Power and Empire Chapter 2179: Mainland Public Enemy (7)

Kellogg Port, the dark sea surface at night was dyed red by the blazing fire from the direction of the port. The chaotic sound of the port was raised. The ships docked in the port set up anchors and parked at the wharf in order to avoid the fire. A large number of goods on the site were burned by the fire because they could not be transported away,

"This is?" Governor Bashinla, who showed a few disdain for the embarrassing sneak attack on the Ali Chamber of Commerce just now, was looking into the distance with a stunned face, his pupils shrunk a bit

"My lord, the port is on fire" a servant ran in panickedly

"I can see it!" Governor Bashinla asked with a green face, "What the **** was going on? Didn't it mean that the Ali Chamber of Commerce failed the ambush? Why is the port burning up now!",

"Small is not very clear," the servant said with an ugly face. "The fire started suddenly, and it was not late at night. There were still many pedestrians on the streets of the port, but in this case, the number is unknown. The masked man rushed into the port on horseback, holding a torch in his hand, and threw the easily flammable oil bag to the pier, the houses on both sides of the street, the tavern, and even the few low-level brothels in the port at that time. The fire that engulfed the entire port broke out in this way. There is little suspicion. This should be the move of the Ali Chamber of Commerce. It should be understandable that the attack was changed to a strong attack after the failure of the attack."

"If the sneak attack fails, take a strong attack? If the Baibao Lansu of the Ali Chamber of Commerce had such an ability, it would not have been squeezed out of the port at the beginning!"

Basinla's face turned gloomy and the corners of his mouth curled. He still knows what kind of person Bai Bao Lan Su is. He thinks that Ba Bao Lan Su, who has just become the head of the Kailuo Port branch, has various performances and abilities. general. I was almost squeezed out of the port by Kubel, one of the three major chambers of commerce. It was Bai Baolansu who came to the Governor’s Mansion crying and screaming, saying that he paid 10% more for the annual tribute, which seemed to be regarded as a diligent guy. And it's more obedient. Governor Bashinla stepped forward to stop the aggressiveness of the Kubel Chamber of Commerce. He also told the Ali Chamber of Commerce several times that as long as Bai Bao Lan Su is in charge of the branch, the Governor's Mansion will try its best to help, and Ba Bao Lan Su can gain a foothold in Kailuo Port.

"My lord means that the Ali Chamber of Commerce is being used by others to become a stepping stone for other chambers of commerce?" The confidant servant was also clever. I reacted quickly,

"It should be so, otherwise, this fire would be a coincidence!" Who is Baxinla, who has been in the empire's largest foreign trade port for fifteen years. There are too many businessmen’s intrigue methods. This time the emperor issued a huge order and made it clear that this order will only fall into one family, and not all three can get involved. In this case, both can be hit. The Falcon Empire Chamber of Commerce can step on the Ali Chamber of Commerce fiercely, even if it is oneself. I will do it without hesitation

"Behind the fire, stood the figures of the three major chambers of Eero, while the Ali Chamber of Commerce ambushed the leader of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce. Taking such a harsh action against the port where the Falcon Imperial Chamber of Commerce is located will not only be able to obtain The eye-catching effect, and it also severely contrasts the incompetence of the Ali Chamber of Commerce, which kills two birds with one stone."

Basinra's voice paused, his angry eyes focused on a burning house in the distant port, and he said in a condensed voice, "If I'm not mistaken. It should be the handwriting of the young owner of the Solomon Chamber of Commerce. , It was a bit strange at first in such a tense atmosphere. Why did this young business owner get involved in dangerous situations

