opened his eyes.
Out the window is the clear blue sky.
Makoto Jiang got up from the bed, pushed open the transparent French window, and came to the outside of the villa.
Looking from here, you can see an endless sea with distinct layers, from blue to green, beautiful and dreamy.
23 degrees 26 minutes north latitude, 126 degrees 48 minutes east longitude.
Emerald Island.
is located in the Western Pacific, between the three major military bases of Yamato Country’s Hachimiya Island, the Philippines’ Subic Bay, and the United States of America’s Tarot Island. It guards China’s East China Sea and the Pacific Ocean’s maritime traffic hubs. It is the route from East Asia to South America and North America. , Russia and Australia must pass the important international waterways, and the geographical position is extremely important.
Walking along, Jiang Cheng walked to the beach.
Looking around, I saw a natural coral reef blocking the wind and waves in the open sea, forming thousands of meters of white sandy beaches, colorful swimming fish swimming down the crystal clear water, and the island’s palm trees, beaches, The sea water constitutes a beautiful picture.
“Ah…”
Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Jiang Cheng sighed heavily and frowned.
He is not a tourist here.
In fact, this is his private island.
That’s right!
This island with both tropical style and strategic significance is Jiang Cheng’s private domain. It does not belong to any country and has complete territorial sovereignty!
Is this possible?
Of course!
Because this is no longer the earth, but a parallel world—Blue Star.
Blue Star is roughly the same as the Earth in terms of humanities and customs, but slightly deviated in terms of geographical features and historical progress.
This is also an oceanic world, occupying 70% of the planet’s area, but the volume is much larger than that of the Earth, which is equivalent to Jupiter, more than 1,300 times that of the Earth, and has a group of star-like islands that the Earth can’t match.
It can be said that Blue Star is the world of the ocean, but also the world of the islands!
Maybe it is such a vast geography that has deflected the historical process that should have been.
The starting point of the deflection was the great geographical discoveries from the 15th to the 17th century, known as the “Era of Great Navigation.”
In the 15th century, some developed countries in Europe carried out a series of ocean exploration activities to find new trade routes, which greatly expanded the scope of the known world.
The opening of new routes has made world trade unprecedentedly prosperous, and Europe, with its rapid development during this period, has laid the foundation for surpassing Asian prosperity.
The influence of the Great Geographical Discovery is contradictory. It brought prosperity to the world, but it also brought plunder and destruction to the indigenous people!
From this perspective, the Great Geographical Discovery is a shameful history of aggression!
Africa, America, Australia, Asia, Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean almost all islands have all become colonies of major empires.
These are all history that has already happened on earth and can never be rewritten.
In Bluestar, the situation is slightly different.
On the Blue Star, the great geographical discovery also began in the 15th century, initiated by the European maritime power Portugal.
However, due to the vaster oceans of the Blue Star, the process of geographic discovery has been greatly slowed down, and it has continued to this day.
In other words, in the great nautical era that the earth should have ended in the 17th century, the Blue Star lasted until the 21st century.
Against this background, the world is destined to be insecure.
Those islands that are strategically important as important maritime points will inevitably become the center of gravity of competition among nations.
Emerald Island is just such an island.
It has three sides: the Philippines, Japan, and the United States on the south, north, and east. It can be described as a pack of wolves waiting for it. It’s no wonder that Jiang Cheng can’t sleep at night.
It is reasonable to say that he was just in his youth, he should be accompanied by beautiful women, and every night is the right way to sing songs, but in reality he made a big joke with him!
Jiang Cheng is not a Blue Star man, but a newcomer on the planet. After he became rich overnight, before he had time to be happy and happy, he pierced the Blue Star due to the HNA accident and became a rich kid. He inherited the island in a daze.
It’s not easy to talk about his current identity!
The only grandson of Jiang Zhenyong, the richest man of Chinese descent in the Philippines and a well-known industrialist, is also the only heir to the Jiang family.
As a successful businessman, Jiang Zhenyong has a very strategic vision. As early as several decades ago, when everyone did not realize the value of Emerald Island, he bought Emerald Island at a sky-high price.
With the passage of time, the value of Emerald Island began to appear, and it caused empires such as Yamato and America to covet it.
According to the latest assessment, the value of Emerald Island has exceeded the wealth currently owned by the Jiang family.
Start an island!
This is the dream of countless travellers, but for Jiang Cheng, it is hell-level difficulty!
Use one person to fight against the major forces. Only fools can do this, right?
It is of course impossible to change to the original owner of this body, but Jiang Cheng now wants to try this **** difficult start.
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng took out his phone and clicked on an application icon on the interface.
”drop…”
”Island Tycoon system is loading…”
Along with the sound, a dense matrix of light spots appeared in Jiang Cheng’s sight, and quickly outlined a three-dimensional operation interface.
”The wise master of the island, welcome to the island tycoon system!”
Ignoring the mechanical beep, Jiang Cheng looked at the top of the interface, where was the property panel of the system.
[Island owner]: Jiang Cheng

[Money]: US$10 billion (the system gives start-up capital~IndoMTL.com~limited development island use)
[Number of islands under its jurisdiction]: 1 (Emerald Island)
[Territory area under jurisdiction]: 3620 square kilometers
[Subordinate territorial sea area]: 41,500 square kilometers
Currently, Jiang Cheng has only one Emerald Island under his name, and he controls the territorial waters with an area of more than 40,000 square kilometers centered on Emerald Island.
He clicked on an island-like icon in the upper right corner. After turning his eyes, a holographic projection of Emerald Island and nearby territorial waters appeared in front of him.
This is a rare and tropical island full of greenery, just like a piece of emerald on the blue sea.
Most of the islands are in an undeveloped state, retaining the most primitive natural features. Only at the western end of the island, there is a lonely building.
This is the sea view villa given to him by the system when Jiang Cheng first arrived here for him to live in.
Above the holographic projection of , some relevant information about Emerald Island is displayed.

”Nima…how did it rise again!”
I skipped the basic information of Emerald Island. After Jiang Cheng’s eyes fell on the valuation column, his face suddenly became dark, and he couldn’t help but burst into a swear word.
