Chapter 587: Paracel Islands

After the inspection of the island, Hathaway came to Arling. Hegel's headquarters, the ink-stained chart hanging on the wall, aroused Hathaway's infinite interest.

Obviously, the chart was not completely finished, and there were still many traces of revisions or determinations, except for the west side, where the location of each city and port and offshore island could be clearly marked, and the sea area slightly away from the coastline appeared empty.

"The sea is the starting point of human conquest......

This sentence is evocative for a long time, and Hathaway even subconsciously recited it silently and chewed it carefully

Longmen Island is prominently marked on the chart, and a series of small islands marked in the sea northeast of Longmen Island caught Hathaway's attention.

"Uncle Hegel, is this the small archipelago you found?"

"Yes, my lord. This small archipelago consists of seven islands, each of which is no more than 10 nautical miles apart. These islands have good vegetation and fresh water resources, except for the area is smaller, all other aspects of the conditions are quite good, especially the rugged cliff shore is naturally ring-shaped, very suitable for ships to anchor and avoid storms, there is about 1,800 nautical miles away from the Bristol Islands in the southwest, 3,800 nautical miles away from the South Ocean mainland to the west, and 2,200 nautical miles away from the Blue Ocean continent to the east, it can be said that it is just in the center of the North Ocean, and the location is very good. ”

"What's their name?" Hathaway asked.

"They haven't been named yet, just waiting for you, Lord Lord, to name them, but we've inscribed the Thornbird insignia in a prominent position on the seven islands. Anyone who comes to the island should know that it is your territory. "Ah Ling. Hegel replied with a smile.

"Well, that's good, I really want to go and walk in person, but unfortunately I don't have time." Hathaway said with some regret: "The overall name is ...... The Paracel Islands, those seven small islands...... Let's name those islands after the red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. ”

"Understood, we will immediately mark it on the chart as you instruct."

Hathaway sat down, "Uncle Hegel, you're exploring faster than I thought, the South Seas Continent is indeed an unexplored land, but do you think we should expand on the South Seas Continent now?" You should know that I am now more than I can do. On the Ostegar side. I also had to put a lot of energy into there, which is where our roots are, and without that, we would be rootless duckweed. ”

"Your Excellency. Of course I understand. But if you don't want to be limited to just the blue ocean continent. Then you have to pay attention to the northern ocean, I remember a philosopher once said that he wanted to conquer the continent. The oceans must be controlled first. The Northern Ocean will provide you with easy and fast access to your territory, and its transportation capacity is not comparable to that of the land route.

And now, the South Ocean continent is in the early stage of development, and there are already many countries and city-states that have begun to organize expeditions and colonization, and the countries and city-states along the coast of the Southern Ocean seem to be beginning to realize this, and if we can't even seize the favorable opportunity now, I am afraid that we will lose the opportunity that has been achieved. ”

Ah Ling. Hegel's tone was sincere. He could understand Hathaway's current troubles, but responsibility forced him to tell Hathaway what was going on.

Everyone has realized the importance of the ocean, and the continuous discoveries on the Nanyang continent have made more and more people have a strong interest in the Nanyang continent, which has also led countries and city-states to explore the ocean and the Nanyang continent......

Hathaway was silent.

Why didn't she know the importance of the South Sea Continent, the Blue Ocean Continent had been completely exploited, and all the usable land had been trampled by human footprints, but what about the Visionary Continent? Apart from the scattered colonies along the coast, no one has even been able to actually walk to the other edge of the South Seas continent.

Which is more important? Hathaway concludes that both are indispensable.

But can you take care of it with your own limited strength?

As if reading the distress in Hathaway's gaze, Arling. Hegel pondered for a moment before he said: "My lord, maybe we can't run the South Sea Continent with all our strength like other countries and city-states now, but we have the advantage of the sea, and those fleets that have been active in Hathaway all the year round have not taken advantage of their advantages, so I thought we could use our advantage to suppress and delay as much as possible." ”

"Are you sure?"

"At least this will bring us closer to the rest of the forces to the greatest extent possible, so that we will not lose the opportunity to catch up later." Ah Ling. Hegel muttered.

"That's all there is to it. Uncle Hegel, you can decide what to do with it, as for the funds and strength, I will satisfy you to the fullest, and you don't need to have any scruples about recruiting and using it in terms of personnel, everything is up to me," Hathaway seemed to have made up her mind.

Ah Ling. Hegel's eyes lit up eagerly, and he nodded heavily

"Ah Ling. Hegel, you are quite right when you say that sea power belongs to the future, and we cannot afford to lose it, so we must preemptively fight for the commanding heights. ”

Hathaway slapped lightly on the table, revealing a psychedelic dream in her tone, "This world provides us with a big stage for performances, and the earth will be the light gathering point of the big stage, I hope we can make good use of this opportunity to create a glorious scene, so that history will remember us clearly, so that we will not regret it when we grow old." ”

……

"Yale Harbor was attacked by pirates, and the lord wisely annihilated it!" What happened in the Cordillera attracted a lot of attention in the first place.

At first, when the situation was not clear, these nobles were busy preparing for defense.

It wasn't until it became clear that the other party's target was only Yale Port that their attitude changed from defensive at the beginning to a wait-and-see now.

In Mandy Gaza City, in a luxurious mansion, a viscount who has already shown his old state is sipping fruit wine with great interest.

Hearing the report of his subordinates, his brows frowned slightly, and then, a little depressed, he said: "Quickly repelled the pirate attack?" The strength of the city defense army is not weak! ”

Gently lowering the glass in his hand, he said to the man, "I already know." You go and pay attention to what is going on, what progress is made, and report to me at any time. ”

"Yes, sir." The man was commanded to go down.

The nobles here reacted in much the same way, it was nothing more than a pirate!

