In just half a year, the repulse bay, which was originally just a small harbor, has become a prosperous seaport, a cargo terminal, a mining terminal, a passenger terminal, and three large docks in the harbor area. Far away from these two terminals is the passenger terminal, where passenger ship transportation is still relatively busy, and guests from all over the world come here for business or tourism.

In many places along the street, some of the distinctive sea tribes are peddling the specialties of the sea, which are usually not seen on the shore, and many people who come here will stop to take a look at the sea tribes, and the other is to buy some small things from their hands as souvenirs. Although the business is not large, it is very prosperous. And the Sea Clan has also changed their previous tough style, they already know that some things can be exchanged for the rags that are everywhere in the sea!

The trade in ores and small things has made the Sea Tribes realize the benefits of money, and they buy all kinds of utensils from the shore in large quantities, many of which are the first time that the Sea Tribes have so many metal tools, and they are almost speechless with excitement.

In the past six months, several countries have started shipping with Isaac. As early as half a year ago, the first meeting of the "Pan-Ocean Resources Development Cooperation and Exchange Organization" was held in this town, when the town was far less prosperous than it is now, but it has begun to take shape, in Wang Wei's mansion, a total of six countries have joined the organization, and signed a contract in the name of God as a guarantee. Under this compact, no member country may provide any internal information about the organization to any foreign country, and any issue concerning the development of the oceans must be coordinated and communicated within the organization.

Of course, these are only approximations, and the specific details Wang Wei asked domestic professionals to draw up a total of more than 1,000 detailed terms, of course, Wang Wei didn't read these things. As long as Luna says okay, then he'll take this as a treasure.

In short, this organization was thus formed, and although the Far Mountain Council objected to the formation of this organization, the Isaac Empire had withdrawn from the Far Mountain Council, and his actions were no longer restricted by the Far Mountain Council, and he did not take any attitude towards it at all.

And the rest of the States parties have already placed orders for cargo ships and warships of varying numbers, and after seeing the so-called Isaac Naval Exhibition Hall, those people are secretly happy that they will be able to dominate the seas one step ahead of others in the future, where do they care about the words of the Far Mountain Council?

These countries have successively issued decrees, agreeing to open some coastal cities to become cities for friendly exchanges between the sea people, and allowing the sea people to set up bases on the shore and sell goods. For a while, there was a thriving scene!

Wellington, which was also one of the first cities to open up, benefited even more from their wise decision, as Isaac's merchants and goods were always transiting through it due to the blockade of other countries, and the transport of goods flourished here, followed by the arrival of Isaac tours. Since the luxury liners here are held once every three days, dignitaries who travel here sometimes have to stay here. The inflow of this hot money has definitely boosted the development of local accommodation and dining. And Wang Wei plans to build the first branch of the Isaac Hotel here, so that the luxury wind will blow from Isaac to Wellington!

Everything is moving in an unpredictable direction for some people, and everything seems to be contrary to their predictions.

"What the hell are they doing!

Emperor Hugo could never have imagined how a country that was only moderately strong could have become to such an extent in just half a year because of its closed policy! Although a day or two will not make a country prosperous and strong, as time grows, it will surely bring incalculable wealth to the country! Whether it is material wealth or spiritual wealth! Thanks to a highly open-minded policy, Isaac appeared in this world as never before, with their merchants in all corners of the world and their culture infiltrating every country. Even in Hugo, who hated Isaac the most, people were happy to talk about the Isaac Star, the most luxurious hotel in the world. People also know that the only most luxurious official casino on the mainland, Gray Dragon Castle. And in the country, there are countless people who secretly enter Tolkien, and then pass through Isaac!

Have they forgotten their hatred?

