A red line came out of the Principality of Constantine, crossing the Black Rice Wasteland, entering the Sack Kingdom to the northwest of the Black Rice Wasteland. It followed the endless sea to the north, passing through the Doran Kingdom to the north of the Sack Kingdom and the Kakedon Kingdom to the north. It then turned east and passed through several small countries in the north before finally entering the Malor Empire that took up a large area on the map.
Xu Yi took back his hand from the map and took two steps back. His eyes followed the red line again and finally fell onto the end of the red line, which was the Malor Empire's capital, Angelo City, before giving a satisfied nod.
This red line was the road that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce would use to connect the northern countries of the continent. Once it was finished, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's products could quickly enter the northern countries of the continent through this road, popularizing magic machines in these countries.
At the same time, this trade route was another route for the New Flyer to connect to the Malor Empire. Combined with the land route that passed through the Lampari Kingdom, the Drake Duchy, the Falk Kingdom, and finally the Malor Empire, as well as the sea route that was still being explored, there would be three complete trade routes. It would allow the New Flyer to become closer to the northern countries of the continent and the Malor Empire.
After thinking about it, Xu Yi extended the red line into the Malor Empire to the right on the map. He drew a dotted line that passed through several countries in the northeast of Sines before turning south, finally reaching the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom in the southeast of Sines. Then it connected to the blue sea route that went from the Principality of Constantine to the south of the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom.
This kind of complete trade route was an even more distant plan.
If it could be realized, it would be equal to the New Flyer successfully promoting magic machines in every country in the Sines, which wouldn't be far from his dream.
But if one looked carefully, they would find that there was a large gap in this ideal trade route, which was the Kandla Empire.
Up until now, the Kandla Empire had only built a road that was less than five hundred kilometers in the southwest province. Not to mention comparing it to the Principality of Constantine and the Lampari Kingdom, it was even worse than the small countries like the Drake Duchy and the Mirando Duchy.
Although the Kandla Empire had shown interest in building roads before, after several months, they still hadn't implemented it.
President Cruz was originally looking forward to showing off his skills in the Kandla Empire, but in the past few months, the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce hadn't received any orders from the Kandla Empire to build roads.
On the contrary, the Malor Empire was very active. They had already completed the initial three roads with a total mileage of more than two thousand kilometers, which made the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce focus on the Malor Empire.
As for the Kandla Empire … … they could only leave it be.
But this wasn't the situation that Xu Yi wanted to see.
The Kandla Empire occupied a large area, occupying almost half of the central and southern Sines. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's Principality of Constantine was located in the southwest corner of Sines. If one wanted to go to other countries, they would have to go through the Kandla Empire.
But now, the Kandla Empire's attitude towards cooperation was very unenthusiastic, which made Xu Yi's plan seriously hampered.
This huge blank space was like a fishbone stuck in Xu Yi's throat, and he felt uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it.
'How good would it be if there weren't magisters in this world that could destroy the balance … …' Xu Yi couldn't help but think.
If it wasn't for the existence of the Kandla Empire's nine magisters, Xu Yi felt that the New Flyer Guards' current battle strength could easily crush the Kandla Empire's army.
But it was because of the existence of the magisters that the New Flyer Guards couldn't deal with that Xu Yi could only think of other ways to solve the problem.
'Forget it, I can only hope that the Kandla Empire isn't that stupid.'
Xu Yi shifted his gaze from the Kandla Empire to the Endless Seas, which didn't show much on the map but was countless times larger than the Sines in the real world.
There were currently three blue lines drawn from the Principality of Constantine's New Flight Commerce Main Base. One of them headed north, following the coast and finally circling to the north of the Malor Empire.
One of them headed south, circling around the Principality of Constantine before turning east, finally reaching the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom in the southeast corner of the continent.
The other line headed west, deep into the Endless Seas, and stopped abruptly at the edge of the map.
This line represented that Xu Yi had sent the New Flyer Guards to explore the Endless Seas in the west.
