Chapter 670: Base Point City

The port is still called the Port of Gibraltar.

In addition, Ouyang Shuo also planned to build a medium-sized city on the limited land at the foot of the mountain, which would be used not only for business, but also as a supply center for the Mediterranean fleet.

The name of the city is called Jidian City.

The cardinal point is the center, and it also refers to the ground of the foundation. Ouyang Shuo chose this name because he hoped to build the Base Point City into a base for Shanhai City to develop ocean-going trade in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.

Because the national war has not yet ended, Shanhai City's occupation of the port is not yet legal, and there is a possibility of changing its flag at any time. According to the rules of the national war, the condition for the end of the national war is either the destruction of a country; or the signing of an armistice treaty by the two sides, or the cession of land, or compensation.

Only when the Spanish royal family formally recognizes Shanhai City's legal occupation of the port of Gibraltar can the construction of Key Point City enter the fast lane and the post station with the domestic territory can be opened.

How to achieve this goal requires Ouyang Shuo to mediate in person.

*************

August 1, Gibraltar port.

The scorched port of Gibraltar turned into a huge construction site. Tens of thousands of sailors took off their military uniforms, turned into workers, and thoroughly cleaned up the port facilities and the residential buildings on the open space.

Ouyang Shuo's order was to clean up the base point city within three days.

Leaving the large army in Base Point City, Ouyang Shuo led two naval battalions and went to Atlantis Island again. For this visit, Ouyang Shuo used the name of the Lord of Shanhai City.

That said, this is an official visit.

If the Mediterranean Fleet wants to really take root, it will definitely not work without friends in the Mediterranean. If only relying on the port of Gibraltar, fleet replenishment will be a problem.

Atlantis is undoubtedly an excellent ally.

In Ouyang Shuo's view, the two can complement each other perfectly.

This trip to Atlantis Island, Ouyang Shuo was not empty-handed. Apart from top-grade tea, top-grade porcelain and the purest spices specially used for gifts, Ouyang Shuo also brought a special gift.

At the end of the seabed salvage, the ocean-going fleet seized more than 5,300 Spanish artillery pieces.

The ocean-going fleet left behind ten Spanish artillery pieces, ready to take them back to Shanhai City, and hand them over to the No. 7 Research Institute to dismember them, so as to provide reference for the development of new artillery pieces in Shanhai City.

The newly formed Mediterranean fleet left 3,000 artillery pieces for its own use. According to the plan, 300 cannons can be placed on the walls of the base point city.

For the remaining 2,000 cannons, Ouyang Shuo planned to donate 1,000 to Atlantis Island directly. If these artillery are deployed on the outer islands, it will greatly enhance the defense of Atlantis Island.

After all, the battle puppet in the outer circle is a strategic weapon and should not be used lightly.

The island of Atlantis has just risen, so naturally no one would think of doing anything wrong. But in the middle and late stages of the game, the competition for hegemony among the countries intensified, all the heroes rose together, and the overlord came to the world.

By then, the fat piece of Atlantis might be missed.

Ouyang Shuo vaguely remembered that in Gaia's previous life five years ago, the island of Atlantis was threatened by the Spaniards. In this life, because of Ouyang Shuo's existence, Atlantis Island was born a year and a half earlier, and the Spanish Armada was destroyed. Everything will be different.

Even so, it does not mean that Atlantis can sit back and relax.

It is the best policy to plan ahead.

...

Kalia was extremely happy about Ouyang Shuo's visit and arranged a grand welcome ceremony. The bright red carpet was laid from Beigang Port to the royal palace on the inner island.

Kalia even led the ministers of the kingdom to personally meet Ouyang Shuo and his party at the port.

"The Marquis of Lianzhou said that he has no clothes, and pays homage to Her Majesty the Queen."

After Ouyang Shuo got off the boat, he bowed to Kalia to show respect.

"Lord Shirtless, welcome to Atlantis again!" Kalia tried her best to control her emotions, and introduced the minister of the kingdom to Ouyang Shuo gracefully.

I said goodbye in a hurry before, but I didn't have a chance to meet each other.

Of course, many ministers were actually appointed by Kalia in a hurry these days. In the surviving place, they linger on, and they don't have the intention to form a complete kingdom structure.

Everything is for survival.

On the ground, everything is different. The people of Atlantis must show their strength and unity to the outside world, and all institutions were established in a short period of time.

Kalia himself was officially crowned king, wearing the crown.

Important facilities such as scientific research institutions and factories on the island are also stepping up debugging, striving to put them into use as soon as possible. The island of Atlantis is recovering with astonishing speed, bursting with inexhaustible vitality.

During the exchange of greetings, the accompanying Shenwuwei and sailors carried boxes of gifts off the ship and piled them up on the pier to form a hill. A thousand Spanish cannons lined up one by one, and the scene was very shocking.

Seeing this, the Minister of the Kingdom looked surprised.

