Chapter 576: Hard
While Joe was giving orders in the port of Tulum, Hesse was slapping the table and roaring.
This is, the Tulum Harbor Navy Club, the second floor meeting room.
"Ice Sea Kingdom, we must unconditionally release all the police, militia, and joint defense teams of the Loehugang Branch of the Tulun Port Police Station who were kidnapped by you, as well as all the people of Loefgang who were captured by them, and return all the property looted by them!"
The long conference table was slammed by Hesse, and the entire room trembled with his roar.
Duke Ross sat quietly at one end of the conference table, beneath the huge painting of Her Majesty the Empress.
Opposite Duke Ross, a smiling and unstrained Dirks sat quietly, looking playfully at the roaring and angry Hesse.
"I repeat once again, the Loewgang incident has nothing to do with the home fleet of the glorious kingdom navy."
Dirks waited until Hesse's roar subsided, and then he was unhurried, using the arrogance unique to the group of aristocratic gentlemen in the Ice Sea Kingdom, picking his chin, and using his self-righteous tone to calm down, but in the eyes of the nobles of other countries, most of them responded to Hesse in a somewhat yin and yang tone.
"It is impossible for the Lord's Navy's home fleet to behave in such an unseemly, almost pirate-like manner."
Dex smiled and shook his head lightly at Hesse, "Perhaps, you should go to those pirates in the stormy ocean and consult carefully?" β
Hesse slapped his hands on the conference table, and he glared at Dirks: "We have a witness!" You did it. β
Black Mamba, Black Frog, and Black Bull took a step forward.
Dirks glanced at the three Black Mambas contemptuously and shook his head gently: "Slaves have no human rights, and every word that comes out of their mouths cannot be valid evidence. β
The eyes of the three Black Mambas suddenly turned red.
The Black Mamba squinted one-eyed and muttered gloomily, "Again, again......"
Since Hesse returned from Hyderabad and issued an official letter inviting the arrogant and arrogant Rear Admiral of the Ice Sea Kingdom to the port of Tulum for an official meeting, this is the first time that the Black Mamba brothers have been insulted in person?
In the Ice Kingdom, the natives from the Black Continent are all slaves, and most of them are sold to the giant plantations of the major colonies to serve as the lowest coolies. In the minds of the nobles of the Ice Sea Kingdom, the slaves of the Black Continent have no human rights, they are not intelligent creatures, but big animals such as cattle and horses.
This made the Black Mamba brothers feel extremely insulted.
Anger is piling up in my heart, brewing, fermenting......
Hesse looked at Dekes with a gloomy face, and he said in a deep voice: "I reiterate once again, the Black Mamba are members of the Hessian family, and they are official citizens of the Delen Empire......"
Dirks pulled his voice and sighed in a voice similar to an opera aria: "The kingdom of self-willed depravity...... Only such a country will pour sewage on the home fleet of the glorious kingdom's navy. β
With a sigh, Dirks stood up, pulled out a document from his briefcase, and threw it in front of Hesse.
"Duke of Hesse, this is a letter of representation signed by Admiral Dulinde, commander of the Ice Sea Kingdom's home fleet."
"My country, order the port of Tulum to release the members of the hydrographic survey team of the home fleet that you ambushed, attacked, and kidnapped by shameless means. Otherwise, you will be responsible for all the consequences arising therefrom. β
Hesse pulled out his cigar, held it to the corner of his mouth, and began to puff out the clouds.
He stared at Dirks gloomily: "They are a bunch of shameless bandits...... They invaded the territory of the port of Tulum. β
Dirks raised his chin and said to Hesse proudly: "They are a group of highly professional survey team, and they are not regular combatants. They just used the wrong old map and accidentally strayed into the port of Tulum. β
With a sneer, Dirks pulled out another document.
"Here is an official note from the Consulate General of the Ice Sea Kingdom in the port of Tulun, in which they hope that your country will release the two hundred and thirty-nine officials and employees of the Consulate General who disappeared in the port of Tulun on the night of January 30 last year."
Hesse grinned, "Oh, oh, I seem, I've repeated it no less than ten times...... We, don't know anything about the disappearance of these bastards. Perhaps, they were also kidnapped by pirates? β
Dirks frowned angrily: "Your Excellency Hesse, this is boring...... They disappeared in the port of Tulum, could it be that pirates could break into the port of Tulun and kidnap them? β
Hesse coughed heavily: "General Dex, your country's hydrographic survey team can run to the vicinity of St. Hilde's Mountain...... Then, it is only natural that a group of pirates will invade the port of Tulum on New Year's Eve. β
Hesse smiled brightly.
He stared at Dex with fierce eyes.
Dekes and the Ice Kingdom's home fleet are clearly scoundrels. They refused to admit that they had abducted the policemen from the Loeffgang substation, and they did not admit that the thousands of young girls who had disappeared in the town of Loehugang had anything to do with them.
