Chapter 36 Ambition of the Chamber of Commerce (4500)
Casimir, Cavalieriaki, Grand Knight Commander, Headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce.
The land of Casimir today was first ruled by the gods and people "Pegasus".
Initiated by the Khan of Nightmare, the "Travel to Heaven", starting from the grassland on the east side of Usas today, conquered and spurred the entire land, and the rule of "Pegasus" over Casimir fell into a trap during this "Travel to Heaven" In the chaos, Casimir's knights also took the opportunity to overthrow their rule, and established the knight order system and Casimir's dictatorship.
When the Kingdom government fell and Casimir officially established the dictatorship of the Knights, the Chamber of Commerce had already appeared.The Chamber of Commerce at that time was nothing more than a loose alliance of several farmers and textile factory owners. Fight for a little meager benefit for yourself.But there is no doubt that its history even surpasses the two organizations of the Supervisory Committee and the Knights' Association, and is on a par with Casimir's original government organization, the National Council.
The times are developing rapidly, and Casimir is not static. When the news of Victoria's industrial revolution and the sound of the first batch of steam armor hand cannons resounded throughout Terra, Casimir had to be involved in this battle with Victoria. Among the world games headed.With the influx of new concepts such as finance, international trade, and capital, the order of Casimir gradually began to collapse. About 120 years ago, a servant of a knight noble used the huge funds he accumulated to buy the deceased who was auctioned by the National Council. The assets of the nobleman became an upstart, and the capital of this squire was the legal income from running the knight's family business under the background of the gradual development of commerce in various countries at that time.
This incident has attracted many other people, and the relationship between knights and merchants is getting closer. Traditional knights and nobles are unable to resist new external threats and capital impacts, but their own status depends on the huge capital held by these servants and merchants. maintain.Over time, directors and businesses gradually took over Casimir from the traditional knightly nobility.
It was the best of times, and it was the worst of times.Since then, the Chamber of Commerce is no longer a loose merchant alliance. With the help of their huge economic strength and flexible capital mind, they have completely defeated the former nobles in this game of money politics.The knight family was kicked off the stage, and the retired knights returned from the border, only to find that everything had been turned upside down. Some knights refused to recognize the city, while the other part formed an organization like the Supervisory Committee to control Casimir's military power. , and seek reforms in an attempt to restore past glory.The Chamber of Commerce, on the other hand, leapt into Casimir's true behemoth.
"We formed the Knights Association to deprive the particularity of traditional knights and nobles, so that every commoner has the opportunity to become a titled knight by virtue of their own efforts, enjoying the noble privileges that could only be obtained through blood, as well as countless flowers and Applause. We have infiltrated the National Chamber, and even the prosecutors of the National Chamber must respect the decisions made by our spokesperson. We have emptied the Supervisory Council. If they still have the troublesome forces of the Knights in their hands, they would have It should be a complete vase. But this is just the last light of the knight."
At the emergency contact meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, the chairman of Rose News said arrogantly:
"The future is not the era of knights! Our friends from Victoria have already agreed to our request. They will exchange the design blueprints of steam armor equipment for the command of Black Iron of the Unarmored Alliance to help them complete an impossible assassination. If the assassination is successful , we can also get the design data of Victoria's advanced land-ship from them, as well as the design ideas of the war fortress. When countless high-speed warships rush out like a torrent of steel, the knight's charge is not worth mentioning at all! "
"This is a good deal. It is our best chance to break the stalemate with the Supervisory Committee and fully grasp Casimir. Now we are voting. If you agree with my proposal, please raise your hand!"
..........
"Click."
There was a notification sound after the recorder finished playing, the chairman of Rose Newspaper raised his head, his cold eyes swept over all the people present at the round table one by one, he lay back suddenly, and his fat body hit the high back chair There were two creaking sounds from the back of the chair.Accompanied by the creaking sound was the innocent voice of the chairman of Rose News:
"Everyone heard it too. When I proposed this motion, everyone present agreed. Right?"
"But you didn't tell us that Xuan Tie might be exposed! Victoria might take revenge on Casimir!" the serious-faced director retorted.
The barriers to Casimir's wealth, and the interior of the Chamber of Commerce is not monolithic. The executive directors are divided into four parts, radicals and moderates.Profit seekers, and careerists.The chairman of Rose Newspapers is always called a "reporter". The fat man whose real name is Kane looked at the open-mouthed director in front of him, and knew in his heart that he was one of those simple and moderate people.
