Chapter 379 Temptation 2

In fact, Lawrence's madness in Gem Harbor was completely within the plan.

The United Kingdom is so big that it is impossible not to be prepared.

In the past, a few small merchant ships could not be taken seriously, but now they are big, it is normal to be targeted.

As for the two policies on the domestic and colonial sides, they are also in line with the characteristics of this era.

Even in the mainland, the United Kingdom's caravans are wandering in the gray area.

If you want to make money, you have to bear these grievances if your country is not as strong as others.

Sanger adapted to the reaction of Gem Harbor quickly, and immediately changed his strategy decisively after losing some ships.

After several round trips to the mainland of the southern continent, Sanger, who brought back a lot of technology, quickly improved his status.

The reward from the United Kingdom Parliament allowed him to control a squadron.

For Sanger, this is a step from the front to the back, from a chess piece to a chess player.

He bought a lot of land in the New World, started to build factories, and ate the first wave of benefits.

This is the benefit of having power in your hands, and the news you get is always one step faster than others.

While others were still hesitating, Sanger's factory had already started production.

This time he came back, he also had several merchant ships under his command, and he went back and forth between the two countries to do business directly.

It sounds risky, it's better to do business with the United Kingdom.

However, for Sanger, the United Kingdom is not familiar at all. Doing business is to do it in a familiar way, and of course to do business in the field you are familiar with.

Don't really believe in commercial freedom. Without a strong government support, merchants are just prey in the mouths of local snakes.

So when the Jewel Port started, Sanger was under great pressure because some merchant ships belonged to him.

Even the fleet he controlled began to do private work.

However, the weak fleet, which was mainly composed of several iron-ribbed warships, could only hide and hide, just like fighting guerrillas, and did not dare to confront the colonial fleet head-on.

The continuous wars have greatly affected the business.

The colonies of the United Kingdom are both hateful and helpless. When the negotiations have not made any progress for the time being, they have to do business intermittently in a harsh environment.

It can only be said that enough profit is a demon, enough to devour everything.

Even Sanger was not scared away.

Even if the profit was a little lower, it was still a profit beyond normal business.

In the colony, all kinds of business were no different from plunder.

After accumulating a batch of initial funds, he was no longer satisfied with small-scale operations.

Coincidentally, he was familiar with outsiders like Benjamin, so he had an idea.

As the official representative of the United Kingdom, Sanger had too much advantage.

All kinds of resources to attract people were basically provided by the United Kingdom government.

For example, all kinds of beautiful women and various financial expenditures.

Benjamin and his people wanted to go home at first, but later, under the corrosion of sugar-coated bullets, some people didn't want to go back.

As Benjamin said, he would not be valued if he went back, and he would be a small person who was mediocre. How could he be happy here?

Of course, they also knew their status and knew why the white people in the United Kingdom were good to them.

Fortunately, Benjamin and others really had some skills, so they were not afraid of being abandoned.

That day, Sanger hosted a banquet for Benjamin and others as usual.

This is a public event paid for by the United Kingdom to reward their recent hard work.

"Brother Benjamin, I didn't lie to you, isn't it better to be with me than in the Northern Principality? If you have any ideas... I can arrange for someone to pick up your family." Sanger took on the responsibility and smiled at Benjamin who was drinking milk.

He used all kinds of means to deal with such people, and he was not afraid that the other party would decouple.

And he was very skillful every time he showed up, blurring himself with the United Kingdom and enjoying the gratitude of Benjamin and others.

The latter was not unaware of the tricks inside, but he occupied other people's territory, eating, drinking and having fun, so he couldn't say a few good words to them?

It was impossible to have a party every night, and Benjamin certainly didn't want to miss a few extravagant and corrupt lives every few days.

While playing with his favorite big horse, he raised his glass and toasted Sanger from a distance: "Thank you Sir Sanger, thank you United Kingdom."

Benjamin knew the current situation very well. The lively fight between the two countries had nothing to do with himself and others.

The watch here is very tight, and there will be no chance for me to escape.

Instead of taking risks, it is better to enjoy the current life.

It is just that the happiness is a little short-lived.

After a good meal and a beautiful woman in his arms, Benjamin prepared to leave as usual.

Before leaving, he went to the toilet, but when he came out, he saw Sanger blocking the door and stopping him.

A cigar was lit and handed to him, and Benjamin hesitated and took it.

There was no one else here, and he knew that Sanger must have something to say.

And it was probably a private matter.

However, considering the other party's power and the wine and meat transactions these times, he did not leave immediately.

Sure enough, the two took a few puffs silently, and Sanger suddenly said in a low voice: "Brother, I am sorry for you, tricking you to come to this place.

But the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, so don't blame me.

This is the world, and we have no choice.

Anyway, the situation is like this now, it is better to cheer up and start over.

In the United Kingdom, your skills can play a greater role.

Working for the masters of the parliament, such enjoyment as today happens twice a month.

But I think you have other choices and can live a better life. It depends on what you think, brother. "

Sanger talked a lot, and Benjamin smoked two cigars in a row before he finished listening.

To be honest, his group of people have almost no freedom, they are just pets in a cage.

After enjoying it and seeing it, how could it be possible to be willing to do it?

But it is absolutely impossible to turn over by yourself.

A government run by men has all kinds of loopholes to exploit.

On the colonial side, Sanger was a land tiger who could exploit loopholes.
