"Elder, I understand your feelings, and I am also deeply saddened and angry by the dead Chamber of Commerce employees in the port, but ......" Kennard glanced at Xu Yi, whose face was calm, hesitated for a moment, and continued: "Just for this reason, it is a bit ...... to blindly improve the defense force of our Chamber of Commerce Kind of impulsive, aren't you?"

"Blind?" Xu Yi turned to him. "Why do you think this is blind?"

Kennard smiled bitterly, spread his hands and said, "Although this word is indeed a little unpolite, but Lord Lord, I can't figure out why we invested more than three million gold coins in the Chamber of Commerce Escort at once, and gradually increase the investment every year in the future, and even according to your plan, why should we finally invest a minimum of five million gold coins per year? ”

"I've always said I'm a businessman. But from now on, Kennard is worthy of being from the Emma family, and the thinking of a businessman is much deeper than mine. Xu Yi said with a smile.

Kennard frowned and sighed, "Elder, we're just a Chamber of Commerce after all. ”

"No, for me, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is just a tool in my hands. Xu Yi shook his head. "Although the new flying chamber of commerce has developed to the present, it is still the best tool to use, but it is still just a tool. My vision is to change the lives of the people on the continent of Sainz, and that goal will not change. Make money, and only to achieve this goal. ”

Seeing the look on Xu Yi's face, Kennard knew that it was pointless for him to continue to persuade. I had to sigh too. No more discussions.

However, no matter what. Kennard couldn't understand Xu Yi's behavior either.

Because a few people died in the Black Rice Harbor, Xu Yi suddenly had the idea of completely controlling the entire Black Rice Wasteland.

If this idea is not so outrageous, then Xu Yi's idea of even wanting to finally fight back against the Sark Kingdom after taking control of the Black Rice Wasteland really shocked Kennard inexplicably.

Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has now developed into a large-scale chamber of commerce, with strong influence in the nearby countries, it is still just a chamber of commerce in the end.

With the strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and more importantly, with the military magic machinery produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it may not be difficult to control the entire Black Rice Wasteland. After all, the orc tribe in the Black Rice Wasteland is not organized, and the resistance is very weak.

But if you want to confront the Kingdom of Sark, it is simply wishful thinking.

A country and a chamber of commerce, those are two completely different concepts.

Kennard looked at Xu Yi's side face, and wondered if the elder was because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was now able to influence the situation in the Duchy of Stantin, so he roughly estimated the ability of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which gave rise to the illusion that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce could even compete with the Kingdom of Sark?

Kennard was inconvenient to ask.

As the CEO of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he is mainly responsible for the specific administrative affairs and management of the Chamber of Commerce, but for the general development direction of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he can only build a yì at most. And without any dominance.

Xu Yi has absolute control over the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, as long as Xu Yi makes up his mind. Then the others have to obey.

Even Kennard could not disobey this.

Kennard thought silently for a while, thinking that he had worked with Xu Yi for so many years, and his ideals were extremely close, how could he watch him go astray?

After a pause, Kennard said, "Lord, I still hope you can think more clearly. Our Chamber of Commerce does have enough strength to strengthen its own defense force, but the strength of our Chamber of Commerce has a limit, with the current profitability of our Chamber of Commerce, we can only maintain a guard force of no more than 5,000 people and the current level of the same grade, if we exceed this number, the strength will decline somewhat. ”

Xu Yi smiled and asked rhetorically, "Do you think five thousand people are very few?"

Kennard was stunned: "Of course it's very little." Don't forget, my lord, even Count Veron has 30,000 men under his command. ”

Xu Yihaha laughed: "Is 30,000 people strong? Don't forget, the 30,000 people of Earl Weilun can't even do anything about the 100 people led by Hart. ”

Kennard frowned, "It can't be counted like that. Lord Lord, Count Veron can't help the hundred guards led by Captain Hart, and there are many reasons for this. If you play head-to-head......"

"Even in a head-to-head battle, Earl Willon's men can't help Hart's hundred men. Xu Yi interrupted Kennard with a wave of his hand.

Kennard was stunned: "How is this possible? That's 30,000 people! How can it be that there are only 100 people!"

"So, you, and the vast majority of people on this continent, are still stuck in the old way of thinking. Xu Yi smiled slightly. "This world is already completely different from the one you used to know. ”

Kennard looked at Xu Yi strangely, thinking to himself that he was also the CEO of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and he knew much more about the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce than the vast majority of people on this continent.