However, that was not the most important thing, Hugo pushed for the embargo on Isaac in most ore-producing countries, and the small countries that originally relied on ore as their main source of income, although unhappy, could only reluctantly agree because of geography or some complicated relationship. But with the so-called "Pan-Ocean Resources Development Cooperation and Exchange Organization" in play, they have found new mineral fields in the endless ocean floor, and the price of buying from the sea tribes is much lower than those on land. So much so that those coastal countries are more inclined to the sea tribe in terms of ore imports, rather than relying on those land countries.

A series of events led some ore exporting countries to constantly protest against Hugo, demanding that the trade embargo on Isaac be lifted. Because if the situation continues like this, the ore exporting countries will lose their biggest economic pillar, and their national finances will shrink severely, which will greatly affect their national affairs!

But the Hugo Empire knew that even if Isaac was loosened now, things would be irreparable, and he could see a very obvious manly style in the whole development. The news from the spies indicates that it is not the empress, nor the prime minister, nor the parliament, but this man who is now in power in Isaac. The man did a series of things in a time of national crisis that made the people's trust in him reach an unprecedented level. The confidence and sense of pride of the people are at an all-time high, and now Isaac has almost reached its most prosperous period since the founding of the country!

Emperor Hugo had a headache, and in front of his desk, reports on Isaac were one after another, and the last one seemed to be good news from some secret spy. According to the report, the three Grand Dukes of the Lion Federation held a secret meeting, the contents of which were known to no one but themselves, but the result seemed to be clear, and they were prepared to cut off one-third of the army in the coming period, which would retain the size of 600,000. Some of the 300,000 troops that have been laid off will return to the fields with farm tools, and some will return to the military academies to teach. Each person will be given a substantial amount of compensation.

It is said that the money came from the Isaac treasury.

Of all the negative news, only this one is positive.

Emperor Hugo pondered how far the country would have to go for its leaders to declare disarmament? In terms of population, the number of Isaac's army in the whole was actually not very large. Even so, do they need to be disarmed?Valjean thought of some earlier news, some spies reported that Isaac's army seemed to be short of equipment, and that some equipment maintenance orders were issued one after another. Does this mean something?

In other words, under the cover of Isaac's glorious performance, there is actually a serious internal shortage of resources?

"Of course it's for someone else to see!"

At the disarmament conference, Wang Wei said this to the grand dukes.

"I dare say that now from my little harbor to the Elven Forest, there are spies from all over the world who are watching our every move with wide eyes. So, I'm just letting them think that something is wrong with our army, I'm just letting them know that we're short on resources, I'm just letting them think we can't hold on. Only then can my next steps be implemented. ”

In the second week after the Continental New Year, when neither the civilians nor the soldiers were relieved from the euphoria, a large number of soldiers began to assemble near the border where the Grand Duke of Kaielyi was stationed, and on the other side of the border, across the Huilong River, the sentinels of the neighboring countries saw this very unusual move, and they lit the beacon fire, and at the same time reported that it was quickly delivered to their king.

And it only occurred to their king at this time that they were only small countries, and the reason why they were able to find trouble on the border was entirely because the Isaac Empire had joined the Far Mountain Council, and the Far Mountain Council would never allow invasion between countries. But that being said, Verne is a prime example of this, and despite his invasion of other countries, the punishment he was ultimately punished was nothing. The Far Mountain Council even punished the Isaac Empire after that. But now that the Isaac Empire has withdrawn from the Far Mountain Council, they don't have to care about the so-called rules and regulations.

They actually stretched out their minions to neighboring countries?

Isaac's sudden increase of troops to the border immediately caused a fierce debate among the nations, and the Isaac Empire suddenly declared at this time that the increase was entirely necessary for the upcoming large-scale military exercises, and the countries were not more worried. But despite this, their actions were even more worrying, and the entire 300,000-strong army under the command of Grand Duke Kyle-Yi had been assembled on the border within a week. Some crystal-burning cannons and catapults, battering rams and the like were in the middle of the army camp. Where do you need these weapons in ordinary military exercises! The high cost and ultra-high lethality of crystal-burning shells simply do not allow them to appear in the exercises!

Could it be that they are going to start a war?
