It is an island located in the Atlantic Ocean. It is very large. According to Jiang Xuelan's description, it is almost twenty times the size of the main city of Liangzhou today.
With an area of almost 100,000 square kilometers, it can be said to be a very large island on the sea.
According to Jiang Xuelan's description, this island is sparsely populated and has large arable land suitable for growing cotton.
It is said that Denmark, another European power, once occupied this island and it was their colonial area, but Denmark itself seems to have forgotten this.
In short, the island is now in a very backward stage. The society on the island is still in the agricultural era, and the people who believe in gods appear from nowhere.
A pirate who knew nothing acted as God's messenger on that island and occupied the island.
Jiang Xuelan established a cooperative relationship with him, established a trade center on the island, and even owned a large plantation on the island.
After hearing this, Li Hongtian immediately understood the key point. Denmark is a major power in Europe. It merged with Norway to rule that sea area.
Jiang Xuelan told him this because she wanted to use the power of Long Yan to protect the island, and it was best to be able to leave independently.
This way her business can continue on the island.
In fact, dismantling the colonial system is something Long Yan is very happy to do.
The reason why these European powers are powerful is because they developed superb warships during the Age of Discovery.
Rely on these battleships to invade other continents, colonize and occupy their resources, and strengthen yourself.
If the European colonies can be dismantled, the strength of countries large and small in this place will be greatly reduced.
Li Hongtian nodded: "I will find a way to deal with this matter, but there is no rush."
Jiang Xuelan nodded. She knew how difficult this matter was. Although she was doing business in Iceland, she had not been harassed by Denmark.
But if Denmark comes to its senses and finds itself doing this kind of thing in other people's colonies.
As a businessman, she will definitely not end well at that time.
After thinking of this, Jiang Xuelan asked Li Hongtian for help. While she was still in front of Li Hongtian, she had a good impression.
"In this way, you first mark the location of Iceland on the map."
Jiang Xuelan runs boats all year round, and a nautical chart is also a kind of map. She clicked on a place on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, close to the territory of Tsarist Russia.
Mark the approximate location of Iceland.
Li Hongtian was slightly startled when he saw the location of Iceland. Others may not know how important Iceland's geographical location is, but Long Yan, who had fought against Tsarist Russia, knew it very well.
Whether it is Tsarist Russia, France, or Prussia, this big island needs to pass through here if it wants to go to America.
This is a bit interesting.
The geographical location is relatively important and it owns a large area of cultivated land. Its independence is very valuable to Long Yan.
After some deliberation, Li Hongtian finally made the decision to send people to negotiate with Denmark, no, to inform them to abandon the Icelandic colony and begin the chapter of dismantling the colonial regime.
However, this matter still needs to be figured out slowly.
The Danish Empire was originally the Kamal Union consisting of Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
But now the Kamal Alliance exists in name only. The empire formed by the merger of Denmark and Norway and the annexation of surrounding territories. The country is strong.
However, due to climate reasons, there is not much land suitable for human habitation. Most of the time, their land is surrounded by ice and snow.
Going to talk to the powerful Denmark about dismantling the colony now is a bit of a fool's errand. Long Yan must wait for an opportunity.
