Alabasta, the blood of industry

A month after the Cliff Island incident.

The world pattern is changing quietly, and Mary Joa wants to stop it, but the conventional way is not enough, and the unconventional way does not have the nod of Im, and they cannot directly make a decision by themselves.

then...

Although the situation was a bit chaotic, the sea was peaceful in the past month, and no major incidents continued.

------

Great Route, Alabasta.

During the Crocodile incident, the two former oases of Eruma and Yuba both became the biggest victims of the drought for various reasons.

The aboriginal people do not die or die, but flee, and the population does not survive.

At this moment, these two cities are also the fastest recovering cities in Alabasta.

In just half a year, the population has basically recovered to the state before the drought.

And the reason is...

Between Eluma and Juba, one of the largest deserts in Alabasta.

The desert, which was originally useless and almost uninhabited, is now full of people, and even 1,000 elite marines are stationed to provide protection.

"Colonel Weiwei, there is news from the port of Aruma that there are a lot of pirates making trouble. Su Rian has been arrested, but the prison ship has only left for two days, and the next visit will take at least a month. deal with?"

"Temporarily hand it over to the Royal Army for custody, and I will greet the commander of the Eruma Royal Army."

"Yes, Colonel Wei Wei!"

After completing the branch's three-month training and passing the assessment, Wei Wei was transferred here by Li Yan to serve as the base director of the East China Sea Navy's Alabasta base.

Similarly, Li Yan spent 10 million points here, and like Appayado Air Force Base, it was divided into eighteen branches.

The biggest reason why Wei Wei is the head of the base here is that Wei Wei is a member of the Alabasta royal family, and he is also the heir to the throne.

Whether it is the cooperation between Li Yan and Cobra, or the coexistence between the navy and the King Army of Alabasta, everything will become easier if Wei Wei stays here.

Of course, Cobra also valued this cooperation. After all, it would bring huge benefits to Alabasta, so that the country that was hit hard could recover in a shorter time.

even to the point of prosperity.

oil!

This word was originally very unfamiliar to people of the tenth order of pirates, and even occasionally someone discovered an oil field, and regarded it as useless, even a curse, and kept it away.

In Alabasta, there are several huge oil fields. Even this one has been developed and is the smallest oil field. After exploration, it was found that its reserves have reached at least 1 billion tons.

According to the agreement between Li Yan and Cobra, all seven oil fields that have been found have been developed by Li Yan.

Of course, Li Yan paid a lot for this.

Just for the smallest one in front of him, Li Yan also offered a sky-high price of 5 billion Bailey in order to obtain the development rights for 30 years.

That's 5 billion baileys!

You know, Alabasta's annual fiscal revenue, even in good times, can't reach this figure.

Don't talk about that number, it's hard to reach half of that number.

And that's just the smallest of the seven fields.

More importantly, the cooperation between Li Yan and Cobra brought benefits to Alabasta, not just the one-off income from the development rights, but a large number of jobs.

After all, oil field development and subsequent refining are a complete set of production lines, and the number of workers required is absolutely beyond imagination.

For Li Yan, it was impossible for the East China Sea navy to carry out, and there were not so many navy soldiers in the East China Sea.

Therefore, workers can only be recruited in Alabasta, which provides a large number of jobs for the troubled Alabasta.

And when a large number of workers came here with their families and settled in Eluma and Yuba, a series of chain reactions occurred.

Gu Lian

Whether it was Cobra who formulated the recovery plan or the merchants in Alabasta, they all set their sights on these two cities, and it is not difficult to understand what happened after that.

With the protection of the naval bases, the influx of workers, the busy shipping lines, the king's focus on the recovery plan, the frenzied influx of businessmen from the country to invest...

If these two cities can't develop, it's really nonsense.

Of course, today's world's demand for oil is basically zero except for the East China Sea.

And Li Yan's demand for oil is mostly secrets that cannot be exposed.

It is precisely because of this that only the smallest of the seven oil fields has been developed.

However, with the gradual opening of the industrial era in the East China Sea, the demand for oil will also increase.

In the same way, Alabasta will also become richer and richer in the process, and even become the richest country in the pirate world in one fell swoop.

At that time, Li Yan estimated that Goya Kingdom would have to stand aside if he had more money.

At the same time, the Holy Land Mary Joa.

between powers.

"You all know what's going on in Alabasta recently, right?"

"I know, but I don't understand it at all. Li Yan and Cobra jointly developed it. What's the use of the so-called oil?"

"The current news is that Li Yan is working on a new generation of ships that will use oil as power."

Hearing this, the five old stars with blond hair also said.

As the chief of the CP intelligence department, he naturally paid attention to the affairs of Alabasta a long time ago, and also went to understand it.

Of course, what he knew was only the information released by Li Yan.

Although this information was not just random nonsense by Li Yan, it was not all.

Li Yan now has two research teams in his hands, the Levine team that the system first gave to him, and the chemistry team that he gave later.

In addition to ships, airplanes, etc., chemical research has also begun to industrialize products, such as solutions, fertilizers, pesticides or plastics, etc. These are all projects currently under development.

And as for the car thing...

Li Yan did give Levin a concept, but he didn't put too much emphasis on it.

After all, this is the world of pirates, and the role of cars has been minimized, and except for some large islands, there is almost no role elsewhere.

Of course, this refers to personal cars, and some freight cars are still promising.

"Forget it, that little guy Li Yan will let him do whatever he wants. Anyway, it will be good for us if Alabasta recovers sooner."

"Yes, the prestige of the navy has been reduced to the lowest level now~www.mtlnovel.com~ At this time, if the news that Alabasta is prospering with the help of the navy breaks out, it will indeed be quite beneficial to us. ."

"Agreed, our main goal now is to put Dorag on the side!"

"Speaking of Dorag, is there any news from No. 1?"

"The information has been passed to him. Although I didn't say what to do, he should understand."

After saying No. 1 again, the blond five old star also spoke again.

No. 1 of CP0...

This is the most mysterious one in the entire CP0, and even Gonzalo, the highest commander of CP0, has no command over it.

Moreover, let alone Gonzalo, even the Five Old Stars do not have this authority.

In the entire Holy Land, there is only one person who can give orders to him.

that...

Existence on the Void Throne!
