Few people know that there is gold in the new world.

Most of the sailors who went to the new world with Mulder and blitz were illiterate.

Most people have never seen what gold looks like. Maybe some people don't even know what color gold is. They only know that gold is a very valuable thing.

Most of the sailors didn't know that these things that Mulder and blitz asked them to dig were precious gold.

Some people think they are digging for copper.

Some people think they are digging iron.

Others simply don't know what they're digging. They just follow the orders of their superiors and don't care what they're digging now.

Therefore, not many people know that there is gold in the new world.

Because few people know that there is gold in the new world, it is much easier to block the news.

Jacob and others know very well - in fact, as long as they block the information about gold in the new world.

As long as the news can be blocked, it doesn't matter whether the world knows whether there is a new continent on the other side of the ocean.

After all, if it is unprofitable, even if other countries on the continent know the existence of the new continent, they will not be interested in this distant new continent.

As long as other countries and organizations are not interested in the new world, the British Empire can swallow the new world and all the gold of the new world.

Judging from the current situation, the information blockade of the British Empire was quite successful.

People only know that there is a new world, but they don't know that there is gold in the new world.

Few people know that there is gold in the new world so far.

After transporting the gold dug by Mulder and others from the new world to the underground warehouse of pandragon, Ilsa immediately sent someone to refine the gold.

The first batch of refined gold was transported to the West for trading with the best gold trading partner, the Ryan family.

Britannia Empire is now at war with the Holy Hiran Empire, so it is naturally impossible to trade with the Holy Hiran empire.

Not to mention the Frankish empire.

Those small countries also do not have the ability to trade such a large amount of gold.

The only countries or organizations that can trade such a large amount of gold are the Lorraine empire in the South and the Ryan family.

Because pandragon is closer to dorlund, the base of the Ryan family, the Ryan family is the best gold trading partner at present.

Ilsa plans to use the first batch of refined gold to exchange some iron and horses with the Ryan family.

The Empire and the holy Hiram empire in the North fought two large-scale battles. They urgently needed some iron and horses to restore their military strength.

Konnan, the current owner of the Wren family, always thought that the gold was the inventory of the central part of the British Empire for many years. As everyone knows, the gold used to trade with their Ryan family is "fresh" gold dug from the new world.

Ilsa will come to this underground warehouse from time to time these days to have a look at the mountains of gold ore.

If all the gold in this pile of gold ore is extracted, I don't know how many good things can be exchanged from the Ryan family and the Lorraine empire.

Looking at this pile of gold ore, Ilsa suddenly sighed.

"I really want to use this pile of gold to build an ocean fleet and strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Navy... If only there were more gold..."

Then Ilsa turned her head and asked Jacob:

"Mr. Jacob, are we really unable to build an ocean fleet immediately?"

"No." Jacob said with a bitter smile, "building an ocean fleet that can go back and forth between two continents is very expensive. We still have a lot of money to spend. At present, we don't have excess financial resources to build an ocean fleet."

After hearing Jacob's words, Ilsa sighed again:

"Forget it... Since there is no way to build an ocean fleet immediately, take your time. Anyway, the new world won't run away by itself."

After confirming that there was a large amount of gold on the other side of the ocean, the first reaction of the people led by Ilsa was to form an ocean fleet that could travel stably between the two new continents to transport gold from the new continent.

However, their idea is very beautiful, but the reality is very cruel - they have no extra money to build an ocean fleet.

If you want to make a stable round trip between the two continents, the ships you need naturally have to be those big ships.

The cost of building such a fleet composed entirely of large ships is naturally amazing.

Moreover, ships alone are not enough. There must be enough sailors. The training of sailors also costs a lot of money and time.

Although Ilsa very much wanted to immediately set up an ocean fleet that could travel stably between the two continents, the Treasury that could not squeeze out excess money forced her to put aside her plan to set up an ocean fleet for the time being, and put aside her plan to mine gold in the new world for the time being.

Compared with the formation of the ocean fleet, it is urgent to restore the combat power of the knights who experienced the "overlord counterattack" and the "Aurora" offensive, and to restore and strengthen the navy who experienced the sea storm.

In particular, strengthening the combat effectiveness of the Navy - this is the top priority.

In last year's "overlord counterattack", Su Cheng showed the world the new use of the Navy and the destructive power of coordinated operations between the Navy and the army.

Before last year's "overlord counterattack", no one thought that the Navy could still use it like this.

After seeing this new use of the Navy, other countries will certainly strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Navy and consolidate coastal defense, except that the Rowling Empire, which is now in power, may not pay attention to it.

Naturally, the British Empire will not lag behind others. Since the end of the "overlord counterattack", the central government has held many meetings to discuss the Navy's strengthening plan.

According to the draft Navy strengthening plan currently formulated by the British Empire, they intend to gradually expand the total military strength of the navy to 50000 people and invest a large amount of money in the development of new warships.

Compared with strengthening the Navy's combat effectiveness, the formation of an ocean fleet has become a trivial matter that can be delayed.

After all, the new world can go anytime, but without a strong navy to guard the sea, they may never go to the new world again.

After taking back her eyes from the mountains of gold ore in front of her, Ilsa turned and walked towards the exit of the underground warehouse.

Jacob also hurried behind Ilsa and walked slowly towards the exit of the underground warehouse with Ilsa.

Just as she was about to reach the exit, Ilsa suddenly asked Jacob behind her:

"Mr. Jacob, how are the various matters of the reward ceremony and the preparation of ritual vessels?"

As soon as Ilsa's voice fell, Jacob quickly replied:

"Very smoothly. We can definitely make all kinds of preparations for the reward ceremony before the meritorious heroes come back. "

"Yes." Ilsa nodded gently and said with a smile, "we must ensure that the reward ceremony is safe."
