Chapter 56: Fighting for Dominance of the Continent?
The war between the Candela Empire and the Magic Kingdom of Mana continues.
However, although the Candela Empire has a greater advantage on the battlefield, in the face of a country like the Magic Kingdom of Mana, whose national strength is second only to the two empires, it is impossible to destroy the Magic Kingdom of Mana directly through a war, so how long the war will last and what it will end up in depends on what the Candela Empire hopes to achieve.
Most of the other countries on the Sainz continent are watching the excitement from the sidelines, and there are also many people who are waiting for the real statement of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
No one believes that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will really ignore the war between the two countries at all, as they have officially stated.
If this is the case, it means that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has directly given up its strong influence on the major countries of the Sainz Continent for more than ten years, and it is also extremely unfavorable to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce itself.
Even if the attitude of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce this time, especially the president Xu Yi, is a little ambiguous, people still want to see how the chamber of commerce in the department reacts.
So, under the expectations of countless people, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce finally made some reactions.
However, contrary to what everyone thought, the reaction of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was not directly counted in the war between the Candela Empire and the Magic Kingdom of Mana, but first issued an announcement in the official name of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce hoping to protect the civilians who suffered in the war, and then organized a huge rescue team and drove directly into the border between the Magic Kingdom of Mana and the Candela Empire.
It's a strange decision, and it's hard for anyone to understand.
If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce really wants to intervene in this war, then why not simply warn the warring parties directly, or even let the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort intervene and directly force them to cease fighting?
What is the purpose of sending a so-called rescue team of unknown significance now?
And under everyone's watchful eye. The rescue team sent by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce actually really observed what the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce said in the previous announcement, and only extended a helping hand to the civilians of the Magic Kingdom of Mana who had suffered losses due to the war, providing them with assistance in all aspects to help them regain their lives and stabilize them, but they did not do anything superfluous at all in other aspects.
This move. In the eyes of many people, it caused a burst of accusations of "hypocrisy".
If the New Flying Chamber of Commerce really wants to help the civilians of the Magic Kingdom of Mana, then why not just force a truce between the two sides?
And if they are unwilling to intervene, then why send such a rescue team?
This is a paradox!
In response to these accusations, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce still did not make any response.
However, the rescue team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce really played a big role.
Many civilians in the Magic Kingdom of Mana who had to flee because of the war were saved by the timely rescue of the rescue team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and they are extremely grateful to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
And whether it's on the side of the Candela Empire, or on the side of the Magic Kingdom of Mana. It was very tacit that he did not say a word about the actions of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and never obstructed the actions of the rescue team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and allowed the rescue team to collect civilians.

"Elder, what good is this for our Chamber of Commerce?" Barnett looked at the message sent from the Sainz Continent from the Chamber of Commerce Headquarters in his hand, and wondered in his heart. "If you don't want those civilians to suffer because of your kindness, you can simply make a truce for the Candela Empire. And if you want to punish the Magic Kingdom of Mana, you can just let it go. and lest you now be blamed. ”
Barnett still had something to say.
In his opinion, Xu Yi's current approach. It's a bit indecisive, not at all like his previous way of doing things.
Xu Yi turned his head, glanced at him, and smiled slightly: "What do you think...... Can our Chamber of Commerce keep those countries on the Sainz continent obedient?"
Barnett fell silent.
Of course, he had thought about this question, and he also knew that Xu Yi had asked several colleagues and knew very well what the answer was.
But say it in front of Xu Yi. But it made him a little embarrassed.
"This ...... Not to mention that they should be completely obedient, at least let them have to take care of our new flying chamber of commerce, right?"
"No, you're getting one thing wrong. Xu Yi shook his head. "I've said it many times, we're just a chamber of commerce, and I'm just an ordinary businessman. We are a single chamber of commerce. There is no way to make those nations on the continent of Sainz completely obedient, and it is impossible for me, a merchant, to make everyone obey my orders. ”
"That's what you don't want to ......," Barnett muttered.
In the eyes of many people, as long as Xu Yi is willing, with the strong combat effectiveness of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's escort team and the more terrifying influence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yi has the opportunity to become the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Stanting more than 20 years ago, and then use this to forge ahead and continuously improve his status.
After spending more than twenty years, even if he may not be able to unify the entire Sainz Continent, Xu Yi is very likely to become the Emperor of a new huge empire, which is by no means inferior to the current two empires.
