Chapter 772: The Enemy (2)

Zhang Zhongjun's north side of the Black Hawk Territory, adjacent to the direction of Oak Harbor, is the best place in the entire Black Hawk Territory, and it is also the place with the most people. Especially after Zhang Zhongjun began to subsidize the people and began to create a grocery store, this road became even more prosperous.

Although Oak Port can only be regarded as a middle- and lower-level port city in the entire port alliance, a port that can trade with foreign countries, no matter how small, is much stronger than an inland city.

Moreover, not to mention the rugged roads of the bird place on the island, not to mention the Black Mountain Range, which divides the island in two, the checkpoints set up by the inland lords alone are enough for the merchants to drink a good pot.

Therefore, most of the merchants rely on sea transportation to solve the transportation problem, generally transport the goods to the nearby port cities, and then disperse the goods to the inland cities through one or two checkpoints. This is the standard behavior of almost all merchants, because this is an island! The port city circles around the island, and unless it is in the middle of the interior, it only takes one or two checkpoints to disperse the goods.

Therefore, on this island, no matter how small the port, there are merchants coming in and out, because every port, no matter how small the port, it can do business with several territories, and since there is business, the merchants will naturally not let it go.

And when the Black Hawk Leader appeared, the owner of the port of Port Oak was naturally watching all the time, and even when Baron Allens and Baron West were at war, they were already watching.

That's right, "they" is used here, because Oak Harbor is not the territory of one person and one family, but five chambers of commerce gathered together, and experienced enough content to write several tomes, so that Oak Harbor became an independent port and a member of the Port Alliance.

It can be said that any force in this world, its experience is enough to write thick books, but they are well-deserved protagonists in that era and place, but they can be put into the whole world, but they are no different from passers-by. It's just that few people will be self-aware of this, but they think that they are the children of destiny.

After all, the noble lords only have the name and force, while the merchants only have money, but the merchants can buy the name with money, and then use the money to buy the force, so these port cities that are crucial to the interests of the merchants have naturally become the territory of the merchant alliances.

The name of the chamber of commerce that controls the port of Oak is naturally called the Oak Chamber of Commerce, and the five powerful merchant groups in the chamber of commerce are the Bickeri Maritime Merchant Group that operates shipping, the Wendu Steel Chamber of Commerce that operates weapons and equipment, the Midula Merchant Group that operates the grain trade, the Mumu Pillar Merchant Group that operates the timber and livestock business, and finally the Iron Core Army that operates mercenaries.

Of course, it is impossible for only these five merchant groups to exist in the entire port, and there are also small chambers of commerce that are responsible for sales, entertainment, clothing, food and housing, etc., but these small chambers of commerce are all attached to the five merchant groups and live under the Oak Chamber of Commerce.

It may be strange that the entire representative of Oak Port is actually called the Chamber of Commerce, but the five forces below that control Oak Port actually dare to call the Chamber of Commerce. After all, the business group is larger than the Chamber of Commerce, is there any problem here?

There is indeed a problem, you must know that the sphere of influence of the merchant group cannot just occupy one port, so these five merchant groups, their power is far more than the existence of Oak Port, they are one of the controllers of other ports, but it just happens that the five forces form a situation where the five major forces are in charge of Oak Harbor.

If you really want to say it, they are joint operations in Oak Harbor, but in other ports in other places, even in a state of life and death.

Therefore, the leaders of the five major forces staying in Oak Harbor are not the leaders of the five major forces, but the middle and lower levels of the entire business group. However, they are still big people with one hand to the Oak Harbor, and they are obviously very self-motivated, and they are always sensitive to the surrounding situation.

This is also a war for the two barons Mao Allens and West, and they have been paying attention to it, until Zhang Zhongjun was divided into a territory and became Lord Black Hawk.

Don't blame them for being sensitive, even if they have countless different identities, but there is one identity that is the most fundamental, that is, businessmen, and the insensitivity of doing business is equivalent to pushing money out, so they force businessmen to become sensitive.

They noticed that Zhang Zhongjun's divided territory was behind the butt of Oak Harbor, and of course they were very nervous, because any new lord was the most jumpy guy, and they were afraid that this new lord would mess around and ruin the situation in Oak Harbor.

It's just an investigation, and it was found that the division of this territory was so strange that there was no feudal vassal between Baron Allens and this Black Eagle Lord!

Anyone who hears this news, almost everyone thinks that Baron Allens is still treacherous, and actually uses this kind of division of territories that is not a feudal vassal to perfunctory meritorious people, doesn't this mean that Baron Allens can attack this divided Lord Black Eagle at any time?

After getting this guess, Oak Harbor's peeping at the Black Hawk Leader naturally weakened a lot, joking, his side is busy making money all day, where can he pay attention to this lord who will be recovered by the original owner at any time? The reason why he still keeps an eye is because the Iron Core Army in charge of the armed forces has become interested.

It is said that the intelligence of the Iron Core Army does not exist because of the existence of this 500 fierce Black Hawk mercenaries, so they are very curious about how this mercenary appeared and how they came to the island.

In this regard, the other four forces all scoffed, damn it, these days, if you are an individual, you dare to call yourself a mercenary, there are not too many mercenary groups of three and a group of five, and the mercenary group of 500 people on this island is considered a large force, but on the mainland, there are not a few mercenary groups of tens of thousands of people.

However, this is just a matter of attention, and it does not use the power of other people, and you can spend it if you are willing to spend manpower and material resources.

It's just that it didn't take long for the calm to calm down, and the port was surprised to find that the trade in and out of the port was actually several times higher than before!

This can make everyone very surprised, and they have sent people everywhere to find out what is going on, is there any new commodity on their own territory? This new commodity appeared, and I didn't find it, which is simply a big mistake!

It's just that before they could get the results, the leaders of the Iron Core Army in Oak Harbor began to gather the other four leaders to discuss things.
