Karl was sitting in the carriage, holding the file bags tightly in his hands. This made Robert very curious as to what was in those file bags, but he didn't ask because he knew very well. , these things were not what he should ask, so he simply stopped asking.

Karl sat there, thinking about the drawings in the document bag in his hand. To be honest, when he saw those drawings, he was really shocked. He really didn't understand how a person could have He was really surprised by so many ideas. These ideas were so genius. At the same time, he also decided that he must get an island for Zhao Hai, and now he is thinking about which island is better. More appropriate.

In fact, in the steel world, there has always been a saying that the steel world belongs to the Church of the Mother Goddess and the Archduke, while the island belongs to the Merchant Alliance. This sentence has always been circulated in secret, because the Merchant Alliance is the most important They started out by shipping, so they have stricter control over the sea. Now it can be said that here in the Steel World, 95% of the ships running on the sea are merchant alliance ships, and the remaining ships are all They were some fishermen's own boats. None of the Grand Duke and Mother Goddess churches were on the sea.

Originally, the Mother Goddess Church also had a fleet, but that was a long time ago. Later, after the rise of the Merchant Alliance, the Mother Goddess Church’s fleet was destroyed. Now all the ships on the sea are from the Merchant Alliance. This is also The reason why the Mother Goddess Church has always been at odds with the Merchant Alliance.

It is precisely because of this that the merchant alliance has some knowledge of the islands in the sea, and some islands will become their fleet bases. Now Karl is thinking about which island is most suitable for Zhao Hai's requirements. He really couldn't remember it.

After a while, Robert reminded Karl: "Sir, let's go to the city." Robert knew very well that if something really happened to Karl, he might not return to the company, but go directly to the club, so he He just reminded me that this is what he should do as an assistant.

Karl nodded and said: "Go to the guild hall." Robert responded, and then sent the carriage directly to the guild hall. The coachman didn't say anything, and went directly to the guild hall. When he arrived at the guild hall, Karl realized that the other congressmen were not there. Let's go, everyone is waiting for him there. Karl has no business, so he directly calls everyone to the conference room.

After everyone arrived in the conference room and sat down, Karl gave the drawings to everyone without saying a word, and then said: "Everyone, take a look, this is what Mr. Zhao Hai drew. He designed it a long time ago." These weapons were produced, but they have not been taken out, because it would take too much time to test these weapons, and he was not prepared to do it, but I said so, and he took them out, so everyone can take a look first and then talk." Then he gave the drawings to Roger.

Roger took the drawings and looked at them one by one. Finally, he exclaimed and stood up. Then he looked at Karl in disbelief. Karl nodded at him. Roger then sat down. After reading all the drawings, he gave them to others, and then said to Karl: "What do you think?"

Karl said solemnly: "Mr. Zhao Hai said that if you want to test these things, the manor is not suitable because the noise will be too loud and it will attract other people's attention. He thinks it is most suitable to put the test base on the island. I think What he said makes sense, and what I mean is the same. Put the base on the island, so there will be no problem. But what I have a headache now is to choose which island is suitable." Karl also said his own directly. idea.

When Roger heard what Karl said, he couldn't help being stunned, and then nodded. Then he thought about it and said in a deep voice: "What you said makes sense. The base should indeed be placed on the island. As for putting it there, On an island, this really needs to be thought about carefully." After saying that, he also frowned and thought about it.

But others were still looking at the drawings. When everyone saw the drawings of the airplane, they couldn't help but exclaimed. They really didn't expect that there would be such a thing as an airplane. They waited until everyone had finished reading all the drawings. Only then did they understand why Carl and Roger had said before that this base was most suitable to be placed on an island. It was indeed true. This base was indeed most suitable to be placed on an island. It was really not suitable to be placed anywhere else. .

Wood took a puff of his cigar and then said in a deep voice: "This island cannot be chosen casually. The first thing is that it cannot be too close to the land, nor too far from the land. At the same time, there must be various factories on the island. Even if there are none now, It also needs to have a certain foundation, be big enough, and be able to meet the needs of life with fresh water and other things. It is really not easy to find such an island." Everyone nodded. , they are also considering this issue.

