Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 551 The necessary means

"Habit?" Hood asked for the first time.

Huang Jiang did not answer, just shook his head, then looked at Hood, and asked: "Our problem now is how to solve the problem at hand. Judging from the current situation, the channel over the Tulip Territory may be opened at any time. By closing the Gloria Territory, although the connection with Jimu Island will not be interrupted, the transportation of resources will definitely be affected."

"In this case, we can only use the channel on the Wengzhu Island side." Hood said thoughtfully, "The transportation costs will go up all of a sudden."

"Yes." Huang Jiang also had a headache about this. "We also need to appease the factory owners in the territory so that they don't have to worry about raw materials and transportation."

Hood flipped through a few pages of the newspaper and said: "This is not a simple matter. Milton's suppression of the Gloria Territory has already begun. Whether we block the news or not, people in the territory will know about it sooner or later. However, I think the internal problems can still be easily solved. After all, Jialan Territory is an emerging force. Even if it suffers a slight setback, the momentum of vigorous development cannot be interrupted unless you, the lord as the consul, take the lead in surrendering."

Huang Jiang rolled his eyes and said: "It is possible that I will appear in front of Milton, but at that time I would rather slap a brick on his proud face. There should be no problem with the supplies in the territory. ?”

Hood shook his head and said: "Don't underestimate our hoarding ability in the past few years. The current resources of Gloria are enough to support us until the end of the entire Violet Sea Campaign. But after that, there will be an obvious gap in our resources. , I’m afraid we will have to find a new way out by then.”

"The only thing worth being optimistic about is that this situation can be postponed." Huang Jiang pointed out that in the local warehouse of his sea fog system, there is also a gift from the game - the "Fearless Sea" Compensation mail, which is the legendary tonic pill.

That huge resource is enough to sustain the ship girls of Jialan for a long time. By then, they should be able to open a channel to the resource island.

The main resources for a ship girl to fight are steel and fuel.Steel comes from iron ore and coal, and fuel comes from petroleum.According to the existing intelligence, there is no need to worry about Iron Mine Huangjiang. If the relationship with Milton is really broken by then, Cycad Island will naturally be completely under his control, and the troops he deployed there will not be there. Under Milton.As for oil, Edelweiss Island in the south is the largest known oil resource island. As a last resort, Huangjiang had to launch a general attack on Edelweiss Island and strive to gain control of this oil island.

The only problem right now is coal.

From those Edelweiss survivors who once lived in this sea area, Huang Jiang knew clearly that there should be coal islands in the waters of Edelweiss Territory.After all, this former governor-general is also well-known throughout the federation for its rich mineral resources.But where exactly is Coal Island?This is still a question to consider.

Of course, before that, steel is the last thing Huang Jiang needs to worry about. After all, he holds the card of Jiagang in his hand, and there are still a lot of steel in stock. ,

"So, do you want me to find a way?" Hood said helplessly, "You really treat me as omnipotent."

Huang Jiang was full of confidence in Hu De: "You are the best at this kind of thing."

"What we are good at is being the suppressor." Hood said with a bitter look on his face, "It is a rare feeling to be suppressed. Anyway, let Ernest protest to the parliament first."

"Is it effective?" Huang Jiang expressed doubts about this.

Hood was very straightforward: "It's definitely useless. But we can use this to judge who are our enemies, who are our friends, and who can be won over. We are just a consul, and we can't fight against a governor-general. It’s a very irrational behavior for someone who is directly reporting to me.”

"Currently, the Tulip leader should be the only force dealing with us." Huang Jiang expressed his concern, "But I'm afraid other forces will come out to join us."

"Why?" Hood was confused for a while, then thought of something, and said suddenly, "Are you talking about market integration? Is it going to be carried out recently?"

"A series of basic measures such as units of measurement and trading system have been finalized in recent weeks." Huang Jiang said worriedly, "In other words, the large market in the entire federation will arrive soon, which is unprecedented. A great opportunity, but for young Jialan it is also the biggest crisis since its rise."

"Capital will do whatever it takes to annex the market." Hood pursed his lips and said, "I'm afraid we will be in a lot of trouble." "After all, we occupy the leading position in many emerging industries. It’s status.”

In many industries such as home appliances, generator sets, materials, etc., even if there is no integrated market, Jialanling still occupies a pivotal position in various markets.

At that time, in order to seize the market, under the bloody storm, it is very likely that the governor will suppress the Jialan Territory because of interests.

"In short, we must think of countermeasures." Huang Jiang said.

Hood also knows that everything needs enough filings to prevent being caught off guard by a sudden blow.

On the other side, the "Prawn" has completely entered the control of Tirpitz's fleet.The ship girls took turns in the battle, constantly spying on intelligence while also preventing the "prawn" from contacting nearby mirages through mirage communications to learn the corresponding situation.Although any of the ship girls present may not be afraid of the mirage in front of them, the information obtained through deception is always more practical than the information obtained through forced confessions through words and deeds.

After seeing Tirpitz's cartoon, "Prawn" also obviously relaxed her vigilance. In her eyes, the flagship of this team is undoubtedly a guy with "mirage characteristics".

"She seems to trust you completely?" Richelieu quietly came to Tirpitz's side.

Tirpitz was still looking at the cartoon in her hand. When she heard Richelieu's words, she raised her head and glanced at Prince Eugen and Bismarck who were talking over there, and said feebly: "It seems so."

"What method did you use?" Richelieu asked curiously, "At the beginning, the vigilance in her eyes was genuine."

"Nothing, I just took out a comic and read it." Tirpitz waved the comic in his hand.

"Comics? Mirage's?"

"No." Tirpitz smiled faintly, "It belongs to my friend."

"Friend?" Richelieu recalled carefully. There were not many ship girls with similar hobbies in the port area. "Who?"

"Deep Sea Tirpitz." Tirpitz said with shining eyes.

Richelieu staggered, barely stood still, and asked again: "Who? Did you say a name just now?"

"Deep Sea Tirpitz." Tirpitz said proudly, "I took all the trouble to snatch this comic from her hands. You can't blame me for this! If you blame her, blame her for reading the comic during the battle. , this is clearly desertion!"

"You are the least convincing with this sentence." Richelieu complained.

"But I didn't expect that she would be the same person..." Tirpitz looked down at the circled CP in the comic and said with some nostalgia.
