"Come out, the Business Alliance Deacon Council will come out"

"A little-known small chamber of commerce can also become an S-level chamber of commerce. Such an absurd thing has happened in the Business Alliance Deacon Council. If there is no reasonable explanation, this business alliance will not participate!"

In front of the headquarters of the Business Alliance, hundreds of heads of chambers of commerce who had been waiting for a whole morning suddenly became noisy when they saw the names on the list.

At this time, someone broke the news that the so-called Sunrise Chamber of Commerce was actually a small D-level chamber of commerce that had just been registered fifteen days ago. The registered capital was only 10,000 imperial golds, and the total number of people in the entire chamber of commerce was less than ten. And until now, there was no transaction record of this Sunrise Chamber of Commerce in the trade records of the Imperial Business Alliance. However, such a newly registered blank chamber of commerce was approved by a group of veteran deacons at the Deacon Council.

This insider information was like water falling into boiling oil, and it exploded directly!

Spier, one of the twelve deacons, appeared in front of the heads of many chambers of commerce at the right time with a tired face. He had a helpless smile on his face. "I'm sorry, today is the most shameful day since the establishment of the Business Alliance. I used to think that being a deacon of the Business Alliance was the honor of my life, but now, I am ashamed of it! This is also the reason why I proposed reform. I believe that if the deacons who made the decision today were not twelve people, but one hundred and twenty people, then the result would definitely not be like this!"

"Lord Spier, you are great!"

"Support Lord Spier and overthrow the Deacons!"

" Reform! Reform! "

The voices echoed in the crowd below. The appearance of Spear further confirmed the secret operation of the Deacon Council. Everyone believed that the representative of the new-style businessman had tried his best in the evaluation meeting that just ended, but still because of the huge disparity in strength, the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce passed this absurd evaluation. However, some chamber of commerce leaders who felt something was wrong looked at each other in surprise. The Deacon Council did go too far this time, but this Deacon Spear wanted to take this opportunity to make a big fuss. He also had bad intentions. He obviously wanted to take this opportunity to force the reform of the Deacon Council!

"I didn't expect that this Sunrise Chamber of Commerce would be on the list of S-level chambers of commerce!"

Tilnuris in the carriage covered her mouth with a round fan, her pretty face was stunned, and suddenly she laughed and looked at her brother opposite her. "But the situation looks very tricky. All the major chambers of commerce are very dissatisfied with this Sunrise merchant who suddenly appeared. Such obvious behind-the-scenes manipulation, do they think everyone is a fool? If it goes on like this, this commotion will soon turn into chaos. Shouldn't my brother let the government prepare early and mobilize the city guards to maintain order, at least not let the situation deteriorate to the point of no return. To be honest, I had some expectations, but now I have nothing at all. It is not impossible for our Lisbon Government to push a chamber of commerce to the position of S-level chamber of commerce by secret manipulation! And the way she eats will definitely not be so ugly! I can only say that this woman, Sokutusdalan, is really unworthy of her reputation! "

Tirnalant seemed to be prepared for the chaos in front of him. He raised his head and glanced at the sun in the sky, and said in a serious voice, "I don't believe that Sokutusdalan will not have a backup plan. This business person who was born as the thirteenth deacon of the Business Alliance The Queen of Commerce must know that once the list of recognized people is announced today, it will inevitably cause huge fluctuations. According to the usual style of this Queen of Commerce, she must take the most deterrent measures. But I am also very curious about what Sokutusidalan’s back-up plan is in the face of such public outrage. If it is really out of control, it will not be too late to intervene at that time! After all, this is an internal matter of the Business Alliance. There are already suspicions. If the government intervenes forcibly at this time, I am afraid it will be counterproductive. "Brother, are you too confident in this Sokutusidalan! I don’t think that except for the city guards, There are other ways to suppress this situation! "

Tilnuris pressed the round fan in her hand hard on the table with a look of disdain. Tilnuris has been in Lisbon for quite some time and has heard a lot about the deeds of this business queen. But deep down, Tilnuris doesn't think this woman is so powerful. She is just in the right place at the right time.

