The mixed-race middle-aged man with a dark face, made a cross movement on his chest, and said bitterly: "Our chamber of commerce inspected the trade link by itself, and when we arrived at the route part, we found that a Nanyang cargo ship was overloaded, and the cargo damage and customs declaration categories were wrong...... It was actually a ship that was mostly carrying rubber, and it arrived late after a storm, but when we checked, the captain locked himself in the captain's room, drank a bomb and committed suicide, and the first mate opened the sea valve at the bottom of the ship...... The entire team was damaged, and the remaining crew members who came up were detained and tortured, but those few were just pawns, and no one knew the list of personal contacts......"

A young businessman waved his hands, his nose was red, and his eyes were burning urgently: "These pig gongs, all of them are caught!"

"That's a good idea, sir. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Restrained his sneering expression, he stroked his chest and bowed with Brietan-style etiquette, and said with a cold humor: "You know that there are more than 300 cargo ships in our company, and there are more than 50 suspicious ships on the route during this period, so it is impossible to detain and torture them on a large scale, and most of them have already left the port...... According to this wise gentleman's idea, we can watch more wealth disappear at sea. ”

The young businessman from before turned red.

Others exchanged words for a while, and some people accused: "It was a mistake to lease these members of the Lu Navy to sail the ship in the first place!"

"They are cheap, they hardly need money, not to mention pensions, you can only hire one on the island for the same ten captains! No, it's half, the captain is not happy to come to the remote Far East, he has to take half a year off on the island to enjoy afternoon tea and banquets, discuss their sugar ......cane plantations in the colonies," Zhang Fuchs's smile was even more sarcastic.

The crowd was silent.

Zhang Fox also paused to sneer and sneered lightly: "And the captain here can work without life, no holiday rest, no anchorage, and the fastest efficient transshipment route, which makes our cargo cross the ocean twice as fast as the Frans and the Francs...... Gentlemen, whether you admit it or not, we cannot dismiss all the local staff, we cannot even torture them, we can only find the list...... Otherwise, trust me, most of the captains will disappear into some port, taking our money with them. ”

The word money stimulated everyone's emotions, and they endured their dissatisfaction and said, "So, where is this list?"

Zhang Fox said: "That's a question for my colleagues at the exchange." ”

"I'm sorry, gentlemen, the trader has disappeared and run away, and we found his body in a small alley...... Here are the photos. ”

A brown-haired old man held a photo and distributed it, and the black-and-white picture showed a young man lying on his back on the ground, covered in bullet holes: "His name is Hong Zhou, a veteran trader, who has never made a mistake before, is a star in the trading market, when we found him, he had been dead for twelve hours, and could not find any clues, his fiancée had disappeared in advance, and it was suspected that he had already been transferred...... And the gunshot wound on the deceased's body has been examined and is the most commonly used pistol in the party, that is to say, ......"

"Bastard, this doesn't matter to my moving company! Are you going to tell me that it was a coincidence that the robbers shot the trader who had just succeeded? and that the two bodies were ......?"

"After being identified, it was determined that he was an employee of two banks...... But unfortunately, it was the Frans Kaolin Flower Bank and the Knights of the One Will Bank, respectively, who refused to hand over the account stubs of employee information and passing funds, and ......" The brown-haired old man paused and spread his hands: "Probably gloating." ”

"The report said that more than a dozen banks were transiting large sums of money at the same time...... But the problem is that they are fragmented, and the employees who buy them out can't distinguish them from other funds, and the worse news is that it has been involved in seven countries, and probably more...... I thought it couldn't be the responsibility of our bank, and we did our best. ”

"The exchange is only responsible for trading, at that time I even thought that person was arranged by you, and the time of the start was just close to the same, and there was a small shock in the price of smuggled rubber in the market before, I thought you had urgently changed your mind and harvested in advance. ”

"Has anyone predicted when we will operate?"

"Impossible...... No one but God can tell the time for sure, it must be a traitor among us, who is Judas? Who stole everyone's money?"

"It's not our bank ...... anyway"

"No! you vampires are the most suspicious!"

"Be careful, you're talking to the creditor!"

The well-dressed men of the United Chamber of Commerce quarreled loudly, accused each other, and even brandished civilized sticks, threw dueling gloves at each other, tore each other's collars, and turned a good negotiation venue into a brawl venue...... The brawls in the upper and lower councils were much more exciting and lively than this.

Just as he was looking at his watch frequently, no longer expecting to attend this time, and began to calculate when he would be able to go back and enjoy the snacks prepared by the maid, the door of the "bang" conference room suddenly opened, and a man in a black cloak walked in, the hem of the black cloak crossed the smooth marble mirror floor, and it seemed that he walked silently to the side of the president of the chamber of commerce like a ghost, and whispered a few words......