"It now appears that this young chamber of commerce has the intention to stand out in one fell swoop. The Solomon Chamber of Commerce has been in charge of the imperial chamber of commerce for hundreds of years. Means, aren’t you afraid of the Falcon Empire Chamber of Commerce’s revenge?" Baxinla looked at the fire from the port’s red half of the sky, and his face was dark and bright. The governor of fifteen years has never seen anything before, the Chamber of Commerce. The struggle between the two countries, especially the competition between large chambers of commerce, is in no way inferior to a real battle between the two countries. The merchants are chasing profits. Even if one party wins, it does not mean that the other party does not have the ability to pull together to die, so even if it is a victory One side will also be cautious not to touch the other side’s bottom line

And this fire undoubtedly burned the bottom line of the Falcon Empire Chamber of Commerce. The loss of goods is inevitable. More importantly, it also caused personnel casualties, ambushes, and fire prevention. This is to kill all. Absolutely? The question is, there are tens of thousands of Falcon Empire merchants and sailors in Kailuo Port. Have you finished killing? The water is too muddy, and it may even turn into a storm. If even the Governor’s Mansion is involved, then this civil chamber of commerce struggle will become official. At that time, the naval warships of the Falcon Empire really had an excuse. Shelled Port Kailo

"Order Chengwei to withdraw from the port and the area of ​​the three major chambers of commerce starting tomorrow!"

Governor Baseinra ordered his servants, and it was obvious that he hated the people who set fire to the port tonight. The largest foreign trade port in the empire, Basenra put in countless efforts. There are also the port’s complete facilities and hundreds of docks, as well as the huge economic circle formed around the port. This time it was filled in this sea of ​​flames. It was also a loss of millions of gold coins. These guys burned on fire. Now, Baxinla is responsible for wiping his butt, how is it possible, aren’t you great? Well, let's face the revenge of the Falcon Empire Chamber of Commerce. For this kind of thing, the Governor's Mansion is an improper substitute for the dead ghost! It can be seen that Governor Bashinla has hated to his bones

The sky dyed by fire is as gorgeous as the sunset. The banquet has automatically stopped at this time. Even if the tune in the hall is so melodious and beautiful, everyone is curious about the fire at this moment and the noise from the street. I walked to the balcony and looked at the direction of the fire. The seaport in early winter was originally the place where the wind and waves were strong. The flame could not be suppressed by the wind. It was like a huge fire snake swallowing from the east and west ends to the middle. Engulfed by small buildings,

"It's a big fire, I'm afraid the whole port is burning." Someone exclaimed,

"This time I am afraid that some people will cry." Some people's voices were obviously gloating, and some people were a little pale. The fire was in the direction of the port. Who doesn't know the Falcon Empire Chamber of Commerce Where are most of the goods, such a big fire, I am afraid that the entire port will not be spared, and some ports have industrial nobles. I couldn't help but raised my heart. With the influx of the Falcon Empire Merchant Fleet, the current port is a prosperous inch of gold. If such a fire burns down, it is at least a loss of tens of thousands of gold coins. Soon someone bid farewell to the Governor's Mansion and rushed over to see the situation eagerly.

On the periphery of the port, the number carriage is parked there

The heads of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce who had just defeated the ambush of the Ali Chamber of Commerce at this time looked at the port engulfed by the fire with bloodshot eyes. Fingers clenched tightly into fists, an ambush will not result in arson! The other party's behavior is no longer a competition between chambers of commerce, but a provocative book of life and death!

"This thing will never end like this!"

Akefusu, the head of the Kailuo Port Business Alliance, vowed to report to the Business Alliance’s Ministry of Maritime Trade in the southern part of Congo as soon as possible. In the report, he attached the testimony of many witnesses at the time. Although there is no clear evidence, the arrow points to the three chambers of commerce in the Eero Empire.

Because on the second day after the fire was extinguished, with the heavy losses of the Falcon Empire Chamber of Commerce, the three major chambers of the Eero Empire began to dump their goods, occupying market shares, and taking high prices from the nobles who owned the port industry. The purchase price of a shop that has been burnt down is the same as when it was in good condition. The loss of the local nobles in this fire is almost negligible, and the strong call for the Governor's Mansion to intervene in the investigation has disappeared, and the Governor's Mansion is rarely silent in this matter. Let the Port of Kailo, which has just experienced a fire, be shrouded in a strange atmosphere. Now the entire Port of Kailo is watching what the merchants of the Falcon Empire will do!

