Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 157 Temporary Stability

Two months later, it was already late autumn.

The cold air from the sea poured into the federal waters little by little.

Although the sun is high in the sky, Huangjiang already feels a bit cold.He tightened his clothes, jumped off the boat, and officially set foot on Wutou Island.

The island is empty, but unlike Iris Island, the vegetation on the island is still very complete, and the ecosystem has not been destroyed.

After all, there is no mirage mother body that covers the sky and the sun. For ordinary animals and plants, it does not matter much whether the overlord of the island is a mirage or a human.

"The remaining mirages have almost been cleared away." Sheng Sheng followed Huang Jiang and said unhurriedly.

After accidentally pushing the wave of the Sea Soul Treaty, Huang Jiang wisely retreated to the background. This is not a game he can participate in now. Rather than arguing with the governors, it is better to fight mirages and flirt with each other. It's more interesting to tease the ship girl.

Since then, the governors' agents have been arguing on Ramhuatan Island for more than two months, and even the first article has not been settled. This shows the horror of the wrangling.

Huang Jiang stepped on the land of Wutou Island and couldn't help feeling a little emotional. When he graduated from the academy at the beginning of the year and came out alone with Fireflies, he never thought that he would summon so many ship girls in such a short period of time. At that time, he thought that it would take at least two or three years to reach the current scale of ship girls. After all, an ordinary deacon could save enough to summon one or two in two years relying on the federal salary and the territory's taxes without any funding. Of course, this does not include the daily consumption and the consumption of the sea soul.

At that time, Huang Jiang was already optimistic enough. After all, although he didn't understand anything, as a time traveler, his horizons also brought quick money. He could save enough money for a wife in two or three years.Now that I think about it, I feel very lucky, and feel that even those who travel through time must take a look at the general trend.

The merchant alliance never expected that the establishment of a lord force of its own would unexpectedly give the small island to the east an opportunity to rise rapidly.Now, in addition to the neutral faction, there are two completely different factions within the Merchant Alliance regarding Jialan. One is the Jialan faction represented by Joyce. It is said that supporting Jialan will be greatly beneficial to the future layout of the Merchant Alliance. In fact, most of them are inextricably linked to Gloria Island. Not to mention the leader, Joyce, who is the person in charge and beneficiary of Gloria General Electric, relies on Nikola to generate electricity without AC. The low electricity costs brought about by machine patent fees have slowly begun to squeeze out Morgan Power's market. The two parties have recently begun a competition for the bidding for next year's Federal Exposition. Apart from him, most of the supporters are in Jiali. There is investment capital on Orchid Island, mainly in the textile industry. Most of them are beneficiaries of Jialan Wool or spokespersons for the owners of textile factories on Wutou Island.

They vigorously encouraged the business alliance to increase investment in Jialan to obtain more benefits.

On the other side is the group headed by Morgan. His objection to this matter is for no other reason than to suppress the development of Garland General Electric.

This naturally aroused the interest of Morgan's old enemy Rockfield, otherwise Joyce alone would not be able to fight against a large consortium like Morgan.

Recently, Rockfield has also begun to become interested in Gloria Island.He has always been able to see the current situation clearly, and he is very clear that the promotion of electricity is the general trend. Even if he is the richest man in the federation, he cannot stop this kind of thing that can bring about great changes in society.So he must find the next substitute for Standard Oil to make up for the huge losses caused by the sluggish kerosene market.

An internal combustion engine using gasoline is the best choice.But only used in factories, this share is too small for Standard Oil, and it cannot be compared with the kerosene market represented by kerosene lamps used in every household.

Recently, the Federation's first internal combustion engine carriage was born on Gloria Island. Gloria Deacon Mark Erma named this new type of vehicle a car because the fuel it uses is gasoline.

New things often represent new opportunities, but new things are being born in the Federation every day. This would not have attracted the attention of the oil king, but the publicity mouth cultivated by Lexington played a major role. Even Rockefeller He could see their warm-up for automobiles in the newspapers every morning. When he saw the deacon mentioned that this kind of vehicle would be promoted to every household to replace the original horse-drawn carriage and become the main means of transportation in the federation, Rockefeller knew , what I have been looking for was born.

In the past, carriages were very restrictive, and the cost of raising horses was not something ordinary civilians could afford. Therefore, the people had a huge demand for new and cheap long-distance transportation tools. If the cars of Gloria Island can really lower the price. To the point where ordinary people can afford it, then for Standard Oil, which can produce gasoline, this is tantamount to a huge market comparable to kerosene.

Therefore, Rockfield was very interested in cars, and naturally had some good impressions of Jialan Island. It was just a little effort to give a little boost to the business alliance. He was happy to see Jialan develop and grow, and even wanted to urge it. Cars can be put on the market earlier because there is really not much time left for kerosene lamps.This is a shortcoming of business alliances. They are essentially the product of capital alliances for common interests. Since they are interests, there will naturally be disputes.

Of course, the investment in Sart is still the majority of the Merchant Alliance. After all, Mandala Island is the biological son of the Merchant Alliance.

The soil on Wutou Island is very black, which means the land here is very fertile.

The black soil represents the ability to farm, and Huang Jiang gets excited when he thinks of farming.

I don’t know why he is excited. In short, Huang Jiang feels uncomfortable if Wutou Island is not filled with crops.And with the increase in population, food is indeed a problem that Jialan will face. As a world composed of small islands, there are many islands suitable for planting in the Federation. Most of the food in the Federation comes from there, so that the formation of A dedicated farm island.

However, Huang Jiang, who was born in China, has a natural repulsion towards outsourcing. He always feels that he has to have a little bit of everything to be practical and cannot leave the handle in the hands of others.

So he has been trying to promote planting on Gloria Island, but it has not gone well. After all, Gloria Island is a natural pasture. The grass on the island grows much faster than the crops. Even the sheep can't eat it. Come to you, a foreign rice and wheat, and want to grab the land?

But it is different now.

There are large areas of fertile land on Wutou Island, which are all uncultivated land.

If it weren't for the fact that it was difficult to publicize what happened on Wutou Island to deceive others, Huang Jiang would be eager to spread the seeds now.

I don’t know if the climate in Jialan Sea is suitable for winter wheat.

If it fits, that's fine, no need to waste time.

"Is there a construction team worthy of our trust?" Huang Jiang turned around and asked. Lexington had just gotten off the ship with a survey book. Huang Jiang had done a secretarial ship rotation a few days ago. After all, it's not okay to let his wife sit in the office. Great.Therefore, the ship girl currently handling affairs on Gloria Island has been rotated from Lexington to Hood, and Lexington and Gaga have replaced Hood, Rodney and Nelson in patrolling the three-island waters.

He has the reputation of being his personal bodyguard (although I don’t know if it is necessary to have a bodyguard with the ancient god’s physique), but having a beautiful maid by his side is quite pleasing to the eye.

Although a little shy, Huang Jiang is still a conventional man after all.

Rodney and Nelson were on standby at Iris Island, and six submarines were distributed in various waters of Gloria.They are both ship girls responsible for eliminating crises. The former is mainly responsible for the invasion of Eastern Mirage into high-frequency sea areas, while the latter is responsible for the ordinary sea areas within Gloria.

After being busy for more than half a year, Jialan finally settled down a little.
