My Strength Does Not Allow Me to Low-key

As far as the islands of the Copper Country are concerned, there are many world-famous islands, among which the Tierra del Fuego is the most famous.

This part of the archipelago is located at the southernmost tip of the South American continent, across the sea from Antarctica, and is an important part of the Strait of Magellan.

This archipelago is stuck in traffic, so it is very famous, but it does not completely belong to the Copper Country. It is half of Argentina. Among them, the most famous one belonging to the Copper Country is Chiloe Island.

Another well-known island is Easter Island. This island is far away from the Copper Country and is located in the center of the South Pacific Ocean, right in the middle of the South American continent leading to the mainland of the island state.

Because of the particularity of the geographical location, it was even nicknamed the navel of the earth by many people, and because of the stone statues on the island, it became very famous there.

In addition to these two well-known islands, the Copper Country actually has a very large number of island groups because of its long and narrow coastline.

The reason why these two islands are so famous is not only the important geographical location, but also because of the existence of these two islands, which established the huge sea territory of the Copper Kingdom.

From Easter Island to Chiloe Island, coupled with the radiation of the narrow and long land of the Copper Country, the sea surface of millions of square kilometers in the middle is actually equivalent to the maritime territory of the Copper Country.

The Kalapago Islands mentioned by Chen Yonglu are actually located between Easter Island and Tongguo, facing the land, which is the Ithaca region. The reason why the descendants of the Taiping Army insisted on dividing this island to their territory.

He also wanted to leave a way out, and the general of the Tong Kingdom at that time probably thought so too. If these Chinese were not obedient, then they would be driven to those islands to fend for themselves.

It is precisely because of such ulterior motives that this group of islands belongs to the Ithaca region.

The distance between this group of islands and the Ithaca region is not very close. Xiao Feng estimated that it would be several hundred nautical miles away. If the sea conditions are good and a good boat is used, it may take more than half a day.

If the sea conditions are bad, it may take a day or even two days to reach the land.

The location of the entire island group is relatively south. According to the geographical location, the latitude is similar to that of Huaguo Dongshan Peninsula, but because they are all islands and have a complete oceanic climate, the climate environment is much better.

There is neither severe cold nor intense heat. In terms of geological disasters, there is a one-month typhoon season every year, and there are often heavy rains in normal times. Nothing else is fine.

It belongs to the island group that is very suitable for human survival, but although the environment here is very good, it is not very famous in the territory of the Copper Country.

Even the government of the Bronze Kingdom deliberately ignores the meaning of this place, and usually doesn't promote it much at all.

On the one hand, it is because it is far away from the mainland, and on the other hand, it is also because the main ethnic groups living here are all Chinese, and the purity of Chinese blood here is relatively high.

Because I live here all the year round, I don’t have much communication with the locals of the Copper Country, and I don’t even participate in the elections of the Copper Country. , so the Copper Country government doesn't promote it much.

The most important thing is that there is really nothing worth promoting here. There are no mines, no money, and few people. It is not worth paying attention to at all.

There are countless large island groups like this in the millions of square kilometers of the Tong Kingdom's sea territory, and even many of them are not marked on the map at all.

Because it has no value at all.

After Xiao Feng and his yacht arrived at the Kalapago Islands, Chen Yonglu did not take them to the island in a hurry, but took them around the islands for a few laps first.

"Our archipelago consists of more than one hundred small islands. Among them, there are more than a dozen large islands, four of which belong to several of our families, and the other islands are the public property of the ethnic group. The area of ​​sea fish radiated by the islands , covering more than 30,000 square nautical miles, is located on the cold current belt of Peru, and belongs to the core area of ​​Tongguo Fishing Ground. So our fishery is very rich here..."

Chen Yonglu led Xiao Feng and the others around the archipelago while introducing the situation to Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng is also paying attention to the situation of these islands. The islands in the Kalapago Archipelago are large and small, and they are well arranged. The large ones are tens of square kilometers, or even hundreds of square kilometers, and the small ones are only a few hundred square kilometers. have.

The islands are basically lush tropical islands. Many islands have very beautiful beaches and many seabirds live there.

"Yes, guano is another great resource here, but after so many years of mining, the guano on many islands has dried up, and now there are few people doing this kind of work. Now people mainly live in the core area. Five big islands. Four of them are the private islands of our four families, and the largest Plum Blossom Island in the middle is the core administrative area. There are the most people living here, more than 50,000 people..."

"How many?"

Xiao Feng thought he had heard it wrong, so he couldn't help asking. Chen Yonglu scratched his head in embarrassment: "That's right, there are more than 50,000 people. The other four islands can add up to more than 10,000 people."

