The Endless Sea in early spring is probably the mildest time of the year, and today, as usual, the sea is calm and calm, making it a perfect weather for sailing.

A huge fleet of seven large cargo magic ships and twenty frigates was speeding through the southern waters of the Ruerson Kingdom at this time.

This fleet comes from the Second Fleet under the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and is the largest fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce except for the First Fleet led by Kaineval himself, and is mainly responsible for the transportation of goods between the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the United Kingdom of Commerce in Nozdorm.

This time the Second Fleet set sail, sending out all seven of its large cargo magic steamers in one go, carrying a large amount of construction supplies and three hundred and forty workers of the Amrley Chamber of Commerce, in addition to completing another supply mission to the United Kingdom of Commerce in Nozdorm.

At the end of last year, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce signed a new cooperation agreement with the Nozdorm Business United Kingdom, under which the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will invest in the construction of a magic machine tool production base in the Nozdorm Business United Kingdom.

The main role of this magic machine tool production base is to realize the local production of all kinds of farmland magic machinery and all kinds of engineering magic machinery, to assist with the Nozdorm commercial United Kingdom and the surrounding three countries to complete the farmland transformation project, and to rebuild the farmland-related water conservancy projects.

This time, 340 workers from the Amritra Chamber of Commerce were transported, and in addition to building the production base of the magic machine tool, they were also tasked with continuing to help the Nozdorm commercial United Kingdom pave roads.

The Nozdorm Commercial United Kingdom had already completed the construction of two roads in the Kingdom, and when they experienced the convenience of roads, their thirst for roads intensified. So this time, they made a plan to lay a total of nine roads with a total length of more than 1,800 kilometers.

For a small country that is twice the size of the Duchy of Statein. If these nine roads can be completely paved successfully. Although it is not as good as the road coverage in the Duchy of Stantin and the Kingdom of Lampari, it is enough to allow every town to be connected by road, which can definitely greatly improve the traffic situation in the entire Norddorm Commercial United Kingdom.

Because of the complex and swampy terrain in the commercial United Kingdom of Nozdorm, the planning of the nine roads alone took more than a year to allow construction to begin until now.

Moreover, these nine highways with a total mileage of more than 1,800 kilometers, if placed in an environment with a large number of plains such as the Lampari Kingdom or the Ruerson Kingdom, it is estimated that the total investment will be about 2 million to 2.5 million gold coins. However, in the United Kingdom of Commerce of Nozdorm, the estimated total investment amount given by the Amritri Chamber of Commerce is as high as four million gold coins.

However, even with such a large projected investment, the Nozdorm Business United Kingdom did not hesitate to agree, and even did not have the Amritra Chamber of Commerce to do more bargaining.

This made Xu Yi feel that the Nozdorm Business United Kingdom is worthy of being a country jointly organized by thirteen chambers of commerce, and at the same time, he also deeply felt the determination and courage of the Nordsdorm Business United Kingdom.

When he went to the United Kingdom of Nozdorm Business to meet with the President of Gaza, the President of Gaza had bluntly stated that the goal of the United Kingdom of Business in Nozdorm was to be able to integrate several small countries in the southeast corner of the continent and organize these originally weak countries together. Form a powerful force that can compete head-on with the Candela Empire.

This ambition is not small.

Of course. Xu is also happy to see it happen.

After all, when the ambition is big, the demand is great, and it will be easier for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to sell to it.

This time, the cargo on these large cargo magic ships of the Second Fleet of the New Flyers was one of the necessary items needed to meet the ambitions of the commercial United Kingdom of Nozdorm.

However, before this mission can be completed, the Second Fleet has an equally important task to complete.

When a huge island appeared in the sea ahead, all the ships of the Second Fleet turned slightly and headed towards the island.

From a distance, this is not different from the islands that can be found everywhere on the endless sea, except for the larger ones, but the closer you go, you will find that there is a port with three piers on the north side of the island, and there is a row of square brick and stone concrete rooms along the shore of the island, which are obviously inhabited by people.

If you get closer, you can see flags with the same pattern hanging on both the harbor and the houses on the island.

If it is a person from several countries in the southwest corner of the Sainz Continent, he can naturally recognize it at a glance, and the patterns on these flags clearly represent the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

That's right, this island is one of the sixteen islands that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has developed in the southern waters of the Endless Sea, and now a small base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has been built on the island, and it has completely fallen under the control of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

However, in this port, which was supposed to be only docked by the ships of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, there were ten large wooden warships flying the flag of the Candela Imperial Navy docked at this time, and on the sea outside the port, there were also more than fifty warships of the Candela Imperial Navy.

If he had seen this situation without prior preparation, I am afraid that Tom Mackens, the commander of the Second Fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, would definitely think that the Imperial Navy of Candela was besieging this island belonging to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

But now that he saw it, Tom Mackens just gave his subordinates the order to dock and prepare as usual, and did not give any more orders.

