Vol 6 Chapter 118: Escorting the sea route

When the Stratholme Magic Industrial Base, located in the northernmost part of the mainland, entered the stage of insane madness construction, the three canals of the Candela Empire, the southernmost part of the continent, were not idle.
After acquiring five frigates again from the New Flyer, plus the previous three frigates, the Candela Empire Navy finally owned a new fleet of magic frigates.
During the many trainings and actual drills in the past six months, this new type of fleet has demonstrated the power of the Navy's traditional warships far beyond the Candela Empire, and the Candela Empire has reached a consensus. It is the future development direction of the Navy that must be replaced by this latest type of magic warship.
In the past, the traditional relied on a large number of wooden ships to oppress each other. During the battle, they continued to attack the rockets, even directly on board the ship, and at most, they used small trebuchets to smash two stones in the past. It has been completely replaced by a new type of combat method that uses ultra-long-range attack and even the enemy's face can be ended without seeing it.
In order to remain in the future of the endless sea, the Candela Empire Navy must make a rapid change.
However, there is an important issue that hinders the Candela Empire from making this change.
The problem is simple and straightforward, and that is money.
In these years, the empire has cut the total budget of the military, and the budget of the navy is far more rampant than the army.
The Imperial Navy purchased three magic frigates from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. It was also the hard-selling money of the Navy’s Ministry of Finance, and therefore it owed a part of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and also brought out some conditions such as the military port’s opening to the new Flying Chamber of Commerce frigates.
Later, although the Imperial Navy passed the cooperation with the New Flyer Chamber of Commerce. As well as vigorously cracking down on the maritime promotion brought by pirates, they have gained a lot of money. However, after purchasing five magic frigates from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, they have spent all the money they have made in the past two years.
So now, despite the consensus reached by the Imperial Navy, all the warships in the Navy have to be converted into new-type magic frigates, but when they think of the price of a magic frigate of up to two million gold coins, they can only express their helplessness.
In order to achieve this goal. At the same time, under the private instruction of the Emperor, the Candela Empire has further deepened the close ties with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
After the election of the new chief of staff of the Imperial Navy, Count Russell. The New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Empire Navy reached an agreement two months ago to open the three deep-water military ports under the control of the Candela Imperial Navy.
Specifically, these three military ports, which were originally used only by the Candela Imperial Navy, now welcome any vessel.
Although the ship entering the military port has to pay a certain protection fee to the Candela Empire. However, this cost is not high. A large sea-going ship can only pay 30 gold coins. It is absolutely affordable for most merchant ships engaged in shipping.
Moreover, after paying these thirty gold coins, not only will the protection of the Candela Imperial Navy be obtained in these three military ports, but if there is any danger in the endless sea in the south, they can seek help from the Candela Empire.
In general, for most shipping merchants, this protection fee is very worthwhile.
Of course, how to ensure that you can be in danger in the southern waters. It is also able to seek help from the Candela Imperial Navy in time, and the key is still at the New Flyer Chamber of Commerce.
Every merchant ship that has paid 30 gold coins protection fee will receive a magic communication device provided by the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce. With this magic communication device, you only need to use the magic communication device to get in touch with other people in the magic communication network range.
Specifically in the southern part of the Candela empire, you can always send a distress signal through the magic communication device, and then the distress signal can be transmitted to the Candela Imperial Navy in the first time, and then the Candel Imperial Navy will send an Imperial Navy ship to rescue. .
If the Imperial Navy could not rush to the rescue in the first place. Ships that need assistance can also turn to the nearest New Flying Chamber of Commerce to set up a base on each island of the endless sea for help.
Moreover, since the magic signal transmission distance of each magic signal tower is limited to five kilometers or less, the Candela Imperial Navy's proposal for each merchant ship is not to leave the island with the magic signal tower within five kilometers. In order to avoid the rescue signal can not be transmitted smoothly.