However, from the very beginning, he didn't seem to have much power, not only giving up control of the Duchy of Stantin, but also lightly giving up countless opportunities to become the overlord of this continent.
This made everyone extremely puzzled.
In this world, it is impossible for people who have no ** for power to exist.
Xu Yiming has such strength and opportunities, why would he give up?
Of course, the words in Barnett's mouth couldn't escape Xu Yi's ears, and he knew his subordinates' thoughts well, but he only smiled lightly when he heard the words.
He has actually made it very clear to many people about his pursuit, but no one has been able to fully understand it until now.
Yes, he certainly has the opportunity and the ability to dominate the entire Sainz continent.
However, this did not mean anything to him.
Of course he would be interested in power, but in his opinion, even if he could control the entire Sainz Continent, but this Sainz Continent was completely in a backward half-slave and semi-feudal civilization era, what was the point of controlling it?
As a person who has crossed over from the modern earth, Xu Yi cannot fully adapt to the backwardness of this world no matter how many years have passed.
Therefore, he has always been obsessed with the development of the magic industry, hoping to one day let the civilization of this world catch up with the earth.
This idea was just a fantasy in his mind at first, and Xu Yi himself felt that he had no chance to achieve it in this life.
However, in the past ten years, the relevant research on the magic industry on the Sainz continent has changed with each passing day, and in just ten years, the level of civilization on the Sainz continent has made a huge leap forward, so that the living standards of ordinary people are even enough to be comparable to the level of the sixties and seventies of the 19th century on the earth.
In the past two years, the research and development of magic core energy has even made Xu Ye discover the possibility of surpassing the earth's technological civilization.
In this case, how could Xu Yi want to waste time on the thankless road to hegemony, which might even make the entire Sainz Continent civilization regress?
If you have that time, you might as well study more magic technology and strive to fly into space one day sooner.
Besides, even if you really want to play the routine of fighting for hegemony, isn't there a huge land in front of you that is far away from the Earns Continent, which is much simpler, but also more vast?
Of course, these thoughts cannot be explained to Barnett.
Xu Yi pondered for a moment and said to Barnett: "If those countries on the Sainz Continent want to fight, let them fight, anyway, no matter how much trouble they make, it will not affect the development of our Chamber of Commerce in the Sainz Continent." No matter what the Sainz continent becomes in the end, how many countries are destroyed because of this, and how many countries rise because of it, it is none of our business for the Chamber of Commerce. ”
Barnett looked at the expression on Xu Yi's face seriously, making sure that he shouldn't be joking, and wondered even more.
I don't know why, since Xu Yi came to the Demon Cloud Continent, every time he talks to him, Barnett will feel that every time the elder mentions things on the Sainz Continent, he always looks like he doesn't care, as if it has nothing to do with him.
Could it be that because he is far away from the Sainz continent, his heart is also far away?
No way!
Barnett immediately shook his head.
The Sainz Continent is the foundation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is the brainchild of the President, and the President will not be able to give up the Sainz Continent no matter what.
Barnett didn't continue to ask, and Xu Yi naturally didn't explain any more.
The main content of his conversation with Barnett this time has nothing to do with the affairs on the Sainz Continent, but about how to make use of the manpower on the Demon Cloud Continent.
Although the manpower sent by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to the Demon Cloud Continent, as well as the other people who came with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the total number of people has reached close to 100,000.
But compared to the huge 50,000 square kilometers of land they now control, it still seems pitiful.
Therefore, it is imperative to increase human gestures.
It is not realistic to pull people from the Sainz continent, because it is too far away from the Sainz continent, and not many people are willing to abandon their hometown and run to such a far place to live.
What's more, the Demon Cloud Continent is still a barbaric and backward place in the impression of many people, who would want to come and suffer if they have nothing to do.
Therefore, if you want to solve the manpower problem, you must start with the Demon Cloud Continent itself.
Prior to this, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had been recruiting local indigenous alien races, and had also absorbed all the human tribes that were discovered later.
But they don't add up to more than 10,000 people, which is still far from enough.
So Xu Yi hit the idea deeper into the Demon Cloud Continent, and planned to pull all the intelligent races in other places over to serve the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
The first thing to do is to find the indigenous tribes and get in touch with them.
During this time, Xu Yi has been presiding over this work. (To be continued.) )
