Led by his subordinates, Xu Yi and Eto'o arrived at a reception center set up by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the center of the main base.

As soon as he entered the door, Xu Yi immediately felt that the atmosphere in the air seemed to become stagnant in an instant, and the hall of the reception center of Nuoda was incredibly quiet, and even the footsteps of the two waitresses could be heard clearly.

Except for the two waiters who were still walking, there was hardly anyone in the hall who made any big moves, and no matter what they were doing, they looked cautious, as if they were afraid of breaking the dead silence of the current atmosphere.

Everyone's eyes fell on the two groups of people sitting opposite the hall, intentionally or unintentionally, and the eyes of these two groups of people were nailed to the opposite body, even if they didn't need to feel more, they could easily smell the strong smell of gunpowder mixed in it.

Eto'o frowned and glanced at the two groups of people, his eyes fell on the group of people on the left who led the delegation of the Maro Empire's military headquarters this time, walked over, and after asking a few words in a low voice, he also turned his head to look at the group of people opposite, with a strange expression.

After the group of people on the right saw Eto'o's movements, they noticed the arrival of Xu Yi and others, and one of them sitting in the middle raised his hand to greet Xu Yi.

"President Xu, you're back. ”

Xu Yi smiled and nodded to him: "Lord Russell, didn't you say that you won't arrive until the day after tomorrow, why did you come today?"

Russell, the deputy chief of staff of the Candela Imperial Naval Staff, glanced at everyone sitting opposite the Maro Imperial Military Headquarters, and snorted coldly: "If you hadn't come two days in advance, how could you have found these unexpected guests?"

There was mockery in his tone, from his expression. It can also be seen that he must be quite dissatisfied in his heart now. Or even anger.

However, Xu Yi didn't seem to hear the meaning of his words at all. Continuing to smile, he took two steps forward, came to the middle of the two groups of people, first stretched out his left hand to signal to the people in the military headquarters of the Maro Empire on the left, and said, "Come, let me introduce you, these are guests from the Maro Empire." ”

Russell snorted softly again: "President Xu, I don't need you to introduce me." They are all members of the military of the Maro Empire. How could I not know. ”

"Oh?" Xu Yi turned to look at Eto'o. "Then you should know these guests too?"

Eto'o frowned, looking at Xu Yi with some puzzlement, but still nodded and said, "Of course, these people didn't deliberately hide their identities, if we can't recognize them, it would be too much to say." Are you right, Lord Russell, the Jungle Fox of the Candela Empire?"

"Jungle fox?" Xu Yi looked at Russell in surprise. "Lord Russell, I didn't think you still had this nickname. ”

Russell waved his hand: "That's just a nickname that other people have given me, it's nothing." ”

"Lord Russell, it's not right to be so modest. Eto'o raised his voice. "When you were still serving in the Candela Empire's Army, our Maro Empire suffered many losses under your hands. Give you a nickname like this. But respect for you. If you think this is nothing, then isn't it too shameful for the military of our Maro Empire?"

"What do you Maro Empire military think. What's the matter with me?" Russell said with a blank face. "What's more, I've been transferred to the Imperial Navy now, and the nickname of Jungle Fox has nothing to do with me. ”

"That's a shame. Eto'o shook his head. "It's just stupid for the Candela Imperial military to let a powerful jungle combat master like you go, but transfer him to the navy. ”

Russell was silent, and did not say anything to refute.

Judging from this reaction, I am afraid that he also agrees with what Eto'o said, but given his status, it is obviously impossible for him to agree with it.

"Well, Lord Russell, whatever you were doing before, now that you're here, if I'm right, you're here for the military magic machinery of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, right?" Eto'o asked again.

"It's none of your business. Russell replied lightly.

"No, of course it has something to do with me. Or rather, it has something to do with our entire Maro Empire. At this point, Eto'o turned his head to look at Xu Yi, and there was a hint of questioning in his eyes. "President Xu, Lord Russell refuses to say, are you willing to sue me?"

Xu Yi shrugged: "I'm sorry, protecting the privacy of our customers is our necessary responsibility, and I can't disclose it to others without the customer's consent." ”

Eto'o nodded slightly: "Okay, I see." ”

After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at Russell deeply, then turned around and greeted everyone in the military of the Maro Empire, and said goodbye to Xu Yi and left next.

After they left the reception center, Russell stared at Xu Yi and asked in a deep voice, "President Xu, can you sue me, what the hell is going on?"

Xu Yi smiled and replied, "As you can see, that's what happened. ”

Russell's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a dangerous glint in his eyes, but he didn't continue to ask.

###

Two days later, Eto'o left the Duchy of Stantin with a military delegation from the Maro Empire and returned to the Maro Empire.