At this moment, a congressman said: "If you don't have any good choices now, I have a suggestion." He paused for a moment, and everyone turned to look at him, waiting for him to bring it up. As he continued speaking, the congressman glanced at everyone, and then said: "Beyond the trade routes with the other three realms, there is an island. That island was accidentally discovered by our fleet before. You also know that we One of their fleets is an ocean fishing fleet. The island they discovered is not near the cabin line, but it is not too far from the cabin line. The island is very large, with fresh water and plains on it. We grow our own food, and over the years our family has regarded it as an important base for the ocean-going fleet. There is a machinery factory there and a pressurized cabin manufacturing plant. Although the scale is not very large, as long as it is expanding It will be ready to use in a moment. As for the steam vehicle manufacturing plant, there is no one there, but we can build one directly. As long as we gather some ships and transport the needed things, we can directly build it in a short time. A factory comes out.”

The congressman who spoke was called Frank. Their family was mainly engaged in maritime trade and ocean fishing. When it came to understanding the ocean, their family definitely knew the best. So when they heard what he said, everyone couldn't help but nodded. Wood laughed loudly. He smiled and said, "Frank, I'm afraid this is your family's wealth, right? Are you willing to give this away?"

Everyone understood what Wood meant. None of them knew the place Frank mentioned. It should be a secret base of the Frank family. But now Frank has taken out this secret base, which shows that he has indeed spent a lot of money. , so everyone chuckled lightly.

Frank glanced at everyone and smiled slightly: "That is indeed a very important base for our family, but if our business alliance is really finished, then our family will also be finished. What is the use of leaving only such a base? But? It’s just to allow some people in the family to flee there for refuge, but what happened with Mr. Zhao Hai is an opportunity for us, we must seize it, and I think that from now on, our family must An alliance has been formed. Only members of our family can go to that island, and some members of the family must go directly to the island and stay on the island forever. We want to build the island into an important base for our family. , so that even if something important happens on land, we still have a way out, and to do this, it is obviously impossible for us as a family, we must all work together." Frank said in When he said this, he kept looking at everyone, obviously very serious.

When Wood and the others heard what Frank said, they all fell silent. In fact, their family also had several bases like what Frank said. The big family didn't have some back-ups, but they didn't say it out loud. Now... Hearing what Frank said, they all felt Frank's sincerity, and they were also thinking about Frank's words.

After a while, Wood spoke first: "Frank is right. Now that we control the sea, we must arrange a base for us on the sea. Let's start from that island first. Each of our families will send some people to Check out the island, and if it is indeed suitable, then we will go all out to build that island and turn it into our permanent base."

Everyone else nodded, and Wood looked at Frank and said: "If this thing really comes to pass, we won't let you suffer. Don't worry, and I think the alliance you mentioned is feasible. , the appearance of Mr. Zhao Hai is indeed an opportunity. I think everyone sitting here does not want to sit in the position of a member forever, right? Then we will form an alliance and fight against the Mother Goddess Church and the Grand Dukes. While we are developing and strengthening ourselves, we must also control the people below and not let them overturn the situation."

When everyone heard what Wood said, they couldn't help but be startled, and then they all nodded. In fact, some of them are no longer from the families that founded the business alliance. The families that founded the business alliance in the first place, Due to various reasons, they are no longer members of the Council, and of course they don’t want to be like those other companies one day. If they can really form an alliance and rely on these new weapons that Zhao Hai has come up with, then indeed They can control the merchant alliance forever. By then, their power in the steel world will definitely be very large.

Karl said solemnly: "I think this is feasible, so let's make it a decision? Tomorrow we will send someone to the island to have a look. If it is really suitable, we will make preparations as soon as we come back. Mr. Zhao Hai is still waiting for us. Where's the reply?" Everyone nodded. Now they all focus on supporting Zhao Hai, so they are so anxious.

Roger said in a deep voice: "The city that Mr. Zhao Hai drove into today has attracted the attention of many people, so the security work in the manor must be stepped up. I wonder if everyone is ready? If everyone When we are ready, we will send people over immediately. If we are not ready yet, we must hurry up and prepare. We must send people over before tomorrow morning. We cannot wait for a moment." Everyone nodded. , and their expressions were a little solemn. They all knew very well that this time, they really had to pay close attention to matters, and there must be no accidents.