"Director Saqiyev, your business sells kitchen utensils. When you sell knives to customers, will you also remind them that the knives may cut their fingers?"
"Reporter" Kane sneered and argued,
"I am a qualified businessman. I have convinced you that the products I sell are good and harmless. What happened to him in the end has nothing to do with me or the product. It is the user's own fault. Or do you think , because using a knife may cut your fingers, why don’t you give up the kitchen knife and stare at a piece of fat meat to drool?”
The director opened his mouth, but found that he was unable to refute this fallacy, because as Director Kane said, if he refuted this statement, it would overthrow the principle of acting as a qualified Casimir capitalist ——that is, using acceptable deception to make consumers buy their own products.
"I know that everyone here is dissatisfied with the current situation, but the decision was made by everyone. Don't expect me to fight it alone!" Director Kane said loudly, overshadowing the whispers in the venue.
A director raised his hand and asked, "Tell me, what should we do now? Victoria wants to block our economy. Back to the Great Knights, we are now complaining that every day should not be done, that the land is not working, and even survival is a problem, so what do we have to eat your so-called fat meat?"
Director Kane chuckled, raised a finger, and said with confidence: "It's very simple, turn in!"
"Everyone, have you forgotten how we got our status today? It's money and capital! Letania... Ursus! These powerful countries are so ignorant that it makes people feel distressed, immersed in In the glory of the nobles, they can give them as much of that kind of thing as they want."
"Our current enemy is only one, Victoria! This country should have died in the midst of singing and dancing, but there was one person who woke up the sleeping lion. In just one year, the sun never set The Empire is glorious again, their rapid development looks like when they dominated the world, our newspapers cannot cover their land, our voice cannot reach their ears, and they even pioneered the nationalization of enterprises Crazy move, horrifying! They are our real enemies!"
Kane said loudly:
"We must contain them! Now is the best time. Prince Aslan, who woke up the lion, has become the target of the nobles in his country and many of our farsighted colleagues. Let alone an unshackled alliance, as long as Casimir doesn't want to be subordinated to others anymore, even if it is ten unmanned alliances, we have to send! The lion must be put to sleep again! The current failure is only short-lived, our actions have been fruitful, all the news from Londinium They all conveyed a theme to us, Prince Aslan's life is hanging by a thread! We won!"
"Next, it's time to move in. Colombia is a good choice. The chaotic political situation has given us sufficient soil for development. We can once again use money and capital to control a country. This time, there will be no prison committee to hold us back , as long as the coalition forces formed by those workers are defeated, a country controlled by the Chamber of Commerce will stand in the west of the land! And this is not the end, as long as Victoria falls into a deep sleep again, the prosperity of today's Casimir will no longer be lost , now those who oppose us will come here and beg us to go back. At that time, we will return like lightning and regain control of Casimir!"
The directors looked at each other in blank dismay, shock written all over their faces.No one expected that the humble Kane, who calls himself a reporter on weekdays, actually had such a huge plan in his heart.And the point is, does this plan really seem feasible?
The Chamber of Commerce has plenty of money. Now, in order to fight against the Union of Trade Unions, the Colombian government has been forced to unite with the military, which was once the mortal enemy. The property of your lord is the same as the fiefdom, buy the "shares" of the country of Colombia!At that time, as long as it is done in the same way, how can the Colombians, whose economy has already collapsed in the war, be able to stop Casimir's capital erosion?That country didn't even have nobles, and before they collapsed, it was a rapidly developing capitalist federation, that is to say, no second prison would appear to stop what they did!
And because of expelling them, the Casimir Prison Council will gain a high reputation, but so what?Just like Director Kane said, honor, praise and other things, just give them as much as they want.The people of Casimir will soon find out that under the management of the pedantic knights of the Prison Council, there will be no knight championships, no channel for the competitive knights to jump up the ranks, no triennial grand meeting and rapid economic development, Cities would fall back into the countryside, and living standards would plunge.