In the last conversation with Xu Yi, he revealed to Xu Yi that if nothing else, the military of the Maro Empire will order a large number of military magic machinery from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for all the military magic machinery currently sold by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and at the same time, he also hopes to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to ensure the supply of military magic machinery.

At the same time, he also vaguely expressed his dissatisfaction with Xu Yi, that is, while the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce cooperated with the Maro Empire, it also maintained cooperation with the Candela Empire.

He warned Xu Yi that this move of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would very likely lead to the distrust of the military of the Maro Empire towards the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and it might affect the confidence of the military of the Maro Empire and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in in-depth cooperation.

Four days after seeing off the military delegation of the Maro Empire, Xu Yi sent off the Candela Imperial Navy delegation led by Russell.

Russell's purpose in bringing people here this time was very simple, just hoping to buy ten frigates and supporting various military magic machinery from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce again.

At the same time, the Candela Imperial Navy also hopes that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce can provide them with further technical information about the frigate, so that they can carry out later maintenance and maintenance of the frigate. and more training programs.

However, after seeing the people of the Marlo Empire's military headquarters with his own eyes. Russell made a special trip to find Xu Yi. I had a meeting with him in private.

During this meeting, Russell solemnly stated to Xu Yi that since the Maro Empire and the Candela Empire were hostile to each other, he and the Candela Empire's military did not want to see the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce choose to cooperate with the Maro Empire.

If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce insists on doing so, it will likely cause the military of the Candela Empire to lose trust in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and affect the cooperative relationship between the two sides.

Basically, Russell's words and Eto'o's words meant the same thing, anyway, they didn't want the new flyers to step on two boats. At the same time, it maintains cooperation with the two empires.

Russell's warning was more specific, he said that if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce continued to maintain cooperation with the Marlo Empire, it would not only affect the cooperation between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Empire in the field of military magic machinery, but also most likely affect the cooperation between the two sides in the field of civilian magic machinery.

Specifically, it is highly likely that the Candela Empire will judge the New Flying Chamber of Commerce as hostile based on this point, and thus refuse to allow one of the products of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to enter the territory of the Candela Empire.

"I believe that President Xu, you know very well that the loss of such a huge market as our Candela Empire is a serious loss to your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. So...... Please also ask President Xu to think carefully and don't make the wrong choice. ”

Russell's warning to Xu Yi, one might even say that the threat was clearly not a joke. However, it fell into Xu Yi's ears......

"Why do these guys like to talk nonsense so much?"

Xu Yi plucked out his ears. There was a complete look of disdain on his face.

Although these two empires reacted relatively quickly and understood the importance of military magic machinery, they still didn't recognize the shape clearly, and they both put themselves in a high position, putting on a posture that they were looking for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to cooperate to give the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce a chance.

Actually?

"There is an old saying: The wheels of history are already rolling, and anyone who stands in its way will only be crushed by the past. ”

Xu Yi smiled lightly, ignoring Eto'o and Russell's warnings and threats.

The current shape is clear that the two empires are actively seeking the cooperation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but it is not the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce begging them to cooperate, it is really meaningless for them to put on such a high posture.

Even if the militaries of the two empires were dissatisfied and even wary of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce because of this, how could they not do this kind of thing if they were unwilling?

In particular, the Candela Empire, which had suffered two consecutive wars with the Kingdom of Luxon, felt the threat posed by the military magic machinery even more deeply.

If it weren't for the sake of face, I'm afraid they would have already pounced directly like the Maro Empire in the hope of buying military magic machinery, where would they need to beat around the bush like now.

As for the Maro Empire, there is no need to worry, although they do not have the pain of the Candela Empire, but since the Candela Empire has shown interest in the military magic machinery produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Maro Empire must follow up and not allow itself to lag behind the Candela Empire in this regard.

To put it simply, Xu Yi regarded these two empires as pawns in his hands, and used the hostile relationship between them to inflate his own value.

This practice, as Camila and Xu Yi themselves realized, was like playing with fire, and it was very dangerous.

However, Xu Yi was very confident in the outcome, because in their current form, it was impossible for the two empires to pose any threat to the new flying merchants.

Aside from the military magic machinery, Xu Yi attaches the most importance to it, and it is also the civilian magic machinery mentioned by Russell, so there is no need to worry.

If there is still a possibility that there will be problems with military magic machinery due to the scruples of the military of the two empires, then the trend in civilian magic machinery has already become a rolling torrent, and it is not something that anyone who is unwilling to stop it.

Xu Yi picked up a copy of last month's financial statements in his hand, looked at the rows of numbers on it, squinted his eyes slightly, and laughed like a laughing fox who had succeeded in his treacherous scheme. (To be continued......)
