Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 191 Coming to Cycad Island

When the blue humans were still in the farming age, they had nothing to do in the winter. Apart from repairing farm tools and fishing gear, they were probably interested in increasing the working population.

But with the advent of the industrial age, everything changed.Looking at the white smoke rising from the steel mill, Huang Jiang blinked helplessly.

"How come Deacon Mark is in such a good mood?" Dante rubbed his hands and said with a smile, while several other sea soul masters stationed on Cycad Island also followed closely behind Dante, "We are coming in the middle of winter. This place is broken."

Although Huang Jiang was timid, it was still when he was facing his ship's wife, and the expression of seeing off guests was already engraved on his face. It would be unreasonable for Huang Jiang not to reply: "Why, as a lord, I have nothing to do to visit my house." Is there any problem with your territory?”

The expressions of Homar and Proust behind Dante suddenly changed, but as his boss, Dante still smiled and did not become angry at all. Instead, he said very enthusiastically: "Of course there is no problem, but you can come over anyway." Just let me know, you see, we have nothing prepared here."

"Sooner or later, we are all our own family, there is nothing to prepare." Saratoga suddenly said with a smile on his face.

Hearing these words, no matter how well-educated Dante was, he couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows a few times.

"Nah!" Hema took a step forward, but was pulled back by Dante.

Dante shook his head slightly.After all, their governor was in a legal disadvantage when he occupied Cycad Island. In any case, the fact that Mark Emma was the lord of Cycad Island was clearly written in the files of the Deacon Bureau.It would have been fine in the past. Milton's military strength was at an absolute advantage. He was unscrupulous in how he manipulated Mark Irma, just like when Mark Irma brought the fireflies to Gloria Island. Even Cycad Island Not daring to take a step forward, I went to Jialan Island in despair.

However, today is different from the past. Due to the previous Sea Soul Competition, Milton's financial strength has been severely hit. Their subordinate Sea Soul Masters have slowly entered a difficult period and can only barely maintain the daily life of Sea Soul. needs, and Tulip Steel Group is on the verge of bankruptcy under the continuous attack of Jiagang. If Milton had not been in the last dignity of the governor, Tulip Steel's iron mines and iron smelting plants might have been swallowed up by Jiagang. .

After all, no one thought that with the reconstruction of Cycad Island and the use of a large number of steel structures, buildings with this structure instantly became the main structure of high-rise construction, which made Jiagang's profits soar.It's not that there are no other steel manufacturers who want a piece of the pie, but it's a pity that only Jiagang can produce cheap construction steel, and the only steel that other manufacturers can meet the strength of high-rise buildings is the special steel that is supplied to the sea souls, but that cost……

The fall of Tulip Steel also originated from this.In order to raise funds to keep his Sea Soul quantity at a mid-range level, Milton personally stepped down and ordered his steel group to enter the highly profitable construction industry. However, the cost of Sea Soul Steel was too high, and even the Governor's personal words were not enough. In order to allow builders to use such steel, they developed construction steel that was said to be cheaper than Jia Steel. In fact, ordinary low-quality steel was used as construction steel.

The consequences can be imagined.

After the incident was exposed, Milton even imposed a three-day media ban on Tulip Steel. Three days later, he successfully severed contact with Tulip Steel.

It’s not like Milton has never thought about taking Jiagang into his pocket. However, behind Jiagang is not only Mark Irma, but also the Chamber of Commerce.Although the Chamber of Commerce is nothing in the eyes of the Governor, if it is really offended, the losses suffered will definitely be many, many times greater than the embezzlement of Jiagang. At least half of Tulip's industry will be destroyed.

Now, the only thing Milton can suppress Jialan is his Sea Soul troops. Although the quality is uneven, the quantity can definitely crush Mark Irma, who only actually occupies two islands.

But after all, the Tulip Territory is a governor-general with a big family and a big business. There are many places that need to be guarded by sea souls. When they were placed on Cycad Island, there were only five sea spirits in total. This is because Cycad Island is a resource island, and Milton gave enough attention.But now, these five sea souls are completely absent.

Because behind them were standing five eager ship girls: Saratoga, Hood, Reputation, Rodney, and Nelson. Counting Lexington who was following Huang Jiang, Huang Jiang’s inspection this time brought a lot of attention. Six ship girls came.

Moreover, these six are all ordinary people who have achieved real results.Milton, who was far away on Tulip Island, might not have any intuitive feelings, but as a close neighbor of Gloria Island, Dante witnessed the achievements of these six sea spirits with his own eyes.

Not to mention Saratoga and Lexington, they were already famous throughout the Federation, and Reputation and Hood had injured at least one Sea Spirit captain, while Rodney and Nelson were the main force in blocking Mirage's autumn offensive.

Except for the first two sea souls, Jialan has never publicly acknowledged the achievements of the remaining sea souls, so that these achievements have become legends among steelworkers.Dante knew that these were all true, but he had not personally been there to witness the battle of these sea spirits, so naturally he could not provide evidence to prove to Milton that Jialan had grown to such a terrifying level.

Seeing Hema's gritted teeth, Huang Jiang blinked innocently.

He didn't want to come to Cycad Island, mainly because it was too troublesome, but Lexington repeatedly asked, and the reason was very good: if he didn't go to the island to swear ownership, even if Jiagang controlled the entire iron ore on Cycad Island, it wouldn't be able to change people's eyes. It is understood that Cycad Island belongs to Governor Milton. After all, before Huang Jiang took office, Cycad Island did belong to Milton.

Taking advantage of Mirage's winter break, the ship girl under her command had some free time to go to Cycad Island for a stroll. The name was to inspect Jiagang, but in fact it was to claim ownership of Cycad Island.

Huang Jiang will naturally not openly say that he is here to make a claim. Such words are obviously meant to slap Milton in the face. If this is really the case, it is tantamount to breaking up with Milton. This is absolutely unacceptable to Huang Jiang at this stage. Yes, he still wants to suck blood from Tulip for a while.

Moreover, Milton's look of being extremely reluctant but having to give up was really refreshing. However, Huang Jiang later found out about the trap Milton had set for him on Cycad Island at that time. If Anders hadn't warned him in advance, Huang Jiang would have avoided it. I want to take the fireflies to Cycad Island and be humiliated.

"We naturally welcome Deacon Mark's visit." Dante smiled stiffly, "But it's just not necessary to bring so many sea souls, right? It would be bad if the mirage suddenly came. By then the crowd would have What loss..."

"It's not winter now, the mirage is in its winter break." Huang Jiang glanced at Dante and said, "It's not like Jialan is defenseless now. My fireflies are currently patrolling the sea. Don't look at the delicate fireflies. , she can handle ordinary sea souls."

"Even if we can't handle it, the carrier-based aircraft from Lexington and Saratoga can arrive within two hours."

Huang Jiang took a few steps forward, was silent for a while, and continued:
"Just like the last time they supported Cycad Island, you remember...Mr. Dante."
