"Grandmaster, do you really have to decide to join the war and help me fight Clifford?" Xu said in a pity after leaving only a few main personnel in the captain's room.

"Alfred, we are not helping you personally, we are fighting for Sweden! The drawing you get will allow Sweden to have maritime power that can compete with the most advanced warships of any country. In contrast, our lives are not important. You are not the only one who is willing to contribute everything to the motherland, do you understand?" Hedram patted Xu Mo's shoulder and said seriously.[..com]

"I understand, Admiral! However, even if all the Swedes on the warship are willing to contribute to their motherland,..." Xu Mo said with a frown.

"Alfred, don't worry about us. Hedram helped us realize our ideals, and we also helped him realize our ideals. From the moment we boarded the boat, we decided to share life and death with the Admiral." Gerhardt said with a smile, and Manuel and Charlie next to him also nodded in agreement.

"Non-Swedish ordinary sailors, we will get them off the boat in Amsterdam. Do you have any questions?" Hedram said with a smile.

"There is another last question. After arriving in Amsterdam, how do we intercept Clifford's fleet from sea?" Xu Mo took a deep breath and asked slowly.

"Alfred, you're a good warrior, but you still have a lot to learn about sea wars!" Gerhardt couldn't help laughing, "Did you think we could monitor Clifford's time in London and follow him?"

"Is there a better way?" Xu Mo immediately sweated, thinking that fortunately the plot of the space that allowed him to take over the body was just a rustic knight. Otherwise, his pitiful nautical knowledge would have been exposed in front of Hedram and Gerhart.

"Alfred, as soon as Clifford leaves the port, we will follow him directly behind his butt, and it will be discovered that he is the enemy. If you really want to fuck at the entrance of London Harbor, we have to deal with the entire English Navy." Manuel looked at Xu Mo with pity, "Fortunately, the Admiral did not ask you to take that armed sailboat to duel with Clifford, otherwise I would probably not have to do anything with Clifford, you would have to go into the sea to swim!"

"Ahem, okay, as your boss, I have the obligation to teach you to be a qualified naval officer." Seeing Xu Mo's face begin to turn blue and stare at everyone fiercely, Hedram quickly changed the topic, "Maritime war, first of all, is fighting intelligence. European countries have some intelligence personnel in other countries. The work of these people is very simple, recording the number of warships in enemy countries, the data of warships and the time of returning to sea."

"Your Excellency, are you saying that Sweden also has such intelligence personnel in London. Will they pass the information of the Clifford fleet to Amsterdam?" Xu Mo asked thoughtfully.

"We don't need their intelligence about Clifford's fleet, because I and the Admiral are more familiar with Clifford than they do!" Gerhart shook his head and said, "We only need Clifford's time to go to sea!"

"Gerhart is right. We are more familiar with the detailed information of naval warships in various countries than those spies." Hedram agreed. "In addition, in Amsterdam we need to wait for the instructions of His Majesty the King!"

"His Majesty Gustav's instructions?" Xu Mo asked in surprise.

"Of course, the Vistalos is sponsored by His Majesty Gustav and the property of the royal family. We cannot decide to allow it to participate in a naval battle against the English privateer fleet." Hedram said seriously, "But even without the Vistalos, we still have an armed merchant ship. This ship belongs to our own seizure, and can be used at will!"

"How much time will it take to wait for His Majesty the King's instructions?" Xu Mo said with a wry smile. He really didn't expect that there would be such a complex chain effect.

"In less than a few days, I have sent someone to contact the intelligence personnel in Sweden. They will come here tonight. They will take away the construction drawings of the warships, and will cross the sea to France at night, and then pass them to Copenhagen along the way, and cross the sea to Stockholm from there. After the drawings are handed over to His Majesty the King, they will bring His Majesty the King's instructions. If I have not made a mistake, maybe His Majesty the King will give us some surprises!" A smile appeared in Hedram's eyes, as if he had sufficient confidence in Gustav II.

"Admiral, but I still don't understand. Even if we get Clifford's time to go to sea, how can we determine his destination? In addition, even if we determine his destination, can we intercept them at sea?" Xu Mo knew that he had too little knowledge of navigation, so he had to ask honestly. He needed Hedram's information so that he could decide his plans for the future.

"You will know in a few days!" A mysterious smile appeared on Hedram's face.

On that night, several Swedish spies with hidden heads and tails came on the Vistalos. After a secret talk with Hedram, they took away the battleship drawings and a secret letter from Hedram to Gustav II.

The next morning, the Vistalos and the armed sailboat spent a full ten days in London and set sail again. This time, their destination was Amsterdam, in this era, the Kingdom of the Netherlands (Netherlands) and even the largest trading port in the world, and one of the most prosperous port cities in the world.

...

"Look, Alfred, it's Amsterdam!" Blackney shouted excitedly with one arm pointing at the huge port in front of him.

The Vistalos slowly drove into Amsterdam. Like Stockholm, the city also has the title of "Northern Venice". Compared with Stockholm, it is more in line with the name. There are more than 160 waterways and more than 1,000 bridges in the city. The entire city is lower than the sea level.

Xu Mo climbed onto the main mast of the Vistalos and immediately saw the bridges in the city intertwined, the rivers and canals crisscrossed, and the entire city was as bright as satin and like a spider web. There were countless small boats moored on the river surface, and even from the clothes hanging on the boat, it can be seen that these small boats were basically "houseboats".

There are hundreds of merchant ships moored in the port of Amsterdam. The port's docks are busier than the London docks. Porters are like hard-working ants to carry cargo from all over the world from ships, and then load specialties from the inland European countries on board in the future. Merchant ships enter and exit the port docks at every moment.

After getting off the boat, Hedram and several officers were about to find hotel accommodation when a sound suddenly came from behind them.

"Hey, stop!"
