Struggle in the Steam Age - Chapter 709
One month after the submission of the report on the racial status of the jackals located on the west coast of Yanzhou, Lawrence finally received a response to his report.
In this report, the other party divided a large area of territory to Nora’s church according to the distribution of the jackal tribes Lawrence obtained from Nora, and announced that this territory was recognized by the civilized race and belonged to the church’s development. territory.
This kind of territory belonging to the church was more common in that dark age, but with the decommissioning of time and the outbreak of the Industrial Revolution, the number of territories like the main plane naturally decreased greatly.
With the idea of minimizing infighting, the various churches have also shrunk their power on the main plane. Except for some civilized expeditions or some hard stubbles, they will basically not develop new power on the main plane, but use the star realm. The plane is the main attack direction.
This is why Lawrence was shocked the first time he saw this document, because the area designated for Nora’s church on the document is even much larger than that of New Sauer Island.
“Is this a mistake?” Holding this document, Lawrence asked the envoy with a dazed expression. “This territory is obviously much larger than the normal church territory.”
“I can confirm that we are not mistaken in this regard, Lord Lord.” The messenger who came to send the letter said with a certain face. “Because the territory you choose for the existence you serve is deep into the wilderness, so it is given according to the pioneering territory.”
“I understand.” Lawrence nodded and said. After being reminded by the messenger, Lawrence suddenly recalled some of the materials he had seen in the church that year.
In fact, the main force that mankind opened up back then was not the country, but the churches. Because in the early years, the power held by the various human forces was very small, and only the church could organize the power to open up.
And now facing a barren land that the wise race has never set foot in, turning the new territory into this kind of church territory naturally also meets the requirements of all parties.
“240,000 square kilometers, are they crazy?” After seeing the documents Lawrence brought, Nora showed the same expression as Lawrence before.
“You know, I haven’t officially become a god. This area of direct jurisdiction has surpassed that of many weak divine spirits. I think it may not be a good thing to possess something that doesn’t match my own power.”
“You don’t need to worry about this.” Lawrence pointed to a paragraph in the document and said, “They have made it clear on this document that this area is only allocated to your largest territory, and how much you can get. It’s up to you.”
“According to the document, they will explore this territory in 70 years, and then use 150% of our actual controlled territory as the final size of the territory.”
“Then what if we really take down this territory completely?” Nora waved the document in her hand and said, “You know, we are different from normal gods or lords.”
“Then they will still recognize the territory we acquired.” Lawrence said with a shrug. “After all, this rule is to better open up wild areas. If you have the ability, you can take up more and no one will say anything.”
“You’re right, this kind of pioneering work is not that small.” Nora nodded after thinking for a while. “From the comparison of the number of people and the area, it will be a long process to develop this territory.”
Because according to the information that Lawrence and the others had obtained before, the jackals in this territory barely reached 300,000. Counting the willingness to be with the jackals, the total number of allies who relayed to Nora would not exceed 500,000.
Obviously, it is obviously not enough to rely on such a little bit of people to develop this territory. It is necessary to bring in foreign population. This is why Lawrence collected all kinds of materials during this time.
According to Lawrence and their plan, during this time, Nora would mobilize the jackals to investigate the surrounding situation and choose some suitable places for human immigrants to camp.
Lawrence collected all kinds of materials and shipped them and tried to contact people to make various preparations for the first settlement on that piece of land.
Finally a month and a half after receiving the information, Lawrence and their fleet to the west coast of Yanzhou finally set off. This fleet consists of 15 ships, carrying 350 ordinary volunteers and people from various churches.
Because of the polytheistic belief tradition, even the direct territories of certain churches can actually allow foreign religions to preach, but other churches in such areas must be mainly local landlords.
Of course, this kind of district-dominant church can naturally refuse the entry of other churches. For example, the Church of the Lord of Dawn or the Church of God of War does this, but for most churches, they often adopt an access system.
In other words, the churches that own the area will make a list, and then select which churches are allowed to enter here, and prohibit the entry of other churches. Under normal circumstances, those churches will allow access to church institutions that they have friendship with.
And Nora is naturally following the crowd in this respect, and for other old churches, the handling of this kind of problem is also very familiar.
. So just to mention briefly, the churches on those islands sent professional staff with various supplies to follow Lawrence on the sea-going ship to the east, ready to go with them to open up a new territory.
The whole journey can be said to be calm, but there were some problems when everyone arrived at the destination. Because the coastline of that area is not only straight, but the sea near the coastline is also very shallow, so it is difficult for these large ocean-going ships to get ashore.
“Sorry, something went wrong in my previous investigation.” Seeing this scene, Nora also looked helpless. “At the time I asked them if there was a place where the big ship could dock, but I didn’t tell them how big the big ship was.”
“Actually, you can’t even tell them how big the ship is.” Lawrence consoled the dolls after watching the sailors put down the boat they carried on the ship and started the transfer work.
“After all, everyone was too far apart before, so a lot of things couldn’t be communicated at all. But I think with our further actions here, the overall situation here should be able to change.”
As Lawrence had expected before, there were a lot of problems during the first run-in.
Fortunately, the selected personnel this time can be said to be the best among the best. They also conducted a pre-rehearsal and formulated sufficient plans for the current situation. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com so when faced with these problems, they have overcome and solved them one by one.
And here I have to talk about the importance of gods. Thanks to the existence of Nora, the jackal tribes that have gradually broken off over thousands of years can be organized like their ancestors.
With the participation of these indigenous people who have mastered the local situation, Lawrence and the others can choose the place they want in a short time, and then successfully complete their main goal of coming here this time: building a settlement.
During this period of construction, Lawrence and Seifer, together with several scholars, under the leadership of local guides, conducted a comprehensive investigation around the selected first batch of immigration points, and the results of the investigation were determined to be here. Continue to develop beliefs.
“This place is obviously richer than our New Sauer side.” After the first round of simple inspections, Safir took a notebook and said to Lawrence, “This area has a large number of plants suitable for various economic Crop land.”
“You are right, but it is not a simple matter to open up plantations from these completely wild areas.” Lawrence said as he looked at the dense tropical rain forest in front of him. “There are too many pests here.”