Then, Hesse will never admit that the few surviving knights of the Giant Demon Knights, as well as a group of diplomats and employees of the Consulate General of the Ice Kingdom in the port of Tulun who were wiped out that night, as well as some of their long-term ambush spies and secret agents, were all dealt with by the port of Tulun.
Both sides have chips.
Both sides are jealous.
But both sides are stalling for time......
Hesse smoked his cigar and his face darkened.
After returning to Port Tulun from Hyderabad, before he had a day off, he was captured by Duke Ross to fight with the arrogant 'gentlemen' of the Ice Sea Kingdom, Texas, for more than half a month, and there was no substantial progress.
Think of the weeping guards in the family.
Their husbands and sons were taken captive in Loewgang, on the land of the Witturs.
Think of the old men and women from Loewgang who have been gathering at the city hall of Port Tulun for more than half a month and refuse to go home.
It's just a matter of one night, and when they wake up from their slumber, their daughters and granddaughters evaporate out of thin air.
There are even some local tyrants in the town of LΓΆfgang, their safes or underground treasure houses were violently broken, and the floating wealth they stored at home was washed away after a night's work.
The local tyrant family with the worst losses was robbed of more than 300,000 gold marks in cash!
In the entire town of Loewgang, excluding the girls who were taken captive, the loss of cash and other wealth alone in one night was discounted by more than 100 million gold marks!
What a rich town...... However, Lefgang Town's important position on the smuggling territory of Tulun Port before Lefgang was relegated, and this loss was also a matter of course, and those inconspicuous townspeople, they were really rich!
But now, these missing people, the stolen wealth, all the pressure, is weighing on Hesse's shoulders.
As the boss of the Council of Seven of the Port of Tulum and the uncrowned king of the Port of Tulum...... Oh, oh, Hesse, who now has the title of duke and has a province as a fief, is not an uncrowned king, he has truly become the highest and most powerful man in the port of Tulum!
Even, if Hesse is given a little time, even the influence of the Duke of Ross in the port of Tulum will be suppressed by Hesse.
After all, the fiefdom of the Duke of Rus' Isle of Casica was too barren to support many soldiers.
And the territory of Hesse and his two sons, if the father and son really have a heart, they are enough to form an elite army of millions of people and arm them to the teeth with gold coins!
So, Hesse has to take on the pressure!
As the most powerful boss of Port Tulum today, he must solve the troubles of Loewgang.
"Dex, we've seen each other so many times, and we've had no less than thirty meetings these days, right?" Hesse puffed smoke and said slowly: "There must be a result. β
Dirks looked at Hesse with a smile, and he nodded slowly: "Of course, there will be a result." No one can murder an Imperial soldier without paying the price! β
"Murder?" Hesse grinned, stretched out a finger thicker than a carrot, and pointed at Dirks fiercely: "Boy, over the years, I have seen many little guys who are as arrogant as you, or even more arrogant than you...... In the end, they all died! β
Behind Dex, several well-dressed naval officers stepped forward at the same time, glaring at Hesse one by one.
Dekes waved his hand slightly, he raised his chin, and sneered extremely proudly: "The Ice Sea Kingdom, the home fleet, has given me enough arrogant courage. If you have any comments about me, we can take the naval way......"
Dex smiled contemptuously at Hesse: "Just off the coast of Tulum Harbor, five miles from the Golden Fleece Headland Fort and the Silver Bull Cape Fort, let's have a fair ...... Naval showdown? β
Hesse kept his mouth shut.
Duke Ross closed his eyes.
The Imperial Navy of Delen, the temporary commander of the Tulun Port Detachment, a thin and thin naval colonel bowed his head in embarrassment, and his old face, which was blown by the sea breeze, turned red in an instant.
A fair battle with the Ice Kingdom's native fleet?
The kingdom of St. Sia can do it...... The Delen Empire must not be able to do it.
"Well, then, let your army ashore." Hesse was silent for a long time, and he said in a deep voice: "Just west of Loefgang, near the mountains, we have a head-on battle with the army. β
"We won, you let them go."
"You win, let's release them."
Hesse said in a deep voice: "The troops dispatched by both sides can be fair. 30,000 each, how's that? Save saying, we rely on people to bully you! β
This time, it was Dex's turn to change his face slightly.
Army of the Ice Sea Kingdom?
Hehe...... The scum of the scum, the garbage of the garbage, the waste of the waste, you expect that group of criminals to be the opponent of the elite army of the Delen Empire?
Of course, if it is a Marine Corps with the home fleet, the effect is different.
But even the Marines......
Can their combat effectiveness compete with the elite field army of the Delen Empire?
Fighting land wars, the Delen Empire is a professional!
Dirks grimaced, silent for a while.
"Then, let's accompany!" A gruff voice came from outside the conference room, and a large furry hand pushed open the door to the conference room.
