Engaging in double standards is the right of only big countries, because both the voice and the fist of the big powers are much greater than the effect, the former is a weapon of criticism, and the latter is a weapon of criticism. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, this is only in the face of small countries, Chamberlain's ultimate goal is to make France want to die, and complete the first step of the internal integration of human society, and although France is mired in internal friction and the throne is vacant, it is not much different from the alliance in terms of size, and it is still a lose-lose situation if it is serious.

Therefore, Chamberlain's sentence "aristocratic rights and interests are greater than sovereignty" did not dare to shout it in the speech at all, so this made him feel a little less guilty about Europe and the United States in Kyushu in his conscience.

However, there are still a lot of kinship relationships under the aristocratic system, "brother cousin, brother cousin, broken bones and tendons", with blood as a breakthrough, whether it is from the written law of the human aristocracy in the pan-continent, or from the unspoken rules, it is too good to be a good excuse.

So on the second day after the meeting of the League House of Nobles, the head of the Violet family, who was in charge of purchasing the Black Iron Alligator skin, found Viscount Samuel of the Autonomous City-State of Blackwater Fjord, who was the most powerful person in the entire city-state except for the city lord, Count Mufit.

"Oh Gabi, my dear friend, you don't come to me very often." Viscount Samuel greeted the person in charge of the Violet family, with a smile on his face, although the other party did not have a title, but the aura of the Violet family and the huge amount of money in his hands were still qualified to be on an equal footing with him.

Gabby was also smiling: "I came to you this time, but for a big business, in the entire Blackwater Fjord, no one is more suitable for this business than you." ”

Viscount Samuel's eyes lit up at that time: "What kind of business?" ”

This city-state is just the size of a viscount, in addition to the specialties of the Blackwater Swamp, it can barely be self-sufficient in food, there is really not much oil and water, and the lord deserves the title of an earl, or is it because this piece belongs to a high-risk buffer zone, there is no private plane, what resources can be had with such a territory alone?

"You must have heard about that incident in the north." Gabby looked at Viscount Samuel and said.

The matter in the north, that is, the assassination of the League preacher, is not a secret in Blackwater Fjord, which always keeps an eye on the movements of the Carlisle Kingdom.

Viscount Samuel nodded: "Of course I know, it's not a trivial matter, is there any action on the part of the alliance?" ”

"I also just got the news, but it's only on the business side, our Violet family is going to expand the production capacity of leather armor, and today's business is also related to this." Gabi said very blandly, "The Council of Lords of the Alliance held a meeting yesterday and has decided to send more troops to the south. ”

This kind of matter to be discussed at the Council of Nobles is a signboard for cooking, and it is not a secret, so naturally there is no leakage of secrets, Viscount Samuel's eyes flashed: "The Violet family wants to collect a large number of black iron alligator skins?" This is not easy, once the St. Rhine League increases its troops in this direction, our small autonomous city-state will definitely be in chaos first. ”

Although he is only a viscount, he can be the second-in-command of a small force, Samuel is not a fool, the relationship between the Carlisle Kingdom and the alliance is called an iron one, even if it is really someone inside the Carlisle Kingdom who does it, then it is necessary to put the black cauldron on the heads of some small countries nearby, or even directly the French Empire, and then create tensions, and then small-scale conflicts, the upper nobles make a lot of war money, and the lower nobles and lower commoners are ruined.

"I'm just a businessman working for the Violet family." Gabby showed a helpless smile, "The news I can get is only from the master's family, so I don't know how big the alliance plans to make things happen this time, but my friend, we have been doing business for so long, when have I ever cheated you?" ”

The more Gabi said, the brighter Viscount Samuel's eyes became: "Don't worry, this time, because the amount of harvest is three times that of the past, and the demand is urgent, the purchase price that the master gave me has risen by three percent compared with the past." ”

Three times the goods, thirty percent of the price, the benefits are self-evident, but Viscount Samuel's eyes quickly dimmed: "The goods I have here are only half of the quantity you want, if you want more, I'm afraid you have to wait a little longer, this month is the breeding period of alligators, and you know, and the half-plane passage was pinched by the greedy vampire of Famas." ”

Strictly speaking, the black iron alligator is not the aboriginal of the black water swamp, but a strong race in a half-plane connected by the black water swamp, a huge number, according to rumors, there is a holy level black dragon sleeping there, its breath makes the half-plane creatures mutate, become fierce and aggressive, the formation of the black water swamp is also related to it, of course, there are rumors about the black dragon, but for so many years there has been no big force to develop that half-plane, it seems to explain a certain situation.

"I'm afraid it won't work, my friend." Gabby blinked, showing a regretful expression, "The Violet family doesn't have that much time to wait, the order I got is to gather this batch of goods within a month, whether it is the order of the family's private army, or the order of the alliance military department and the family's allies, it has been pressed in the workshop, if you really don't have so much leather, I can only go to that vampire in Famas's for help." ”

Famas is the lord of this city-state, holding the passage to the half-plane, and also holding the most lucrative financial income, although Viscount Samuel is the second largest force in the city-state, but compared with his power, it is about the gap between the turtle and Su Xiu.

Seeing that the gold coins in his hand were about to fly, Viscount Samuel gritted his teeth: "A month is a month, I will let the people below try their best to catch it, but I need to raise the price, damn, this season's black iron alligator is very violent, I need to dispatch the most elite army under my command." ”

When the black iron alligator breeds, it will try to choose a place close to that half-plane, or even go directly back to that half-plane, which is the strongest place for Count Famas, and if you want to hunt at this time, the conflict between the two sides is already predictable.

"Half a percent float, that's my limit." Satisfied, Gabby shook his fingers, "Of course, if you can get more leather, I will apply to the family and buy it at a higher price." ”

Viscount Samuel nodded and stretched out his right hand: "Happy cooperation." ”

Gabby also stretched out his hand and shook it with him: "Happy cooperation." ”
