362 Captive
W In the end, the three parties worked together to rescue the sailors and wounded soldiers, including Barudis himself, who fell into the sea.
The scene that appeared on the dock then was a bit awkward.
Although Mardenard and Escont were the ones that defeated, they did not dare to look at Barudis at this time. Although Barudis was defeated, he sat on the ground panting like a chicken, but looked arrogant.
Gruhart and Fang Xian were sandwiched in the center on both sides. Although they had just won a big victory, they had no intention of humiliating or praising anyone.
"Cough..." Fang Xian interrupted the silence, "This, according to the Geneva Convention, you, Mr. Barudis..."
"What is the Geneva Convention?" Gruhart asked.
"Oh, by the way, this has not happened yet..." Fang Xian scratched his head, "In short, Mr. Barudis and his subordinates are victims of the war. Our army will guarantee your safety and basic human rights until we reach an agreement with your government."
Barudis looked up slightly and said half-smiling: "You are much more civilized than I thought. The way you speak reminds me of the damn Foreign Minister."
"Of course." Fang Xian shrugged, "We always fired 30 seconds after the subduction, and we never slaughtered enemies who have lost their combat effectiveness."
"Testrate with my personality." Gruhart said violently, "Admiral Fang respects all his enemies, just as he respects his friends."
Barudis smiled bitterly and stood up with his weak body: "So, am I a prisoner of war now?"
"That's about that."
"Whose battle uniform is it? It's yours?" Barudis said, glaring fiercely at Maldonard and Esconte opposite him.
Although Barudis has become a prisoner, the two American admirals still dare not make any mistakes when facing his provocation.
"It's not them." Fang Xian smiled, "You will soon arrive at your new home, a great city."
Barudis didn't say much, he knew that he didn't have much power to choose as a prisoner.
After watching Barudis be taken away, Maldonard and Escont finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, girls. He's gone." Fang Xian said with a half-taught smile.
Apparently, Maldonard and Escont performed like the ladies who were just beginning to the dance, shy and timid.
Mardenad finally spoke: "Fang. To be honest, I am more cruel than most people. But when facing Barudis... there is always a little..."
"Class inferiority." Escont gave him the last word, and he lit a cigar. He admitted this fact without any concealment, "Even if we win and even have the power to execute him, when facing that look, I clearly know that he is still him, and I am still me."
"Two, I am the boss, right?" Fang Xian shrugged awkwardly.
"Of course!" the two American governors said in unison.
Tiya and Liuko also came over, and the three parties in the past restrained each other's war, finally stood together in St. John.
"Master Maldonard, Lord Esconte." Tiya greeted the two politely.
Esconte smiled dryly and said, "No need to do this, we will be on an equal footing in the future."
Only Liu Ke was a little dissatisfied with this situation.
He knew that Fang Xian's strength was enough to kill all the invaders, but he chose to negotiate and trade.
On how to solve the problem of the New World, Yuyan and Gruhart had a disagreement in their eyes.
Gruhart is an iron-fisted faction and firmly demands to return the sea to the sea and return the land to the land. However, Yuyan believes that there is no hatred with the two bigwigs in the New World, and can be fully mutually beneficial and prospered, and make use of it.
Finally, Yuyan's wrist was still harder than Gruhart, because the boss was her uncle.
Under the threat of force and the temptation of interests, the two bigwigs finally reached an agreement with the Fang family navy. They had to contribute 50% of the share of their own ports. After all, it was better to have food than to lose their jobs. Of course, the biggest reason for their cooperation was Barudis.
The cake of "Destroy the Spanish Navy" is so big.
The Spanish Navy was like a rope, always holding the two big bosses, and they had to transfer a large part of their income to the country. After Barudis was annihilated, their status was equivalent to being promoted from governor to king.
The final outcome is that their status has increased, their territory has decreased, and the New World has formed a situation where the world is divided into three parts. At the same time, the indigenous people will obtain the original human rights, the three parties will ban the battle, and Tiya will have the right to monitor all this. Whoever crosses the line will be the huge fleet will come back to destroy whom.
Before leaving, Tiya presented the golden badge of the Inca Empire. For her, it symbolized the eternal friendship between the two sides, and for Fang Xian, it symbolized another piece of sea area to finish.
...
For a long time, Barudis was detained in the cabin of **, and the person responsible for transporting him was a separate Spanish sailboat, the main fleet of Yu Fangjia Navy, heading to another destination.
Barudis made a lot of guesses during this period.
Is he going to exile himself to the East?
