The Putau coast in early spring. The harbor was covered with a white veil, and the white ice floating on the sea surface floated up and down with the sea, and a floating ice floe suddenly cracked, and the huge black anchor tore the ice open, "Boom! Boom!"

"Set sail!"

Countless sailors were busy on the deck of the battleship, heavy anchors were pulled up, huge hulls tore through the calm seas, whew! The sails above the Imperial battleship were quickly raised layer by layer on the mast, and the fierce sea breeze blew like a hemisphere, and the huge hull of the dragon-class battleship located outside the harbor swayed like a giant beast in the sea that suddenly woke up from the morning light, and the sides were draped in a row of raised muzzle baffles like giant beast dragon scales, and the long ramming horns of the fierce sword tore through the fog in front like a spear, and the bow of the ship was unstoppable in the sea

"Use it all, salute Your Majesty!"

The commander of the Imperial Navy, Dustrunkay, was in the last waiting ship. He stood straight on the side of the ship, put his hand on his chest, and saluted the falcon majesty who came to see him off on the dock of the military port

"Long live the Falcon Majesty, the glory of the empire will shine forever!" the voices of tens of thousands of people rolled in the sky above the harbor like muffled thunder, and the fat man raised his hand in response. On January 30, after receiving the news that the Congo-Africa negotiations had broken down, the Imperial fleet remaining in the Putau area began to leave port.

The one hundred and thirty warships of all kinds of the Empire, commanded by the Imperial Navy Minister Dustrunkay, were loaded with 21,000 sailors and equipped with a huge fleet of 2,400 naval thunder gods, like wolves rushing out of the black lair after recuperating their energy, splitting the sea in front of them, until they gradually turned into small black dots, "How is the situation in Gangfei?" The fat man turned and walked towards the waiting carriage in the distance. casually asked a person behind him, "The situation on the Gangfei side is not good," Lidastov, the leader of the Imperial Eagle Dogs, said cautiously, "They have achieved a military alliance with the Central European Barrow countries, and at sea, the Strand Navy announced in a high-profile manner a few days ago that it would join the Gangfei camp,

"Her Royal Highness the Princess a day ago, the application was postponed until the sixth day to return to China"

A middle-aged man with a grim face who followed behind the fat man said with a hesitant expression, "Your Majesty, with all due respect,. The subordinates thought that the princess had handled it inappropriately, and the negotiations had broken down, indicating that war could break out at any time. Her Royal Highness the Princess is staying for a long time, and there is a little more risk,......" "Although there is a risk, it will not be too much of a problem!"

"In this matter, Turit Colin's approach is correct!" The fat man, who was very relieved of the little witch's ability, just shook his head, "Gang Fei people don't dare to do anything to her, but if the negotiations break down, Her Royal Highness the princess will hurry back, but for Gang Fei people to say that our imperial army will attack soon." On the contrary, now, there must be tension to the death within the Congo and Africa, and according to the current situation in the Republic of Kong, although they have obtained the so-called military alliance. In fact, it is tantamount to tying one's own hands and feet, and the obligations of military alliances are defensive in nature, that is, when it is not a foreign invasion. This military alliance is meaningless" "When it is not a foreign invasion?" Lidastov listened with a blank expression, what does it mean that it is not a foreign invasion? "What do you think I asked Princess Turit to go for?"

The fat man smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth and opened the car door in front of him. Walked in and sat down, Lidastov sat down opposite,

There were not many people in the streets in the morning, and horse-drawn carriages marched through the newly planned and established city on the ruins of the former capital of Putau.

Along the central line road as the backbone, more than a dozen large and small areas are divided into large and small areas on both sides, including residential urban areas, port areas, business circles, and trade areas......

The whole city can be said to be made up of countless squares. There is a square in the center of those high-end residential areas, and the intersection of commercial connections that are strung together everywhere is also a giant square, and even in the relatively low-end residential areas, there will be a small square in it.

