Osborne was silent for a moment, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a very reluctant smile, and said, "Please tell President Xu for me that we are still very looking forward to and sincere in cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce." As for the attitude of the empire that Chairman Xu is worried about...... I'm sure there will be some turnaround in the long term, so don't worry too much. ”

Of course, it is impossible for Osborne to say about the specific situation in the Candela Empire, but as the Candela Imperial Navy that has the most contact with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and has the most intuitive experience of the power of the new steel magic warships produced by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, they are the ones who want to cooperate with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce the most.

If it weren't for the domestic pressure, the Candela Imperial Navy would have pounced on the face of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and it was eager for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to hand over all the frigates.

It is really helpless to have to sneak to a small island in the sea more than a hundred kilometers away from the mainland of the Kandela Empire to trade like this.

Of course, it is impossible to hide the sudden addition of five frigates in the Imperial Navy from everyone, but the top brass of the Imperial Navy has already received the acquiescence of His Majesty the Emperor, and they are not worried that others will accuse them again.

"Well, if you make a change, of course we'll respond accordingly. Mackens said. "In addition, the President also asked me to tell you that our Chamber of Commerce will not only sell the frigate to you, but there are many buyers who are also very interested in the frigate. Compared to them, you have the advantage of owning the frigate earlier, which means that you can have more time to master it, and I hope you can cherish this advantage. ”

Playing with this passage. Osborne's face immediately changed.

Except for the Candela Imperial Navy. And others are also interested in buying a frigate from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce?

Osborne thought with his ass and knew that this so-called "many buyers" must be the Marlowe Empire.

Because a frigate sells for even more than a million gold coins. Aside from the Maro Empire, where else on this continent would have the financial resources to buy this thing to equip a navy that they would never value?

Even if it is the Candela Imperial Navy, this time it was able to purchase five more frigates in one go, and it was only with the special approval of His Majesty the Crown Prince and the Imperial Ministry of Finance that it was an extra budget, otherwise I am afraid that even if the Imperial Navy was allowed to save for several years, it would not be able to save so much money.

"Hmm...... Thank you President Hsu for the reminder, and of course we will take advantage of it. Osborne nodded, then felt a little unwilling, and asked, "But Director Mackens." Please ask President Xu for me, what conditions do you need for your New Flying Chamber of Commerce to sell these frigates and other magic warships that you may have newly developed to our Candela Imperial Navy?"

Mackens looked at Osborne with a smile: "General Osborne, we are a chamber of commerce. ”

Osborne sighed and shook his head, a little helpless.

In fact, when the New Flying Chamber of Commerce inflicted heavy losses on the Candela Imperial Navy on the Endless Sea, many people in the Imperial Military Department proposed to directly attack the Duchy of Stantin and directly eliminate this arrogant New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

However, after careful study, the staff officers of the military department found that it was impossible to attack the Duchy of Stantin.

First of all, if you attack from land. Because there is a kingdom of Ruersun between the Duchy of Stantin and the Candela Empire, if you want to attack. First of all, the obstacle of the Ruerson Kingdom must be removed.

However, after the previous two successive invasions suffered fiascos, everyone in the military department now knows that this Ruerson Kingdom is a hedgehog with a piercing hand at all, and it is by no means so easy to touch.

And if you want to make a detour to the north to the Duchy of Mirando, and then attack the Duchy of Standine through the Kingdom of Lampari, the Duchy of Mirando can ignore it, but the Kingdom of Lampari can't get around it in any way.

The relationship between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Lampari Kingdom is extremely close, and it is obviously impossible for the Lampari Kingdom to allow the Candela Empire to attack the Duchy of Stantin by itself.

In addition to land, there is only one option left, attacking at sea.

However, since the appearance of the new type of steel magic warship of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, the Candela Imperial Navy fleet has fought more than ten times in the Endless Sea, including practice and actual combat, but each time it can only be defeated.

This made the entire Candela Imperial Navy unanimously agree that in the vast sea, no fleet would be the opponent of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Escort Fleet.

So obviously, this road is also not going to work.

In other words, even if the Imperial Military Department really made up its mind to attack the Duchy of Stantin, it would be an extremely tricky and even impossible thing to accomplish.

What's more, even if the Kingdom of Ruerson and the Kingdom of Lampari, and even all the countries around the Principality of Stanin all give way to attack the Candela Empire, will the Candela Empire really be able to take the Principality of Constantin?

