Chapter 751 So Fair

Chapter 751 So fair

The port official Hasse was not surprised at all when he heard Conrad IV's problem. After all, if he didn't give French Emperor Louis IX an explanation, it would probably cause their differences of opinion.

"Yes, your Majesty, it is you. Because you own the Kingdom of Jerusalem, you also own the Kingdom of Germany, and even your father was once called a wise monarch by the Arabs. If we Cretans want safety, then you are our only choice!"

Although Louis IX saw the tacit understanding between Zhao Fubo and Conrad IV, he knew that he should never be out of this matter.

"Well, personally, God's people should have a free life. Especially I believe that His Majesty Conrad IV will be a monarch as wise as his father in the future. I think it will be no better than him to decide the future of Crete!"

Louis IX's first statement made Zhao Fubo and Conrad IV smile in their eyes when they looked at each other.

"Well, if you can really lead the Cretans to their freedom, then I will protect the people here. And we will send our powerful musket team to do this!"

In private, Zhao Fubo had already negotiated with Conrad IV to equip him with an army of 2,000 musketeers and 50 "grenade ejectors". As for other equipment, Conrad IV would purchase a considerable number of armor and pulley bows, etc., weapons that Zhao Fubo would eventually eliminate.

But in this matter, Zhao Fubo discovered that Conrad IV had good predictive skills for war. Because Conrad IV told Zhao Fubo that his new army would be 5,000 new infantrymen composed of pulley bows, short muskets, muskets, stone throwers and grenade launchers, with projectile thermal weapons as the main strike force.

This will reduce the purchase of a large number of military horses. Although this army is slow to move, Zhao Fubo knew that such an army cannot be defeated by cavalry. After all, just muskets, grenade ejectors and gunpowder bullets on stone throwers are enough to make the intensive cavalry charge suicide.

It can be said that in a sense, such an army already has all the means of attacking the new army that Teacher Martin said.

This army will also make Zhao Fubo make a small fortune. In addition to the ammunition production line sold to Conrad IV muskets, he will supply all the equipment. Especially in the future, those grenade launchers and flowering bullets on stone throwers will be long-term income.

After Conrad IV promised, Zhao Fubo felt that he didn't speak, and he didn't look like he did.

"Of course, I support His Majesty Conrad IV's actions. If necessary, our Great Song Yulin Army will provide assistance to naval firepower, if necessary!"

When the port official Hasse saw three emperors, one sentence of each person determined the future of Crete. Although he wanted to express some emotion in his heart, he only looked at the sun in the sky and knew that he had not much time left.

"Since this is the case, your emperors, please allow me to surrender!"

Since Conrad IV had already expressed his opinion at this time, he would not say more, but he still had to give the port official in front of him a final reassurance.

"Your Excellency, I have to say that you are a brave man. So, I promise you in front of the two emperors. If you really get the support of all the people of this island of Ket, then you will be the consul here!"

The port official Hasse knew that Conrad IV would not give him any certificate at this time. That was after he got this place, at least the support of the Cretans in Heraklion City.

"Of course, my noble Majesty, I will lead the Cretans to occupy this place. In the future, this will definitely be the most prosperous commercial island in the entire Mediterranean! Oh, if you allow it, I hope that pirates' slave trading activities will be banned in the future, after all, that will affect the prosperity of the entire Mediterranean commerce!"

Conrad IV nodded with satisfaction, but stopped talking. He just waved to the person in front of him who had decided to be loyal to him. The port official Hasse understood and stepped forward to kiss Conrad IV's coat of arms on the back of his hand. Then he bent down and retreated respectfully.

"I guess he'll finish his plan, this is a visionary guy!"

Looking at the back of the port official Hasse, Louis IX nodded and ignited the pipe in his hand. He believed in his heart that his approval here would be rewarded in other things in the future. After all, the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II was friends with him, and Zhao Fubo was his son-in-law.

As for who Crete belongs, he is actually not very concerned about this matter.

"What about us, what are we going to do?"

Conrad IV was still young and it was probably the first time for him to merge such a large island. I'm afraid that Zhao Fubo would not have such an idea if he hadn't given him muskets. But when Zhao Fubo agreed to supply weapons, especially after testing the power of the weapons, it can be said that he was much more courageous.

Louis IX looked at him and Zhao Fubo with a smile, knowing that this kind of backing requires more follow-up affairs between countries and international politics and struggles, which are things that both young people are not good at.

"I don't think it's a big deal. First of all, you probably have to tell the Republic of Venice that happened, and at the same time you have to show your attitude. No one can predict the outcome of the negotiations, but it's nothing more than that they get some benefits and admit it, and it's also war."

Conrad IV was not worried about the war at this moment. He believed that after his 5,000 new army equipment was completed, he would come here with half of all, and he could retreat and attack.

"war?!"

Looking at Conrad IV who was not very worried, Louis IX felt that he had the responsibility to remind him a few words. After all, he was the son of a friend, and he would be Zhao Fubo's in-laws in the future.

"Yes, but the Venetians are strong in maritime interests, so I guess it's not enough for you to have those musketeers on the ground. If you can..."

Speaking of naval battles, Conrad IV and Zhao Fubo couldn't help but feel a little disliked the ending. After all, their goal was a trade route or a transportation route. If they always wanted to fight, their original purpose would be affected.

"This...we...oh, I mean I haven't thought about it enough!"
