Super Dimensional Pirates in Pirates

In Beihai, thousands of workers are busy working on the construction site connected to the entrance of the New World Waterway.

The island that was previously moved as a battlefield was almost half destroyed in the war between China and the navy. Wendy and Akin moved two more islands and put them together with this riddled island.

Kana used the power of the Stone Fruit to spend a lot of effort to reconstruct the three islands into a large island. At the same time, it formed a haven, a port, a coastal defense fort, as well as the foundations and underground passages of various houses for subsequent construction workers to lay.

Underground cables, sewers and other public facilities.

Of course, underground passages made of rocks alone are not strong. Construction workers behind them need to use steel bars, cement and other construction materials for additional reinforcement work to ensure that even if the ground is washed away by naval artillery, the construction safety of the underground space can be completely guaranteed.

It can be used as an air raid shelter.

With Karen's ability, the uneven island became neat and tidy, with a trapezoidal layout with the center being the highest and gradually descending toward the surroundings, with various roads interspersed and connected in the middle.

Kallen used the ability of flying fruits to easily turn a large amount of materials into light and fluttering cloth. The cargo carried by a sailboat was enough to be worth the carrying capacity of twenty sails.

The wages are sufficient, the food is plentiful, and the workers on all construction sites work very hard.

Piers, roads, commercial streets, hotels, restaurants, stations...

A new port city was gradually born on this island.

When some businessmen who had received the news arrived on the island on a sailboat, what they saw was the beginning of a city.

And this city seems to be a construction site that never stops. The workers are working with excitement, which is a sight that cannot be seen in other places.

"This is... the island under the jurisdiction of the Yonko Pirates..." A businessman murmured to himself: "I always feel that the urban planning of Mingxia, the Kingdom of China is even better than the capitals of some of the participating countries."

Another businessman added: "At least the appearance of the workers is incomparable to other places."

"Shh!" Several other people broke out into cold sweats and hurriedly whispered: "This is the territory of the Four Emperors. Please speak softly, so as not to inconvenience us."

"It doesn't matter..." the businessman shrugged and said with an indifferent expression: "What we just said were all good things, and as long as we don't offend the cadres of the Dawn Pirates, our lives will definitely not be in danger."

A businessman asked anxiously: "Do you think the Dawn Pirates really won't detain all of us including our goods?"

The other businessmen laughed "haha" and laughed together: "Hey, you are too courageous!"

"Since you don't believe in the credibility of the Four Emperors, why are you here?"

"Alas~" The man sighed and explained helplessly: "I don't want to come, I'm just a representative sent by the family."

"Don't worry!" A businessman patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "As long as you complete this errand, you might be able to get the appreciation of the family elders when you go back."

"Look, over there -" a businessman gestured with his chin. A tugboat with smoke coming out of its chimney was pulling a large wooden sailboat with a steel cable, preparing to pass through the windless zone.

There is neither wind nor current in the aeolian zone, and the entire sea surface is as smooth as a mirror.

Only the special foreign ships of the Navy Headquarters or the steel ships made by China can pass through the windless zone. Even if Eric builds a new channel connecting the New World and the North Sea, these wooden sailing ships that rely on wind power will not be able to move freely.

Traveling between the New World and the North Sea.

Therefore, Eric can not only collect tolls, but can even rent and sell towing boats and earn additional towing fees.

These businessmen also sensed business opportunities and wanted to buy some stores in this port city and open shops, restaurants, hotels, etc. This waterway is a safe shortcut to the new world, and the passenger flow will definitely not be small.

If you make money, you will definitely not lose money if you buy a store here.

Some of them also want to buy steel ships manufactured by China.

In the several battles that broke out between the Dawn Pirates and the navy, Eric showed off his advantages of maneuverability, fast speed, and artillery range to the world. Other countries coveted the shipbuilding technology of China, but it was a pity that they

However, the Dawn Pirates cannot obtain this shipbuilding technology.

In this round of investment promotion, Eric made it known to the outside world that he planned to sell some ships, among which were naturally the steel ships that others coveted and relied on propellers to move forward.