Xiao Feng sighed, it's no wonder that the Tong Kingdom doesn't pay much attention to this place, what trouble can such a small number of people cause?

"More than a hundred years ago, our ancestors still attached great importance to this place. After all, we are guests in the Copper Kingdom. At that time, our ancestors also considered that we might not be able to get along on the main road in the future, so we insisted on taking the islands here. But After more than 100 years of integration and development, everyone has adapted to the life on the mainland, and more and more people here are going to the mainland. After all, it is too small, and apart from fishing, there is no Other livelihoods. There is not even an internet connection, and electricity was only available in the 1960s..."

Chen Yonglu introduced the situation here with a little embarrassment, Xiao Feng's heart was half cold when he heard it.

No wonder this guy was so generous before, he said that he could sell his island to him as soon as he opened his mouth!

Feelings are like desert islands! The cost of developing this deserted island is too high, especially for such an island that is hundreds of nautical miles away from the mainland.

Without the support of national power, such islands would be difficult to develop.

For example, the islands and reefs of Huaguo in the South China Sea have been abandoned there for decades. It was only in recent years that the country became stronger and gradually developed.

But now, if they develop these islands by themselves, the amount of funds invested must be huge.

In fact, it’s nothing to develop these islands. The key is how to control these islands. In case I really develop these islands, someone jumps out to pick peaches. . .

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng glanced at Chen Yonglu again. At this time, this guy was scratching his head. He obviously knew that his previous deception would be exposed, so he was so embarrassed. From the perspective of the altar, he was still a real person.

More than one hundred islands cannot be visited in one day, so Chen Yonglu probably took Xiao Feng to visit dozens of islands in the core area, and then drove to the core Plum Blossom Island.

To be honest, during the journey to Plum Blossom Island, Xiao Feng found this island group very interesting.

This group of islands is centered on Plum Blossom Island in the middle, with scattered branches in a circular shape. In the sea to the west of Plum Blossom Island, there are several large islands with an area of ​​hundreds of square kilometers, but on those islands All are deserted.

The private islands of the Chen, Li, Weng, and Mai families are located in the four directions of Meihua Island in the southeast, northwest, respectively. The island of the Chen family is located in the north of Meihua Island. It is a medium-sized island with an area of ​​more than 50 square kilometers.

According to Chen Yonglu, there are about 2,000 Chen family members living on the island, but most of them are left-behind elderly people, and most of the young people have gone to the mainland to find living quarters.

After all, compared to the colorful world in Ithaca, life on the island here is really boring.

Plum Blossom Island is a large island with an area of ​​just over 100 square kilometers. The island is an unconventional circular shape. There is an extinct volcano in the center of the island. There are several lakes at the foot of the volcano, just enough to provide fresh water for the people living on the island.

The rest of the island is basically a plain with very dense vegetation, but only a small part has been developed to grow some food vegetables.

According to Chen Yonglu, the products here are too rich. If you find a good place, you can catch several big fish a day with a single fishing rod. There are fish meat to eat every day. Who still regards rice noodles as the staple food?

Therefore, there are not many people farming. The local people are not lacking in living materials, but their spiritual culture is relatively empty.

On the west and north sides of the island, there are two piers, both of which are small, and some fishing boats are parked inside. It is not far to walk along the road from the pier, which is the administrative center of Plum Blossom Island.

The post office, pharmacy, hospital, school, government management unit, and even a small police station are all crowded here, and several streets extend beside it, and the residential areas of the island are on both sides.

As soon as he landed on the island and saw the faces of the residents here, Xiao Feng did not feel friendly. Although they all looked like mixed races, it could be seen that the degree of mixed race was not too deep, and the characteristics of Chinese people were still obvious.

Moreover, there are Chinese-language signs and various Chinese-language billboards everywhere on the street. Children laughing on the street, as well as leisurely old people, all speak Chinese.

The old people all spoke Cantonese, or Mandarin with a heavy accent, while the young people and children all spoke standard Mandarin, which made Xiao Feng feel a lot more at ease.

After Chen Yonglu landed on the island, he also looked very happy. According to him, this is his hometown, and he grew up here when he was a child.

Because it was already afternoon, they hadn't eaten much since they set off in the morning, so Chen Yonglu directly took Xiao Feng and Jesse to the only shopping mall on the island for dinner.

It is said to be a shopping mall, but it is actually similar to the wholesale markets in domestic fourth-tier small cities, except that it is much cleaner and tidy.

There is a food street tens of meters long, with several restaurants sparsely opened, and Chen Yonglu invited them into one of them.
