Game of Thrones: Overlord of the Deep Sea

Chapter 65 The Situation of the Seven Kingdoms

In the original book, when Daenerys negotiated with other city-states, it was mentioned that Meereen can export salt, copper, Giscari wine, olives, and olive oil.

But later the nobles thought that salt, copper, and wine were not profitable. The biggest reason was that coarse salt and wine could be produced in every city-state, let alone copper.

However, the fine salt produced according to Jack's method must be profitable. No matter where it is, the fineness of the salt determines the price of the salt.

As for soap, it is quite special. Soap not only needs to use plant ash water, but also needs animal fat.

The best raw materials are fish oil, mutton oil, and lard. Fish oil can be obtained from sea fish, but the amount of fat in fish is too low to obtain it efficiently.

The best way to obtain fat is lard and sheep oil, which are highly efficient, and more importantly, lard and sheep oil can be bought directly.

In Meereen, nobles and slave traders will buy large quantities of cattle and sheep raised by Raza people.

They will eat the fattest parts, and the remaining meat and fat will be sold to the free people.

As for the lowly slaves, they are only worthy to pick up the bones and swill they throw away.

But the words about pig and mutton need to be discussed in the long run, which also involves Jack's economic deployment.

After carefully reading the envelope in his hand, he found that all kinds of matters were clearly explained in it. Newgate only needed to follow the instructions above.

With a large number of high-level housekeeper slaves, Newgate no longer needs to do many things by himself, and the housekeeper slaves are enough to replace low-level officials.

In addition, Haiwang Island is not open to the outside world now, and the only way to contact the outside world is the Julang Chamber of Commerce.

Therefore, it is more convenient for confidentiality work, and Newgate can boldly appoint these newcomers.

Thinking of this, Newgate dug out another very thick book called "My World".

The above details how to carry out thought control and how to keep key technologies secret.

He has to study it carefully, and there must be no mistakes in the mission His Majesty entrusted to him.

This "My World" is a book written by Jack in his spare time based on his historical experience in his previous life.

He was afraid that over time, he would forget some valuable historical experience.

The content of this book includes astronomy and geography, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, politics, economics and so on.

In Jack's eyes, it was like an incomplete encyclopedia.

But in Newgate's eyes, this is a Bible, a divine book.

Falling into the hands of any ruler is enough to establish a huge empire.

The continent of Westeros.

The situation in the Seven Kingdoms is very chaotic now. Since the death of Ed Stark, there have been rumors about the truth about Robert's will and Joffrey Baratheon's life experience.

The final result is that the Stark family in the North declared independence and became the eldest son of the Stark family, the king of the North. Robb Stark led the army to the south, vowing to avenge his father.

And Robert Baratheon's two younger brothers also declared that Joffrey was illegitimate and ineligible to inherit the throne.

So the second child of the Baratheon family, Stannis Baratheon, became king on Dragonstone Island and wanted to fight for the throne.

The third child of the Deer family, that is, the third son of the Baratheon family, Renly Baratheon became king in the Stormlands, and he also won the support of various families in the Stormlands.

At the same time, Renly also married the Tyrell family in the Reach, and at one time had an army of [-], becoming the most powerful candidate for the Iron Throne.

In addition to the above three kings, there is Joffrey Baratheon who now occupies the Iron Throne.

But Joffrey is actually the seed of Cersei and his brother Jaime, and the blood of the Lion Lannister.

At the same time, Joffrey is also the nominal king of the Seven Kingdoms, but the throne has not yet been firmly established.

The last one to be king was House Greyjoy of the Iron Islands, calling the king Balon Greyjoy.

People jokingly called him King Balon.

The reason is that he had rebelled once more than ten years ago, when Baron, who was self-proclaimed king, felt that his family's Iron Fleet was invincible.

The Iron Islands have no land connected to the Seven Kingdoms, and the Iron Throne can't do anything to him.

As a result, he was severely beaten by Robert and the North, and his sons died in battle one after another. In the end, there was only one son left, who was also adopted by Ed Stark as his adopted son.

But Balon had another daughter, Yara Greyjoy, who was not inferior to the man.

Their sigil is a golden sea monster, so they are also known as the sea monster family.

In just one year, five kings appeared in Westeros one after another. Except for the King of the North and the King of the Iron Islands, the remaining three kings all claimed that they were the orthodox of the Iron Throne.

Unexpectedly, Renly Baratheon, who had the most troops and supplies, became the first king to die.

It is said that Renly Baratheon died of strange magic, but more people still believe that Renly was assassinated by people, not weird magic.

But no matter what the rumors are, it can't change the fact that Renly Baratheon's death and Stannis Baratheon won the allegiance of the Stormland vassals.

Before the War of the Five Kings officially started, it became the War of the Four Kings.

The Greyjoy family did not have the strength to go deep into combat because of their lack of land strength.

Therefore, the real protagonists of the War of the Five Kings are only three parties.

The northern army led by Robb Stark, with scattered equipment and even farmers with dung forks, totaled about 2 people.

The apparent population of the entire Northern Territory is only 80, and some hidden populations are about one million.

The [-]% rate of joining the army has already caused a lot of problems in the grain harvesting in the northern border.

Therefore, the northern border must complete its strategic goals as soon as possible, and then go home to collect food.

The second is the Western Territory Army that supports the Iron Throne. The gold mines in the Western Territory are extremely rich, so the Western Territory Army has excellent weapons and equipment, and there is no shortage of food and grass.

And the leader of the Lannister family in the west, Tywin Lannister, he is a very outstanding ruler.

Therefore, the army in the western region is different from the conscripts in other places. They have received orthodox training under Tywin's request, and their combat effectiveness is very strong.

Finally, there is Stannis Baratheon, now supported by the Stormlands.

Stormlands was originally the territory of the Baratheon family, so it wasn't rich, but it wasn't that bad either.

So Stannis Baratheon also has an army of 4000 men and a navy of 8000 pirates, for a total of [-] men on land and sea.

And Erlu Stannis has another advantage, that is, his super combat command ability, and his military talent is definitely the top group of people in Westeros.

It's a pity that he later met the little devil Tyrion Lannister.

In the Battle of the Blackwater River, the confident Stannis suffered a disastrous defeat at the hands of the dwarf Tyrion. In the end, he had to go north with thousands of remnants.
