Chapter 251: The Mayflower Chamber of Commerce Attack
Chapter 252: The Mayflower Chamber of Commerce Attack
The third young master, Murray Buck, was very proud, and in the end, the resolution on the territory of the Chamber of Commerce was still carried out according to his original strategic plan, his second brother was reprimanded by his father, and his eldest brother was also honestly running around for the matter of inviting the great sword master.
The news from the past three days is good, the third-level great swordsman of the Two-Headed Dragon Chamber of Commerce, the second-level great swordsman Roric of the Forde Chamber of Commerce, and the second-level great swordsman Chusta of the Liward Chamber of Commerce have all agreed to the invitation, but the two great swordsmen of the Vesia Chamber of Commerce are not in Morente City, but they can come back before the end of December. And several Great Swordsmen of the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce are now guarding those two letters about the glass recipe and production process, and they will have to wait until the auction is over, and I believe that it will not be difficult to invite them at that time.
Next is the intelligence investigation in charge of the third young master, Murray Buck, who carefully organized three waves of capable and loyal people to the Chamber of Commerce, and drove three medium-sized merchant ships to Shiloas Island in the name of several small chambers of commerce. If you want to use the decapitation tactic, you must first know where the enemy is, and you must not let the venerable great swordsmen run around like headless flies.
It's just that the third young master, Murray Buck, never dreamed that all the medium-sized merchant ships of the three waves of spies he sent were requisitioned by the frenzied Lorist in the sad ocean, and his capable personnel were not spared, and they were all requisitioned into the ranks of sailors, and no one ran back until three months later. However, the situation changed dramatically by then, and the Chicke Chamber of Commerce no longer bothered to bother with Lorist and Hilowas.
Just when the third young master, Murray Buck, was waiting for the implementation of the plan, a shocking news came, and the entire people of Moriente City were shocked......
At that time, the Third Young Master Murray Buck was discussing the matter of the pontoon dock with several of his henchmen, which was the third young master's killer weapon, a weapon to deal with the shallow reef area of the northern sea. It is connected with a huge sealed wooden box to form a temporary wharf that floats on the water surface to transport goods and unload goods, and these wooden boxes can also be closed and fixed on the shore to avoid wind and waves when the wind and waves are strong, and then unfold when used.
With this kind of mobile pontoon dock, the shallow reef area in the north is no longer an obstacle or a problem. Thinking about what the second Seboyev said, the third young master Murray Buck thought it was funny, and only the second elm thought about reclamation all day long. When the Chamber of Commerce has Hilovas Island, and then take out this kind of pontoon dock, I believe that it will make a great credit to himself in the hearts of the senior management of the Chamber of Commerce......
I was thinking about it proudly, but when I heard a commotion outside, one of my personal servants crashed in: "Young master, young master, it's not good, something is wrong!" Just now, the great swordsmen of the Trimber Kingdom attacked the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce, and the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce suffered heavy losses, and now the lord and they are all rushing over......"
Murray Buck jumped up in surprise, and his words were incomplete: "Special, how can the Trimber Kingdom, how dare you attack the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce? This, this is simply bold, bold......"
As the saying goes, if you don't die, you won't die, and the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce is also asking for trouble. If the two letters about the glass recipe and production process were auctioned off according to the scheduled auction date of December 5th, the Mayflower Chamber would be in trouble, and nothing would happen. However, one of the vice presidents of the Chamber of Commerce thought that the time was too short, and that the large customers who were interested in the two letters still needed time to prepare a large amount of money, and the Chamber of Commerce could also take advantage of this opportunity to put the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce in prison for the first leading position in the auction house of Guelintea, so the date of the auction was postponed by ten days.
The envoys of the Kingdom of Trimber, with the great swordsmen and the Golden Knights, who had been entrusted with a major mission, arrived in the city of Moriente on the 4th of December in a very low-key manner. As soon as possible, Mr. Special Envoy visited the top management of the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce to discuss whether he could return the two letters about the fate of the kingdom, and expressed his willingness to pay the price of 10 million gold fords.
