"Looking at your bear, except for the Republic of Venice and the Byzantine Empire at sunset, you can barely see what other countries are scary?" Looking at Nathan's fearful look, Tim looked down on him.

He did not put the small city-states in central Europe and Italy in his eyes. As for the Republic of Venice, as long as its fleet dared to enter the Atlantic Ocean, the battlefield would immediately turn to Portugal.

Most of the ships in the Venetian Republic are suitable for inland sea combat galleon fleets such as the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. Its fleet cannot withstand the wind and waves of the Atlantic Ocean at all.

Of course, if you face the Venetian fleet in the Mediterranean, Tim is indeed a little panicked, but it may not be the case in the Atlantic Ocean. So Tim is not afraid that the Republic of Venice will dare to come for an expedition to offend. After all, all Portugal land is facing the Atlantic Ocean.

As for the Byzantine Empire, Tim did not put it in his eyes. At this moment, Byzantine was already setting sun and still had the ability to expedition to the Atlantic Ocean? Even when it was its strongest, it did not dare to leave the Strait of Gibraltar.

After some conspiracy, Tim was very confident.

Tim was very happy when he thought of the heroic behavior of merchants in the Mediterranean, and his mood suddenly became extremely happy because of this: "Let's go, I'll meet them."

As soon as Tim finished speaking, he immediately asked someone to change his clothes, and then came to the hall surrounded by guards.

Before entering the hall, Tim heard angry discussions inside.

"It's so crazy that the hateful Portuguese businessman actually bounced into a ship in the waters of our country."

"Oh, what are you? The fish in our oceans have been almost salvaged by the Portuguese. Now our seas have almost become Portuguese seas. I really don't know when there were so many merchants in Portugal?"

"There is no way. Every time we want to arrest people, the Portuguese Navy will always appear quickly. Due to the power of the Portuguese Navy, they have no choice but to follow them, but they are too much."

Listening to these small country envoys complaining desperately, the Venetian envoys and Byzantine envoys looked at each other, it seemed that their losses did not seem to be the worst.

At this moment, the envoys were discussing fiercely about the evil deeds of the Portuguese merchants. They were so distracted that they did not notice Tim's arrival.

Nathan frowned and was about to lead people in and teach them a lesson. Tim waved his hand to stop him, and said in a voice that everyone could hear accurately.

"Nathan, you must not be rude to guests who come from afar. We, Portugal, are a peace-loving country and a country that follows the etiquette system. We must welcome visitors with a smile."

After hearing what Tim said, the people in the hall noticed that Tim had appeared, and immediately stood up and bowed to Tim and saluted: "Your Majesty."

While greeting everyone with a smile, Tim slowly walked to the throne directly in front of the hall: "I wonder what advice do you have when you visit Portugal together this time?"

When I saw Tim ask, all the messengers looked at me, and I looked at you, hoping that others could stand up and take the lead in speaking.

However, half a minute passed, no one was willing to stand up and speak first, so that the atmosphere in the hall suddenly fell into a deadlock.

These envoys from the city-states of Italy naturally did not dare to speak first. After all, the strength of their country was not on the same level as that of Portugal. If they said something wrong, it would be too deadly. Therefore, these envoys looked at the envoys of the Venetian Republic and the Byzantine Empire, as if they were following the leads of these two men.

After looking around, the Byzantine messenger finally gritted his teeth and stood up. He gave a deep bow before saying slowly: "Master, logically speaking, if there is nothing, we will never dare to disturb you. But at this moment, this matter is very serious, and it has been so serious that it has completely damaged the interests of countries around the Mediterranean. I wonder if Your Majesty knows what your merchants do in the Mediterranean region?"

Listening to his angry tone, Tim smiled calmly: "As the king of Portugal, I naturally know the character and morality of my country's merchants. As far as I know, every one of our merchants is a good person who is obedient to oneself. They do not steal, rob, fight or cheat, and do their own business peacefully. If anyone is the most conscientious businessman in the Mediterranean, I am afraid that I, the Portuguese merchant, say second, and no country dares to say first."

Listening to Tim's words, the messengers' faces turned pale, and the anger that had been resentful for a long time became even stronger at this moment.

Are you the most conscientious? If you have a conscience, you will go to other countries to fish? If you have a conscience, you will surround merchant ships in other countries? If you have a conscience, you will surround merchants in other countries?

The Venetian envoy immediately jumped out and said, "We have known for a long time that Your Majesty loves the people as a son and is an extremely great king. But you don't need to open your eyes to tell lies in order to protect your people. At that time, under the personal appointment of His Majesty the Pope, the seas of various countries were clearly divided. However, your merchants actually opened fishing in our Venetian waters. Your navy did not stop it, but even fired fire at our fishing boats and fleets directly. How did Your Majesty explain this? Is your country planning to declare war on our country?"

After hearing what he said, Tim immediately closed the smile on his face and said sternly: "Portugal has always been catching its own fish and never catches fish from other countries. Regarding fishing, I, the Portuguese, strictly abide by the Pope's regulations and only work in the seas divided by His Majesty the Pope. As for why he ran to the seas of your country, I think this is what happened. Those fish first appeared in our Portuguese waters, so this will always belong to our Portugal. But you also know that this fish will swim around when catching it, and accidentally swim into your seas, so we Portuguese can only enter your seas to catch our fish. After all, this fish belongs to us and does not belong to you."

The last sentence Tim said was quite reasonable and did not blush or panting at all. It seemed that the fish was really Portuguese, and the Portuguese merchant just took back what he had.

After listening to Tim's explanation, the messengers were stunned. Isn't this naked and foolish?

Tim said to himself without seeing their expression changes: "I will reiterate that Portugal has always been a peace-loving country and will never take the initiative to fire at other countries' fleets. If there is such a rumor, it will be slander and slander."

"And whenever ships from other countries accidentally sank the water, our Portuguese navy rushed over to save people in the spirit of humanitarianism, and brought the rescued personnel back to Portugal for free for treatment. Can't you still see my Portuguese sincerity?"
