Power and Empire Chapter 2552: Imperial Wind (27)

Lisboa, snow flakes fell on the roofs on both sides of the street, causing a rushing sound

The thick snow fell on Lorirule Street like a white blanket. A luxuriously decorated carriage slowly stopped in front of the steps of the headquarters of the Toto Business Alliance in Lisbon, and two servants came from Jumped down from the back of the carriage, one of the servants skillfully and respectfully opened the door of the carriage, and the other laid the red carpet under the door. Ten seconds later, a middle-aged man with chestnut hair in a brown dress opened his door. Inside the carriage door steadily came down, his sharp eyes fell on the door of the business alliance headquarters, two faintly curved eyebrows raised slightly,

At the end of the steps, he saw the figure of the middle-level member of the business alliance who was sent to Horelle by himself. From the excited sparkling eyes of the opponent, he knew that the matter was successful, Horelle Has entered a well-designed trap! Just walk in to Ken. Now Socutus Delan is in a situation where everyone is screaming at the top of the business alliance. Horelle does not know that he immediately leaves, and it is worthy of being calculated! For the sake of being a business partner back then, he has no idea of ​​putting Horelle to death, but the power of the ocean trade deacon swallowed by Horelle must be spit out.

He is the newly recruited Deacon of the Business Alliance who was added in July, his name is Baker Gaso, and he was born in Baker, a member of the former Swadian royal family.

After the Falcon dynasty annexed the Swadian Kingdom, the Baker family was one of the few Swadian nobles who decisively invested all their family businesses in business, and also received from the Swadian Kingdom. The strong support of the Erdian royal family. Although the royal family has declined, the influence of Princess Swadian as the imperial princess is still enough to make the Baker family flourish in the business world

The Baker family coat of arms is a red shield flame flower, so Baker Gaso’s merchant group is also called the "Fire Trading Group" by the imperial business community. This mainly means that Baker Gaso’s business is supported by some people. He has swallowed the record of the interests of his collaborators many times. This time he became one of the twelve deacons of the business alliance from the head of the Swadian regional branch. The thirteenth deacon who was vacant by the abolition of Socutus Delan also reflects the strongness that the Swadian people have been used to in the mainland for hundreds of years.

"How's it going?" Going up the steps, he whispered to the middle-level person

"Horelle not only drove me out, but he was also obviously full of dissatisfaction with the whole deacon. I believe he will still speak for Socutus Delan at the meeting!" The middle-level chuckling whispered. Answered that

"Are you sure he would be like this?" Even though he got the answer he wanted in his heart, Baker Gaso asked again. If anyone else hears it, he knows that this new deacon is not as arrogant as he looks outside. It’s actually a very courageous person in his bones,

"I can be sure of this!"

The middle-level person followed him, walked into an office in the headquarters, closed the door of the office, his face was a little bit puzzled, he hesitated and asked, "It's just that I don't know, the adult just entered The deacon’s meeting directly confronted Horelle. Is it too reckless? A Socutus Delan who has lost power can definitely wait for the adults to stand firm and put it forward. I believe it will be more secure than it is now. As for Horui Le, after Socutus Delan is gone, he is already the number one person in the deacon of the business alliance. With our strength, I am afraid that we will suffer a loss."

"Hehe, don’t worry about this!" Baker Gaso went to the wine cabinet in the office, poured two glasses of wine in person, handed one of them to the middle-level person, and said, "I got the news. If you leave the business alliance soon, you may become the first governor of the outer port area of ​​the empire, so we don’t need to worry about Horelle’s problem at all.

"On the contrary, it is the brief power vacuum formed by the business alliance because that woman left. It is like a plump cake placed in front of all the deacons. As far as I know, the other deacons are wooing their respective forces and preparing for the meeting. Shot, we as a new deacon, what do you think will fall into our hands?" Baker Gaso's voice paused, he curled his lips noncommittal, his gaze drifted into the distance, and asked in a condensed voice.

"So that’s the case. I’m surprised. Several deacons are all showing interest in the position of the thirteenth deacon, but they are shouting to abolish the thirteenth deacon. The moment to launch a full blow!" The middle-level personnel's face showed a touch of sorrow,

The annual meeting of the business alliance is about to be held. All business alliance deacons and heads of all branches will gather in a conference room. The issue of the abolition of the thirteenth deacon has already been heated up, because the thirteenth deacon This position is too sensitive. In the era of Socutus Delan, even a high-powered business alliance deacon in front of this woman said that he would be taken down. The power of the thirteenth deacon was superior to other deacons. The final ruling power on the board, any resolution without the consent of the thirteenth deacon is waste paper, whoever gets on the thirteenth deacon is equivalent to mastering the entire business alliance, such a position, who will not covet, but it is just like Baker As Gaso said, they are just new deacons, and the support they can get is completely incomparable to those old deacons. If they really compete with all their strength, I'm afraid they won't even be able to touch the sides. It's better to muddy the water and fish in troubled waters!

