Chapter 53: Sticks and turnips
Speaker Peters couldn't figure out which link had gone wrong, how could a supreme Holy See priest with two hellish creatures nightmares possibly perform divine magic. But at this time, Father Titus, the light of "divine power" shrouded him, and the prayer he chanted, the sound seemed to come from the sky.
It's no wonder that Duncan's report did not respond to anything, but instead led to a massive hunt for heretics in the Blue Cathedral. In the face of such divine power and divine magic, no one would doubt Father Titus.
Now Speaker Peters no longer has the handle of a priest, and he has been caught by Young Master Liang by the tail.
After Father Titus finished praying, Da Liang and Speaker Peters whispered, "May George rest in peace." ”
Then the dominance of this meeting fell into the hands of Da Liang.
There are two nightmares as the inside line, and Da Liang is well aware of the deeds of Speaker Peters and the Church Staring into the Abyss. In the past, the Council of Marcellus didn't bother with itself, and Da Liang didn't bother to pay attention to them. Now that Peters is behind his back, of course Da Liang has to beat these unruly guys well.
After letting Peters dry for a while, Da Liang said to Father Titus, "We recently surveyed the east coast of the Dock Academy of Magic, and found that it is an excellent harbor. Therefore, I wanted to expand the docks of the college to open a research institute specializing in ships and oceanography.
I would like the priest to help me contact the Holy See for the best of goodness and order the dock equipment and a batch of cargo ships for scientific research.
When the steelworks, which my Blackfire Company and the Whitehead family have built, come online, I want to build another shipyard. I would like to entrust the construction of the entire shipyard to the Holy See, and it would be even better if the Holy See could deliver some battleship drawings and lease them to me a group of skilled shipbuilders. ”
Father Titus didn't expect that Young Master Liang called him here this time to discuss business. In addition, this also made the priest realize that Young Master Liang really did not regard the Holy See of the Supreme Perfection as an enemy, and once this kind of large-scale engineering project was publicly tendered, some people robbed it, but Young Master Liang directly gave it to the Holy See of the Supreme Kindness.
At the same time, the priest also knew that Young Master Liang was paving the way for himself, although the last arsenal incident did not cause much damage to the Supreme Holy See, but it was also considered that Father Titus had messed up. This time, he was able to pull such a big project, and he would definitely be able to redeem his evaluation in the Presbyterian Church of the Holy See.
It is also one step closer to the Bishop of the Blue Cathedral.
Titus said, "No problem, Master Liang. The Holy See will be very happy to receive such a large project...... If I can really become the bishop of the Blue Cathedral in the future, I will definitely do my best to thank him. ”
Speaker Peters listened quietly.
The steel mill and shipyard are obviously eyeing the super large order of the new fleet of the Imperial Navy. It's just that the steel mill is easy to build, after all, the empire has equipment and workers, and you can produce steel by choosing a good place to build the factory, but can a warship be built by any random person?
As a landlocked country, the Flominck Empire had a hard time building a cargo ship that could sail to the sea, and it was simply impossible to build a warship. Moreover, the entire shipbuilding system cannot be formed by leasing a group of shipwrights, so it is simply whimsical for Young Master Liang to want to build a shipyard.
But...... What if he and the Marquis of Whitehead joined forces to seize this Imperial shipbuilding money?
Quite possibly!
And now is the most important thing to get through the current crisis first.
Speaker Peters seized the opportunity and said, "If Young Master Liang wants to build a shipyard, plus a steel factory, it will solve the employment problem of many people. The Marcellus Council will give its full support, and I will urge the Saroyan City Hall to give more tax incentives to Blackfire and open a green channel for your factory to be built as soon as possible.
In the future, the city of Saroyan will definitely be more prosperous because of the existence of the Black Fire Company. ”
Seeing that Speaker Peters was enlightened, he smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency...... But my company is still under investigation by the Saroyan City Hall, the money is frozen, and the equipment cannot be bought.
In the meantime, I'll accompany Father Titus to catch the heretics lurking in the city of Saroyan. With this merit, Priest, you will surely become the Bishop of the Blue Cathedral, and I will have a great backer here. ”
"No...... Speaker Peters, how could Speaker Peters let Young Master Liang catch heretics, and he couldn't let him reveal too much in the courtroom. "While it is important to capture heretics, it is even more important for Saroyan to arrest the steel mills and shipyards," he said. I believe that the Blue Cathedral will soon find the heretics, so Master Liang, you should dedicate your wisdom to the city of Saloyan.
The accusations made against you by the City Hall of Saroyan are nothing short of an insult and slander against an upright gentleman. Blackfire is so rich, does it need to scam money? Only a person who has been kicked in the head by a donkey will believe such a ridiculous accusation.
The Council of Marcellus immediately imposed the most severe punishment and discipline on the relevant personnel, I want everyone to know that I am friends with Young Master Liang, and the Black Fire Company is a star enterprise supported by Saroyan! ”
That's all Peters can do. Revoke Young Master Liang and let the Black Fire Company build a steel mill and a shipyard. As for the reaction of the Rookes consortium, we can only take one step at a time, anyway, there is no way for a Rooks consortium to get him out of office.
Da Liang was very satisfied with Speaker Peters's response, and he asked his attendant to fill the glass of red wine for Peters, then picked up his grape juice and said, "Your Excellency, you are a very shrewd politician. At this point I make it clear to you that I am a businessman, a pure businessman, without any political position.
I can work with the Whiteheads, I can work with the Holy See for Good, I can work with the merchants of Marcellus.
In the future, my Black Fire Company and the 'University Alliance' will have a lot of high-tech inventions, and I will build more factories. I like to make money with friends who are willing to make money, so don't see me as your enemy. ”
Speaker Peters raised his glass and looked at Da Liang, realizing that it was time to reacquaint himself with the rising consortium leader in front of him. All along, Peters regarded Da Liang as a member of the Flominck Empire, and the Black Fire Company was the vanguard of the Empire's support to attack Marcellus' native capital. But now it seems...... Seems wrong.
Because the other party knew his relationship with the Contemplation Abyss, if Young Master Liang was really from the Empire, as long as he exposed himself, he could severely damage the Marcellus Council. But he didn't......
Then Young Master Liang's position is very delicate. He was close to the Flominck Empire, but not as close as he thought, and the council had a chance to woo him.
Speaker Peters took the initiative to clink his glass with Da Liang, and then asked, "Does Young Master Liang have any good cooperation projects now?" The Council of Marcellus is ready to work with you. ”
Da Liang smiled: "I have a development project for a fixed-wing aircraft...... Is Your Excellency Speaker interested in getting involved? ”