At that time, the fools will find that Casimir cannot do without the economic foundation provided by the Chamber of Commerce, and the people in the Prison Council are liars. Angry people will completely bury the Prison Council in the soil, and then go crazy It won't be too long to ask the federation to return, even as long as their generation can see it.And by that time, the Federation in charge of Columbia was no longer what it used to be, with only remnants of soldiers and defeated generals left, and the Procuratorate and the decadent knights and nobles, who were still cast aside by the people, could not make any waves at all.They will control the two countries and become the strongest force on the earth, even Victoria can't compare with them!Because Wayne is dead, the lion sleeps, and the sun that never sets will set again!
Someone raised the question: "But isn't this betraying the country?"
Kane, a qualified Terra careerist, answered this question with a very classic sentence:
"What are you talking about? You are a capitalist. A capitalist has no country."
"So when do we start with this plan? I mean, how do we roll it in?" asked the director.
Kane looked at the directors who were already ready to move with satisfaction, with a smile on his face, and arranged in an orderly manner:
"Evacuate from the secret road first. I have already contacted the Wuyu League. Except for the mysterious iron who has temporarily hidden his whereabouts after the mission is completed, the remaining two will be connected with Qingjin at No. A4 of the Great Knight's collar." Wait for us and send us to Colombia. I have arranged for the people of the federal government in Colombia, and someone will be there to meet us. As for how to transfer assets, I don’t need to teach you, do I?”
The directors nodded.They are too familiar with such things as transferring assets to evade taxes.Everyone has their own channel, there is no need to worry about it at all.As long as they arrive in Colombia, the money will follow naturally.
People praised: "Good job, Mr. Kane." "You are really an excellent managing director."
But Kane shook his head, and finally put forward his own request: "No, no, are you still called the managing director now? I think, as the leader, I should have a better title?"
"From today onwards, I will be the chairman of the Standing Council of the Chamber of Commerce, how about it?"
Several directors looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one raised any objection.Even if it is dissatisfaction, it should not be brought up now.Everyone is still immersed in the joy of surviving the catastrophe, about to survive the catastrophe, and having a future blessing. No one will turn against the savior Kane at this time.
Kane nodded happily, and walked towards the door of the round table conference hall, preparing to evacuate from the secret passage.
He happily opened the door, and a bright silver gauntlet hit his face.
"Sorry, sir."
Lime, the leader of the Silver Spear Pegasus Knights who was about to knock on the door, withdrew his hand, looked at the executive director in front of him who had been punched by himself and had a nosebleed, apologized, and then took out a bag from his arms. Documents signed by the National Council:
"According to the order of the National Council, you, as well as the executive directors of the Casimir Chamber of Commerce, please come with us and accept the questions from the National Council and the Supervisory Committee!"
"What if I don't go?"
Kane wiped his nosebleed, his face darkened when he heard this, and he asked back.
"If you don't go..." Before Lime could finish speaking, behind him, a majestic female voice suddenly sounded:
"If you don't go, you don't have to go. Anyway, dead people can't talk."
Grand Knight Commander, Grandmaster, and retired combat knight Russell, under Victoria's instruction, rushed here!
PS: I finished it in one breath, so the update is a bit late, but it is really not easy to break the chapters in the middle, which will affect the viewing experience.
Wayne: You can send people to assassinate me, so I can't say hello and have them all praise you?
I'm going to raise the Chamber of Commerce three times!Let's watch me slowly raise!
Today is two in one, just this chapter, good night!
PS2: The words about the director of the United Rose Newspaper Kane were changed from the original plot.In the original plot, Kane mentioned that Casimir's biggest enemy is Colombia, which is developing rapidly and is also capitalist, so others want to seize the market in Colombia, and then control Colombia's economy and politics, just like what Casimir did the same.
Now Columbia has been promoted by Wayne, and Wayne has started the second revival of Victoria and the nationalization of enterprises, which is basically a plan to kill capitalists like him, so as he said, Victoria is the biggest The enemy, Wayne is Victoria's brain. In order to contain Victoria, even if he sends ten unarmored allies to kill Wayne, leaving Victoria without a leader and continuing to sleep.However, it is not a general decision for the Chamber of Commerce to activate the Wuzhou League in the original plot. Private directors can also decide privately, although it is against the rules-the original plot specifically mentioned this setting, and it seems to be said from the mouth of the doctor. .
Blow your story again and set your party identity!
