Chapter 352: Operation "Dunkirk"

Tide Islands, algae oil islands.

From the name of the algae oil island, one can see the plan of the Government Affairs Office for this small island, that is, large-scale planting of green seaweed to extract vegetable oil to produce soap.

The algae oil island covers an area of ​​less than 2 square kilometers. The terrain is flat, the land is barren and there is no fresh water. There are only a few low shrubs on the island. Looking up, you can't see a tall tree.

Obviously, this island has nothing to do with the word "livable".

But it is the best place to grow green seaweed found by the Government Affairs Office.

The seabed around the island is as flat as a plain on the land, and the water depth is only about 35 meters, it is simply a natural seabed farm.

More than 100 island protection team members, carrying diving air bottles and wearing diving suits, are busy working on the bottom of the sea. Their task is to grow green seaweed.

Originally, these reserve players should stay on the training ground and receive a three-month training for recruits. However, the current territorial human resources are in short supply, and the consul lady is too lazy to recruit any more staff. With a big stroke, she pulled them all over." Farm work".

By the way, let the reserve team members exercise a lot of water. As a soldier of the sea tide leader, how can we not be proficient in water?

According to the plan, the Government Affairs Department will plant the first batch of 5,000 mu of green seaweed, 1,000 mu per day, and complete within 5 days, and the second batch of 5,000 mu will be carried out when manpower is abundant.

At this time, the team members are each holding an iron tripod with a small section of green seaweed stems fixed on it. They dive to the designated position. After burying the tripod in the sand, they emerge from the water and swim to anchor on the sea. Next to the magic boat, he took a new tripod from the members of the boat and dived into the water.

Farther away, there are magic boats patrolling the periphery.

These small boats are full of fully armed reserve members, and everyone holds weapons such as magic air guns or magic spearguns, watching the sea vigilantly to prevent large predatory fish from approaching and threatening the safety of underwater players.

On the shore of Algae Oil Island, Angela is leading sisters Aisha Rachel and Lena, watching the large group of team members float up and down on the sea, stirring the surface of the water, like a diving bird. group.

"Miss Angela, why doesn't Lord Lord fully develop the army? With the power of the magic air gun, Lord Lord can easily build an extremely powerful army, and it is not difficult to conquer all human kingdoms..."

"Why do you have to open so many factories and produce so many products? I don't think this will help much to improve the strength of the territory..."

Rachel, with a more straightforward personality, glanced at the patrol boat in the distance, and suddenly asked.

An Ji stretched out her fair and slender hands, tucked her long hair torn by the sea breeze, and asked faintly:

"What about after the conquest?"

Rachel was in a daze, and said Ai Ai:

"I think...after occupying all the kingdoms...the power of all mankind can be assembled...against the black orcs..."

Angela shook her head and said softly:

"I once asked Renault the same question, and his answer is this: conquest by force does not mean full control, on the contrary, it uses violence to break the balance of society, but it will bring more Contradictions and more violent conflicts..."

"If you are a human nobleman, if your territory is invaded by the tide leader, and the people are taken away by the tide leader, then you hate the tide leader or the black orcs more?"

Rachel blurted out:

"Of course it is the Black Orc, because the Black Orc is the enemy of life and death in the human world..."

Lina on the side couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckled, while Aisha showed a speechless expression. Seeing Rachel was about to continue speaking, she quickly reached out and pulled the corner of Rachel's clothes.

Angela was too lazy to refute this little brainless stupid girl, she just glanced at Rachel and said to herself:

"Renault said that it is harder to touch interests than to touch souls. It is not a wise method to use pure violence to deal with human nobles. Even if it succeeds, the sequelae will be very serious."

She sighed and said in a slow tone:

"At that time, many, many people, including me, you, and Asia, may not be able to'live' and see the day when Renault succeeds..."

When she said the word "alive", she emphasized her tone.

The subtext behind this sentence is very obvious, the noble forces will surely counterattack frantically and use all means to retaliate against the Hai Tide leader. Everyone around Renault must be the key target.