However, Eric does not intend to sell warships to other countries, because the working principles of breech guns, rifling, etc. are not complicated. As long as they are understood, the enemy can quickly imitate and manufacture them.

As for high-tech weapons such as electromagnetic guns and laser cannons, Eric has no plans to sell them.

So Eric only plans to sell some cargo ships with fast sailing speed and large cargo capacity. The sailing speed is fast, and the pirate group driving the sailing wooden ship cannot catch up. The steel hull can easily defend against those round cannons.

, the conditions for life-saving are all in place.

Ships that rely on propellers can sail easily in windless zones. Merchants no longer need to spend towing fees, and the amount of cargo they can carry will also increase sharply.

These businessmen who are good at calculating accounts immediately took action. This steel ship is a sharp weapon! It has excellent escape ability and strong survivability. When encountering the pirate group, there will be no situation where goods and wealth are lost.

And Eric also wanted to tie together the interests of North Sea merchants. The world can be without aristocrats, but it cannot be without merchants. Merchants are the main source of investment in the productive economy and an important part of the movement of commodities.

However, on the other hand, Eric must beware of excessive entanglement between officials and businessmen, that is, politics must be kept at a certain distance from the interests of capitalists. After all, the number of upright officials Eric summoned is extremely limited, and most grassroots management still requires local indigenous people.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Are you a visiting business group?" Baby-5 and Queen Sweetie, dressed in white maid outfits, acted as receptionists.

"It's so beautiful..." A businessman with red eyes suddenly got an elbow from the person next to him, and the next words were stuck in his throat.

"Everyone is here, please come this way." The sweetheart queen, who has purple eye shadow on her eyes, smooth and soft skin, and a curvy figure, is also used to other people's lustful eyes, and she leads the way with Baby-5.

"It hurts..." The businessman who was hit by the elbow covered his right rib.

"You want to die, but we don't want to die!" Seeing the others staring at him viciously, he was suddenly too frightened to continue complaining.

Many businessmen got on carriages and headed to the Governor's Palace that had been completed.

After everyone walked into the large conference hall and took their seats, several people walked out from the back with "dengdeng" steps.

Almost all these businessmen were startled when they saw the visitor.

"Your Majesty Eric!" Without exception, everyone stood up and saluted.

"Everyone, please take a seat." Eric said in a warm voice, and then sat on the main seat.

When these businessmen heard this, they sat down anxiously. Some of them had their butts touching half of the chairs, and some even fell to the ground unable to sit firmly.

However, other people did not laugh at him. Everyone was in the same uneasy mood. They did not expect that for such a small matter as attracting investment, the Four Emperors who ruled the sea would actually be present in person.

Zhuge Liang, who was in charge of foreign affairs, stepped forward and read loudly: "Welcome to the City of Generosity (this newly named town)."

"As you can see, this city is a newly emerging port city, and it is the lifeline connecting the New World and the North Sea. As long as this waterway exists, it can shorten the voyage by at least half a year, and reach the second half of the Great Sea Route from the North Sea."

"This city will definitely become an important cargo distribution point. I believe everyone can see this."

Hearing this, many businessmen nodded.

As the saying goes: if there is a 50% profit, capital will take risks; if there is a 100% profit, capital will dare to risk hanging; if there is a 300% profit, capital will dare to

Trample all laws in the world.

As for the route from the North Sea to the New World, the profit even exceeded 300%. The only law it violated was doing business with the powerful Yonko Pirates.

However, the World Government is also doing business with the pirate group, and even invited seven powerful pirates to become the Shichibukai, and also required the Shichibukai to pay a part of the plunder proceeds.

Many people were aggrieved. Why were only the state officials allowed to set fires and the common people not allowed to light lamps?!

"We sell shops and residences to the outside world, and the construction height of each shop has requirements." Zhuge Liang signaled the staff to use a projector phone to show a map of the entire island.

Zhuge Liang held a small stick and guided everyone's attention, pointing to various commercial streets, food streets, warehouse areas and other areas, and introduced: "The land for the houses sold this time only accounts for one-fifth of the total, and the remaining shops and land will be in

Then they will be sold in batches.”

