Chapter 1552

I have to say that the casinos in Panama did provide Zeng Yunfeng with a lot of sources of funds, especially the gold and silver that poured in from all over the Americas. The funny thing is that the Spanish colonists in the Americas were very rich. But Spain is in a money crunch.

Now the gold is flowing rapidly to Central America. If Zeng Yunfeng hadn't controlled the flow of gold and silver, the local prices might have already skyrocketed.

But fortunately, the gold and silver circulated by Zeng Yunfeng was re-spent from his hands and flowed to various places in Asia, which also made it easier for Zeng Yunfeng to enrich Panama's infrastructure and agricultural cultivation.

What he wants to establish is not just a pinnacle, Panama must have agriculture and industry that can support it.

And these gambling funds and finances are far from being brought. Fortunately, Zeng Yunfeng now occupies a relatively large area.He even annexed some regions north and south.

Today, his territory in Central America can go as far north as Guatemala in the future, including Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and other regions in the middle, and these places are now Zeng Yunfeng's sphere of influence.

Going south, part of Colombia, part of Ecuador, plus part of Venezuela, and further southeast, the coastal areas of Caracas and Valencia are basically controlled by the forces of Zeng Yunfeng's White Iron Pirates.

Most of the Caribbean Sea area close to Central America and South America is basically controlled by Zeng Yunfeng, and several islands between the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico are also controlled by Zeng Yunfeng.

For example, in the future, the Cayman Islands, Jamaica, plus a part of Cuba, and small islands like St. John, Roseau, and Fort de France will also be controlled by Zeng Yunfeng as ports.

It can be said that the sphere of influence of the White Iron Pirates radiates the entire Caribbean Sea and a small part of the Gulf of Mexico.

After all, Zeng Yunfeng was planning to use the land here to establish his own pirate kingdom. The entire Central American region controlled by Zeng Yunfeng was connected to Mexico in the north and Ecuador in the south.

In some areas, the land is relatively fertile. These areas are conducive to control and are located in the coastal zone, but they also have corresponding disadvantages, that is, the strategic depth of these areas is far less than imagined.

In addition to being blocked by some mountains, which can make Zeng Yunfeng less troublesome, compared with those in the Great Plains, these places cannot develop large-scale farms and agriculture.

But fortunately, these places are close to the coastal areas, which is convenient for him to control, and the places too close to the inland are very inconvenient for Zeng Yunfeng's current forces to control.

But the premise of all of this is that Zeng Yunfeng has a strong fleet as the foundation.

The areas currently controlled by Zeng Yunfeng are also very rich in natural resources, and the minerals are not bad.

This is convenient for Zeng Yunfeng's power to develop and grow again, and at the same time, it is also guarding the world's waterway.

In the future, it will also be a fertile land. Of course, the premise of all this is that Zeng Yunfeng can develop and grow in a situation where the wolves are surrounded by death.

The current Panama Canal has not been fully opened. Once it is opened, this area will definitely be targeted by countries all over the world, and it will become a piece of fat on their lips that makes them drool. Maybe everyone wants to come up and take a bite.

Zeng Yunfeng also had to make a layout in advance to build an island chain near the Caribbean Sea to form a maritime defense on the island chain.

Of course, relatively speaking, this kind of defense is very weak, and the most important point is to maintain a strong fleet foundation.

All of this relies on the development of Central America under the control of Zeng Yunfeng, the most basic of which is food self-sufficiency.

The colonies that Zeng Yunfeng snatched from various countries can be said to have touched the nerves of all countries, especially Spain.

But the possession of land is all based on strength, and only after fighting will you know who can occupy more.

This inch by inch of land was piled up by Zeng Yunfeng's subordinates with their lives. It was not only a sea battle, but also a land battle. It was a great help to the warriors from Fusang in the land battle. Very excited inside.

This is why Zeng Yunfeng urgently needs a large number of people and miners, and frequent conflicts urgently require a large amount of food and steel production.

With rich iron and coal mines as far north as Guatemala, as far south as Venezuela and Ecuador, his smithy experience finally paid off.

Zeng Yunfeng had different degrees of conflicts with the forces of various countries, and the opening of the Panama Canal will surely connect Zeng Yunfeng's territories on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean to form a whole.

It will also form its strategic advantage in the sea in Central America. This strategic advantage will last for one to two hundred years in the age of sail warships, until later the sea power of various countries gradually rises and enters the peak era, and forms a double-team situation in Central America. .

Of course, no one knew how the territory developed at that time, Zeng Yunfeng might not even be around at that time.

Now Zeng Yunfeng treats the population of all countries, all races, all people, as long as they are people, they will not refuse, regardless of culture, race, or skin color.

As long as it is a labor force, as long as it is a technical type of work, as long as it is willing to come here for development, or even mining, Zeng Yunfeng will not refuse anyone.

Of course, it is also necessary to pay part of the corresponding tax.

It is precisely because of Zeng Yunfeng's open management model that the Central American region and the islands near the Caribbean Sea under Zeng Yunfeng's control have attracted a large number of various populations.

Of course, it also brought mud and sand, everything, and the emergence of the casino city was also an important means for Zeng Yunfeng to delete these people.

At the same time, it also reserved a huge amount of funds for him to help him develop the fleet. Even though he got almost an entire fleet of ships from Edward the Blackbeard, Zeng Yunfeng was still not satisfied.

Now his stall is really big, and the nearly dozens of warships are scattered into the sea now, like a handful of fish food thrown into a pond, basically there is no splash.

It can be said that Zeng Yunfeng has a long way to go if he wants to develop these territories in Central America, and he also faces threats from various countries.

Fortunately, Zeng Yunfeng's forces have a good relationship with the other aborigines in the surrounding area, and they can often get some agricultural products and food from them.

Through trading with each other, Zeng Yunfeng also gained some good knowledge, which came from their past accumulation. Although it seems better than nothing, it is better than nothing.

The power background of the Central American region that Zeng Yunfeng has established is very poor. In terms of accumulation alone, Zeng Yunfeng can be said to have relatively weak power in the entire Caribbean region.

In comparison, the fleet forces of other countries seem to be much stronger, and of course this is just what it looks like.

After all, in terms of naval battles, none of the guys in the White Iron Pirates were vegetarians. After Zeng Yunfeng released a huge bounty and generous treatment, these guys desperately expanded.

At the same time, one by one is like a chicken blood, and some people don't even care about their nationality, race, or even other things.

They wholeheartedly wanted to become noble knights under the white iron banner. In the age when they were born, this kind of temptation made them irresistible.
