Chapter 552

"Dear chief, as you know, I am now in charge of the military defense of Detroit fortress and the other four fortresses. I came here to ask you this time that your army will not attack my fortress, will it?" After drinking a cup of tea and smoking a cigarette, Colonel Auston thought that he had a close relationship with the burly man, so he carefully asked the question that had been in his heart for a long time.

The stone bear who asked this question was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"That's a very interesting question, Alvin." In the chat just now, after Shi Xiong asked a few questions, he got some details about this guy's family.

Obviously, although this guy is a British Army colonel, he really has no military talent. He can climb to such a high position at such a young age mainly because of his family.

To paraphrase a popular saying of later generations, what this guy is special about is the second generation of rich people and the second generation of officials.

It doesn't matter whether you have the ability or not, as long as your father is powerful!

Of course, this Colonel Auston is not without skills, but his skills are mostly reflected in business, rather than military and political aspects.

And his question directly reflects his ignorance in politics and military affairs.

Looking at Auston's confused look, the stone bear continued to smile: "we are friends, right?"

Auston took a long breath and nodded with certainty.

"Are we Cherokees good friends with you in England?"

Oston continued to nod.

"Then it's over? Since we are friends, the relationship between my tribe and your country has been very good, then why should I kill you? You didn't offend me. Besides, if I really want to kill you, I'm afraid your military fortresses would have been leveled by my soldiers before the winter of last year. Do you think you can still sit here with me and drink tea and smoke? "

"This... This is also ah... Ha ha..." Auston chuckled twice.

The stone bear leaned slightly, his face suddenly became serious, "and, with the strength of our tribe and the relationship with your country, even if I really killed you, do you think your country will come out for you? Don't forget that the colonists' insurrection alone has already left your king in a mess. "

Auston shivered with fright, and his face turned ugly.

The stone bear laughs again. It's really interesting to tease this guy.

Only then did Colonel Osten realize that they were teasing themselves

"I said Alvin, I want to ask a question about you." Stone bear suddenly changed the topic. But the joke just made Colonel Osten realize that this powerful chief would not do anything to himself.

So, in a short period of time, he also let go.

"Your Highness, if you have anything, please ask. As long as I know, I will tell you the truth. "

"Well, I'd like to ask, now that the fighting in the East is so busy, do you want to go to the east to earn military merit, or do you want to stay here and continue to engage in your family's fur trade?"

There was a look of hesitation on Auston's face, but he just hesitated for a moment, and then said with certainty: "I think it's better for me to stay here. After all, I don't like fighting too much, and I don't need military merit to add anything to me."

Auston hesitated again. "It's just that in the current situation, I can't make the decision. On the eastern battlefield, it seems that our British Empire is not very dominant... "

The stone bear clapped his hand happily and said, "if you really have this idea, I can help you."

"Why help me?"

"Ha ha, if I think you are a good person, I want to cooperate with you... Well, or I want to cooperate with the family behind you, do you believe it?"

Auston thought, "chief, do you mean cooperation in business?"

"Yes, I just want to do business with your family. And I can guarantee that even if something unexpected happens in the future, I will guarantee your safety, and I will guarantee the safety of your family's business in the new world. "

After a pause, the stone bear continued to explain: "I used to cooperate with your country through Colonel James Jones. But now James has left the new world to return home, and I still lack a reliable partner on your side. And James's own strength is not strong enough, I also want to find a partner with enough strength. "

Stone bear's words brightened Auston's eyes. He couldn't wait to ask, "chief, do you mean you are cooperating with our family to carry out trade in Europe?"

"Yes, you should know about the refined salt and cigarettes that have been popular for more than ten years? It's all my industry. The promotion of James is not so beneficial. I need a more suitable partner. In addition, there are many things that you rarely see in the European continent. I need to find a partner with enough strength to cooperate. Well, the Fernando family in the kingdom of Spain was my partner seven or eight years ago, but now I want to find more partners. I hate the French, so I don't want to work with them now. What do you think of my proposal? "

"Of course! Dear chief, it's an honor for our family that you can find our family for cooperation! And I can assure you that if we really cooperate, our family will use all its strength to protect our cooperation! " Auston's business acumen and sensitivity immediately made him give him another flattery, a heavy promise.

Over the past ten years, refined salt, cigarettes, edible oil, even a small amount of steel and cement from the new world were very popular in the colonies and in the mainland. Well, it's not enough to describe it as a best seller. If anyone can get these things and sell them backhand, it will be a huge profit!

Auston of the Fernando family in the kingdom of Spain also knows that he knows very well how much money that family has made in recent years by acting as an agent for cigarettes, refined salt and weapons in the kingdom of Spain. Now even the king of Spain regards the fat patriarch of the Fernando family as a right-hand man, and the prestige and strength of the Fernando family, Now in the whole kingdom of Spain, it is among the top small families.

However, only the Fernando family can get the things that came out of the indigenous tribes in the new world. Well, it seems that there is a new nobleman who is engaged in textile and textile machinery. In addition to the two, if other people want to get these good things, they have to buy them.

If his family can cooperate with the powerful chief, the strength of the family will be greatly improved. The third son, who could not compete for his father's title as Earl, was more than 90% likely to become the next Earl of Auston!

The family will never miss this opportunity!
