Chapter 669: Basis Point City
The port is still called the Port of Gibraltar. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In addition, Ouyang Shuo also planned to build a medium-sized city on the limited narrow land at the foot of the mountain, which would be used for trade and as a supply center for the Mediterranean fleet.
The name of the city is called Basis Point City.
The base point is the center, which also refers to the place of the foundation. Ouyang Shuo took this name because he hoped to build the base point city into a place where Shanhai City would develop ocean trade in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean.
Because the national war has not yet ended, Shanhai City's occupation of the port is not legal, and there is a possibility of changing banners at any time. According to the rules of national wars, the condition for the end of a national war is either the destruction of a country; Either the two sides signed an armistice treaty, or ceded land, or paid indemnity.
Only when the Spanish crown officially recognizes the legal occupation of the port of Gibraltar by Shanhai City, can the construction of the base city enter the fast lane, and can also open a post station with the domestic territory.
How to achieve this goal requires Ouyang Shuo to mediate in person.
************
1 August, Port of Gibraltar.
The blackened port of Gibraltar has been transformed into a huge construction site. Tens of thousands of sailors took off their uniforms and turned into workers, thoroughly cleaning the port facilities and the houses on the vacant land.
Ouyang Shuo's order was to clean up the base point city within three days.
Leaving the large army in Pulp City, Ouyang Shuo led two battalions of sailors to Atlantis again. On this visit, Ouyang Shuo used the name of the lord of Shanhai City.
That is, this is an official visit.
If the Mediterranean Fleet wants to really take root, it will certainly not work without friends in the Mediterranean. In the case of the port of Gibraltar alone, the replenishment of the fleet is a problem.
Atlantis is undoubtedly a great ally.
In Ouyang Shuo's view, the two can complement each other perfectly.
On this visit to Atlantis, Ouyang Shuo was not empty-handed, and in addition to the top tea, top porcelain and the purest spices, he brought a special gift.
At the end of the seabed salvage, the ocean-going fleet captured more than 5,300 Spanish artillery pieces.
The ocean-going fleet left ten Spanish guns, which were ready to be brought back to Shanhai City and handed over to the No. 7 Research Institute for dismemberment, providing reference for the development of new artillery in Shanhai City.
The newly formed Mediterranean Fleet left 3,000 guns for its own use. According to the plan, 300 artillery pieces could be placed on the walls of the base city.
For the remaining 2,000 artillery pieces, Ouyang Shuo is going to give 1,000 guns directly to Atlantis Island. These guns, if placed on the outer islands, would have greatly strengthened the defense of Atlantis.
After all, the battle puppets in the outer circle are strategic weapons and should not be used lightly.
Atlantis has just risen, so naturally no one wants to think about anything. But in the middle of the game, the competition for hegemony among the nations intensifies, and the overlord is on the horizon.
By that time, Atlantis will be remembered.
Ouyang Shuo vaguely remembered that in his previous life, five years after Gaia, Atlantis was threatened by the Spaniards. In this life, because of Ouyang Shuo's existence, Atlantis Island was born a year and a half early, and the Spanish Armada was tragically destroyed, everything will be different.
Even so, that doesn't mean Atlantis can rest easy.
Preparing for a rainy day is the best policy.
……
For Ouyang Shuo's visit, Kalia was extremely happy and arranged a grand welcome ceremony. The bright red carpet is laid from the port of North Harbor to the royal palace of the inner island.
Kalia even led the ministers of the kingdom to personally greet Ouyang Shuo and his party at the port.
"The Marquis of Lianzhou said that he has no clothes, and he will meet Her Majesty the Queen."
After Ouyang Shuo disembarked, he bowed to Kalia to show respect.
"Unclothed Lord, welcome back to Atlantis!" Kalia tried her best to control her emotions and introduced the Kingdom Minister to Ouyang Shuo in a graceful manner.
I said goodbye in a hurry before, but I didn't have a chance to see each other.
Of course, many of the ministers were actually appointed in a hurry by Kalia in the past few days. In the surviving lands, they survived, where did they have the heart to form a complete kingdom structure.
It's all about survival.
When it comes to the ground, everything is different. The Atlanteans must show their strength and unity to the outside world, and all institutions should be set up in a short period of time.
Kalia herself was officially crowned king, taking the crown with him.
The island's scientific research institutions, factories and other important facilities are also stepping up commissioning and striving to put them into use as soon as possible. Atlantis is recovering at an astonishing rate, bursting with endless vitality.
During the greetings, the accompanying Jinmuwei and sailors carried boxes of gifts off the ship and piled them up on the dock to form a hill. A thousand Spanish guns were lined up one after another, and the scene was very shocking.
Seeing this, the Minister of the Kingdom looked shocked.
Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, "Shanhai City was able to defeat the Spanish fleet this time, thanks to the gift of Her Majesty the Queen. According to our Oriental tradition, pay attention to courtesy. Be careful, and please smile at Your Majesty. ”
As soon as the words fell, it immediately caused a commotion.
