"It's not big, it's very big." Xiao Liang corrected him: "Who is the most threatening maritime opponent to us in the next few years?"

"Zheng Zhilong's Eighteen Zhi!" Schneider replied without hesitation. In the past few days of work discussions, as long as it involves sea trade, it is almost impossible to avoid this topic. All intelligence from the General Office of the People's Republic of China on Fujian

The primary target of the collection work is also the pirate gang named "Eighteen Zhi". Although the two parties have never met, and there is no contact at all, the relevant departments have already begun to plan for the future and "Eighteen Zhi"

"Preparations were made for the conflict, and the commercial and trade department that Schneider was responsible for was also involved - the arms sales policy for Fujian was almost formulated for the "Eighteen Zhi".

"Zheng Zhilong is Liu Xiang's brother who cooked rice wine, chopped chicken heads and worshiped the master!" Yu Yao took over and said: "To put it simply, Liu Xiang is also one of the pirate leaders of the 'Eighteen Zhi'."

Schneider swallowed hard: "This means that we will soon face the threat from the 'Eighteen Zhi' head-on?"

Xiao Liang nodded and replied solemnly: "It's very possible. According to what Li Jifeng said, Liu Xiang's territory is from the west of Hong Kong to the waters near Chaozhou. So he has thousands of people at least, and he has thousands of people under his command.

It takes hundreds of ships to control such a large sea area. Even if all our armed forces are deployed, we may not be able to defeat him at sea."

"It's not necessarily that there will be a fight, right?" Schneider still has a glimmer of hope about this matter: "I thought about it. When Li Jifeng talked about Liu Xiang, he didn't feel that there was much awe in him. Maybe he and Liu Xiang

There is a personal connection with the gang."

"Having connections does not mean that he can do what he says." Yu Yao disagreed with Schneider's optimism: "Can Li Jifeng convince Liu Xiang to do something or not to do something? Even if we don't set up a stronghold at the Pearl River Estuary now, when our power grows in the future

After expanding to the coast of Guangdong, there will still be a day when he will confront Liu Xiang. After all, Li Jifeng is just a businessman. At most, he can help smooth things over in the early stages. When it comes to grabbing land and fighting for the right to survive, who will take his words seriously?

Things? Can you do it?"

Schneider shook his head slightly and had to admit that what Yu Yao said made sense.
