Lord of War

Void City is now more and more prosperous. Although its geographical location is not ideal, as the first city of Lord Panda, Sean Connery has naturally put a lot of effort into it. This Neil even spent hundreds of thousands of gold coins to build roads and completely opened up the roads of Hongye Town and Steel Wing Training Camp (formerly Panda Town), and even continued to the Ida Ling.

  Of course, with the exception of the Chiraff, any road to the Void City in Shaun’s territory, whether directly or indirectly, is basically completed. For this reason, William even set up a special patrol unit to regularly clean up and rectify the potential hazards that may occur in these roads and surrounding areas. As a result, a large number of businessmen flowed into the void city not far away.

  The only pity is that the Void City, or the entire Pandaling, has not yet received the Pan-Continent Alliance rating, so no Chamber of Commerce joining the Pan-Continent Alliance came here to invest. Invisibly, Pandaling’s income is naturally much less. At present, the income of the entire territory is mainly dependent on taxes and some special products shipped from the large amount of grain planting and Hongye Town. If it were not for Viscount Rude, If Da Yiling manages well and is more profitable, I am afraid that with Sean’s current force of more than 20,000 men, he would have already gone bankrupt.

  The income issue has really become a top priority for the entire territory.

   But in any case, this is after all the problem of the entire territory, not the problem of Void City.

   Therefore, the Void City is rapidly prospering in a situation comparable to deformity.

But at this moment, in a room of the lord’s mansion in the Void City, there was an extremely fierce quarrel, and the quarrel was getting worse and worse. If you don’t know it, almost everyone will think that the fight is about to start. NS.

  Just looking at the usual appearance of the soldiers stationed outside the door, you can know that the situation may not be that bad.

  In fact, when this happened on the first day, these guards did look like an enemy, and they even smashed into the room and rushed in. However, as the number of days has increased, these guards are now completely calm, because this kind of quarrel takes place almost every day-the quarrel starts in the morning and stops until lunch time, and then again. The quarrel began late at night from the afternoon tea time, and the time has lasted for ten days.

  In these ten days, the negotiation in the conference room has not gone smoothly.

The guards didn’t understand these things. They only knew that those who came to negotiate were members of the Pan-Continent Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and that they arrived in the Void City more than half a month ago. Once they arrived, they launched an extremely fierce momentum. Commander William nodded. Seeing that the negotiation was about to end, Administrative Officer Neil finally returned, and all the guards and soldiers who saw Administrative Officer Neil on that day would never forget that scene.

  The first rays of the morning sun shone down.

When the gate of the city slowly opened, oncoming was a carriage that was so **** that it was disgusting. The carriage had been completely stained red with blood, and the purple-black color that solidified after a large amount of blood dried up made the carriage become disgusting. It's extremely hideous and terrifying.

The driver was a black armored guard with a broken arm, and there were seventeen black armored cavalry guards beside the carriage, but these soldiers were almost all wounded, and the driver with only one arm seemed to be these black armored guards. The wounded were the lightest here, because among the cavalry around the carriage, several had even fallen into a coma.

  When he saw this scene before him, the guards of the city gate were immediately shocked.

  Because judging from the costumes and markings of these black armored cavalry, it is undoubtedly the newly formed heavy cavalry unit only a few months ago when Commander William personally issued an order, with jet black wings. It's just that in the various wars that broke out in the previous territory, the casualty rate of this heavy cavalry unit was too high. More than 700 people were killed in the battle, and even the serial number was almost cancelled. Therefore, after the war ended, this heavy cavalry unit The troops are actually in a state of rest and reorganization.

  Until two months ago, he was appointed by Commander William to reach the Iraqi leader to **** Archon Neil back.

These guards counted time, and the Dark Wings should indeed have arrived in the void city within a few days, but they did not expect to see such a horrible scene in front of them. What level of attack did they encounter? Will it become like this? But as a mercenary group in the past, there was nothing unseen in the days when the knife was licking blood. Therefore, after a shock, the superior commander quickly issued the order to immediately go out of the city to protect the team and the carriage from entering the city. At the same time Also immediately notify Commander William.

  A total of three hundred people with pitch-black wings, after this battle, I am afraid that the designation and establishment will be cancelled!

  A unit whose organization and designation was cancelled less than half a year after its establishment is not a symbol of auspiciousness anyway.

  So when Neil got off the wagon, his eyes were cold.

   And the next situation is even more incomprehensible to many people, because when Neil took over the negotiation with the Pan-Continent Chamber of Commerce Alliance, he actually showed a completely different indifference and strength from the past. He refused to give in even a little bit of profit, and even added many favorable conditions to himself in many actual trade negotiations, especially in the import and export tariffs of the territory, and directly adopted the system of taxation by volume. , While also imposing a toll tax.

