Chapter 697: Karapag Islands

  To talk about the islands of the country of copper, there are many world-famous ones, and the most famous one is the Tierra del Fuego.

   This part of the archipelago, located at the southernmost tip of the South American continent, faces Antarctica across the sea, and is an important part of the Strait of Magellan.

   This archipelago is stuck in traffic, so it is very famous, but it does not belong to the copper country. It is half and half of Argentina. The most famous of which belongs to the copper country is Chiloé Island.

   Another well-known island is Easter Island. This island is far from the copper country and is located in the center of the South Pacific, in the middle of the continent of South America leading to the island state.

   Because of the particularity of its geographical location, many people have even been nicknamed the belly button of the earth, and because of the stone statues on the island, it has become very famous.

   In addition to these two more famous islands, because of the long and narrow coastline of Tongguo, there are actually a very large number of island groups.

   The reason why these two islands are so famous is that in addition to their geographical location, they are also because of the existence of these two islands, which has laid the huge sea frontier of the copper country.

  From Easter Island to Chiloe Island, plus the long and narrow land area radiation of Copper Country, the millions of square kilometers of sea surface in between are actually equivalent to the maritime territory of Copper Country.

The Karapag Islands mentioned by Chen Yonglu are actually located between Easter Island and Copper Country, facing the direction of the land, which is the Ithaca Region, and those descendants of the Taiping Army insisted on dividing the islands. To their territory.

   also had the thought of leaving a way out, and the generals of the Tong country at that time probably thought the same way. If these Chinese were not obedient, they would be driven to the islands to fend for themselves.

  Because of this thought of having ghosts, this island group belongs to the Ithaca region.

   The distance between this group of islands and Ithaca is not close. Xiao Feng estimated that it could be several hundred nautical miles. If the sea conditions are good, it would take a long time to drive a good boat.

  If the sea conditions are not good, it may take a day or even two days to reach the land.

  The location of the entire island group is relatively south. According to the geographical position, the latitude is similar to that of the Dongshan Peninsula of China, but because they are all islands and have a completely oceanic climate, the climate environment is much better.

   There is neither severe cold nor scorching heat. In terms of geological disasters, there is a typhoon season for one month a year, and there are often heavy rains, but nothing else.

   belongs to a group of islands very suitable for human survival, but although the environment here is very good, it is not very famous in the territory of the copper country.

   Even the government of the Copper Kingdom has deliberately ignored the meaning of this place, and usually doesn't promote it at all.

   On the one hand, it is because it is far away from the mainland, and on the other hand, because the main ethnic groups living here are all Chinese, and the purity of the Chinese descent here is relatively high.

Because I live here all the year round, I don’t have much exchanges with the copper country, and I don’t even participate in the elections of the copper country. The recognition of the copper country is relatively low, and it is the home of the Chinese families in Ithaca, the autonomous territory , So the copper government doesn’t promote it much.

   The most important thing is that there is really nothing worthy of publicity here. There is no mine, no money, and few people, so it is not worth paying attention to.

   There are countless large island groups like this in the millions of square kilometers of the maritime territory of Copper Country, and even many of them are not marked on the map at all, because they have no value at all.

   After Xiao Feng and their yacht arrived in the Karapag Islands, Chen Yonglu did not rush to take them to the island, but first took them for a few laps around the islands.

"Our archipelago is composed of more than 100 small islands, of which a dozen are relatively large, four of which belong to our families, and the other islands are common assets of the ethnic group. The area of ​​marine fish radiated by the islands , There are more than 30,000 square nautical miles, located in the Peruvian cold current zone, which belongs to the core area of ​​the Tongguo fishing ground. So our fishery here is very rich..."

  Chen Yonglu led Xiao Feng and the others around the islands while introducing the situation to Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng is also paying attention to the situation of these islands. The islands of the Karapag Archipelago are large and small, ranging from dozens of square kilometers to hundreds of square kilometers, and the small ones are only a few hundred square kilometers. Have.

  The islands are basically tropical islands with lush greenery. Many islands have very beautiful beaches and many seabirds live.

"Yes, guano is another big resource here, but after so many years of mining, the guano on many islands has been exhausted. Now there are no people doing such work. Now people mainly live in the core area. There are five big islands. Four of them are private islands of our four families. The largest Meihua Island in the middle is the core administrative area. The most people live here, with more than 50,000 people..."

"How many?"

   Xiao Feng thought if he had heard it wrong, he couldn't help but ask, Chen Yonglu scratched his head awkwardly: "Yes, there are more than 50,000 people. There are more than 10,000 people on the other four islands."

