I am surrounded by beauties in the Gods and Demons Game Center

After a fierce battle, the Neon Empire Navy was completely wiped out, and the side led by Liu Rengui also suffered heavy losses. Twenty-four privateering warships sank into the sea, and another twelve were seriously damaged.

It is not difficult to see from this battle that privateers are completely at a disadvantage compared to regular warships in orthodox naval battles.

In comparison, only twelve regular warships under Liu Rengui's control were seriously damaged.

Liu Rengui's next move left everyone dumbfounded.

He resolutely led the fleet into the port of Imana for repairs. Surprisingly, the enemy stationed in the port of Imana - the Kingdom Restoration Army - had no intention of resisting at all.

Not only did they not step forward to stop it, but because they were worried that the news would leak out and lead to criticism from the Neon Empire, they took the initiative to help cover up the fact that Liu Rengui's fleet was resting again.

Liu Rengui dared to do so, because the people of Yimana Port had already suffered a lot from the Neon Empire, and the so-called Kingdom Restoration Army was nothing more than a paper tiger in name only, majestic on the surface but vulnerable in reality.

After the war, Liu Rengui still did not forget that winning the hearts and minds of the people was the most important thing. He said frankly that he was not afraid of the Japanese Empire's naval warships. Instead, his only worry was the increasing number of the Empire's privateering warships.

After this war, the Neon Empire's original warship building plan underwent earth-shaking changes.

They actually abandoned the traditional manufacturing concept of regular warships and instead devoted all their efforts to the production of privateer warships.

At the same time, the Northern Empire also closely cooperated with Liu Rengui's actions. They strongly condemned the Neon Empire's behavior of building a cost-effective privateering fleet with an indignant attitude, and solemnly warned that if the Neon Empire continued such threatening behavior, they would have to consider taking military intervention measures.

Amidst the condemnation and protests, the Neon Empire gradually lost its direction, mistakenly believing that it was on a smooth road.

The Neon Empire's shipbuilding machines were spinning at high speed, and it began to mass-produce privateer warships. These warships themselves could also be converted from merchant ships, which made the Neon Empire's shipbuilding speed extremely fast.

However, they are unaware that they are like walking on a tightrope with their eyes blindfolded. If they are not careful, they will fall into the abyss and be doomed.

As a large number of privateering warships were launched by the Neon Empire, Liu Rengui timely reduced the looting of Port Bolant, as if he was really beginning to give up this looting route out of fear.

When the privateers of the Neon Empire Navy regained control of the routes to Port Bolant, the regular warships that the empire had originally built at great expense began to become useless and a pity to abandon.

Liu Rengui suggested waiting for a while and waiting until the Neon Empire Navy starts to want to sell it before finding someone to buy it.

During this period, Liu Rengui once again pretended that even the route to the Port of Imana could not be plundered for a long time, and then turned south to attack the Andaman Port in the second world.

To be honest, Andaman Port is still friendly to Zhang Wei, especially since Zhang Wei has established a trade route with 12 merchant ships. However, when Liu Rengui wrote to the emperor, he clearly supported that if he wanted to eat up the regular warships of the Neon Empire, he needed people from the Second World to buy them as a third party.

However, if it is not their own people who do this, it is very likely to backfire and help the Neon Empire establish a trade route with Andaman Port, and even enable the Neon Empire to continue to open up trade routes to the Second World.

After all, the benefits are real.

Therefore, Zhang Wei agreed to Liu Rengui's plan and authorized Liu Rengui to handle the affairs of the second world with full authority. Zhang Wei still adhered to the principle of not employing people if he doubted them, and trusting people when he employed them.

After getting Zhang Wei's consent, Liu Rengui didn't waste any time and directly spent a large amount of money to hold a banquet in Andaman Port.

Liu Rengui not only invited the dignitaries from Andaman Port, but also the dignitaries from Canterbury City on the same island.

Because Zhang Wei brought huge wealth to these dignitaries, Liu Rengui, as Zhang Wei's full-power representative, naturally had a high status and position. The dignitaries flocked to attend this banquet with a limited number of people, and some were even willing to pay a large sum of money to buy an invitation.

It’s a pity that Liu Rengui’s banquet this time was the Hongmen Banquet, and the people he invited were all targeted.

In the middle of the banquet, Liu Rengui gave a speech. The content was very simple. Zhang Wei's party would take over the ruling power of Andaman Port. They kindly gave the nobles of Andaman Port present three choices:

One is to die bravely.

When the nobles heard this choice, some of the timid ones almost fainted.

The second is to leave the Andaman port with personal property.

After hearing this, some nobles turned pale. Everyone knows that once you become rootless, you will end up with nothing sooner or later.

Third, if one surrenders to Zhang Wei, not only can one retain personal property, but if one is willing to become a helot, then one level will be upgraded at least on the existing basis.

Seeing that some nobles looked confused, Liu Rengui used the official position of Andaman Port as an example:

Simply put, if a person is a section officer and then joins the Helots after surrendering, he can be promoted to deputy section officer.

If his deputy section chief did not become a helot, he would have to give up his position to the section clerk and he himself would be demoted to a section clerk.

After Liu Rengui gave the example, the port chief officer asked directly, since he was already the highest position, what would be the benefit of joining the Helots? If the adjutant joined the Helots, what would the two chief officers do?

The chief officer's question made the Andaman nobles present look sideways. They did not expect that the chief officer in the highest position would choose to surrender.

Liu Rengui smiled and said directly that they had also thought of this situation, that is, the salary of the chief officer would continue to increase, and even the dividend ratio could be increased. As for the adjutant, he could choose to go to other ports to serve as the chief officer, or he could consider not being promoted, but having the salary increased by two positions.

Simply put, when both the chief officer and the adjutant want to be promoted, the adjutant will go to other ports to serve as an official. Anyway, when the adjutant wants to be promoted, there is a high probability that he will not be able to stay in Andaman Port.

If the chief officer wants a position and the deputy officer wants treatment, then it would be better to continue to maintain the current situation.

At this time, the chief officer of Andaman asked again, if Zhang Wei's side were to be recruited in this way, it would obviously be a loss, so why do they still do this?

Liu Rengui’s reply was that Zhang Wei was an emperor with the world in his mind, and his great cause was so great that he didn’t care about such petty gains at all. Moreover, Zhang Wei was not limited to the cities founded by the goddesses, so there would be a lot of positions in the future, and it would depend on whether everyone had the ability to fight for them.

After Liu Rengui finished speaking, he gave them five minutes to think about it. They would do what they said and would never go back on their word.

The nobles of Andaman Port immediately began to discuss in low voices in groups of three or five.