Chapter 37 Tasks for Platinum
"Jingle bells - tinkle bells -"
The crisp ringtone woke up the drowsy Ambassador Black, Platinum, Manna and others sitting around the desk. Ambassador Black quickly picked up the phone and glanced out the window of the embassy. The sky was completely dark. , There is no sound in the direction of the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce, as if the deafening firefight not long ago was just a dream.
He put the receiver of the phone to his ear, swallowed, and said respectfully:
"This is the Victorian embassy in Casimir, this is Blake."
"This is Londinium. I'm Wayne Bruce."
"Your Highness!" Ambassador Black shouted overjoyed, the sleepiness on his face was swept away, he jumped up from his chair as if he had been given a shot of stimulant, and paced back and forth in the office, "Can you It's so good to hear your voice, I thought you...."
"This is a secret, and it's not time to reveal it yet." Wayne interrupted Ambassador Black's exclamation that seemed to be overflowing, "How did you do what I ordered you to do?"
"It's done!" Ambassador Black looked at the people at the desk, and replied: "After receiving the order from Londinium, I immediately arranged for people to complete the task, and Londinium said that he would send someone to contact I arranged follow-up work, but I didn't expect that this contact person would be you."
Wayne smiled, surprised?Just be surprised.At least it's better than the scare some people are about to get.But before he had time to speak, Ambassador Black paused for a moment, and said with some hesitant questions:
"However, there were still some surprises."
Wayne was surprised: "What accident?"
"The platinum leader of the Wuxuan League you are looking for...is a male."
"...Huh?" Wayne was stunned for a long time. Platinum is a man, but how is this possible?Where is my cute knight killer hit worker flat-chested pegasus platinum big?
This shouldn't be. After he traveled to this world, although he met some operators with slightly different personalities from the original plot, it can be explained that the key node that affects their lives has not yet appeared, or was given by Wayne. Cut off the Hu, so there will be a difference.But it seems that the difference is so bad that the personality has changed, but it has never happened before.
Could it be that Platinum was really a man before, but after undergoing an operation, he became a woman?Is this the turning point that affects Platinum's life?
Cough cough cough... what am I thinking.
Wayne shook his head and threw out the inexplicable things in his mind. He suddenly remembered that in the background story, Platinum was indeed not the first Platinum. Her position was after the death of the previous Platinum, and she was temporarily arrested as the apprentice of the previous Platinum.Thinking about it this way, maybe what Black found was the previous male platinum position?
Wayne sighed in disappointment, but it didn't mean that there was anything wrong with the previous Platinum position. Wayne arranged for people to go find Platinum, because of the status of the Wuzhou League, and not because of Platinum's beauty (forced truth) , It’s just that I didn’t expect to go a little early. The previous platinum is not dead, and the platinum of the four girlfriends outside the donkey has not taken office yet. It can only be said that it is a pity.
However, that's fine, Wayne is not obsessive-compulsive, and replied simply and neatly:
"Men, men are fine too. It doesn't matter to me. You have completed your mission very well."
Ambassador Black continued to be modest and did not dare to take credit, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.Fortunately, His Royal Highness Wayne is not taboo about meat and vegetables, otherwise he would find a man to go back, and he might be arrested by him for insulting the royal family.Sure enough, extraordinary people are extraordinary in every way!
After a pause, seeing that Black had nothing to say, Wayne ordered: "Black, give the microphone to Platinum."
Blake said yes and walked towards Platinum.Platinum, who had guessed from Black's words just now that the target was him, also stood up.
"Be careful what you say, Wu Zhou Meng, you are talking to a great man!" Black reminded with a hint of warning.He has never had a good impression of the Assassin organization that works for those stinking capitalists. Platinum is still a high-level cadre, the spire of the inverted triangle system, who knows what kind of vicious person he is?
Not to mention, His Highness Wayne was assassinated by the leader of their organization, Xuan Tie. Although judging from the phone call just now, His Highness Wayne was still in good health after the assassination, but the crime of assassinating the king is not just a crime. Yes, the entire Victorian patriots are full of hostility and hatred for the organization of the Unmanned League.
Platinum nodded without knowing, and didn't know where Black's hostility towards him came from. It can only be attributed to the fact that assassins are not welcome anywhere, so he wisely didn't answer the call, but picked up the microphone and said :
"Hello, the Platinum Chief of the Casimir Unarmored Alliance, are you?"
Really a man.
Wayne sighed in disappointment again, but soon, he adjusted his disappointment and replied solemnly:
"Victoria Aslan, Prince of Wales, you can call me Wayne."
