With the generous military assistance provided by the two state-level benefactors, Luo Zhengdao's privateer fleet with shotguns was completely renewed, and he couldn't help but feel a feeling of exhalation and eyebrows after inspecting the team under his command. (Please search, or enter directly to see the latest chapter) Soon, Luo Zhengdao suppressed this excitement, the first step of the Long March, and now the joy is too shallow.

Overthrowing the rule of the Goblin Empire over the main 6 is not something that can be done as soon as the upper lip touches the lower lip, similar to the old world's eternal perfection and emptiness, the diary to save the country and the map to open up the territory or something, in the end, it can only end up as a laughing stock. To launch a counteroffensive plan to regain lost territory in a down-to-earth manner, this thing is said to be light, but it is very difficult and dangerous to do!

If you lose your land, you will lose your land, and if you lose your land, you will gain all your land. Even if Luo Zhengdao has a college diploma, politics is only a semi-professional level of two or five eyes, and this kind of common sense level is not enough to be blind. In accordance with the aforementioned military principles, Luo Zhengdao wisely brought a group of loyal and reliable descendants from Qiongzhou, and then used this group of men as the backbone to continue to recruit professional pirates who were either greedy for huge profits or did not care who they worked for, thus forming this semi-regular pirate fleet. Today, as soon as Qiē seems to be on track, he is immediately faced with the next tricky choice.

Everyone who has read military history understands that the tactics of rogue bandits who do not run base areas can only bring endless destruction and cannot build a country.

At present, Luo Zhengdao, who has enough military strength, needs to find a piece of land that can be used to recuperate and lay a solid foundation, and start to build his own rear in a down-to-earth manner, and finally form a self-hematopoietic ability. Otherwise, even if it is a victorious army, as long as it is defeated once on the front line, then it will only be left to watch the desolate backs of his subordinates scatter.

For Luo Zhengdao, who holds the way of thinking of a traverser and does not take the usual path, the pirates under his command do not understand very clearly, in line with the simple idea of "although I don't understand it, I always feel that it is so powerful", these "unaware" subordinates still chose to obey Luo Zhengdao's instructions.

After the big parade of grass platforms, the whole fleet boarded the ship and began their busy daily work, with the one-eyed dragon Fore Chopin and first mate Brando Scarlet appearing in the captain's room of the flagship Avenger. The two of them placed a thick stack of papyrus on Luo Zhengdao's desk, and then Faure Chopin spoke:

"Lord Earl, according to your requirements, we have screened the island enclaves and rocks within the sea of stars, this is an alternative list, please make a decision!"

There is no need to doubt that the parchment paper made from cattle and sheep and other livestock skins, and even from monster leather, is absolutely excellent in terms of quality, resistant to storage and not afraid of flooding, and the only drawback is that the price is too expensive. Except for the large number of books for the temple, the mages, the naturalists, and the nobles, the average person would not dare to imagine that a report was written on parchment.

The papyrus in front of Luo Zhengdao is indeed much more affordable than parchment in terms of price, but the texture is too fragile and thin, especially after it is completely dry, the range of action is slightly larger, and the papyrus will shatter into a pile of unrecognizable scum in the blink of an eye. Luo Zhengdao, who was deeply dissatisfied with the simplicity of the writing materials in the new world, and felt a lot of inconvenience in the bush, was even more full of resentment, he couldn't imagine why the previous emperor of the traverser didn't climb the science and technology tree, since he had done countless great things in his life, you should also point out the technology of papermaking! How can you say that you are also from the Chinese cultural circle, since as a Chinese person, you don't even remember the classic Four Mings, it's too outrageous!

Muttering and grumbling, Luo Zhengdao skipped over the unfamiliar words and difficult passages, and finally his gaze fell on the last page of the stack of papyrus.

At this time, Luo Zhengdao raised his head and looked at the two subordinates, stretched out his hand and pointed to the papyrus, and said:

"This enclave is a big area and a good location, why did you put it last?"

Brando Scarlet leaned over to look at what was written on the papyrus, and immediately showed a sudden expression, explaining:

"Oh, Lord Count, this is the case. Wake Reef is a Gobi Desert that lacks fresh water and has little vegetation, and it is impossible to cultivate the land without water. Even though the sun is abundant, it still can't support long-term life, and if we choose to choose here, it will be enough to solve the problem of drinking water every day. ”

Hearing the sound, he moved the skill "Let me think twice", Luo Zhengdao closed his eyes and thought carefully for a while, then opened his eyes and said firmly:

"I love Wake Reef, what do you think?"

Faure Chopin was a loyal retainer of the Count of Flu, and he regarded the interests of the Count family above all else, even if he did not hesitate to rebel against the orders of the righteous path. Hearing Luo Zhengdao's arbitrary remarks, Old Fuer's face immediately turned red, and he slapped the table loudly and retorted loudly, saying:

"Lord Earl, the lack of water is a big problem, please forgive me for not being able to speak, where do you fancy it in a place like Wake Reef where birds don't?"

