Realm of Power

As He Ruile's words came out, the entire venue turned to the corner of the venue. Many businessmen's eyes were shining. They were so awesome. I didn't expect that the Imperial Bank was so powerful. They copied it without saying a word. The family of the Business Alliance is worthy of being the queen of the business world, Sokutus Stellan! The figure of 80 million made many wealthy businessmen who attended the meeting secretly squeal. Don't look at the fact that Lisbon is known as the capital of wealthy businessmen. Many wealthy businessmen claim to be as rich as the country, but the most wealthy among them only have a few million. Where? There is a wealthy businessman who truly has over 10 million, not to mention the astronomical figure of 80 million.

Moreover, the assets and financial resources owned by these wealthy businessmen are not all working capital. Most of them are in various industrial goods. The funds that can really be taken out in one go are worth more than one million. Otherwise, how could they be regarded as double-headed eagles? The business group's 10 million killed so many people, but the Imperial Bank offered 80 million. This means that as long as the Imperial Bank is willing, it can use its funds to crush anyone here at any time, even the behemoth of the Business Alliance. , the other party has nothing to fear,

"Asshole! This Imperial Bank is simply robbery!"

Tamara gritted her teeth, stood up angrily, looked at the two people from the Imperial Bank sitting in the corner with ferocious eyes, clenched her fingers into fists and slammed them on the conference table. This time she was really embarrassed. She was just trying to work hard. Suppressing this woman, who knew, in front of such Many business alliance deacons and heads of branches turned around and slapped each other hard in front of the entire empire's business elite. At this time, they didn't know that He Ruile was here to embarrass him. A business alliance leader who has weathered many storms,

If this situation cannot be saved, after the meeting, Tamara will become the biggest joke in the entire empire's business community. Tamara's appearance already looks ferocious, but now her veins are popping out. At this moment, it was more like a rattlesnake that had been stepped on, and he said angrily.

"I have never heard of this Imperial Bank, and I don't believe anyone can swallow 80 million Commerce Alliance gold tickets in one go! So the other party must have adopted some disgraceful means! I request to report it to the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs This matter! Until the Ministry of Internal Affairs responds to this matter, these two people must be detained at the Commercial Alliance Headquarters! "

"When did the Business Alliance have the power to detain an empire citizen? Tamara, are you sure you have such power?" Sokutus Stellan's beautiful mouth curled slightly, and there was a shuddering coldness in her tone. Note that the business alliance is just a business group and naturally cannot have such power.

The other Business Alliance deacons turned away with unnatural expressions. Tamara was ready to turn her back and deny her fault! It is understandable to report to the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs, but forcible detention is nothing. It is obvious that he wants to take this opportunity to control the two people of the Imperial Bank. As long as he can be detained, he will not get what he wants, let alone ask for it. Kutu Stellan is the former Thirteenth Steward, simply by virtue of that. It can be said that Tamara was a thief during Sokutus Stellan's tenure, and had strong ties both inside and outside the Imperial Bank, which is why the 80 million Business Alliance gold tickets were swallowed up. Everyone can see that Tamara is now almost like a mad dog who has been cornered. No matter what, Tamara will not let the two people from the Imperial Bank leave.

Tamara sneered and said, "The Business Alliance does not have such power. But that does not mean that no one has it!" Tamara left her seat and walked towards the VIP seats in the outer circle. Many people followed him. move. It fell on Laker, the leader of the Northwest Army Flag who just stood up to support Tamara.

As Tamara's strong supporter of the Northwest Legion, Laker frowned and sensed something was wrong at the venue. Didn't he already take the position of the Thirteenth Deacon? Why is it that everyone looks at Tamara as if they are looking at a fool?

"If you help me detain these two people, I will not treat you badly!"

Tamara humbly said something in his ear. When she heard that 80 million imperial gold tickets were involved, even a soldier like Laker, a boss with bulging eyes, 80 million, what a concept, The entire Northwest Army's annual military expenditure is only five to six million. Doesn't the other party have the entire Northwest Army's military expenditure for more than ten years in its hands? This Imperial Bank is too rich

Detain the person first, and at the worst, you can make a fortune. As for the name, it is too simple. He is the highest-ranking military attache of the empire in the Lisbonto area. If he intervenes in the name of the imperial garrison, he will seize this person at the annual meeting of the Business Alliance. Two enemy spies with ulterior motives were just a matter of words! Laker didn't believe that two unknown businessmen could stir up any trouble. As for the Imperial Bank, no matter how powerful it was, it was just a commercial organization. The previous weak performance of the business alliance made Laker presumptuously think that the Imperial Bank was the same. As long as the military exerts a little pressure, the other party will collapse!

"You guys go over there and detain them!" Leike ordered the officers around him with a gloomy face.

"Sir, under what name are you being detained?" An officer looked embarrassed. Laker could act unscrupulously because he had the background of Adjutant Crolisat behind him, but they were very ordinary. This is Lisbonto, the Southern Supervision Department of the Empire. The headquarters is located here. If someone brings this matter to light, the supervisory department will invite them to tea in a few minutes.

