New World 1620

My grandma said that no war in the world could be called a real war without me.

My grandma said again, this is not our war, I just provide the means of security they need.

My grandma also said that selling tobacco will choke people to death, at least my products have safety plugs.

……

……

"Your grandma is really boring, saying these words all day long... how do I remember that this is a line from a certain movie? You actually have the heart to copy and paste it and fool the Portuguese!"

In Port of Heroes, Azores Islands, in the spacious backyard of the Governor's Mansion, two Chinese youths are standing together, accompanying Governor Garcia to watch a weapons delivery ceremony.

In the center of the field, a Portuguese officer dressed in full body armor and a group of Portuguese soldiers in leather armor and iron helmets were looking curiously at the Type 21B flintlock rifles in their hands.

"Gentlemen, boys are ready."

Seeing the two Yankees beside him muttering, Garcia, who couldn't understand Chinese, couldn't help coughing, and then gestured to the port garrison officer: "Major Leo, let the soldiers start!"

The bearded officer in full armor stood at attention, pulled out his sword, and opened his big mouth missing a front tooth with a grim expression: "Raise the gun! Aim!"

With an order, two rows of dozens of Portuguese soldiers pulled the trigger, and a row of wooden targets more than 60 meters away immediately flew up pieces of sawdust, and more than half of them were beaten to pieces.

The Portuguese officer with a beard seemed a little bit disbelieving his eyes, while the soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, holding the 21B flintlock rifles in their hands at a loss.

"It's really great...Even the Spanish Castilian shooters can't do this!" Garcia's eyes were shining.

He has long heard the story of a certain duel from Lisbon, but until now, Garcia has never seen with his own eyes a weapon that is far more powerful and precise than the most advanced matchlock gun in Europe.

"Your Excellency Governor Garcia, the company's products have always been known for their reliable quality and are suitable for all ages... As for the price, I think your country's chamber of commerce should be aware of the product grades of this quality..."

Mi Gu lit a cigarette smartly, and protruded a long puff. In the distance, a Portuguese businessman who purely made soy sauce was leaning against the wall and yawning boredly.

"Well... In line with the traditional friendship between the United States and Portugal, I believe this will be a pleasant transaction. Then, Your Excellency Governor Garcia, I still have official duties to deal with, so I will leave."

Shi Wenbo seemed to have wanted to leave a long time ago, but he just gave Garcia a slight nod, and exited the backyard tactfully. As for how the other party will discuss the next content dirtyly, it is not his concern.

……

……

An hour later, in the Consulate General of the American Republic of China in Europe, two Chinese youths sat together face to face again.

Shi Wenbo, the self-appointed commercial counselor, held an import and export trade certificate in his hand with a resentful expression on his face.The trade certificate is divided into two pages in Chinese and Latin. Among them, in the category column of export commodities on the Chinese page, the words "metal clothes drying pole" are written in black and white on a white background.

"You and Garcia are so shameless, the clothes pole...it's filled with gunpowder and lead bullets, it can punch holes in other people's bodies from 100 yards away..." Shi Wenbo grinned, and finally signed his name, Then he handed the document to the other party, "Migu, you and Garcia don't need to drag me into the water, right?"

"This is what the customer emphasized. They need this kind of trade certificate, and they can pay a lot less tax. Besides, Governor Garcia is not easy. I should give him some benefits, right? The customer's request is my mission!" Migu took off Sunglasses, he took out a pack of cigarettes without a smile on his face, and gave one to Shi Wenbo, "800 21B flintlock guns, I got all of them out this time, what a joke. Now the officials of Hero Harbor only need to see us The import and export trade certificates are not checked on the ship."

"It's so easy, it seems that those Spaniards are also interested in this batch of goods, how did you dispel the suspicion of the Spaniards?" Shi Wenbo looked suspiciously into the eyes of the other party.

"Well, both Garcia and the Spaniards want to buy all the goods, but they don't accept the price of 80 Spanish silver dollars. The reason is that in Europe now, the cost of a matchlock gun is only 10 Spanish silver dollars." Migu exhaled a puff of smoke ring , laughing wildly, "So I simply invited their trade agents to the hotel last night and let them bid freely in front of them."

"Now the Spaniards are fighting secretly with the Portuguese! You shit-stirring stick, you will expose us all!" Before he lit a cigarette, Shi Wenbo almost jumped up when Migu said this.

"I said there are only 400 sticks, and they can pay as much as they want...the price was raised to 75 Spanish silver dollars on the spot, and then both of them refused to trade in a fit of anger." Migu shrugged, expressing his innocence, "but that night, they They met with me separately, and raised the price to 90 Spanish silver dollars, so I 'had to sell them all'."