"Aslan? Shouldn't you be addressing His Royal Highness Bruce?" Platinum obviously knew some of the aristocratic genealogy of Terra, and actually knew Wayne's surname, and also understood that out of respect and awe, nobles should be called by their surnames instead of directly. The rules of name and taboo.But Wayne justly denied his flattery:
"His Royal Highness Bruce is not something everyone can address. He has a special meaning. Just call me Wayne."
Platinum, who was rejected, chose to obey with some embarrassment. He made a different and difficult first impression of Wei En in his heart, and said, "It is...His Royal Highness Wei En."
"I'm looking for you because I have a task for you. Are you willing to accept it?" Wayne said.
Platinum rolled his eyes and said slyly: "Acceptance is acceptable, but we always look at the content of the task first in our business. If the content is beyond our ability, I'm sorry, I can't accept it."
"You have to accept the mission once you know it." Wayne didn't talk nonsense, since she was not a platinum girl, but a rough guy, an old assassin, Wayne didn't have the idea of communicating with men more, so he said directly, " The price I can offer is 50w Victoria gold coins, and a Victorian household registration and ID card. These are enough for you to live comfortably in any city in Victoria except Londinium in the second half of your life. If you If you are willing, you can open a store and catch up with the current era, maybe it can grow bigger. Of course, the premise is that you are honest."
"this....."
In normal times, this condition cannot be said to be very attractive.Although the position of the Wuxi League in Casimir is invisible, but as a platinum leader who has been working for so many years, he can't say that he has a lot of money in Casimir, and he can be regarded as a small savings.As long as he does not leave Casimir, the life he can live is far more than a simple life without worrying about food and clothing. Even if he is extravagant, he can squander for three to five years.
But any sensible person can see that Casimir is in dire straits now. The Supervisory Committee is besieging the Headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce. Infighting is on the verge of breaking out, and Ursus has expelled Casimir's diplomats. , the living standard of the Great Knights will inevitably decline like a cliff. If they really face the crisis of extinction, let alone spending time and drinking, whether they can survive is another matter.
In comparison, Wayne's conditions are very tempting.
Although he already knew the answer, Platinum still did not give up and asked: "I know the content of the mission, what will happen if I don't accept it?"
"I will find someone else. You are useless." Wayne said, "Of course, I will not kill you. Victoria and I personally do not advocate violence to solve problems, but there will be violence to deal with you. Union."
A threat, an undisguised threat.Wayne knows very well that instead of killing you if you don't agree, it's better not to kill you and hand it over to the Ursus.This is much more terrifying than killing him.
Sure enough, Platinum immediately replied: "I promise, I accept. But I have one more request."
"Say." Wayne was very tolerant, and did not immediately veto Platinum's bargaining move.
"You don't need the money, can you add another person to your household registration?"
Platinum tilted his head slightly, looked at the curious Xinteliya from the corner of his eyes, and stretched out his hand to rub her head.
"Yes." Wayne nodded. He didn't know the information about the previous generation of Platinum. Maybe he had a wife, or brothers and sisters?
For those who are not mortal enemies, Wayne has always kept a front line in his work, only letting him go alone, not allowing him to bring his family, is a bit unreasonable.
But he was still curious, how could an assassin with no alliance really be able to form a family?What is the Assassin's family like, the kind of God of War and his old father?Or is this killer not too cold?
Platinum was silent for a moment, considering his own words, and finally replied slowly: "My daughter. She just, just came of age."
He couldn't say that Xinteliya was his apprentice. Who knew if Wayne would allow another unknown assassin of the Unhacked Alliance to enter the country with him?It might as well be a daughter. If she had a daughter, she would probably be about the same age as Xintleia.
If Wayne becomes suspicious, just say she is an adopted daughter.In short, conceal her identity as an assassin!It also happened to take this opportunity to help Xinteliya clear the identity of the Wuzhou League. After all, the Wuzhou League is about to collapse, and it would be a dangerous hidden danger to keep this identity.
As for whether he can leave directly without listening to the content of the mission or accepting it, Platinum didn't want to waste time asking at all.When he spoke to Wayne and knew that Wayne was still alive and had a plan, he already belonged to the group of people who "knew the content of the plan".He has no choice.
Wayne offered him an option he couldn't refuse.