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, "Shanhai City was able to defeat the Spanish fleet this time, thanks to the gift from Her Majesty the Queen. According to our oriental tradition, we pay attention to courtesy and reciprocity. Be careful, and please accept it with a smile."

As soon as the voice fell, it immediately caused a commotion.

The Minister of the Kingdom looked at Ouyang Shuo in a different way, from being wary at the beginning to grateful.

Ten thousand years ago, the people of Atlantis created a great civilization, how could they be fools. The hidden dangers that Ouyang Shuo was worried about before, the ministers of the kingdom, including Kalia, have also realized it.

It was not easy for the Atlanteans to truly gain a foothold in the Mediterranean. Because of this, they will continue to restore various facilities on the island day and night, in order to gain the power to protect themselves.

It's just that all of this takes time.

The thousand cannons presented by Ouyang Shuo were undoubtedly a timely gift, and immediately armed Atlantis Island to the teeth.

In this way, Atlantis gained a rare respite.

Previously, Kalia's excessive intimacy with Ouyang Shuo made the ministers of the kingdom very worried, worried that their queen would be confused by the strange person in front of them.

Now it seems that they are worrying too much.

Although the young man in front of him was not very old, he was extremely generous in his work, and he did not have the slightest intention to take advantage of the Atlanteans. The combination of the two is indeed a good choice.

"Since it was a gift from the Lord Without Clothes, we accept it." Kalia smiled, and the smile in his eyes was even wider, and he led the way briskly, "Lord Without Clothes, please come inside!"

The mighty team walked towards the palace in the inner circle.

In the past few days, players have found Atlantis Island one after another and started to do tasks on the island. Especially on the islands in the middle circle, players can be seen everywhere.

Such a huge scene naturally alarmed the players who were doing the task.

Seeing that Lianzhou Hou and his party were received by Atlantis with such a high standard, players from all over the world were jealous, and at the same time, they became more afraid and valued Shanhai City.

"Depending on the situation, the Marquis of Lianzhou has an extremely close relationship with the Queen of Atlantis." The spies from various countries among the players secretly wrote down this detail.

As for the thousand Spanish cannons, they dazzled the player's eyes even more.

For the embarrassment of Lianzhou Hou, they only have to worship in their hearts at this time. Anyone who knows a little bit knows that the Spanish artillery is the most advanced artillery in the Mediterranean so far. A artillery is worth 500 gold coins.

That's it, it's still priceless.

A thousand Spanish cannons, by the most conservative estimate, would be worth no less than half a million gold coins. For ordinary players, this is an astronomical figure, and it is a fortune that they cannot earn in ten years of gaming.

The Marquis of Lianzhou is so generous that they can't understand it.

...

Ouyang Shuo, who was walking on the red carpet, noticed out of the corner of his eye the players on both sides pointing, and smiled inwardly. Isn't the purpose of his high-profile visit this time to attract the attention of the Mediterranean countries? !

Ouyang Shuo wanted to clearly convey a message to the countries that the relationship between Shanhai City and Atlantis Island was very close, so I advised them to stop unnecessary careful thinking.

The current Ouyang Shuo has long passed the stage of deterring opponents only by force. Appropriate diplomatic means can sometimes be even more effective than force.

...

The inner island, the palace reception room.

"Brother Wuyi, Kalia is very happy that you came to see me." No outsiders were around, Kalia immediately removed her disguise as a queen, and became close to Ouyang Shuo.

Ouyang Shuo was calm and said with a smile, "Besides seeing you, I have something to ask for my brother."

"Tell me." Kalia seemed even more eager than Ouyang Shuo, "As long as Kalia can do it, he will definitely go all out."

Accompanying Kalia to meet the guests was Aras, the Chief Minister of the Kingdom of Atlantis, a gray-haired old man. Arras has a special status. He is also the auxiliary minister appointed by Kalia's father.

Seeing Her Majesty's promise, Arras frowned, thought for a while, but still didn't stop him. Although Her Majesty the Queen is young, she is actually extremely intelligent and sophisticated.

At this time, it's better not to refute the Queen's face.

Ouyang Shuo casually glanced at Arras, and flashed a flash of admiration, "I hope Shanhai City can form a strategic alliance with Atlantis City, and advance and retreat together in Mediterranean affairs."

"Cough." Aras coughed and interrupted Kalia's words subtly. At this time, he had to be a bad guy and asked, "May I ask, what is the specific covenant, and what obligations do both parties have? "

Seeing Kalia, she restrained herself from speaking. She also knows that forming an alliance is a major event and a national affair, and personal feelings must not be mixed in it. Otherwise, it is irresponsible to the people.

Ouyang Shuo didn't take it seriously, he also liked this kind of open and honest conversation.

"I have drawn up a few basic principles, and I will share them with you for discussion, and I will try to finalize them today. As for the specific details, I will leave them to the officials of both parties to negotiate. What do you think?"

"This is the best." Kalia smiled, she didn't like to quarrel with Ouyang Shuo for the benefit of their respective city-states.

Let the people below be responsible for these red neck matters.
