"Dear gentlemen, the weather conditions are good. Not far ahead is the first supply station on the border of Jinsha State. The fuel in the power module is currently sufficient, which is enough for us to fly to the next New Flamingo supply station. After stopping for supplies, we will fly directly.
The capital of Hyjal, what do you gentlemen think?"
According to the normal process, the steam airship to the eastern coast of Hyjal is about more than 1,300 miles long, and it needs to stop at five supply stations. However, it may be that the two groups of passengers total only twelve people, and the airship itself is
If it is not full, this kind of luxury cabin that serves the nobility will not be packed with people like a public carriage. It would rather be empty than make the cabin crowded and cause customer dissatisfaction.
In fact, their ship is a two-person luxury first class cabin. Each airship only sells two cabin tickets, each with a comfortable small bedroom. The rest are dining and attendant seats. The ticket price is fifty gold pounds per person.
Once you sell one ticket, you have already recovered your capital and still made a profit.
There are also single-person luxury cabin tickets, but John doesn’t think it’s necessary to show off that style. The ticket price is three times that of a double first-class ticket. With that kind of money, you can buy a single apartment in the Clinton District.
The crew was not full, and John and the others carried very little luggage and reduced the load a lot, so the airship flew much faster than the captain expected, and the fuel was saved by one-fifth for each leg of the journey.
After about one hour, there will be enough surplus to reduce the number of supply stations by two, and only listen to the two supply stations in New Flamenco and Hyjal Capital, and finally reach the terminal east of the mid-continent.
After hearing this, John discussed with Adams and agreed to the captain's request. This would also shorten their journey by one day and give them some time to visit the capital of Hyjal.
After a silent night, the airship docked at the Nueva Flamingo State Supply Station for a night.
Time was limited, and Nick Adams, a local coward, did not take John to experience New Flamenco and left early the next day.
Halfway past New Flamenco, we entered the Central Continent area. After New Flamenco, we reach the northernmost Flamengo State of Hyjal. In fact, it is the place left after being annexed by the White Eagle Federation.
It wasn't that Hyjal couldn't be captured during the first war, but that the remaining half of the land was even more barren and was abandoned by the federal government.
The Midcontinent is a bridge connecting the northern and southern continental plates of the New World, with a total area of about 1.5 million square miles.
After entering the central continent, I sat in the airship and looked down through the closed glass window less than two feet in diameter. I saw patches of desert and Gobi. The only green was the cactus and a few shrubs dotted among them.
"The golden country of Hyjal is a barren and rich country that occupies most of the central continent."
John sighed.
Although Hyjal is rich in gold, silver and other mineral resources, its harsh natural environment is not a livable place. Heat and drought often plague the people on this land. More than 50% of its land is occupied by John and the others.
This deserted landscape we saw.
Young Nick listened and said in a mature tone:
"Yes! Every year, many refugees sneak into New Flamingo, which brings us a large amount of cheap labor and also brings many hidden dangers to our security."
This place used to be a colony of the Spanian Empire. Although the Sbanians were extremely exploited, they could at least manage to maintain food and clothing. But after Hyjal was encouraged to become independent by thoughtful people, it never saw better days, and it has been living between the empire and the
The struggles between republics include the White Eagle Federation, the Franz Republic and other countries behind the scenes. Of course, it is also accompanied by royal powers secretly competing with republican countries.
Without him, everything is just for profit.
Therefore, in the years since Hyjal became independent, there has been basically no stable life for a few days, and domestic turmoil has led to unspeakable misery for the people.
Therefore, after the White Eagle Federation used the pretext of invading New Flamingo State, a land that originally belonged to Hyjal, in the past twenty years, people from Hyjal have been smuggling to New Flamingo in the three western states of the federation that are only separated by a wall.
On the land of Columbia.
John looked at the young man and said:
"This is bound to happen, just like water flowing downwards. Compared to Hyjal, which is as chaotic as hell, the three western states we rule are like paradise to them."
The two couldn't help but smile at each other. They are both the ruling class of the three western states, so they naturally have to sit upright. Even a young man like Nick who is only fifteen years old needs training in this area, so that his three views are also very upright.
Although the things claimed by the aristocratic faction may not be without brainwashing, the key things done by the aristocrats have indeed brought benefits to the people under their rule, allowing the order in the three western states to remain relatively stable.
On the contrary, the politicians on the federal government side are making loud noises. In fact, various laws are either unrealistic or good but cannot be implemented. The integrity of capitalists is often driven away by their interests.
The lower line is lower than you think. Think about it and you will know what the result will be.
After several hours, young Nick was tired of looking at the vast desert scene and began to doze off. He finally arrived at the airship supply station in San Jose, the capital of Hyjal, before one o'clock in the afternoon.
This line is a fixed line between the east and west of the New World, and San Jose is the largest transfer station, so the airship supply station is very busy.
Because they had one afternoon and one night, the captain reminded them that the open-air market here was only open during the day.
After all, although the public security in San Jose is good, it depends on where it is compared. After all, it is Haijal. There are also large slums in the city of San Jose, accounting for almost two-thirds of the entire city. The rest are San Jose.
The government is committed to creating a safe zone where foreign tourists can visit with confidence.
This is also to revitalize the capital's economy. After so many years of implementation, the effect is obviously very good. Now the tax revenue from San Jose alone is worth more than half of the entire Hyjal's vast territory of more than one million square miles.
Therefore, neither of them stayed at the noisy supply station. After getting off the airship, Nick Adams was no longer sleepy as if he had been recharged. He happily hired two carriages with John and the others and rushed towards the open-air market.
.
The carriage driver here had already seen many guests like John and the others, and he drove the carriage through the lanes to avoid the crowds, and soon arrived at the open-air market in downtown San Jose.
This square was originally built to celebrate the victory of Hyjal's War of Independence. It was the largest square in the New World at that time.
However, as the internal turmoil in Hyjal continues for a long time, the public's support for the government has dropped to its lowest point, and they will even miss the period of colonial rule by Spania, so naturally they will not pay attention to this square that commemorates the victory of the revolution.
There is no respect in my heart.
Many people who can't make ends meet choose to set up stalls in the square on Sundays to sell things they don't need at home to support their families. Many of them are even family members of government officials.
At first, some people in power thought that this was an insult to the country and sent military and police to drive them away. However, they could not resist the law and did not punish the public. Later, one of the governments simply passed half of the law and ordered people to uniformly arrange for people to set up stalls on Sunday afternoons.
Slowly it developed into the current huge scale of the market that is open every day. There are even many out-of-town vendors who specialize in making a living from this, which has caused the population of San Jose to increase suddenly and created a kind of abnormal prosperity.
What John and others saw after getting off the carriage was the scene of crowds of people jostling one after another, which shocked the young Nick, who had rarely seen so many people at once.
But for John, it was not surprising. At best, this place was at the level of an open-air gathering during the Chinese New Year in the north. In the previous life, ordinary prefecture-level cities had train stations and other public places with millions of people. It was still far behind.