Not only was Osborne deeply suspicious of this, but no one in the Imperial military department could be confident enough.

The Ruerson Kingdom was only able to contact the Imperial Army with two heavy losses from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce with some assistance, so if it attacked the New Flying Chamber of Commerce itself, the attack it encountered could only be more terrifying.

In the end, everyone can only reluctantly admit that even if the Candela Empire is still one of the most powerful empires on this continent, there is nothing they can do with the small country of the Duchy of Stantin and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

And according to the financial report personally made by the Marquis Hastere, the Minister of Finance of the Empire, on the contrary, the Empire can cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and introduce the magic industry driven by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce into the Empire, which can bring greater benefits to the Empire.

In fact, if it weren't for the sake of face, I'm afraid that His Majesty the Emperor would have done this a long time ago......

Therefore, this mention made by Osborne on behalf of the Imperial military, or simply a warning, must be treated with caution by any chamber of commerce on this continent, but it is no threat to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Thinking of this, Osborne only felt extremely depressed in his heart, and he was even more irritated when he looked at the smiling face of Mackens opposite, and after a moment of silence, he stood up directly and decided to end this meaningless conversation.

"Director Macens, let's go see the five ships you sent. ”

Glancing at the expression on Osborne's face, Mackens smiled slightly, and stood up as well.

"Okay. ”

When the two returned to the docks, the large cargo magic ship docked at the docks had finished unloading.

Looking at the neatly stacked various daily necessities on the dock, as well as some military magic machines that looked hideous, Osborne narrowed his eyes and asked Macens, "Director Mackens, don't you find it difficult for your Chamber of Commerce to keep the island supplies of so many islands at the same time?"

Mackens shrugged: "If you want to make money and you're afraid of hard work, then you might as well close the door and go home." Don't look at me, that's what the Elder will say. ”

"Is it profitable?"

Osborne looked back at the lush island behind him, which was mostly covered in forests, and wondered.

It's such an inconspicuous island, what can the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce make from it?

However, this was not a question that a soldier like him could understand, so he quickly gave up thinking and boarded a magic assault boat with Mackens to the five frigates that had broken away from the fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

When you get closer, you will find that these five frigates are very different from the other ten frigates of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce from the outside.

Each of the remaining ten frigates of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is extremely white and brand new from the outside, and at a glance you can tell that it has just been commissioned.

The five frigates delivered to the Imperial Navy of Candela were devastated, and there were obvious signs of being burned by fire in many places, so they looked a little charred.

Even the outer railings of two of the frigates were a little crooked, as if they had been struck by some force.

Osborne glanced up and asked like Mackens with some concern, "It looks miserable, can't there really be a problem?"

Mackens chuckled, "Of course not. Rest assured, this is specially processed at the time of delivery, ensuring that outsiders will look as if they have just experienced a big war, but in fact, everything inside is new, and there will be absolutely no problems. ”

"That's good. ”

The reason for this special treatment of these five frigates is, of course, because of the pressure of public opinion within the Candela Empire.

In order to prevent the side that opposes the cooperation with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce from accusing them of righteousness, the Candela Imperial Navy and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce decided to put on a show after consultation.

The content of this scene is that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce convoy and the Candela Imperial Navy meet again at sea, and then a major battle takes place, which ends in a great victory for the Candela Imperial Navy.

During the battle, the Imperial Navy of Candela "captured" five frigates of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce as trophies, which are the five in front of them.

Osborne and Mackens climbed aboard one of the frigates via a guò sling, and Osborne was relieved to communicate with several officers of the Imperial Candela Navy and confirm that the interior of the five frigates was indeed intact as Mackens had claimed.

"Director Mackens, a pleasure to work with. Before leaving, Osborne took the rare initiative to extend his hand to Macens.

Mackens stretched out his hand to shake his hand and said with a smile: "General Osborne, I believe that our cooperation is definitely not just this time, and there will be many opportunities for happy cooperation in the future." ”

"I hope so. Osborne replied with a blank face.

After the acceptance was completed, the Imperial Navy of Candela did not continue to make any further stops, and immediately set off for the return of the war.

Early the next morning after they left, Macens also left the island with the Second Fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and once again embarked on a long journey to the commercial United Kingdom of Nozdorm.

On the surface, the transaction between the two sides on this small island in the Endless Sea was like a wave in the Endless Sea, and after rolling for a while, it fell silent. (To be continued......)
