Chapter 346: Rebuilding the Seven Immortals Islands
Let's not talk about 100 million gold coins, let's take 50 million gold coins as an example. The purchased supplies are enough for 10 million people for three months. Ordinary islands, on the other hand, cannot be used as a real sea transit. Therefore, no one is willing to make this kind of investment unless it is absolutely necessary.
Of course, if you come across a large island, or an archipelago of size, the investment is well worth it. However, the probability of discovering these islands from the sea is really too low. If you want to use Kunpeng to explore from a high altitude like Lao Jiu, then the probability is much higher.
Lao Jiu ordered martial law for the entire Seven Immortals Islands, and then let all the fleets on the island not be allowed to sail far. And he brought Dumb, and then every night, he would go out on patrol with Dumb. Because he needs to be the first to grasp the movements of the South American fleet.
Not to mention, in the next ten days, Lao Jiu really discovered the fleet of the South American Alliance. What made Lao Jiu breathe a sigh of relief was that the fleet of the South American Alliance actually passed from the southwest of the Seven Immortals Islands, and looking at their course, it was actually pointing directly at the empire on which the sun never set.
And their fleet, when it was closest to the Seven Immortals Islands, was only a few tens of kilometers. This made Lao Jiu have to sigh, and he didn't know if it was the bad luck of the South American Alliance, or Lao Jiu's bad luck.
If the fleets of the Easy Empire and the South American Union meet, there will certainly be an inevitable big war. And with the current maritime strength of the Easy Empire, it is very likely to lose head-on against the South American fleet.
After all, the maritime military strength of the Seven Immortals Islands is still too short to build, and compared with these elites, there are still too many shortcomings. This passing by the South American Union also illustrates a problem.
That is, the commander of the fleet of the South American Alliance, he must be a veteran of navigation, whether it is the current at sea, or the direction, etc., he can calculate very accurately. However, according to Lao Jiu's observations, it was found that their fleet still had a lot of damage.
And this shows that although they have not deviated along the way, they must not have been smooth sailing on the way. According to the damaged ships and the wounded on the deck, it can be seen that they have gone through a lot of battles along the way.
The voyage in the game is almost always accompanied by unknown dangers, and this is not just talk. It was just when the South American fleet arrived at the shores of the sunset that some information about the voyage was released.
When the South American fleet set out from South America, it was 2,000 warships, but when it arrived at the empire, there were only more than 1,700 ships, and nearly 300 warships were lost on the way. And in the course of their three-month voyage, more than 100,000 soldiers died alone.
It can be seen that it is indeed not easy for them to come all the way. But this is all later, when Lao Jiumu sent the South American fleet out of the waters of the Seven Immortals Islands, he was really relieved. And after the Seven Immortals Islands were lucky not to be discovered this time, Lao Jiu finally made up his mind and prepared to build the Seven Immortals Islands into a steely sea fortress.
Unlike the Peace Islands, the Seven Immortals Islands are surrounded by bamboo and wood, so there are almost no reefs along the coast, and there are many coasts suitable for building ports. And the division of the seven main islands has formed a complex route for the Seven Immortals Islands.
This situation is very unfavorable for defense, and if it is attacked by the enemy, the entire Seven Immortals Islands will become a landing site almost everywhere. Previously, the importance of the Seven Immortals Islands was not recognized, and the lack of funds for the Easy Empire.
Therefore, the construction of the Seven Immortals Islands has been seriously delayed. If such a treasure land was really taken away by the enemy, then Lao Jiu would definitely cry with regret. Therefore, after this crisis, Lao Jiu made up his mind to improve the defense of the Seven Immortals Islands.
If there is no natural one, then it is artificially built. It would take him a year to build a miraculous city defense of the Easy Empire, and he would be able to build an iron barrel of the Seven Immortals Islands in a year.
As soon as he said it, Lao Jiu spent three days making a detailed bird's-eye view of the Seven Immortals Islands, and then hurried back to the Empire. On the fourth day, he gathered his harem and began to discuss the fortifications of the Seven Immortals Islands.
"How? What do you think of the fortifications of the Seven Immortals? In the imperial dining room in the palace, Lao Jiu then had dinner with a few women, and by the way, he proposed a plan for the construction of the Seven Immortals Islands.
"You think that's reality, huh? With the construction technology we have mastered, it is impossible to meet the requirements of underwater construction. Mi Baoer stared at the food in his hand, didn't even look at Lao Jiu, and poured a basin of cold water directly.
"Uh...... Didn't I ask for your opinion? So how do you say this fortification should be built? Lao Jiu was choked up and could only ask in a curtive voice.
