Off the coast of Lisbonto, the rain swept like a huge wide curtain, the waves rolled up several meters high, fiercely slapped on a huge merchant ship, at the top of the merchant ship, a red double-headed eagle grabbed the coat of arms of the scales, and was straightened by the rain and the sea breeze, at the front of the merchant ship, a dark-skinned, majestic body like a black bear, a middle-aged man with a broad face, was looking keenly at the sea in front of him, his thick and explosive arms were full of muscle arches, almost twice as thick as ordinary people, the clothes on his body were black and red, and the rain was pouring down on him, but he didn't seem to feel the slightest, as if he didn't know the coldness of the rain at all

The middle-aged man's face was calm and abnormal, his short flaxen-colored hair stood upright, and his cold gaze was like a sharp sword trying to tear open the rain curtain in front of him and project it onto the world behind the rain curtain, on the deck behind him, a handsome young man wearing a feather hat on his head, a red delicate dress on his upper body, and pure black leather pants on his lower body, was walking up from behind the deck of the ship,

"Father, the news is confirmed, the Imperial Army has abandoned the Istan region and is withdrawing to the Eastern Province! The plan of the merchant group has succeeded!" said the young man with an excited expression, the red and yellow breasts on his chest were inlaid with the same double-headed eagle mark, this is the coat of arms of the double-headed eagle merchant group in the southern kingdom of the Inland Sea, Feizene, the number one in strength, and the president of the merchant group is called Di Moses, and it is the middle-aged man standing on the bow of the ship,

The young man who looks very similar to him in the back is his son Dimochoa, on the side of the merchant ship where the two are standing, more than a dozen merchant ships of the same size are rising and falling with the waves, in fact, a day ago, the merchant fleet of the double-headed eagle merchant group has arrived in the open sea of Lisbento, and the reason why they did not enter Lisbento is to wait for this news

"How many days is the day of the pact?" asked Timothy

"Today is the twenty-sixth day! There are four days left, and the deadline for the contract is over. The news should have arrived, and at this time, Lisbonto should have been in a mess" Dimoa raised his head and looked ahead, his voice paused, a chill flashed in his eyes, and he sneered and said, "This time, even if the other party prepares enough goods, it is useless, the imperial army is defeated, will the other party dare to sell to us?"

"After investing so much money and energy, all you get in the end is a blank hope. I have to pay ten times the liquidated damages, even if it doesn't collapse immediately, it will be a big loss, and within a year, I am afraid that I will not be able to recover my vitality, not to mention, because of the impact of this incident, I really want to see the annoyed and painful faces of the vultures of the Falcon Empire in Lisbonto. It must be very exciting!"

Vulture is a contemptuous name given by the merchants of the southern part of the Inland Sea to the merchants of the Northern Falcon Empire, implying that wherever there are people, there will be merchants of the Falcon Empire, and the merchants of the empire are already mixed. The means of doing business are often to take advantage of the abundant funds and depress the market to grab the maximum profits, which has a very great impact on the economic system of the entire south. In just over two years since the opening of the Inland Sea, the Empire has already bankrupted thousands of small merchants in the southern region, which is why most of the southern region is very hostile to the Falcon Empire

"Four days to go!"

Timothy muttered to himself. Hands clenched unnaturally, standing here, the pressure is really great, looking at the scene of the white waves in front of him, a deep flash, the upcoming victory is so easy, why do you feel uneasy in your heart,

"Father, the news has spread, Lisbento must be in turmoil, do we need to send someone to Lisbento in advance?, otherwise it will ......"

Di Mojoya looked at the majestic back of his father in front of him, and said with some hesitation, he is the character of a young man, he has always done things in a hurry, a little less middle-aged and calm, but more of the sharpness of a young man, as the successor specially cultivated by Di Moses, his talent in business will naturally not be bad, but this time in the face of such a big interest, his heart is really a little unable to sit still, what if the Imperial Chamber of Commerce that signed the contract runs away?

