When the Black Shark floated out of the sea like a deep-sea beast, the Royal Fleet immediately became alert and a cannon quietly aimed at the Black Shark.

If the Black Shark shows a little bit of aggressiveness, it will be bombarded immediately.

The Lemoria in the command center were very calm. The Black Shark was covered with a thick layer of steel plates, and the backward artillery alone was not enough to effectively kill the Black Shark.

The Black Shark submarine uses magic power, which is similar to the real nuclear submarine and can be submersible for a long time; unlike diesel-powered submarines, they need to float to the sea regularly to charge the battery.

Seeing General Xu Chu come out of the back of the "monster", Gan Ning immediately lifted the alarm.

The next thing was simple. After the Shenwu Guard returned to the ground through the spiral steps and joined the fleet, the Royal Fleet set sail again.

The difference is that the Royal Fleet has one new member - the Black Shark.

Ouyang Shuo had already instructed Gan Ning to incorporate the Black Shark submarine into the Royal Fleet combat sequence, and at the same time arranged for capable personnel to enter the Black Shark to learn submarine operation technology from Instructor Lemoria.

When the Royal Fleet left, a white light flashed and the sacred mountain disappeared from the sea again. Who knew that there was a powerful ancient civilization hidden in this ordinary sea area?!

***************

November 28, Melbourne.

After a long journey, the Royal Fleet finally successfully docked in the Port of Melbourne, Australia.

The original meaning of the word Australia is "the continent in the south". When Europeans discovered this continent in the 17th century, they mistakenly thought it was a land that directly leads to the Antarctic, so they named it "Australia".

The royal city of Canberra is located on the southeast coast.

Australia is surrounded by the sea and is the only country in the world with a land covering an entire continent. It is also called "the country sitting on a mine cart" and "the country riding on the back of a sheep".

Seventy percent of Australia's land is arid or semi-arid zone, and most areas in the central region are not suitable for human habitation. Only 260,000 square kilometers of land can be used for livestock and farming, mainly distributed in the southeast coastal areas.

In reality, Melbourne and Sydney alone gather more than half of Australia's population.

That's why there is only one lord in Australia in the game, Avera, and the main city is located in Melbourne, the largest city outside the royal city of Canberra.

Australia has rich mineral resources, with at least 70 species, and its bauxite reserves rank first in the world. The output of gold, iron ore, coal, lithium, manganese ore, nickel, silver, uranium, zinc, etc. is also among the best in the world.

At the same time, Australia is also the world's largest exporter of bituminous coal, bauxite, lead, diamond, zinc and concentrate, the second largest exporter of alumina, iron ore, and uranium, and the third largest exporter of alumina and gold.

Australia's rich mineral resources are the most attractive to Ouyang Shuo.

The Royal Fleet of Daxia was able to successfully dock in Melbourne thanks to the envoys sent by Honglu Temple earlier.

In addition to mineral resources, Australia does not occupy any strategic position in the global waters, but rather is like a remote place. Since this is the case, Ouyang Shuo naturally waved his butcher knife and drove the Australians to the trial place.

If you really want to do that, it will only make Daxia make enemies around the world. In that case, it will be of no benefit to Ouyang Shuo himself or Daxia when you arrive at the planet of Hope.

"Taking the minimum damage to the greatest strategic benefit; using cooperation to achieve win-win results, continuously enhancing Daxia's influence on a global scale, and expanding its circle of friends." It has become the strategic core of Daxia.

Therefore, two months ago, the envoys of the Honglu Temple brought Ouyang Shuo's peace promise to Avila. For Avila, it would be better to be able to avoid war and start a war with Daxia ore trade.

Games are not as realistic as they are not as developed as global trade networks.

Australia has only a staggering mineral reserves but cannot be sold overseas for economic benefits. It can only treat a large amount of ore as scrap copper and iron, which is really a waste of resources.

Opening up the trade route with Daxia is naturally a win-win situation.

That night, Avila prepared a grand welcome dinner at the Lord's House of Melbourne.

Not only Melbourne's core level was attended by the dinner, but also the adventure player elites from the royal city of Canberra, which brought together the essence of players from all over Australia.

For Australia, the arrival of the Royal Fleet of the Great Xia is really a historic event.

"Welcome to our friends, King of Xia!" Avila raised her wine glass, looking extremely excited, "Cheers!"

Secretly, Avila was far from so excited. As early as when the Great Xia envoy arrived in Melbourne, [Silver Hand] secretly warned Avila not to get too close to Da Xia.

Until the Royal Fleet stayed in Xingzhou County, Avila was still hesitant.

However, when the Java Badong fleet was still beaten by the Royal Fleet of Daxia, Avila finally let go of all her worries.

