Chapter 132 The Branch's First
Establishing a new naval branch is not an easy task. To establish a permanent branch on Shuixianxing Island, Kuzan and Ji Guoyuan must first open up a long-term supply channel.
Because the original residents of the island moved away because of the war between the navy and the pirates, some fertile fields and orchards were left on the island. A lot of houses were built.
In order not to waste resources, the first thing Kuzan and Ji Guoyuan thought of was to fill the population first and develop maritime trade.
Only in this way can the naval branch be able to easily supply supplies. Once trade develops, merchants will naturally bring various supplies to the island to do business.
In this way, the navy's supplies do not need to sail to other towns or countries for supplies.
Just a week after the navy fleet left, Kuzan and Ji Guoyuan, who had designated the location of the branch, took more than a dozen navies to sea. They planned to go to Miguo Town, which is the closest to Shuixianxing Island. To recruit some people who are willing to come to Shuixian Island to live.
The aborigines on Shuixianxing Island moved to this rice cracker town after taking the resettlement allowance. If these people are willing, Kuzan does not mind taking them back to their hometown to live.
Of course, it is impossible to give away houses and fields unconditionally, so they will be sold at 70% of the previous settlement subsidy standard. The price reduction part is regarded as "island depreciation".
After all, the current terrain of Shuixian Xing Island has changed dramatically from before. Roger's "greeting" slash directly split the island in two. Although the crack is only a few meters wide, the crack runs through the entire island. some influence.
Although Migo Town is a small town, the actual area of the island is 200 square kilometers, and there are nearly 70,000 people living on the island.
The size of this town is already comparable to some island countries in the pirate world.
Just like its name, Migo Town is rich in rice and fruits. It is an important agricultural town at the end of the New World. It is only 1,000 nautical miles away from the G-ICE branch.
Both Kuzan and Ji Guoyuan decided that Migo Town should be included in the actual control of their branch. Stabilize the situation in the town of Migo and open up the channel, and their naval branch will have no difficulty in replenishing supplies.
A green-skinned warship was slowly heading towards the port of Migo Town. On the white sail of the warship was a huge blue seagull. On the top of the seagull, the G-ICE logo is also written in English.
As the warship approached the port of Miguo Town, the people who were busy on the port looked up one after another.
In the new world, naval warships are quite rare.
The people in Miguo Town have seen a lot of warships. After all, when the large naval forces were stationed on Shuixianxing Island, they would often come here for supplies.
However, during this period of time, there were fewer visits from the navy, and the G-ICE branch logo on this warship had never been seen by the people of Migo Town.
The fact that the navy came to the town of Migo soon spread to the island, just as Kuzan's warship sailed into the port. In the town, many residents were gathering rapidly, and soon, the crowd rushed towards the port.
Slow down, stop the boat, furl the sails, drop anchor.
More than a dozen navies on the warship cooperated with each other, and it took more than ten minutes to dock the ship steadily on the side of the pier. And at the moment the warship stopped, hundreds of people had already gathered on the pier. All of them looked in the direction of the warship, looking forward to it.
"Yuanyi, what happened? Why are there so many people gathered on the pier?"
Kuzan, who was originally in the cab, felt the warship stop and walked out of the cabin. When he came to the deck, he saw Ji Guoyuanyi standing at the bow of the ship looking at the pier silently, and he also came to Jiguoyuanyi's side.
Seeing that there was a turbulent crowd gathered on the pier at this time, he couldn't help asking curiously.
"Sa, who knows, but judging by their appearance, they probably didn't come to drive us away."
Ji Guoyuan looked at the turbulent crowd on the pier, shook his head, and said.
On the pier, the people had already occupied the aisle. As the warship stopped, the crowd automatically vacated a path. An old man, leaning on a cane, slowly walked out of the crowd.
Standing on the side of the warship, looking up at the warship, his gaze happened to meet Ji Guoyuanyi's sight.
"Mayor!"
"Mayor Hisoka!"
The people around saw the old man's arrival and greeted him one after another. There were even crying women who came to Hisoka's side and opened their mouths to say something.
But before the words were spoken, Hisoka slowly raised his hand to stop the other party. Looking at Ji Guoyuanyi and Kuzan who were wearing military uniforms at the bow of the ship, they passed the crutches in their hands to those beside them, and then slowly knelt down on the ground, facing towards Ji Guoyuanyi and Kuzan The two knelt down.
"Mayor?!"
"Mayor Hisoka?! What are you doing?!"
The surrounding townspeople exclaimed when they saw this scene. In their eyes, the old mayor, who was highly respected in their eyes, actually knelt down to outsiders at this moment? !
However, Hisoka, who was kneeling on the ground, ignored the surrounding residents at all, bent down and bowed deeply, and shouted to Ji Guoyuanyi and Kuzan at the bow:
"Navy! You are the navy!"
"Help me, help my townspeople, help those poor mothers, help... those children!!"
Hisoka's shout sounded from the pier, Hisoka's expression was full of determination, but his voice was full of helplessness and despair. Hisoka's kneeling act quickly made the pier quiet. The crying woman looked at Hisoka and then at the navy on the warship, and also knelt down on the ground with a "plop".
As the two men knelt down, the people on the pier immediately fell to their knees. At a glance, they were basically young men and women in their twenties and thirties, only some middle-aged people in their fifties and sixties.
"It's really a big deal!" Ji Guoyuan stood at the bow of the boat, watched the people kneeling down, his expression changed, and he said to himself.
At this time, Kuzan, who was originally standing on the bow, had disappeared.
As soon as Hisoka's call for help fell, Kuzan's figure had already arrived in front of him. Looking at the people in front of him, Kuzan leaned down slightly, and put his hands on Mayor Hisoka's arms, while trying to push each other away. Standing up, he introduced himself:
"I'm the base chief of the Navy's G-ICE branch stationed on Shuixianxing Island, Kuzan!"
"Get up first, and tell me what you need the help of our navy."
"I will do my best to help you!"
Kuzan's tone was heavy and his face was quite ugly.
No hesitating to kneel down, no hesitation to put down their dignity to ask the navy for help, these people must have encountered a terrible thing!
"My child. My child is missing!!!"
"He's only 5 years old!!"
As soon as Kuzan finished speaking, a sharp cry came from the crowd. A woman in her twenties rushed up to Kuzan and knelt on the ground, holding a photo of a girl in both hands, and handed it to the crowd. Kuzan.
And her behavior immediately attracted other people. Many men and women flocked in front of Kuzan, one after another photos were pushed towards Kuzan, and cries filled Kuzan's ears.
"My son is gone too! Navy, help me, help my boy!"
"Please, please, look at my child, he's gone too, I can't live without him!!"
"."
The cries were endless, and at the bow of the warship, Ji Guoyuanyi also gathered a lot of marines, looking at Kuzan surrounded by the crowd, all of them looked dignified.
Ji Guoyuan lowered his eyebrows, looked at the scene on the pier, and couldn't help but said to himself, "Has the crime in the new world reached the point where it can be seen everywhere?"
