Chapter 95: Chapter 95: The Concept of Colony
It seemed that he understood Newgate's look, but fortunately Jack was very thick-skinned.
Jack coughed awkwardly and said:
"I went to see the Unsullied this afternoon, and they learned a lot from you.
But they are not professional sailors after all, and they can only exert their advantages most effectively when they form an army formation on land."
Newgate frowned slightly: "So, what do you mean?"
"Leave 1,878 Unsullied to maintain order on the island, and the remaining 5,000 Unsullied will be led by Kaido to Slaver's Bay to capture Astapor."
"There are 500 sailors on the island. Let them drive 30 small ships, disguised as pirates, and rob merchant ships heading to Slaver Bay.
Remember, only medium-sized and large ships are needed. Small ships are not needed because they are not very useful."
Jack didn't want the cargo on their ship, he wanted their ship.
Newgate keenly discovered the problem, "What about you?"
Jack blinked his purple eyes, "Me? Of course I'm in the back commanding the Poseidon."
What Jack said was a matter of course, and Newgate suddenly realized it.
No wonder you let Asidorf take over my job within three months. You are such a good person. Are you afraid that I will work myself to death?
As soon as Newgate heard it, he knew Jack's intention, which was nothing more than taking the Poseidon out to relax.
But although Jack really wanted to go out and play, he also wanted to make it easier to give orders.
This time, when he occupies Astapor in Slave Bay, he will act as the Sea King of Atlantis.
On the one hand, it was to show off their muscles and let them know that Atlantis was not a soft persimmon and had strong military power, which would make it easier to negotiate business in the future.
The second is to experiment in Astapor and try to find out how to build an excellent overseas colony.
Jack was very familiar with the word "colony", but he had no experience on how to make money from the colonies.
Besides, this opportunity is rare.
After careful consideration, Jack does not think that the Unsullied have the potential to become an elite navy.
Then he might as well take advantage of the power chaos within Astapor and the war between the world's slave owners and Daenerys, and send troops to take Astapor.
Take the opportunity to test the attitudes of the slave owners.
If the slave owners still attacked Astapau after he said he would not overthrow slavery, he would defend the city.
Wait until the slave owner and Daenerys are fighting fiercely and then launch a surprise attack.
If the slave owners say they don't care about you, Jack will use Astapor as a base to establish the first overseas colony.
Then wait until the slave owner and Daenerys are fighting fiercely and then launch a surprise attack.
Anyway, Jack just wanted to find a reason to take action. He knew very well who were the reliable allies and who could bring him benefits.
If the slave owners defeated Daenerys, there was no doubt that Jack would be next.
Whether it is to kill the dragon in Jack's hand or for the technology possessed by Atlantis, they will find an excuse to take action against Jack and Atlantis.
Unless Atlantis stops trading with others and hides directly in the Seychelles Islands.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to keep Jack's identity secret for a long time.
After these free trade cities became independent, they stayed rooted in Essos for hundreds of years, but the fear of the Dragon King was still ingrained in their bones.
Without the dragons, they wouldn't think Daenerys had the ability to threaten the entire slavery system in Essos.
Naturally, they would not rush to form a joint army to attack Daenerys.
So on the surface they were just trying to maintain slavery, but in essence they were afraid that Daenerys's dragons would grow up and conquer them again.
Suppose that Dany's dragons grow up in twenty years, or even give birth to dragon cubs, then who can guarantee that there won't be another Valyria hundreds of years later?
So rather than wanting to destroy an alien disruptor of order, it would be more accurate to say that they wanted to destroy creatures like dragons.
When Daenerys called for the liberation of slaves, Yunkai still sent envoys.
It means that as long as Daenerys returns to Westeros, she will not pursue the matter of Astapor.
He was even willing to give Dany a large number of ships.
Why?
Because they expect Daenerys to rule Westeros honestly like her ancestors.
As it turned out, Dany not only got to stay in Essos, but also destroyed the slavery system in Essos.
It's like a fight between two parties, and the party with more people wants to calm down the situation, but the other party directly takes out three cannons and points them at them.
So the slave owners had to fight, and not only did they have to fight, they also had to kill all of Daenerys's dragons.
In this case, there is another budding force that has "a cannon" and also has many technologies that can earn huge wealth.
Jack knew with his ass what choice these greedy slave owners would make.
So instead of fighting back after being bullied, it is better to just put the blame on the other person and beat him up first.
-
Three days later, Pier 1, Neptune Island.
The huge Poseidon headed back to the sea, accompanied by a hundred merchant ships carrying some food and five thousand Unsullied.
In the last three days, all ships returning to Atlantis have stopped going out to sea again.
After Jack set off with the Unsullied, thirty small boats disguised themselves, put on the classic pirate skull flag, and sailed away.
Soon a group of well-armed pirates will wreak havoc on the Summer Sea.
This time when sailing, Jack specifically asked Poseidon to pull the Poseidon forward to ensure the speed of the entire fleet.
At the same time, Jack only brought 5,000 Unsullied and did not bring any bureaucratic staff.
Colony has always been a very vague concept, involving population migration, agricultural reclamation, foreign rule, commercial control, and industrial advantages.
These can all be the conditions for determining a colony. Jack's purpose in taking over Astapor this time was mainly to try agricultural reclamation and alien rule.
Jack will take control of Astapor as an Atlantean, and then ask the Astaporis to grow food for him while learning how to conduct commercial colonization.
Jack ordered the sailing to be quickened, for he did not know how long Yunkai could hold out against Dany.
What if Dany took Yunkai directly and then captured Astapor directly? Wouldn't that be a wasted trip?
Either Jack has to take Astapor from Dany, which is not impossible.
But if Daenerys suddenly gave Astapor to Jack, it would be difficult to repay the favor.
This time Vittoria did not follow Jack. She had to recruit the Seagull spies on Poseidon Island.
The group of people who were secretly bribed by Jack at that time will be transformed from an opposition status into formal employees with status and organization.
When I come back, I have to find a chance to meet Varys and learn from him some experience in managing an intelligence organization.
