Seeing that the discussion was about to be pushed aside, Gu Jin waved his hand and spoke:

"Everyone, everyone! Don't be crooked, but let me talk about my opinion first. ”

At this time, Gu Jin spoke, so everyone immediately shut up, Gu Jin glanced at the map, nodded and said to Ren Ke:

"This place is called the Kay Islands, I used to pass by them when I was running the ocean in the old world, and from a distance, it is indeed a beautiful island, and there is no other information.

If it's just a halfway supply, there are many islands to choose from, so why here, Ren Ke, you can go on, it's better to be specific. ”

"Yes, Captain, the suggestion of our Fire Pond Club is that we should send someone to land in this place, this is not only a halfway supply place, but also shelter from the wind, and this is also the spice planting base suggested by Uncle Wang, because the tropical climate conditions here are suitable for growing many kinds of spices, nutmeg and cloves are just two of the dozens of spices, well, I won't go far about these, we strongly recommend that the specific landing site this time is a narrow bay in the south of Little Cay Island, which is an excellent shelter from the wind, And geographically, it is just near our northbound route to the South Seas. ”

"The problem is that it's close to the heart of the Spice Islands?! Will we meet the Dutch? ”

Someone in the crowd asked questions.

"That's not it, the Moluccasa archipelago is very large, the core stronghold of the Dutch is in Ambon, six hundred kilometers away from the island of Kay, although there is also a port called Gran is a little closer, but it is only a seasonal stronghold, the Dutch just go there regularly to find natives to buy nutmeg and cloves, and leave after the acquisition, and at present, in the computer library, there is no historical record that the Dutch in the old world have landed on the Cay Islands."

Ren Ke replied seriously.

"The Dutch don't want us, and the location here seems to be very important for our northbound route......"

At this time, someone in the crowd responded, so Ren Ke continued to elaborate:

"Yes, you can see the situation in the southern seas of the South Seas, more than a hundred years ago, the Portuguese built a stronghold in Timor, about eight hundred kilometers southwest of the island of Cay, and the Dutch established a stronghold in Kupang to the west and Ambon in the northeast.

When Ren Ke said this, he glanced at the group who were quietly listening before continuing:

"As the Fire Pond Club has discussed, according to historical records, neither the Dutch, the Portuguese nor the English have ever reached the island of Caï, but the Portuguese and Dutch occasionally have ships passing through the open sea of the Cay Islands, which is obviously a place that has been neglected by all forces, but which has an extremely important strategic position, especially for us."

"Is it the opinion of your Fire Pond Club that you want to completely occupy this archipelago as a stronghold for the north?"

Gu Jin suddenly interjected and asked.

"Yes, for the various forces from the north, the islands south of the Spice Islands are actually not of much strategic significance, but for us, these islands are of great significance, in addition to being our forward base, spice cultivation base, they can also play a role in supplying us on the way."

Ren Ke immediately answered Captain Gu's question with a serious face.

Seeing that Captain Gu was silent, everyone was still listening, and then Wei @ Hong also stood up and said:

"This is the fundamental opinion of the Huotang Club after the deduction, and we believe that this matter is related to our future development strategy, which is of great strategic significance, because we are playing a big game of chess......

In the end, Wei @ Hong added an old-fashioned evaluation again, since there is Sylvie who needs to take care of herself, ** will be old-fashioned from time to time, and it seems that the past has been judged like two people, but obviously, the last sentence is indeed a bit pretending to be forced in front of everyone, so it immediately caused everyone's complaints:

"Haha, you people in the Huotang Club are always playing all kinds of big chess."

"Don't you feel tired of always making trouble?"

"They don't feel tired, but they feel awesome......"

"Yes, yes, I've heard of it, and it's been called a plan of action with various names......"

"However, after all, this is an uninhabited desert island, there is no labor and no sisters, anyway, I'm not interested, do I want to immigrate to the island? So you won't have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to play the strategic significance you are talking about? ”

"yes, what are you going to do when you land there? Looking at the desolate land, do you think about the ancient feelings? ”

"It's okay to occupy it, it's how to build. What can we do without immigrants to fill there? ”

Facing everyone's questioning, Wei @ Hong and Ren Ke seemed to have something to say, Captain Gu discovered this situation in time, he shook his hand at everyone, let the venue be quieter, and then turned his head to Wei @ Hong beside him and said:

"Xiao Wei Xiaoren, tell me what you think."

"Yes...... That's right......"

Hearing Captain Gu personally call names, Wei @ Hong was a little nervous at first, but finally began to elaborate.

"Uh...... It's obviously a three-legged pair, right? The Spice Islands are the center of spice trade in this era, and the spice trade is the main item of trade between the East and the West in the Age of Discovery, you see, the Dutch are in Ambon in the northwest, and the Portuguese are in Timor in the southwest. Am I right? ”

"Well, that makes sense, but we don't want to get involved in the spice trade at the moment......"

Someone in the crowd responded.

"That being said, but Elder Wang once told me that as far as he comes up with a single product about the spice trade in this world, he can give us a complete monopoly!"

At this time, Aelosh suddenly interjected next to him.

"What's that? Don't tell me it's MSG! ”

Wei @Hong nodded immediately when he heard this, and he continued with Irush's words:

"Well, it's not monosodium glutamate or anything, Master Wang is talking about a seasoning called five-spice powder, which is a compound seasoning made of various different recipes, much better than a single nutmeg or cloves, Master Wang said, don't worry about seeds or anything, he has them, but some varieties in five-spice powder need suitable climatic conditions to be planted."

"Wei @ Hong, you say be more careful."

At this time, Gu Jin showed some interest.

"Hmm...... When Brother Ren and I were helping out on the ranch farm, Uncle Zhu also mentioned to us, he said that if he could find a desert island in Nanyang and sow seeds, he could sell pickled food made with five-spice powder to the world! So the Dutch, Portuguese spice trade is really nothing in our eyes......"

"Wei @Hong, you're right, but because of that, there's no need for us to clash with the Dutch right now, right? Not to mention fighting for turf. It's a little close to Ambon for the Dutch, and I'm afraid the Dutch will know sooner or later......"

"I'm not afraid if I know, are we still afraid of anyone? When the time comes, drive the Nicole to Ambon......"

"Forget it, you know how to fight, like you, how can I do business with others?"

"Don't argue about that, listen to me."

At this time, Gu Jin spoke again.

"Xu Zhi, there are more uninhabited desert islands in the South China Sea, in the old world, even in the 21st century, the uninhabited desert islands in the South China Sea account for more than 80% of the total number of islands!

Therefore, it is not difficult for us to find an uninhabited desert island to grow spices.

So, there should be other important reasons for the Huotang Club's proposal to land on Kay Island, right? I'm afraid it's not just the geographical location, please continue. ”

After Gu Jin finished speaking, he looked at Xu Zhi, who was the first to raise this topic.