Most of the people in the brawl hadn't noticed this scene yet, just regarded them as ordinary people, and a small number of old people watched this person come in with a slight change in their faces, and a strange cold feeling made them tremble, and when they saw the person again, they withdrew again, and they didn't take off their cloaks from beginning to end, and they couldn't see their faces clearly.

The president was silent for a while, as if calculating something, beckoned a few old men over and said a few words, and finally stood up and clapped his hands: "All right, gentlemen, don't be suspicious of each other, the enemy is not here...... Put away your swords and muskets. ”

Brush Brush Brush -

Everyone's eyes turned to him, and George sat up straight, looking interested, and saw the old man say, "I have just received a report to determine the cause of the loss on the last trade...... Specific to each step, we were sniped in a very amazing way, and the details will be revealed to you after the meeting...... The good news is that with the help of some friends from the Dark World, we can trust that our money, accounts, and list of betrayers are in the hands of a man named Len Ji. ”

"Ji?"

Everyone was stunned, and George's face became serious: "God, don't tell me it's that Ji ......"

"That's it, Demon Chronicle, his son, who has apparently given birth to a more powerful demon on the corpse of a demon, not just sniping us militarily, but also destroying our economic order in the Far East...... It's very dangerous, Consul George, you have torch-like eyes that will tell us what to do next. ”

George took a deep breath: "The list must be traced and this person must be hunted down...... We can't let people take a bite of the flesh and not react to it, that would be a provocation to the glory of the empire and provoke some fools to follow suit...... This is not in line with Her Majesty's expectations for this land. ”

"God bless Her Majesty!"

Everyone unanimously reached a resolution, and the president of the Chamber of Commerce nodded: "My old friends, we have set out to hunt ...... I'm sure everybody is generous when it comes to pay, right?"

“...... All right. ”

As the meeting had dispersed, George said to the president as he got into the carriage: "My friend, please be careful not to get too close to your dark friends, for you cannot stay in the dark and ignorant Far East forever and one day return to the island where God is bathed in light, can you?"

"Rest assured, I'll have enough money to buy indulgences then...... Haha......" The president made a joke, put on his top hat, boarded a carriage, and drove to his villa.

............

In the dilapidated small courtyard of the urban village, there are a few people standing under the big jujube tree, and some idle villagers outside the door are watching the excitement.

"Wang Rong!" Ji Lun snorted.

"Here!"

"Promoted to second lieutenant!

"Yes!"

Wang Rong, the eldest, stepped forward to take a wooden pallet of military uniforms, military ranks and appointment certificates, looking excited and incredulous, Ji Lun patted his shoulder to comfort, watched the other party retreat, and shouted:

"Liu Lin!"

"Here!"

"Promoted to sergeant! I order you to be the acting platoon commander of the second platoon!"

"Yes!"

The ceremony was actually simple, and the young man Liu Lin couldn't suppress his joy, received the epaulettes, and muttered: "I'm an imperial soldier again." ”

Regarding his simple statement, Ji Lun remained silent and said, "Ji case!"

"Here!"

"Promoted to sergeant! I order you to be the acting platoon commander of the third platoon!"

"Yes!"

The old scalper's silent expression was in a trance, and he returned to normal, nodding his head and taking the saber and military uniform.

"Sun Jin!"

"Here!"

"Promoted to warrant officer! Ordered you to be the staff officer of the company!"

"Yes!"

Sun Jin pushed his glasses, suppressed his joy, saluted, and stepped forward to take it.

The award was completed, and the four people in front of him "snapped" upright.

Ji Lun's eyes swept over, and he sighed with some emotion, in the past, even if they shouted to return to the team, tiredness and loss were always hidden between their eyebrows, but at this time, they were radiant.

This is the power of the glory and fame of the Imperial soldiers.

Ji Lun explained the task: "We have a number and a name, we can recruit openly, and we have to recruit three squads of recruits for training...... At first, each platoon could be insufficient, but the shelves of the three squads and companies had to be erected. ”

"In the first class, we had to train ourselves. ”

"Yes!" the four replied loudly, and their eyes couldn't help but turn to the villagers who were watching outside, and when the villagers heard this, they all dispersed in a hurry, making people speechless for a while.

"Leave them alone, it's not them that we're recruiting now. "They do have the largest potential numbers, but they won't be involved until we take control of the countryside," Guillen said. ”

"At this point in time, we are now targeting the unemployed urban workers. ”

"You've worked on the docks, and you know how to find them—go!"

"Yes!" the four of them snapped. (To be continued.) )