If she were in another position, she might not be worse than this woman. Facing this situation, what else can this woman think of besides asking the Lisbon government to control the situation? In the final analysis, if you have the ability, don't rely on the Lisbon government to settle this matter! "I don't know, but I always feel that it won't be that simple!" Tirnalant snorted solemnly and said in a deep voice, "There are some things you don't know, so you think so. You should know that it is not an ordinary person, but Sokutusdalan, the thirteenth deacon who used his own power to balance the entire Business Alliance Deacon Council, and the business queen who made hundreds of merchants in South Europe Baro go bankrupt overnight. If you say who is most familiar with the situation of the Business Alliance in the empire, it must be this woman."

"This time, in full view of the public, this woman used her influence to force the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce to pass the S-level assessment. It was definitely not just for the privileges of an S-level chamber of commerce. If I guessed correctly, it should be with In the past two years, the new businessmen have continued to grow and have begun to shake the foundation of the business alliance." Tiernarant paused, took a deep breath, and said with a deep look, "These new businessmen People think that they are being suppressed and always want to reform the Business Alliance and gain greater power. However, they have no idea that the founder of the Business Alliance is actually His Majesty the Emperor, and only twelve deacons are set up for the Business Alliance Deacon Council. , In fact, it is to facilitate the control of the entire business alliance. Without the emperor's permission, who dares to propose reforms to the business alliance! The more violent these new factions are, the worse they will die! "

At this moment, a carriage from the Lisbon Government Affairs Office stopped not far away. A subordinate of Tiernarant got off the carriage in a hurry and ran over with a report in his hand. "Sir, come out." event!"

"A big deal?" When Tiernarant heard these two words, he unconsciously felt a slight headache. When he came, he knew that it would not be so simple. He quickly took the report from his subordinates and glanced at it. , his body trembled, and he took a breath of cold air with dull eyes. It was amazing! Tilnarant felt that he was holding the hand of the report, as if he was holding a piece. Like a red-hot iron, no wonder Sokutus Stellan had no intention of taking action against the business alliance that was causing such a turmoil. It turned out that he had already taken action, and it was the final word. With this report, who dares to say that the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce Not qualified to be rated as an S-level chamber of commerce? "Brother, what's going on? What kind of storms and waves have I never seen before, and how can I be frightened by a report!" "

Tirnulis, who was on the opposite side, looked at her brother who had a sudden expression on her face, and took the report over with an amused and amused expression. She was still smiling, gently shaking the fan with one hand, and spreading the report in her hand with the other. , after seeing the content clearly, his smile froze, and the hand holding the fan suddenly stopped, bang, before he knew it, the fan slipped from his hand and fell to the ground." How is this possible! Although Castle Rock is not powerful, it is by no means weak! How could it be possible..." Tiernuris' pretty face was pale, with an expression of disbelief, if it wasn't for the report coming from Lisbon! If she asked the Government Affairs Office, she would throw this report into the trash can as soon as possible, because the content inside was completely impossible!

Just one day ago, two merchant ships from the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce appeared at the port of Fort Barolo in Central Europe and demanded that Castle immediately repay its debt of 1.5 million imperial gold. Naturally, they were met by the powerful Locke. Castle refused, and the Medici family in power at Castle Rock also issued an order to expel the merchant ships of the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce.

As for Castle Rock, Tiernuris has been in charge of the Lisbon government for more than half a year. She still knows about this economic and cultural center in the Barro region of Central Europe. Although the area is not large, the population is not less than that of a medium-sized country, and because Occupying a good port on the coastline, the financial resources are quite strong, with 30,000 regular employees. The army is definitely at the level of a small regional power. Facing such a strong regional force, a mere chamber of commerce has no ability to fight against it. Even if it is a business alliance, the other party may not be willing to give face, not to mention that 1.5 million imperial gold is not It's a small amount, and it's simply impossible to make Castle Rock spit it out willingly!

For debts owed by these regional forces, under normal circumstances, special personnel from the Business Alliance headquarters will go to negotiate. Even if the other party is determined not to pay back the money, the Business Alliance can only punish them through commercial means, or restrict the entry of goods. , or withdraw all business alliance merchants within its territory, causing the economy within its territory to suffer a blow

However, what the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce did was definitely a record. Facing the expulsion of Castle Rock, the two merchant ships of the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce transformed into warships. Several Imperial Thors opened fire on the spot in the port of Castle Rock. The port is on fire

The troops sent by the Medici family, the powerful family of Castle Rock, who were furious, had just arrived at the outskirts of the port, but were frightened by the sight in front of them and did not dare to go any further.

