A villa with a unique scenery on the outskirts of Lisbonto, the villa is not big, but the scenery is excellent, occupying the best location in this rich area, facing the sea, even in the early winter season, you can still see the villa a large area of verdant lawn, green shade, evergreen pine forest, in the surrounding other courtyards of the winter autumn autumn gray background, more show its exquisite quiet,

Although the Putao area since the empire opened the inland sea, a large number of merchants have risen, the status of the Putao as the center of the inland sea and the open sea is becoming more and more obvious, from the Putao can go north to the northern sea of Ou Baro, south to the south of the Ou Barro, and the east can enter the inland sea, the intersection of the three major maritime trades, the major chambers of commerce of the empire will migrate to this place one after another, that is, local merchants and nobles invest in marine trade and rumors abound overnight, but can be extravagant enough to spend 100,000 gold a year, just to maintain an evergreen lawn, only this one, Putao is known as No. 66, Imperial Avenue, a wealthy district with every inch of land,

The owner of this house is very mysterious, it is said to be a high-level industry of the Imperial Business Alliance, and a gorgeous woman in a black dress can often be seen in the villa, and the nearby merchants are speculating that this woman should be similar to the status of a lover of a big man, and it should be a canary raised by a wealthy businessman!

Speculation from the vicinity often comes to the ears of the thirteenth deacon of the business alliance who lives in seclusion, Sokutus Delan, who is noncommittal to these rumors, but in order to reduce the disturbance, he still greeted the Imperial Supervision Department, hoping to clean up the bad people in the vicinity, and the Imperial Supervision Department's action has always been shocking, and the head of the Lisbanto Supervision Department, who knows the identity of the owner of this villa, personally ordered all the rich people in the entire area to be invited to tea. Of course, nominally to investigate smuggling, this trick made the surrounding businessmen sell off their industries one after another, and the Ministry of Supervision took the opportunity to buy all the eight villas around No. 66 Imperial Avenue.

Give the name slip in your hand to the servant at the door. After two examinations, He Ruile saw the thirteenth deacon of the business alliance, Sokutus Deran, in the bright and spacious office, Sokutus Delan, who was sitting on a brown and red bench, dragged a delicate black dress to the ground, and the cold face that revealed a deep sense of amazement made He Ruile also feel his heart beat faster, and quickly lowered his head. Almost omitting even the most basic greetings, he directly put the report in his hand on the table, and said eagerly, "Miss Delan, please forgive me for taking the liberty of bothering, I really just got a very tricky thing." There was no one to help but Miss Delan."

"Deacon Horrell laughed, since it is a business of the Business Alliance, it is naturally a matter of Delan, not to mention helping, it would be good to be able to call it dutiful" The white hand picked up the report on the table, and Sokutus Delan had a smile on the corner of his mouth, as the deacon of the commercial alliance of marine trade, he can definitely rank in the top three in the status of the twelve deacons. He is the real powerful person in the upper echelons of the business alliance, and when he was in Salander, Sokutu Delan once beat this powerful person with the tiger skin of His Majesty the Falcon. Since then, at the deacon council, as long as it is Sokutus Delan's decision, He Ruile is a resolute user, and when it comes to his own people, Sokutus Delan naturally will not put on a businesslike face.

It's just that this time the matter really made her feel tricky, and her eyes swept over the contents of the report. Xiumei's eyebrows furrowed, but she thought about it for a moment. She knew what He Ruile was here for, and she was really the only one who had the ability to do this, according to He Ruile's identity, in fact, she could also submit this report to the Imperial Admiralty, but in terms of strength, it was far inferior to herself, the thirteenth deacon, to know that there was His Majesty the Falcon Emperor standing behind him, even if it was the Imperial Navy Minister Dustrenkai, he had to be cautious in front of him, but Sokus Stellan knew one thing very well, that is, although he had the power to mobilize the military, but in the case of the imminent war between the Empire and Fessan, he mobilized the Imperial Navy to provoke an empire without authorization, not necessarily what His Majesty Falcon wants to see "The Imperial Navy is afraid that it will be difficult to intervene, and you also know that the main forces of the Imperial Navy are currently assembled in the south of Fesan, where His Majesty personally commands" Sokutus Delan took a deep breath and said that he might not be able to do anything unless he waited until the end of the Great War before the Imperial Navy could go south to Eero

"That's going to be a bit of a problem!" He Ruile had already thought of this result when he came, but his face still showed a little sadness, and he said. The fire of Kailo Harbor caused heavy losses to the imperial merchants, if there were no strong means to intervene, the losses of the imperial merchants would be secondary, but the other southern inland countries saw that the imperial merchants were weak and could be bullied, and when the time came, they would adopt all kinds of tricky and plundering methods according to Ero, it would definitely be a disaster for the imperial merchants, and I was afraid that the emperor's high hopes for the empire's strategy of opening the inland sea would also be stagnant because of this incident, and it was difficult to say that it might even go backwards, so I had such an idea, if the imperial navy could not be dispatched, then I would have another mention of yì, that is, some......" He Ruile's voice stopped, and now he was a little hesitant, "Let's talk about it, it's not necessarily executed!"

