According to the information I got earlier, the USN has 300,000 ships, and now with jets, the range of activities is no longer limited to narrow bays.

After these ship girls enter the ocean, their expansion rate will be very fast.

Even if you sail at the speed of economy, you can circle the equator for a week in two months, and if dozens of fleets move together, you will have a clear idea of the entire planet in less than a year.

After Mu Feng understood these situations, he felt that he had to find a way to limit their expansion range, otherwise the entire planet would be full of their people in the future.

They do not accept the regional allocation of a quarter of the hemisphere, and must compete with themselves on a first-come, first-served basis on a global scale, on a first-come, first-served basis.

Mu Feng is not afraid of this kind of competition, and the land-based and sea-based forces under his control now, even if they compete globally, they will definitely be able to win.

But Mu Feng didn't want to put too much power out to explore the ocean, that was not the main task at the moment.

Unlike the USN, which has been basically developed locally, Mufeng does not have an urgent need for land.

The main reason is that the area of the Northern Islands is so large, and there are many good places that have not been developed.

If you don't want to build the most suitable sky base, you won't go all the way up the equator.

didn't want to waste the power of the ship's mother, and wanted to compete with them, Mu Feng thought of rockets and satellites.

But rockets and satellites need to be developed, no matter how fast, but after all, it will take some time.

So after Mu Feng inquired about Yuanwang Seven, he sent letters to Shenzhen, Ningshuang, and Sirius, asking them to pay attention to them when negotiating with the members of the USN.

Until the development of rockets and satellites is complete, limit the range and speed of their expansion as much as possible.

Shenzhen received Mu Feng's instructions, sorted out the language, and said very formally:

"We accept your proposal to determine the ownership of desert islands in the ocean by announcing the longitude and latitude of the sea areas and islands controlled by the command."

Essex showed a very rare smile, nodded slightly, and said:

"Thank you for your understanding."

In Essex's view, whoever finds out first owns it seems to be the fairest approach.

In the same way, the other party should also understand that no one wants to take advantage, and no one will suffer, so they can accept their own suggestions.

Although Otilia Essex is not the top decision-maker of the USN Command, as the commander of a large ocean-going exploration fleet, she has some emergency authority specially approved by the Senate.

Entering into such fair agreements with other commands that meet them that can avoid unnecessary conflicts is one of Otilia Essex's emergency mandates.

Although after returning to the headquarters, such an agreement would still need to be considered by the Senate, and if it was a clearly and very unreasonable agreement, it might not pass.

But this is clearly a reasonable agreement and almost impossible to repudiate, so there are no concerns on either side.

As soon as the two sides agreed on the general direction, they began to further finalize the details of the agreement.

First, the starting point of longitude, which is recognized by both sides, was determined, and finally, according to Mu Feng's suggestion, the midpoint from the Western Islands to the Eastern Islands was selected as 0 degrees.

The longitude of Newport is about 90 degrees east longitude, and its current location is about 60 degrees east longitude, and the USN headquarters is about 30 degrees to 60 degrees east longitude.

Next, the two sides began to use various ways to strive for more benefits for their respective commands.

Shenzhen, Ningshuang, and Sirius were worried about Mu Feng's request, but they didn't speak directly first, but waited for Essex to say.

Shenzhen knows that Essex must have an idea of its own.

She didn't know that her headquarters was going to build satellites, she didn't know that her headquarters didn't want to compete with all their might, and in their opinion, the tacit agreement was not good for them.

Sure enough, after a short period of thought, Essex spoke directly:

"I would suggest that we should have a long enough buffer period to collate and exchange the huge amount of data available on the sea and islands.

"I think it will take at least six months for this grace period, during which time we should limit the scope of activities of both sides to explore the fleet.

"Your exploration fleet is not allowed to enter the waters south of the equator, and our exploration fleet is not allowed to enter the waters north of the equator and within 1,000 kilometers around IJN."

It does take a while for the USN to sort through all kinds of text data, but it definitely won't take six months.

Essex wants to monopolize most of the Southern Hemisphere during these six months, which is equivalent to dividing the world from the equator during this time.

Let the headquarters send as many fleets as possible, spend six months, completely plow this sea area, and after the transition period is over, go to the north to compete with Mu Feng.

In the eyes of the three people in Shenzhen, six months is obviously too long, and it is enough for the satellite to go into the sky, not the longer the better, and the area is too large to accept.

Sirius coughed and said mercilessly:

"Six months is too long, and the extent of this half of the planet is too big.

"We are in favor of a buffer period, but the task of the buffer period is to organize documents and exchange data, not to explore more sea areas under the banner of a buffer period.

"Therefore, I suggest that during the buffer period, both of us should stop exploring the unplanned sea area of the mainland until the data exchange is completed, which is the most fair and reasonable way."

Sirius broke his thoughts, but neither of them was embarrassed.

North Carolina immediately continued:

"That's the equivalent of stagnation of development, we can't afford to waste so much time, the exploration must continue!"

Shenzhen clasped his hands to his chest, deliberately sneered and said:

"Then this is not the so-called buffer period, but the indulgence period, and the buffer period absolutely prohibits exploration!"

Essex followed:

"Our specially built ocean-going exploration ship has organized a special exploration fleet, and it is impossible for us to return to the military port empty because of the agreement, and it is impossible for the exploration to stop during this period."

The two sides argued, the saber rattling, and the frost next to him deliberately came out to play a round:

"If you have no results like this, we can compromise and explore, but the scope of the restriction is not allowed to leave our own homeland for 3,000 kilometers."

North Carolina immediately shook its head and said:

"No, within 3,000 kilometers, we have already explored it, and this range is the same as none.

"The southern hemisphere, except for the 6,000 kilometers around the IJN, is all searchable!"

Shenzhen shook his head directly and said:

"You're like that, it's like there's no limit! 5,000 kilometers around the mainland is the limit! This is not a restriction on you, we are also subject to limitations! ”

The two sides had a fierce dispute over the scope of exploration, repeated compromises, and finally took a middle value.

During the transition period, the USN Islands, the Northern Islands, and the Western Islands can explore the sea areas above 10 degrees latitude and 60 degrees on each side of the center of the archipelago, and 30 degrees on each side of the IJN.

If there is a collision, pan to the opposite side.

The duration of the transition period was also eventually limited to 45 days.

The USN is ready to thoroughly explore the area around its headquarters within this month, almost one-sixth of the entire planet's surface, to prevent other people's bases from being laid on their doorsteps in the future.

After the end of the transition period, it began to compete with Mufeng globally.

Mu Feng's side is ready to let the satellite go into the sky within 45 days, and the map will be fully displayed directly.

For such a result, both parties think that they have earned, so everyone is happy.
