Chapter 509: Alabastan
Peach Rabbit was very moved by Hiryu's promise to go to Alabastan with him to inspect, and thought that Hiryu was really cold-hearted and kind-hearted......
After Peach Rabbit ordered Alabastan to be the target of the voyage, Colonel Big Nose was also startled and wanted to ask, but was glared back by Peach Rabbit and had to respond.
……
The island of Santin, where Alabastan is located, covers an area of 180,000 square kilometers, and although most of it is desert, it is the largest country on the Great Shipping Route and the only country with a population of more than 10 million among the Great Shipping Routes.
The land is almost on a north-south axis, and is crossed by the Santo River, which flows from north to south, which flows from north to south, and is 50 kilometers wide at the southern estuary, 56 kilometers wide at the usual point, and more than 1 kilometer in most places......
Therefore, in central Alabastan, on both sides of the Santo River, there is no shortage of fertile land.
If it weren't for the vastness of Alabastan's territory and the enormous consumption of desert transportation, it would not have been prone to famine due to drought.
In terms of the distribution of oasis cities, the eastern continent, which is separated by the Santo River, is obviously more prosperous, and almost in the middle of the east, sits the royal capital "Albana".
Although it is not along the river, Albana is also a rare feng shui treasure in the land of Alabastan, which is almost an entire desert, and there is no shortage of rain all year round, making it the largest oasis city in the country.
Overall, the population of the Eastern Continent is also more dense, twice that of the Western Continent...... At least three years ago.
In the original work, when the rebels in Alabastan were in all directions, their base camp was also in the Eastern Continent......
And Klockdahl's lair, known as the "rain land" of the Dream City, is located in the Western Continent, and it is almost in the middle of the Western Continent!
The same is true now......
A year ago, Klockdahl had been completely expelled from the New World, and his base camp in the New World had been taken by Whitebeard, and he had completely focused on Alabastan.
However, the time of running Alabastan is not limited to this year, at least three years ago, he has been laying out.
Nowadays, the "Rain Land" has been built, which has opened the largest casino rain banquet, plus all kinds of extravagant enjoyment and entertainment venues, it can be said that it is the richest place in Alabastan.
In Alabastan at this time, things have already shown differences......
The royal family of Neferutari did not feel the crisis, and even King Kobra was supportive and grateful for what Klockdal had done, believing that he had brought stability and wealth to the western continent of Alabastan.
Especially since two years ago, Klockdahl has built a miraculous desalination device, which has made the West Coast vibrant**, and a large number of people in the Western Continent regard Klockdahl as a "god".
If there are fur tribes who come to Alabastan by coincidence, they will definitely feel that this kind of desalination device is very familiar - it was Ziggy who handed over the drawings of the purification device drawn by Violet in the Furry Duchy to Klokdal, and the current seawater purification plant was created!
Unfortunately, because of this purification device, the seawater needs to maintain a certain amount of kinetic energy to operate, just like in the Furry Duchy, the purification is the sea water that is sprayed into the sky by the elephant lord......
The equipment copied by Klockdahl is more demanding, less efficient, and more energy-intensive, but fortunately in the northwest, in the western mountains of Santo, a lot of coal resources have been found to make it work.
Kobra pleaded with Klockdahl, but unfortunately the eastern continent did not have the conditions for transportation and construction, and the operating cost of forced construction was higher than that of transferring water from the central region......
After the Western Continent has become rich in recent years, it has not only attracted the covetousness of many pirates, but also has frequent internal chaos, but with the Seven Martial Seas in charge, it is very safe in terms of force.
In the case of the people's will, after Klockdahl repelled a large wave of pirate coalition forces half a year ago, Kobra responded to the call of the people and canonized Klockdahl as the governor of the Western Continent......
Although there are doubts about Klockdahl in the royal court, because his merits, strength, and even fame have reached the peak, he has to recognize this matter.
……
Peach Rabbit gave Hiryu a copy of the information about Alabastan, but Hiryu just flipped through the information carefully prepared by Peach Rabbit, and then said: "Then stop directly on the West Coast, and then we will go straight to the rain and catch him off guard!" ”
Hearing this, Peach Rabbit hurriedly persuaded: "No! Alabastan is one of the most important member states of the world government, the royal family of Neferutali...... It also has a long history, and if we want to dock at Santing Island, we must give notice first. ”
"Hey, trouble." Hiryu made a disdainful voice, and then stacked the materials on the table and said, "Then you can arrange it!" ”
"Well, let's land from the port of the Eastern Continent and go to visit His Majesty Kobra first......" Peach Rabbit took the information, opened it and discussed it to explain to Hiryu.
I don't know, I think Peach Rabbit is Hiryu's adjutant and secretary.
October 23, 1515, noon.
When Peach's main ship was already within 200 kilometers of St. Ting Island, ordinary telephone bugs were already able to work, and Peachrabbit also called Alabastan to express his intention to visit.
Peach Rabbit came here, not for a surprise inspection, but to see how Klockdahl, who is the Seven Martial Seas, bullied Alabastan!
As for whether Klockdahl will really be doing good?
Peach Rabbit thinks it's impossible!
After all, Klockdahl's "debut" was also early, and he became famous twenty years ago, and now he is the "only one left" of the original Seven Martial Seas, can Peach Rabbit still know him?
However, since he came to Alabastan, he never had the reason to carry the Neferutari royal family on his back, so he "applied for a dock" in advance.
After that, Peach Rabbit gave the order to slow down a little, and six hours later, when the battleship arrived at the port, the captain of the Alabastan guard, Ikalem, actually came from Albana on a Karui duck.
The main ship of Peach Rabbit docked at Tamalisk, the largest port city on the east coast of Alabastan.
When he saw the warmly welcomed Ikalem, Peach Rabbit also greeted him very politely and greeted him.
There is theoretically no superior-subordinate relationship between the navy of the world government and the member countries, and some small countries have navies stationed there, and theoretically they are only responsible for catching pirates.
Although there are cases of small member countries being blackmailed by the navy, and Peach Rabbit has seen a lot along the way, but in a large country like Alabastan, there are only coastal ports, and some naval liaison stations, when the navy really needs to be dispatched, it is also necessary to contact the nearby naval branches.
And now, as the captain of the Alabastan Guard, Ikalem undoubtedly welcomes the navy, even more so than Kobra.
Because Icalem has long been wary of the ambitious Klockdahl, but unfortunately Kobra still trusts Klockdahl, so Ikalem also hopes that the Navy will find out that Klockdahl has a conspiracy!
