As a reward for sending troops to help occupy the entire Ireland Island, Edward classified the territory near Cork Port in the southern Ireland as a county, and granted Marin the name of County Cork as a reward. At the same time, Marin had another title of "Earl of Cork" on his head.

In fact, at the beginning, Edward gave Marin to Marin as a reward for sending troops to help him seize the throne. However, at that time, except for County Wicklow, Marin had only a separate city in Corin, including the nearby Corin Bay, with limited territory. The last time he sent troops to help conquer the entire Ireland, Edward assigned him the territory of about 2,000 square kilometers around Corin, as compensation, and named it County Corin.

This county of Cork is not as large as the later countries of Cork, which is more than 7,000 square kilometers. Mainly, most of the territory of the later countries of Cork are the territory of the Norman noble Desmondberg. The country of Desmondberg did not oppose Edward, and Edward was not able to withdraw this country. It was because Edward used the territory of the O'Brien native family in the north of Desmondberg in exchange for more than 2,000 square kilometers of land and granted it to Marin.

Now, after County Wicklow was given to Adler as a seal, this reduced version of County Cork became Marin's main control area in Ireland.

Cork Bay outside Cork is also a good harbor that Marin attaches great importance to. Sending a ship to the Americas from here will be much closer than sending a ship to North America from the local city.

As for how to contact the local area in Cork Port, it is naturally a carrier pigeon...

Cork Port has a pigeon delivery route that connects London, and London and Orich, a native of the North Sea country, also have a pigeon delivery route. Therefore, when ordering Cork Port to send a ship to North America, you only need to send a pigeon from Orich to London, and then send a pigeon from London to Cork Port, you can convey the order.

What? Are you worried about the news being intercepted? This is not a problem. Because Marin's secret information is generally written in Chinese, and other European countries do not know Chinese at all. Only Marin and a few senior spies in the Beihai country understand Chinese. Even if the pigeon is intercepted and the enemy intercepts the information, they are completely incomprehensible. Moreover, some encrypted information will use more advanced Morse codes. When others read it, they are all Arabic numerals, and they will only be confused...

Therefore, through these measures, Marin can use pigeon communications to contact and contact the North American colonies with confidence.

Because there are abundant forest resources near Cork Port and the need to repair ships, Marin simply ordered the construction of a shipyard in Cork Port, which is mainly responsible for the construction and repair of ships that contact North American colonies. The mission of this shipyard is to build and repair the express transmission clutches and quickly contact North American colonies.

Why did Marin spend so much effort to build this port and shipyard in Port Cork on Ireland? This involves a plan of Marin...

"It's time to build a fly-scissor!" After hearing that the shipyard in Cork Port was completed, Marin finally made up his mind...

...

Yes, Marin intends to use Cork Port in Ireland as the home port, to build and moor the strongest type of ship to convey messages - Clippers...

Anyone who knows a little about navigation history knows that flying scissors are the fastest type of ship in the sailing era, no one! This kind of ship can run at an ultra-high speed of 17 knots on the sea and is a powerful tool for racing (ships) on the sea.

Once upon a time, the famous 19th century clipper "Kati Sak" (also known as the Short Shirt) ran 100 days to go back to London from Guangzhou to the Cape of Good Hope. Now, even if you use the Garen boat, it takes more than 10 months to return to Europe from Guangzhou to the Cape of Good Hope, which is more than 300 days. In other words, the time spent on the crawler boat is only one-third of the average Garen boat. In other words, the average speed of the crawler boat is three times that of the Garen boat...

Triple speed! What does this mean? This means that Marin's colonial and trade activities can greatly save time!

Not only did it travel back and forth between China, but even across the Atlantic Ocean, the speed of the flying ships was faster. Originally, it took more than a month to use the Garen ship to cross the Atlantic Ocean and take a smooth current (North Atlantic warm current) route from west to east to east, and two or three months to west.

But if you use a fly-scissor, it will take only 13 days to cross the Atlantic Ocean, which is more than twice as fast as nearly three times!

...

But why didn’t Marin use a flying boat clipper before? Because he was afraid of leaking secrets! The principle of flying boat clipper is simple, and Marin can create it, but others can create it when they see it!

If the fly-scissors pass through the English Channel in a dignified way, they will inevitably be seen. If someone is interested in carefully observe, you will definitely find the reason for the fly-scissors' high-speed.

If you are imitated in this way, it would be a bad thing!

In particular, Marin was afraid that the Spaniards and the Portuguese would get the technology of flying scissors. Therefore, he would rather hold the technology of flying scissors in his hands and never take it out.

Before, even after getting Cork City and Cork Bay, Marin never thought about building and mooring fly-scissors in Cork Harbor. Why? Because Cork City was surrounded by Desmondberg, it was easy to be monitored by Desmondberg.

If they discover the characteristics of the fly-scissors and tell them about it in other countries, it will be easy to leak the secret!

Therefore, Marin did not take action. It was not until last year that Edward thanked him for sending troops to help occupy the entire Ireland and gave him more than 2,000 square kilometers of land near Cork City, that Marin had the idea of ​​building a shipyard in Cork Port, building and docking the fly-scissors...

It should be pointed out that in this era, Ireland was an absolute "remote countryside" in Europe, and no foreign ships came, so there was almost no possibility of leaking the information.

Moreover, after the fly-scissors at Cork Harbor went out to sea, they entered the Atlantic Ocean and rushed to the North American colonies without passing through the waters of any other European country, nor on the trade routes between England and other European countries. In this way, no one saw how the fly-scissors waved and how fast they were on the Atlantic Ocean.

At the same time, after obtaining more than 2,000 square kilometers of territory near Cork City, Marin can place a warning post on land far from Cork City to prevent spies from Desmondberg from seeing the situation in Cork Port.

In addition, Marin also ordered the blockade of Cork Port, strictly prohibiting ships from other countries and other forces from approaching. Once discovered, all ships will be seized and confiscated. In this way, the possibility of ships from other countries and other forces coming to Cork Port is cut off.

In this way, Marin's men in Cork Harbor could roam at will. They could build any ship, and they could rush at will...