  You should know that in the trade system that the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce has reached with any country, tariffs are based on vehicle ratios. That is to say, no matter how much goods a carriage is loaded, only one carriage is charged, and if it is just passing by without conducting any trade or commercial activities in the territory, then the territory or country will not even Charge any fees to the China Chamber of Commerce Alliance.

  It is precisely because of this that since Neal's return, negotiations with the Pan-Continent Chamber of Commerce have immediately stalled.

"The request you said is too harsh, I can't agree to it." A middle-aged man with a mustache snarled in the conference room, "Currently, the territories and countries that have signed trade cooperation contracts with our chamber of commerce alliances are almost all over the continent. , And no one has adopted the practice of collecting taxes according to the quantity. Now I have agreed to your request, but you actually charge 10% of the market purchase price for every kilogram of goods!"

  If the purchase price of one kilogram of goods is one gold coin, then the 10% charge is one silver coin. This amount may seem small, but you must know that a carriage carrying goods is absolutely impossible to carry only one kilogram of materials. Usually, it can carry at least five kilograms to one ton of materials, which is equivalent to paying five silver coins to one. Gold coins, but the problem is that the purchase price of many important materials and goods per kilogram can never be just one gold coin, or even ten gold coins or 100 gold coins. Then this tax is very terrible.

  In other places, for trucks returning to the Mainland Chamber of Commerce Union, regardless of the size and the cargo they carry, the tariffs are usually one gold coin for small trucks, five gold coins for medium trucks, and ten gold coins for large trucks.

   "You don't have to agree." Neal stared at each other coldly and sneered, "Anyway, there is really no good material to produce in our territory, and you don't need to do business with us."

   "You!" The eyes of the man with the eight-character Hu instantly turned red.

   "We have agreed to this request." At this moment, a middle-aged man who looked no younger than the Hu Zi Hu man said in a deep voice.

  Neil turned his head and stared at the opponent coldly.

In the last ten days, this middle-aged man has been responsible for watching and taking notes. He has never intervened, and has always been very low-key, so that Neil has almost forgotten his existence in the last few days. Unexpectedly, he was the one who could really decide everything in this negotiation. This situation of losing a lot of judgment due to emotional interference has not appeared in Neal’s life for a long time. Of course, he knew that he might have missed many important information and clues because of this, and it could even be said that if it weren’t for him. He didn't care about the trade negotiations with the Pan-Continent Chamber of Commerce Alliance, so he would have completely lost in a series of negotiations.

  But, as long as the thought that the dark-winged unit protecting him had 18 dead, and there were so many disabled and seriously injured, Neil couldn’t calm down anyway.

After talking with Ablis that day, Neil came up with a strategy. Anyway, there are two people to protect, and they also showed absolutely powerful strength, so Neil let Dark Wing rush back to Void City first. Avoid attrition due to possible dangers and accidents. However, he never thought that the Pan-Continent Chamber of Commerce Alliance would be so frantic, and directly slaughtered the entire dark wings. If it weren't for the smell of blood and strong fluctuations in Dexter later, I am afraid that the dark wings would continue It is impossible for the last eighteen people to stay.

  As soon as he thought of this, Neil naturally couldn't give these Pan-Continent Chamber of Commerce alliances any good expressions.

"We have agreed to this condition, so can I ask Archon Neil to give in appropriately?" The middle-aged man put down the quill in his hand and said politely, "Perhaps on some things, Some people in the Chamber of Commerce have acted excessively, but we did not have any malicious intentions."

"Businessmen all pursue profit. If there is not enough profit, it is absolutely impossible to use some extreme methods." Neil sneered, "Anyway, my requirements and conditions are already here. If you accept it, you don’t have to sign a contract with us."

  The middle-aged man took off his glasses and covered the flash of anger in his eyes by wiping the glasses: "Is this what Sir Connery meant?"

   "Lord Lord has given me full authority to deal with it, so you don't need to worry, Lord Lord will support my decision." Neil replied coldly.

"I understand." The middle-aged man put on his glasses and his voice has become a little hard. "I don't know when Sir Connery will return. I also want to discuss some things with him face to face. The impact of this incident. Very big, I am afraid it is not something that Archon Neal can represent. After all, this is related to the interests and layout of the entire Chamber of Commerce alliance."

  The middle-aged man especially emphasized the "interests and layout of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance", which is a response to the four words Neil said before "for profit".

"It may take a month or two for the Lord Lord to return." Neil said softly, "but I don't think there is any need to continue to negotiate about the wild land. Lord Lord is right about that piece of land. Land, I am very interested, and after all, someone broke the rules first."

   "Oh?" The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows.

  Neil did not speak, but just clapped his hands, and soon someone sent two boxes in. (To be continued.)
