Chapter 940: Building an Ocean-Going Fleet (Part 1)

After Kong Nan was silent for a while, he shook his head:

"No, it doesn't matter whether that person is the Alan we are familiar with."

"We don't need her anymore."

"I also promised her that I would not disturb her future life."

"And if that person is really our familiar Alan, then she seems to be very familiar with Su Cheng now."

"If you act rashly, you might make Su Cheng unhappy."

"I don't want to get into trouble with the leader of the Knights of Michael and the most popular man in the empire because of Alan."

"Just think that Alan is dead and don't worry about her anymore."

After receiving Kong Nan's instructions, Philip hurriedly responded:

"Yes. Father, there is one more thing I want to report to you."

"What else?" Kong Nan couldn't help but frown slightly out of impatience, "What's the matter?"

"This matter is actually not too important, but I heard that the Britannia Empire plans to hold a grand reward ceremony for the heroes in the two major wars of the 'Overlord's Counterattack' and the 'Aurora' Offensive."

"Reward ceremony? Humph, this is normal. Judging from the scale and results of these two wars, it would be strange if there is not a lively reward ceremony to celebrate."

Speaking of this, Kong Nan paused as if he remembered something, and then continued:

"Philip, tell the envoy from the center of the Britannia Empire later: We are willing to donate a batch of various ritual utensils needed for the award ceremony to them."

"Donate ritual instruments? Father, the instruments required for such a large ceremony are also very expensive."

As soon as Phillip finished speaking, Kong Nan waved his hand disapprovingly:

"Although those ritual utensils are expensive, they are just a small amount of money to our Rennes family."

"We have had frequent transactions with the Britannia Empire over the years."

"The Britannia Empire borrowed a large loan from us six months ago.

Now they have brought a large amount of gold to trade with us. For such a generous trading partner, it is appropriate to be a favor and give them some gadgets to show their friendship. "

"Yes." Phillip nodded after receiving Kong Nan's guidance, "I'll do it now."

"Well, go ahead and make it as beautiful as possible."

In Pendragon, there is such a legend.

Legend - Under Pendragon, there are many underground warehouses built.

The people who built these underground warehouses were naturally the Britannia Imperial Government.

Apart from the government, there are only a few people or organizations capable of building underground warehouses.

According to rumors, these underground warehouses store nothing but very important strategic materials.

For example - gold.

Because this legend is widely circulated in Pendragon, many people believe it to be true.

Some people who believed in this legend and were very bold even formed an "exploration team" to find these warehouses buried underground, intending to steal some gold from these warehouses.

Of course, these "expedition teams" searching for underground warehouses naturally found nothing.

Either the specific locations of these underground warehouses have not been found.

Or he was arrested by the government while searching for the underground warehouse.

Whether this legend is true or not remains a mystery to this day.

Actually - this legend is true.

There are indeed many underground warehouses built underground in Pendragon.

And these underground warehouses are indeed used to store important strategic materials.

Precisely because the things stored in these underground warehouses are very important, very few people know the specific locations of these underground warehouses.

Some important ministers who are not responsible for finance-related work may not know the specific locations of these underground warehouses in the imperial capital.

As the 13th Emperor of the Britannia Empire, Ilsa and Jacob, the current Prime Minister of the Empire, naturally know the specific location of every underground warehouse in Pendragon.

At this time, Ilsa and Jacob were located in one of the underground warehouses, looking at the items stored in the warehouse.

This underground warehouse is filled with gold ore.

These gold ores are all gold transported back from the New World by Mu De and others.

Looking at the gold ore covering most of her field of vision, Ilsa couldn't help but sigh:

"No matter how many times I watch it, I still find it amazing..."

"Yes." Jacob, who was standing next to Ilsa, also echoed, "It's really amazing... I didn't expect that there is a continent on the other side of the ocean, and there are so many people on that continent. gold."

"What a pity..." Ilsa said with a bitter smile, "It would be great if the news that there is a new continent on the other side of the ocean could also be blocked."

"Your Majesty..." Jacob on the side smiled helplessly, "As long as we can block the news that there is gold in the New World, it is enough."

"As long as this news can be blocked, no one will be interested in the New World."

Naturally, Mu De and others did not have a nautical chart from the New World to the Britannia Empire, so when they set out to return home, they could only go eastward and try their luck to see if they could hit Britannia. The shores of the empire.

Mu De and others were really lucky. Their ship actually hit the coast of the Britannia Empire and arrived at a port on the central coastline of the Britannia Empire.

After Mud and others returned from the New World, Mud and Blaise contacted the central government immediately to inform the central government that they had arrived at the New World in the west and had discovered a large amount of gold on the New World.

After learning that there was a New World on the other side of the ocean and that there was gold on this New World, the central high-level officials headed by Ilsa and Jacob naturally sent a convoy to the port to welcome Mud and others.

In order to be able to transport the gold from the New World back to Pendragon in secret, most of the vehicles in this convoy were transport vehicles specially used to transport supplies.

After loading the gold into the carriage and covering it with black curtains, outsiders could not see what was in the carriage at all.

After all the gold arrived at Pendragon, it was quickly sent to an underground warehouse in the imperial capital - that is, the underground warehouse where Ilsa and Jacob are now.

Afterwards, Ilsa summoned a few important officials such as Jacob and Bankro to discuss how to deal with this batch of gold and how to deal with the new continent across the ocean.

After everyone's discussion, they decided to completely block the fact that there was a large amount of gold in the new continent.

The reason why the news of the new continent across the ocean was not completely blocked was because the difficulty of blocking the news between the two was different.

There were thousands of people who arrived at the new continent across the ocean.

If the news of the new continent across the ocean was to be blocked, it would be difficult to block the mouths of thousands of people.

Moreover, if the world was not informed of the existence of the new continent, it would be difficult to explain to the world how Mud and others disappeared in the sea for more than half a year and then returned safely.

However, blocking the information about gold on the new continent was different, and the difficulty would be much, much smaller.
