If you want to talk about the islands of the copper country, there are many famous in the world, among which the more famous is the Tierra del Fuego Islands.

This part of the archipelago, just at the southernmost tip of the South American continent, across the sea from Antarctica, is an important part of the Strait of Magellan.

This archipelago is stuck in transportation, so it is very famous, but it does not completely belong to the copper country, it is half of Argentina, and the most famous of them is Chiloe Island.

Another more famous island is Easter Island, which is far away from the copper country, located in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean, in the middle of the South American mainland and the island state mainland.

Because of the particularity of the geographical location, it has even been nicknamed the navel of the earth by many people, and because of the stone statues on the island, it has become very famous.

In addition to these two more famous islands, in fact, because of the long and narrow coastline, there is also a very large number of island groups.

The reason why these two islands are so famous, in addition to the geographical location is more important, is also because of the existence of these two islands, which has laid the huge sea territory of the copper country.

From Easter Island to Chiloe Island, plus the long and narrow land area of the Copper Country, the millions of square kilometers of sea surface in between are actually equivalent to the maritime territory of the Copper Country.

The Karapage Islands mentioned by Chen Yonglu are actually located in the middle of Easter Island and the Copper Kingdom, facing the direction of the land, which is the Ithaca region, and the reason why the descendants of the Taiping Army insisted on dividing this archipelago into their territory.

also saved the idea of leaving a way back, and the general of the Copper State at that time probably thought the same way, if these Chinese were disobedient, then drive them to those islands to fend for themselves.

Because of this, each has a ghostly mind, so this island group belongs to the Ithaca region.

The distance between this group of islands and the Ithaca region is not close, Xiao Feng estimates that it can be about a few hundred nautical miles, and if the sea conditions are good, driving a good boat, I am afraid it will take more than half a day.

If the sea conditions are not good, I am afraid that it will take a day or even two to reach the land.

The location of the whole island group is relatively southern, and according to the geographical understanding, the latitude is about the same as the latitude of the Dongshan Peninsula in Huaguo, but because all of them are islands and have a completely oceanic climate, the climate and environment are much better.

There is neither severe cold nor heat, and in terms of geological disasters, there is a typhoon season for one month a year, and it usually rains heavily, so there is nothing else.

It is a group of islands that are very suitable for human survival, but although the environment here is very good, it is not very famous in the territory of the copper country.

Even the government of the Copper Country deliberately ignores the meaning of this place, and usually does not promote it much at all.

On the one hand, it is because it is far away from the mainland, and on the other hand, it is also because the main ethnic groups living here are Chinese, and the Chinese blood here is relatively pure.

Because I live here all the year round, I don't have much communication with the local copper country, and I don't even participate in the election of the copper country, and my recognition of the copper country is relatively low, and this is the nest and autonomous territory of those Chinese families in Ithaca, so the government of the copper country does not promote it much.

The most important thing is that there is really nothing worth publicizing here, there are no mines, no money, and few people, so it is not worth paying attention to at all.

There are countless large island groups like this, and even many of them, in the millions of square kilometers of maritime territory of the Copper Country, which are not marked on the map at all, because they have no value at all.

After Xiao Feng and his yacht arrived at the Calapague Islands, Chen Yonglu did not rush to take them to the island, but took them around the islands a few times first.

"Our archipelago is composed of more than 100 small islands, of which there are more than a dozen large islands, four of which belong to several of our families, and the other islands are the common property of the ethnic group. The island radiates more than 30,000 square nautical miles, which is located in the Peruvian cold current zone and belongs to the core area of the copper country's fishing grounds. So we have a lot of fish here... ”

Chen Yonglu took Xiao Feng and them around the archipelago in a circle, and at the same time introduced the situation to Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng is also paying attention to the situation of these islands, the islands of the Carapague Archipelago are large and small, scattered, ranging from tens of square kilometers to hundreds of square kilometers, and hundreds of square kilometers to hundreds of square meters.

Most of the islands are tropical islands, many of which have beautiful beaches and many seabirds.

"Yes, guano is another great resource we have here, but after so many years of mining, the guano on many islands has been depleted, and no one is doing this kind of work now. People now live mainly on the five large islands in the core area. Four of the islands are the private islands of our four families, and the largest in the middle, Meihua Island, is the core administrative area, where the largest number of people live, more than 50,000 people... ”

"How much?"