"The old guys in Tamara, the saliva that coveted the position of the thirteen deacon, is almost on the ground. If we want to take it, those old guys will definitely not agree, so I let you go. Find Horelle"

"In the business alliance deacon, in terms of qualifications and strength, who is better than Horelles, as long as Horelles resolutely expresses their unwillingness to abolish the thirteenth deacon, other deacons will inevitably think Horelles want to be the thirteenth. Deacon, they will be willing to stand on our side and push us out against Horelle!"

Beckassau took a deep breath and drank the wine in his hand, with a touch of self-deprecating at the corners of his mouth

"When everyone supports us to abolish the thirteenth deacon, Horelle will definitely come up with a clause that cannot be abolished as long as one deacon opposes. Naturally, they cannot be abolished. One, he didn’t want to offend Herrel, but she didn’t want Herrel to become the thirteenth deacon. In addition to pushing me, a newcomer who didn’t know the sky and earth, is there any other way? Anyway, I am a newcomer with no strength. What if you become the thirteenth deacon? Do you really dare to do something with their old deacons?"

"Hehe" There was a cold expression at the corner of Baker Gaso's mouth, haha ​​smile" As long as I stand firm on the heels of the thirteenth deacon and get the final judgment, it may be difficult to move the old deacons immediately, but wait until we are People from all over the world will be placed in each branch, and it will not be easy at that time. In a few years, the business alliance will be mine!",

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In the Port of Lisbon, a merchant ship docked in the port. Soon, a middle-aged man with a majestic face appeared in the port crowd. A black carriage was already waiting at the exit of the port. He saw the middle-aged man. A young man in a black uniform took the initiative to step up and respectfully said, "Master Praias, the carriage has been waiting for you for four hours."

"The word adult, no one has called it that way for a long time. You belong to the Imperial Bank?"

The middle-aged man’s gaze paused on the young man. He was wearing this very ordinary academic uniform. He had a slightly thin face. In the past two years, he looked even more grim. It was just the sharp gaze in previous years. It has become dull and incomprehensible, but occasionally, it still reveals the chills of the iron horse soldier that year. This time he was ordered to transfer to which imperial bank.

"My lord, please come with me!" The young man said to him. The middle-aged man frowned slightly. He felt a breath from the young man. It was the breath of a soldier. Could it be someone from the military? ? Unlike other people who heard about the military’s discoloration, the middle-aged man knew too much about the Empire’s military, and could even be said to know better than ordinary generals. Naturally, he would not be afraid of the military. He was just curious, which surprised him. , He is not in economics, he was with the fat guy at the beginning, and he never showed his talent in business, so he didn’t know what to say about this appointment.

He is Prais, one of the former empire’s most important ministers, the adjutant, who controls the military and political power of the empire, and made great contributions to the expansion of the empire.

Because of a certain incident a year ago, in order to make His Majesty Falcon give up the investigation of the Swadian faction, he voluntarily asked to resign as the deputy governor and enter a school for the training of administrative officials in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Empire as the principal. Many Everyone thinks that Prais has lost the trust of the emperor, but in fact, at the top of the empire, everyone knows that the emperor’s trust in Prais has never diminished. The empire has established the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Ministry of Finance. The Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Military Industry, only one of the most important positions has not been established, that is, the Prime Minister of the Empire. This position above all the departments of the Empire is undoubtedly reserved for Plais.

"Get in the car, the weather is so cold, but I waited for you for four hours! You won't let me miss lunch again, right"

A very familiar voice came from inside the carriage. Hearing this voice, Prays's body trembled slightly, and his hesitant expression swept away. That's it. . . . He got into the carriage, closed the door carefully, then raised his head and glanced at the person sitting opposite

"Your Majesty is here for the business alliance deacon meeting?"

"What do you think?"

"Miss Delan is here too?"

