Grasse City.

The sky is always cloudy, a large number of factories are entrenched in the suburbs, and child laborers are used arbitrarily. The emerging capitalists have tried every means to crush workers and spare no effort in reducing costs.

Such a sweatshop, known as an adult who has lived for five years, is also a member of them, and together they have created the splendid state of Insman.

In the heart of the city, like a minaret of Gothic buildings, a huge clock tower sounds the clock.

There is always a shortage of people in the streets, black bowlers, gray coats, and a civilization stick, forming the gentleman's mainstream dress at this time.

A gorgeous carriage with two black horses, driving through a classically styled bridge.

Donald opened the window, and what he saw was a river full of black rubbish, stinking, and obviously polluted, and frowned.

As a sea warlock, he hates such a place, especially the way to harm the water source.

It is a pity that he is only a new and famous economist. Even if he attacks, he will not play much role at all, because this is the trend of a big era.

The carriage continued to move forward and stopped in front of a magnificent palace-like manor.

The birds are fragrant and the servants are in groups.

All of this made Donald have a strong sense of guilt, as if he had come to heaven from hell.

"Is it Mr. Donald?"

A butler in a tuxedo opened the door and slightly turned around: "The Duke has been waiting for a long time!"

This is the residence of the Duke of Ham.

At this time, Insman, on the bright side, ruled the kingdom by the royal family. Actually, a large part of the power was concentrated in the hands of the parliament and the prime minister.

Of course, as a king, there is also a lot of power. Kingship and power are in a delicate balance.

The Duke of Ham is not only a royal family, but also an evergreen in politics. He has had several prime ministers and countless political allies. He is the top aristocrat of Insman.

Such a big aristocrat wants to meet Donald, and Donald is naturally only coming.

On a lawn, Donald saw the contemporary Duke of Ham.

This is a white-haired, energetic old man who is wearing a loose silk robes and enjoying afternoon tea leisurely.

"Mr. Donald... I have been famous for a long time. I am fortunate to read your "The Wealth of Nations". Many of these views are really impressive!"

After seeing Donald, the Duke took the initiative to get up and greeted him: "Pour a cup of black tea for my guests. I have a new pastry chef here. I am doing something very good, try it!"

"Thank you!"

Donald expressed his gratitude and took the exquisite porcelain teacup.

The porcelain here comes from the eastern continent, with the color of the glass, beautifully like a piece of art.

Black tea is another zealand kingdom from Insman.

There is also sugar cubes, which are the product of tropical plantations.

"I wish the great Insman..."

All of this seems to be telling the rise of a powerful country. Insman seems to be the king of the world through this maritime voyage!

"Have our queen!"

The Duke of Ham smiled and took a sip of black tea: "Mr. Donald, don't you know if I know what you are asking for?"

"of course!"

Donald stood up and once again: "I am honored to be a private consultant for the Duke!"

"That's great... there are a lot of recent things, it's annoying, with your help, I can easily be more..."

The duke smiled and handed a newspaper.

Donald took it cautiously and knew that this was the assessment.

He fixed his mind and looked at the first edition.

The scent of the ink came out, but it didn't touch the hand. The huge headline above was unusually conspicuous. "Atrocities! The port of Dearborn was robbed by pirates!!!"

Under the heading, there is also a black and white photo. Although it is a little fuzzy, you can see a lot of ruins and bodies.

"... It is reported that this port of Dearborn was attacked by pirates, accompanied by civil riots. The Royal Navy has already sailed to Port Dearborn to calm down the situation... Loss statistics, civilians have more than 1,000 deaths and injuries, The family of the Viscounts of Dearborn was wiped out... As a result, in the stock exchange today, several companies that traded with Dearborn plunged..."

"Pirates, **** pirates!"

The Duke of Ham sighed with a forehead: "Look at it... What do we seem like a brilliant country, what is it like?" The riots of the citizens, who don't know the most in the Port of Dearborn is the pirate! The viscount can be regarded as lifting a rock and licking his own feet. It is only... The imposing manner of Insman is not allowed to be embarrassed. In any case, the pirates who kill the Insman nobles must pay the price!"

"I don't know which pirate did this kind of thing?"

