Chapter 546: Franco's Ambition

Carlos I's wish was a good one, but under the impetus of well-intentioned people, many violent elements with ulterior motives instigated many brainless civilians and launched a large-scale demonstration, they blocked the door of the headquarters of the Chinese Consortium in the Kingdom of Sero Trading Company and threw stones, shouting slogans to expel the yellow race, and attempted to storm the gate.

"General manager, our doors are blocked, what should we do now?" A captain of the escort army hurriedly rushed into the manager's office and asked Huang Weihua.

At this time, he was already the general manager of the Chinese Consortium's trading company in the Western Continent, in charge of all the trade activities of the consortium in the Western Continent, and his rights were comparable to Wu Yu back then, and with the continuous expansion of the Chinese Empire's trade in the Western Continent, his means were even more powerful than Wu Yu.

After the Great War, the economies of various countries have been greatly weaker than the Chinese Empire, and the level of science and technology is far inferior.

In the trade with the Western Continent, he cooperated with the Bank of China, opened the way with various preferential terms for loans, and dumped a large number of high-tech products into various countries, especially after the countries of the Western Continent introduced quantitative easing policies, he intensified his looting, and made a large amount of wealth from various countries into the pockets of the Chinese consortium, causing problems in the economies of various countries in advance, and this is why the economic crisis occurred.

In general, it is not wrong for those people in the Sero Kingdom to think that it was the Chinese Consortium that made their money and caused their poverty, but the Chinese Consortium also paid a lot of taxes, which made Carlos I's finances much more prosperous, which is really difficult to evaluate.

Huang Weihua sighed and said: "I'm sure there must be the shadow of the Boston Empire behind these people, those guys have been killed by us very badly in the past few years, and now they have finally found such an opportunity to incite racism, naturally they will not let it go." ”

The captain said: "General Manager Huang, now is not the time to find out who is behind the scenes, think about how to deal with it." What should we do if those people hit the company? ”

Huang Weihua's eyes flashed and said, "What else can I do?" According to the laws of the Kingdom of Sero, anyone who does not heed the dissuasion to trespass on a private residence and commits activities such as robbery and riot can be shot dead without assuming any responsibility. ”

The captain nodded again and again and said, "It's easy to do with General Manager Huang's words, we will definitely be able to hold here." After saying that, he left without looking back.

A smile appeared on the corner of Huang Weihua's mouth: "The empire's plan is finally about to begin, this time we want to control the entire world, even if the Boston Empire wants to stop it, we will completely destroy it." ”

"All of them, bullets are loaded, and if anyone dares to trespass into the company, they will all be killed." The captain of the escort commanded loudly, and he pulled out his pistol himself. The soldiers who lined up in a horizontal line in the courtyard of the company flattened their submachine guns and pulled their bolts, and even the four machine guns erected on the sandbag positions on both sides of the building gate were also loaded, looking like they were facing a great enemy.

"Everyone rushed in and snatched back our wealth. Don't be afraid, they won't dare shoot. At this time, someone shouted at the back of the line, apparently adding fuel to the fire, trying to escalate the situation.

Several young men in the front were pushed by those behind and staggered into the gate, but the captain, who did not want to cause bloodshed, did not immediately order the troops to open fire, he just shouted: "Those who enter the gate should retreat immediately, or they will be killed." ”

The captain's mercy was not exchanged for gratitude, but the young men thought that the guards were weak and could not shoot at all, and some of them shouted: "Everyone rush, they dare not shoot." ”

Hearing this shout from the front, the people in the back thought that the people in front had rushed into the company and started to loot the property. Afraid that he would go late and have no gain, the people in the back began to squeeze forward desperately, pushing the people in front of him into the door of the company.

Seeing that the guards had not opened fire after entering the gate, the mob became emboldened, and some of them grabbed their sticks and rushed at the guards, while more and more people behind them tried to storm the guards in order to rob them of the untold riches they had imagined.

Seeing that the other side began to storm the defense line of the escort army, the captain knew that if he did not fight back, his side might be overwhelmed by the mob, and he immediately shouted: "Everyone listen to my command and shoot." ”

The well-prepared guards immediately pulled the trigger, and the dense bullets were fired at the mob who wanted to rush to the defensive line, and the mob that rushed to the front directly turned it into a sieve. Then the four machine guns roared in the same way, and the dense crossfire strafed back and forth, tearing everyone who tried to rush up to shreds.

