After receiving generous military assistance from two national-level big money owners, Luo Zhengdao's privateer fleet, which replaced the cannon, has a new look. After patrolling his team, he couldn't help but feel like he was exhaling and raising his eyebrows. Soon, Luo Zhengdao suppressed this excitement. The first step in the Long March, and now he is too shallow to be happy.

The overthrow of the goblin empire's rule over the main continent is not something that can be done with just a touch of mouth. It is like the old world's perfection of the ageless, and the diary of saving the country and opening the border, but in the end it can only leave a laughing stock. To launch a counterattack plan in a real way, it is easy to say, but it is difficult and dangerous to do it!

The land of the country is lost, the land of the people is lost, and the land of the people is lost, and the land of the people is gained. Even Luo Zhengdao, who has a university diploma, has only a semi-professional level of 25 eyes, and this kind of common sense thing will not be blind. Following the military principles mentioned above, Luo Zhengdao wisely brought a group of loyal and reliable direct troops from Qiongzhou, and then used this group of people as the backbone to continue to recruit professional pirates who were either greedy for profit or did not care about who they worked for, thus forming this semi-formal pirate fleet. To this day, everything seems to be on track, and he is immediately facing the next tricky choice.

Everyone who has read military history understands that the bandit tactics that do not operate a base can only bring endless damage and cannot build a country. Such bandits who lack construction capabilities cannot become a climate.

At present, Luo Zhengdao, who has sufficient military strength, needs to find a piece of land for rest and rest to lay a solid foundation, and start building his own rear, and eventually form his own blood-making ability. Otherwise, even if it is a great army that wins every battle, as long as it loses on the front line, it will only be the desolate back of watching his subordinates scatter.

Regarding Luo Zhengdao, who was holding the way of thinking of time travelers and not following the ordinary path, the pirates under his command did not understand very well. Based on the simple idea of ​​"although I don't understand well, I always feel that it is so powerful", these subordinates who "are not clear" still chose to follow Luo Zhengdao's instructions.

After the turf-style military parade, all the fleet boarded the ship and started their busy daily work. One-eyed dragon Fore Chopin and first mate Brando Feiyan appeared together in the captain's room of the flagship Avengers. They both placed a thick stack of papyrus on Luo Zhengdao's desk, and then, Fore Chopin spoke:

"Sir Earl, you have screened the island enclaves and rocks within the Star Sea as you requested. This is an alternative directory. Please make a decision!"

There is no need to doubt at all. Parchment made from cattle, sheep and other livestock leather, and even monster leather, is absolutely excellent in terms of quality, resistant to storage and not afraid of flooding. The only disadvantage is that it is too expensive. In addition to making large books for temples, wizards, naturalists and nobles, ordinary people dare not imagine that parchment is used for writing reports, so it is so burnt!

The papyrus placed in front of Luo Zhengdao is indeed much more affordable than parchment in terms of price, but the texture is too fragile and thin, especially after it is completely dry, the movements of the hand picked up are a little larger, and in the blink of an eye the papyrus will break into a pile of unrecognizable dregs. He was deeply dissatisfied with the simple writing materials of the new world. Luo Zhengdao, who experienced many inconveniences, was even more resentful. He couldn't imagine why the senior emperor of the time traveler did not climb to the technology tree? Since he had fought against the sky and earth for his whole life, he had already made countless big things, at least you should have the technology of papermaking! No matter how you came from the Chinese cultural circle, since you were a Chinese, you didn't even remember the four classic inventions, which was outrageous!

After muttering and complaining, Luo Zhengdao jumped over all the unfamiliar words and difficult-to-read sections, and finally his eyes fell on the last page of the papyrus.

At this time, Luo Zhengdao raised his head and looked at his two subordinates, pointed at the page of papyrus, and said:

"This enclave has a large area and a good location. Why did you put it at the end?"

Brando Feiyan leaned over and looked at the content written on the papyrus, immediately showed a sudden look and explained:

"Oh, Lord Earl, this is the case. Wick Reef is a Gobi desert, lacking fresh water and not much vegetation, and you cannot cultivate the land without water. Although the sun is abundant there, it still cannot support long-term life. If we choose here, solving the problem of drinking water every day is enough to cause a headache."

Hearing the sound, he activated his skill to "let me think twice". Luo Zhengdao closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, then opened his eyes and said confidently:

"I like Wick Reef very much. What do you think?"

Fower Chopin is a loyal retainer of the Earl Fower family. He regards the interests of the Earl Fower family as more important than anything else. Even if he disobeys Luo Zhengdao's orders for this, he is willing to do so. Hearing Luo Zhengdao's arbitrary words, Old Fower immediately turned red and slapped the table in a rough voice and retorted loudly, saying:

"Sir Earl, lack of water is a big problem. Please forgive me for not being able to speak. Where do you think of it? A place like Wick Reef, where do you think of it?"