They used to display statues in the square. The large squares can be described as exhibitions of sculptures of all kinds, and the medium-sized squares, although there are not so many statues, the sculptures displayed there are better than those displayed in the main squares in terms of subject matter and artistic value. Even the smallest squares do not forget to place a common statue such as the goddess of the earth in the middle. But it's all cheap and cheap made of ordinary stone. "Didn't Your Majesty let the princess put pressure on the Gang Fei people?" Lidastov showed a surprised look on the other side, "Pressure?Yes, most people think the same way, but as the top person in charge of the empire's intelligence, it would be a big mistake for you to think so" The fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth, looked out the window, and admired the various sculptures outside the carriage, due to the different environments in which each person lives, everyone's taste for sculpture is completely different,

The fat man even saw a bust of himself inside, juxtaposed with a statue of the god of the sea holding a trident, although the statue could not see the whole face, but he was wearing the helmet of the god of war, and his shoulders were stretched back with two iron wings stretched together, like the legendary god of war,

In fact. With the cultural infiltration and vigorous propaganda of the empire in the Putao region, merchants from the north were more accustomed to calling their emperor His Majesty "the god of war and commerce", just like the sea god worshipped by the Putao people who lived on the coast

The fat man's gaze also stayed on the statue for a while, a little interesting, holding a gorgeous sword with a cross gauntlet in one hand, holding a golden scale representing commerce in the other, and wearing a fat statue on his head that covers most of his face, but can still make him feel the huge pressure clearly, that is, "This image is good!" The fat man is a little complacent, leaning on himself like a god, and it can indeed play a role in glorifying the fact of aggression, just like the name of many wars of aggression launched in later generations, which has to claim to overthrow the evil notice of the other side and liberate all the people.

He turned his head, knocked his hand on the table, and said to Lidastov opposite, "Many people think that Her Royal Highness the princess is there to exert pressure, but in fact, they are all wrong, the princess went for only one purpose, that is, to let Gangfei kill her own people in order to cover up." Let the Gangfei people make a fatal mistake under great pressure,

The fat man's voice paused, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "And in fact, Gang Feiren really couldn't bear the pressure, and he gave the order to slaughter that night, and more than 4,000 officers and soldiers of the Ninth Army were executed intensively, but unfortunately, Gang Feiren thought that he was doing it very skillfully, but they forgot one thing, they had already issued an order of pardon in front of everyone. That's 4,000 innocent officers who have been pardoned, and everyone can see that those officers and soldiers of the Ninth Army are simply the people of Gangfei, but in the face of these extremely loyal soldiers, Emperor Gangfei is now just to escape the pressure, and he brazenly ordered the secret execution of everyone, which is tantamount to a slap in the face for Emperor Gangfei. You have thought that once this news spreads, for the Gangfei Empire that has just gotten a breather, it will be tantamount to a storm that is enough to lift off the foundation of the country!"

Lidastov's face changed slightly when he heard this. He gasped, and as the head of intelligence, he immediately realized what this so-called storm was, and said in a trembling tone, "Merkaya who caused the 1.12 incident." It was a young faction in the Gangfei Southern Army, who had a great feat in defending Kyoto, but was sent to the south because of injustice. Moreover, the treatment of the non-southern army has always been worse than that of the northern army, and most of the officers sent to the southern army are similar to the nature of exile, and now there has been another incident of massacring officers and men of the Ninth Army Corps.

"Yes, as long as the 200,000 southern troops of the Congo Empire are confused by their own emperor's order, that is when we take the southern port area of Gangfei in one fell swoop" The fat man's satisfied eyes narrowed into a line, and he suddenly turned his head to look out the window at the carriage passing through the twelve most famous long gates of Lisbonto,

These 12 huge gates made of white marble commemorate the warriors who died in pursuit of independence during the Putau War, and each triumphal arch is carved with reliefs around it. The graceful curves of the curves and the white marble floor make even the fat man an aesthetically vulgar person who is exceptionally tolerant of this.