But even he is not optimistic about the scene described by Xu Yi at all, why is Xu Yi so confident?

Xu Yi smiled and didn't explain much to Kennard.

Although Kennard is the CEO of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he is mainly responsible for administrative affairs, and in many respects he still has his limitations, and his grasp of the overall situation is far less than that of him.

Of course, not only Kennard, but almost everyone on this continent will probably be the same as Kennard, who is completely incomprehensible to Xu Yi's thoughts.

This can't be blamed on them, because Xu Yi has brought mechanical engineering knowledge from the earth to bring magic machinery to this world that is far beyond their imagination, which is equivalent to a great leap forward in the level of science and technology on the Sainz continent.

It will take some time for people's minds to catch up with this change.

And what Xu also wants to take advantage of is such a period of time to save the zài gap.

The two of them fell silent at the same time, and the magic car they sat in continued to speed along the highway in the northern part of the Duchy of Stantin, which was formerly under the name of Count Velen, but was now ceded to the territory under Xu Yi's name.

The road is a section of the Silu Highway and is in a semi-completed state, with only two lanes currently in use, which is still far from the six lanes when it is fully completed.

As the Magic Car drove on the road, it was possible to see countless local workers from the Kingdom of Lampari, the Kingdom of Luxon, the Black Rice Wasteland, the Duchy of Mirando, and the Duchy of Stantin.

Most of these workers belong to the Amrley Chamber of Commerce, and only a small number of workers who are responsible for the overall planning and supervision of the project, as well as the workers who are responsible for providing support for the construction magic machinery, belong to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

The two chambers of commerce have been working together for four years now, and the workers on both sides are very familiar with each other, so they are extremely productive.

According to the estimate of Xu Yi's old friend Director Riley, who is in charge of the construction of the Silu Highway at the Amrley Chamber of Commerce, the Silu Highway will be completed by the middle of next year at the latest.

At that time, the whole journey from the west coast of the Duchy of Stantin to the capital of the Kingdom of Ruersun, Kuraka, although more than 1,000 kilometers, was always connected by a smooth road.

If you drive a freight magic locomotive that can maintain a speed of more than 40 kilometers per hour, it only takes one day to get there.

And if you are driving the latest magic car that Xu Yi and Kennard are riding now, and the speed can be maintained at more than 60 kilometers per hour, it will only take more than ten hours.

Of course, if the Sru Highway wants to be opened to traffic all the way, the most important part is the cliff of the Duchy of Stantin and the Duchy of Ruersun.

Specifically, it is whether the paving project of the Silu Highway Viaduct can be completed smoothly.

After driving the two of them on the highway for a while, the magic car entered a forest that stretched as far as the eye could see, extremely lush.

Entering this forest is even if you have entered the control range of the Moon Shadow Clan.

Before the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, no one in the Duchy of Stantin dared to enter this forest called the Forest of Microdreams at will, because it was very likely to suffer revenge from the Elves of the Moon Shadow Clan.

Now, however, the forest, which has been quietly preserved for thousands of years, has fallen into a state of noise.

As soon as I entered the forest, I could hear a loud rumbling sound like thunder in the distance.

Looking up, you can also see a towering giant tree falling crookedly, smashing into the ground, raising broken branches and dust in the sky.

"Elder, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe that the Elves would have allowed humans to make such a big disturbance in their homeland, and even allowed humans to cut down the thousand-year-old tree that was most cherished to them. Kennard looked at the fallen giant tree in the distance and said with emotion.

Xu Yi smiled lightly: "If the elf race wants to redevelop and integrate into human society, this is a necessary step. ”

"That's also because you will grow up, and your charm is different. The elves have lived with us humans on the continent of Sainz for thousands of years, and this is the first time they have really tried to merge with humans. Kennard said.

Xu Yi laughed, thinking that other elves didn't know very well, but in the minds of the elves of the Night Song tribe and the Moon Shadow tribe, they did have a strong charm.

Otherwise, Elder Elucia and Elder Lisanya would not have forced themselves to marry an elven woman.

Thinking that he was about to see Elder Lisanya, Xu Yi couldn't help but have a headache.

I hope that Elder Lisanya can let himself go this time, and don't force himself to choose an elven beauty as soon as they meet. (To be continued......)