Xiao Feng thought that he had heard it wrong, and couldn't help but ask, Chen Yonglu scratched his head in embarrassment: "That's right, it's more than 50,000 people, and the other four islands can add up to more than 10,000 people." ”

Xiao Feng sighed, no wonder the Copper Country doesn't pay attention to this place, what can happen to such a little person?

"More than a hundred years ago, our ancestors still attached great importance to this place, and we are guests in the copper country after all. At that time, our ancestors also considered that they might not be able to get along on the main road in the future, so they insisted on the archipelago here. But later, after more than 100 years of integrated development, everyone is very suitable for life on the mainland, and more and more people here go to the mainland. After all, it's too small, and there's no other way to make a living than to go out to sea. There wasn't even an internet, and electricity only existed in the sixties... ”

Chen Yonglu was slightly embarrassed to introduce the situation here, and Xiao Feng's heart was half cold when he heard it.

No wonder this guy was so generous before, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said that he could sell his island!

The cost of developing this desert island is too high, especially on such an island that is several hundred nautical miles away from the mainland.

Without the support of the state, it is difficult to develop such an island.

For example, the islands and reefs that China is now on in the South China Sea have been abandoned there for decades, and it is not until the last few years that the country's strength has become stronger and has gradually developed.

And now, if you develop these islands yourself, the amount of money invested will definitely be huge.

In fact, the development of these islands,It's nothing.,The key is how to control these islands.,In case you wait until you really develop these islands.,When someone jumps out to pick peaches.。。。

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng glanced at Chen Yonglu again, at this time, this guy was scratching his head, obviously knowing that his previous flickering was about to be exposed, so he was so embarrassed, from the god platform, he was still a real person.

More than a hundred islands are definitely not something that can be turned in one day, and Chen Yonglu probably took Xiao Feng to transfer dozens of the core area of the island group, and then drove to the core of Plum Blossom Island.

To be honest, in the process of traveling to Meihua Island, Xiao Feng found this group of islands very interesting.

This group of islands is centered on the plum blossom island in the middle, which is scattered in a circle, and in the sea area west of the plum blossom island, there are several large islands with an area of hundreds of square kilometers, but those islands are deserted.

The private islands of the Chen, Li, Weng and Mai families are located in the southeast, northwest, and northwest directions of Meihua Island, and the Chen family's island is located in the north of Meihua Island, which is a medium-sized island with an area of about 50 square kilometers.

According to Chen Yonglu, there are about 2,000 Chen family members living on the island, but most of them are left-behind elderly people, and young people have basically gone to the mainland to ask for living quarters.

After all, compared to the flower world over there, life on this island is too boring.

Meihua Island is a large island of just over 100 square kilometers, the island is very regular and round, there is an extinct volcano in the center of the island, and there are several hoobers at the foot of the volcano, which can just provide fresh water for the people living on the island.

The rest of the island is mostly plains with very dense vegetation, but only a small part of it has been developed to grow some grain and vegetables.

According to Chen Yonglu, the products here are too abundant, find a good place, a fishing rod can catch several big fish a day, there are fish and meat to eat every day, who still regards rice and noodles as a staple food?

Therefore, there are not many people farming, and there is no shortage of living materials for the local people, but the spiritual culture is relatively empty.

On the west and north sides of the island, there are two wharves, not large enough to park some fishing boats, and it is not far to walk along the road from the wharf, which is the administrative center of Meihua Island.

Post offices, pharmacies, hospitals, schools, government administrations, and even a small police station are all crowded here, with a few streets stretching out next to them, and the island's residential areas are on either side.

As soon as he landed on the island, seeing the faces of the residents here, Xiao Feng didn't feel cordial, although they were all mixed-race, but it could be seen that the degree of mixing was not deep, and the characteristics of the Chinese were still obvious.

Moreover, the streets are full of Chinese signs and various Chinese billboards, and children laughing on the streets, as well as leisurely old people, all speak Chinese.

The old people all speak Cantonese, or Mandarin with a heavy accent, and the young people and children speak standard Mandarin, which makes Xiao Feng feel a lot more relieved.

After Chen Yonglu landed on the island, he was also very happy, according to him, this is his hometown, and he grew up here when he was a child.

Because it was already afternoon, they hadn't eaten much since the morning, so Chen Yonglu directly took Xiao Feng and Jesse to the only shopping mall on the island to eat.

It is said to be a shopping mall, but in fact, it is almost the same as the wholesale market in the fourth-tier cities in China, that is, it is much cleaner and tidier.

There is a food street dozens of meters long, and there are several restaurants in the sparse Lala, and Chen Yonglu beckoned them into one of them.
