Vol 6 Chapter 143: Two Dukes of the Governor

According to the preliminary plan, the investment of the new Feishang Association's Julu Island offshore base will exceed at least 20 million gold coins. It is expected that the construction time will be at least three years. It can be said that it is the first super-large project since the establishment of the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce. +◆
When this offshore base is completely completed, the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce will have a stronghold in the southern sea of ​​the endless sea.
And the site of this base was so ingenious that it just slammed all the sea lanes from the southern sea of ​​the endless sea to the Principality of Stading.
Any vessel that wants to travel to the host country of Stading via the sea passage cannot completely escape the control of the base. This is equivalent to setting up a gate in the southern waters, so that the new flyer will no longer have to worry about suddenness from the southern waters. attack.
For Xu Yi, this sea base is just an attempt.
As long as he has accumulated enough experience, when conditions are right, he will inevitably extend this sea base from the endless sea all the way, eventually spreading the entire endless sea, forming a chain of sea bases on the endless sea. Together with the small bases distributed on various islands, it will form the most complete control over the entire endless sea.
The reason why this is done is actually a conjecture derived from Xu Yi.
By observing the various details of the years on the continent of Sainz, Xu also determined that the world should still be on a planet like Earth, not the world in the inexplicable space.
In this case, he firmly believes that this world is certainly not just the continent of Sainz.
And all the races on this continent have legends about other continents, which indirectly proves Xu Yi’s conjecture.
Well, since this world is not just a continent, it was incomprehensible in the eyes of many people. It can be said that the endless sea where people are not allowed to enter. In Xu Yi's eyes, it has become a treasure house with countless treasures.
He firmly believes. Being able to have absolute control over the endless sea, the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce has endless possibilities, and is no longer limited to the land of Sainz, which has long been divided by the powers.
But the price you have to pay to achieve this goal is quite amazing.
According to preliminary estimates, this Julu Island offshore base will invest at least 20 million gold coins when it is built, and the annual fixed investment will never be lower than 3 million gold coins.
A new base for a maritime base can easily be afforded, but if it becomes ten or even dozens, it can be a huge burden.
So while building this offshore base. Xu is already considering the possibility of profitability at this offshore base.
But for now, he has no clue for the time being...
This time, Xu also stayed at the sea base for a full week. After seeing the foundation of the sea base begin to take shape, he took the magic airship and left for the southern military port of the Candela Empire farther northeast.
Compared to the Kingdom of Rulson's thirst for frigates, the Candela empire is much more direct.
Although the relationship between the two sides is not so sympathetic, the Candela Empire officially will not make contact with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in a big way, but in the private Candela empire, many people are actively contacting the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, trying to seek Cooperation.
One of the most active ones is the Candela Empire Navy.
Because of cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I chose to open three military ports. Only in the last half of the year, the Candela Empire Navy has earned an astonishing tax revenue of up to three million gold coins through unparalleled sea transportation.
Plus a lot of seawater influx. Bringing a boom to the cities around the three military forces, as well as the entire southern Tural province, has also increased the tax revenues of these places, making the Candela empire that actually controls this large area. The Navy has benefited a lot from it.
The first thing the Candela Imperial Navy has tasted is the disarmament...
Don't be surprised, it is disarmament.
When the Candela Empire Navy announced that it would cut up 60% of the service personnel inside the Imperial Navy, and at the same time let nearly half of the naval warships be cut, everyone was taken aback.
Most people believe that this must be because the annual budget of Candeladi is tight, so in the end, in order to ensure the Army's budget, it was forced to cut the naval budget significantly, resulting in a large layoff and reduction of warships.
In reality, however, these acts were made by the Candela Empire Navy itself to the military, and were finally approved by the military and the Imperial House and the Emperor.
The reason for this is of course to cut the high expenditure of up to 25 million gold coins per year in the Candela Empire.
After the disarmament, the annual spending of the Candela Empire Navy will directly save more than 10 million gold coins. With the corresponding income obtained through the opening of the three military ports and surrounding cities, the Candela Empire can even produce up to one thousand in a year. A huge sum of millions of gold coins.
The reason why the Candela Empire Navy has spent all its money to save such a large sum of money is, of course, to buy more magic frigates from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
This is what the Candela Empire and the New Flyer Association have already agreed on, so the new Flyer will take over the huge amount of orders worth a total of 15 million gold coins.
