Chapter 14 The Situation in the Western Continent is Complicated
William and what's that called. It's called Ueno. Luke only remembered half of the names of a particular president. I don't know if the guy only said half of it at the time or if he forgot about it. But it doesn't matter. She had no interest in what happened between William and President Ueno. Except that the guy met when he came to this town guard's house. The rest of the time I stayed on the ship.
Click. A shutter sounds. Accompanied by the glare of the flash. Shook Luke's eyes, who was reading a magazine, wide. Immediately, he turned his head very helplessly. I said. Aoba. Can you stop chasing me and taking pictures. Wouldn't it be nice to go and walk around on the boat. ”
The ship's mother with a camera in her hand is naturally the green leaf in Zhuoran's town. This guy has done a great job as a journalist. When Luke and Ripple came back that day, they followed the ship with a dead face.
Holding a camera is a wild shot. Click, click, click. It almost made Luke angry. But who made this guy not his own ship's mother. It's not easy to educate. They're here anyway, they're about to leave. Soon this guy will get off the boat.
William had already discussed it with Ueno. Now I guess the contract has been signed. Just wait. Forehead. It seems that we will have to wait for the steel of this ship to be moved out. Oh yes. After moving these steels, there is still crude oil. A large number of civilian and military supplies will also be delivered.
Come to think of it. Luke couldn't help but cover his face speechlessly. How did he miss these things. So it came and went. It's not going to work for a week. Never mind. Or give Reuter a call. Let him transfer Lillian back.
It's not okay to be left without people at the base for a long time. Do what you think. Luke immediately took out his phone and called Reut. "Hey. Old man. If it's okay, do me a favor. Oh. Let's get Lillian back to my base. It's not okay if there's no one looking at you. I'm a little uncomfortable letting anyone else go but her. ”
Aoba next to her saw Luke actually calling in front of her. Immediately, my eyes lit up. I came over and wanted to eavesdrop on some news or something. It turned out to be just a step forward. was pressed to his head by one of Luke's hands.
"Okay. Then please. Then Luke had already hung up. So that the next side didn't hear the voice on the phone at all, whether it was a man or a woman, and Aoba looked disappointed.
"Alas. Really. Listen to what's there. Aoba pouted and complained. However, it was directly ignored by Luke. Now Reutec is already very talkative. After all, the entire island admiral had to survive on the resources provided by Luke. Speaking of which, Luke can already be regarded as a relatively high-level person on Star Island. It's just that Luke basically doesn't care.
The island's original mines and oil wells were not closed. Operations resumed soon after being recaptured from the gendarmerie. But the resources produced there are nothing to be seen compared to the amount supplied by Luke's side.
One of the reasons for continuing to operate is that Sing Tao still lacks these things. In one is not to suddenly put the workers of those mines and oil wells out of their jobs. The number of workers is at least in the tens of thousands. It would not be a small thing if so many people were all unemployed.
"You're so idle. Don't you organize training in the town guard's house? "I saw Aoba with a 'I'm idle' look. Luke didn't even know what to say. This guy just runs around like this every day. Doesn't it really matter?
Zhuo Ran, that guy is too easy for the ship girls. Except for going out on patrol every day. Nothing happened. I spent all day running around the Minato area. But then again. These shipwives are running around and making trouble, which is really what they should do. Thinking about it this way, he seems to be a little strict with his ship's mother.
Hm. This time it's a long vacation for these guys. Do you want to consider going around the other places on Moon Ring Island these days?
"Training. I train once in a while. Special training as a journalist. Aoba shook his fist. Said something that made Luke feel speechless.
"Uh. All right. You should know a lot about Moon Roundabout. Do you know where to go on the island? ”
"Hey, hey. Of course I know that. I'll tell you......" Aoba seemed to open up the conversation. Let's start talking to Luke. Luke also nodded as he listened. Thinking about where to take the ship's mother to play these days.
Aoba said as he spoke. Let's talk about the western continent. As soon as I heard Aoba mention it. Luke was also interested. The continent to the west is very large. Presumably, the mineral deposits above are also relatively rich. If you have the chance. Maybe I'll have to go over there and open a few mines or something.
