2381 The Wind Passes Through the Corridor (1)
The news of the Imperial Navy's shelling of Luansok at night has reached Lisbonto before the sky is completely clear, the southernmost point of the empire is only more than ten miles away from Luansok, and the cannon sound of the Imperial Navy ships shocking the sea can be heard in the dead night, not to mention that the port of Luansok was blown up into a super firework, and the firelight bears stained the sky on the horizon red, as long as you are not blind, you can see the clouds in the sky in the distance that seem to be burning, and there are constantly red lights flashing, like a flash of thunder on a rainy night,
"What's that?"
Countless Imperial people were awakened by the sound of cannons on the sea, and everyone poured up to the top of the city, looking across the sea in the direction of Luansok
The ships docked in the harbor were also filled with dense people, all of them were stunned to see the terrible scene on the other side of the sea like a natural disaster, no one gnawed, or they all forgot to speak, only to see the wide sea, one after another imperial warships lying horizontally, rows of firelight between the warships undulating and flickering, like the stars in the sky twinkling, white gunpowder smoke like a layer of white mist on the sea surface for several miles,
"It's spectacular! Are those stars on the sea?"
A child sits on the neck of a middle-aged man, looking at the scene in the distance, dancing with his hands, his eyes are shining, for the child, the scene in front of him is much more lively than the festival "yes, that's the stars!"
His father said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes swept over, and his face was not so good-looking, as an adult, and he was also the head of intelligence of a certain country in the Falcon Empire, he naturally knew what he was seeing! It was a spectacular scene of the Imperial ship group shelling, and the Imperial ship group was shelling Luansok! This ...... What the hell is going on! The middle-aged man's gray-blue pupils, which have been blown by the sea breeze all the year round, are now completely occupied by the firelight, and his hands are unconsciously clenched together, which is terrifying! Everyone knows that the Imperial Navy fleet has the ability to shell the land shore. even once shelled the imperial capital of the Gangfei Empire, but after all, it was a rumor that was released after how many people had been reached.
Who dares to say that it is not the smoke bombs released by the Imperial Navy in order to deter the countries by force, according to his own experience at sea for so many years, he thinks that the elements are exaggerated, and the artillery ability of the Imperial Navy is there, but the damage that can be caused should be quite limited
This time I lurked in the southernmost city of the empire, didn't I think of taking advantage of the convenience of being close to the entrance to the inland sea. You can observe the Imperial Navy warships at close range, and at the same time have a reasonable assessment of the real combat power of the Imperial Navy warships, but unfortunately, after staying in this city for almost half a year, I have seen more than 100 Imperial Navy warships, and even figured out the firepower configuration of some Imperial Navy warships, but the most core thing has never been able to do.
Imperial Navy warships were very well guarded. The battleship can be seen, but it can't be approached, let alone what the power of the Navy Thor is when it is actually launched, because there is no such opportunity at all. The Strand Navy has collapsed, and now who dares to provoke the Falcon Empire Navy?
If you don't know the power of the Navy Thor, there is no way to evaluate the combat power of the Imperial Navy, let alone decide the entire situation in the Inland Sea on those occasions. The rumored naval Armageddon was the pinnacle of the naval duel between the major navies of the Inland Sea and the Imperial Navy, which was still an intruder at the time. The fight of tens of thousands of sailors, the crazy battle of more than 100 main warships, ordinary people, where can you see it?
But tonight, he saw that when the cruel reality was in front of him, the middle-aged man's heart was like a cold fall into an ice cave at the moment, and the evaluation conclusion of the imperial navy's combat power had been written very clearly in his mind, but he himself didn't want to admit that the conclusion of the bombardment of the Gangfei imperial capital was true and reliable, in the inland sea area, as long as the empire was willing, the imperial navy's force was enough to destroy any port city, and the number of imperial navy warships on the sea was about twenty to thirty, which was in line with the size of a detachment, and it was such a detachment, just a light stroke, and the horizon sky of Luansok, which was as red as blood in the distanceWhat a hell on earth, "What a power!"
