Blue sky, white clouds, golden beach.
Ogland leaned lazily in front of the window, looking at the rolling waves outside the window, and yawned in boredom. The Golden Bay was no longer as desolate as it was before. As far as the eye could see, all that could be seen was a scene of prosperity. The dilapidated old buildings had been demolished and replaced by brand-new buildings and dense crowds of people. Seeing this scene, Ogland couldn't help but recall the scene when he came here to explore with Fangzheng and the others.
"It's like a dream …"
While muttering to herself, the missy picked up the juice beside her and took a sip. She still remembered the skeletons all over the ground and the charred wreckage around. But now, all of that had disappeared without a trace. The skeletons of the sailors had been taken away by the priests sent by the Holy Cathedral, who said that they were going to be sent back to the cemetery on land for burial. The wreckage had also been demolished, and brand-new buildings had begun to be built.
"Missy, Missy!!"
At that moment, a maid rushed in with a flushed face.
"The Grande Family has also sent someone. Guess who it is? It's the patriarch of the Grande Family! He actually came in person! "
"Isn't that normal?"
Ogland closed his eyes and yawned.
"Bruce, Sverre, Grande … The three major families of the Country of Saints are all here. Do you think this is a good thing for our Platinum Family?"
"Of course it's a good thing."
Hearing Ogland's words, the maid couldn't help but blink curiously.
"This means that our Platinum Family is more valued by the Country of Saints, isn't it?"
"Hah …"
Hearing the maid's answer, Ogland let out a long sigh, then waved his hand in boredom.
"Sometimes I really envy you mortals. You don't have anything in your head. All you have to do is be happy …"
"Ugh …"
Hearing Ogland's answer, the maid was a little depressed, but she didn't care too much. After all, as a Platinum Star, Ogland had been like this since he was young. As servants, they had long gotten used to it.
"Sigh …"
Ogland helplessly stretched out his hand, pressed his forehead, and muttered to himself.
"I didn't expect it to be like this either …"
Just as Ogland complained, in the beginning, he only focused on the advantageous location of the Golden Bay and the commercial circulation. But after returning to the family and reporting the matter to his father, Ogland found that his father attached great importance to the matter. Not only did he personally allocate most of the Platinum Family's liquid funds for the reconstruction of the Golden Bay, but he also personally applied to the Holy Cathedral for the ownership of the Golden Bay.
When the Holy Cathedral intervened in the name and obtained the remaining ownership, Golden Bay, Ogland, Ogland, and finally understood the reason.
On the surface, the Golden Bay seemed to be just a relatively well-located trading port, but that was during the Age of Discovery. For the Kingdom of of Empire, the Of the Ocean ocean, the Bay wasn't the. And all of this started from the feud between the Country of Saint and the Country of Fire.
Due to its unique natural environment and powerful fleet, the Ocean ocean ocean was under the control of the Kingdom of Empire. The Kingdom of Empire, on the other hand, was a country on the continent. In addition, they had to fight against the Chaos monsters that invaded from the land, so they didn't put much effort into their navy. In the beginning, the Kingdom of Empire only had a few third-level warships to fight pirates and suppress smugglers in the ocean.
But later, the Ocean ocean of the Ocean Ocean gradually developed, and the Kingdom of Empire was a step too late. As a result, the Kingdom of Empire was strangled by the Ocean Ocean. Currently, the Ocean Ocean Ocean was in control of almost all the ocean trade routes of the Kingdom of Empire. This was, of course, unacceptable for the Kingdom of Empire.
But due to the geographical problem, it was impossible for the Kingdom of Empire to send a fleet deep into the ocean, so the two sides could only be in a stalemate.
But now, the recapture of the Golden Bay had changed this delicate stalemate.
With the geographical location of the Golden Bay, as long as the Country of Saint completely controlled this place, not only could they protect their own sea routes, but they could also prevent the Country of Fire from further invading their waters.
The reason why the Kingdom of Saint didn't attack Huang Jinwan previously was because they lacked manpower. Compared to the situation in the sea, the Kingdom of Saint was more concerned about the Chaos border on land. After all, Chaos monsters couldn't swim.
But now, since the Golden Bay had been taken back and they didn't suffer any losses, the Country of Saints would definitely take control of the Golden Bay and use it as the frontline against the Country of Fire.
It was due to this that not only did the Country of Saint mobilize their first fleet, but it was also said that a certain secret fleet that they had been secretly organizing would also make an appearance. Ogland couldn't be any clearer about the meaning behind this.
Not only that, but what gave her a headache was that after that, the Country of Fire and the Country of Wealth also sent letters, stating that they would also send their fleets to participate in this ceremony. Of course, the reasons given in the letters by these two countries were to express their friendship and mutual exchange of needs, but as long as the time of arrival of the fleets of these two countries was the same day as that of the Country of Saint, it was obvious what they were planning.
How annoying, I'm a merchant, why do I have to encounter such things!
Thinking of this, Ogland couldn't help but want to cry in her arms. What made her even more depressed was that her father actually appointed her as the representative of the Golden Bay!
Wasn't this pushing her into a pit of fire?
Really …
"Hasn't Fangzheng replied yet? When is he going to come here? "
Thinking of this, Ogland couldn't help but feel angry. She had worked so hard to deal with the nobles, deal with the diplomatic envoys of various countries, and deal with the trivial matters of the Golden Bay. But he disappeared right after signing the contract. When he was asked when he would be coming, he only replied with "I'll be there on time …". Speaking of which, when was he going to be there on time? Did he intend to let the representatives of the other countries wait for him alone?
It must be known that the ceremony this time was not only attended by the family forces of the Country of Saint, as well as the fleets of the Country of Fire and the Country of Wealth, but also the diplomatic envoys and representatives of the surrounding small countries. If Ogland didn't know that she was presiding over the groundbreaking ceremony of a port this time, she would have even thought that she was participating in some kind of world-scale conference!
As for why these envoys came here, Ogland naturally knew very well. They wanted to see if the Country of Saint had the ability to protect their maritime rights and interests. The fleet "showdown" this time was prepared for this. The Country of Saint wanted to break the monopoly of the Country of Fire on the ocean route, and the Country of Fire had to show in front of its allies that it still had enough power to control the ocean. The Country of Wealth, who was in cahoots with the Country of Fire, of course would not let go of this opportunity. After all, the wealth of the Country of Wealth was largely obtained by relying on the ocean route controlled by the Country of Fire.
Ogland originally hoped that Fangzheng would come earlier and ask him if he had any good ideas, but this bastard just refused to show up. How infuriating!
Things had developed to this point, and it was not as simple as an ordinary groundbreaking ceremony. If the Country of Saint could overwhelm the fleets of the Country of Fire and the Country of Wealth, then the dominance of the Country of Fire in the ocean would begin to waver. But on the other hand, if the fleets of the Country of Fire and the Country of Wealth still showed strength no less than that of the Country of Saint, then the status and reputation of the Country of Saint on the mainland would also crack.
It could be said that this ceremony … was even related to the future of the entire mainland.
But why am I so unlucky!
"Missy!!"
Just as Ogland hugged his head and cried in his heart, the door suddenly opened and a servant hurried in.
"We just received a report that the vanguard fleet of the Country of Saint is about to arrive!"
"I see."
Hearing this, Ogland's expression turned solemn. She stood up, tidied up her clothes, and walked out of the door.