About twenty minutes later, the Second Fleet arrived at the outskirts of the island, and all the other ships remained on the outer sea, not even a hundred meters away from the warships of the Imperial Navy of Candela, except for a large cargo magic steamer that entered a vacant dock and docked.

Tom Mackens was the first to step down from the large cargo magic steamer and was confronted by several middle-aged men dressed in the uniforms of the Candela Imperial Navy.

"General Osborne, let you come all the way here. It's really bothering. Tom Mackens immediately smiled. Greeted him.

The middle-aged man in the uniform of an officer of the Imperial Candela Navy at the head was none other than Reno Osborne, deputy commander of the Second Fleet of the Imperial Candela Navy. Tom Markens walked over quickly, stretched out his hand and shook his hand.

"Director Mackens, where's the ship?"

Mackens was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that this General Osborne didn't have a word of greeting nonsense, and went straight to the point.

But one glance at his military uniform made Markens relieved.

This is probably the straightforward style that a soldier should have.

Moreover, the deal between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Empire has already been negotiated, and all the negotiation processes have come to an end, and there is indeed no need for more conversations between the two sides.

Come to think of it. Macens smiled and turned and pointed to the boats parked in the sea behind him.

"Just stop there. General Osborne, let your men go up and check it, and if there is nothing wrong, you can confirm the receipt and send someone to take over. ”

"Good. General Osborne waved to a few people beside him. "Go ahead. ”

The two Candela Imperial Navy officers on his side immediately walked to the dock and boarded a Candela Imperial Navy warship, and then the battleship started and drove towards the frigate group of the Second Fleet of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce docked on the periphery.

Seeing that the ships of both sides had begun to make contact, Macens withdrew his gaze from the sea and made an inviting gesture to General Osborne.

"General Osborne. It should take some time for them to check, so why don't we sit down and talk a few words? ”

"President Xu?" Osborne narrowed his eyes slightly. After thinking about it, he nodded, and went with Macens to a hut by the dock and sat down.

"Tell me, what did President Xu ask you to bring?" Osborne asked as soon as he sat down.

Although the contact with this Osborne was short, Mackens had already sensed his temper, and after hearing the question, he did not hesitate at all, and replied directly: "The Lord asked me to convey to you that he agrees in principle with your proposal to cooperate in the development of the southern seas of the Candela Empire. However, because your attitude towards our Chamber of Commerce is ambiguous at the moment, this cooperation cannot be deepened. The elders hope that you will be sincere in changing this. ”

"Attitude towards your Chamber of Commerce?" Osborne frowned slightly, and after a moment, he suddenly let out a wry smile.

He knew very well that in the words that Xu Yi asked Mackens to relay, the "you" he was referring to did not refer to their Candela Imperial Navy, but to the entire Candela Empire.

As Xu Yi said, the Kandela Empire's attitude towards the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is indeed a bit ambiguous.

On the one hand, because the New Flying Chamber of Commerce blatantly supported the Ruerson Kingdom, and even openly attacked the Candela Imperial Navy in the Endless Sea, causing the Candela Imperial Navy to suffer huge losses, so there are many people in the Candela Empire who naturally define the New Flying Chamber of Commerce as an enemy force.

With the consistent attitude of the Candela Empire, of course, it should be ruthless and completely eradicate the enemy.

What's more, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is just a small chamber of commerce.

Most of those who supported this view were members of the military, as well as some of the great nobles of the Empire, because they felt that the dignity of the Candela Empire was not to be offended.

On the other hand, there are still many people in the Candela Empire who feel that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has now produced a lot of valuable and amazing things, and if it is used well, the Candela Empire can even become more powerful with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Therefore, these people believe that it is best to let go of their previous suspicions and work closely with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to further strengthen the entire Candela Empire.

This view is supported mainly by the Imperial Treasury and some local powers, as they have already reaped the obvious benefits of cooperation between Guò and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

But in both forces, there are some "traitors".

For example, among the opponents of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, there is the Imperial Navy, which should be the most hated by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but instead supports cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Among the supporters of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, there is also a deep hatred for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and has made it clear that they will not allow anything related to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to enter the Duke of Windsor, the governor of the southern provinces under his rule.

Judging from the current form, the opposition to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is more powerful, after all, the main force of opposition is the vast majority of the military and the big nobles in the empire.

Of course, the final decision on this qiē is still in the hands of the most honorable emperor, His Majesty.

His Majesty the Emperor did not speak, and no one in the empire dared to do anything privately.

However, since the last court meeting, when the Minister of Finance of the Empire, Marquis Hastere, personally described to the Emperor the influence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on the tax revenue of the southern ports and surrounding cities of the Empire, there has been a subtle change in the attitude of the Emperor Xià.

Although for the sake of the empire's face, His Majesty the Emperor will not explicitly express his support for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but in some small details, it is clearly revealed.

For example, this time the Candela Imperial Navy once again purchased five frigates from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and it was obviously impossible to say that without the acquiescence of His Majesty the Emperor. (To be continued......)
