Chapter 43 Liwei

King Trutz looked at the letter in his hand. At first, his face was slightly sullen, but when he saw the back, a smile slowly emerged.

After reading all the letters, he folded the letter, the expression on his face had returned to his usual calm and calm, and his eyes showed strong confidence.

"Did Chairman Xu say anything else to you?" King Trutz asked Newman standing in front of him.

Newman immediately bowed and replied: "Before leaving the Duchy of Standing, President Xu came to me in private and asked me to bring a message to Your Majesty."

"Say."

"President Xu said that although it seems that the Luerxun Kingdom is in crisis this time, it is actually a very good opportunity. Similarly, this is also an opportunity for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce."

"that's it?"

"Well, that's all."

King Trutz fell silent. After thinking for a while, he looked at the letter in his hand, pondered for a while, and seemed to think of something, and smiled slightly.

"Very good. It seems that Chairman Xu's ambition is much greater than I imagined. That's very good."

Newman raised his head and glanced at King Trutz in surprise, thinking that perhaps it was precisely because Xu Yi and His Majesty the King were very ambitious people that they had reached such a consensus on this matter.

After the outbreak of the conflict with the Candela Empire this time, the entire Luerson Kingdom was almost in a state of panic, and everyone was panicked, for fear that the Candela Empire would launch the most severe punishment against the Luerson Kingdom because of this incident. Take revenge, and even directly destroy the entire Rulson Kingdom.

In this case, what King Trutz did for the first time was not thinking about how to restore the impact of this incident. Seeking the understanding of the Kandela Empire. Instead, it actively launched a series of mobilization actions in the Kingdom of Rulson. It seems that they are ready to officially go to war with the Candela Empire.

Because of these actions of King Trutz, many aristocratic lords in the Rulson Kingdom became more panicked. For a time, there was an undercurrent in the kingdom. Countless noble ministers expressed to King Trutz through various channels that they hoped to be able to cooperate with the Candela Empire. Reach a settlement, and don't want to really go to war with the Candela Empire.

However, King Trutz simply dismissed this and continued to carry out various preparations for war.

If it were placed in other small countries, the whole country would be in complete chaos at this moment, but in the Kingdom of Luerxun. The royal family represented by King Trutz has always had absolute control over the entire Rulson Kingdom, and other nobles cannot affect the general situation of the kingdom at all.

Now that King Trutz is determined, the other nobles in the kingdom have nothing to do, and some nobles even secretly moved their entire family out of the Rulson Kingdom, as if to avoid disaster.

King Trutz was well aware of these things happening in the kingdom, but he didn't seem to have seen them at all, and he didn't care about them at all. Instead, he focused most of his attention on preparations for war, and the other half on new affairs. Fei Chamber of Commerce.

When the border guards of the Rulson Kingdom clashed with the border guards of the Candela Empire because of smuggling merchants, King Trutz immediately proposed a series of preferential terms to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. In order to obtain the support of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in military magic machinery.

Now that the real conflict broke out between the two sides, King Trutz immediately sent Newman, who was most familiar with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, to the Principality of Standing. On his behalf, he had a contact meeting with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

It should be said that the results of the meeting with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce this time were very unsatisfactory.

Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce still entertained Newman as usual, Newman could clearly feel that this time the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the high-level officials he had contacted seemed a bit perfunctory. When it comes to cooperation matters, whether it is the CEO Kennard or other high-level chambers of commerce, they often talk about other things at their own discretion, changing the topic, and just refuse to discuss in depth.

And when Newman wanted to discuss the continued purchase of large quantities of military magic machinery, Kennard and other high-level executives of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce showed an attitude that could be described as cold.

After staying in the Principality of Standing for a full week, Newman fully understood the attitude of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Obviously, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has scruples about the possibility of the Rulson Kingdom going to war with the Candela Empire this time, and is unwilling to intervene in it, and is even more unwilling to offend the Candela Empire for supporting the Rulson Kingdom.

This result was not too unexpected for Newman. Before he came to the Principality of Standing, this result had already been deduced from the discussions within the Kingdom of Rulson.

After all, compared to the behemoth of the Candela Empire, the Rulson Kingdom is really insignificant.

Even if Newman was placed in the same position as Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he would still have the same attitude that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce experienced now.

However, just when Newman was about to leave the Duchy of Standing in disappointment, Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, who had never been on the road, suddenly appeared in front of Newman.

Xu Yi didn't talk too much with Newman in private, but just handed him a letter addressed to King Trutz and asked him to bring a word to King Trutz.

However, just because of this letter and one sentence, King Trutz, who was gloomy because of the attitude of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, immediately regained his strong self-confidence.

