted to do. "You just want to use this provocation to form the established fact of starting a war with the Kingdom of Bozeko?"

Question: When a country's internal conflicts begin to escalate, how can the outbreak of conflicts be delayed or transferred?

Answer: War, a foreign war.

Mo Cheng felt that his eyes were really opened today, and he reviewed a lot of knowledge points in the history textbook at once.

He knew that the queen's faction and the noble faction in Fairhaven were secretly fighting each other, and he also knew that the conflicts had been gradually escalating recently.

But he never expected that the neutral system, which seemed like a wallflower, wanted not to calm the conflicts between the two parties, but to transfer the conflicts to the outside world.

What the fuck is this solo tactic? !

"So, are you going to tell them, 'Open the door, let's trade freely,' or are you going to use the excuse that the sailors on the ship are lost in the city and are looking for it?"

"And my appearance is also part of your plan, Viscount Nidas?"

Mo Cheng doubted that Viscount Nidas was so willing to give him free tickets. Apart from the fact that he was an earl, the other reason was that he needed an important figure on the ship, so that he could cause [An. This is the established impression that Del intends to attack the Kingdom of Bozeco.

Free stuff is the most expensive.

Gan!

"No, I had no idea about your arrival, Earl, in advance, but since you want to board the ship, I can't refuse, can I?"

Viscount Nidas was still smiling. Although he knew that the other party was taking advantage of him, Mo Cheng didn't bring up much ill feelings.

After all, it was delivered to your door.

"You want to capture this port?"

"No, the first step is just to sink the ships under the names of the nobles who detained my goods, and then take revenge on me first."

Thanks to [Nine-Tailed Yanhu] for the reward
