Chapter 1591 Developing the Great Plains
Port of Tortuga, the meeting hall of the White Iron Pirates.

Zeng Yunfeng and others have already returned to Tortuga. When he returned to Hong Kong, he faced cheers one after another, but Zeng Yunfeng was not happy about it, but worried.

Maybe others are not very clear about the crisis that the entire White Iron Pirate Group is currently facing in its sphere of influence, but it doesn't mean that Zeng Yunfeng is unaware of the hidden dangers.

After escaping from the war across the European continent, Gris Allen also returned to Tortuga with Zeng Yunfeng.

But today's Tortuga is undoubtedly no longer the ideal location for the White Iron Pirates, and it can only be used as a forward base in the future, not a place for the White Iron Pirates to make a living.

This land can no longer support the ambitions of the White Iron Pirates.

From a geographical analysis alone, arable land and food alone can no longer satisfy the growing population base of the white iron pirate ship.

Zeng Yunfeng also had to consider these issues in advance. Tortuga must only become an island, and it cannot become a real center.

Zeng Yunfeng looked at the crowd of subordinates sitting at the bottom of the conference hall, then looked back at the huge map behind him, and tapped the map with the scabbard of his long sword, making a thumping sound.

The sound of knocking on the wooden board behind the map and the scabbard of the long sword made the crowd who were still chaotic underneath suddenly quiet down.

"Guys, I recruited you back this time because I have an important announcement to make."

Everyone turned their attention to Zeng Yunfeng, Zeng Yunfeng coughed lightly, and then said: "Everyone already knows that the Baitiehai Pirates have grown stronger, and Tortuga can no longer bear our expectations, we need to transfer everything in Tortuga .”

Everyone looked at Zeng Yunfeng, waiting for his next words. On the map behind Zeng Yunfeng, a long and narrow range was drawn. The northernmost part touches the Gulf of Mexico, and the south reaches the Amazon River in Brazil.

Zeng Yunfeng tapped the map again and said: From the map, we can already see many problems. Tortuga is far away from the mainland. Although we are a pirate group, we are already beginning to transform. Our business is not limited to To rob other people's property on the ocean and intercept and kill caravans from various countries, we must have our own background. "

"We want to multiply the population, increase our power, forge weapons, and develop agriculture, but all of this is inseparable from this land." Sun Wukong said, hitting the territory of Central America with his scabbard again.

"In the past few years, many people have paid a lot, and some even gave their lives. For this reason, we have laid down this territory."

"This territory is large enough to accommodate the entire White Iron Pirates." Zeng Yunfeng said, looking at the people below.

"Some of you have already obtained the land I entrusted, but it is far from enough now. These lands are far from satisfying my ambitions."

Zeng Yunfeng pointed the scabbard at the Columbia area, and said, "We have attacked here and gained some territory, but in my opinion, it is not enough."

"In the next few years, I hope that everyone will turn their eyes slightly closer to this land from the sea. We will acquire more land, especially here." Zeng Yunfeng said, pointing the scabbard at a horizontal river.

That river was to become the Rio Negro in the future.

Zeng Yunfeng drew a circle clockwise from south to north above the river.

"This is Lake Maracaibo, where part of our fleet is moored, and here is a plain." The top of Zeng Yunfeng's scabbard pointed to a plain.

"I want to take this plain completely into my pocket, and the north of Negro River must belong to the White Iron Pirates."

Everyone's eyes were shocked. In fact, their sphere of influence has already involved Colombia and Venezuela, but according to the current situation, their boss doesn't just want to only have that area.

There was an uproar at the bottom.

Zeng Yunfeng tapped on the map and said: "Here, I call it the Oliloko Plain, and our future grain base is here, and this place must be ours."

"To the south, we are bounded by the Negro River, which belongs to the border of our territory."

As Zeng Yunfeng spoke, he looked at many of his subordinates, and all of them stared.

Zeng Yunfeng made this decision not only because of his thirst for territory, but to make up for a major defect of the current white iron pirate group.

Gris Allen discussed this issue with him after returning from a tour of the continent.

The problem is none other than plowing the land, which is funny to say, they are a pirate group, why do they plow the land.

However, if you want to build a powerful pirate kingdom, a granary is absolutely indispensable, even crucial.

No one can ignore the value of arable land, if they cannot support the population of the country, cannot feed the army, cannot build weapons, cannot develop technology, all of these will limit the future development of this kingdom.

And there is no doubt that the plain shared by Colombia and Venezuela is indeed a unique place.

In fact, going north, the range of the Mississippi River is actually the best place, but the future battle there is much more brutal.

Whether it's Spain, France, or the UK, they will never give up there.

But this small plain is currently difficult for them to touch, and it is protected by the Caribbean Gulf, so it is undoubtedly Zeng Yunfeng's best choice.

The entire South American region is divided into several large plains, from north to south are the Orinoco Plain, the Amazon Great Plain, and the La Plata Plain.

If there is a chance in the future, Zeng Yunfeng will plot those places, but at present, the place closest to the Caribbean coast and where his sphere of influence can be easily controlled is undoubtedly the current plain.

The Orinoco Plain has mountains in the west, plateaus in the east, rivers in the middle, and the Caribbean Sea just to the north.

The unique conditions and strategic advantages here can undoubtedly support a large number of people for Zeng Yunfeng. Coupled with the rich mineral resources and oil and gas resources in Venezuela, it will allow the pirate kingdom to develop without any worries within one to two centuries. .

And Zeng Yunfeng now wants to make up for the lack of arable land in his pirate kingdom by obtaining part of the Orinoco Plain and the Amazon Plain.

The reason why the southern border was pushed to the Negro River was also to protect the Orinoco Plain.

Let this plain area become a closed area completely, and even become the real granary of the White Iron Pirate Kingdom.
