Sky City.
The five silver fingers of the Silver Hand gathered again.
"Ouyang Shuo is not a simple young man. At such a young age, he already has a global perspective. He not only knows how to forge ahead, but also knows how to conceal his strength. He is much better than us," said Number One.
Perhaps it was because he was thinking of his grandson, Jack, but he was not in a good mood.
Number Two was even more bored. In this round of global turmoil, his grandson Di Chen did not even get a chance to appear. He was completely reduced to a supporting role.
"We have indeed underestimated this young man." Said Number Three, who was also William's grandfather. Perhaps influenced by his grandson, Number Three had a good impression of Ouyang Shuo.
"What strategy do you think we should adopt to deal with Great Xia? Should we continue to be tough, or should we take this opportunity to reconcile and shift our focus to the Academics?" asked Number One.
"No matter what strategy we adopt, we still can't take the Academics lightly." Number Three paused for a moment before continuing, "Do you think we can absorb Ouyang Shuo into the organization?"
"Huh?"
Number Three's proposal made the others very surprised.
"Absolutely not!" Number Two was the first to object.
"Why not? Although Ouyang Shuo is a commoner, he will not always be one. Didn't the intelligence report say that he is consciously nurturing the Ouyang family? This shows that we are on the same path. "
Number Two said, "The president has been trying to rope in Ouyang Shuo. How can he be used by us?"
"Where there is a will, there is a will!" Number Three was confident. "Judging from the attitude of the Academics towards Great Xia, the president must not have succeeded yet. In this case, we still have a chance. "
"That won't do!" Number Two's attitude was very firm.
Seeing this, Number Three's expression suddenly changed, and he said mockingly, "Number Two, your unconditional objection is because you are worried that once Ouyang Shuo joins the organization, Great Zhou will no longer have a place in the Huaxia region, right?"
"What a joke, when has Great Zhou ever been afraid?!" Number Two said loudly, but he was somewhat lacking in confidence.
Seeing this, Number Three stopped arguing and let everyone make a decision.
Number One looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "Everyone can slowly discuss Number Three's proposal. There is no need to be impatient." This was called delaying tactics.
In the Silver Hand, No. 3 had always followed No. 1 closely.
Number Three's attitude represented Number One's attitude to a certain extent, but seeing that Number Two's attitude was firm, Number One could only temporarily suppress the matter to prevent internal discord.
Even so, Number Two still looked very unhappy.
Obviously, Number One did not completely reject this proposal, which made Number Two very dissatisfied.
Number One continued, "Number Three's suggestion has reminded us that we don't have to relentlessly pursue and attack Ouyang Shuo. He's not our enemy, he might even be our friend."
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
Number Four and Number Five also agreed with this judgment.
"Since that is the case, we will accept Great Xia's goodwill." Number One slapped the table and said, "For the next period of time, we should shift our focus to the Academics. Our President is not simple."
…
At the same time, in the Presidential Courtyard.
Perhaps it was an illusion, but compared to before, the wrinkles on the face of the Federation President had deepened. His back, which was watering the plants, also seemed a little hunched, indicating that this old man had been overworked recently.
Naturally, what troubled the Federation President was the matter of the organization.
Recently, this old man, who had always been wise and farsighted, suddenly realized that he was actually unable to control the situation. There was already a new force within the organization that was secretly challenging his authority.
Because of the surging undercurrents within the organization, the old man naturally could not take care of Great Xia.
As an announcement from Great Xia spread throughout the world, the matter was settled. A bitter smile appeared on the old man's face. "The fledglings are slowly growing up, we have already missed the best opportunity. I really don't know if this is good or bad. "
In the silent courtyard, a low sigh could be heard.
…
Naturally, Ouyang Shuo did not know what kind of waves his actions had caused.
As a few battles came to an end, Ouyang Shuo was so busy that he was dizzy and disoriented. He had to deal with the aftermath one by one. The first one was the Maldives that had been taken down.
The imperial court had decided to establish the Maldives County and assign it to the imperial court. The prisoners of war would be reorganized into a garrison regiment that would be responsible for guarding the archipelago and the safety of the port.
At the same time, in order to match the Maldives County's position as a supply point in the Indian Ocean, the imperial court would allocate 500,000 gold coins for the construction of local commercial facilities and port.
Next, they would migrate 100,000 people to populate the Maldives County and develop agriculture and animal husbandry.
In the future, the Maldives County would not only be a supply point. The imperial court was also preparing to build this place into a resort to attract players to sightsee and relax as one of the economic growth points.
The Indian Ocean Fleet's station would also be slightly adjusted.
Among the five formations, the first formation was stationed in Star State County and was also the fleet's headquarters. The second formation was stationed in the Maldives County, the third formation was stationed in Somalia, and the fourth formation was stationed in the Auckland area.
The remaining fifth formation would act as a maritime mobility training formation and patrol back and forth in all four areas.
In view of the fact that the Indian Ocean Fleet's patrol area was too vast and the enemy's situation was complicated, Ouyang Shuo took this opportunity to order the Cliff Mountain Fleet to be responsible for the entire South China Sea's patrol mission.
Next was the handling of the Hawaiian Islands.
The imperial court would officially establish the Hawaiian County and assign it to the imperial court. In view of the strategic position of Hawaii and the fact that there were no teleportation arrays for the time being, the construction effort would only be greater than that of the Maldives County.
Ouyang Shuo gritted his teeth and directly allocated 1.5 million gold coins to assist in the construction of the Hawaiian County. At the same time, they would migrate 300,000 people to Hawaii to develop the land.
Unlike the Maldives County, which was a game zone, the Hawaiian Islands could only be regarded as a wilderness area. Before the Great Xia Fleet and the Freedom Fleet visited, they were just desolate islands.
There were neither a large number of native people nor a strong city.
Moreover, they were separated by the ocean. The construction difficulty was many times higher than that of the Maldives County. However, the Hawaiian County could not be lost. Ouyang Shuo could only grit his teeth and bear with it.
One and a half million gold coins and three hundred thousand immigrants, and this was only the first batch.
If he really wanted to complete the construction of the Hawaiian County, he would have to at least multiply it by several times. Ouyang Shuo was only looking forward to getting a teleportation talisman and building the teleportation array as soon as possible.
Otherwise, it would be too inconvenient and unsafe.
Fortunately, the Hawaiian County was not really useless. When the South American sea route was completely opened, it would not only be a resort, but it would also be a place that merchant ships traveling to and from the Pacific Ocean had to pass through. It had great potential.
As for the construction funds, it was also a matter of time.