"Don't worry, if those merchant groups really ran away, wouldn't it be better!" Di Moses was obviously much more sophisticated, and his face was accustomed to all kinds of storms, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his tone was calm and terrifying, "If it really ran away, wouldn't it be better? What does this mean?" Di Mojoya was surprised when he heard this, what did his father mean by this? Although everyone has not really given money to deliver the goods, if those business groups have run away, although there will be no loss for this transaction, but the profit will naturally be much less." Don't forget that our trade request was sent through the Lisbon Business Union "Timothy turned from the front and glanced at his bewildered son in a chilling voice" If one of the parties to the transaction runs away, then the business alliance as an intermediary must bear the responsibility of the other party for breach of contract, such a huge amount of compensation, even the business alliance of Lisbento, will not be able to support and collapse, our goal is the business alliance, we want to make the credibility of the business alliance completely ruined, so that the trade system established by the business alliance collapses from the inside!"

"This time, the top ten major merchant groups in the south joined forces, used eighty percent of the reserve tickets, and used more than 10 million funds as the confidence to suddenly attack Lisbonto, what we are pursuing is this, the collapse of the Lisbonto business alliance is our biggest victory, so that we can fundamentally suppress the pressure of the imperial merchant groups on the south"

This is a war that cannot be seen, but its importance is even more important than the bloodshed of a real war

"It's not just the merchants in the south who are watching, it's the royal families of the six southern countries who are fully cooperating," Timothy said after a pause in his voice. The reason why the Falcon Empire is so powerful that no one can match it is because behind the imperial army, there are tens of thousands of merchants under the banner of the Falcon Empire, and the wealth of our south is flowing into the Falcon Empire through these merchants, and the resources of our south are constantly being transported away by these merchant ships with the flag of the Falcon EmpireSo if those merchant groups run away, that's the best outcome!" "Yes, I see!"

Di Mojoya nodded solemnly, the Falcon Empire Business Alliance, as the most powerful business group in this continent, has overwhelmed the southern business group in two years, and can only rely on the alliance to support it. Its strength is so strong, I'm afraid it's not as simple as it can see, this time it can hit Lisbento hard, it is completely based on the defenselessness of the other party, once the other party reacts, I'm afraid it will not be so easy to deal with!, the best result is naturally through the business alliance of Lisbento, to achieve the strategic purpose of shaking the entire business alliance system,

This is not surprising. The top ten business groups in the south did not hesitate to take out their respective golden ticket reserves, and set the largest order since the inland sea trade, four days, even if the business alliance can react, I am afraid that it will not be able to return to the sky, Di Mojoya took a deep breath, looked at his father's back, and seemed to see a huge wave exploding on the bow of the ship behind him, like the roar of a beast. People are so small standing in this heaven and earth, but at this moment, it makes Dimojoya have an illusion that his father is in front of him. is using the strength of one person to fight against the city on the other side of the sea, although it is the body of a merchant, it shows the bloody killing intent of a warrior.

Is this going to slaughter the city? With the power of a merchant group, slaughtering the whole of Lisbonto, Dimojoya felt his blood boiling

Timothy turned from the front. A heavy sentence hit his heart: "Do you know, standing at the bow of the ship, the huge waves roar in my ears like thunder, just like the surging business war in front of me, as the victor, I feel not joy, but fear, why is this? After so many years in business, how can I have such a strange feeling? Is it a premonition or intuition, is it danger or imminent victory? Remember, until the last moment, getting carried away is committing suicide!"

The hall of the Lisbon Exchange is completely chaotic at the moment, the news of the defeat of the Eastern Province has brought deep despair to the merchants of the empire, if the refined iron cannot be sold, then how can so much money be recovered? There are also three times the liquidated damages, which is enough to make the well-funded Chamber of Commerce also go bankrupt overnight, all the efforts are in vain at this moment, even those big chambers of commerce that think they have tough nerves, are completely stunned at this moment, if the Lisbonto Exchange is a battlefield, then it is already full of sorrow at this moment,

"Quick, throw out all the iron you have acquired!"