However, the president of the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce politely refused the envoy's request, saying that the matter had been spread and it was not good to deal with it privately, otherwise it would cause great damage to the reputation of the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce. However, they welcomed the Trimber Kingdom to buy the two letters back at auction, and euphemistically thought that the best possibility of 10 million Kingford would be to buy back only one of them. Therefore, they have thoughtfully postponed the auction date by ten days, leaving enough time for the Kingdom of Trimber to raise funds......
If the auction was held the next day, December 5th, the Kingdom of Trimber would not have had time to react, but now the delay of ten days has allowed the envoy to have a deep correspondence with Trimber VII.
The Mayflower Chamber never thought that there was another option for the Kingdom of Trimber, which was to destroy these two letters. In his letter to the envoy, Trimber VII angrily said that this was originally a kingdom thing, and it was equivalent to a person who had picked up a wallet and took it out for auction instead of returning it to its original owner......
Trimber VII was really angry. For more than a hundred years, with a sense of crisis, the Kingdom of Trimber gave selfless and vigorous assistance to the commercial alliance in the invasion of the former Krisson Empire on the Falcan Hill Plain, both in terms of troops and materials, and made great contributions to the war of the Fude Business Alliance against the former Krisson Empire, and even killed a noble envoy of the Crisson Empire who came to the kingdom to lobby, and resolutely stood with the business alliance, and the two were known as the unstoppable comrade-in-arms forged by iron and blood。
Nima, as soon as the Crisson Empire is over, the people of your business alliance will start to turn their faces and disagree with people, cross the river and tear down the bridge, isn't it? Trimber VII felt very aggrieved in his heart, his father, grandfather, and grandfather, the support and kindness of the previous kings of the business alliance were almost all fed to the white-eyed wolf. When your business alliance was cornered by the former Kriston Empire and was about to perish, it was our Trimber Kingdom that organized a coalition of various countries to rescue the city of Moriente and finally defeated the former Krisson Empire.......
In the cognition of Trimber VII, it was with the help of the Trimber Kingdom that the commercial alliance defeated the former Krisson Empire again and again, and without the Trimber Kingdom, the commercial alliance would have been impossible to continue to exist. Therefore, in his opinion, the business alliance should be grateful to the Kingdom of Trimber and respond to requests, so as to be ungrateful.
For the people of the business alliance, it is in front of these countries that they have resisted the invasion of the former Krissian Empire for more than a hundred years, shedding blood, sweat and tears, and paying heavy sacrifices to block the attack of the empire and preserve the independence and freedom of these countries. It is necessary to obtain the support of these countries, otherwise if the business alliance falls in front of the empire, no one in these countries will be able to escape the fate of destroying the country in the future, everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, and no one can escape in front of the powerful former Krisson Empire.
This is the pride of the people of the city of Morente, and the reason why they feel superior to those who have traveled all over these countries, and how their ancestors have gone to battle for more than a hundred years with their heads held high and the cry that the alliance will not perish. As for the people who went around these countries, although they had some support, the supplies sent to the front were often shoddy, but the generous people of the city of Moriente did not care about these small things, and they always believed that it was the heroic resistance of their ancestors that saved the country from destruction......
This is the difference between the views of Trimber VII and the people of the city of Morente on the same matter. Of course, the Big Seven who are in charge of the Supreme Business Council of the Business Alliance will not be as superficial as the average Morente City, but they are still inevitably affected by some influences.
The Seven Giants believe that although the Kingdom of Trimber is the most staunch supporter of the Business Alliance, and has vigorously supported and made great contributions to the Business Alliance in the war against the former Krisson Empire, the Business Alliance has not treated the Kingdom of Trimber badly, and even made great concessions and suffered a lot of losses in commercial transactions.