"This is simple, we can simplify it, the other small islands are not important, the main ones are the seven main islands." Mibauel raised his head and said, "We can treat these seven main islands as seven big cities, and then build them directly according to the city defenses." ”
"As long as we keep these seven big islands, the other small islands are rootless duckweed, and maybe some of the small islands can be built into harbors, but we can destroy them. In this way, it saves time and effort, and there is still a lot of money left. ”
"In this way, isn't the entire Seven Immortals Islands independent?" Lao Jiu said with a frown.
"How did you become independent?" Mibael rolled her eyes and said, "In this way, the seven islands are isolated, but if any of them are attacked, the rest of the islands can be supported." ”
"Judging from the layout of the Seven Immortals Islands, if we build the entire island according to the defense of the city, then the enemy needs at least five hundred warships to attack an island, and the soldiers attacking the island must exceed 500,000, and the level must reach more than seventy."
"However, if the enemy is only besieging one island, then our other islands will support and then attack their rear, and if the other side wants to contain the other islands, it is necessary to increase the attacking fleet and elite soldiers."
"But how many fleets and soldiers are needed? If it is built according to my design, if the enemy wants to attack the Seven Immortals Islands, he will need at least 3,000 fleets and 4 million elite soldiers above level 70. ”
"This is just a siege, and if you want to really attack it, it may be a war that outweighs the losses. Because with the military strength of our Empire, if we want to hold on to the seven islands, the enemy will hardly be able to defeat them. ”
"If nothing else, we only defend and don't attack, and we can drag the enemy army down. Because even if the enemy prepares more logistical supplies, there will be times when they will be exhausted, but we are different, with the teleportation array as the backing, it is impossible for the enemy to consume us. ”
"I think it makes a lot of sense when you say that!" Lao Jiu tilted his head and thought for a while, "If it is so simple to calculate, how much money do we need to spend?" ”
"You still call it simple?" Baili Piaoxue said dissatisfiedly, and then said, "With Bao'er's construction design, it is estimated that the funds consumed to build an island are more than one billion gold coins!" ”
"Don't we have free labor?" Zhu Erpang suddenly interjected and said, "Now that the crops have been planted, we have a lot of labor freed up. These are all captives of the Mongol Empire, and they haven't been sold to the Huaxia Empire yet, so we can continue to requisition. ”
"No humanitarianism at all!" Bai Ruyu muttered on the side.
"I said, big sister, this is a game, okay? Do you know how much money that will leave us? Lao Jiu glanced at her a little speechless and said.
"Who made the game too realistic? As soon as I started building, I was a real slave owner, and it always felt weird. Bai Ruyu rolled her eyes and said.
"We just don't pay them, at least food and clothing are still good for them, so don't be sympathetic." Long Sifeng pursed his lips and said to Bai Ruyu.
"You also said that every day is like the Empress Dowager Cixi, I don't know when I was so corrupt!" Bai Ruyu looked at the Manchu Han Quanxi in front of her and exclaimed with a sad face.
"You'll do it, it's just that this time you go to the Seven Immortals Islands to supervise the construction and help us build a palace over there, and we will go on vacation there when we have nothing to do in the future!" Long Sifeng said half-jokingly.
"When we're fine, I guess all the dramas will be closed, right?" Bai Ruyu rolled her eyes and said, "This is not right, my dream was originally to go to the end of the world with a sword!" How did you become a contractor! ”
"Huh...... Why don't the two of us change it, how about you go to the Mongol Empire to lead troops to war? Yu Shengxiang said with a snicker.
"What, you're like a reckless man, what I want is a chivalrous life!" Bai Ruyu said with a white glance.
"I'm as stupid as a pig, I've taught you for so long, I don't even have a little common sense of martial arts, and I'm still a chivalrous man." Baili Piaoxue looked at Bai Ruyu speechlessly and said.
"That's the hidden system you didn't find out about me!" Bai Ruyu shouted dissatisfiedly.
"I think your special system is to eat!" Baili Piaoxue said unceremoniously.
"Hey...... It's okay, it feels like eating too much! Lao Jiu stared at Bai Ruyu, smiled obscenely, and then said.
"!" Bai Ruyu glared at Lao Jiu in annoyance.
"Okay, the construction plan of the Seven Immortals Islands will be built according to Bao'er's design." Lao Jiu said, and turned his head to ask Yu Shengxiang, "Xiangxiang, what's going on in the Mongolian Empire recently?" ”
"To the south of the North and South Boundary River, we have mastered it again, and now all the arable land has been restored, and all food has been grown." Yu Shengxiang looked at him and said, "Now we have five million warriors in the Mongol Empire, and north of Orcheng, we are completely caught in the flames of war. ”
"Their last hope now can only be pinned on the Russian Empire and the Kazakh Empire. However, the two empires are currently being dragged down by the Chinese Empire, and during this time, the two empires seem to be transferring troops from the rear. ”
