Rise of the Empire Total War

After several days of sailing, the Viking descendants who won the raid on Bassa Island finally arrived at the temporary port of Kuban Island. On the same day they arrived, Richard received a system prompt about the completion of the construction of the Grain Commercial Bank and the leveling of the land. .

　　 Along with the completion of the construction of the Grain Trading Company, a merchant clerk with a level of 1 also joined Richard's camp to serve him.

　　Name: Walcoma von Horowde

　　 Age: 26

　　 Merchant business: ★ (This person can only understand the simplest barter trade)

　　Features:

　　Business talent: This person showed an unusual ability to use money early on. (Business +1)

　　……

　　Walkoma von Holold is a fat man with golden curly hair. He has the most common hook nose of Germans, and his sharp eyes sparkle with shrewd light from time to time.

　　 The first system officer owned by Richard did not come to the town hall to meet His Majesty Caesar alone, but stepped into Richard's study with the Danish commander Sigurd who also arrived today.

　　 Although I don’t know if the two of them had any exchanges on the road, looking at the slightly raised corners of Wal-Koma’s mouth, one can still tell that he seems to have gained something good.

　　 "Your Majesty Caesar." The two saluted.

　　 "Well, Walcom, first of all, as the Holy Roman Emperor, I welcome you to join our camp." Richard stood up and said with a smile.

　　 "Your Majesty Caesar, it is an honor for me and my family to serve you." Walcoma said respectfully with his right hand stroking his chest.

"Very good." Richard nodded with a smile, pointed at Sigurd with a finger, and said: "Walcoma, this is Sigurd from Denmark, and is currently the only navy in the empire. general."

"Before coming here, my subordinates had communicated with General Sigurd." As Walkoma said, he took out a prepared parchment scroll from his arms, "Your Majesty, I'm from General Sigurd learned that he had seized a batch of trophies from the pirates on the island of Barcelona. Out of business interests, his subordinates wanted to use part of the trophies for foreign commercial trade."

　　 "Yes, but I don't think you know the situation in this area. How can you trade with other forces?" Richard wondered.

　　 "The subordinates have their own solutions to this problem, please rest assured." Wal-Mart said confidently.

　　 "If this is the case, then you can do it boldly, and if necessary, I will send the USS Paul Merchant Ship and the Imperial Navy to you."

　　 "Thank you for your trust, your subordinates will definitely go all out."

After talking with Walcoma for a few more words, leaving the study enthusiastically about convenience, Richard then turned his eyes to Sigurd, who was waiting for a long time, and said with a smile: "Sigurd, thank you very much. How was the result?"

"Your Majesty, our army has lived up to expectations. It successfully destroyed the pirate stronghold on Barça Island and captured 54 pirates alive, but we also killed 13 warriors." Sigurd said calmly, his tone of voice felt the slightest. There is no emotion of joy and sadness.

　　 "They are all good, God will be proud of them." Richard said, and then changed the conversation, "Sigurd, I have an idea for you and your people."

"Please say."

　　 "I want you to rewrite the legend of the Vikings in the sea of ​​shining!"

"Rewriting the legend of the Vikings?" Sigurd looked at Richard in confusion, but quickly reacted and asked with a shocked look: "You mean, let me lead the people to imitate the ancestors. Vikings……"

"Yes." Before Sigurd finished speaking, Richard interrupted him directly, clapped his palms, and said: "You can play the flag of Viking pirates, and let the Dragon Head Battleship become the ship of all merchant ships on the Sea of ​​Shining. Nightmare!"

　　 "This... is it possible to succeed with people like us?" Although Sigurd was very excited, he still had no confidence.

　　 "Why not?" Richard stood up and said earnestly like a little adult: "As long as you are willing to try, I will be sure to make this a reality."

　　Since Richard has said it all, Sigurd has no reason to continue to shirk. He imagines that he is driving the dragon head battleship across the vast ocean, sprinkling the glory of his ancestors in this world.

　　 That picture is beautiful when you think about it.

　　 "In this case, Your Majesty, your subordinates are willing to follow your arrangements."

　　 "Okay." Richard nodded in satisfaction, "You go back and rest for a few days, and I will tell you the plan later."

　　 "Then, the subordinates retire first." Sigurd said, performing a rough Nordic etiquette, and then strode out of the study.

Seeing Sigurd’s strong back, Richard slowly returned to his seat. His idea just now was just a temporary motive. According to him, only their Viking pirate descent status and the British in memory Privateer.

　　In my memory, Britain started as a privateer, and the British royal family gave the pirate a license (usually called a "private license") to have arms, allowing him to go to sea to obtain goods from other countries' merchant ships. This kind of official letter from the government or chamber of commerce is still internationally accepted.

Armed privateers from the United Kingdom were actively active in the vast Pacific Ocean, causing heavy losses to merchant ships in Spain and other countries. Even later in the decisive battle with the Spanish Invincible Fleet, most of the British forces were pirates participating in the war, which also made the Royal Navy of the British Empire. Was nicknamed the royal pirate.

　　 Richard just wants to imitate the history of the British navy~www.readwn.com~ Let the descendants of Viking pirates who have lived by sea plunder carry forward their ancestral profession, isn't it beautiful?

　　 But although he wants to imitate the British guy's approach, Richard also needs to make some changes, so that no one can know how he is connected with the pirates. Otherwise, as an earl of his place, if this incident provokes public anger, I am afraid that even King Harous will not be able to keep him.

　　 In the face of absolute strength, even if they do anything that hurts the world, it is acceptable. However, if the weaker do the same thing, they will only have the fate of being conquered by fire.

　　 Thinking about the follow-up, Richard took a piece of parchment and wrote a few words on it, then opened the system interface with his consciousness.