This made Newman very strange.

His Majesty's attitude suddenly changed. It is obvious that Xu Yi expressed his support for the Luerxun Kingdom in the letter.

But since Xu Yi supported the Luerxun Kingdom, why did the high-level executives of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce show such a repulsive attitude when they met Xu Yi?

Could it be that they, the high-level executives of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and Xu Yi, the chairman, don't have the same idea?

But if this is the case, doesn't it mean that Xu Yi's control over the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has serious problems, so that those high-level chambers of commerce openly disagree with Xu Yi?

But in this way, the problem is even more serious, because even if Xu Yi made some promises to His Majesty the King in the letter, I am afraid that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce may not really fulfill it.

So what's the point of Xu Yi asking him to bring back this letter and this sentence?

However, King Trutz didn't seem to have thought about these issues at all, after reading the letter and knowing what Xu Yi said. become spiritual. Also full of confidence. This is so amazing.

The only explanation is that Xu Yi asked Newman to bring back some things that Newman didn't understand in the letter, which restored His Majesty's confidence in Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

"Newman." King Trutz suddenly shouted softly, interrupting Newman's meditation.

"Ah? Ah, Your Majesty, do you have any orders?"

"In a few days, there may be a delegation from the Chamber of Commerce of the Lampari Kingdom. You will be responsible for the reception. You must entertain them well. Do you understand?"

Newman was startled again.

Why did you suddenly talk about the Chamber of Commerce delegation from the Lampari Kingdom?

And why never heard of it before?

When his eyes fell on the letter in King Trutz's hand, Newman's heart moved.

Could this be what Xu Yi said in the letter?

But what does this have to do with the support of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that His Majesty the King needs?

The bright autumn sun shone on the Endless Sea. Although it didn't seem to be able to steam the entire surface of the sea as hot as it was in midsummer, it still made the entire surface of the sea shimmer with dazzling light, making it almost impossible to look directly at it.

Russell stood on the front deck of a frigate in the middle of the fleet, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the far end of the sea level. Through the report of the captain of the frigate next to him, he determined that if calculated according to the position on the parallel land, he had already crossed the sea level at this time. The border line between the Candela Empire and the Rulson Kingdom officially entered the sea area of ​​the Rulson Kingdom.

In fact, the concept of the so-called sea area. It didn't even exist in Russell's mind before.

What sea area is not the sea area, where the imperial navy can reach. That is the territory of the empire!

However, since the appearance of the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, this concept has gradually spread through the continuous ocean voyages of the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the transport fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

According to the concept of the sea area proposed by the escort fleet of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, extending 20 kilometers from the coastline covered by each country's territory to the sea, that is the official sea area of ​​each country, which is equivalent to the territory.

Entering the waters of other countries is equivalent to invading territory.

So if calculated according to this concept, in fact, the third fleet of the Candela Empire Navy led by Russell has already invaded the exclusive sea area of ​​​​the Luerson Kingdom at this time, which is equivalent to invading the territory of the Luerson Kingdom.

But... so what?

This time Russell led the Imperial Navy's only three frigates and up to fifty Thunder-class battleships in the Third Fleet. The original purpose was to invade the Luerson Kingdom.

According to the strategy formulated by the Imperial Army, the fleet led by Russell will go ashore in the south of the Rulson Kingdom, launch an attack all the way north, and finally meet at the capital of the Rulson Kingdom, Kulaka City, and the land of the Empire, and then in one fell swoop. Sweep the daring little country of the Rulson Kingdom into the dust of history.

No one in the empire would have any doubts about this plan, because in the eyes of everyone, the small country of the Rulson Kingdom has no ability to compete with the empire. The only option they can minimize their losses is not to do it. Any resistance, surrender obediently, and become a vassal of the empire from then on.

But since the conflict between the two countries broke out, this damn small country has never shown any signs of softening, and even their king has been actively preparing for war.

This greatly stimulated the self-esteem of the generals in the imperial army.

How dare this small country dare to resist!

It just so happened that the army of the empire hadn't really experienced combat for nearly twenty years, so this time the military department simply took this as an opportunity to train troops, and not only dispatched as many as five legions in one go, but more than 50,000 elite soldiers , also dispatched the Imperial Navy as a response.

The purpose, of course, is to solve this arrogant small country with a thunderous force, and once again confirm the supreme majesty of the empire on this continent!

However, when Russell's eyes fell into the distance, there was always a trace of uneasiness in his heart.

Can the plan of the military department be achieved so smoothly this time?

At this moment, he saw a dozen high-speed steel ships suddenly appear on the distant sea level. (To be continued..)