   Xiao Feng sighed, it's no wonder that Tongguo doesn't pay much attention to this place. What can happen to such a small number of people?

"More than a hundred years ago, our ancestors still attached great importance to this place. After all, we are guests in Copper Country. At that time, our ancestors also considered that they might not be able to mix on the road in the future, so they insisted on the islands here. Later, after more than a hundred years of integration and development, everyone has adapted to life on the mainland, and more and more people here go to the mainland. After all, this place is too small, and there is nothing except going out to sea to fish. Other livelihoods. There is no internet, and electricity was only available in the 1960s..."

   Chen Yonglu introduced the situation here in a slightly embarrassing manner, and Xiao Feng's heart was cold after hearing this.

   It's no wonder that this guy was so generous before, and he said that he could sell his island to him as soon as he opened his mouth!

  Emotions are so special, what a deserted island! The cost of developing this desert island is too high, especially this kind of island that is hundreds of nautical miles away from the mainland.

   Without the support of national power, it would be difficult to develop such an island.

   For example, the islands and reefs of China in the South China Sea have been left abandoned there for decades. It is only in recent years that the country has become stronger and gradually developed.

   And now, if you develop these islands yourself, the amount of money invested will definitely be huge.

  In fact, developing these islands is nothing. The key is how to control these islands. If you wait until you really develop these islands, someone pops out to pick peaches. . .

   Thinking of this, Xiao Feng looked at Chen Yonglu again. At this time, this guy was scratching his head, and he obviously knew that his previous flicker was going to be exposed. That's why he was so embarrassed. From the perspective of the gods, he was a real person.

   More than one hundred islands certainly cannot be completed in one day. Chen Yonglu probably took Xiao Feng around dozens of core areas of the island group, and then drove to the core Meihua Island.

   To tell the truth, Xiao Feng found this group of islands very interesting on his way to Meihua Island.

This group of islands is centered on Meihua Island in the middle, and is divided into circles. In the waters west of Meihua Island, there are several large islands with an area of ​​hundreds of square kilometers, but on those islands They are all deserted.

  The private islands of the Chen, Li, Weng, and Mai families are located in the four directions of Meihua Island in the southeast and northwest. The Chen family’s island is located on the north side of Meihua Island. It is a medium-sized island with an area of ​​more than 50 square kilometers.

  According to Chen Yonglu, there are about two thousand Chen family members living on the island, but most of them are left-behind old people. The young people basically go to the mainland to ask for living quarters.

   After all, compared with the Flower World in Ithaca, life on the island here is too boring.

   Meihua Island is a large island with an area of ​​just over 100 square kilometers. The island is an unconventional round shape. There is an extinct volcano in the center of the island, and there are a few lakes at the foot of the volcano, which can just provide fresh water for people living on the island.

  The other areas on the island are basically plains with very dense vegetation, but only a small part of it has been developed to grow some food and vegetables.

  According to Chen Yonglu, the products here are too rich. Find a good place. A fishing rod can catch a few big fish a day. There is fish to eat every day. Who would use rice noodles as a staple food?

   So there are not many people farming, there is no shortage of living materials for the locals~www.ltnovel.com~, but the spiritual culture is relatively empty.

   There are two piers on the west and north of the island. Some fishing boats are parked inside the small ones. You can’t walk far along the road from the pier to the administrative center of Meihua Island.

   Post offices, pharmacies, hospitals, schools, government management units, and even a small police station are all crowded here, with several streets extending beside it, on both sides of the island’s residential areas.

  As soon as he landed on the island, Xiao Feng didn't feel cordial when he saw the faces of the residents here. Although they all looked like mixed races, they could see that the level of confusion was not too deep, and the characteristics of the Chinese were still obvious.

   Moreover, Chinese signs and various Chinese billboards are everywhere on the street. The children laughing on the street, as well as the leisurely old people, all speak Chinese.

   Old people speak Cantonese or Mandarin with a heavy accent. Young people and children speak standard Mandarin, which makes Xiao Feng feel relieved.

   Chen Yonglu looked very happy after landing on the island. According to him, this is his hometown, and he grew up here when he was a child.

   Because it was already afternoon, they hadn't eaten much since they started in the morning. Chen Yonglu took Xiao Feng and Jesse directly to the only shopping mall on the island for dinner.

   said it’s a shopping mall, but it’s actually much cleaner than the wholesale market in the fourth-tier small cities in China.

Inside   , there was a food street tens of meters long, and several restaurants were sparsely opened. Chen Yonglu greeted them to enter one of them.
