Power and Empire Chapter 629: Angry Blood (1)
629 Anger and Blood (1)
Received the message from Socutus Delan, the fat man closed the report in his hand absently. This is a small manor outside of Bekhatok, and the terrace is full of bright lights. Little Flower,
After staying in the beautiful island country of Salander for a long time, you will find that the most beautiful place is not the town, but the plain scenery outside the town. The central counties are the most influential areas of the Sky Temple. This is because Close to Kyoto, dense farms and fields are also preserved intact. A river passes through the manor and winds eastward to the horizon in the distance. Golden light and shadow float on the great plain
The whole plain is like a map, pasture gardens, nets of intertwined ditches and rivers. It is now May, and the sun in the sky is starting to get a little hot, the hot and dim sun, violets, hyacinths, and daffodils. The flowers have faded, and there are still some dots of residual flowers in the dark fields. Passing pedestrians fold a few and hide them in the baskets in their hands. The breeze drives in the fragrance of weeds and mint from the window.
In the distance, a group of black armored cavalry of Vicia was approaching here from the distant sky like scattered clouds. Soon, the sound of Hukoqili’s familiar riding boots came from the stairs, in his hand. Holding an encrypted report, he hurriedly entered from the door, stood upright and gave a military salute
"My lord has investigated everything clearly. As my lord had expected, the attitude of the Saranda Northern Army towards our Wikiya has changed a bit. They have formed an alliance for the Wikiya, except for most of the southern nobles. Some northern aristocrats who are ignorant of current affairs are also involved in it. Among them, the eight northern lords headed by the Northern Pinewe family are secretly planning to take over the power of Grand Duke Nilai and advocate that they should take this opportunity to achieve true northern autonomy. "
"Enwei Family"
The fat man was taken aback for a moment, and he still had some impressions of this family. At the first Northern Alliance meeting, a junior of the Enwei family dared to make fun of that local lord, which shows the degree of arrogance of this family.
They have a good relationship with the Wikiah Business Association, but in the later competition for the first export port in the northwest, they were surpassed by Leggen, who had always looked down upon. The northwest lords conspired in series, vaguely surpassing Nilai and secretly controlling the momentum of the Northern Alliance,
But what about it? Fatty smiled disdainfully. In his eyes, the Northern Alliance is nothing more than a face-saving project. For this kind of shortsightedness, the guy who jumps up and down is naturally not in his eyes. But now I dare to jump out like this, I can only say that the other party has lived to the end. In front of absolute strength, any ghostly tricks are just a joke,
The Northern War seems to have only been fought for a month, but it took more than half a year to set up the game, which created the illusion that the Kyoto Army was vulnerable. In fact, the fat man still admits to Saran De Mamu. The bravery of the Nuuk knights, these hot-blooded and young guys, are very suitable to serve as forwards in certain tough battles. If the opponent is replaced by a mixed and disorderly northern army, the Mamunuk knights of Kyoto will have long gone all the way to the north.
"Send someone to investigate immediately. Those domestic business associations have contact with them. I'm afraid this matter is not easy"
The fat man glanced over the report and frowned for a while before placing the report on the table again, in a cold tone with a bit of murderous intent. "This matter can be handed over to Lidas of the Kingdom Supervision Department. Tove, let him secretly retrieve the trade records related to the Enwei family from the archives of the business alliance. He is the honorary deacon of the business alliance. It is his duty to pay attention to the flow of trade. He will not come forward and will not startle the snake."
"My lord means that this time the Envi family’s seizure of power was instigated by a Vecya businessman?" Hu Keqili's face was taken aback, and then he felt a little chill on his back, Lidastorf. The name is relatively unfamiliar to most people, but for the insiders of the business alliance, it is a shadow that hangs over the hearts of all businessmen.
His position is not high, but he is the only one who is directly in charge of the Falcon Grand Duke, supervising smuggling affairs. Heta, the largest smuggling organization, is quite familiar with the various tricks of smuggling. Smugglers heard His name is like a mouse hears a cat,
He leads the darkest and mysterious team of the Ministry of Supervision, the "Dark Adjudicator". In many cases, the Ministry of Supervision is also very taboo against this mysterious team.
Hearing that the Grand Duke appointed Lidastorf to be in charge, Hukoqili knew that this time I was afraid that another group of people would be lost.
Businessmen’s intervention in military affairs has always been the greatest taboo of the Grand Duke. This time I don’t know which brave guy is trying to get involved in such a big event as the kingdom decision. I didn’t think it before, but now I want to come. If the Salander War continues, it can indeed benefit a large number of people in this war.
