The Great King of Pirates

Early the next morning, Valpo rushed to the venue, and Isha and Weibull had a special lounge area. Even the world government has specially prepared a place for the guards of each king to practice and compete, so that the entourage will not be bored.

Before Valpo left, after seeing Weibull's eager expression and repeatedly emphasizing that he should not hurt anyone, he handed over the right to take care of him to Isa, and then went to the meeting with confidence.

If this stupid big man who is not light or heavy is allowed to go crazy, it is estimated that after the morning meeting, the Magnetic Drum Kingdom will become the public enemy of the world.

After entering the venue, most of the kings had already arrived, and Valpo, dressed in bronze and gold-encrusted full-body armor and with a white cloak fluttering behind him, instantly became the center of attention.

Many kings are considering whether to get themselves a set of armor when they return home, and in any case, it does seem to be very high.

Valpo nodded to the kings, then walked up to Joseph and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Joseph, I don't know what today's topic is. "

Yesterday's topic was the sharing of military expenses of the Navy, but before he participated, it was already over, and I wonder if the next topic has already begun.

"It should still be a question of the burden of military spending on the Navy. Joseph also had a headache. "You know, there are more and more pirate attacks on countries now, and many country owners have complained about the poor handling of the navy. When you didn't come yesterday, there were already many kings clamoring for a reduction in military spending. "

"Is there any difficulty with Uncle Joseph?" asked Valpo. "If so, you're welcome, just tell me. "

"It's not Bailey's problem. Joseph said: "The Land of Fire is rich in coal mines, and its industrial output is no less weak. Although it is not as rich as the Drum Kingdom, it is not a problem to bear the military expenses. "

"Why is that distress?" asked Valpo again.

"It's not because of pirates. Joseph sighed and said, "Two days ago, there was news from China that a group of pirates had boarded our coal ship and were going to come and plunder every three or five days. Not only did the losses be huge, but most of the domestic crews who were familiar with the route did not dare to continue to go to sea. "

"In the past two days, I have been talking to the Marshal of the Warring States in private, and he said that he would help me solve it. But when I went again this morning, the marshal said that there was an important task to prepare, and that there were no extra troops to send me, and that I would wait for a few months. Joseph's face wrinkled together. "In a few months, it was enough for the coal roads of the Fire Country to collapse several times. "

He is not the only one in the world that sells coal, and if he does not supply the seller, the seller will naturally buy it elsewhere. At that time, even if the route returns to normal, it will not be so simple to sell the coal mine.

"Coal mines!" Valpo came, thinking in his head.

The Magnetic Drum Kingdom has now migrated to the New Magnetic Drum Island, and all the infrastructure must be in place in one step. Among them, the demand for resources is a large amount of stone, steel, manpower, etc.

Among them, the demand for coal mines accounts for a large proportion. The laying of the electricity network will definitely spread to all places where there are people's lives. At this stage, the main way of power generation is thermal power generation, which requires a huge amount of coal mines as fuel.

However, if there is no railroad for the nearly 1 million square kilometer super-large island, not to mention the movement of people, government decrees and officials, there will be great restrictions.

The steam locomotive, on the other hand, is still powered by coal mines. In addition, Xincigu Island is a four-season island, and the population will increase in the future, and after the arrival of winter, all the firewood will be burned in the fireplace, and I am afraid that the trees on the entire island will not be enough to burn for a few years, and in the final analysis, coal mines are still needed.

"Uncle Joseph, if I'm not mistaken, the Fire Nation should be in the middle of the third route. Valpo asked.

"That's right. Joseph nodded. "I heard that the new territory of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom is in the middle of the fourth route, and the distance between our two countries is closer. "

The territory of Winter Island in the Magnetic Drum Kingdom is at the forefront of the Great Voyage, while the New Magnetic Drum Island is a distance behind Shengting Island, which can be regarded as the middle and late section.

However, it is indeed a lot closer to the Fire Country of the third route.

"If Uncle Joseph doesn't mind, the Magnetic Drum Kingdom is willing to buy coal from the Fire Country. After all, you know that the construction of the New Kingdom is inseparable from various resources, among which coal mines are also indispensable. Valpo laughed. "Of course, the Magnetic Drum Kingdom will also send troops to solve the group of pirates who have been trapped in the country of fire (Wang Wang Zhao) for you. "

Joseph was overjoyed, but he didn't expect that not only would he have one more coal mine output object, but also solve his recent major problems by the way.

He hurriedly thanked him and said, "Thank you so much, Valpo. If it weren't for you, I don't really know what to do. As a token of appreciation, I am willing to sell the coal mine to the Drum Kingdom at a price of 20% below the market price. "

One of the reductions is the love between the Magnetic Drum Kingdom and the Fire Country, and the Ishi wants to befriend Valpo, and by the way, thanks to him for helping him solve a tricky problem.

"Nice to work with, Uncle Joseph. "

"Naturally. "

The two shook hands and laughed, and made a deal. _
