Chapter 1409 The Florence Palace

But now, with his own fleet's protection, Boss Huang naturally called all his sisters-in-law.

Well, it was an archipelago, so there was sunshine, beaches, and swimsuits. Boss Huang felt like giving a thumbs-up, but what shocked him was that none of his sisters-in-law wanted to go.

The eldest, Leng Zhiruo, actually wanted to go the most, but the unlucky kid Huang Fan had surgery, so she had to stay by her son's side and couldn't go.

What? You ask what kind of surgery Huang Fan had?

Of course, it was some common issue that boys are born with, like being too long, or something like that.

The second eldest, Leng Zhiwen, had no interest at all. Because she had to film all over the world, she had visited almost every major country on Earth and had no interest in going to some archipelago. Especially when she learned that Huang He planned to invite other sisters, she understood Huang He's ulterior motives and flatly refused.

As for Leng Zhimeng, she was initially quite interested. Then she asked, "Is the internet speed on that archipelago fast?"

Huang He didn't know either, so he asked the Bearded King. Then this prince, despite his busy schedule, took the time to tell Huang He that it was a place where birds wouldn't shit and only a few fishermen lived. Naturally, no one would lay network cables there. The only way to communicate was by satellite phone.

What's more, it was in the blind spot of large communication satellites, only covered by small communication satellites, so even through communication satellites, 1

But the advantage of choosing to build the palace here was also obvious, and that was security.

Because of the dense reefs surrounding it, large ships simply couldn't approach the small island. For example, the cruise ship Boss Huang was on had to dock ten nautical miles away from the Fereldreese Palace, and Boss Huang himself had to take a speedboat carried by the cruise ship to the island.

This Fereldreese Palace was newly built in the 17th century. At that time, ironclad ships did not exist, and the effective range of cannons was at most about 1 kilometer, less than a nautical mile. Therefore, the cannons of these warships could not cover the Fereldreese Palace at all.

If the enemies of the Fereldreese chief wanted to occupy this palace, the only way would be to dispatch small boats to land and attack.

But when the speedboat carrying Boss Huang arrived at the outer perimeter of the Fereldreese Palace, Boss Huang, who personally saw the majestic palace, understood that it was impossible to occupy the palace by landing.

This is because the palace was also built on a large coral reef, with no beach at all. Therefore, the palace walls could be built directly on the outermost island terrain, and when the ships approached the island, they would be directly against the palace walls.

Since it was small boats coming, they definitely couldn't carry cannons. Therefore, the soldiers on the boats could only try to climb the city walls to attack.

But the problem was that small boats couldn't even carry a larger ladder, and ladders couldn't be propped up on the boats, so unless these soldiers were all Spider-Men, it would be a fool's dream to climb the city walls.

According to the foreign affairs advisor beside him, when the Fereldreese chief's enemies learned the news, they did send 5 warships to besiege it.

As a result, this powerful navy only scouted around the Fereldreese Palace and then immediately gave up all their plans, returning without firing a shot, leaving behind a famous saying: "Unless humans can drop shells from the sky, even the Sea God cannot breach this fortress."

"What about this palace now? Is anyone still living there?" Huang He asked curiously.

"Of course not!" The foreign affairs advisor shook his head. "As solid as this castle was for the enemy, it was just as painful for its own people."

"It is said that in the 17th century, to transport supplies to this castle by sea, at least 50 small boats commuted between the two nearby islands every day."

"And because the wind and waves here were too great, about 5 small boats capsized every day, and fishermen died every day. Therefore, the cost of transporting supplies to this castle was extremely high, and the Fereldreese chief had no political foundation in the country. He couldn't even force the nearby fishermen to work for him, and could only lure them with high salaries to transport supplies."

"The result was that the mountain-like gold coins brought by the Fereldreese chief were exhausted in just 10 years. In the end, after his enemies withdrew, the Fereldreese chief dismissed almost all the servants, living in this palace only with his family until his death."

"At that time, the Fereldreese chief's family was almost destitute, so the remaining family members chose to go ashore to make a living and sold the Fereldreese Palace to the king at that time. Therefore, the magnificent palace has always been in the hands of the king, but now, it is about to welcome a new owner, and it is also a super-rich man!" The foreign affairs advisor said with a smile.