"【Silver Hand】can't save Melbourne, only Daxia can save Melbourne."

Of course, Avila is not a simple person to stand out in Australia. The ore trade with Daxia is not an exclusive trade. Avila has shown goodwill to William of the UK, saying that he can conduct ore trade with Fort Avik at any time, and even the price is more preferential than Daxia.

The premise is to open up a maritime trade channel between the two.

After all, the two countries have a great historical origin. Britain can be called Australia's "parent family". In addition to the indigenous Maori, most Australians' ancestors were British immigrants in the 19th and 20th centuries.

"cheers!"

Ouyang Shuo raised his wine glass with a warm smile on his face, but his heart was extremely calm. From when, the reputation of the Great Xia Dynasty enjoyed across the world has surpassed any feudal dynasty in history.

This is how Western powers are good at making arrangements globally.

If you are not a Chinese, it is difficult to experience this sense of national pride.

"Let me make up for the unfinished achievements of the dynasties in history!" Ouyang Shuo thought in his heart, and his inner goal seemed to have been sublimated again.

…………

In the evening, Ouyang Shuo quietly met a middle-aged man dressed in a strange manner at the place where he was staying.

This person's name is Kupei, and he is a representative of the Maori Australians. He has previously contacted the spies lurking in Australia by the Black Snake Guard.

Although Ouyang Shuo had no intention of setting off war in Australia, it does not mean that Ouyang Shuo would unconditionally trust Avila. How could Ouyang Shuo not know the origins of Australia, Britain and the Western world?

In addition to the omnipresent [Silver Hand], Ouyang Shuo must be on guard against one or two.

The clever approach is to quietly support a pro-Daxia force within Australia under the premise of win-win cooperation to avoid capsizing in the gutter.

Maori people who had no good feelings for Westerners naturally became Ouyang Shuo's best target for him.

The two talked for an hour before Kupei quietly left in the darkness.

Ouyang Shuo promised Kupe that in the future, Daxia will use the cover of ore trade to quietly transport advanced weapons and equipment to the Maori people, and even send generals to train troops for the Maori people.

Australia is vast and Avila cannot monitor it, not to mention that Maori is the real indigenous people of this land, familiar with Australia's mountains, rivers, grass and trees.

After seeing off Kupei, Ouyang Shuo thought about something.

In fact, there are many Chinese living in Australia, but Ouyang Shuo has no intention of contacting these people. After generations, or even dozens of generations, although these Chinese people have Chinese blood, they may not have a Chinese heart. Furthermore, Chinese are generally "crawling" and are not as realistic as Maori people.

…………

In the following week, accompanied by Avila, Ouyang Shuo personally visited several large iron and coal mines in Australia, and experienced the scenery of Australia.

On December 6, in addition to including Australia in the scope of the Pan-Pacific Trade Partnership Agreement, Ouyang Shuo also signed a separate mineral trade agreement with Melbourne on behalf of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The agreement specifies the types, quantity and price of ore delivery.

When the agreement is truly implemented, the ore shortage faced by the Daxia Dynasty will be basically solved, and the dynasty will be able to operate at full capacity and there will be no worries about industrialization.

At the same time, Ouyang Shuo was also very interested in Australian wool.

Australia is known as the "country riding on the back of sheep". The number of sheep is twenty times the population. There are more sheep than people and it is the world's largest wool exporter.

Wool is a good thing, it can become the third largest textile raw material in Daxia, except silk and cotton cloth, and greatly promote the dynasty's textile industry.

Avila naturally enjoyed seeing this.

Melbourne is also known as "New Goldsoft" to distinguish it from the "San Francisco" in the United States. It is because Melbourne, like San Francisco, has a rich gold mine, which once triggered a wave of gold rush in history.

Due to the gold rush, Melbourne's population has grown rapidly and gradually became a wealthy big city.

Avila built the landlord city in the original location of Melbourne, and even the name was not changed, which is not without reason. Therefore, even on a global scale, Avila is a relatively wealthy lord.

Even so, no one will think that there is too much money.

It is estimated that by the time the two trade agreements are implemented, Melbourne will be able to earn more than 4 million gold coins a year by simply exporting ore and wool to the Great Xia Dynasty.

With the intensification of industrialization in Daxia, this trade volume will continue to rise.

To this end, Avila had to allocate more labor and devote herself to the mining and animal husbandry industries to meet the huge procurement needs of Daxia.

During the cooperation period, Avila politely expressed that she hoped to purchase weapons and equipment from Daxia and the Z1 warships, but was "politely" rejected by Ouyang Shuo.

What a joke, Ouyang Shuo doesn't want to raise a strong Australia.
