Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 695 Oil Steel Community

As I said before, Huang Jiang does not need to rely on those rebellious nobles to deal with Milton for the time being, because he has more suitable cards in his hand.

That is the resource.

The moment Edelweiss Island was captured, Milton's vision of blocking the development of Jialan was destined to be shattered.Today, Jialan has its own iron ore island and coal island. The resources for refining steel are basically self-sufficient. And this time it has Edelweiss Island, a large oil island, and fuel supply is no longer a problem.

Other territories may be afraid of sitting on a treasure mountain without technological development, but Gloria Territory does not have this problem at all.Although the Materials Research Institute originally established by Huang Jiang to solve the problem of aluminum shortage failed to develop cheap materials that could replace aluminum resources as a supply resource for aircraft carriers, it allowed Jialanling's smelting technology to flourish.Nowadays, there is no one in the entire Blue Federation who can completely suppress Jialan.

Huang Jiang never thought that he could really occupy Edelweiss Island.Because the territory adjacent to Edelweiss Island is not just Jialan, but also a powerful governor-general.As one of the few governors with Poseidon, Gibran's combat power can be said to be the best in the federation.

But why didn't Luwei Flower Collar recapture this Edelweiss Island?Huang Jiang once believed that Edelweiss Island was a very powerful force, and even Gibran did not dare to provoke it easily.

But in this battle, he didn't feel the power of Edelweiss Island at all.

what is the reason behind the scene?

Huang Jiang still can't figure this out.Perhaps it was because the pressure exerted by the Humboldt-German Front in the south was so great that Lu Weihualing could not go all out to eat this delicious piece of hot tofu...

In short, the return of Edelweiss Island has greatly increased the potential of Gloriosa.Even before mass production on Edelweiss Island, other forces are already ready to take action.Clover's overture can be said to be the best manifestation of this phenomenon.

Of course, friendship cannot be permanent, because the development of Gloryland will always threaten other people.

Especially tulip collars and carnation collars.The former is due to population and appearance, while the latter is due to pure competition.In fact, when it comes to competition, the competition between Jialan and Sunflower Collar is the most intense. As one of the few territories in the Federation that has completed industrialization, the products of both parties are competing with each other in every field.Huang Jiang doesn't know what Emily thinks, but he still agrees with this kind of healthy competition.

And the competition with Carnation Collar is not a healthy competition.Originally, there was no friendship between the two parties, it was just a simple exchange of interests.As the technology of Malan Island becomes increasingly mature, Jialan Shipbuilding Industry relies on Jialan's huge industrial system behind it to seize the low-end shipping industry at an unusually low price, and is gradually moving towards the high-end.The exposure of the Sea Spirit Mothership made the Malan Island Shipyard instantly famous. Orders came in loudly, and a lot of carnation orders were grabbed at once.

The shipbuilding industry is one of the economic pillars of Carnation. This kind of competition caused Carnation to suffer heavy losses, and naturally it also resented Carnation.

The most irritating thing is that the sea soul mothership Carnation Ling, which will allow Malan Island to become its master, has not yet been built.According to the information Huang Jiang sent over at the beginning, they could only manufacture a power generation device that matched one renovation equipment.

Closer to home.

As long as a few resource islands enter formal mining, Gloria will officially get rid of the dilemma of resource shortage, and Milton's blockade will naturally be useless.However, Huangjiang will not stand still until it obtains a bauxite island and a corresponding buffer zone.The aircraft carrier is currently the most convenient combat force used by Huangjiang (and the most painful to use). Without the aircraft carrier, Huangjiang will not be able to implement many tactics.

At noon the next day, Huang Jiang finally returned to Jialan Island.After letting Firefly go out to play, Huang Jiang returned to Jialan Deacon Mansion alone.

Lexington has been waiting there for a long time.

"How is it?" Lexington put down the pen in his hand and asked. "The first olive branch." Huang Jiang said.

"It seems that the effects of Edelweiss Island and the Sea Soul Mothership are slowly showing up." Lexington laughed.

"Sea Soul Mothership." Huang Jiang sat down, "Even if we want to export it to the outside world, we don't have the ability."

"We are short of regular Sea Soul Motherships ourselves, so of course it is impossible to export them to the outside world." Lexington said very skillfully, "But by referring to the old Iris, we can definitely make a large number of Sea Soul Motherships modified by resource ships. , for the governor and the wealthy consul, this money is nothing."

"Resource ship? It's a good choice." Huang Jiang thought of the escort aircraft carriers during World War II. Most of them were converted from cargo ships and oil ships. Their combat effectiveness was very weak. Sometimes they could only be used to transport aircraft, and their bodies Very crispy.

Of course, brittleness also has the advantage of being brittle, that is, it will not be a problem even if it takes a few rounds of Yamato cannons (London is shocked).

And the sea soul carrier in this world is different from the aircraft carrier, it does not have the function of combat itself, it is just a water platform that provides logistics supplies for the sea soul.The problem with modified ships like the Iris is that they are too fragile, but if you think about it carefully, will most buyers really expand overseas in a big way?They may just buy it because others have it and they can’t live without it.

"What's going on with Thors?" Huang Jiang asked a question that he was most concerned about now, which could almost affect Huang Jiang's career as governor.

"He is having a meeting with oil tycoons on Wengzhu Island." Lexington said with a smile, "Don't worry, this guy is very oily, don't underestimate the old sailor."

"I'm not worried about Thors." Huang Jiang laughed at something funny. "I heard that among the tycoons attending the meeting, several of them were Thors' former bosses. This guy is really 'Broadly covered'?"

"In his words, to survive," Lexington said.

The meeting that Thors is currently holding on Wengzhu Island is the latest Oil and Steel Community Peace Conference.

This organization was originally established by Huangjiang to alleviate the fuel crisis and conduct oil and steel exchanges with Wengzhu Island. Now it has grown and developed.

Moreover, the development trajectory of the oil and steel community is basically consistent with the development trend of Jialanling.When it was first established, this community was just a regional organization. If Gibran hadn't been involved, no one would have paid attention to it.With the development of Jialan Ling, especially the rapid rise of Jialan Steel Group, the weight of this organization began to gradually increase.

Immediately afterwards, organized by Thors and Kaleki, most of the steel groups in the entire federation joined the Oil and Steel Community.During this period, this organization was actually a tool for the steel tycoons to distribute their own interests.

As Jiagang became the largest steel group in the federation, the Oil and Steel Community suddenly had the ability to control steel transactions in the federation.Of course, this ability has gone through countless exchanges of interests. For this reason, Jiagang gave up its monopoly in the field of construction steel and shared a small amount of data.

Now that Edelweiss Island has returned, Huang Jiang can finally reach out to another part of the oil and steel community.