I saw that the sea was already occupied by densely packed large ships flying the flags of the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce. The golden sun was continuous, covering the sky with no end in sight, and the ships docked at the port came down from above in groups. The combat infantry wears armor that is no worse than that of the regular army. Their spears are like a forest, and they are radiating cold light.

On the sea surface of the port, there are fifty merchant ships lined up in a row, but on the large merchant ship of the Sunrise Merchant, which has gun cabins at both ends, it can be seen that the black Thor gun muzzle raised high is aimed at Fort Locke. Once these thunder gods are activated, the entire wealthy area, including the Medici family's mansion, will be a sea of ​​fire. "Are you here to start a war?" A Sunrise Chamber of Commerce staff member from the opposite side shouted towards this side.

"Sorry, I went the wrong way!" The Medici general turned around and left with his troops with a dark face.

After receiving the reward, Laprince, the head of the Medici family, was immediately frightened. He had no idea how he had stirred up a hornet's nest called the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce. Isn't it just a little-known Sunrise Chamber of Commerce? This has led to a situation like this. This Sunrise Chamber of Commerce is really too insidious. If you have such strength, you should show it early. If there is anything you can't talk about, you have to deliberately set up a trap to make yourself jump!

Moreover, a chamber of commerce actually has such a large number of thunder gods. Even if it is a fraud, it is still a trick! That Emperor, His Majesty, is indeed as shameless as the rumors say. He does not dare to openly send troops directly. Do you think he will not be recognized if he is covered in the skin of the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce? They all say that the emperor is a shameless guy, and today I learned a lesson. What kind of chamber of commerce is this? This is an invasion by an army under the guise of debt collection, right? Originally, I was lucky, thinking that the empire would not retaliate for what happened during the New Year's Eve. Unexpectedly, the empire's first blow fell on my head.

"Sir, a good man will not suffer the immediate loss. The opponent is obviously well prepared. Once the official attack begins, the entire Fort Rock will be destroyed!" "The opponent is just a chamber of commerce and will not really occupy Fort Locke. Even if It is a temporary compromise, and it will not cover up the glory of the Medici family." Several advisors of the Medici family said with ugly faces. These consultants were specially invited by the Medici family, because after all, the Medici family is not a royal family, and Castle Rock is not ruled by a royal power. The so-called consultants are actually the invited managers. The reason why these consultants are willing to stay in Castle Rock is very important. Most of it was seeing that Castle Rock, which was safe enough that even the Hungarians would not invade, was invaded today! Thinking of the various tragedies under the flames of war and the tragic scenes of the Hungarian Rebellion, the scalps of these consultants, who are composed of scholars from all over the world, are numb.

"Temporary compromise?"

Laprince walked back and forth in the conference hall, his face gloomy and unclear. Did he want Castle Rock to surrender without a fight? But yes, the other party is not a country, it is just a chamber of commerce, and this time it is just here to collect debts. Is it possible to really occupy Fort Locke? If the other party really does that, the entire Central European Barrow will come to kill it!

"The nominal surrender will not cause any loss to Fort Locke. I believe that as long as the money is obtained, the other party will leave the port!" said another consultant.

"Well, as long as the other party doesn't enter the city and leaves after getting the money, we, Castle Rock, can surrender in name!" Laprince made a decision and sent people to negotiate with the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce, who agreed not to enter the city. , and left after getting the money, Castle Rock announced his investment Surrender, but Castle Rock, which is hundreds of miles away, does not know what kind of uproar the news of its surrender to the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce will cause. "See, this is the gap, do you still have any dissatisfaction now!" Ernarante bends down and falls to the ground He picked up the fan and put it on the table. He looked at Tiernuris who looked ugly and sighed. "A chamber of commerce actually just showed its strength and forced the surrender of Fort Locke, which had tens of thousands of standing troops. Such a chamber of commerce If it’s not S-class, then who else is qualified? Becoming S-class! This alone is enough to shut up everyone outside the Business Alliance, not to mention that Sokutus Stellan will definitely take this opportunity to add fuel to the fire and push the new faction of the Business Alliance from Twelve Completely expelled from the Board of Deacons!”
