Chapter 104: Plan Ahead

Thassarian's refusal was at best a little displeasure to Aureliano, and Becker's words really made him feel a little irritated that things were completely out of control.

The Glitter Gold Chamber of Commerce is just an organization of local merchants who have formed together to open up foreign markets, and Aureliano does not care about it, although there are not many such chambers of commerce in the Kingdom of Kalmar, but they are not unique.

The Buendia family has been operating in Navia City, the political and economic center of the kingdom, for a long time, and their influence on central policy is not comparable to that of local merchants like Sassarian, and the huge maritime illegal armed group that Becker actually controls can turn the route that the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce usually takes into a dangerous road full of death and crisis, and their cooperation can easily make it difficult for the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce to move an inch, thus falling apart.

Therefore, Aureliano can say that Sassarian's attitude is insignificant at all, because the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce is a guild composed of many forces, not completely one-minded, the Chamber of Commerce is just a loose alliance formed by businessmen in order to open up the market and seek more benefits, and the president can't say anything in the Chamber of Commerce, when facing the above dilemma, the merchants of the Chamber of Commerce will naturally gather in front of the new core again.

But all this was possible if Aureliano and Becker joined forces.

Aureliano, an otherworldly version of the Gentleman, is similar to many of his kind in the other world, surrounded by characters of the Three Sects and Nine Ranks, and he is also connected to some "dynamic community organizations", but this can only help him to do some things that are not on the table on weekdays, and it is obviously impossible to block the shipping route of a chamber of commerce at sea.

Therefore, Becker's cooperation is actually the key to the viability of the Aureliano plan.

It's just that Aureliano obviously doesn't have the habit of asking for help, so he takes the initiative to lower his posture, and when he hears Becker's words, his first reaction is not to try to convince, but to be angry.

"What did you say?" Aureliano then barely suppressed the anger on his face and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"I still have a lot of things to do in the branch, the most important thing is to train recruits, I don't have much energy to cooperate with you, not to mention that before the recruits are trained, I can't deploy enough manpower in the naval base, how can I complete the plan?" Becker spread his hands noncommittally.

"Besides," Aureliano was about to say something, but Becker pushed back, and he looked at Aureliano playfully with his wine glass, "Your mouth is too big, and you don't think about the consequences, I don't want to cooperate with you." ”

"Are you worried that Thassarian will tell you about your relationship with the pirates? Don't worry about the consequences, I've already thought about whether he'll get the word out or not. ”

"No, you haven't thought about the real consequences," Becker said, standing up to Aureliano's gloomy gaze, approaching him, smiling and patting him on the shoulder, with a look of intimacy, "You didn't take my opinion into account." ”

"I tried my best to join the Navy, and I haven't had a bounty from Bailey until now, I just don't want my relationship with pirates to drag down my status as an official, but you directly broke my story in front of a stranger today, to be honest, I'm not very happy."

"When the pirates made me understand a truth, that is, using violent means to directly destroy the body is the most effective and fastest way to eliminate the people who make me unhappy, and the reason why I rarely use this method now is because I still have an official identity, if my identity is exposed and everyone knows, then my forbearance is not necessary, pirates don't know what the overall situation is and what is compromise, pirates only know how to kill, do you understand?"

Aureliano forced himself to say, "You think I'll be scared if you say a few words?" This is the royal city of the kingdom of Kalmar, and I, as the heir of the Buendia family, am afraid of a pirate threat? Joke! ”

"I'm not a talker."

Becker removed his hand from Aureliano's shoulder, patted the other party's cheek, which had unconsciously turned slightly white, made a "pop, pop" sound, and said with a smile: "If I say that I want to chop a man up and throw it into the sea to feed the fish, then I will definitely chop him to pieces." ”

Aureliano didn't know whether he was angry or frightened, his face was a little pale, his lips were tightly pursed, and he did not respond to Becker's words.

Becker shook his head, said "Thank you for your hospitality," and swaggered away.

When Becker's footsteps disappeared in the corridor, Aureliano, who had been immobile as if he had been immobilized, angrily slammed the wine glass in his hand on the ground, because he was ashamed of his cowardice just now, so he kept cursing Becker, who had left.

On the other hand, Becker walked out of the manor, and his face was no longer the smiling smile he had when he got along with Aureliano, and he immediately took out the phone bug "Watson", ignored the sycophants who raised his two small short hands and squinted at him with big eyes, and dialed Tony's number.

After a while, Tony answered the phone, and Becker asked directly, "Have you heard of the 'Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce'?" ”

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, and Tony seemed to be deep in thought, before a moment later he said, "I've heard of it." ”

"Pay attention to the recent movements of this chamber of commerce, and also, their president is now in Navia City, you find some people to spy on him secretly, don't attract his attention, and report anything to me in time."

"Understood." Tony said in a streak voice.

In the pirate business, the Morgan Pirates are about to complete their de facto monopoly in the waters around the Kalmar Kingdom, and at this point, what Becker has to do is to integrate the upstream and downstream industries.

This was done partly to capture more profits – Becker was clearly not one to put up with being manipulated by a single dealer – and partly for the sake of a follow-up strategy.

It is obviously unrealistic to let other pirates completely exterminate from the East China Sea, even the world government can't do it, there are so many naval bases in the East China Sea that can't eradicate the pirates, Becker wants to eradicate the pirates, obviously needs an extremely large and bloated maritime armament, and it needs the guidance and change of the environment, system, and atmosphere accumulated over the entire East China Sea.

Therefore, Becker thinks that the more realistic plan is that he controls a pirate group with great deterrent power in the East China Sea, and at the same time relies on the vicious escort of the pirate group to protect the commercial network of distribution and supply under his control to radiate to the East China Sea, and in another way to pinch the economic and material base of other pirates.

Building a business network is much easier and cheaper than raising an armed group across the East China Sea.

This method is also more time-saving and labor-saving than stupidly fighting people around the East China Sea, relying on the threat of force and economic sanctions, you can avoid more casualties, force other pirate groups to join your banner, and form a loose armed group, when the time comes, Becker will find a way to regain people's hearts and minds and level the mountain little by little.