"The other party can't explain that the Imperial Bank swallowed 80 million in gold tickets from the Business Alliance. I have reason to believe that the other party is a spy infiltrated by the enemy, intending to hit Lisbonto's economy hard again! If the Supervision Department asks, just say it is Lord Crolissart's order! For the sake of the Northwest Army, as long as this is done, Lady Crolissart will not forget you!" Laker rolled his eyes and said it casually. He was in Lisbon after all. After staying in this commercial metropolis for more than a month, it is easy to find excuses.

"Yes, I understand!"

The officer nodded understandingly and stood up. They were soldiers, not to mention they were soldiers of the Northwest Army. In fact, when the Northwest Army entered southern Congo, Croissant issued a strict order not to allow the Northwest Army to interfere in local affairs and affairs. Business, but if you really want to be in an area with a strong business atmosphere like Lisbon, even if you want to stay out of it, you will always come into contact with it unconsciously.

As the southern commercial and trade center and the empire's sea trade center, Lisbonto has countless merchant fleets coming and going every day. As the garrison responsible for security, it is natural to see it, and the filial piety of the traveling caravans is inevitable. After all, they are caravans. If you really encounter robbers and robbers on the road, you still need the garrison to help. Even if you pay such filial piety, it is still a very large sum.

Croissant was born as a mountain hunter, and she is a very fond of petty gains.

The empire does not allow soldiers to do business, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that the empire's northern army and central army are. The Southwest Army and the Southern Army don't have their own fleets and caravans. They just changed their names and wore the brand of a private business group. Otherwise, how could so many trophies be exchanged for money? How to arrange the placement of so many war-damaged veterans, and where to obtain those abundant material reserves? There is no money, no supplies, and they have been beaten to death and maimed and have yet to be resettled. Who will work hard for the generals? The real battle is about who has more supplies and whoever has more bounties. The empire's generals are like a cloud, and there are many troops who exchange military achievements for rewards. It's useless not to be afraid of death, and there are some who are even less afraid of death!

I want to stand out from a large cluster. Without more weapons and sufficient military support, that is simply impossible, in this matter. As long as there is no problem, His Majesty Falcon will just turn a blind eye, and the Ministry of Supervision will not bother to ask, so after seeing the prosperity in southern Congo, Crolisate said it was a lie to say that he was not moved.

After staying in the Dorok Mountains in the empire for more than a year, I finally joined the Gallic war zone. Just after I got some money, Gaul was destroyed by the empire.

Although the northern Gaul region is famous for its fertility, it is a country that has experienced several years of brutal wars and lost millions of young people. The northern part of the country was also slaughtered by the Slavs and became a white field. One hundred thousand northwest troops are stationed in such an area. It would be nice to be able to guarantee food. The empire would conquer the north and the south and overthrow the Central European Barrow. , and the defeat of Fei Shan had nothing to do with the Northwest Army. This time it was finally an eye-opener. The emperor transferred the already hungry Northwest Army to the southern part of Gangfei. If he did not seize the opportunity to establish a financial source of his own, then the Northwest Army In a few years, the army will be completely thrown out of the way by the other main armies of the empire.

At this time, Dorok businessman Tamara approached the Northwest Army and was willing to assist the Northwest Army in forming a business group. The condition was that the Northwest Army would assist Tamara in winning the position of the Thirteenth Deacon of the Business Alliance.

From Croissant's point of view, she is just a deacon of the Business Alliance, not to mention that this Tamara is already a deacon of the Business Alliance. With her small push, in exchange for a way out for the Northwest Army, it will be a big deal no matter how she looks at it. It's a good deal, so this time Crolisate sent his confidant Lecker to attend this Business Alliance Deacons meeting.

But Croissant didn't expect that her confidant would be tempted by the 80 million Golden Tickets of the Business Alliance.

"The Imperial Bank is finished!"

Seeing several officers of the Northwest Army walking towards the Imperial Bank seats in the corner, all the people attending the meeting couldn't help but sigh inwardly. In order to prevent Tamara from becoming a laughing stock, the Northwest Army actually took action personally. No matter how strong the Imperial Bank was, how could it still be done? He was stronger than his military exploits, and there was once the number one in the empire. The Northwest Army of the Army, although in recent years, the Northwest Army has become worse than before, and many elite combat troops have been transferred to the Central Army and the Guards Army, but there is still a front-line combat corps that can conquer the world for the empire. How can a small chamber of commerce with a little bit of background be able to resist it!

Sure enough, they saw several officers walking to the Imperial Bank's seat. One officer said with a cold face, "You two stand up. In the name of Sheriff Lisbonto, I announce that from now on, you will be detained for espionage." . . . " Before the officer could finish his words, a colder voice interrupted him.

"Unalong, what did you just say? Say it again!"

