There are actually very few people who know that there is gold on the New World.

Most of the naval soldiers who followed Mude and Blaze to the New World were illiterate people with little knowledge.

Most people have never seen what gold looks like. Some people may not even know what color gold is, but only know that gold is a very expensive thing.

Most of the naval soldiers didn't know that the things Mude and Blaze asked them to dig were precious gold.

Some people think they are digging copper.

Some people think they are digging iron.

There are also some people who don’t know what they are digging, they only know how to follow the commands of their superiors to mine, and they don’t care about what they are digging now.

Therefore, there are not many people who know that there is gold on the New World.

It is precisely because there are not many people who know that there is gold on the New World that it is much easier to block the news.

Jacob and others knew very well - in fact, it would be enough to block the information about gold on the New World.

As long as this news can be blocked, it doesn't matter whether people in the world know whether there is a new continent on the other side of the ocean.

After all, if it is unprofitable, even if other countries on the mainland know the existence of the New World, they will not be interested in this distant New World.

As long as other countries and organizations are not interested in the New World, the Britannian Empire can monopolize the New World and all the gold in the New World.

Judging from the current situation, the news blockade of the Britannian Empire was quite successful.

People only know that there is a new world, but not that there is gold on it.

There are not many people who know there is gold on the New World so far.

After transporting the gold dug from Mude and others from the New World to the underground warehouse in Pandragon, Ilsa immediately sent someone to refine the gold.

The first batch of gold extracted was transported to the west as soon as possible to trade with the best gold trading partner, the Rennes family.

The Britannian Empire is now in a state of war with the Holy Hillan Empire, so it is naturally impossible to trade with the Holy Hillan Empire.

Not to mention the Frank Empire.

Those small countries also do not have the ability to trade such large amounts of gold.

The only countries or organizations that can trade such a large amount of gold are the Rolling Empire in the south and the Rennes family.

Because Pandragorn is closer to Dorrond, the base of the Rennes family, the Rennes family is currently the best gold trading partner.

Ilsa intends to use the first batch of refined gold to exchange some iron and horses with the Rennes family.

The empire and the Holy Sheeran Empire in the north fought two large-scale battles in a row, and some iron and horses were urgently needed to restore military strength.

Kong Nan, the current head of the Rennes family, always thought that these golds were the inventory of the central government of the Britannian Empire for many years. Little did they know that the gold used to trade with their Rennes family were all "fresh" gold dug from the New World.

These days, Ilsa would come to this underground warehouse from time to time to take a look at the mountain of gold ore.

If all the gold in this pile of gold ore is extracted, I don’t know how many good things can be exchanged from the Rennes family and the Rolling Empire.

Looking at the pile of gold ores, Ilsa suddenly sighed.

"I really want to use this pile of gold to build an ocean-going fleet and strengthen the combat power of the navy... I wish there was more gold..."

After saying that, Ilsa turned her head and asked Jacob beside her:

"Mr. Jacob, are we really unable to build an ocean fleet right now?"

"No." Jacob smiled bitterly, "Building an ocean fleet that can travel between two continents is very expensive. We still have many places to spend money now, and we don't have the extra financial resources to form an ocean fleet."

After hearing Jacob's words, Ilsa sighed again:

"Forget it... Since there is no way to form an ocean fleet immediately, then take it slowly. Anyway, the New World will not run away by itself."

After confirming that there was another large amount of gold on the other side of the ocean, the first reaction of the people led by Ilsa was to form an ocean fleet that could travel steadily between the two new continents, and specifically transport gold from the new continent.

However, their idea was beautiful, but the reality was cruel - they did not have any extra money to form an ocean fleet.

If you want to travel steadily between two continents, the ships you need will naturally be that kind of big ship.

The money it takes to form such a fleet consisting of large ships is naturally extremely amazing.

Moreover, having a boat alone is not enough, and there must be enough sailors. The training of sailors will cost a lot of money and time.

Although Ilsa really wanted to form an ocean fleet that could travel steadily between the two continents, the national treasury that could no longer squeeze out the extra money made her forced her to temporarily put down her plan to form an ocean fleet, and at the same time, the plan to mine gold in the New World was temporarily shelved.

Compared with the formation of the ocean fleet, the top priority is to restore the Knights' combat power that has experienced the two battles of "Overlord Counterattack" and "Aurora" offensive, as well as the recovery and strengthening of the navy that has experienced that sea storm.

Especially strengthening the navy's combat power - this is the top priority.

In last year's "Overbial Counterattack", Su Cheng showed the world the new usage of the navy and the destructive power of coordinated combat between the navy and the army.

Before last year's "Overlord Counterattack" occurred, no one expected that the Navy could still use it like this.

After seeing this new usage of the navy, except for the now tyrant Luolin Empire, which is now in power, may not pay attention to it, the rest of the countries will definitely strengthen the navy's combat effectiveness and consolidate their maritime defense.

The Britannian Empire naturally would not lag behind others. Since the end of the "Overlord Counterattack", the central government has held many meetings to discuss the navy's strengthening plan.

According to the draft of the Navy Strengthening Plan currently formulated by the Britannian Empire, they intend to gradually expand the total navy's military strength to 50,000 people and invest a large amount of money to develop new warships.

Compared with strengthening the naval combat power, forming an ocean-going fleet has become a trivial matter that can be delayed.

After all, the New World can go to the New World at any time, but if there is no powerful navy to protect the sea front, they may never be able to go to the New World again.

After retracting his eyes from the mountains of gold ore in front of him, Ilsa turned around and walked towards the exit of the underground warehouse.

Jacob also hurriedly followed Ilsa and walked slowly towards the exit of the underground warehouse with Ilsa.

Just as he was about to arrive at the exit, Ilsa suddenly asked Jacob behind him:

"Mr. Jacob, how are the preparations for the ritual vessels in the ceremony?"

As soon as Ilsa finished speaking, Jacob replied quickly:

"It went very smoothly. We can definitely make preparations for the reward ceremony before the heroes come back."