The middle-aged man was a little bitter and powerless, although it was still separated by more than ten miles of sea, and there was a black sea, but every time there was a whole row of firelight from the side of the battleship, the rumbling sound followed, and the middle-aged man could feel the scorching heat of the row, on the evening of May 30, Luansok, the largest port in the southern Fizer Kingdom, was shelled by the Imperial Navy, the entire port collapsed, more than 3,000 casualties, and on the same night, more than a dozen ports in the southern part of the Inland Sea broke out armed conflicts because of commercial disputes, and the Imperial Navy appeared almost for the first time in the outer seas of these areas where conflicts broke out, and the atmosphere of saber rattling seemed to be overnight, the Imperial Navy declared war on the entire southern coast!
The hall of the business alliance of Lisbonto with the red spire was crowded with merchants, and the sound of discussion echoed in the hall, today is the last moment to fulfill the contract, no matter how unwilling the merchants are, the contract must be fulfilled after signing it, otherwise the grade that has taken countless efforts to raise will be affected, not only all the efforts are in vain, but the huge amount of liquidated damages will also make you bankrupt, hand over the goods, at least keep the grade, and there is still room for recovery after spending a while," Did you hear about it, the Imperial Navy shelled Luansok last night!" A merchant whispered beside another merchant "I heard about it, I don't know if it's true!" The merchant nodded, looking left and right "But think about it, the six southern countries attacked the Imperial army in the Empire of Istanbul, I didn't expect the Empire to retaliate so quickly" It's almost certain, isn't this the style of the empire, the six countries do not declare war on the empire, the empire simply retaliates with a tooth for a tooth, the same is an undeclared war, the alliance of the six countries is still barely wearing the fig leaf of aiding the Iranian Empire, and the empire does not even want a fig leaf, and directly shoots at Fei Ze, who has always been the vanguard of the six southern countries, this is the style of our empire in the past."
"If you want to fight, I will fight! The shelling of Luansok is really very happy, you don't know that when the news reached Lisbonto, I was immediately full of energy, the empire started a war against Fetzer, and it was also the navy used, it was really a stroke of genius!" The merchants were waiting, and naturally hung the news of the Imperial shelling of Luansok. It is also the content that businessmen are most concerned about, and they talk to each other from head to ear
During the discussion, I don't know who said, "The navy has attacked Luansok, and the fleet of the Double-headed Eagle Merchant Group will not be able to go north safely."
The hall suddenly fell silent, the eyes of the merchants lit up one by one, and the originally sad faces quickly revealed a bit of joy, yes, why didn't you expect it, under the blockade of the Imperial Navy, the double-headed eagle merchant group could not go north to Lisbonto at all. In this case, this agreement is the other party's breach of the contract, although the purchase of fine iron costs a lot of money, but as long as the goods are in hand, it can naturally be sold, at most it is a small loss, and the previous situation of almost bankruptcy, this war broke out is too timely, if the front is enough to make Lisbonto vitality a catastrophe. Now it's just a storm at best,
"Miss Delan, it seems that the situation has stabilized, as long as the time comes. If there really is no one on the other side, Lisbonto will return to normal"
On the second floor of the Business Alliance, the head of the branch who was looking at the scene below turned to Sokutus Delan behind him with an extremely respectful expression. If the previous awe was only because of the whole woman's staggering performance and iron wrist in several storms, now it is because of this woman's ability
"Immediately mobilize funds from nearby areas. Preparing for the next big acquisition"
Sokutus Delan said calmly, his eyes fell on the direction of the port in the distance through the glass on the second floor, the fleet of the Double-headed Eagle Merchant Group will not come, the entire fleet was sunk by the Imperial Navy off the coast of Lisbonto, and all thirty-three ships sank to the bottom of the sea, and the whole fleet had no life! This news will never reach Lisbonto, and it will not even be recorded in any way, the fleet responsible for the attack is also used to report the ammunition consumed by encountering pirates, and there is no trace of the vast sea, no matter what the southern merchant group says, the fleet is at sea, anything will happen, who knows where the double-headed eagle merchant fleet went?
