When the Stratholme Magical Industrial Base, located in the northernmost part of the continent, entered the frenzied construction phase in full swing, the three Candela Imperial naval ports located in the southernmost part of the entire continent were not idle.

After acquiring five more frigates from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, plus the previous three frigates, the Candela Imperial Navy finally has a fleet of new magical frigates in formation.

In the many training and actual combat exercises in the past six months, this new type of fleet has shown everyone a powerful power far beyond the traditional warships of the Candela Imperial Navy, so that the Kandela Imperial Navy has reached a consensus from top to bottom, that is, the future development direction of the Navy must be to replace all of them with this latest type of magic warship.

In the past, the traditional method of relying on a large number of wooden sea ships to oppress the opponent, constantly firing rockets during combat, and even hand-to-hand combat directly on board ships, at most, using small trebuchets to smash two stones, has been completely replaced by a new type of combat that uses ultra-long range attacks and can be ended without even seeing the enemy's face.

If the Candela Imperial Navy is to survive on the Endless Sea, it must quickly make a change.

However, there was an important issue that prevented the Imperial Candela Navy from making this change.

The question is simple and straightforward, and that is money.

Over the years, the empire has cut the total budget of the military department again and again, and the budget of the navy has been cut far more severely than that of the army.

Previously, the Imperial Navy purchased three magic frigates from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, which was still squeezed out by the Navy Finance Department, and therefore owed some of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce on credit. At the same time, it also came up with some conditions such as the opening of the military port to the frigate of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

And later, although the Imperial Navy passed guò and the cooperation of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. and the increase in maritime transport brought about by the vigorous fight against piracy. He made a lot of money from it, but after buying five magic frigates from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, he spent all the money he had saved up in the past two years.

So now, although the Imperial Navy has reached a consensus to convert all the warships in the Navy into new magic frigates, the thought of the price of a magic frigate as high as two million gold coins can only express helplessness.

In order to achieve this goal, and at the private behest of His Majesty the Emperor, the Candela Imperial Navy further deepened its close ties with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

After the new Chief of Staff of the Imperial Navy, Count Russell, contacted from it. Two months ago, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Imperial Navy reached an agreement to fully open the three deep-water military ports in the south of the Candela Empire that are under the control of the Candela Imperial Navy.

Specifically, it is these three military ports, which originally belonged only to the Candela Imperial Navy, are now open to any ship.

Although ships entering the military port had to pay a certain protection fee to the Imperial Navy of Kandela, this fee was not high, and the largest sea ship only paid thirty gold coins, which was definitely affordable for the vast majority of merchant ships engaged in maritime transportation.

Moreover, after paying these thirty gold coins, not only will you be protected by the Candela Imperial Navy in these three military ports, but if you encounter any danger in the endless sea in the south, you can also ask the Candela Imperial Navy for help.

Generally. For the vast majority of maritime merchants, this protection fee is well worth the payment.

Of course. How to ensure that you can encounter danger in the southern seas and be able to ask for help from the Candela Imperial Navy in time is still the key to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

Each merchant ship that has paid the protection fee of 30 gold coins will receive a magic communication device provided by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and after owning this magic communication device, you only need to be within the range of the magic communication network built by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and you can use the magic communication device to contact others who are also in the magic communication network at any time.

Specifically, in the southern waters of the Candela Empire, you can send a distress signal through the guò magic communication device at any time, and then this distress signal can be transmitted to the Candela Imperial Navy through the magic communication network as soon as possible, and then the Candela Imperial Navy will send the nearest Imperial Navy ship to rescue.

If the Imperial Navy is unable to rush to the rescue in the first place, the ships that need to be rescued can also ask for help from the nearest bases set up by the New Flyers on various islands in the Endless Sea.

And since the current magic signal transmission distance of each magic signal tower is limited to less than five kilometers, the Candela Imperial Navy's proposal for each merchant ship is not to leave the island with the magic signal tower outside the five-kilometer range, so as not to prevent the rescue signal from being transmitted down the lì.

