Ouyang Shuo decided to keep the name of Gibraltar Port.

He was planning to build a mid-sized city on the limited and narrow land. It would be used for trading and would act as the supply center for the Mediterranean Squadron.

The name of this territory would be Jidian City.

Jidian meant center and base. Ouyang Shuo chose such a name because he hoped to build Jidian City into the base and root of their long-distance trading in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean Oceans.

As the country war had not ended, Shanhai City's occupation of the port was unofficial; the situation could change at any time. Based on the rules of country wars, the war could only end in a few ways: either one country gets destroyed, both sides come to a truce, or land or money is paid.

The only way the development of Jidian City could head on the fast track was if the Spanish royal family agreed that Shanhai City's occupation of Gibraltar was legal. Only if they received such permission could they open up a relay in the country.

Ouyang Shuo needed to personally come out to settle matters if he wanted to achieve this goal.

Day, Gibraltar Port.

The charred black Gibraltar Port turn into a huge construction site. Many navy warriors took off their equipment, becoming construction workers. They cleaned up the facilities of the port as well as the houses in the area.

Ouyang Shuo's order was to clear up Jidian City within three days.

After leaving most of his forces at Jidian City, Ouyang Shuo led two navy camps and once again proceeded toward Atlantis Island. For this visit, Ouyang Shuo was using the name of Shanhai City Lord.

Hence, this was an official visit.

For the Mediterranean Squadron to truly set up roots here, they needed friends. Gibraltar Port alone would face massive issues in supplying them.

Atlantis was undoubtedly the best ally they could obtain.

From Ouyang Shuo's point of view, they could complement one another.

For this visit, Ouyang Shuo did not come empty-handed. He brought high grade tea leaves, porcelain, great spices, and an especially huge gift.

During the ocean floor operation, the voyage squadron had obtained a total of 5300 Spanish cannons.

The voyage squadron kept 10. They would bring these 10 cannons back to Shanhai City for the No.7 Research Institute to research it and aid Shanhai City in cannon making.

The newly formed Mediterranean Squadron would keep three thousand for themselves. Based on the plans, they would fix 300 cannons onto the walls of Jidian City.

Of the remaining two thousand, Ouyang Shuo was ready to gift Atlantis one thousand. If they were set up around the outer circle islands, it would greatly increase their defense.

After all, the combat puppets were strategic weapons and could not be easily used.

Atlantis had just risen. Naturally, no one would have other thoughts about it yet. But as the game progressed, and the country wars grew more intense, overlords would rise.

At that time, they would surely target Atlantis, this juicy piece of meat.

Ouyang Shuo roughly recalled that in the 5th year, the Spanish threatened Atlantis. In this life, because of Ouyang Shuo, Atlantis had appeared a year and a half early, and the Spanish Invincible Squadron was crushed. Hence, everything would change.

Even so, that did not mean that Atlantis would have nothing to worry about.

Planning for the worst was always the best strategy.

...

Kalia seemed extremely delighted about Ouyang Shuo's Visit, and she arranged a massive welcoming ceremony. Fresh red carpets lined the floor from the north port into the palace in the inner circle island.

Kalia led all the ministers of the country to personally welcome them at the port.

”Lianzhou Lord Qiyue Wuyi greets the queen.”

After Ouyang Shuo got off the boat, he bowed toward Kalia to show his respect.

”Lord Wuyi, welcome back to Atlantis!” Kalia tried her best to control her emotions and introduced him to the various ministers.

During the rushed goodbye last time, they had not had the chance to meet.

Of course, most of them were appointed in these few past days. They were previously struggling to survive, so why would they bother to build a perfect structure?

Everything was just to survive.

When they reached the surface, everything was different. Atlantis needed to show the outside world their strength and unity, so they must complete the structure in a short time.

Kalia herself was officially coronated and wore the crown.

The research organizations, factories, and other important facilities on the island had started to be used again. Atlantis was recovering at a shocking pace, and it was filled with a boundless vitality.

During the greetings, the Divine Martial Guards and the sailors dragged out box after box of gifts from the boats, forming a small mountain on the port. One thousand Spanish cannons were lined up, forming a truly majestic scene.
