"I'm very happy to see you, General Watanabe Case, my name is Alson, and I am currently serving as the special envoy of Sam's Kingdom."

Sam Chinese in a black tuxedo took off his hat and saluted at Watanabe's case and began to introduce himself.

He looked up and looked up and down at the supreme ruler of Japan, feeling proud.

It was at his insistence that the Sam Country fleet, composed of four sailing warships, decided to use cannons to open the gates of Japan and force Japan to establish trade with Sam Country.

This is the task assigned to him by the current President of Sam Country Sullivan.

Since Sam gained independence from the British through the War of Independence.

After half a century of development, the local industry in Sam's country flourished.

In order to find new markets for the industrial products of Sam Country, Sullivan generally chose to support the strategy of eastward expansion and join the colonial tide of the West.

However, the colonies of the New World were divided up by the old European countries.

They could only go all the way east to the area of ​​Dongtu, which has not yet been colonized.

After successively occupying many islands on the eastern ocean.

They set up supply points on these islands, and then their merchant ships arrived in Japan first.

However, their contact with Japan ended in failure.

So they continued to walk eastward and contacted the Dasong Liang family.

This Dasong country, which specializes in the Dasong sea trade, starts trade with it.

However, they did not give up on the Japanese market.

Gradually losing patience, they decided to resolve the issue by force this time.

The effect was immediate, and the Japanese shogunate immediately decided to negotiate trade with him.

"This method should have been used to deal with these natives long ago." A voice sounded in Aerson's heart.

"It turned out to be Mr. Ailson." Watanabe extended his hand to signal Ailson to sit down opposite him, and asked the Japanese maid to pour Alson a cup of tea.

Because of his decades of interactions with the British, Watanabe Case learned a lot of British language from the translator when he was young.

Can understand what Aerson said.

After pausing, he said, "It's a pity to meet in this way, but after measurement, I think it should be no longer rejected for trade with Sam's country."

Aerson smiled. He just thought the Watanabe case was frightened by them and decided to accept the trade.

This is just for the sake of face.

So he did not point it out, but said, "This is really a wise decision. If that's the case, please ask the general to sign this treaty."

While saying that, he took out a document from his carry-on bag.

The Watanabe case flirted with the documents and frowned slightly.

Basically, Japan gives the British preferential treatment in trade, and Sam's country wants it.

Japan also needs to open the two ports of Shitian and Guanyong, which are specifically used for trade with Sam.

However, when we think of the precedent, there seems to be no reason to reject Sam's Kingdom.

The most important thing now is to make profits between Britain and Sam's country.

So he said, "I can promise, but you must help us build eighteen sail warships in Japan like the British."

Alson was stunned for a moment, then he nodded, "I need to go back to the battleship to discuss this matter with Major Mali."

The Watanabe case said: "It just so happened that I also need to discuss this treaty with Japanese officials."

Aerson got up, "I'll be back soon."

The Watanabe case sent Alson out of the shogunate, and first asked someone to lead Alson to visit the battleship under construction.

The officials were summoned to discuss the treaty.

But this is just a formality. In Japan, his power is as supreme as the emperor.

One hour later, Alson returned.

"Major Mali agreed to this." Ailson took out the trade treaty again, "Please sign."

After getting the result he wanted, the Watanabe case signed the treaty without any hesitation.

Now, he will make Japan powerful at all costs.

...

Leting Wharf.

The Watanabe case was when the treaty was signed with the country of Sam.

Zhou Yi returned from Jinghai, and immediately, he summoned eight thousand Marines according to Zhao Xu's order.

He led six warships, sixteen troop transport ships and eighteen supply ships, and headed towards Yizhou.

After leaving the Yanzhou sea area, it passes through the Qizhou sea area.

Looking at the transport ship behind the warship, Zhou Yi frowned.

If they have supply points along the coast, why should they carry so many supply ships?

Therefore, if the problem of supply on the route cannot be solved, Yanzhou's actions in the southern waters will be restricted.

After all, besides hunger, there is one more thing.

Staying on warships for a long time will drive the crew crazy.

It is necessary to make the crew ashore easy every once in a while.

This is also a very important issue.

"This incident in Yizhou has passed, and we must report this issue to the King of Yan." Zhou Yi said intimately.

Then he summoned the Marine Generals to discuss the matter of Marca City.

Ten days passed.

The fleet arrived in the south of Yizhou successfully.

Six sailing warships appeared near the port of Marca City, and the news immediately reached Steven's ears.

Once Fei Wen's office, Steven was lying on a chair with his feet resting on the table.

He almost fell off his chair when he heard the Franchise soldier's report.

"What did you say, the six sail warships of the King of Yan." Steven couldn't believe his ears and asked by grabbing the soldier's collar.

"Yes, Commander." The poor soldier was almost breathless.

After confirming the news, Steven's brows frowned tightly.

The Yan King warship that came to negotiate with Fei Wen had just left, and six more warships came.

He could not determine the purpose of these warships coming.

So he brought the interpreter to the port to understand their purpose.

Although this time, two sailing warships were docked at the port of Marca City.

But the number of opponent's warships is three times higher than that of them.

Even if the Francosman's skill in operating warships is definitely more mature than that of the King of Yan soldiers, he may not be able to win.

When he arrived at the port, he immediately asked the interpreter to approach the King of Yan's warship in a small boat.

In less than half an hour, the translator returned, his face pale.

Going ashore, he said to Steven:

"Commander, they ask you to surrender and release Governor Fevin at the same time, otherwise they will attack the city of Marka."

When Steven heard this, he was furious, "These lowly natives in the East dared to threaten me, and now let the noble whites tell them what war is."

After saying that, he looked at the sea, counted the number of troops transport ships, and roughly estimated the number of soldiers on the other side.

The troop transport ships like the King of Yan were similar to those of Japan. In his opinion, each ship could transport up to 500 soldiers.

And Marka City has eight thousand Franchis soldiers.

He believed that he could defeat the Yan King's army.

However, in order to avoid the warship being sunk, he ordered the warship to flee the port, meet with the other two warships, and then return to the port to wait for an opportunity to fight.