Therefore, after the Candela Imperial Navy announced the opening of these three military ports as transportation ports, the number of merchant ships traveling to and from the Candela Empire for maritime trade increased significantly, almost reaching dozens of times before, but if you look down from the sky, you will find that although these merchant ships sail on the endless sea, the routes they take are almost identical.

All merchant ships sail on the Endless Sea, and they will be near the island where the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is located, never too far away.

The most important reason, of course, is that this route is fully covered by the magic communication network laid by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, which can obtain powerful instant communication conditions, in case of any danger, you can ask for help at the first time, and at the same time, if there is any information, you can also communicate at the first time.

For these maritime merchants who sailed on the endless sea before, and could not see a single figure for ten days and half a month, this is simply a huge change.

In addition, since this route is around the island base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is obviously clear that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has long been explored, and there will be no dangers such as reefs that have not been discovered on the entire route, which is more conducive to smooth navigation.

In addition, another thing detailed in the book "Instructions for the Endless Sea Route" jointly published by the Candela Imperial Navy and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has also set up a deep-water port every 500 kilometers on these island bases for sea ships to dock.

Cargo ships can dock at these ports at any time for replenishment and recuperation.

This is a great convenience for these merchant ships who have been floating on the endless sea all year round and can only rely on the supplies prepared at the time of departure to support their voyages for dozens of days or even months.

In addition, the new flying chamber of commerce will also provide some maintenance and other logistics facilities for the repair and maintenance of seagoing ships in these ports, so that these merchant ships can get a more reliable guarantee when sailing at sea.

This, combined with the fact that supplies are readily available, allows the vessel to free up space previously used to carry supplies to load more cargo, making a voyage much more valuable than before.

Although the fees charged by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on these sea bases are much more expensive than those on land, they are undoubtedly countless times stronger than the previous situation where they could not replenish and recuperate halfway through and would encounter danger at any time.

What's more, now driving in the sea area from the Duchy of Stantin to the southern part of the Candela Empire, you can also enjoy the protection of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Escort Fleet and the Candela Imperial Navy Fleet, which greatly increases security.

Based on the above reasons, as soon as the joint statement of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Imperial Navy was officially announced, countless sea ships immediately sailed into the vast endless sea and began to shuttle back and forth on this channel planned by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

Countless and diverse goods were loaded onto merchant ships at several ports in the Duchy of Stante, and the Guò waterway was continuously transported to the Candela Empire.

These goods are not just magical machines, but also a large number of ordinary household items, including food, clothing, plastic products, and even some pots and pans......

When merchant ships arrived in the southern ports of the Candela Empire, some of these goods were sold locally and in the surrounding areas, while the rest were cargo transit stations set up near the ports by the Candela Imperial Navy and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and went directly into the hinterland of the Empire.

And for the civilians of the Candela Empire, any goods from the Duchy of Stantin are extremely welcome.

Think about it, a beautiful appearance, meticulous needlework, and a slight difference in fabric from the clothes made by the master tailors in the Candela Empire can only be sold for a few dozen silver coins, or at most a little more than a gold coin!

It's like a giveaway!

As for other aspects, although most of the people of the Candela Empire do not know about plastic, the so-called plastic zuò of various things, such as plastic basins, are light and easy to use, far more convenient than iron basins, and the price is only one-tenth of that of ordinary iron basins.

What's more, the surface of the plastic basin is extremely smooth and feels super good to the touch, which is much stronger than the iron basin with potholes and even burrs on the sides made by those blacksmiths.

Besides, the iron plate is still afraid of rusting off the paint, but the plastic basin is not worried.

If you really don't want to use a plastic basin and think that a metal basin is reassuring, that's fine.

Because there are a variety of alloy zuò basins for you to choose from, they are not rusty, they are just as lightweight, but they are a little more expensive, but they are only a few silver coins more expensive.

Countless goods of all kinds from the Duchy of Stantin poured in, including what the people of the Candela Empire could have imagined, and many that they had never imagined.

In short, they are all the same cheap and easy to use, and in an instant, they have a huge impact on the lives of the people of the Candela Empire.

In just two or three months, the various goods of the Duchy of Stantin have already left a deep impression on the people of the Candela Empire.

The only exceptions are the southern provinces. (To be continued......)
