After all, it was a bit too troublesome for her to frequently need shells and gunpowder, which was really a waste of time.

(…)

(●￣(?)￣●)

"oh!"

Song Yifeng responded, then turned around and continued to play her own game.

"So that's how it is."

"Then don't hit them!"

Nodded, the first mate responded calmly, and then possessed himself and carefully picked up the letter from the garbage dump.

If the contents are really as their Grand Admiral said, then the letter has the effect of the contract, and Grand Admiral may not care, but he, the chief lieutenant, must be kept properly and stored together.

“??”

(???.???)??????

"Why haven't you left yet? Is there anything else?"

(?ˊ????)???

"Yes!"

"Great Admiral, there is a guy outside who claims to be a British nobleman who wants to ask to see you!"

"By the way!"

"He came in several escort warships and has entered the port now."

The first mate didn't say anything, and directly told him the second thing he had to do here.

The passing merchant ship and the group of British warships that brought the handwritten letter from Fennan Siruvera were the ports that entered one after another, so he simply came to report together.

"British?"

(???.???)??????

"It seems that when I was in the Indian Ocean, I saw a lot of British people and British ships, but why did they come to find someone? They are not familiar with them!"

(?╭╮?)

As he said that, Annie directly made a face, looking reluctant.

"Forget it! Let them come in!"

(￢д￢.)

Although I felt a little disgusted, I thought I was really full and had enough food and drink, and I was still idle for the time being, so Anne planned to go and see what the British people wanted to do when they came to her?

...

"Hello!"

"Dear Admiral of the Li family fleet!"

"I am Sir James Clifford, the Fleet Admiral of the British Navy's Private Fleet, and I'm glad to meet Your Excellency."

Soon, a young monster uncle who claimed to be the British naval admiral and in a military uniform walked in with a group of people, and took off his hat and bowed to Anne who was sitting on the chair politely.

It is obvious that before coming, the other party must have done relevant homework and knew what kind of person the Admiral of the Li family fleet in Sofara was. Therefore, after seeing Anne sitting in the main seat, he was not surprised, but just said with a smile in his own language.

"Tell me!"

?(ψ｀▽′)o

"What do you want to do when you are here today?"

|???ω??)??

However, what surprised the other party was that Anne asked in her speech without waiting for the translation brought by the other party.

To be honest, Annie really hopes that the other party will come to cause trouble or declare war, because in that case, she seems to be able to detain the other party's escort ships in a noble manner and not take them off! At that time, maybe she won't have to worry about finding a way for the escort fleets in Africa and India.

"ah!"

"Are you British?"

"Sorry, I don't mean anything else. I'm just a little surprised by your fluent English accent..."

Clifford was indeed a little shocked, and subconsciously thought that the blonde little girl in front of him was from their British country.

If that was true, maybe the task they came to today would become easier?

"no!"

(?~?)

"Speak quickly! What do you want to do? If you don't say anything, you can leave now."

o(*'　〼')o

Annie was a little impatient and spoke up and urged her.

You know, in the past, she was ready to take a nap after eating and drinking, so where would she have time to receive these inexplicable hard-working guys?

"this……"

Seeing Anne denied and said nothing, she planned to drive people away without saying a few words. Looking at Anne's face, Clifford hesitated for a moment, but in the end he had to express his general intention of visiting them with some embarrassment:

“That’s how it is.”

"We have heard that you and your fleet drove away the Spanish entrenched in West Africa, Gianlonime de Espinosa, and had completely occupied this place, am I right?"

"To be honest, we have been fighting against the Spaniards and have always wanted to enter Africa."

"But we didn't expect that they would be defeated by you and your powerful fleet so quickly..."

Thinking of the exaggerated giant warships I saw at the port, Clifford's eyelids couldn't help but hopped, and at the same time, he felt a little scared for the huge empire in the Far East. But when he thought of the rumors that the empire seemed to have had civil strife, he felt a little better, and then continued to say:

"His Excellency the Great Admiral!"

"We have discovered that you and your fleet came from the far east, with only five large ships. There must be some shortcomings in personnel and armed forces, and there is no way to easily occupy the vast West Africa, let alone expand inland."

"so……"

"I wonder if you are willing to cooperate with us in the UK and give us the trade and management rights of this place to us?"

Then, Clifford wanted to tell him one of his plans and ideas.

For example, the taxation and other work of port merchants and ships is governed by them in the UK. Then, they can continue to inherit the gold, gems and slave trades of the Espinosha Chamber of Commerce, and then the profits obtained by him and his Clifford Army can give them a small part to the Li Chamber of Commerce for free, just as it is paid for the management rights of Africa, especially West Africa?

“…”

(*ˉ?ˉ*;)

After a while, when Anne gradually became a little impatient when she heard that something was going on.

"Uncle, you still don't need to say anything more!"

?(ψ｀▽′)o

"In West Africa, a servant of someone, the fat man from India, will send someone to take over immediately. He has a lot of people and wears a lot. If you just plan to say that, you can go back now."

?(?′0`?)?

"Because, people are not familiar with you at all, so they will definitely not agree!"

(????-)?

He beat him first, then waved his hand impatiently, and Annie signaled that the strange uncles in front of him could get out of here.

If she doesn't leave, maybe she will snatch their ship as soon as she gets angry?

In fact, their ships were just medium-sized frigates. If they were to the first-class or second-class battleship under the command of the uncle named Bergstone in Nanyang last time, she might have ordered it to rob it.

"ah!?"

"you……"

"You have already made arrangements for West Africa?"

"Did the Li Family Chamber of Commerce also have a strong power in India?"

"That's a pity..."

India and Africa are not far away. Clifford obviously knew it, but he never thought that the other party actually had power in India, which really caught him off guard and never expected it.

This information ambiguous made him feel a little embarrassed and his face began to change.

Because he knew that if the little girl had not lie, then the proposals he had just made, those preconceived, thought that the other party would have to surrender to them because they did not have enough manpower and because the Ming Empire was too greedy and made them take it for them to get a big advantage for free. That would be too ridiculous and a little bit ridiculous.

"That……"

"Or hope you will consider the proposal you just now?"

"I'll say goodbye first."

He hesitated for a while and felt that it would be meaningless to continue staying there, so Clifford was not long-winded, but just had a dark face, a little annoyed, and simply said goodbye and gritted his teeth and left.

"Hello!"