However, those who really knew the news were shocked.

Early in the morning, brilliant light. Rising from the east. Constantly moving upward, the blue sky is full of white clouds, it is really a good weather.

In the small garden behind the nature church. Competitive mechanism archbishop. I am standing with a regional bishop. Looking at the flowers blooming in the garden, their expressions were a little gloomy.

The cardinal archbishop said slowly: "I really didn't expect it. A small neck, how can you have such a strong strength, as the bishop of the territory of the Eske Kingdom, don't you have anything to say to me? ”

The regional bishop Alain. Stephen was silent for a moment, and then said, "Your Excellency, in the matter of the Cordillera Lead, I confess that at the beginning, I did fail to investigate, and a person like him should not be an enemy of our church easily, and if he becomes our enemy, he should be executed with thunder...... I admit that I was wrong and ask the archbishop to punish. ”

"No, you're not completely wrong, although you shouldn't wait for her to become strong because you've made a bad deal with her, but no one knows about it." The archbishop sighed softly: "We all underestimated the development potential of this young man, and now she has the strength that even we have to be cautious." It's impossible to kill her without paying a price. ”

"Yes, Archbishop, what you say is that we were indeed negligent." Alan. Stephen said with a look of shame on his face.

The archbishop glanced at him lightly: "However, this time, the two sides of the war are both outsiders of our Natural Church, and the battle between them is very beneficial to us, especially the Balia Empire, which is a very strong ally, from this point of view, perhaps, Hathaway is alive, and it is still very useful for us." ”

……

Hathaway's inspection of the Navy ended in a relatively peaceful situation, and no one thought that she would travel at this time, but Hathaway knew that it would not be beneficial for anyone to tear her face at this time, and things had not yet reached the point of a public rupture, and it would take time to ease and adjust.

Hathaway watched all these changes with cold eyes, she met with the rulers of many countries in a hurry, and she could not hide her doubts and fears in a polite manner, Hathaway could understand, but not everyone was conservative about Hathaway's arrival, maybe only then could they get out of their current difficult situation, no matter how it changed, at least better than their current situation...... They firmly believe in that.

Hathaway did not take her stance lightly, as the spokesperson of the Northern Otiga Empire, she needs to maintain a steady image, she will do what she says, and she hopes that when she first appears in the Southern Ocean region in this capacity, she can leave such an impression - the future is long.

……

In the early winter, the snow fell one after another, and the city of Maple Dew was shrouded in a solemn snowscape, with five-needle pines and spruce trees standing side by side on both sides of the street, and some of the dirty streets were covered with heavy snow, but immediately after the carriage ran over them, they revealed their pale black colors, mixed with mud and garbage, but made the whole street scene look chaotic.

Dietrich stood by the window and watched the street scene quietly outside the window, the burgundy curtains were half open, and the orange flame in the fireplace warmed the whole living room, and the heat was diffused everywhere, making people want to take off their coats as soon as they entered the house.

The long body stood there straight, its head raised high...... From the back and from the side, Ditrich looks like a living work of art.

The crisp "crackling" sound of burning wood in the fireplace adds a touch of life to the quiet atmosphere, and the interior is warm as spring, but Dietrich's mood is as cold as the snow outside the window.

Those guys are just too much

The people of Moleka and the Church of Nature do not have a good thing, Dietrich has an inexplicable sadness in his heart, it is not that no one has reminded himself that the fake help of those guys is definitely a bait wrapped in sweet sugar packets, once swallowed, I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to get out, but I always fantasize that these guys can come to reward them after the success of the matter...... I seem to have forgotten that these guys are not the vassal lords of the Fei Wenli family, they are just a group of vicious wolves who are ready to participate in enjoying the fat of Otiga.

It's hard to ride a tiger, and you can't stop it, this is Dietrich's current mentality and situation, of course, it can't be said that these guys didn't play a role at all, at least they gathered force to objectively stop the possibility of further invasion from the eastern armed forces, damn it, all this is the disaster caused by Hathaway, the insatiable crocodile

Dietrich found himself in the midst of a group of red-eyed beasts, their snorts seemed to touch their bodies, and the greedy gasps could almost be heard behind the wolves of the Northern Alliance, above them were the orcs who were choosing to devour people, opposite Colmer's crocodile still licking its mouth and teeth, and above him was a group of hungry eagles of the Church of Light circling above him

The crocodile wants to devour itself in one bite, the wolf wants to tear off its flesh little by little, the food in the tiger's belly has been almost digested, and the hungry eagle is looking for the most suitable part for them to attack.

"Your Highness, the envoy of the Molaika Empire has arrived, and is now waiting in the living room." The attendant walked in quietly, as if sensing that his master was in a bad mood, and said as slowly as possible.

I am confident that I will *********** hit the water for 3,000 miles in 200 years***********

Introduction to "New Yipin Xiuzhen" (end):

Or don't wear it! One Wear Addiction!

A work mistake by the four gods of Fengyun and thunder and lightning led to the destruction of the body of the fourteen-year-old girl Shen Yueying, and what is even more excessive is that in order to prevent Hades from discovering their work mistakes, these four irresponsible guys actually tricked Moon Shadow into a place called the Amadeus Continent to be reborn.

The magic weapon is a catty, the flying sword is in a box, as long as you have money, the elixir can also be wholesaled, Yamadeus - just the first stop of the crossing!

This time, it can be regarded as finding the murderer who crossed over, and it can be regarded as a wronged person and a debtor. However, it seems that most of the compensation of the Four Heavenly Monarchs cannot be paid immediately, and I don't know when it will be fully cashed out? Thinking about it, the heroine is really hard, first she was struck by lightning, and then she fell into the sea, it can be described as a twist and turn, after experiencing so many things, shouldn't Jitai come?
