Chapter 48 Jigsaw Puzzle
After the ship was settled, Mu soon found that there were not a few people who had the same idea as him.

That night, most of the officers on the ship, including him, Climdrie, and Captain Orr, took Jim the navigator to a nearby tavern in a semi-forced manner.

Jim, who was half-invited, half-kidnapped and forcibly taken to the tavern, couldn't help but smile wryly after sitting down, "Why do you drag me, a middle-aged man, out for a drink this late at night?"

As he spoke, he just wanted to take a sip of beer from his glass, when he found that the glass in front of him suddenly activated by itself, slid out along the table, and landed on Mu's hand, who was farthest from him on the opposite side of the table.

Needless to say, it must be the masterpiece of Mu Huaili's little Lalu Lasi - mind control, the basic use of superpowers.

"Let's explain everything that can be explained, otherwise don't drink this wine."

Mu held Jim's wine glass with one hand, and said with a smile.

At the same time, he picked up his glass and took a sip of butterbeer - a creamy drink that was actually non-alcoholic.

Sitting in Mu's arms, the little Lalulas yelled "Yaya" and stretched out her hand to Jim's wine glass on the table, which meant that she wanted to drink too.

Mu had to stick out a finger and shake it in front of her, telling her that you can't drink this.

"Woooo..."

The little guy whimpered pitifully, looked up at Mu, clasped his hands in front of his chest, his eyes were full of begging.

For a moment, Mu was shamefully attracted to this little guy.

"I really can't do anything about you. Didn't I just give you something to eat before I came out?"

Although he complained so much, Mu still honestly took out the small feeding bottle he carried with him, waved to the waiter, ordered a glass of fresh milk in a large milk jug, took it, poured it into the feeding bottle and handed it to the little guy.

When you are away from home, naturally you can no longer prepare fruit milk as luxuriously as at home, but fortunately, the fresh milk produced in the big milk tank is also very popular.

"Ya Ya~"

After getting the bottle, Lalu Lasi lay in Mu's arms and cried happily, shaking her head from side to side, and kept rubbing the rounded corners of the back of her head against Mu's chest, making Mu's heart numb.

Seeing that everyone had drinks, even Lalu Lasi picked up a baby bottle that was one size smaller. Jim, who couldn't get anything in his hands, grabbed it twice in embarrassment, and said helplessly, "If you don't know anything, you should ask the captain?"

Klimdori said coldly: "That guy has been out of his mind every day recently, and he refuses to say anything when asked."

Neither did Jim.

He stared at his full glass of beer not far away for a long time, but in the end he still didn't intend to challenge the control of Lalu Lasi's thoughts.

"Hey, well, there is indeed a piece of news circulating within the fleet recently."

Seeing that he finally spoke, everyone at the table put down their glasses and looked over.

Sure enough, the navigators who are directly responsible for the fleet headquarters are better informed than ordinary officers like them.

The previous battle really confused them too much. Although the final result of sinking an enemy legendary warship was very cool and refreshing, there were still too many doubts on everyone's minds that they couldn't let go of—

Why did the navy of Gardenia Kingdom suddenly pretend to be pirates and come over to demonstrate?

Why did the Grand Duke react so coldly, completely sitting back and watching the enemy's provocation?

Why was Siegfried so angry when he first saw the enemy?
The answers to these questions seem to be finally coming to Jim.

Just at the beginning, Jim first said a seemingly irrelevant opening sentence.

"Do you know that the route from Jiamaitu to the northeast landing point of the New World has been given priority to the expeditionary force so far?"

Everyone nodded, but to be honest, they still didn't understand what Jim was trying to say.

Jim smiled tiredly, "The expeditionary forces of the Three Kingdoms set out from this area to the landing point in the eastern part of the New World, where they have fought against the Aloha Empire for more than 20 years.

That's 20 years...

Now both sides gradually understand that even if this battle continues, there will be no results. The three kingdoms are unable to destroy the ancient civilization on the new continent. Similarly, Aloha has no ability to drive the expeditionary army away once and for all. "

While talking, Jim bribed Lalulas with a seedless tree fruit, and finally got back his wine glass.

After taking a big sip, he continued: "Therefore, there have been cryptic news from the upper echelons of the fleet, and the two sides will have peace talks next.

Although the conclusion of the truce has not yet been determined, the conditions handed over by Aloha are almost irresistible to the three kingdoms. They will recognize the sovereignty of the three kingdoms over the occupied areas and agree to open the trading ports. "

The Aloha Empire on the New World is very powerful, and once overturned Mu's stereotype of an ancient civilization in the age of great voyages.

In fact, they did not receive much loss in the war of more than 20 years. Most of the territory seized by the three kingdoms came from the small subsidiary countries around them.

Under such circumstances, they are still willing to hand over such conditions, and the Three Kingdoms really have no reason to refuse.

However, everyone still didn't quite understand what Jim wanted to say.

"So? Will the peace talks have any impact?"

Jim took another sip of wine, and said: "The impact will be huge! Once the war on the east coast of the New World stops, the current route directly to the Aloha Empire is destined to be out of the control of the military, and it will become the most popular maritime trade route in the next few decades. No one will be envious of this trade route!
More importantly, once the war with Aloha is over, there is no longer any need for the three kingdoms to unite. "

Now, everyone finally realized something.

Orr's deputy, the very irritable member of the warrior team, slapped the table, and was the first to jump up and cursed: "Steamer! Those turtles in the Gardenia Kingdom want to eat alone?!"

Although it was someone else who spoke first, after sorting out the context, Mu thought more and further than everyone at the table.

Because he is a time traveler, from the perspective of someone who has experienced it, he understands the context of the times and the process of history better than anyone in this world!

Originally, this world was slightly divergent from the age of great exploration he was familiar with. The main reason was that the three kingdoms of this world encountered an evenly matched and difficult opponent in the process of exploring the world.

This opponent made them unable to restrain each other after a full century of the Age of Discovery. They must be closely allied and united in order to protect their overall interests on the east coast of the New World, and not be driven back into the sea by the ancient civilization there.

However, by now, this venerable opponent has finally given in.

Then, everything will eventually return to the right track of history that Mu is familiar with!
At this moment, he seems to have seen the naval battle between iron and fire, the battle for supremacy of the maritime dynasty, the roar of naval guns and the roar of elves echoing in the stormy waves——

And finally, a victorious empire on which the sun never sets rises against the rising sun on the sea covered with shipwrecks after the war!

The war on land is over—

But the war at sea is just about to begin!
The struggle for sea power and hegemony is destined to become the most exciting theme in the next century!
However, at this moment, Klimdori, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, like a basin of cold water being poured down, which instantly made the jumping warrior team deputy sit down resentfully, and at the same time extinguished the blood that had just ignited in Mu's heart.

"Some people don't want to fight for this sea trade route, do they?"

Her words were like the last piece of the puzzle, putting all the previous events together.

Why did the Duke of Courbeille react so coldly to the almost blatant provocation of the Gardenia Kingdom?

Because as an inland fief nobleman, he didn't care about the kingdom's maritime interests at all.

Why has Siegfried been so withdrawn these days, and why was he so angry during the war?
Because for a fighter, the saddest thing is that you still want to fight, but someone behind you has surrendered first...