"Big acquisition?" Miss Delan mean?" the head of the Business Alliance branch was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned a little pale
"The business alliance will come forward to buy all the fine iron on the market, as for the double-headed eagle business group, the other party will not come!" Sokutus Dai Lan smiled at the corner of his mouth, charming and natural, he has been suppressed for so long, how many people are waiting in the dark to see their jokes, even if it is within the business alliance, there are all kinds of rumors, this time, he can finally vent the evil anger in his heart
"Yes, I understand!" The eyes of the person in charge of the business alliance widened suddenly, and he felt a chill cold to his bones, the rumors in the business alliance, he naturally heard it, but with the previous lesson, before the situation is clear, no one dares to 1 show the slightest change, power is tempting, and you must have that life to enjoy
Behind the thirteenth deacon, standing the top of the empire, since the last incident has not been news, the last time such a turmoil, is already the union of the greatest power of the deacons of the business alliance, the four deacons joined forces to make trouble, seize the opportunity to chase and fight, everyone thinks that the victory is in hand, and even many people think that in front of such a force, even the imperial military will choose to retreat, who knows that the situation is not the same thing at all, the military did not come forward, but the more terrible supervision department came out, as a result, four deacons, two died and two were banished, the wind reversed overnight, this woman's position was more stable as a rock, and she held Lisbento in one hand, which shook the entire business alliance,
And this time, it is even more exaggerated, the Imperial Navy has struck! The Double-headed Eagle Merchant Group is estimated to be finished.
Sokutus Deran's words made the head of the branch not dare to think deeply, his head was almost blank, it was terrible, the truth was so obvious, the sudden attack of the Imperial Navy directly shelled the largest port in the southern Fezer, so in this sudden outbreak of conflict, who got the most benefits?
Lisbonto!
The more the person in charge of the business alliance branch thinks about it, the more chilling it seems, this woman's words, even if you think about it, it is enough to make the branch head who has half a foot into the upper echelon of the business alliance shudder, this woman has existed since the establishment of the business alliance, after the turmoil, the provocative opponent is not dead and crippled, such a character, how can it not be provoked by a person in charge of the business alliance branch, even if he really wins in this deacon competition and becomes a figure like the twelve deacons, in front of this woman, there is no capital enough to be proud, the other party does not hesitate to disclose the news to himself in advance, that is, to tell himself, Lisbento, this woman is the master!
As news came out of the halls of the Business Alliance, the lifeless atmosphere in Lisbontos quickly improved, and the merchants seemed to see new hope, and the port began to operate
The appointed time is dusk, everyone speculates until dusk, their eyes are about to see through, there is no shadow of the double-headed eagle merchant fleet in the port, when the heavy bronze bell at eight o'clock in the evening resounded over the entire Lisbento, suppressed the heavy air for nearly half a month, as if it was blown away by the breeze, there was a huge cheer in the hall of the business alliance, it passed, everything passed, many merchants cried like tears, at this moment, the original contract was invalidated, the heavy shackles pressed on the body were opened, and the joy of desperate life filled everyone's heart, enough to make people crazy
"Quick, pass it back, all the shops will resume business, and they won't close tonight" "Yes, they won't close tonight!"
The lights are like stars, and the rows of them start to spread from the Lisbonto commercial street to the surroundings, and the earth in the lights suddenly restores its proper color, with a dazzling variety of streets, brightly lit ports, and pedestrians coming and going, "Cheers, for today" The revelry crowds crowded the stone-paved streets of Lisbonto, and the joyful mood spread throughout the city, and the cheerful saxophone and huqin danced in the air to a cheerful tune, and the whole city trembled in this tune, like a hurricane, in the sky of the city, sending out bursts of pleasant echoes, and countless Lisbento merchants who exuded the smell of alcohol. Squinting drunkenly, sitting on the side of the street with a blank expression, taking a sip of wine, and looking up at the cheering crowd around him, the haggard face is full of vicissitudes, the eyes contain tears, the cheerful scene in front of them, for them, it is like a dream that never wants to wake up, this carnival of celebration of victory, will last for two days or more, under the wine glass one by one, is a face crying with joy,
This cheer was like the wind, blowing through the cloister of the Admiralty
Standing in the room of the Admiralty, his gaze retracted from the countless lights in the urban area of Lisbento in the distance, the fat man turned around and took the interrogation report sent by the Ministry of Supervision, glanced at it, signed his name, and instructed that "hand it over to the government office, arrest these people immediately, and at the same time start the second plan, and tell Varisian that you can begin!" "Yes!" The officer of the Ministry of Supervision took the report respectfully, turned to leave, and the wind passed through the corridor, shaking the light and shadow of the corridor, shining on the emperor who was lying with his head held high and his eyes like a sharp sword on the starlight galaxy lying in the vast sky (to be continued......