At the sound of the gunshots, the mob went into chaos, and they fled in panic, no longer daring to hope for wealth that did not belong to them. Under the crowd and stampede, more people died than bullets, and by the time the people who stormed the trading company had fled, the ground was full of dead and wounded.

Carlos I wanted to try to maintain stability and suppress the stupid racists, but the violent elements who provoked him ruined his plans. More than 80 of these rioters, who tried to make a fortune, were killed by the guards, and hundreds more died by stampede.

This bloodshed completely intensified the internal contradictions of the Sero Kingdom, and the hatred of the white race towards the yellow race became even higher, and many people who did not know the truth only knew that the people of the Sero Kingdom were killed, but they did not delve into the truth, and as a result, there were more and more people who opposed the China Foundation, but fortunately, they all knew that the strong defense power of the China Consortium was strong, and no one dared to break through again, and there was no violence this time.

The Chinese Consortium did not give any explanation for this situation, and they directly ordered Huang Weihua to withdraw all the trading company locations from the Grand Duchy of Sero and move to the territory of the Yaman Empire. For the departure of the China Foundation, Carlos was furious, and his dream of re-emergence was shattered, and no one would feel good in his heart, but he couldn't complain about the China Foundation, after all, it was the people of his own country who made too much trouble.

Carlos I was not an easy person to give up, in the case of the withdrawal of the Chinese consortium and the great reduction of national taxes, in order to have enough funds to rebuild the industry, he chose to increase the taxes, which caused the dissatisfaction of many people in the country, the situation began to show signs of turmoil, and some careerists hidden in the kingdom of Sero began to move.

"Hello, my name is Aemond." A handsome young man with curly blond hair was standing in the dimly lit living room, and opposite him sat a middle-aged man dressed in the uniform of the general of the Sero Kingdom, who was General Franco, the commander of the Northern Military Region of the Sero Kingdom.

Placing the cigar in his hand on the ashtray, Franco took a sip of the wine in front of him and said, "You are the commercial representative of the Morgan Consortium of the Boston Empire?" ”

Aemond smiled and said, "No. ”

"What?" Franco's hand tightened, and his sharp gaze swept over Edmund, "Do you know what happened to me when he deceived me?" ”

Edmund was not at all worried about Franco's performance, he smiled: "I am also doing this to protect the safety of the general, if you are willing to let me confess, next time I will use the identity of the deputy director of the spy department of the Boston Imperial National Intelligence Department to meet you." ”

"You're official?" Franco's expression slackened significantly: "What did you do when you found me?" ”

Edmund said with a smile: "His Majesty Washington III of our country greatly appreciates the general's talent, and hopes to cooperate with the general to make a little contribution to our white world." Franco was also an extreme white supremacist, and the Boston Imperial Intelligence Agency had an intimate knowledge of his temperament.

Hearing the other party's opening remarks, Franco knew the other party's intentions, and at such a time, don't wait for the conditions: "I don't know what contribution your country can make?" ”

Edmund took a sip of the coffee brought by the waiter and said, "Your Majesty Carlos I is unsuspecting of those barbaric yellow people, and only wants to get enough benefits from the Chinese Empire. Now that the trading companies of the Chinese Empire have been driven out of the kingdom of Sero, he has raised taxes to oppress his own people. For such a faint monarch, it is really not suitable to command a large country, so our Boston Empire supports the general to overthrow the tyranny and establish a new state. ”

Hearing Edmund's words, Franco's eyes lit up: "What do you mean by this, do you want me to rebel?" ”

Edmund shook his head and said, "It can't be called a rebellion, it's just an overthrow of tyranny." ”

Franco's face was instantly covered with frost: "Do you want to support me in overthrowing His Majesty's rule, and then use me as a puppet?" ”

Edmund shook his head: "No, our country is not like using the general as a puppet, all we want is an ally, an ally that is enough to protect the flank of the Nantes Empire." ”

Hearing Edmund's words, Franco's face softened slightly: "If I promise, what support can you give me, and what can I get in return?" ”

Edmund said: "We will provide you with a large number of weapons so that you can arm a strong army, and our country will support you internationally." As for the return, we hope that the general will join the Axis group and become a member of it in due course. ”

Franco looked down and thought for a long time, weighing the pros and cons. As an ambitious person, it is undoubtedly very tempting to reach the pinnacle of the highest power in the kingdom, but it is more than worth the loss to become a puppet because of it. Thinking carefully about the strength in his hands, without the support of the Boston Empire, he would have no possibility of overthrowing Carlos I, and if he had the support of the Boston Empire, he might join the Axis group and become a member of it after taking power.