"Wait. Wait a minute. Follow this map and explain it to me. Listen to what you have to say about the situation over there. It seems a bit complicated. He said. Luke raised his hand and clicked a few times from the console under the table. A topographic map taken by a satellite was brought up.
Although those below can be seen from the satellite. However, it will take some time to analyze the following situation. Now that Aoba has explained to him, it naturally saves time. It's not necessarily accurate, though. But at least you can get a rough idea.
"Oooh. Could this be holographic imaging? "I saw a three-dimensional holographic map pop up on the originally ordinary table. Aoba immediately raised the camera in his hand. I started shooting.
Wait for this guy to enjoy filming. It was only when I remembered to introduce Luke to the situation on the western continent. "Uh. This one. How to say it. According to my message. Well. The continent of the West. It's actually very messy. ”
"In addition to the coastline, there is a reason for the town guard. The order is relatively stable. The interior is very chaotic. It is said that in some places, some small wars often break out from time to time. And it is divided into dozens of large and small forces. Doing business with us here on the island of Yuehuan. It is the most powerful force in the coast. They have five large town guards in their hands. In addition, there are quite a few human armies. ”
"The stuff that we traded with them. They are all sold by them. I've heard that they've multiplied the price several times. ”
"Oooh. What about the others. He nodded. Looks like there's some trouble over there, too. Although I know that there are no particularly powerful weapons over there. But I can't stand the crowd. Aoba spoke at the same time. Luke used the satellite to check the situation over there. It's really similar to what Aoba said.
There are many areas that are divided by the city walls. They are all on guard against each other. The number of troops is also quite large. On average, there can be 18,000 per faction. That's hundreds of thousands. And that's not even counting what Luke didn't see. That is, it is not identified by satellites in houses or elsewhere.
If it's been such a mess over there. Going there to mine becomes a big problem. It's not just a lot of defense. And there were men stationed there. There was no one under him. He didn't feel at ease if he let the ship's mother run so far away.
What's more, listening to Aoba describe it like this. The western continent will definitely not look as peaceful as Moon Island or Star Island. It's at this time that Aoba explains. Luke had already seen from the satellite that there were several forces fighting with each other again.
Conflicts of this magnitude seem to have become commonplace for them. Luke could clearly see the city that belonged to those forces. Those ordinary people are living as usual. I didn't care about the situation outside the city walls.
See here. Luke was completely disillusioned with the idea of mining on the western continent in the short term. There's no solution to this at all. Unless he knocks them all down. Drive the Ettila over and crush them.
But at that point, I'm afraid those guys over there will have to go against him. No matter how you think about it, it's all troublesome. It's better to ignore the other side. It's easier to find ore veins in the sea first. After all, the sea is at best the deep sea.
And the words of the deep sea. Except for those who are not self-aware. Others, like the South, seem to be very talkative. It seems to have inherited the nature of the ship's mother.。 I just don't know if I let the south make a move on ordinary people. Will you be as unbearable as the ship's mother?
But I don't think so. If you can't bear to do it. How could those deep seas run to bomb places like the town guard mansion or the residential area by the sea? Even after being controlled, the ship girls are still very resistant to attacking humans.
Next, I chatted with Aoba again. This guy was attracted by the novelty equipment on the ship again. Ran to get the instruments and stuff like that. But the important thing is that Luke doesn't dare to let this guy in. Look at the way she grins. In case you accidentally break something. It's not easy to repair in this place.
Aoba, the guy who has never finished his question, is attracted to attention by something else. Luke was also relieved. Always listen to this guy ask tricky questions next to his ear. My head is about to explode.
But it's going to be a few days ahead. If you don't want to listen to this guy's nagging. It's better to take your ship mother to the Moon Ring Island as soon as possible to have fun. After all, Aoba can't just leave the town guard mansion. Even if you leave. It's just going to the nearest place to buy something.
Not. Last time, I took King Kong and a few of them to the hot springs. This time, let's go camping in the mountains in the middle of the Moon Ring Island. There are quite a few people here this time. If you go to a hot spring inn, you will definitely have a lot of phone bills. Going camping is different. It can save a lot of money. The rest of the money was used to let the elves build new ships. Well. That's it.
