The Great Age of Voyage of the Elves

Chapter 231 One God Brings Four Pitfalls
To say that pirates care about the world situation?
That must be nonsense!
The way they obtain information is generally to go ashore occasionally to listen to people bragging in taverns or bars.

So it was really hard for the confidant arranged by the fourth prince to understand how Mu and the others got this internal information.

This changed his impression of the Black Pearl for a while.

However, this does not affect his next arrangements.

"Since you already know, it can save me some tongues.

In short, in the next period of time, your scope of activities must be moved to a new route. This is a dead order and cannot be discussed. "

"it is good."

Because Mu had already guessed it when he got the information one step earlier, he was relatively not that surprised, and his answer was unusually straightforward.

The development of new air routes is a major event that can change the world!

The ancient empire of Aloha has a market that is much larger than all the colonies on the west coast of the New World combined!
At the same time, there are also a large number of special products needed by the Old World, including porcelain, spices, tea, new varieties of elves and berries, and so on.

In the past, it was a battlefield, and the air route was not open to civilians. Moreover, during the war, the coastline along the east coast of the New World was extremely dangerous. If you want to do some smuggling business, you have to risk your life.

Even so, at that time there were still businessmen Topi secretly doing business with the Aloha Empire under the protection of the expeditionary force, and even the slightest risk of losing money and human resources could not stop them. This shows how amazing the profit of this route is!

Now that the peace talks have finally progressed, the full opening of trade with the Aloha Empire means that a huge cake is being placed on the table, and naturally everyone wants to have a hand!
The Four Princes are no exception.

Mu had already foreseen this, and at the same time, the current Black Pearl has completed a round of reinforcements in the New World, with a strong army, and he is also confident to participate in this round of development.

"Are there any charts along the new route?" He asked directly.

This straightforward attitude was appreciated by the person in charge in front of him.

It's a pity that Mu didn't appreciate his answer so much.

"Currently there is only a route map, and most of the surrounding areas of the route have not been explored yet."

"What does the existing route map look like? Show me?"

"Hold on."

After waiting for a few minutes, Mu got a chart. At that moment, he really had a lot of sentences that mmp didn't know whether to say or not.

This map is too simple, so simple that there is only one route on the map, a line is drawn from the old continent to the east coast of the new continent, and there is nothing else.

"That's it?"

He looked up at the person in charge in front of him.

"Yes, there is only so much information at present. As long as this route relies on the summer monsoon in the South China Sea, it will go relatively smoothly from May to September every year."

"..." After hearing this, Mu was really speechless for a long time.

The information given by the other party is simply pitiful.

The monsoon is a piece of valuable information.

But the problem is that any flight route must contain information about monsoons or ocean currents.

The vast sea can be sailed in any direction, why is there still a fixed route?Isn't it because of the influence of monsoons and ocean currents?
Before the advent of steamships and internal combustion engines, human navigation was extremely dependent on the monsoons and ocean currents that existed naturally at sea. Even if there were elves in this world, this would still not change.

Therefore, as long as any airway exists, it must mean that there are monsoons or ocean currents. The airway itself is established based on these two things, which is not any additional information at all.

In addition, what about the supply points on the route?What about the sea area near the route?Are there any islands along the way?Is there a dangerous area outside the flight path?Is there any port available near the destination?
These are not marked on the chart...

The value of such charts is pitifully low.

It's hard for Mu to imagine that a force that is interested in participating in this scramble can only produce such a crude chart with only one line in the whole map.

"That's it?!"

He couldn't help but ask back.

However, the other party could only give an affirmative answer in embarrassment.

"Yes, that's all the information at the moment."

"Why? I don't believe that the expeditionary force has been transporting troops by this route for so many years. They really don't know any information near the route? Even if there is no information at sea, is there no information about the ports in the New World?"

The other party was even more embarrassed when asked.

It wasn't until the person in charge looked around to make sure that there were no outsiders nearby that he dared to explain in a low voice: "Mu...Captain Jack, you should have known before you set sail that not everyone in our country wants to fight for the interests of this route."

Only then did Mu calm down.

After going out for a year, he almost forgot.

In the Kingdom of Pinwheel where he lives, there is also a "pig teammate" who crazily reverses history in order to fight for his throne.

Seeing that Mu understood, the person in charge breathed a sigh of relief.

"So in this competition for the new shipping route, I'm afraid we won't be able to provide you with much support. In terms of charts, you have to figure out your own way, Captain Jack."

"Ah……"

Mu Wei only laughed at himself.

From the previous contact with Rachel, he has learned that the Gardenia Kingdom intends to invest heavily this time. Three fleets in the four-party fleet will be involved in the opening and escort of new sea routes. The royal family will also personally set up a business firm to participate in trade with the Aloha Empire.

On the other side, the attitude of the Tulip Kingdom would not be too different, they are all waiting to grab this attractive new cake.

Only the Windmill Chrysanthemum Kingdom where he is currently, because the old aristocratic landlord class in the country is too powerful, the Seventh Prince, as their leader, is frantically disrupting the situation and fighting for the throne.

In the end, with the opening of the new shipping route, a looting ship on Mu's side became their best hope for participating in the first round of the competition.

"Then will our navy invest in the new shipping route in the future? The private chamber of commerce will definitely not miss this business, right? What about the navy, will we really let our merchant ships fend for themselves?"

The person in charge coughed awkwardly.

"Of course, it doesn't mean we don't care about it completely. It's just that we can invest in limited resources in the early stage, and we need to rely on air route trade to pay back, so that we can win more fleets and divide the power of the Seventh Prince.

During this period, in order to prevent the other two countries from completely monopolizing the business on this route, you, the plundering captains, have to work hard and buy time. "

"..."

At this time, Mu really felt like queuing up and leading four pits.

At the same time, he also keenly noticed a statement from the person in charge.

"You say 'you marauding captains'?"

"Eh..." The person in charge smiled awkwardly, realizing that he had slipped his mouth.

"Sure enough, besides me, have you arranged for a new robbery captain? Can you let me meet them?" Mu asked.