This fleet used the islands as bases to explore. Although they were slow, they were very stable. Up to now, they had already reached six hundred kilometers away from the New Flight Commerce Main Base and controlled a large part of the sea that was larger than the Principality of Constantine.
According to the exploration report sent back by this fleet, there were many islands in this sea area that had various mineral resources. Adding in the various marine resources, it could be considered rich in resources.
If they could control the sea area, the New Flyer would have a very solid backing and wouldn't be restricted by others in terms of resources.
Thinking of the problem of resources, Xu Yi slightly knit his brows.
The Principality of Constantine wasn't big and its resources were very scarce, so the large amount of mineral resources and Magic Crystals that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce needed came from the surrounding countries.
Because of the rapid development of the magic machine industry in the Lampari Kingdom, there was a large increase in the demand for mineral resources and Magic Crystals, so it was very hard for the New Flyer to obtain resources from the Lampari Kingdom.
Other than the Black Rice Wasteland, the main source of resources for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was the Kingdom of Ruhr, as well as the Drake Duchy, the Mirando Duchy, the Norton Duchy, and other small countries.
Recently, the New Flyer had made deals with the Sack Kingdom and had obtained some mineral resources from the Sack Kingdom, which could satisfy the needs of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
But these countries were deeply influenced by the New Flyer and their magic machine industries were developing, so their demand for resources would be as strong as the Lampari Kingdom. So it could be foreseen that it wasn't realistic for the New Flyer to obtain mineral resources from these countries in the future.
The reason why Xu Yi sent out the New Flyer to guard the fleet to explore the endless seas was to prepare for a rainy day.
But because of the limits of technology, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce couldn't easily mine the resources in the sea like they could in the other regions. If they wanted to mine the resources on the islands, the cost was much higher, so it wasn't worth it.
So the most urgent problem for the New Flyer was to find a new source of resources.
It wasn't enough to rely on the countries in the southwest corner of the continent, so Xu Yi set his eyes on further places.
Ten days ago, the New Flyer signed a new agreement with the Falk Kingdom. The New Flyer would invest two million gold coins in the Falk Kingdom to build five household magic machine factories, as well as help build four roads that were three thousand and four hundred kilometers long. They would obtain three iron mines, two non-ferrous metal mines, and five Magic Crystal mines in the Falk Kingdom for thirty years.
Eight days ago, the New Flyer's transport fleet returned with a delegation from the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom. After two days of negotiations, they signed a new agreement with the New Flyer.
The Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom would help the New Flyer open a mineral resource center in their country, helping the New Flyer purchase various mineral resources and Magic Crystal resources from the countries in the southeast corner of the Sines.
The price the New Flyer paid was to transfer some household magic machine technology to the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom, as well as establishing a household magic machine production base with the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom. At the same time, they worked with the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce to improve the roads in the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom.
Other than this, the New Flyer would also sell military magic machines worth five hundred thousand gold coins to the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom. They would also help the thirteen companies of the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom train their guards, ensuring that they could use these military magic machines.
The Frestech Chamber of Commerce had done business with the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom several times in the past year, so not only did they have a high reputation in the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom, they also had a good reputation in the southeast countries of the Sines Continent.
Not mentioning the household magic machines, the various agricultural magic machines and construction magic machines were very popular in the southeast countries.
In just ten months of this year, the agricultural magic machines that the New Flyer transported to the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom and the surrounding countries were over seventy thousand, totaling over eight million gold coins.
With the desire of these countries for these magic machines, the New Flyer's plan to exchange for mineral resources from them went very smoothly.
There were even three small countries that took the initiative to contact the New Flyer after receiving this news, offering their mineral resources to the New Flyer just to obtain enough agricultural magic machines, farming systems, and fertilizer from the New Flyer.
In the end, other than the countries in the southwest corner of the Sines, the countries in the Sines had always been worried about how to fill the stomachs of their citizens.
Now that they knew that there was a way to greatly increase the grain yield of their countries, wouldn't they go crazy for it?
So for the countries in the southeast corner of the Sines, Xu Yi was very assured.
What worried him a bit now was the country closest to the Principality of Constantine.