Sokutus Delan looked at him and waved his hand, according to Sokutus Delan's cleverness, how did he not know that He Ruile had found him, but he was not here to ask for the opinion of the thirteenth deacon, what the other party really wanted to do was to pass the word to His Majesty Falcon himself, He Ruile is fifty-seven years old this year, his face is not good-looking, but he looks a little obscene because he has half of his hair, and he has a son, who was also taught a hard lesson by His Majesty Falcon in Salander, but even so, His Majesty Falcon did not deprive him of the position of deacon of the Business Alliance, and the main reason is that He Ruile's ability is very good, always able to keep up with the pace of imperial expansion, and broad-minded, otherwise the imperial maritime trade can also show a prosperous era of a hundred flowers in just a few years, rather than a monopoly era

"If you can, I hope that the young lady can forward this to the emperor."

He took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Sokutus Delan respectfully, he knew that looking at the entire southern part of Gangfei, don't look at the important ministers of the empire, but except for the governor of Varisian, that is, the woman in front of him can go directly to the emperor, because he was a little nervous, He Ruile's hand holding the secret letter trembled a little,

This time, he is ready to take a hand, on family wealth, his He Ruile family has reached the peak, even if it will continue to increase in the future, there will not be too much breakthrough development, business giants, often able to maintain more than a hundred years, the real kind of inheritance for hundreds of years, what is needed is to rely on the power of the tree will not fall, otherwise, as long as a wind and grass will be uprooted,

He Ruile, who has reached the apex as a businessman, if you want to say that the person you admire the most in your heart, that is Lidakus, who is also from a big merchant family, but has ascended to the position of governor of the empire

Even in the business circles of the empire, it is recognized that the Governor of Lidarchus has a ruthless vision, and he actually took a fancy to the emperor at a glance, who was only a small lord of Samar at that time, and his unlimited potential, not only made the Lida family eventually become the largest military industrial giant in the empire, but also ascended to the high position of governor that many imperial generals could not reach as a civilian

This time, He Ruile is also ready to gamble big, the main force of the imperial navy is indeed difficult to mobilize, but since the empire opened the inland sea, it has been encouraging the formation of armed caravans, these armed merchant fleets are equipped with weapons, and the regular navy of the empire is incomparable, most of them are weapons eliminated during the civil war, but there is still a war power against some less powerful regional navies, and even some pirates have been beaten to the point that they are almost gone, the most important thing is that according to the registration of the imperial commercial alliance, the number of armed merchant ships owned by the empire has exceeded the five thousand mark last month, what is this concept？

In other words, according to the calculation of the minimum allocation of 50 people for each armed merchant ship, that is also a staggering 250,000 people, 250,000 armed sailors, looking at the inland sea, which country can take it! The imperial merchant fleet has such a strong force, even if only one-fifth of the armed fleet enters the Hérault Sea, even if there is no strong intervention of the imperial navy, it will be enough to let the Hérault Empire eat a pot

This is a war between the Imperial Business Alliance and the Hérault Local Chamber of Commerce, the merchants of the empire are being bullied by the hostile chamber of commerce, the chamber of commerce that is lonely and helpless, and does not help, if the same thing happens, the business alliance will not come forward, there is such a righteousness, coupled with the appeal of the business alliance and the mutual care agreement between the chambers of commerce, He Ruile believes that the mobilization of two to three thousand armed merchant fleets is not a problem, and the face of controlling the sea trade for several years is still worth a few dollars after all, what really needs to be considered is the attitude of His Majesty the Falcon, as long as His Majesty does not interfere with the Imperial Navy, then this storm is blown by the imperial merchants, it will inevitably make the southern coast of Obaro tremble, I have long heard that His Majesty the Emperor intends to let the armed fleet seize the area, and then establish the colonies of the empire, if this is the case, as long as it is done properly, it is still possible to fish for a colonial governor by himself

He Ruile did not know that this secret letter he submitted, known in later generations as "Horre's ambition", was considered by historians to be the turning point of the Falcon Empire's maritime expansion strategy from point to surface" "Horrel's ambition made the sea truly linked to the imperial territory" If the early Falcon Empire's maritime strategy was mainly based on military expansion based on maritime hegemony, since this Horile's ambition, the focus of the empire's maritime strategy has shifted from maritime hegemony to colonial hegemony, which led to the Falcon Empire being made "a public enemy of the continent." The origin of the three-hundred-year Falcon Empire's expansion history, starting from the first overseas colony of Kailo to the end of the last Waguta island chain, the Falcon Empire's overseas territory is three times the control area of its native control area, and the www.biquge.info of the Biqu Pavilion of the prototype of this marine empire is He Ruile's ambition!

The letter from Sokutus Delan was delivered to the Emperor's desk on the fourth day, looking at this secret letter full of naked expansionism, the fat man had an urge to burst into tears, sure enough, the final form of maritime hegemony is colonial hegemony, and he was still thinking that it would take twenty to thirty years after the empire opened the inland sea to have such a request, but I didn't expect that it would only be a few years, and such hegemony was already on paper, (to be continued) I580