Compared with the excited old subordinates in front of him, Luo Zhengdao's appearance at this time was extraordinarily calm, and he waved his hand lightly and said:

"Hey, Faure, don't get excited! Let's take a look at the geographical location of Wake Reef, which is about 1,500 nautical miles away from the southeast coast of the main big 6, which is a three- or four-day voyage for the Yangwei. Whether we are attacking the ports of the eastern coast of the main 6, or using it to attack the merchant fleet, it is very suitable as a base to leave, and the harsh environment can prevent the goblins from using superior forces to besiege for a long time, isn't it an ideal base to advance? ”

This ambiguous reason did not convince Faul Chopin, and the old man retorted with a snort:

"Lord Earl, if you want to debate, I mean you can't do it, you have to think clearly, a desert island like Wake Reef is very difficult to open, and we don't have that much money to throw it down."

Seeing this, Brando Scarlet on the side also followed the help and said:

"Yes! Lord Earl, the amount of resources consumed to maintain a long-term life on Wake Reef is too great, so it is better to choose another island and reef to establish a base. ”

It seems that the two of them are talking about the truth, but Luo Zhengdao already has a fixed opinion in his heart, he narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth showed a meaningful smile, and said to himself:

"It doesn't matter, the difficulties can be overcome, I decided, the base will be on Wake Reef."

Seeing that his words were dry and he was powerless to persuade Luo Zhengdao to change his previous wrong decision, Faul Chopin and Brando Scarlet glanced at each other, shook their heads helplessly and fell silent. After a long time of silent confrontation, seeing that Luo Zhengdao had no intention of compromising and retreating, Faure Chopin had to reluctantly obey his order, and said unwillingly:

"If this is your final decision, I beg you, Lord Earl, to obey it, but I implore you to give serious consideration to this plan and not to waste your precious time and resources on this barren island."

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao laughed, he nodded and said:

"Very well, I need a detailed plan and timeline for Kaiwick Reef, as well as a budget sheet, so I'll ask you two to work this."

In the vast sea of stars that surrounds the periphery of the main 6, the number of island enclaves and reefs dotted with them is too numerous to count, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as bright as the stars, and the number of enclaves suitable for long-term settlement of intelligent races is far less numerous than it seems.

In the past few years, the many island enclaves that the goblin fleet sent troops to sweep were mostly colonies controlled by powerful countries such as the Bright Dynasty, the Yaling Empire, and the Elven Federation on the sea of stars, similar to the kind of small turtle countries established by the natives of the New World. The goblins did feel that their forces were insufficient, and in order to hunt down the human exiled nobles, the goblin pursuit fleet that had divided their troops into multiple ways was exhausted in the sea of stars, not to mention that the oil and water in the places that the major powers could not look down on were obviously not large.

Knowing that this is the case, why do goblins not eat the large pieces of fresh meat that are close in front of them, but prefer to gnaw on those tasteless hard bones, they are not stupid enough to lack this.

This Wake Reef, which Luo Zhengdao favors and his subordinates strive to oppose, is undoubtedly one of the hard bones that has no oil and water, and it is an uninhabited island with a large land area and an extremely bad natural environment.

Such a useless barren land, so bad that even the most hard-working plants can't hold on, and the intelligent races of the New World have a lot of choice, and they won't go to this kind of place with their heads soaked in water to do anything about real estate, so Wake Reef has always been a borderless land since it was ever. The so-called blank piece of paper is good for painting, although the natural environment here is harsh and unsuitable for living, which is a good thing for Luo Zhengdao, who has a weak family background. Just imagine, if you get a rich island, and then voluntarily or forcibly collect a large number of human exiles and run it prosperously, this place will become a dead hole that hinders Luo Zhengdao's freedom of action.

The goblin fleet is coming, and Luo Zhengdao's failure to meet the battle means that people are lost, and from then on he is regarded as a gutless rat, and he no longer expects anyone to take refuge. Facing the battle head-on, there is not necessarily much chance of winning, and if you don't even have to get into it yourself, it is tantamount to taking the initiative to find a rope sleeve to stick your neck into, and it is as stupid as waiting for a goblin to kick over the stool, this kind of stable and unprofitable business Luo Zhengdao will not do it.

The subordinates opposed Luo Zhengdao's insistence, and most of them thought that opening up a base on Wake Reef was purely a stupid act of stupidity, but when it was time to work, they would not disobey Luo Zhengdao's words.

Ten days later, Brando Scarlet, who was mainly responsible, rubbed a pair of panda eyes that had fallen all night and presented a document to Luo Zhengdao, saying:

"Lord Earl, this is the list of materials and construction schedule you need for Kaiwick Reef, you can see if there is anything that is not suitable, and I will revise it again."