So after the Candela Empire Navy announced the opening of the three military ports as transit ports, the merchant ships that traveled to and from the Candela empire for maritime trade increased again, almost tens of times before, but if you look down from the sky, you will find Although these merchant ships sailed on the endless sea of ​​endless seas, the route they took was almost exactly the same.
When all the merchant ships sail on the endless sea, they will not be too far away from the island where the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce base is located.
The most important reason, of course, is that this route is fully covered by the magic communication network laid by the new Feishang Association, and you can get strong instant messaging conditions. If you encounter any danger, you can ask for help at the first time, and if you have any information, you can Communicate for a while.
For those maritime traders who have been sailing in the endless seas for ten days and a half, it is a huge change.
In addition, since this route is around the island base of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, it is obviously long time that it will be explored by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. There is no danger of undiscovered reefs on the entire route, which is more conducive to smoothness. Sailing.
In addition, a copy of the "The Endless Sea Route" written jointly by the Candela Imperial Navy and the New Flyer Chamber of Commerce details another thing, that is, the New Flyer Chamber of Commerce has set up a fence every five hundred kilometers on these island bases. A deep-water port that can be docked by seagoing vessels.
Cargo seagoers can call at these ports at any time to make replenishment.
This is a great convenience for merchants who have been wandering in the endless sea all the year round and can only rely on the supply of support for the departure, which lasts for dozens of days or even months.
Moreover, the new Feishang Association will also provide some recommended sea-going maintenance and other logistics facilities in these ports, so that these merchant ships will obtain more reliable protection when sailing on the sea.
In addition, because the ship can be replenished at any time, the space on the ship can be used to load more space to load more goods, making the value of a voyage much higher than before.
Although the fees charged by the new Feishang Association on these sea bases are much more expensive than those on the land, compared with the previous situation, it is impossible to replenish the rest of the way, and there will be dangerous situations at any time. Now it is undoubtedly stronger than countless times.
Moreover, now in the waters from the Principality of Standin to the southern part of the Candela empire, you can also enjoy the protection of the new Flyer fleet and the Candela empire naval fleet, and the safety is greatly increased.
Based on the above reasons, when the joint statement of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Empire Navy was officially announced, there were countless seagoing vessels entering the endless sea and starting to go back and forth on this channel planned by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. shuttle.
Numerous kinds of goods were loaded onto merchant ships at several ports in the city of Standin, and this route was continuously transported to the Candela Empire.
These goods are not just magical machinery, but also a large amount of ordinary living materials, including food, clothing, plastic products, and even some pots and pans...
When the merchant ship arrived at the southern port of the Candela empire, part of the goods were sold locally and in the vicinity. The rest was directly connected to the hinterland of the empire through the Candel empire and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
For the civilians of the Candela empire, any goods from the Principality of Constantine are extremely welcome.
Think about it, a beautiful appearance, needlework, and the clothes made by the tailors in the Candela empire are only slightly different fabrics, actually only sell dozens of silver coins, but at most it is just a little more than a gold coin!
This is simply a white pass!
As for the other aspects, although the plastics are not known to most of the Candela empire, but the so-called plastic-made things, such as plastic washbasins, are both light and easy to use, far more than The iron basin is much more convenient, and the price is only one tenth of the area of ​​the ordinary iron basin.
What's more, the surface of the plastic washbasin is extremely smooth, and it feels super good when touched. It is much stronger than the potholes that the blacksmiths have created, and even the iron basin with burrs on the side.
Besides, the iron plate is still afraid of rusting paint, and the plastic basin can be without this worry.
If you really don't want to use a plastic basin, think that the metal basin is reassuring, that's fine.
Because there are a variety of alloy-made washbasins for you to choose, never rust, the same light, but the price is slightly more expensive, but it is only a few silver coins.
Numerous kinds of goods from the Principality of Constantine came in, including what the Candela Empire people wanted, and many that they could not think of.
In short, they are all cheap and easy to use, and they instantly have a huge impact on the lives of the Candelite people.
In just two or three months, the goods of the Principality of Constantine have left a deep impression on the people of the Candela Empire.
The only exception is the southern province. (To be continued)
