CH.13 Cronin's Negotiations

"Tell me, what exactly are you going to do with the deal?" Arya said in a calm tone, looking at Cronin in front of him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"It seems that there are still smart people. Cronin breathed a sigh of relief, "I think everyone should know that since the invasion of the demons, the countries of the entire continent have concentrated their respective armies and formed a human united army to fight against the demons. ”

"Go on. ”

"As the Chamber of Commerce with the largest number of airships and convoys in the continent, under the direction of President Baron, almost all of its transportation capacity has been put into providing logistics for the Combine Forces. ”

"What do you mean. ”

"Although resisting the demons is the obligation of all human beings in the whole continent, don't you think that President Baron is a little too enthusiastic? Transportation capacity is the lifeblood of the chamber of commerce's operation, and investing all the capacity means that the chamber of commerce's own profits will also be affected, and it is a huge impact, and almost everyone here is losing money to provide their own transportation capacity, isn't it?"

"Now for the exceptional circumstances ... ”

"So what? We are merchants, not charities, and we could have amassed a lot of wealth by charging the countries a lot of money for the transportation of supplies, and we could have resold the materials of war. ”

"Loot while it's hot?"

"That's right. ”

"However, although President Baron provides transportation capacity to various countries for free, for the Chamber of Commerce, our control over the entire continent is also deepening, and now with the help of controlling the logistics and transportation of the entire battlefield, we are equivalent to controlling the entire continent in disguise. ”

"That's why President Baron died at the hands of the Assassins. ”

"What did you say!?"

"The Chamber of Commerce Alliance, which had always been neutral and had never interfered in power, suddenly wanted to use the war to control the entire continent, which would undoubtedly shake the balance of power on the entire continent. Although the current situation seems that all countries are united against the demons, but in private, each country has its own ideas, and the rise of the power of the Chamber of Commerce is bound to cause disgust among all countries. ”

"Do you mean that President Baron is putting the Chamber of Commerce in a very dangerous situation?"

"Yes, for us businessmen, profit maximization is the most important thing, but once you stick your feet into areas that you shouldn't go, it will naturally lead to death, and in this assassination, another organization was also involved. ”

"Is it a temple?"

Cronin didn't answer, just nodded silently. The originally quiet scene exploded in an instant. Everyone began to talk about it in private, because they knew very well that as the largest and strongest force organization on the continent, even a powerful country like Altinia or Albania would not dare to rashly oppose it, and its own power could almost represent the consciousness of the entire continent. A hint of gloom appeared on everyone's faces.

"Give me all the silence!!" Aria shouted loudly. At the same time, he turned his gaze to Cronin, "Are you sure this matter has anything to do with the Temple?"

"Quite simply, the reason why Nightmare was able to carry out the assassination was very much related to the Templars' secret reporting, and the biggest mistake President Baron made was to turn to the Templars for help, and he didn't realize that he was already a thorn in the temple's side at this time. ”

"So now that we have a basic grasp of the status quo, do you mean that the Templars already regard us as potential enemies?"

"Yes, it's nice to be so easy to understand. ”

"So tell me what you want to do with us. ”

"Then I'll be blunt, endorse me as the new President, I'll rework the Chamber of Commerce's logistical support for the Coalition forces, and I'll go to the Temple in person to show them that we don't have any plans to expand, and redistribute the resources left over from the death of the Elders. ”

"What! support you as president!No way!you rebellious bastard!" Sabbati scolded Cybaty, who had been trapped by magic.

"Shut up, old fool, you don't understand the current situation at all!"

"Do you want to be the president?" Aria pondered. The other elders also looked hesitant.

"Don't be bound by boring emotions, Baron's death is a must, if I don't make a move, he will be targeted by others sooner or later, and it may not be these elders who will be implicated at that time, but the entire Chamber of Commerce Alliance, everyone is a businessman, this interest relationship should always be clear, right? ”

"There seems to be some truth to this, and all the badges are in your hands, and if you inherit the position of president, it seems to be in line with the rules that have been set before. Aria whispered.

The other elders at the scene also nodded one after another.

"Rebel!!!Do such a rebellious thing, and still want to become the president! I will not allow such a thing to happen!"

"Father, stop being obsessed, do you really want to see the Chamber of Commerce and the Temple clash head-on? ”

"Damn... Facing Cronin, Sebati hung his head unwillingly.

"Well, you managed to convince me. Aria slowly raised his hand, "I recognize you as the new president of the Chamber of Commerce." ”

"I agreed. ”

"Me too. ”

Several other elders also raised their hands one after another.

"Then from now on, Cronin is appointed as the new president of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. Aria turned and announced to everyone present......
