Chapter 71: Special Industries

In a newly built shaded pergola by the beach, Makarov was lying shirtless on a wooden lounge chair and basking in the sea breeze.

Since the siege of the indigenous station a few weeks ago, the entire Flying Fish Bay base on Christmas Island has not been subjected to large-scale indigenous attacks, although occasionally a few small indigenous people hide in the shadows to carry out sneak attacks, but none of them have caused harm to the people and property in the base.

According to Lieutenant Ho's estimates, there are no indigenous tribes with more than 200 people in the entire Christmas Island. He relied on the fact that the entire base had not been attacked again by the drums in three weeks.

However, before the entire island was searched, He Yu still did not dare to relax his vigilance and lift his vigilance, and every day a squad of soldiers patrolled back and forth around the entire base, although there were not many weapons and ammunition, but there was still a surplus to deal with one or two indigenous attacks.

It was only said that the supplies from Batavia were transported two weeks later than the actual situation, and almost caused the entire Flying Fish Bay base to fall into a food crisis, but fortunately, a lot of hungry wild fruits were seized from the natives' nests.

It wasn't until yesterday evening that the supply ship from Batavia docked at the improvised pier in Flying Fish Bay, and during the refit of the Sea Blue, the entire Christmas Island supply would be handled by the embassy in Batavia, and Liu Yun hired two local Dutch ships, in addition to carrying the necessary food and some plant seeds suitable for the rainforest, and also brought him a total of more than 110 men and women, all of whom were searched from around Batavia, including technicians and farmers.

In addition, there are more than a dozen special service workers, most of whom are from Japan and Eastern European countries, who were specially recruited at Xiao Baitu's request.

In Xiao Baitu's planning, Christmas Island to achieve self-hematopoietic function must have several pillar industries, Christmas land is narrow and sparsely populated, in addition to the primitive rainforest dense, flat land is less, it is very unsuitable for the development of industry, in the later generations of Christmas Island in addition to mining phosphate ore there is almost no modern industry, daily necessities completely rely on imports, tourism is quite developed.

It's just that in the world of the 17th century, what do you say to people to travel to the sea, I'm sorry, people don't think they have a long life, whether it is the princes and nobles of Europe or the rich people of the East, they are still more afraid of the sea, although many of them have gained huge profits through maritime trade, but it is still difficult for them to give up their rich life to travel to any island.

For the princes and nobles and rich people, Xiao Baitu did not take a fancy to it, his target was on the sailors who ran the ship and the generally relatively small maritime merchants, these people came out for ten days and half a month, once they left the port and entered the vast sea, what they saw every day was the vast sea, as soon as they went ashore, they must first find a delicious restaurant to eat a delicious meal, and some of the more wealthy and interesting guys will immediately find a bathhouse to take a bath or find a special service shop to go in and have a good time.

"Sergeant Major Makarov, there is a situation, the lieutenant told you to report to the barracks immediately." Yu Shan, who was carrying a rifle on his back, leisurely reported to his boss who was resting on a wooden chair.

"Yu Shan, are you sure, today is my public holiday," Makarov looked at Yu Shan who walked leisurely with a look of disbelief, if there was really a situation, this guy would have run over a long time ago, and he would be so leisurely.

"Head, I brought the lieutenant's words, if you don't believe it, don't blame me for being punished."

"Okay, then I'm believing you once, if I let me know that you dare to lie to me, you won't want to run away from the next field physical training for recruits." The reason why Makarov warned him was because he had been tricked by Yu Shan twice during his vacation, so he was more cautious about Shan.

At this time, in the barracks, it is said that the barracks are actually in the defensive wooden walled city connected to the government station on Christmas Island, because the construction of the entire base has not been completely built, so the current division is not very clear.

"Brother Xiao, are we really going to open casinos and beauty salons this time, is this matter a bit urgent, what if the executive committee investigates it then." Lieutenant He Yu's immature face showed a trace of worry, worried about those feminists in Australia, don't look at the usual kindness, but there is no way to launch the executive committee, the beauty salon knows what it does, and the casino is okay, but the beauty salon is open is not equivalent to supporting men to get married**.

"What are you afraid of, the emperor is far away, what to say, let me tell you that this is Christmas Island, here is our biggest, not to mention beauty salons, casinos, we have to engage in special industries that can be engaged, my goal is to build this place into the most attractive island and paradise on the sea in the 17th century."

Listening to the eldest brother who was born as a sales manager, He Yu was also stunned, as early as when Xiao Baitu wanted to develop a special industry, he had already informed him, although he knew that he had that determination, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, in his impression, at least he had to wait for the housing to be built, and the vegetable planting base would be done before it started.

It wasn't until yesterday that the supply ship in Batavia brought all kinds of daily necessities and all kinds of talents, and he knew that the Gan ** family had already calculated it, even if his military attache stationed on Christmas Island did not agree.

"He Yu, don't worry, your task is only to protect the government staff on the island, even if you are held responsible, you are not a big deal, it is difficult to send you to a military court, I am secretly telling you something, these industries are not only my shares, but also Commissioner Zhao's." At this time, Zhao Shijie, who was far away in Manchester City, did not know that Xiao Baitu had betrayed him.

"Really, Brother Xiao, you didn't lie to me." He Yu suddenly heard the three words of Committee Member Zhao, and the worries in his heart immediately disappeared, and the officials as big as the members of the People's Republic of China have all joined the shares, and it is not a big problem for me to earn some pocket money by just joining a small share as a small officer.

"I am much more relieved to have Brother Xiao's words, if someone rushes to make trouble in casinos and beauty salons in the future, even if you let me know, the soldiers under your command will arrive immediately."

"Haha, is that right, everyone earns money together, will you Brother Xiao and I harm you," the reason why Xiao Baitu wanted to pull He Yu into the shares was to let the military be used as a thug in these places for free, after all, there are no idle professional thugs on Christmas Island now.

"Report, Lieutenant, you're looking for me." Makarov's loud report interrupted the conversation between Xiao Baitu and He Yu.

"Sergeant Makarov, it's on vacation, you don't have to be so nervous, I asked you to come here to explain one thing to you, He Yu glanced at Xiao Baitu and continued: Yesterday, those Eastern European dancers and Japanese women, I think you saw them, as for what they do, I don't need to tell me."

"Yes, Lieutenant, you can tell how many women they are by way of dress and demeanor." Makarov nodded honestly and said, because among those Eastern European women there is one of his fellow countrymen, oh, oh my God, will the lieutenant think that my hometown is a place for a few women.

"Well, in the future, casinos and beauty salons will be opened on the island, which is a special service industry, you are responsible for taking care of it, I said so, you understand."

"Yes, Lieutenant, I promise that if anyone makes trouble on Christmas Island, I'll make his head bloom."

"No, no, Sergeant Makarov, you didn't understand what I meant, I just let you be responsible for teaching someone a lesson when they make trouble, not for you to get killed." He Yu emphasized with a serious face, this is a major event related to the future of making money, and it must be explained clearly.