Not to mention anything else, the glass trade of the Kingdom of Trimber alone monopolizes the market of the entire business alliance, and it is also exempt from customs duties, yes, this is the compensation of the Fu Business Alliance for the support and contribution of the Kingdom of Trimber for more than a hundred years. You must know that glass is a specialty of the Trimber Empire, and it is in a monopoly position, and after the tax of customs clearance and entry is exempted, the Trimber Kingdom sells glass to most parts of the Gelinthia continent through the trade routes of Morent City, and the profits are rolling in, which also makes the Trimber royal family the richest tyrant in the whole continent.
After nearly 20 years of peace and the design of the commercial alliance have brought down the powerful enemy of the Crison Empire in the north, there have been many objections in the alliance parliament at the second level of the business alliance, and many representatives of the second- and third-rate chambers of commerce said that the preferential tax exemption treatment for glass sales should be withdrawn, and they believe that the Trimber Kingdom has recovered more than ten times the profits of the previous support and contribution through the sale of glass.
After all, the business alliance is the head of the businessman, and it is extremely sensitive and concerned about the profits and benefits of glass, and these representatives of the second- and third-rate chambers of commerce even listed the charts they carefully drew after investigation, showing how considerable the profits of the Trimber Kingdom are in glass.
It is the nature of merchants to seek profit alone, and these second- and third-rate chambers of commerce are very jealous of the profits from the exclusive use of glass by the Trimber Kingdom. Although they are under the slogan of taking the right to sell glass into the hands of the alliance and making the Kingdom of Trimber become the glass producer of the alliance, they say that the income of glass will become a new economic growth point for the business alliance. But in fact, everyone knows in their hearts that this is just to get a piece of the pie from the sale of glass.
The Big Seven of the Business Alliance do not lack a long-term political vision, and they are not simple-minded people who can climb to this position, and they are also worried that if the duty-free preferential treatment for glass sales in the Kingdom of Trimber is changed, it will cause concern about the expansion of the power of the Business Alliance in these kingdoms. You must know that in the past, the business alliance adopted the strategy of boiling frogs in warm water, expanding the sphere of influence through commercial means, influencing the development of the situation in various countries openly and secretly, and introducing policies conducive to the business alliance......
Therefore, the Seven Giants of the Business Alliance suppressed the voices of those councillors below, and continued to publicize in the newspapers to emphasize how much the Trimber Kingdom had supported and contributed to the Fort Business Alliance before, firmly believed that the friendship between the Trimber Kingdom and the Business Alliance was sincere and unbreakable, and that the preferential tax exemption treatment for the glass sales of the Trimber Kingdom would continue for a hundred years......
In fact, this is a strategy of the Seven Giants of the Business Alliance, which is to put everything on the bright side, let the Trimber Kingdom see how serious the dissent is, we have already shown our friendly attitude with the Trimber Kingdom, and now it is the turn of the Trimber Kingdom. As the biggest beneficiary of glass production and sales, should the Kingdom of Trimber take a step back, even if it does not change the preferential tax exemption treatment of glass sales, it should also take the initiative to donate some or engage in charity or something, so that everyone's face looks good.
It's a pity that the business alliance's actions are all in vain for the blind to light the lamp and throw it to the blind man. In the eyes of Trimbert VII, all this was deserved by the kingdom, and even the overtures of the business alliance in the newspapers were regarded by Trimber VII as a sign of weakness. He also triumphantly said to the ministers, "Look, those merchants can't do anything without our kingdom, which is why they hype up the friendship that our kingdom of Trimber has bestowed upon them in the newspapers......
That Trimber VII is an idiot with only one tendon in his head! This is the consensus of the Seven of the Business Alliance. Therefore, when the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce auctioned the two letters about the glass recipe and production process, everyone maintained the same understanding, that is, to knock down the kingdom of Trimber, lest he think that he was the eldest and the second every day, and did not take the business alliance seriously.
In addition, the fact that a few more glass manufacturers would be of great benefit to the merchant alliance was the difference between the merchant and the nobles about the auction, which considered it a normal business transaction and could not find a reason to interfere. And for the nobles, especially Trimber VII, who only has one tendon in his head, this is a major matter related to the life and death of the Trimber Kingdom, and he will never let those two letters be auctioned off......