The orders from the various chambers of commerce, like a great earthquake scattered from Lisbonto as the center, and the horse-drawn carriages that were still rushing towards Lisbonto were all stopped, and the commercial businesses that were happily waiting to receive the bonuses were completely confused at the moment, and there was fine iron everywhere, and the fine iron that had been sold the day before would have been robbed has become something that no one wants.

The streets are full of merchants who are frantically looking for buyers, or they are lamenting the merchants who are like dead families, gulping and drinking in the corners, and the merchant fleet gathered at the port has also stopped, and piles of tons of fine iron are placed on the dock and no one has taken them away, because no buyers have been found, so naturally they can only be placed like this, and the cold rain like white lines hits the dark and shiny surface of fine iron, and it seems that the cold air is frozen.

Sokutus Delan stood in front of the windowsill on the fourth floor of the mansion, wearing a dark black dress, slender willow eyebrows, and dark and clear eyes looking at the commercial city in front of him that seemed to have lost all its vitality in one day, drizzling, with a bit of coldness and indifference, white rain, fluttering in the wind, like a fog over the city,

The news of the defeat of the Eastern Province also reached her, at this moment, even a fool knows what the Southern Double-headed Eagle Merchant Group is planning, with the trade notice issued by the Business Alliance, the Business Alliance is the trade intermediary, if the trade object runs away, the Business Alliance must repay all the money and liquidated damages to the other party, the other party should be in such a calculation

With the largest number of refined iron in the empire as the trade target, and the war between the Eastern Province and the Istanbul Empire thousands of miles away as the final killer move, such a layout, even if you can't see it, because this is not just a trade agreement, this is a war, a war between the entire southern merchant group of the Inland Sea and the Falcon Empire Chamber of Commerce,

The battlefield without gunpowder smoke is more cruel than the battlefield, and the cold knife without the sound of killing is equally sharp and bloody.

The corpses are all over the field, the blood is flowing like a river, hundreds of imperial chambers of commerce have been involved, and more than three thousand businessmen have been affected, this loss can be described as a complete defeat, causing all these mistakes, the main responsibility lies with himself, if he takes out tens of millions of huge golden tickets from the other party to stop this matter, although it will have an impact on the reputation of the business alliance, at least there will be no such situation in front of him, this time, it is really a miscalculation!

"Miss, there is an invitation from the government office, the new government secretary Lord Tillonte has already passed the city of Naco, and he has arrived in Lisbonto tonight, the government office has prepared a dinner, and the young lady is specially invited to ......" A maid in palace clothes walked in with an invitation, and before she finished speaking, Sokutus Delan didn't accept the invitation, so she directly refused" Lisbento is already like this, and the new government official still has the heart to hold a dinner, it doesn't seem to be a good thing! The maid shuddered, and hurriedly turned to leave, the situation in the city in a day or two can be felt by a normal person, not to mention that as a servant of Sokutus Delan, he knows more, but not long after, the maid walked back again, "What's the matter? Didn't you understand what I said?" Sokutus Delan raised her head, her eyes were cold, and the maid's face turned pale, "Miss, the people in the government heard that Miss refused, so they left this!"

The maid hesitantly put a document in her hand on the table, and Sokutus Dylan looked at it, and her gaze froze,

This...... How is it possible!Sokutus Dylan's eyes flashed, she could hardly believe her eyes, and in order to confirm, she hurriedly walked over,

The white fingers even trembled slightly to pick up the Chinese scroll, the red and white seal into the eyes, it seems that it is indeed a commonly used manuscript used by the government government, but the red fire paint on the seal of the manuscript is the target of her attention

It was a falcon coat of arms with wings outstretched, pressed on the seal of fire paint, vivid, still very bright red, at first glance, it was the latest to seal,

Only one person is qualified to use such a seal

Even the Ministry of the Interior of the Reich is not so qualified, let alone a mere regional government in Lisbento,

"You go down first!" Sokutus Dylan held back the greatest excitement in her heart and waved her hand to the maid,

When the maid left, Sokutus Delan slowly opened the scroll in her hand, and the contents of it made her eyes light up, and her excited hand covered her mouth, which was to avoid herself from making a cheerful sound,

Lisbento is saved!(To be continued......