Of course, this is not enough for Xu to personally go to the Candela Empire. He came here. In addition to signing a new batch of magic frigate sales agreements on behalf of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Empire, the main purpose is to come. Meet the Governor of the Province of Tural, the Governor of Peresco.
Because of the increasing prosperity of the southern part of the Candela empire, the magical industrial industry that has flourished in several countries in the southwest corner of the Sainz mainland has also been brought into the Candela empire. The most affected is the most southern Talal line. province.
Now in the province of Tulaal, you can see all kinds of magic machinery and various products related to the magic industry.
Even several magical machinery companies outside the New Flyer Chamber of Commerce have long invested in the province of Tural, and opened several magic machinery factories, turning the Tural province into a new magic in the Candela empire. Industrial Base.
Compared with the magic industrial base near the city of Wimbledon, which is officially hosted by the Candela Empire, the development of the magic industry in the province of Tural is slightly scattered, but it is more dynamic and the development momentum is much better.
But the Duke of Peresco is obviously not satisfied with this.
The development of the magical industrial industry in the province of Tural is no better, but the lack of participation of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is always like something missing. So he took the initiative to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce through the Kandra Imperial Navy as a middleman. I hope that Xu will also be able to visit the province of Tural for cooperation and negotiation.
This is by far the first time in the Candela empire that a person of the provincial governor has officially sent an invitation to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to reveal the willingness to cooperate. Xu also naturally attaches great importance to it.
However, Xu did not expect that at the banquet hosted by the Duke of Peresco, there was an extra guest who was completely unexpected.
"Mr. Xu, this is the Duke of Chris Windsor, the Governor of the Southern Province of the Empire. I think you must have heard of his name." The Duke of Peresco smiled and smiled at Xu’s other guest. I also made a brief introduction, and then I stepped back to the side and put on a stand-by posture.
"Duke of Windsor?" Xu also looked at the unexpected guest opposite. This looks very majestic. The middle-aged man who looks like a big aristocrat, but looks plain, is the Governor of the Southern Province, the Duke of Windsor?
In the Candela empire, there are different attitudes towards the new Feishang meeting, there is support, and of course there are oppositions.
Among the people who oppose the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, the Duke of Windsor is definitely one of the most prominent and conspicuous.
First, because he is the governor of the southern province, equivalent to the princes of the Candela empire, the right to speak is extremely heavy, and any statement will have a great impact.
Second, his actions are also very amazing.
Compared with other people who opposed the new Feishang Chamber of Commerce, they only shouted slogans. The southern governor’s governor directly ordered that any goods related to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce be refused to enter the southern province, completely cutting off the southern province and the new The connection between the Flying Chamber of Commerce.
This kind of practice is like a deep hatred between him and his new flying business association.
Of course, Xu is still very clear. Before the Duchess of Windsor and Earl of Dole, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce had already formed a hatred with the Duke of Windsor.
Later, the Duke of Windsor actually sent a private guard to invade the New Flyer Chamber of Commerce, which completely violated Xu Yi’s bottom line.
The private Guards were almost completely wiped out by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in the Principality of Stading, and the Duke of Windsor and the New Flyer Chamber of Commerce formed a private feud.
So Xu is not at all surprised that the Duke of Windsor would oppose the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. After the Duke of Windsor made such a decisive rejection of the new Flying Chamber of Commerce into the southern province, he gave up the idea of ​​opening the southern province market.
In any case, the Candela empire has dozens of provinces, and there is no shortage of the southern province.
It is also because of these issues that are very clear, so Xu does not understand at all, why the Duke of Windsor will appear here.
He did not believe that the Duke of Peresco did not know the attitude of the Duke of Windsor to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, nor did he believe that the Duke of Windsor did not know that the guests of the Duke of Peresco today were themselves.
Then there is such an arrangement, it must be useful.
Xu Yi and the Duke of Windsor kept silent at the same time and looked at each other.
After arguing with the Duke of Windsor for a while, Xu also suddenly flashed his brain, slightly opened his mouth, and looked a little surprised.
Then he reacted again, and the surprised expression on his face instantly changed into a kind smile, reaching out to the Duke of Windsor.
"Duke of the Duke, this is our first time meeting, I hope this will be a good opportunity for our cooperation. You are right?"
The Duke of Windsor stared at Xu and looked at it for a while. He reached out and Xu also gently held it together. Shen Sheng said: "Hui Hui, I hope you will not let me down." (To be continued...)
