Chapter 108 Key Points of Strategy

Indeed, as Louis IX observed, the Neo-Ajaccio in Corsica was growing rapidly. This is a city that mainly processes, assembles and exports from incoming materials. In the depths of Corsica, another castle that mainly focuses on mining raw materials and rough processing of raw materials and agricultural production is under construction. In addition to the overly tall walls, the castle is the warm-up house inside.

No matter the wind, rain or anything else, it has no effect on such a city. The entire inner wall is full of mirrors for reflection, and the sunlight is hit into the flower houses. Even at night, strong gas lights also provide lighting. This technology is still high-tech for China even when it was put into Martin's era.

Here, Martin developed a method of high-tech agricultural production. After all, this is an era when land is not valuable. Building buildings are almost cost-effective except for materials and labor. Moreover, such buildings assembled with cement columns are built very quickly. For better lighting, they are circular buildings. Sunlight or those lights used for filling light are reflected to the middle building by mirrors inside the city walls with special angles reflecting light.

There, vegetables and grains are used at least twice as fast as the outside world, and they grow without being disturbed by temperature. Of course, in this era, heating is not a problem, and lighting is not a problem for Huaxia Island, which has mastered the technology of gas lamps. As for the internal planting in the flower house, it adopts a modern matrix soilless cultivation method composed of sawdust, sand, and fertilizers.

Without the problem of chemical fertilizers, Martin solved it with a biogas tank. All the organic matter such as green plants, straw, manure, urine, etc., produce biogas combustion through fermentation in the biogas tank. At the same time, the "ripe" of the machine-grained materials form the substrate for plant planting with sawdust, sand and stone. In this way, the most basic three-dimensional soil-free loading culture is created.

Originally, Martin didn't want to do this, but the areas occupied by the Chinese Empire are all islands. As we all know, except for large islands like Hainan or Taiwan, Irian, the development of agriculture on small islands is always difficult. The barrenness of Corsica and the interference of the Mediterranean climate are the reasons for the slow development of agriculture here. This so-called "matrix soilless three-dimensional cultivation" system is Martin's way of getting up for China at this moment. Whether in the desert or in the island, as long as there is enough water, a large amount of food and vegetables can be produced. Louis IX is not clear about these things. Just like in the New Ajaccio, the factories where slaves stayed in the city walls did not allow people outside to enter.

Although Corsica was a very unexpected gain for Zhao Fubo, he once liked Marhua Island, which was a small area for defense. However, Corsica was also a good choice for him. At least it was not far from Spain, and it was easy to respond to the combat bases on both sides of the Strait of Gibraltar that must be captured.

At the same time, larger islands can also be used as the foothold of the Chinese Empire in Europe in the future. If you rely solely on Maltese Island, it would be too narrow. It is precisely because of this consideration that Corsica is now quickly establishing a systematic work, home, port and warehousing system together with a large number of European prisoners of war and slaves sold from Crete.

In terms of the army and navy, after having enough troops in the future, they will also station troops in all bases of the Chinese Empire world. When Zhao Fu was still drawing maps, Zhao Fubo had already remembered them in his heart. Those places must occupy and establish huge and complete military and livelihood bases as soon as possible. Among the global strategic points, Gibraltar and the Suez Canal in the future are naturally the top priority. However, the canal area is now the land of China. Although the Egyptians and Arabs are allowed to share it, the sovereignty there is absolutely no one to argue about.

This is a consideration of the future global strategy of the Chinese Empire. For unexpected islands like Corsica, since they decide to accept them, they must be built according to the standards of China's overseas bases. The first island does not allow any foreign race to exist, either leave, naturalize, or die. The second is that there must be an agricultural production base that can be self-sufficient. Zhao Fubo is not very worried about development. This place is a commodity distribution center of the Chinese Empire near Europe and a base for the European arms supply production industry. If Europeans like to fight, it will be a profitable investment in the future.

This consideration is undoubtedly correct, but it also made Huaxia Island, which requires money to build everywhere, tense again. Even the construction materials and bonuses originally prepared for the two sides of the Strait of Gibraltar have been temporarily thrown into the construction of Corsica.

When Louis IX came to Zhao Fubo with concern, he was still patrolling the busy industry in the city of New Ajaccio. The prisoners lived a pretty good life, at least 10 times more hygienic than in Europe, and the sufficient food all made them very satisfied. The most satisfying was that they had income as slaves here.

Unfortunately, before they became Chinese, the money was just a number they had in the bank. When one day they became real Chinese, they could not only enjoy various benefits from Chinese, but also receive income from banks. If those incomes were good, they should find that being a slave in Corsica was much higher than being a soldier in Italy.

As mentioned earlier, because the products have super huge profits of 100 times, the income of Chinese people is much higher than that of other countries and regions. And for the time being, the economic management within China is still similar to that of enterprises. There is no such thing as economic crisis. However, private enterprises that begin to appear in China will cause such things to happen. Then we will see how Zhao Fubo and his teacher Martin will deal with it.

At the harbor, the slaves were watching, throwing blocks of cement-connected stones into the sea, explaining to Juliana the purpose of these things.

"This is the foundation of the port breakwater. In the future, when these stones will form a solid base, they can withstand the huge pressure of mud and wave protection. No matter what the sea conditions are, the ship workers in the port will never be affected too much."

Just as Zhao Fubo was explaining these things to Juliana, he saw Louis IX coming in a hurry. From his steps, Zhao Fubo felt that something happened!