Prays's face changed, and he suddenly asked, he knew too much about his lord’s character. Socutus Delan’s initiative to resign the thirteenth deacon of the business alliance is not news. It stands to reason. , The business alliance will continue to retain the thirteenth deacon or abolish the thirteenth deacon, the fat man will not care, but if someone covets the position of the thirteenth deacon and tramples on the reputation of Socutus, that’s It’s another matter. If you want to talk about playing with people, who would dare to compare with the fat guy in front of him, not to mention that this is still in his own one-acre three-quarter courtyard,

The fat man rolled his eyes lazily, his deputy, he knows too well, don’t look at his face as a serious face, in fact he is an old fox in his bones

It is quite stubborn to be stubborn, it's exactly the stone in the stinking ditch, but the ability to see the wind is also good at the rudder, and sure enough, I smell a little bit when I meet, and the most noticeable thing in Lisbon is the upcoming event. The Deacon Meeting of the Business Alliance. As the former deputy governor, Prais knew the true identity of Socutus Delan. The discussion on the abolition of the thirteenth deacon was agitated some time ago, and all the imperial businessmen are paying attention. In this meeting, the fat man didn’t want to intervene, but when he learned that in this meeting, someone would use Socutus Delan to have an affair with Horelle as a means of instigating trouble, and the fat man became completely angry.

There was charcoal fire inside the carriage, but it still couldn't completely cover the chill outside. Seeing the look of the fat man, Prays knew that he had guessed most of them correctly. He couldn't help but hesitate to ask, "Your Majesty really wants to give up business Alliance?"

In Prais’s impression, business alliances have always been the lifeblood of the empire’s economy, creating amazing wealth for the empire and being the most powerful heart of the empire’s expansion. That’s why Prais wondered why the fat man would Withdraw Socutus Delan as the ultimate control valve, so that the business alliance is now turbulent, vying for power. Although it has not yet caused damage to the empire's economy, problems will surely occur in the long run!

"It’s not to give up, but when it’s time to correct it! Putting the economic lifeline of the empire on the business organization will inevitably cause problems over time. Merchants are chasing interests. As long as there are interests, they will betray the country. , You used to be the Minister of Military Affairs of Swadian, and you also know how unreliable it is to put everything on the merchant! You can’t have to kill every time!"

The fat man shook his hand to the carriage with a calm expression. The carriage shook slightly and began to move forward. Prais was silent. The fat man cleaned the business alliance several times, and that time was not a head-rolling one, even so, The calls within the business alliance to fight for power have never ceased. They have killed one crop and then risen again. As His Majesty Falcon said, the pursuit of interests by businessmen has reached the point where they can ignore their own life and death, and bring the empire’s life to death. Putting the economy on such a person is no longer unreliable, but walking on the tip of a knife, as long as it falls, it is dead!

"What does your majesty want me to do?"

Prays asked directly, looking through the carriage window and falling on the commercial street with weaving people outside. Thick snow was laminated on the eaves of the houses on both sides of the street, and the shops on both sides. The rows are close to each other, so many are unbelievable. Even in the center of the continent, Paravin absolutely did not have such a prosperous scene. Prais's expression was a little tranced. The blood and the sea of ​​corpses in the mainland united war were in front of him. The prosperous brocade gave him an illusion of vicissitudes of life. Prais wanted to indulge in such a scene. As the only remaining member of the dark aristocratic iron triangle, the goal he was struggling to pursue was not the sight in front of him. ?

"I want you to attend the meeting~IndoMTL.com~On behalf of the Empire Bank" The fat man took out a file from the drawer of the desk in the car, and said in a cold voice, "Delan will go with you, the business alliance issue, Delan is responsible, and you are responsible for other issues!"

"Other aspects?"

Prays was a little surprised. He saw the coldness in His Majesty Falcon’s eyes that there was no need to question, and quickly shut up and stopped asking, because he knew that there was only one type of person who needed him, the former adjutant to suppress, the Empire. There are not many of the military and business alliance deacons who have relations with the imperial military. In the background that can be dragged out when they finally become popular, who can guarantee that there is no military, the power of the military is even Lisbon Even the administrative officer may not be able to suppress it, and His Majesty Falcon is also inconvenient to come forward in that situation. Of course, this kind of thing is done by himself. As long as he is not at the level of the Big Five, he, the former deputy chief, can still let the other party know the difficulties. And retired

Prays still thinks of the fat man's evil simply. Three days later, in the carriage heading to the business alliance headquarters, the fat man gave him and Socutus Delan a text each with a smirk and said

"At the meeting, as the two members of the Imperial Bank, they mainly accomplished two things. First, the thirteenth deacon was abolished. With Delan, Horelle would not object to it. Second, it was to borrow This opportunity tells the business alliance that 70% of the outflow gold tickets of the business alliance are in the hands of the Imperial Bank. Naturally someone will be responsible for other things!"

Baozi is here to wish you all the New Year, and I wish you all great achievements in the new year, wealth, wife, house, son, and cars are all available!