The report of the Kailuo Port fire was delivered to the Ministry of Trade of the Commercial Alliance on the fifth day. With the development of the Empire Sea Trade, the Ministry of Trade of the Commercial Alliance has ranked first among all departments of the Commercial Alliance. The spacious and bright Sea Trade Department building has four floors and is constructed of marble. Clerks hurrying with documents and businessmen holding bills of lading of various cargoes in their hands. Is the most common in this building

Holding the report of the Kailuo Port fire, a senior lieutenant of the Ministry of Maritime Trade walked into an office at the top of the Ministry of Maritime Trade, and the sun was shining through the stained glass. This office has a large space. But there are not many facilities, a large desk and a long cabinet for stacking various materials, and some antique white statues with personal hobbies,

He Ruile, the head of the Ministry of Maritime Trade, is placing a signed document on the right side of the table. This is his habit. If it is not signed, put it on the left, and if it is signed, put it on the right. Even if his hometown is not there, his deputy will also Will not take away unsigned documents, especially some documents that involve trade secrets. If they are released, it will be an earthquake. For example, the one he just signed was sent by the Imperial Admiralty.

The content is that a large number of new officers of the Imperial Navy will arrive in the south of Congo. According to the practice of the Navy Department, some officers will come to the business alliance to study, because the Imperial waters are too vast, even for naval officers. It is impossible to take a trip to every area. To understand the various environments and weather in these unfamiliar seas, the commercial alliance has the most comprehensive collection. Even many maps of the Imperial Navy are from the commercial alliance sea trade. The Ministry learns from the past, so it is not uncommon in the navy to let officers learn from the business alliance, and it is recognized that this is the best way to understand the empire’s waters in the shortest time

Only this time, the number is really large, 527 people! Is this sending one-half of the imperial admiralty?

"Warrick, what's the matter?"

Horelle, who was feeling a bit distressed, saw the adjutant who walked in. The solemnity of the adjutant’s face suddenly raised an ominous premonition in his heart, "It’s not a report from the South," Horelle said to himself. Linguistically speaking, the south he refers to is the area south of the Inner Sea. Recently, the area south of the Inner Sea has become tense. Fei Ze, the Erot Empire and other areas have shown obvious actions to reject and slander the imperial merchants. This makes Herrel, who is in charge of the Ministry of Maritime Trade a headache. Although the business alliance is powerful, it controls less than 100,000 businessmen but also 50,000 to 60,000.

But the security of the business alliance itself is dependent on the powerful force of the Falcon Empire, just like the southern part of the Inland Sea, which is the fringe area of ​​the imperial force deterrence~IndoMTL.com~ Provocation, the business alliance can't do anything about it. At best, it will engage in a trade embargo or something. It doesn't hurt your muscles or your bones. Who cares about you!

"My lord, this is just received!" Adjutant Warrick handed over the report in his hand.

"This... is it true?" Horelle took a look and jumped up from his seat. Kailo, the largest foreign trade port of the Eero Empire, was set on fire, and countless goods were burned, causing 187 casualties to the Empire’s sailors. People, where can Horele sit still? You must know that the ocean-going merchant fleet of the Horé family is now in the port of Kailo

"My lord. If you can, can you contact the Imperial Navy? Adjutant Warrick, who has always been gentle with others, also has a chill on his face at this time.

"Imperial Navy... I'm afraid it's hard." Horelle smiled bitterly, the port burned, people died, and more merchants and sailors were waiting for the business alliance's reply. If you still bear it, then It's really chilling everyone's heart, but where is the imperial navy that the commercial alliance can instigate?

"My lord, why don't you ask that one at this time?" Adjutant Warrick hesitated and said boldly
