Chapter 54 Don't Have Any Opinions
Romon put down the newspaper in his hand, let go of the text, and the voices from the side came to his ears again.
"Hey, I heard that the army of the Kendela Empire has advanced more than 300 kilometers into the Magic Kingdom of Mana, and it only broke through the city of Fettering two days ago."
"Tch, when did this news come out? Isn't it too ignorant for you to come out and say it now?"
"That's right, who will listen to these news patiently now. The Kendela Empire is much stronger than the Magic Kingdom of Mana. Isn't it normal to win the battle?"
"You only know that the Candela Empire won, but do you know how they agreed?" The person who was refuted seemed a little unconvinced.
"How else can we win? Isn't it because the Kendela Empire has a large number of troops and well-equipped equipment, and there are other reasons?"
"Nonsense, you just say that there are many people and good equipment, and it's fine if there are many people. Do you understand what it means to have good equipment?"
"Of course it's ready..." The person who answered the question hesitated for a moment before continuing reluctantly. "Of course the army of the Kendela Empire has more military magic machines, otherwise it wouldn't have invaded the Mana Magic Kingdom for more than 300 kilometers in such a short period of time."
"Then tell me, why is the army of the Candela Empire equipped with more military magic machines than the Mana Magic Kingdom? You must know that the military magic machines sold by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to every country are actually similar, and there is not much difference at all. "
"This..."
"Hey, you don't know this, do you? Let me tell you, I heard that the Kandela Empire has been secretly developing military magic machines all these years..."
As soon as these words came out, the tavern that was still buzzing with people just now fell into silence.
Luo Meng glanced over privately, and seeing the strange expressions on everyone's faces that he knew but couldn't say, he couldn't help but smile.
The conjecture about the private R&D and manufacture of military magical machines by the Candela Empire has actually emerged a few years ago, but it has always been a casual guess when people chat in private, and not many people really believe it.
After all, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been adhering to restricting the circulation and development of military magic machinery for more than ten years. No country on the mainland would risk offending the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to blatantly develop military magic machinery—as for privately? If it does, that's another story.
And in the recent period. To be precise, since about half a month ago, this rumor has spread all over the Sainz continent at once, and it has become a fact recognized by the vast majority of people, and it can no longer be called a rumor.
the reason is simple. The Candela Empire declared war on the Magic Kingdom of Mana, and then in the official battle between the two countries, they all produced a huge number of military magic machines far beyond the imagination of the outside world, and even many military magic machines were not sold to Xinfei Chamber of Commerce before. other countries on the list.
This is tantamount to publicly announcing to everyone that they are developing military magic machinery in private.
And in comparison. The Candela Empire obviously invested more in this aspect, researched it deeper, and maybe carried out research one step earlier.
Therefore, the number of military magic machines equipped by the military of the Candela Empire far exceeds that of the Mana Magic Kingdom. In addition, the military strength of the Candela Empire is much stronger, so it naturally has the upper hand. It only took half a month. The Mana Magic Kingdom suffered several failures and was forced to give up a large area of territory.
In the minds of the common people in the Sainz Continent, after eleven years of peace in the Sainz Continent, the sudden start of war again is certainly a bit uneasy. But as long as it has nothing to do with me, it can still be seen as lively, and I don't care that much.
This is even more true for the ordinary civilians of the Maro Empire around them.
The Candela Empire chose to go to war with the Magic Kingdom of Mana. No matter whether they win or lose, the Maro Empire will gain some benefits from it.
Needless to say, if you lose, even if you win, because of the presence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is impossible for the Candela Empire to expand the war to an unmanageable situation. magic machinery. But being punished by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would not be worth the loss.
However, these commoners of the Maro Empire were able to happily put on a look of watching the excitement, but Romon was not so relaxed.
As an employee under the name of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he was actually after the war between the Candela Empire and the Magic Kingdom of Mana. The response from chamber executives has been utterly bewildered.
It stands to reason that with the attitude shown by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce more than ten years ago, and because of the consistent insistence of the chairman Xu Yi, if the Candela Empire rashly chooses the Mana Magic Kingdom to start a war, it is bound to be warned by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to force it A truce is right.
Even if the Mana Magic Kingdom angered the president before. As a result, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce announced its complete withdrawal from the Mana Magic Kingdom, but with the usual style of the chairman, when it comes to such a major event, there will never be any ambiguity.
