Chapter 922 - 477: The Return of the Northern Sea; Canglan Star Has Already Become Great Xia’s Territory
"Back!"
Yang Fan, in the identity of Mr. Spirit Crows, stood on the endless northern seashore and softly spoke a sentence.
His secretary, Su Yuxuan, looked quite excited: "Great Xia lost the Northern Sea for more than three hundred years, and I didn’t expect it to be reclaimed so quickly."
A few days ago, she heard from the boss that "the Northern Sea will soon return," but she thought it would be at least a few years later. Who knew it would be done in just a few days.
The "lost Northern Sea" Su Yuxuan mentioned was precisely the mess created by the previous dynasty of Great Xia.
This dynasty caused Great Xia to fall for more than two hundred years, and only now has it returned to its peak.
Just yesterday.
Little Ivan, on behalf of the Aberria Alliance, signed a significant agreement with Great Xia, returning as much as 2.4 million square kilometers of disputed area to the Eastern Giant Dragon.
The agreement is named after a geographical term — the Northern Sea Agreement.
The so-called "disputed area," to put it bluntly, is the territory lost in Great Xia’s history.
The Aberria Alliance hoped to show sincerity to gain Great Xia’s strong support, thereby preventing the alliance from being completely destroyed by the Bering people’s Heping Bullet.
Understandably, the Northern Sea Agreement immediately ignited global public opinion.
The Bering people instantly issued a statement, refusing to acknowledge the agreement and angrily accusing the alliance of being a traitor gang.
The Aberria Alliance retorted, accusing the Bering Kingdom of being a group of inhumane executioners, having killed over 17 million Aberria people. The alliance vowed to make the kingdom pay a bloody price.
The war of words between the parties was quite lively.
Great Xia remained silent, opting merely to quietly release the latest map, with the national territory increasing from 12.78 million square kilometers before the Age of Calamity to 15.24 million square kilometers.
Out of consideration for low profile, they didn’t account for territories "entrusted" to Great Xia.
Such as "Shapudian," which Great Xia has completely controlled.
Or areas like "Jickistan," where few people survive, and Great Xia seized the opportunity to take over.
Combined, these territories yield a total area exceeding 3.8 million square kilometers.
So strictly calculated, the actual land area is close to 19 million square kilometers.
"Woo~"
A whistling sound came from afar.
Yang Fan looked up and immediately saw several fighter jets skimming over the lake surface.
With his exceptional vision, he could clearly see the flag on the side of the fuselage from over five kilometers away.
Su Yuxuan glanced along and said: "The higher-ups have decided to deploy five army divisions and one air force division to garrison Northern Sea; these should be the fighter jets patrolling Northern Sea."
Yang Fan acknowledged with an "Mm."
The secretary mentioned another interesting anecdote: "After the news of the Northern Sea’s return broke out, many people at home called for opening a Northern Sea tourist line, allowing group or individual travel to let citizens thoroughly appreciate the great rivers and mountains of the nation."
Yang Fan was quite speechless.
All over the world, the frost disasters have just ended, flood calamities haven’t concluded, and citizens of various countries live in constant fear.
Only in the minds of Great Xia people do thoughts of "appreciate the great rivers and mountains" come up.
Su Yuxuan casually mentioned: "Some governors believe that the hazards surrounding Northern Sea are too many, and resources need to be assessed, thus it is not advisable to open tourism in the short term."
After the onset of the Age of Calamity, the Bering people’s management of Northern Sea was almost neglected, with plenty of highly dangerous mutated creatures naturally emerging in such a vast region.
Yang Fan thought for a while and stated: "The scenery of Northern Sea is so beautiful and has special historical significance, I believe it should be open to tourists.
"The military and Jiuzhou Legion can first clear out a safe zone, then build some essential infrastructure, and subsequently open it as a Northern Sea tourist area."
He paused, then laughed: "No matter if it’s an awakened superpower or understanding a cultivation technique, one’s mental state is quite important.
Maybe some people might see Northern Sea, see Su Wu’s statue, recite ’Drink ice from the moon pit, eat snow from the sky when hungry,’ and reflect on the past and present, thus realizing a superpower?"
This poem was written by ancient Great Xia, a classic regarding Northern Sea, describing the legend of "Su Wu herding sheep at the Northern Sea edge."
Since the return of Northern Sea, this poem has spread wildly on social platforms.
Su Yuxuan listened and laughed: "Indeed, many people online swear to emulate the ancients and experience ’drink ice, eat snow’ when they visit Northern Sea."
The secretary then said: "I’ll pass on your opinions later."
Knowing deep down, Mr. Spirit Crow’s will is bound to be executed.
The reason is simple, Mr. Spirit Crow single-handedly devised the successful "Eastern Bering Plan," reclaiming Northern Sea into Great Xia’s embrace so swiftly, becoming a historical figure.
Although, in terms of ranking at the Governor Level, the boss is nominally only ranked last.
In reality, his influence far exceeds the other governors, making his voice naturally more resounding.
Yang Fan laughed aloud again: "Carmenia Federation has fallen into the Demon Realm, Bering Kingdom completely divided, the situation on Canglan Star is settled, leaving it to time henceforth, Great Xia should focus on developing the Primordial World."
Su Yuxuan nodded in agreement: "Indeed."
Before the Age of Calamity, Carmenians and Bering people were the only countries capable of rivaling Great Xia in influence.
Now both have no chance for a comeback, Canglan Star has become Great Xia people’s territory.
Yang Fan turned and looked at the distant water surface, his figure suddenly moved, and the whole person disappeared without a trace.
