60, the fatal temptation of Swedish shipbuilding technology

No matter how Leo pleaded with love, Scott just refused: "Okay, don't persuade me anymore, you can send him away!"

Forced to have no choice but to turn around and leave.

In about ten minutes, Scott came again, and brought Andrew the Norwegian pirate.

Looking at Leo, Scott felt unhappy, but he still smiled and said, "Leo, didn't I ask you to take Andrew around the Norfolk area? Why did you bring him?"

Before Leo could speak, Andrew took the lead and said: "Great Earl Master, I heard that you Norfolk have been introducing a large number of talents recently. I wonder if this matter is true or false?"

"Of course it's true." Scotty replied.

Andrew said anxiously: "Since it is true, why don't you accept me? Can't my conditions still attract your attention? I personally think that my conditions are much better than those fishermen in the Netherlands!"

Taking a deep breath, Scott said lukewarmly: "Since you have already said it, I won't hide it. To be honest, your conditions are indeed enough to join Norfolk, but I really don't want to offend the Kingdom of Denmark because of you! After all, we have a good relationship with the Kingdom of Denmark recently."

Seeing Scott saying so hard, Leo was a little worried about his face, and he kept whispering to Scott. The meaning was very clear, as if he was saying: The Count gave some room to maneuver, don't say too much, is it okay?

Unable tolerate Leo's gaze, Scott finally could only add: "Of course, if you have other conditions, then I can consider making an exception for you at my discretion, but your current conditions are really not worth my risk for you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Andrew's originally dusty face suddenly shone again: "Of course I have other conditions. I have many people under my command from the Kingdom of Denmark. These Danes have been in the Royal Danish Navy for a few years, so they are very proficient in the shipbuilding technology of the Kingdom of Denmark and the shipbuilding technology of the Kingdom of Sweden. If the Earl is willing to shelter us, then Norfolk will be able to produce the most advanced warships in the Nordic region soon!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Scott was completely uneasy.

In Nordic regions, if anyone has the most developed shipbuilding technology, it is undoubtedly the Netherlands and the Kingdom of Sweden.

However, most of the ships produced in the Netherlands are civilian ships, such as fishing boats, merchant ships, etc.

The Kingdom of Sweden is not only proficient in the manufacturing of fishing boats and merchant ships, but also particularly proficient in the manufacturing of warships and ocean-going ships.

For example, most of the ships of the Navy in the Kingdom of Denmark were made in the Kingdom of Sweden, and the Kingdom of Denmark dominated the Nordic and even the Baltic regions with this navy.

Now that Andrew's men are able to build such a ship, this is undoubtedly a fatal temptation for Scott.

After all, it is the eve of the great geographical discovery. If a country wants to achieve revival and strong, it must take the big discovery of this ride-sharing in the ground.

So how to ride this ride? The most direct and rough way is to create as many ocean-going ships as possible, and then use these ocean-going ships to communicate with the world, and then control the entire world.

Looking at the ships made by various countries, only Portugal on the Iberian Peninsula, the Venetian Republic in the Mediterranean, and the Swedish Kingdom in the Nordic region have the technology to make ocean-going ships. The Kingdom of Gran is not among these countries.

Scott had also been worried about the manufacturing technology of ocean-going ships, but this technology is a state secret and is almost difficult to obtain. Now that there is such an opportunity to touch this technology, Scott was really excited and contradictory.

After struggling for a long time, Scott gritted his teeth and replied: "Okay, you can join the Norfolk area, I will provide you with shelter, but in return, you must be loyal to the Norfolk area, otherwise..."

"Please rest assured that since we have joined the Norfolk area, we have already planned to stay here for a long time. Even if you drive us away, we will not leave!" At this point Andrew scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly:

"After all, we have been hunted down by the entire Denmark region, and almost no country is willing to take us in. Now you are willing to take us in. We are too happy, so how could we leave!"

Waving his hand, Scott said, "Okay, bring your people to Norfolk as soon as possible, and then adjust them in the Norfolk area recently. As for what to do in the future, you will be able to obey my orders at that time."

"Yes, Earl!" Andrew quickly agreed.

He ordered someone to take Andrew down for a rest. Scott called Leo: "What's going on? Brother, you are so indifferent to people. Why do you seem to be very concerned about Andrew today! You seem to be afraid that I will not take him in, right?"

Leo smiled awkwardly: "Where is it!"

He stood up and kicked him, Scott smiled and said, "We two have grown up together. Do I still know your character and actions? When you lie, you like to smile awkwardly, and you also like to beat the ground with your feet. Now you are in this state, so you must have something to hide from me! What's the matter? Come on the truth quickly?"

"Okay, okay, I still can't hide it from you! But you can't scold me after I tell you!" Sighing helplessly, Leo replied: "I like his sister!"

"Oh! Andrew's sister?" Scott opened his mouth wide in surprise: "How did you know his sister?"

Leo said uneasyly: "Then this matter starts with me leaving the Netherlands!"

"After the Duke of Burgundy Philip III closed the port in the Netherlands, I left the Netherlands. I planned to come back, but I thought I had plenty of time, so I wanted to take this opportunity to go to Copenhagen, the capital of the Kingdom of Denmark!"

"We had just arrived at the port of Copenhagen. At this time, a girl covered in blood was chased and hid on my boat, and she kept urging me to drive the boat..."

"So that's how you met? Then you fell in love with her?" Scott listened incredible.

"Yes, this may be a love arranged by God for me! Anyway, the two of us fell in love soon." Leo was shy when he said this.