But the fact is that more than half a month has passed since the two sides started the war, but the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is uncharacteristically, and has not responded to it at all.
Even if several newspapers came to the door and wanted the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to give an official opinion, they only got a unified reply, that is, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, as a chamber of commerce, undoubtedly interferes in the affairs of other countries, so there is no comment on this. any opinion.
Don't have any opinion? What a joke!
If this is the case, what was Xinfei Chamber of Commerce doing in the past ten years?
But the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is really indifferent to this and has not made any statement.
In the eyes of many people, this seems to be a tacit agreement.
Many people even suspected that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had reached an agreement with the Candela Empire in private, which contributed to the Candela Empire's choice to invade the Magic Kingdom of Mana.
Otherwise, why did the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce announce its complete withdrawal from the Mana Magic Kingdom?
And most importantly, why did Chairman Xu Yixu simply leave the Sains Continent a few months ago and go to the Moyun Continent tens of thousands of kilometers away?
All of this was premeditated by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce!
Thinking of the remarks he heard yesterday, Romon's face darkened.
He himself is a member of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and he is still a middle-level manager. Naturally, he is much more familiar with the internal situation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce than outsiders.
Regarding the sudden war by the Candela Empire against the Magic Kingdom of Mana, the Chamber of Commerce did not make any special reaction to it. All affairs were carried on as usual, as if this matter had no impact at all.
It's just that when the members of the Chamber of Commerce discuss in private, they will also feel a little strange about the reaction of the Chamber of Commerce this time.
In any case, it is too strange that the Chamber of Commerce does not make any statement on the war between the two countries.
Everyone knows how powerful the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce currently has on all the countries on the Sainz continent, and when it comes to the military, it is almost decisive.
As long as the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce expresses its position, or even makes a move, the Candela Empire can only accept it as soon as it is good, and it is impossible to continue to expand its offensive and invade the Magic Kingdom of Mana on a large scale.
"Maybe it's really because the president is not around?" Romon thought of guessing in his mind.
He suddenly thought of another thing.
This time, the chairman personally led the team to Moyun Continent, not only brought a large number of magic forums and personnel and materials, but also took away a full 5,000 elite guards of the chamber of commerce.
Although compared with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's escort team, which currently has a total number of more than 40,000, taking away 5,000 guards is not enough to hurt the bones, but it is somewhat of an impact, showing the weakening of the Chamber of Commerce's armed forces.
And the most important thing is the attitude that the chairman inadvertently revealed after taking away these guards—the power of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been temporarily weakened, and its oppressive power against other countries on the mainland will naturally also be weakened.
It just so happens that Xu Yi, the core chairman, is not there. Doesn't it mean that other countries can take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do something?
wrong! What if the president didn't do it unintentionally?
This year suddenly flashed in Luo Meng's mind, and his face suddenly turned pale.
If the chairman didn't do it unintentionally, but deliberately...the consequences would be too serious...
Romon shook his head vigorously, throwing this dangerous thought out of his mind.
No, as long as there is Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, other countries on this continent will not dare to act rashly.
After all, it’s not like the president won’t come back. As long as he comes back, he can say anything casually to ensure that the Kendela Empire will obediently withdraw its troops and cease fighting. There is absolutely no other choice.
But... the chairman has been away for nearly half a year, when will he be able to come back?
Romon raised his head and looked west through the window.
The distance between Mr. Chairman and him is more than 10,000 kilometers. Even with the speed of the magic airship, it will take two and a half days to cross, and it is not so easy to come back.
Besides, according to some information disclosed by the top management of the chamber of commerce, the chairman will stay in Sainz continent for a long time this time, and the return date has not been decided at all.
Just as he was thinking, a tall figure suddenly appeared at the door of the tavern, blocking the light coming in and making the tavern dark.
The figure stood at the door for a moment, then turned around and walked directly towards Romon.
Without waiting for him to approach, Romon immediately recognized him. The person who came was Arroyo, his most powerful deputy and one of the directors of the college promotion plan.
Arroyo strode over, tore off the wine glass in Romon's hand, slammed it on the table, and scolded: "I knew you were lazy here again! All right, come with me quickly, my lord Meet us now!" (~^~)