"In this way, they all thought that they had bought it, but the other party gave up the deal." Shi Wenbo suddenly realized, and smiled wickedly, "If I guessed correctly, you must have announced that the goods were sold to businessmen from other countries the next day? "

"No comment... I also signed an import contract with the Spaniards to smuggle a batch of merino sheep to Manhattan in the name of goats, and I gave them a 100% discount on this batch of munitions." Migu pressed his cigarette butt, his expression even more mysterious , "[-] merino sheep, I will continue to provide them with more arms. I heard that Spain is not only at war with the Netherlands, but also joined hands with the Holy Roman Empire to fight the Protestant coalition."

"Merino sheep?! Damn, good stuff, not to mention [-]% off, you can give it away for free! What is the background of that man?!" Shi Wenbo was a little shocked, and he clenched his hands tightly.

Spanish national treasure sheep breeds such as Merino sheep were strictly prohibited from exodus by Spain in the 17th century, and smuggling one was a capital crime.Ordinary businessmen don't have that much energy to get such a precious top-grade sheep breed from Spain.

"The Duke of Frias of Spain, the brother-in-law of the Duke of Braganza in Portugal." Migu tidied up his clothes, stood up and planned to leave, "I hope the next batch of Manhattan munitions can arrive as soon as possible, and it would be better to have cannons. After finishing the current business, I plan to go to the European continent in a while, and the business here is not exciting. By the way, I sent a girl to your room as a reward for your hard work."

"You're bribing a 'national civil servant'..." Shi Wenbo was slightly taken aback, as if he understood why this ugly young man dared to smuggle gold.

"Well... I'm not afraid that you are honest and fair, but I am afraid that you are not interested."

……

……

After dismissing the arms smugglers, Shi Wenbo was in a great mood, and walked to the back garden with small steps.There, a beautiful European noble lady had just left, and Yang Wenwen, who had just returned from Lisbon, accompanied the youngest daughter of the Marquis of Santa Cruz in the Kingdom of Spain.

"Hi! Beauty, how are you talking with our Marquise Anna?" Shi Wenbo looked at the empty seat by the small table with some regret, and stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"Why, did you finally get rid of that smuggler?" Yang Wenwen was wearing a beautiful oriental court dress, and she obviously spared no effort to fool the Spanish aristocratic daughter who came to Hero Harbor to study "American upper-class social life".

"Wait, what I want to ask is, how can you leave without waiting for me?" Shi Wenbo's face was a bit resentful.

"If you don't want to cause any international diplomatic conflicts, I advise you not to mess with others!" Yang Wenwen picked up her coffee cup, took a sip, and then looked at the well-dressed diplomat in front of her with a smile. The trading agents of the nobles have received many promises from you, can you accept it?"

"I believe that what I said is definitely more restrained than Su Zining!" Shi Wenbo shrugged, saying that he absolutely took the overall situation into consideration, "Even if the current productivity of the Manhattan community is not as good as that of a township enterprise in the past, it can definitely produce more than it is now. European country bumpkins dream of better products. When I set off, the soap was almost ready for production."

"Well, it's no wonder that Miss Anna kept asking about this matter. I guess you made up a lot..." Yang Wenwen stood up, lazily tapped her waist, as if she was about to leave, "Shi Wenbo, why don't you leave?" The Community Economic and Management Committee doesn’t do it, and they come to Europe, the purpose is not pure..."

"Hehe, Sister Yang misunderstood, I actually sacrificed that comfortable job for the sake of the whole community. Miss Anna and I are pure friends!" Shi Wenbo smiled, and sent Yang Wenwen to the carriage at the door with a full face. They are all harmless expressions.

……

……

It was night, and in a bedroom of the temporary consulate, a man and a woman embraced each other, and dresses and dresses were discarded on the floor of the room.

"God... I'm scared, dear Shi... Am I going to be a slut?"

The European girl on the bed was clutching the quilt tightly, her face was flushed, and her eyes were almost watering.

"Well, you are very scared, because every beautiful woman has a devil entangled in her body, which makes you uneasy and frightened..." Shi Wenbo stroked the smooth shoulder of the other party with a smile, and looked at the other party's shyness with fascination "Only by defeating this devil can we obtain true happiness."

"Is there really a devil? I often pray..." The European girl blushed, and suddenly felt a little happy in her heart. "Is beauty also a fault?"

"It's the devil who is wrong, my dear..." As soon as Shi Wenbo exerted force, the other party's weak resistance was disintegrated, and after enjoying the shower gel presented by Shi Wenbo, the girl exuded a charming fragrance all over her body.

Cough... So an exorcism ceremony happened unstoppably. When the European girl was told that the demon in her body had died, the girl whose face was tense due to the pain actually wept with joy.

Shi Wenbo, who was smoking an after-event cigarette, held the delicate body in his arms proudly, and the appearance of a certain daughter of the Marquis of Santa Cruz appeared in his mind, as if he had forgotten Yang Wenwen's warning in the morning.