The person who said this was a middle-aged man wearing black businessman's clothing. No one noticed him. The middle-aged man was sitting on a seat behind Sokutus Stellan. There was no specific name written on it. This kind of This situation is very common in the auditorium seats, which are not VIP seats. Most of the people sitting here are small and medium-sized businessmen. Most of them are not from Lisbonto's chamber of commerce, but from chambers of commerce in other parts of the empire. Therefore, they know very little about each other, so everyone also regards this person as wearing a black dress. of middle-aged people as a businessman in a chamber of commerce

The interrupted officer was stunned for a moment. Unalon was his name, and he was the Sheriff of Lisbonto.

In the imperial system, the Sheriff is under the dual jurisdiction of the military system and the local government system. In times of war, the Sheriff is responsible for assisting the military. In times of peace, the Sheriff is under the jurisdiction of the local government officer. As for being called by his first name, this person The officer's face was ashen as he looked over at the voice. A familiar face in front of him made him stunned.

"Lord Tyrnarant!" The officer's lips trembled slightly, and he quickly stood upright and saluted.

"As a political affairs officer in Lisbon, I didn't know that my own police officer was being arbitrarily driven by others. Is this a time of war? Or are you no longer part of the political affairs system in Lisbon?" The middle-aged man's slightly thin face revealed. There was a trace of anger, and although his voice was not loud, every word made the officer in front of him feel cold sweat.

"Go away, get out of here, this is not the place you should be!" Tillnarant snorted with an inflamed nose.

"Yes, I understand!" Sheriff Unalon was granted amnesty, and he turned around and left with his people. The Northwest Army and the Lisbon Political Affairs Officer came into conflict. If this matter spreads, I don't know how much trouble it will cause. If The person in front of him is just an ordinary regional political officer, and the Northwest Army can completely suppress him.

"What's going on?"

The entire venue was stunned. They saw the officer come to the Imperial Bank's seat. Before he could finish speaking, a middle-aged man scolded him and left. In just ten seconds, the situation once again made people stunned.

Some sharp-eyed people have already recognized this middle-aged man as none other than Lisbon’s political officer Tirnalante!

The dignified political officer of Lisbon was actually sitting on the edge there. No wonder no one noticed it. Seeing that it was Tiernarant himself, not to mention Tamara's face suddenly turned ugly, it was the menacing Northwest Army Flag Regiment. Chang Lekel also changed his expression. If it was other government affairs, Officer, as the representative of the Northwest Army, he has no pressure at all, but the person in front of him is Tiernarante, who has just been appointed as the political officer of Lisbonto. This new political officer himself is the most eye-catching of Lisbonto. The existence can even be said to be an existence that the entire South has to pay attention to.

Lisbonto was the only administrative officer appointed by the emperor himself in the entire empire.

He has long been regarded as an untouchable figure by the entire southern empire. Just from the time he entered Lisbonto, it was the moment when the emperor's most beloved princess, Tulit Colleen, the imperial minister of foreign affairs, sadly left Lisbonto. This new administrative officer was placed here by the emperor With one eye of Spento, it is said that this political officer can directly report to the emperor, and such power can be counted on five fingers among the thousands of civilian officials in the empire. Although the Northwest Army is strong, But he couldn't resist the report the other party delivered to the emperor.

"Bastard!" Laker's hand suddenly clenched, and his eyes were bloodshot. The appearance of Tiernalant had forced the Northwest Army to a dead end. At this moment, unless he took the identity of the Imperial Bank spy, he It must be true, otherwise Tiernarant’s report will set off a storm in the Northwest Army.

"Lord Tiernarant, although you are a local political officer, this is the scope of the military. These two people are enemy spies. I must take them away!" Lekel gritted his teeth, stood up, and said to A guard next to him said something, and the guard quickly turned and left.

"spy?"

Tillnarant's eyes were like daggers, as if cutting into people's hearts, and he smiled coldly, "Who is the spy you are talking about? Is it Miss Sokutus Stellan, or is it Plais, the former adjutant of the empire?" Sir! "It can't be a coincidence that he appears here. He reported the Northwest Army's interference in the Business Alliance first-hand. He secretly arranged for people to place the seats of the Imperial Bank here. It was also his handiwork. In terms of conspiracy and scheming, the head of the Tire family was definitely quite ruthless. He knew Sokutus Stellan. I also know Prais who is next to Sokutus Stellan, but Prais doesn’t know him.

"Wow!" As soon as Tiernarant finished speaking, everyone in the audience stood up. Everyone's eyes looked crazily and hotly at the seats of the Imperial Bank.

The former imperial minister and adjutant-general Plais, what a high-ranking and powerful figure he was, not to mention that he was already the minister of military affairs in the Ruidian era. During the Unification War of the Imperial Continent and the Northern War of Europa, this adjutant Chang Ke has been following the Falcon Emperor. He is a person who has truly reached the core of the empire's power. It is such a person who is now sitting in the Imperial Bank's seat! (To be continued.)