The Putao War ended with the victory of the Falcon Empire, and the forces of the Gangfei people completely withdrew from the Putao because of that war, losing nearly 100,000 people, and the Falcon Empire suffered more than 20,000 casualties, and the ashes of some soldiers were sent back to their hometowns, and the ashes of more soldiers were buried under these twelve long gates.

New Lisbento, as the most important settlement and strategic support point of the empire in the Putau region,

After months of population influx, Lisbonto has already surpassed the prosperity of the past dynasties, leading to the twelve long gates of Guò and along the streets of high-end residential areas, you can see one or two beautifully decorated hotels or cafes from time to time.

Two or three well-dressed customers sat and rested. Sit back and taste the local food,

Completely different from the tense atmosphere last month because of the war, the Falcon Empire's army first arrived at the thunderous power of Putao, and in the first battle, it defeated Baluta, which is known as the first fortress of Gangfei against the Putao area, and completely stabilized the turbulent situation.

As the situation quickly calmed down, the originally panicked business began to recover, and in the famous commercial street, all kinds of shops opened on both sides of the street. Since it is located at the hub of the north and south seas, commodities from all over the world. There are a lot of fat people who don't even recognize well-informed. The fat man even saw the goods from the East in Central Belgium when he occasionally skimmed it. fine porcelain and ornate silks,

Compared to the high-end shopping malls with golden walls, the small bazaars in the quiet alleys are filled with stalls of small goods worth only one or two silver coins. People will try their best to decorate these stalls, such as planting flowers around the stalls or tying two ribbons for those stalls. After such decoration, those humble stalls show their vigorous vitality,

There are even ...... Perfume?

The fat man's eyes blinked, he was not very sure, he saw a bottle of crystal clear glass water that was placed behind the window as the treasure of the town, but it was the size of a bottle in his hand, and it contained a dark green liquid, and the price was an appalling ten thousand gold coins, even the fat man looked a little staggered, which madman marked the price

"Stop!"

The fat man seemed to think of something, and knocked on the roof of the carriage to stop it. If that kind of thing is really a perfume, I have to buy some myself, this thing is killed by all kinds of women, I have a lot of wives, plus lovers, disciples, it is estimated that it will take twenty or thirty, the fat man was taken aback by this conclusion, twenty or thirty ...... That's not hundreds of thousands of gold coins...... He is already very self-disciplined, and those emerging giants in the empire. There are groups of wives and concubines, many outrageous ones abound, and among the twelve deacons of the business alliance, there is one who has thirty-nine wives and countless lovers.

This is an era of commercial rise, and it is also a war-torn world with a life like grass, in the conquest of the Jin Ge Iron Horse. How many centuries of aristocratic tycoons fell to the dust. How many noble women have become treasures of the powerful, especially in this era. This expensive thing is not very good, but the name is also good "Incense and Beauty!" "What's the matter?" asked the secret agent Lidastov with a nervous expression, after all, this is a war zone. It is inevitable that there will always be some radicals against the Falcon Empire, most of these people are Putao natives, and their slogan is that Putao should belong to the Putao people, and the Falcon Empire get out. The empire has never been soft on such people, some time ago. The Ministry of Supervision cut off the heads of nineteen radicals in one go, and there was still a leader, ready to wait until the Falcon Majesty Xià, and then specially allowed His Majesty to ask His Majesty Xià "Ahem!" The fat man did not speak, but pointed to the shop with his finger pù "There is something wrong with this shop, you go and investigate! Who is the owner of this shop!" "Yes...... Got it, Your Majesty!" The secret agent looked suddenly, nodded, and sure enough, he was a professional enough dogleg, with a few black-clothed subordinates, and walked towards the store with a fierce attitude, and a few minutes later, the secret agent walked out with a not very good-looking face, but he carried a bunch of large bags and small bags in his hand, and it seemed that he had gained a lot of money, "Your Majesty, this shop belongs to Varisian's!" The secret agent described the situation in the store with an unkind face,

