Pirates of the First Empire

Andre's New Year's Day has passed safely. For the people of Andre, this may be an important reunion festival, but for most other people in the world, it doesn't matter if the New Year is not the New Year.

Pirates, mountain thieves, criminals of all walks of life, etc., still spend their time in fighting or eating, drinking and having fun. Those navies who really have justice in their hearts still spend their time in busy official duties or arresting criminals. They don't even have the concept of Chinese New Year. Whether it is ten years or a hundred years, their power remains the same and will not change with the passage of time. Their daily enjoyment is out of reach for ordinary people. .

Half a month later, after the last reunion dinner, under the arrangement of Doyle, the golden lion, who was temporarily inconvenient to appear in front of people, went to Sky Island with brothers Carlo Charon, on the one hand to continue to develop and consolidate Sky Island On the one hand, the presence of the Golden Lion can also help Carlo Charon continue to practice.

At this time, Carlo and Charon were only 16 and 17 years old, and it was the time when their strength was advancing by leaps and bounds. Originally, Doyle was worried that the two of them would affect their efficiency if they practiced on Sky Island. After all, there was a big gap between having a famous teacher. Simply having a master like the Golden Lion around, Doyle felt relieved.

……

In the small courtyard on the island in the middle of the lake, Doyle is summoning Cage, the helm of the umbrella. Besides, there is another person who appeared here that Cage didn't expect, that is Master Tom's apprentice, Frankie.

After Tom and his apprentice came to Andre, not only did they not feel uncomfortable at all, but they were addicted to Andre's advanced technology every day and couldn't extricate themselves. Compared with Tom, who is willing to learn from the bottom of Andre's technology system Master, Frankie was deeply attracted by Andre's advanced warfare system, so Frankie realized that only here is his paradise for Frankie!

At this time, Tom has been appointed by Karls as the "Chief Engineer of the Sea Train Construction Project" and started to set off for the calm zone. All the islands within the sphere of influence of the Kingdom of Dere...

It is worth mentioning that although Andre has obtained the entire calm zone in name, in fact, Andre's sphere of influence in the calm zone is only the distance between Andre Kingdom and the Crescent Bay Islands. Radius, the sea area within this circular area, other sea areas have not been involved yet.

Moreover, under the reminder of Figo, Doyle knew that the large undersea prison, Pushing City, was also in this windless belt. The Pirate Empress, whose lair, Nine Snake Island, is also in this windless belt under their control.

Therefore, without complete preparations, Andre's sphere of influence in the windless zone can be expanded as necessary. After all, even now, resources are completely inexhaustible.

……

As one year passed, the nine teams of the USS special operations team have all been in place. Of course, only the people are in place. Whether it is equipment or team quality, they have not yet met the requirements, but the "Umbrella Corps" is only equipped with " The mercenaries of the "Second Generation Automatic Weapons" have already started their official business.

"Cage, you should understand why Gu summoned you, right?" Doyle was tinkering with the tea set to make tea, and then asked softly without raising his head, as if making tea was the top priority...

However, Cage understood the importance of it, "Your Majesty, I have already understood the problem. Starting today, I will put this matter first. Don't worry, our forces will enter the great channel starting this year. It’s where the talent is most concentrated.”

Cage respectfully took the tea that Doyle handed over, and then replied that he could clearly feel that Doyle, as Crown Prince Andre, is completely different from Doyle, who is now Grand Duke Azathoth, From the moment he entered the door, Cage did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

"It's good that you understand. The full name of Umbrella is Umbrella Technology Corporation. Technology is the most important thing. In the past year, Nianzai Umbrella was just established. It may not have independent research and development capabilities, but in the future, it must be."

Doyle's meaning is very clear. In fact, this is not the first time he has said this, so Cage himself is also clear. It's just that Cage really couldn't carry out this work in the past year. After all, the science of the South China Sea Almost all talents were collected by the Andre Kingdom Academy of Sciences.

"Your Majesty, I understand what you said, but even if the research and development center of the umbrella is built, we will not be able to surpass the level of the Royal Academy of Sciences in a short period of time. In this way, wouldn't it be..."

Cage carefully stated what he was worried about. There was no other way. The development of science and technology could not be completed overnight. Therefore, even if Umbrella Company really established a scientific research center, it wanted to develop a technology that surpassed their existing ones. , those armaments provided by the Andrei Royal Academy of Sciences are also very difficult.

"You don't have to worry about this, and Andre's Academy of Sciences will also carry out some reforms, and then it will be your chance, listen carefully—" Doyle naturally understands what Cage said, so, He had already thought about it, which is why he summoned Cage.

"I knew it!" Cage said in his heart at this time, he knew very well that Doyle always looked farther than everyone else, and the problems he couldn't solve were often not even problems for Doyle.

"Next, Andre's domestic Academy of Sciences will carry out another reform. At that time, the doctors of the Academy of Sciences will have more choices. They can choose to teach and educate people to spread knowledge. Joining Andre will build the next twelve Secondly, they can also choose to start their own businesses, turn their inventions into real products, and benefit the people while becoming wealthy businessmen; moreover, because of the complete disintegration of the super giant state-owned factory, Andre will also Encourage private businessmen to start businesses, take over these factories, and even build more factories..."

Doyle said a lot in one breath, but he didn't get to the real point. However, Cage, who had been listening, was still keenly aware of something. He is considered to be half a member of the Academy of Sciences, and the news has already spread within the Academy of Sciences.

"Of course, they still have another option, which is to directly join a non-governmental company and become a research and development member. For this point, Andre's businessmen have to invite them themselves. The talents who can enter my Academy of Sciences are not casual. Then they can be recruited by them..." Doyle continued, obviously, this is actually the opportunity Doyle mentioned.

"Of course, the doctors and researchers who have been cleared out are all inferior, and the top talents will still be retained by the Academy of Sciences to do research on cutting-edge scientific projects." No, in order to gather talents, Doyle basically accepted all those with talent and skills into the Academy of Sciences, which actually lowered the Academy's "forced standard" by a lot.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean..." Cage suddenly became impatient. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for their umbrella, and it is also a chance for them to overtake on a curve!