Donald fixed the **** and asked.

"It seems to be a group of newly emerging pirates. The nickname is called a 诡 诡 ’ , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 超 ,

Under today's communication conditions, I can still know that this information is enough to see the Duke's simplicity.

"... Several consortiums with damaged interests have joined forces to form a resolution. The pirate is wanted all night. The amount is... 10,000 Jin Jialong!"

Donald nodded, knowing that the sorcerer, 80% of the name was picked up.

After all, the pirates who have come up with such a huge reward are rare.

"Frequent pirates are only one thing, and on the other hand, they are catching up in other countries..."

The Duke of Ham continued: "China has acquired huge amounts of wealth in the maritime trade, and it has long caused embarrassment in other countries on the mainland of O'Far. It seems that Sissel has expanded the scale of the shipyard. In the next three years, we will build a fleet of hundreds of warships and 10,000 seafarers!"

“At the same time, countries are also liberalizing restrictions and encouraging private capital to go out... their marine capitalists will be the biggest rivals of our Insman businessmen in the future!”

......

The Duke seems to be old, and the speech is a bit confusing, but the meaning is very clear.

Donald’s silence for a moment, and thought of the revelation of Fang Yuan before, could not help but say: “Pirates and foreign countries, this seems to be two problems. In fact, it is only two aspects of a problem, all around the hegemony of the ocean! The real world Wang, only one!"

"Yes, and it can only be our Insman!"

The Duke of Ham did not hesitate.

"To tell the truth... Our Insman is an island country. It is uniquely positioned and has accumulated before. Other countries want to catch up with us. It is also very difficult. And among the major shipyards, are there any killers? ?"

Donald blinked.

"Although this is the case, even if we have an invincible fleet, maintenance and maintenance is a big problem. We can't drive a warship, nor can we block all the oceans!"

The Duke of Ham said that if Donald had only this level, it would undoubtedly disappoint him.

"Yes, so we need to fight against pirates and attack the merchant ships of all countries..."

Donald whispered whisperedly: "But Scorpio Insman, our position is really good, like a ship that never sinks, guarding the offshore of O'Fal... if my memory is correct, then In the offshore, even the pirates active in the nightmare sea, the Insman nationals occupy a very important proportion?"

"indeed!"

Because it is an island country, the sea has formed a tradition, and a large number of fishermen are used to living in the sea, and they do not mind fishing.

"In fact, not only the fishermen, but even the bankrupt aristocrats seem to have joined some of the bad things..."

Donald sneered: "That's a simple matter. How about the pirate license we issued to our country? As long as they don't **** our own ships and only grab ships from other countries, their interests can be protected in Insman. !"

"license?"

The Duke of Hamm was a little dizzy: "You mean...we are talking with pirates? No...no..."

"The pirates in the ocean are originally a powerful force. If we can get a part of it, it will be very beneficial for our expansion!" Donald said firmly: "And you can use them to block the development of the oceans of other countries, even if they fail. Don't feel bad! At the crucial moment, you can also recruit these forces to join the naval battle... Even after the pirates are old, or want to be good, we can also tax them in exchange for special powers..."

In the past, the United Kingdom was like this.

However, at that time, the British Navy was not strong, but it was only an expedient measure to deal with Spain, a maritime power.

In the world of Insman, the navy is the world's number one in the world, but still can choose to do so, in order to combat the development of the maritime industry in other countries!

Although the starting point is different, the final interests are the same.

Therefore, even if the Duke of Ham suddenly shook his head, Donald was very confident.

"Well... this idea, I think we need to discuss it well..." The Duke of Ham flicked indefinitely: "Well... Mr. Donald, I want to invite you to have dinner with me, how?"

The housekeeper with the teapot on the side shook, knowing that the person who was invited to dinner by the Duke had a better level of intimacy and could not help but look at the economist.

"That's my pleasure!" Donald smiled and covered.

"If... I just said if..." The Duke of Ham slowly asked: "The license proposal was implemented. What do you think should be called?"

"Private license, I think this official name is very good!"

Donald suggested: "And those pirate ships that have obtained private permits can get some support from our navy, maybe they can be called ... Royal pirates?!"