Many merchants had regretful expressions on their faces. They were the first merchants to hear the news and came the fastest. They wanted to buy as many stores as possible. Unexpectedly, the Dawn Pirates actually resorted to purchasing restrictions.

However, some regional merchants whose distances were too far or whose sources of information were relatively slow could not reach the City of Generosity in time and could only miss this time.

You cannot sell all the land at once. According to Eric's life experience in his previous life, if too much land is sold too quickly, the government may run out of money in the future, and even economic construction will be affected.

Zhuge Liang also agrees with Eric's idea. We cannot let a few people take up most of the benefits. We must try to include the majority of people and bundle them into a community of interests. Maybe the navy will attack again later with generous support, and there will be a bunch of young men from the participating countries to help.

Deliver the message in advance.

When introducing various regions and building requirements, Zhuge Liang also added the tax rate and made it clear what penalties would be imposed if tax evasion occurred.

Eric added at the end: "What Zhuge Liang said is what I mean. As long as you do business honestly, the officials of China will never take your needle and thread!"

Many businessmen nodded in agreement.

During the bidding stage, Zhuge Liang made full use of his eloquence in talking to other scholars and sold the land in a poor location at a high price, and the land in a good location at a sky-high price, leaving Eric stunned.

After the auction of shops, land, and shipyard orders, Tom, a chubby figure, recorded the tonnage of cargo ships that each businessman wanted to buy.

"These boats all need to be made to order." Tom looked over the order, estimated the time, and confirmed it one last time: "It will take two months at the earliest for the boat to be launched, and subsequent orders may have to wait about a year and a half. Is that okay?

?”

Everyone also understands that ships cannot be built in one day, and ships that do not require wind power can be manufactured by only one shipyard in China, and no other shipyard in the world.

So everyone nodded in agreement.

Eric was lenient in collecting money. Some merchants did not bring enough deposits and had to issue IOUs first. Eric also believed that no one would dare to default on his account.

After many businessmen left, Tom asked in surprise: "But, we obviously have better engines, why do we only sell boats with steam engines?"

"You have to be cautious in everything, Mr. Tom." Eric replied with a smile and winked: "If someone backhand sells the ship to the Navy Headquarters and allows the Navy to obtain powerful warships to fight with us, wouldn't we suffer a loss?

?”

"So that's it..." Tom nodded, and then said, "I understand."

Eric continued: "The speed of a steam engine ship is seventeen or eighteen knots, which is much faster than the maximum speed of a sailing battleship, which is thirteen knots. So, Mr. Tom, you don't need to worry."

…

"North Sea, it's so cold...!" It had been three or four days since Yamato set foot on the North Sea. Under the destroyer's speed of more than 20 knots, the surveillance ship sent by the Warring States Period was completely unable to keep up. In just a moment, the field of vision was lost.

The goal to chase.

The navy could only use the charts to order the North Sea branch in the direction of the Dawn Pirates' direction to dispatch ships to conduct limited surveillance.

However, due to the huge difference in speed, they were easily thrown away by the Dawn Pirates.

"This is the north." Robin, who was wearing a coat, walked up to Yamato, looked at the bouncing Yamato with a smile, opened his mouth and let out a white breath, and the white steam quickly dispersed in the air.

Yamato asked curiously: "Robin, have you been to Beihai before? However, your hometown seems to be Xihai, right?"

"Yeah." Robin nodded slightly and said casually: "I followed Eric to Beihai before and met a few interesting new people."

"Oh?" Yamato asked: "Newcomer, who is from Beihai? Is it Yoshino? Or Reiku?"

"None of them." Robin shook his head and said, "They did not follow the team and continued to practice in Beihai."

"So that's it..." Yamato nodded, with a rather depressed look on his face.

Robin smiled and comforted: "But if we are lucky, we might be able to meet them."

"Yeah!" Yamato nodded heavily, and then said: "Obviously I am a member of the same pirate group, but I don't know them, as if they exclude me alone... This feeling is really bad."

"Don't blame Eric, because they are a bit weak. Once our relationship with them is exposed, it may lead to death."

"I understand!" Yamato's tone became brighter again.