As soon as he entered the door, he met Varisian, the two of them knew each other, so they took a photo in the store, as soon as Varisien saw that it was the Empire's number one spy leader who walked into his store, Varisien was also a little stupid, after understanding that the other party was just here to buy perfume, Varisien didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and directly threw out a third of the inventory, whether it was a bribe, or even if it was a kuài to send this plague god away, "Varisian ...... That guy was injured in the Battle of Rasti and took half a year's marriage leave, how could he be here?" the fat man was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly suddenly realized, yes, how could he forget that the fierce man who can make perfume in this era, except for Hutu Emma, who is known as the first alchemist, who else can there be,

That's an old guy who even dared to tinker with aphrodisiacs when he was down, and he is absolutely a real authority on the mixing of various materials and the distillation technology with a high melting point.

And Varisian seems to have married Hutu Emma's daughter...... In the battle of Rasti, both of them were injured a lot, because the losses were too large, and the key prey Hasenlampo jumped out of the encirclement, and Varisian, who led the army to fight desperately, did not get too much military merit, and it seemed that he was a little disheartened, "No, is it possible that a generation of fierce generals of the empire has been reduced to selling perfumes?"

The corners of the fat man's mouth twitched slightly, and he stepped down from the carriage and walked towards the shop.

"Your Majesty!" Lidastov shouted, and hurriedly followed with a dozen of his subordinates, pushing open the grid door made of thin copper bars, and a noisy and noisy sound came to him, and the fat man stood in front of the foyer, and saw Varisian, dressed as the owner of the shop, introducing something to several female guests,

The whole shop is divided into two parts, front and back, and a row of high stools is placed in front of the counter.

The fat man walked over and sat down in one of the seats, leaning against the wall around him, lined up with rows of high-backed chairs and long wooden tables. There are rows of glass bottles on it, not all of which are perfumes, and the shop in front of you is more like a drugstore. The apothecary store where the old guy sells aphrodisiacs...... The fat man looked at Varisian, who was eagerly introducing the goods to the beautiful female customer, and didn't know whether to laugh or smoke this bastard, who would have thought that the middle-aged man in front of him who was introducing the goods with a flattering face was a dignified imperial general, killing people like hemp, and a super lucky general who had killed two kings,

"Boss, you're not honest enough, you can't even take a little perfume to take in the bath!" came the fat man's faint voice, "My lord!" Varisin's body froze, as if he had been struck by lightning, and the look on his face was almost like he had been caught and raped.

When he was there in a daze, one of the beautiful girls in front of him came over very eagerly, "Your Excellency, do you have the perfume in your hand? Can I take a look?" The boss said that all the perfumes have just been sold out, and the next batch will have to wait a month to arrive, I need to use it urgently, if I can...... I hope Your Excellency can resell me some" The girl said with a nervous expression, as if she was afraid that the fat man would not agree, and said in an accentuated tone, "I am from the Papri family, money is not a problem, resell it to me, and the Papli family will remember Your kindness!" "Of course no problem, 10,000 gold coins a bottle!" The fat man waved his hand slightly, and Lidastov put the bag in his hand on the table, which was full of twenty or thirty bottles, "Oh, my God! It turned out to be the highest grade Borush Xiangfei Lu! This is a bottle of 30,000 gold coins!" "Hearing that there was a perfume here, all the other guests from the inner hall also rushed over, and all the people who could come here were rich people, but their eyes were green when they looked at the green liquid shaking in the perfume bottle in the bag,

Immediately, a wealthy merchant who came with his lover shouted, "10,000 gold coins a bottle, yes, I want them all!"

"No, I'll give you 20,000 gold coins for a bottle, and I'll take them all!" shouted the other, not to be outdone.

"It's 10,000 when it changes hands, whoever we are fools, I'll give 28,000 gold coins a bottle"!

Hearing the quotations of these wealthy businessmen higher than one another, the girl who was in desperate need was also anxious, and said in a trembling voice, "I really need a bottle of perfume, just a bottle, but I don't have that much money with me, can I wait, my people will be able to deliver it soon, this bottle of perfume can save my brother!" (To be continued......)