The Minister of the Kingdom looked at Ouyang Shuo differently, from the initial wariness to gratitude.
10,000 years ago, the Atlanteans created a great civilization, but how stupid are they? Ouyang Shuo's previous worries about the hidden dangers, the ministers of the kingdom, including Kalia, have also realized it.
It was not easy for the Atlanteans to truly gain a foothold in the Mediterranean. That's why they're working day and night to restore the island's facilities in the hope of protecting themselves.
It's just that all of this takes time.
The thousand artillery pieces presented by Ouyang Shuo were undoubtedly a send-off in the snow, and they immediately armed Atlantis Island to the teeth, and the young people did not dare to think about it.
In this way, Atlantis gets a rare respite.
Previously, Kalia's excessive intimacy with Ouyang Shuo made the ministers of the kingdom very worried, worried that their queen would be confused by the stranger in front of him.
Now it seems that they are too worried.
Although the young man in front of him was not very old, he was extremely generous in his work, and he did not have the slightest intention of taking advantage of the Atlanteans. The cooperation between the two is indeed a good choice.
"Since it was a gift from the lord of the unclothed, we accepted it." Kalia smiled, the smile in her eyes even worse, and briskly led the way, "Lord of the Clothesless, please inside!" ”
The mighty procession walked towards the palace in the inner ring.
In the past few days, players have found Atlantis Island one after another and started to do tasks on the island. Especially in the middle circle island, you can see players everywhere.
Such a huge scene naturally alarmed these players who were doing the task.
Seeing that Lianzhou Hou and his entourage were received by Atlantis with such a high standard, players from all over the world were jealous at the same time, and their jealousy and attention to Shanhai City deepened.
"It depends on the situation, the relationship between the Marquis of Lianzhou and the Queen of Atlantis is extremely close." Agents from various countries mixed with the player secretly wrote down this detail.
As for the 1,000 Spanish guns, they dazzled the player's eyes.
Regarding the entrenchment of the Marquis of Lianzhou, they only have worship in their hearts at this time. Anyone who knows a little knows that the Spanish artillery is the most advanced artillery in the Mediterranean so far, and a cannon is worth 500 gold coins.
That's it, it's still priceless.
A thousand Spanish guns, according to the most conservative estimates, would not be worth less than half a million gold coins. For the average gamer, this is an astronomical amount of money, and it is a wealth that they can't earn in ten years of gaming.
The magnanimity of the Marquis of Lianzhou is really not something they can understand.
……
Ouyang Shuo, who was walking on the red carpet, noticed the pointing of the players on both sides out of the corner of his eye, and smiled with satisfaction in his heart. Isn't his high-profile visit just to attract the attention of Mediterranean countries? !
Ouyang Shuo wanted to clearly convey a message to all countries that the relationship between Shanhai City and Atlantis Island was very close, and he advised them to rest some unnecessary caution.
The current Ouyang Shuo has long passed the stage of relying only on force to deter opponents. Appropriate diplomacy can sometimes be even more effective than force.
……
Inner island, royal palace reception room.
"Brother Wuyi, you came to see me, Kalia is very happy." With no outsiders there, Kalia immediately took off the queen's disguise and became intimate with Ouyang Shuo.
Ouyang Shuo was calm and said with a smile: "In addition to coming to see you, I still have something to ask for my brother." ”
"You say." Kalia seemed even more eager than Ouyang Shuo, "As long as Kalia can do it, he will definitely go all out." ”
Accompanying Kalia was the chief minister of the Kingdom of Atlantis, Aras, an old man with gray hair. Arras had a special status, and he was also the auxiliary minister appointed by Kalia's father.
Seeing Her Majesty's promise, Arras frowned, thought for a while, and still didn't say anything to stop it. Her Majesty, though young, is unusually intelligent and sophisticated.
At this time, it's better not to refute the queen's face.
Ouyang Shuo glanced at Arras casually, and a hint of admiration flashed, "I hope that Shanhai City and Atlantis City can form a strategic alliance and advance and retreat together in Mediterranean affairs." ”
"Ahem." Arras coughed and subtly interrupted Kalia, who had to be a bad guy at this point, and asked, "What is the specific covenant and what are the obligations of both sides?" ”
Seeing this, Kalia held back and did not speak. She also knows that forming an alliance is a major event and a national affair, and it must not be mixed with personal feelings. Otherwise, it would be irresponsible to the people.
Ouyang Shuo didn't care, he also liked this kind of open and honest meeting.
"I have drawn up a few basic principles for you to discuss and work out today. As for the specific details, it will be left to the officials of both sides to negotiate. What do you think? ”
"That's for the best." Kalia smiled, she didn't like arguing with Ouyang Shuo for the benefit of their respective city-states.
These red-necked matters should be left to the people below to be responsible.
