Chapter 1120 – We Are the Same Type of People

City in the skies.

The five fingers of Silver Hand gathered up together once again.

“Ouyang Shuo, this young lad, is not simple. He’s so young, yet he already has a global foresight and knows how to advance sharply whilst backing off when needed. He’s stronger than all our kids.” The one who spoke was number 1.

Maybe because he was thinking about his grandson Jack, but his emotions were not that high.

Number 2 was even more down. During this round of global changes, his grandson did not even have a chance to exit the border, being a total side character.

“We have indeed underestimated this young man.” The one who spoke was number 3, William’s grandfather. Maybe because of his grandson, but number 3 had a good impression of Ouyang Shuo.

“Toward Great Xia, what strategy should we take? Continue to force it or use the chance to have peace and turn our focus to the academic faction?” Number 1 asked.

“No matter what strategy we take, we cannot lower our guard against the academic faction.” Number 3 said that and paused. Following which, he said, “Can we get Ouyang Shuo into the organization?”

“Oh?”

Number 3’s suggestion made the others really surprised.

“Absolutely not!” Number 2 was the first to oppose.

“Why not? Although he is a commoner, he will not always be. The intel said that he has been trying to develop the Ouyang family. That means we are the same type of people.”

Number 2 said, “The president has been trying to recruit Ouyang Shuo. How would he be used by us?”

“It’s a matter of people!” Number 3 was confident, “From the attitude of the academic faction toward Great Xia, the president definitely has not succeeded. Since that’s the case, we still have a chance.”

“No!” Number 2 was really insistent.

Seeing that, Number 3’s expression changed, and he mocked, “Number 2, you’re baselessly opposing because you’re worried that the moment he joins, Great Zhou would not exist in China, right?”

“What a joke, when has Great Zhou ever been afraid!” Number 2 said loudly, but deep down inside, he had no confidence.

Seeing that, Number 3 did not continue to argue and let the others give their ideas.

Number 1 looked at the two of them and smiled, “Number 3’s suggestion can be slowly discussed by all of you. We do not need to rush it.”

In Silver Hand, Number 3 always followed behind number 1.

His attitude was similar to a certain extent. However, seeing Number 2’s insistent attitude, to prevent unrest, Number 1 could only shelve the matter.

Even so, Number 2 was still really unhappy.

It was obvious that Number 1 not rejecting the proposal made him annoyed.

Number 1 continued, “Number 3’s suggestion reminded us that we do not need to go all out to crush Ouyang Shuo. He is not our enemy and could even become our ally.”

“Agreed!”

“Agreed!”

Number 4 and Number 5 both agreed with this point.

“Since that’s the case, we will accept their kind intentions.” Number 1 decided, “In the next period of time, let’s focus on the academic faction. Our president is not a simple person.”

...

Same time, president courtyard.

Maybe it was a wrong feeling, but compared to before, the frown of the president became deeper. The back view of him watering the plants was even more slouched, showing that he was a little exhausted.

What was on his mind was naturally the organization.

During this period of time, this intelligent old man actually found that he could not control the situation. A new power had grown in the organization and was challenging his authority.

Due to these hidden currents, he naturally could not care about Great Xia.

Along with Great Xia’s announcement, the dust had settled, and the old man gave out a bitter laugh, “The bird has grown up. We have missed the best chance. Who knows whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing.”

Within the silent courtyard, a low sigh spread out.

...

Naturally, Ouyang Shuo did not know what kind of big waves his actions had caused.

Along with the few battles coming to an end, Ouyang Shuo was incredibly busy dealing with post war matters. First was Maldives.

The Imperial Court decided to set up Maldives Prefecture, and it would be a Zhili Prefecture directly under the Imperial Court. The war prisoners would form a Garrison Division to defend the islands and the port.

At the same time, Maldives Prefecture would become the resource point of the Indian Ocean. The Imperial Court gave 500 thousand gold to be used on local business construction and port construction.

Next would be moving 100 thousand people over to increase Maldive’s population to develop agriculture and animal husbandry.

The future Maldives would not only be a resource point but also a holiday resort, attracting players over to rest and play.

The Indian Ocean Squadron was also adjusted.

Out of the five divisions, the 1st was in Xingzhou Prefecture, which was the headquarters, the 2nd in Maldives Prefecture, the 3rd in Somalia, and the 4th in Auckland.

The remaining 5th division was a mobile training squadron and patrolled the four places.

Due to the area the Indian Ocean Squadron monitoring being too huge and the enemy being complicated, Ouyang Shuo ordered the south ocean region to be handed over to the Yashan Squadron.

Next would be Hawaii.

The Imperial Court officially established the Hawaii Prefecture, which was also a Zhili Prefecture. Due to its strategic position and a lack of teleportation formations, the construction would only be more than Maldives.

Ouyang Shuo gritted his teeth and sent 1.5 million gold and 300 thousand people over.

Different from Maldives, which was a game region, Hawaii was a wilderness region. Before Great Xia and Dawson Dynasty visited it, it was a desolate island.

It did not have large amounts of locals and did not have a strong city.

Furthermore, it was in the middle of the ocean, and the construction difficulty was many times that of Maldives. However, it was still something Ouyang Shuo could use, which was why Ouyang Shuo could only grit his teeth and support it.

1.5 million and 300 thousand people was only the first wave.

To perfect Hawaii Prefecture, they needed several folds of that at the very least. Ouyang Shuo was only hoping for a teleportation talisman to build a formation.

If not, it would be too inconvenient and too risky.

Luckily, Hawaii was not totally useless. Once the South American trade route was opened up, it would not only be a holiday destination but also a place where merchant ships that cross the Pacific had to go through.

As for the construction expenses, nothing comes for free.