The trading volume of weapons alone has skyrocketed nearly five times in the past month or so. There are countless transactions involving previous nobles’ property, but for those who consume a lot of food and gold every day For the Vijaya army, it is an extremely odious "make a country difficult to make money"
"Hehe, no one supports it. How can an Enwei family gather such great power"
The fat man sneered at the report on the table and looked at the bright scenery outside the window. "The last time the Port of Legge was determined to be the designated port in the Northwest Sea, there was a lot of controversy within the business alliance, but they were all caught by the army. Fang pressed down with a confidential strategic reply. I knew that the Enwei family had an extraordinary relationship with some guys at the top of the business alliance. I told Lidastorf that I would grant immunity from supervision and do whatever it takes, no matter who it is. As long as it is found out, it will not be tolerated"
"Yes, the subordinates will do it now"
Hu Keqili quickly lowered his sweaty forehead. From the fat man’s tone, he could feel the murderous intent in the grand duke's heart, just like the turbulent undercurrent flowing under the ice floe, which may break through the thinness at any time. The ice surface, the unknown unlucky ones are rolled into the boundless cold hell
It’s late at night. Most of the blocks in the southern Hukas port are quiet, with only people returning home in a hurry. However, in the new northern district about three to four kilometers away from the port, the rough streets are still very lively. .
This is a new district that has been expanded to expand trade. The buildings are very new and tall. There are densely packed signs on both sides of the street, and there are many gorgeous and charming girls showing their beauty there, facing the past. Every man in the United States exerts the most deadly action to solicit business for himself.
This is the busiest *** in Hukas Harbor at night. Only at night does it appear so prosperous and so crowded. The Duchess of Viktoria gave the harbor area a very free political and economic policy, and even gave them full freedom in the formulation of local laws. While bringing a large amount of wealth and rapid economic development, it also brought some people. Spiritual emptiness and depravity in life.
This area flourished rapidly after the Visa War. In order to meet the needs of a large number of sea-going ships, a number of brand-new docks have been built here, and work is started day and night to rush to build ships, including military warships and civilian transport ships, which has attracted a large number of foreign workers to flock here. Most of these workers are from the remote central or northwestern part of Vijay, and even recently there are many from the northern part of Kujit.
The salary at the shipyard is good. The life of the workers is monotonous, most of them are young and vigorous young adults, which inevitably boost their careers here
Suddenly it started to rain, and people on the street walked to both sides to take shelter from the rain, which greatly facilitated the work of those professional women. Not only can they talk, they can also pull the man they like.
Everyone who passed by could not escape their harassment, so many men who were not determined enough quietly disappeared into the next room amidst warm laughter. However, there were also a few men. Their arrival made every street girl look at them with envy, but they didn't make any movements.
In fact, it looks like these three men walking with their heads down. They don’t seem to be very special. Apart from wearing a dazzling black suit, no one thinks they have anything special from a distance, but once they get close to them, many people will feel that they seem to have a kind of tension and tension. Feeling uneasy, involuntarily will give way.
The rain is getting heavier and there are more pedestrians on both sides of the street, and some areas are even crowded and impassable. The three men turned and walked into a restaurant.
This is a large-scale restaurant. The decoration is very frugal and the price is very popular. There are many customers in the restaurant, most of which are shipyard workers in uniforms. Opposite this restaurant is the Duke of Criland Shipyard, the largest shipyard at Hukas Harbor.
This shipyard was named after the Duke of Criland, the husband of the former lord Marquis Belle. After the initial painful reforms, many nobles who were compensated chose to develop in industry. The widow of the Duke, Marquis Belle The lady owns 3 large docks in Hukas Port. Next to the Duke of Criland Shipyard, there is a shipyard called Marquis Gerrard. The two shipyards together have more than 400 workers.
Standing at the door of the restaurant, you can even vaguely see the endless flow of materials and people in the shipyard.
Now all industries need a lot of ships~IndoMTL.com~ So every shipyard is running full horsepower 24 hours to start production, here is no exception, the workers are all three shifts, uninterrupted. jobs. Soon it was time for workers to work in shifts again, and many shipyard workers tried to eat a supper here and then spend a difficult night.
The man in black walked into the restaurant without attracting anyone’s attention. This kind of dress is seen too much in the Hukas area. Whether it is the top-level character or the dark society, they all like it Dress,
Even the waiter in the store just said hello with a smile on his face, and then went to work on other things. Their dressing is obviously not for eating here, most of them come to find their own boss. Sure enough, the boss was called down quickly.
"Lord Bertonk, don't come here unharmed"
Behind the two leaders in black, a middle-aged man in a trench coat turned out, patted the boss affectionately on the shoulder, and hugged him affectionately,
But the boss's face turned a little pale, he wanted to retreat quickly, but the other two men in black had already been sealed off in the back. . ..