Especially after the letter sent back by the envoy showed the opinion of the other six giants of the business alliance that it was inconvenient to interfere in this matter and that it was just a normal business transaction, Trimber VII finally broke out, since you don't care about the life and death of the Trimber Kingdom, then don't blame me for not giving face to the business alliance, he gave the order to destroy the two letters with a gloomy face.
On the evening of December 8, the envoy of the Kingdom of Trimber visited the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce again, and after another consultation, the envoy's attempt to retract the two letters was once again thwarted, and finally the envoy walked out of the door of the Chamber of Commerce and spread his hands and said, "I have done my best." Then he got into the carriage and left.
In less than half an hour, the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce was raided by seven great swordsmen and more than two dozen golden knights of the Trimber Kingdom.
The attack happened very unexpectedly, the personnel of the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce who encountered the attacker were either dead or dead, the attackers were extremely ruthless, and the soul of the sword was ruthless, and their goal was very clear, that is, the secret room where the envoy had gone to see the secret room where the two letters were hidden, and the courtyard guarded by the four Mayflower Chamber of Commerce swordsmen.
However, the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce deceived the envoy of the Trimber Kingdom a little, that is, the two letters about the glass recipe and production process were not in their hands, but under the strict surveillance of the eight Great Swordsmen sent by the Eight Academies and the third-level Great Swordsman of the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce. As for the two letters shown to the envoy, they were forged by the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce, and they were placed in the secret room and sent four great swordsmen to guard them.
These four careless Great Sword Masters were suddenly attacked, caught off guard and suffered heavy losses, except for one second-level Great Sword Master who was seriously injured and fled while resisting, the remaining three first-level Great Sword Masters were killed on the spot, and the guards of the Chamber of Commerce were not one of them, and the ground was full of stumps and broken bodies......
The Trimber Kingdom dispatched a third-level great sword master this time, two second-level great sword masters and four first-level great sword masters, as well as twenty-seven golden guards, except for one first-level great sword master who was killed by the other party, another first-level great sword master was seriously injured, and five golden knights were killed and wounded, it was considered to have achieved the goal very smoothly.
The third-level great sword master tore the two letters into irreparable pieces in two or three strokes, and prepared to evacuate. It's a pity that they can't go.
As one of the seven giants of the business alliance, the location of the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce is naturally the inner city of Morent City, and it is also the most heavily guarded area, when the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce came from the sound of killing and screaming, the city defense garrison force had already begun to be on alert, and when the second-level great sword master fled, the surrounding city defense garrison and the rest of the chamber of commerce sent out people to assist in the defense.
After a while, the news that the attackers were very tricky and the city defense garrison had suffered extremely heavy casualties came over there, the seven giants were all alarmed, and the master great sword masters of each chamber of commerce immediately dispatched, and even the eight great sword masters of the eight academies who guarded the letter were also divided into four people to support under the leadership of the third-level great sword master of the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce.
The attackers couldn't escape, and after a fierce battle in the middle of the night, one-third of the inner city of Moldant City was destroyed, and countless innocent people were killed. Seeing that they couldn't escape, these great swordsmen and golden knights from the Trimber Kingdom set fire to kill people with one heart and did everything, causing great trouble to the pursuers.
In the end, the third-level great swordsman of the Trimber Kingdom was injured and fled, and a second-level great swordsman ran out in disguise, and the rest were all swept away and became corpses placed on the ground.
When the president of the Mayflower Chamber of Commerce angrily led people to find the envoy of the Kingdom of Trimber, the envoy spread his hands again and said, "I have done my best." Then black blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and he actually died of poison on the spot......
This is the famous Mayflower Merchant Raid in the history of Galintyaton, but what no one expected at the time was that it was this event that kicked off the flames of the Raging Rags, a family known as the Roaring Bears rose to power in the Northlands, and eventually created a great and powerful Angry Bear dynasty.
