Chapter 4025: The development of the navigation industry

The Chu State not only lacked oil resources, but they also lacked a market. The only thing that attracted Song Yi was the market, because Chu was too lack of the freshness that the market brought to them. They need so many markets to ensure the development of their products and industrial products. Due to the demand for the market, Song Yi decided to focus on this. In this way, they could better solve some problems. Although there are certain risks, for them, these risks are relatively controllable.

On the Mediterranean sea, the destroyer Yang continued to search for the main fleet of Carthage, but unfortunately, they have not found each other until now. This is not good news for them.

"Where will they be?" Yang Jia said while looking at the navigation map.

"We don't know this, unless they hide in a place we have never reached before. In that case, we will be in trouble." Zhao Hai said worriedly, because in many places, the Zhao State Navy, even the Korean Navy, which has always been bold They have never been there before, and the opponent can easily hide in a corner. However, Zhao’s naval forces are too scattered, and because of their small number of warships, it is difficult for them to play a greater role. For them, this is the worst situation. Faced with such a situation, What they can do is too limited.

"We must find some solutions to solve such things. Otherwise, our situation will be very passive." Yang Jia said.

"Well, I am like this too. The only way is to concentrate on the coastal areas of Carthage and conduct an unlimited blockade so that their goods cannot be exported. At the same time, the goods they need cannot be imported. We can only pass this way. Ways to achieve our strategic goals.” Zhao Hai looked at the map and said, this is the only thing they can do.

"Then blockade the coast of Carthage without restrictions, I don't believe they won't show up. Humph." Yang Jia ordered the blockade. This order is the best order for armed merchant ships. Because they can intercept the past merchant ships and openly rob the Carthage merchant ships, anyway, there are warships to help them intercept, such a thing, they really will never find such a good thing in their lifetime.

South Korea, Qingcheng, the shipyard is busy, even in the dark, you can still hear the shipyard making a lot of noise, and more and more merchant ships are being built. In order to encourage merchants to build ships, the bank also provides fast-track loans to build ships. As long as you have enough documents, you can get a loan and buy a ship. The shipyard will arrange the launch of the ship as soon as possible. You can run the boat.

There are two routes. One is the Nanyang route. This route transports a lot of things. Ships from Qingcheng, a large amount of daily necessities, steel, cement, and various equipment will be transported to the ship. Then they Going all the way to the south, Queen’s Island is also being built. Although a small steel plant is being built there, it still cannot meet their needs. A lot of steel still needs to be transported locally. Some merchant ships choose to dock there to supplement some food, mainly fruits. The local fruit varieties are particularly abundant and the food is also very abundant, mainly aquatic products. After supplementing, they then all the way south. You can choose to stay in the Nanyang Islands. This is a Korean site. Unloading ships here will quickly sell out a lot of steel. Equipment, various industrial products, and products will be quickly sold out. Then you can load some tropical woods and canned fruits. There are canned food processing plants and seafood processing plants in the local area. After the loading is complete, they can still transport a part of the oil, because the local needs these things, they can return immediately. In this way, they continue to transport back and forth, and they can complete a large amount of capital accumulation. Of course, this is just a risk on the South Ocean route. If you are brave enough, you can cross the equator and enter the more southern ocean. The place you are going to is Australia, where a large amount of iron ore is found, mainly It is the place of Zhao Guoren, where the things on your ship will sell faster, and then load a large amount of iron ore and transport it back, and you will make a lot of money. But the time period is longer, usually you can run three times in two years. Each trip can make you several times the profit. Some crazy businessmen will add a merchant ship without a trip. This is the craziest way.