Compared to the emotional old subordinate in front of him, Luo Zhengdao's performance at this time was particularly calm and waved his hand gently and said:

"Hey, Fall, don't be excited! Come and see the geographical location of Wick Reef. The straight line distance from the southeast coast of the main continent is about 1,500 nautical miles. For the Yangwei, it is only a three- or four-day voyage. Whether we are rushing to the eastern coastal port of the main continent or using it to attack merchant fleets, it is very suitable as a starting base. The harsh environment can prevent the goblin from using its superior forces to siege for a long time. Isn't it an ideal base for advancement?"

This ambiguous reason could not convince Fal Chopin, and the old minister retorted angrily:

"My Lord Earl, if you want to debate, I can't say you. You have to think clearly that deserted islands like Wake Reef are difficult to develop, and we don't have that much money to spend."

Seeing this, Brando Feiyan said with a helping voice:

"Yes! Lord Earl, it is too much to spend on living in Wick Reef for a long time. It is better to choose another island and reef to build a base."

It seemed that the two of them were talking very well, but Luo Zhengdao had a certain idea in his heart. He narrowed his eyes, showed a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to himself:

"It's okay, the difficulties can be overcome. I decided to choose the base at Wick Reef."

Seeing that his mouth was so bad that he could not persuade Luo Zhengdao to change his previous wrong decisions, Fore Chopin and Brando Feiyan looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly and silently. After a long time of silent confrontation, he still saw that Luo Zhengdao had no intention of compromise and giving in. Fore Chopin had to reluctantly obey his orders and said unwillingly:

"Mr. Earl, if this is your final ruling, we will obey, but I urge you to consider this plan carefully and not waste your precious time and resources on this deserted island."

When Luo Zhengdao heard this, he laughed and nodded and said:

"Very good. I need to develop a detailed plan and schedule for Wick Reef, as well as a budget. I'll work hard for you guys."

In the vast sea of ​​stars surrounding the outer periphery of the main continent, the number of island enclaves and rocks is difficult to count. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as brilliant stars. The number of enclaves suitable for the long-term settlement of intelligent races is far less numerous than that.

The many island enclaves that the Goblin fleet sent troops to sweep in the past few years were mostly colonies controlled by powerful countries such as the Light Dynasty, the Yaling Empire and the Elf Federation on the Star Sea. They were similar to the small terrifying country established by the indigenous people of the New World. They were still unable to stabilize the main continent and chased human exiled nobles for a while. The Goblins did not free up their hands to deal with them. The Goblins did feel that their troops were insufficient. Previously, in order to chase human exiled nobles, they divided their troops to attack the Star Sea and rushed in the Star Sea. Moreover, the places where major powers did not look down on them were obviously not very good.

Knowing that this is the case, why don’t the goblins keep the big piece of fresh meat in front of them and try to chew those unpleasant hard bones? They are not stupid enough to do this.

This Wake Reef, which Luo Zhengdao favored and his subordinates tried their best to oppose, is undoubtedly one of the kind of hard bones without any oil and water, and is an unmanned island with a large land area and a very bad natural environment.

Such a barren land that is so useless that it is so harsh that even the most hard-working plants cannot hold on. The smart race in the new world has a lot of choice, and will not soak the head in water to run into a place with only a long yellow sand and scorching sun to do real estate development. Therefore, Wick Reef has always been a homeless place since history. The so-called white paper is easy to paint. Although the natural environment here is harsh and unsuitable for living, this is a good thing for Luo Zhengdao, who has a poor family. Just imagine, if you find a wealthy island, and then voluntarily or forced to gather a large number of human exiles, and run a prosperous business, this place will become a fatal point that restrains Luo Zhengdao's freedom of movement.

When the goblin fleet attacks, Luo Zhengdao does not fight, it means that people are disappointed. From then on, they are regarded as a timid rat. Don’t expect anyone to surrender. If you bit the bullet and fight, you may not have much chance of winning. Maybe you have to even put yourself in. It is like taking the initiative to find a rope to put your neck in and just waiting for the goblin to kick over the stool. Luo Zhengdao will not do this kind of business that is stable and unprofitable.

The subordinates opposed Luo Zhengdao's will to act alone. Most people believed that opening up a base on Wick Reef was purely a stupid act of dazedness, but when it was time to work, they would not disobey Luo Zhengdao's words.

Ten days later, Brando Feiyan, who was responsible for the main responsibility, rubbed a pair of panda eyes that had been stuck in the night for days and night, submitted a document to Luo Zhengdao, saying:
Chapter completed!
