Chapter 515 Conspiracy, Overt Conspiracy

Rumors are rumors because of their uncertainty.

The original accurate information has been added to a large amount of personal understanding by the recipients during the long process of dissemination, regardless of whether the communicators really intended to delete, modify or adjust the information itself.

Tone, action, demeanor.

The information conveyed by words will change depending on the person transmitting the information, and everyone will choose to interpret it according to their own values.

The captains' conversations are often hoarse like the sea breeze, the workers' speech is as short and powerful as forged steel, and the bureaucrats always use complicated attributives to transform a message into a description for their internal communication.

Distortion and distortion of information during transmission are inevitable.

Therefore, the news that the industrial command ship was under construction spread to Yate City with the wind.

The report the Governor received clearly stated:

‘The enemies in distant airspace are already building large shipyards and preparing to build large warships to expedition to other airspaces. ’

The governor pushed up his monocle and looked at the serious-looking spy, hesitant to speak.

"Mr. Governor... it's just a ship that has just started to be built... Do we need to be so worried? What's more, they may not necessarily attack us."

The mayor, who was also his secretary, carefully raised his question.

"Maybe they just want to use these large ships to fight against the monsters on the empty island? After all, they have arrived in this world for a while."

War, war is the most uneconomical action.

In other words, the risk of this economic action is usually much greater than that of normal trade behavior.

Once a war breaks out, the city he controls will be burned down immediately due to the flames of war, which brings hundreds of thousands of trade volume a year due to trade.

And the other party is the same.

What maintained the peace between them was the tacit secret agreement.

There is no need for either party to propose, the intervening interests will make the decision for them...when resources are exhausted and there is no need to maintain a balance of interests.

This balance will only emerge after the resources within their respective areas of control are exhausted.

A three-hundred-meter... three-hundred-meter ship... This is already a battleship-level aerostat.

"Even if they are used to fight enemies on the islands, those ships can definitely be equipped with heavy weapons suitable for large ships."

The question is not whether they want to, but whether they can.

There are no unthinkable things in this world, only things that can be done... When they can take action, the Governor believes that outsiders will not greet him friendly.

Heavy weapons have an overwhelming advantage against small ships.

The governor asked the spy responsible for monitoring rumors to go down first. He wanted to calm down in the office.

Escorts, frigates, destroyers, cruisers, capital ships.

Damn it! Didn't we see those new guys spinning around on the frigate about thirty meters away before? Why are we starting to build large ships over 300 meters now?

Do they have the ability to build such a large ship?

The governor was prepared for these outsiders to build ships. As long as the scale of the ships they built did not exceed the largest ship under his control, he did not even think about an expedition.

And where did the dry docks they used to build large ships come from? It took them a whole year just to build a usable large dock dock.

Do those outsider buildings grow out of the soil? He doesn't understand.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain how they were able to stack the buildings like mountains in such a short period of time and then make them operate at high speed.

Ji Lin might say it's profit. The income from mining on Sky Island is comparable to the entire output of his territory.

But in any case, in order to increase income, large transport ships are indispensable.

"If they equip large ships with weapons, they will turn around and deal with us after dealing with the problem on the empty island."

The Governor's original plan of hanging out here for a few years, saving up a sum of money and then honorably retiring and getting out looked like it was going to go bankrupt.

"Mr. Governor... How about we and the Kingdom request technical assistance for resource assistance... I heard that the Kingdom... no, everyone suffered heavy losses in the world expedition effort."

The governor's secretary changed the topic and pointed to the situation in the kingdom.

It seems to be a clear indication that the Governor can use this as an excuse to give himself some benefits.

"Um..."

The Governor nodded.

In fact, there is no need to fight with the opponent at all, as long as he finds a way to extend the peace period.

He believes that the other party will also make deals with him based on trade.

Leave the rest of the issues to the people behind you.

Since you are not responsible for fighting, then just run away after fishing and feed the gentlemen in parliament with plenty of food.

Request fleet support from within the kingdom so that the port can begin building a new large fleet.

Then, when necessary, some camouflaged floating ships can be dispatched to conduct sneak attacks and hinder the work progress of outsiders.

If you advance, you can control an armed force of your own, and if you retreat, you can escape with the island's assets...and then leave the mess to the next lucky person who takes office.

A perfect plan.

How this stall develops in the end is none of his business. He is just a person who comes here to work. As long as his grades are good enough... there will always be a path that suits him when he goes back.

Of course...you can't do things like harassment by yourself. If you are discovered, it will be difficult for both parties to step down.

"Secretary, send some old-fashioned fast airships to the outsiders in our territory."

You know what to do with the rest.

Let the outsiders fight against the outsiders, let them consume each other... Even the wild dogs need to be loosened.

The outsiders are not united, and different outsiders often fight for exploitable mineral veins. The battles are so cruel and violent that even the governor can't help but smack his lips.

Set up a privateering port to help them sell the stolen goods.

The governor figured out all the joints, stretched his waist, and picked up the bone china cup on the table.

The soft white milk tea swayed in it.

This is a specialty sent by the outsiders through the subhuman captains, and it is quite exquisite porcelain.

He likes it very much.

Not only because it looks good, but also because such porcelain only needs to be made with special clay from Sky Island, and it can be sold in the kingdom at more than three times the import price.

It's really hard for those subhuman captains who run businesses in the middle and make a little profit.

After all, the real profits come from the two trading ports.

Who doesn't like these beautiful and cold crafts?