In the face of subsequent attacks by the transcendents and even the Upright, can Angela and Sister Aisha save their lives?

It's choking!

Rachel and Aisha looked at each other, and their expressions became solemn.

Aisha hesitated and asked:

"If violence is not used, what should be done to conquer those human kingdoms?"

Angela asked back:

"What you see now, isn't it?"

Aisha glanced at the sea with a blank look, her face was full of doubts, but her confusion was quickly answered.

Angela held up a finger and uttered a word slowly:

"commodity!"

After a moment, she began to explain in detail.

"If there are enough and good enough commodities, Hai Chao will easily control the economy of the entire human world, and naturally control all the resources of the human world, including human resources."

"Renault also said,'The economic foundation determines the superstructure.' At that time, there will be a large number of nobles who will take the initiative to move closer to the Hai Chao Ling and become the most steadfast supporter of the Hai Chao Ling."

"Reynolds referred to these nobles as'business aristocrats' or'new aristocrats', and those who were hostile to the sea tide territories as'federated aristocrats' or'old aristocrats'."

"Once the new aristocracy chooses to join the sea tide land, they will also be resisted by the old aristocracy. In order to protect their own interests, the new aristocracy will definitely take the initiative to fight against the forces of the old aristocracy."

"In other words, Hai Chao Ling doesn't have to do anything, just sit and watch the show, and at most help a bunch of new aristocrats at critical moments..."

Aisha and Rachel were stunned.

It turns out that you can still play like this...

It turns out that Lord Lord is dedicated to the development of business, but he still hides such a cryptic purpose...

The more they know about Lord Lord, the more they feel that the wisdom of this lord is truly unfathomable...

At this moment, Asia suddenly asked in a low voice:

"By the way, Miss Angela, I heard Vivienne mention that Lord Lord will go to the Thousand Lake Kingdom this time. In addition to trade, there is another plan..."

Angela nodded and said:

"Yes, Renault's plan is mainly for population."

"According to his prediction, facing the attack of the black orc army, the Thousand Lake Kingdom may not be able to resist for a few years, and it will be completely degraded. At that time, the nobles of the Thousand Lake Kingdom will definitely flee to the southern Xinghai Continent."

"But the nobles can escape, but the civilians don't have the ability. Reynolds is the idea of ​​these civilians. Rather than let them become black bastards, it is better to abduct them to the Haichao Islands."

"Renault is going to go directly to the northern border area of ​​the Thousand Lake Kingdom this time, trying to find a way to break into the local aristocratic group, to see if there is a chance to negotiate with the aristocrats and get the population from them..."

Rachel asked curiously:

"How does Lord Lord plan to negotiate?"

Angela gave the answer very simply:

"Buy it!"

Rachel blinked and asked in surprise:

"But the commoners are not the property of the lord, but the serfs are. How can the lord buy the commoners?"

Angela chuckled slightly:

"Under normal circumstances, of course it is impossible, but the Black Orc invasion is imminent. What if the local lord abandons the leader? I think most civilians don't mind following us."

"The nobles actually know that once the situation is critical, they will definitely not be able to keep the leader in the territory. As long as the Hai Chao leader pays a certain price, they are of course willing to sell the leader."

"Of course, it is more accurate to describe this practice as'transfer', and this transfer fee is actually a remuneration paid to the lord, let them take the initiative to cooperate with us..."

She sighed again and continued:

"However, there are at least 500,000 civilians in the north of the Thousand Lake Kingdom. To buy them all, it takes a very huge amount of money. My personal estimate is at least 1 million Kinnars."

Having said that, she patted her palms and turned to stare at the sisters.

"So, you, and me, must work hard to make money for Renault..."

The two sisters nodded their heads together, and Lena on the side nodded quietly.

Angela tilted her head, as if thinking of something, she added:

"I remember Renault gave this plan a very weird name, called Operation Dunkirk..."