Of course, there is another one, that is, the Western route. This route may call at more ports and may only run once a year, but the profit is quite high. The first is to transport some special commodities, machinery and equipment, and munitions from the local area. They will be transported to Burma, where there is fighting, the arms business is surprisingly good, and finally docked in Bangla, where there are a large number of laborers waiting for the merchant ships, the arms will be unloaded there, and the arms will continue to be loaded on the ship. Where do they return to? , Only part of them knew that they went back to Persia, Seth, Central and Western, and the Far West, and followed the ancient trade roads all the way to places they had never reached before. Not only arms, but when they were in Myanmar, they would also transport Yapian, the transportation of these commodities, once down, can make them earn three times as much as those merchant ships that run the Nanyang route. But their route is not over yet. After they load a large amount of labor in Bangla, they will quickly move towards Australia, bumpy and lonely along the way, but all crew members will be hopeful. They know that after this trip, It is enough for them to earn a lot of benefits. Australia lacks a large amount of labor, and the labor generally comes from one place, Bangla. There are Indians, locals in Bangla, most of them are children, and there are also people from other tribes. In short, they are abducted, captured by war prisoners, escorted here, captured by various means, etc. Waiting for them are long digging years, maybe many people's years are over all at once. Because the disease will make some people disappear suddenly. No one will feel sorry for their situation.

When these people were transported off the ship, they again carried iron ore back to the mainland, which was already a year later. Then they opened the mode of transportation again, and in Menggla, Sri Lanka. There is the second wave of trade, as well as the transfer point for transportation and trade. A large number of merchant ships will be parked there. Arms, equipment, elegant pieces, cotton cloth, daily necessities, industrial supplies, such as dyes, etc., will gather on a large scale. There, they were transported on board again, and their destination was the Persian Gulf. There are Persians and Seth people. These industrial products are what they need most. Although they can produce some weapons by themselves, some good weapons and equipment still need to be imported, for example, machine gun bullets, which they must import. The product. There are also some special chemical products, which are mainly used for the production of primers, mechanical equipment, maintenance, and the production of guns. Of course there are some artillery, these things are hard to get. The arms restriction order allowed them to only sneak in such weapons. Then they export women and petroleum products. They will follow the oil carrier to the next transportation transfer point, and then hand it over to the next transportation route to move on. The Persian Gulf is just one of the nodes, and Shazhou, where mercenaries are produced, they are all good cavalry killers. They yearn for war and worship killing. This is an important means for them to maintain their tribe’s survival, but they are also men. An important country that exports a lot. After Shazhou, they arrived at the Suez Canal and entered the Mediterranean area through the Suez Canal. This is a brand new area. Here, all kinds of goods can be sold. This is where they need it most.

In this way, through merchant ships, a preliminary world market is gradually being connected. More and more merchant ships are joining the torrent of transportation. Because transportation brings huge profits, these profits will bring new markets to their markets. New market capabilities are constantly being brought into play. Under such conditions, only more markets are being developed.

Not only South Korea, but also the shipyards of Zhao and Qi, Chu, and the shipyards of Goguryeo are constantly joining the ranks of production. The same is true for the people of Jeju. They are an island country. They have made their fortunes by sea transportation. It is said that there are more than 2,000 merchant ships in Jeju Island, and the total tonnage of the merchant ships exceeds 30 million tons. This is This is an amazing development. Countries are able to connect the markets around the world. Without a developed shipbuilding and ship transportation industry, it is simply impossible to do this. This situation will bring them huge development opportunities in the world, which they have never encountered before.

"The number of merchant ships is not enough. We also need more merchant ships. These merchant ships are an important means for us to connect with the entire world. Without such a large number of merchant ships in this world, you simply can't imagine what kind of situation will happen after such a thing happens. , This will have a huge impact on us.” South Korean Navy Minister said. The reporters also have such a deep understanding that once the Korean maritime transport industry is stopped, it will cause a complete shutdown of the Korean economy, and the Korean economy will fall into a huge disaster. The bankruptcy of the Korean government is considered the lightest punishment. This is the development of the navigation industry. They have become a pillar industry in some countries. At the same time, the world market is also inseparable from the development of navigation.