Or let yourself die of rotten death on a small island in Indonesia?
Or life and death are uncertain like Espinoza.
No, no, he is a civilized person, at most he is under house arrest, and will give people the decent they deserve...
With confusion about the future, after a long time, the ship finally stopped and Barudis was allowed to leave the warehouse to log in.
Since he had not seen the light of the sky for a long time, Barudis's skin was a little pale. He walked on the deck. The dazzling sunlight forced him to squint his eyes and peek at the place with a tingling feeling.
Fortunately, he is still in Europe, with the purest European architecture on the shore, and even the air is filled with the aroma of bacon.
"Where is this?" Barudis asked the sailor who escorted him.
"Sorry, Admiral Fang prohibits us from talking to you." The sailor covered his mouth and stopped talking.
Barudis shook his head, dragged his staggering steps, and walked along the pier. He didn't move his body for a long time, and it was a bit difficult.
"Welcome to Amsterdam!" a bearded dark-haired man smiled. "This will be your new home, Mr. Barudis."
Barudis recalled the accent and looked at the man in front of him: "Kuhn?"
"It's right below." Kuhn smiled.
After a brief thought, Barudis probably wanted to ask for clues. He always looked down upon such businessmen, and they had no honor: "I heard that you have been promoted to marquis recently. Should I congratulate you?"
"That happened two months ago. It seems you've been away from the battlefield for a long time." Kuhn tidied his cuffs, "To be precise, you should call me Duke."
"How is that possible?!!" Barudis was shocked. No matter how great Kuhn made his contribution, he could not be promoted so many levels in a year. No matter how unbearable the royal family was, he was still very stingy about the title. There has been no new duke in Europe for a long time.
What's more, he's a damn businessman.
Barudis thought about it, but suddenly he was stunned, and cold sweat flowed down his back.
This kind of thing...has happened before...If some people saved a country or took over a huge territory for the country... the royal family will occasionally be awarded the titles.
"You... have you defeated Britain?" Barudis said tremblingly.
"I am a businessman and can't fight." Kuhn smiled calmly.
When ordinary people face Barudis, the three European elders, most of them will not have any momentum, let alone a Dutch?
"Is he changed...or I changed..." Barudis thought so.
The more Barudis thought about it, the more frightened he became. He didn't care about his decentness and asked hurriedly: "Dear Duke, who is my successor?"
"Oh? Are you worried that your party will sink with me?" Kuhn teased.
Facing Kuhn's provocation, Barudis finally felt a little unbearable: "The entire navy will implement my will. This navy already has its soul. Anyone who is in charge will be an invincible army!"
"I'm afraid you will be disappointed." Kuhn shook his head, "Your country, there is no navy."
Barudis stood there, his expression changed little, and he stiffened for nearly a minute.
Kuhn looked at Barudis again at this time and felt a little sympathetic: "As the last naval commander, you will be famous for the ages."
Barudis still didn't speak, his eyes were empty. Although his body began to decay, there was always something like a soul supporting him, and that soul seemed to be connected to a fleet far away in the Mediterranean.
And now, everything has disappeared.
"You need to rest." Kuhn seemed to have lost interest in Barudis, and turned sideways to lead a girl, "Fang specifically explained that your diet and daily life here will be responsible for my niece, Lilu."
Lilu forgot about the lost Barudis and sighed.
"plz follow me."
"Lilu, wait, at least tie him up first!" Camille stopped in front of Lilu.
"No need." Lilu sighed, "his eyes are dead."
Camill looked at Barudis again. Indeed, he thought of a puppet that had been winded, as if he had lost his soul.
"The other party is a murderer who doesn't blink. What are Fang thinking..." Camill muttered to himself.
The place where Barudis was imprisoned was actually Lilu's home. Of course, most of the time he could only be in a single room with iron railings on the window and two royal guards at the door.
In fact, he has the right to go out for a walk every day. According to the Dutch personality, he can even go to the red light district to have fun occasionally. However, except for eating, Barudis never steps out of the room.
About two months later, one time during dinner, Barudis suddenly spoke.
"Did your mother teach you how to make it?" He finished his last sip of the soup, as if something melted him, maybe it was time, maybe it was Lilu's delicacy.
"Maybe, maybe she had this idea before she threw me at the entrance of the orphanage." Lilu smiled.
"Oh...sorry." Barudis's expression was like an ordinary uncle, a little embarrassed, "What a cheerful girl."
"He said so." Lilu's face was filled with a innocent smile. Welcome to your support is my greatest motivation.m
