The situation in the Netherlands is not optimistic. Although the Spanish Invincible Fleet was destroyed by England, it is still a huge monster, and it is still invincible in Europe whether on land or on sea.

If the Netherlands wants to be independent, they must break free from Spain's control. If their own strength is limited, external forces are a choice.

Odsos drank tea and exclaimed, "I just like your tea. All kinds of flavors, especially the art of making tea, have developed to the extreme. It is an enviable and profound culture..."

Gong Yonggu put down the tea cup and said, "Our tea has entered the Tao, and we will not be able to taste the true meaning in just a few days."

Odsos looked at Gong Yonggu and smiled and said, "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have bought so much tea."

The orders placed by Odsos to the Ming Dynasty were very complicated, covering all aspects, but they did not involve huge profits such as firearms, weapons, and ships, but the amount was as high as three million silver. It was obviously not his own order.

Gong Yonggu smiled and didn't say anything.

Logically speaking, the Netherlands and the Ottomans have common enemies and should be easier to cooperate, but it covers complex reasons such as religion and geography, which makes them unable to cooperate directly.

Moreover, the enemies the Ottomans faced were Russia, which was increasingly powerful and had strong territory behind them.

Therefore, Ottoman hopes to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty to relieve the pressure of being attacked on both sides.

Therefore, Odsos proposed to the Ming Dynasty and Ottoman to establish a "tripartite intelligence alliance" to share intelligence and cooperate in some areas, especially maritime trade.

Although the Ottoman paid the most attention to the road, he didn't want to let it go at sea. Therefore, he hit it off and waited for the Ming Dynasty.

Although the power of the European continent is gradually becoming clear, it is still in chaos at the moment.

The Hasburg dynasty represented by Spain is still extremely powerful. Frank is struggling to survive. England is alone and protects itself. The Roman Empire is in name only. There are many alliances in small cities and confederates such as the Netherlands, and survive in a crack.

Therefore, the Netherlands' cooperation list is extremely limited and its strategy is clear, and it is very good at getting along with each other and attacking each other!

Odsos looked at Gong Yonggu's expression, smiled and picked up the teacup.

The Netherlands struggled hard in Europe, with Spain pressing on the head on the sea, and now faced competition from the powerful Ming Dynasty. The Netherlands has been driven out of the Ming Dynasty's coast, and can see the increasing number of Ming Dynasty merchant ships in more places, and they are under greater pressure.

The two of them were silent for a while. Odsos couldn't hold on and said, "I think the cooperation between our two countries is not only trade, but also intelligence cooperation. The world is so big, and we face too many threats. I hope that our two countries can work together to get the maximum benefits..."

Gong Yonggu looked at Odsos with deep eyes and said, "Are you referring to the United Fleet?"

"No, I'm talking about merchant ships. We can form a joint caravan to explore the world together and deal with potential or known enemies." Odsos looked at Gong Yonggu and said calmly and firmly.

The Netherlands is not the future of the sea coachman, and its fleet is limited and can only survive in the cracks of Spain, Portugal and other places. It is very weak and needs shelter.

Faced with Spain, which was allied with the Ming Dynasty, he was blocked from both ends and needed to break the deadlock.

Gong Yonggu's face showed a strange look. This was the first time he heard this, and he couldn't help but say: "I need to understand your country's specific ideas and report to you."

Odsos knew that the Ming Dynasty had just entered overseas and needed cooperation. He looked calm and confident, and slowly spoke his thoughts.

The purpose of the Netherlands is very simple. It is not only because of huge profits in dealing with the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty's fleet is strong, with a large population, and its potential is unimaginable. If it can unite to explore and colonize outside, it will not only increase its strength, be safe and secure, avoid Spain's suppression, but also break the current dilemma, so as to make the Ming Dynasty neutral in European affairs to the greatest extent, and will not support Spain in suppressing the Netherlands and strive for more conditions for the Netherlands' independence.

Gong Yonggu listened to Odsos's words and thoughtful, without nodding or shaking his head.

The purpose of the Netherlands is to try to weaken Spain and make the most profits.

What he proposed seemed to be a commercial cooperation, but in fact it was another form of "alliance", especially the "tripartite intelligence alliance", which was even more unusual.

Gong Yonggu came out of Odsos, turned around and wrote a letter to report to Sun Chuanting, who was still in Yingtian Prefecture.

At this time, the harbor at night was not quiet. The huge lanterns were everywhere, hanging all over the harbor, shining brightly, and it was particularly conspicuous in the darkness.

The workers were back and forth, cars were coming and going, and the shouts were still there, busy and busy.

On a boat building not far from the harbor, two Europeans were wearing pajamas, holding goblets, looking at the harbor, chatting.

Female: "Dear, it was the first time I saw such a busy harbor, which was never stopped all day and night. In Europe, there was no one that could compare to it. It was amazing."

Man: "Not only Europe, but the whole world is incomparable. Did you see that boat? It was full of porcelain, a boat worth millions. European nobles liked these porcelain very much..."

Female: "Of course, I have a lot of them at home. These porcelains are very exquisite and can't let go of them... By the way, the wine glasses in my hand are made by them, which are much better than our original wine vessels..."

Man: "The value of this port in and out of at least 50 million silver or 50 million yuan in a year is really enviable..."

Female: "I heard that if you want to trade, you can only use their currency? We have to exchange gold and silver for their currency first?"

Man: "There is no way. The Ming Dynasty had an advantage in trade. We all have to listen to them. Besides, we can exchange it back later. This is their monetary policy, which is quite interesting means of protection..."

Female: "Dear, what about you, what's your purpose for this time? Is it their artillery and warship?"

Man: "No, my goal is to build a relationship with the Ming Dynasty, a relationship that is sustainable and powerful, can bring huge profits to England and is not threatening. I think I will find a way soon."

Female: "What's the solution?"

Male: "They have an isolated emotion, which permeates the entire Ming Dynasty. As long as they do not threaten them and give them what they need, they will not interfere with the outside world... The so-called Celestial Kingdom, they have pride, yes, pride, and interesting things."

Female: "Oh..."

They chatted in the sea breeze, and those passing by would occasionally look up and secretly despise these shameless Westerners.

At the same time, they all knew that the envoy of England lived here, who had just arrived from the capital.

This night was destined to be busy, and senior executives of the Royal Trade Group represented by Wei Liangqing, He Yunshan, Xiao Yong and others were also busy meeting all kinds of people.
