It wasn't until he returned to Kennard's CEO office that Kennard, who had been silent all this time, said, "Mr. President, if you adopt this attitude, aren't you worried that you will really anger the Duke of Windsor?"
Xu Yi glanced at him and thought that he had actually explained this problem to Kennard several times, but he still hadn't figured it out yet.
It seems that people in this world have a deep-rooted fear of a huge country like the Candela Empire. Even someone like Kennard, who comes from a noble family in the Lampali Kingdom, has a hard time changing it.
But this is no wonder for them. After all, the Candela Empire can be regarded as the largest and oldest empire on the Sainz continent. It is even better than the Malo Empire in people's minds.
It is normal for people in other small countries on the continent to be afraid of the Candela Empire.
But Xu Yi is different. He is from the earth and does not have a deep impression of the countries on the Sainz continent. In addition, he originally comes from the Celestial Dynasty, a country that has always existed as a great power on the earth. But There has never been the natural fear that people from small countries have when facing big countries.
The Candela Empire may be a terrifying behemoth to Kennard, but in Xu Yi's opinion, it is too big to be scary at all.
Xu Yi couldn't help but laugh every time he thought that Sharon's three thousand men were easily defeated by Baron Prado's three hundred men in an encounter.
Baron Prado's men were only equipped with some magic repeating crossbows and individual magic rocket launchers, and they were able to defeat 3,000 enemies with a force of 300. This shows how terrifyingly equipping military magic machinery can improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.
Moreover, Baron Prado's men are simply a bunch of rabble. There is no war literacy at all. The use of military magic machinery only stays at the level of being able to use it. Even the corresponding tactics have not been developed.
Compared to the new Flying Chamber of Commerce Guards, which is equipped with a large number of high-end military magic machines and whose daily training revolves around various military magic machines, the combat effectiveness of Baron Prado's men is definitely several times worse.
Even they could defeat the Duke of Windsor's men so easily. If they were replaced by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Guards, they would be crushed even more easily.
It should be said that since experiencing the civil war in the Kingdom of Lampali and the battles in the Principality of Standing with Grand Duke Weilun and other nobles, Xu Yi has a relatively in-depth understanding of the combat effectiveness of the traditional armies in the world.
In his opinion, the emergence of military magic machines has completely subverted the world's war model. An army that still adheres to the previous model has no chance of competing against opponents equipped with military magic machines.
Several surrounding countries have already felt this, so they have been eager to request from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to purchase various military magic machines, hoping to enhance the combat effectiveness of their own national armies.
At the same time, this is also the reason why several surrounding countries are so wary of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
In addition to not wanting to offend the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which would result in the inability to obtain various military magic machines, they were also wary of the combat effectiveness of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's escorts.
The Candela Empire knows too little about the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, so they still assume a condescending attitude and don't take the New Flying Chamber of Commerce seriously.
However, in Xu Yi's view, although the Candela Empire is one of the two major empires on this continent, it is actually nothing more than a paper tiger.
Kennard is still so afraid of the Candela Empire until now. In addition to the deep-rooted concepts that exist in his heart, it is also because he has always dealt with the internal management matters of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. There is little involvement in the military magic machinery department and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Guards, so I don’t know much about the strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Guards.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi felt that he had made some mistakes before.
No matter how much Kennard is the CEO of the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce, it does not seem appropriate to completely isolate him from the military department of the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Yi no longer explained so much to Kennard, but gave him a hand. The two left the office again, got into Xu Yi's private magic car, and headed northwest to the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Drive away quickly.
The main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was originally located in the northwest corner of the entire Principality of Standing, with the sea to the west and the junction between the Black Rice Wasteland and the Principality of Standing to the north.
In the northwest corner of this vast land, another site was opened two years ago, specifically used as a testing ground for the new military magic machinery of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and a training base for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's escort team.
Kennard couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that Xu Yi had brought him here.
Because Xu Yi had never taken the initiative to let him come into contact with the specific affairs of the Military Magic Machinery Department of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce before, he consciously did not touch these aspects.
Now Xu Yi suddenly brought him here. Why
However, Xu Yi did not give him time to ask questions. He drove the magic car directly into the base, then drove to a wide field in the north of the base, and then stopped.
As soon as Kennard got out of the car, he heard a loud noise in the sky ahead.
When he looked up, he saw five magic airships floating in the sky.
The front of the magic airship is constantly releasing beams of light, criss-crossing the air.
And in the gap between these beams, a shadow was running back and forth at extremely high speeds without being touched by these beams.
"What are you doing?" Kennard asked in shock.
"This is the escort team conducting actual combat exercises with the great magician Rena." Xu Yi looked up and replied with a smile. "It seems that these guys in the escort team have made progress again. They were able to suppress the great magician Rena like this with only five magic airships. Not bad, not bad..."
"Great Magician Rena?" Kennard was even more stunned.
Looking at the sky attentively, I found that the shadow running back and forth in the sky was really a human figure.
According to what Xu Yi said just now, is that the great magician Ruina
But Great Magician Rena is an extremely powerful magician!
In Kennard's view, almost everyone who can become a great magician is an extremely powerful person who can overturn mountains and seas, just like those in myths and legends, and is simply not something ordinary people can compete with.
However, the Chamber of Commerce escorts in front of them relied on five magic airships to force this great magician to flee. This really overturned Kennard's common sense.
After watching intently for a while, the five magic airships in the sky stopped attacking, and the figure running back and forth also stopped in mid-air.
Kennard took a closer look and saw that it was the great magician Rena.
"Kennard, do you know why I brought you to see this?" Xu Yi beside him suddenly asked.
"This..." Kennard pondered for a long time, then looked up at the magic airship and the great magician Rena in the sky, and said with a slight hesitation: "I think... Judging from your attitude towards Baron Sharon just now, Mr. President, You probably want to tell me that our Chamber of Commerce has the ability to compete with the Duke of Windsor, so we can be tougher?"
"Well, Kennard, you are indeed a sensible person." Xu Yi smiled and nodded. "In the previous meeting, you suggested that I should give up part of my interests to the Candela Empire so that we can more easily find agents from the Candela Empire and achieve our goal of entering the Candela Empire market, but I refused. do you remember?"
"Remember." Kennard nodded, recalling the situation at that time, and responded: "President, you told me at the time that although our Chamber of Commerce definitely needs to enter the market of the Candela Empire, it must maintain a complete posture and not You should leave your destiny in other people’s hands.”
"Yes. I also said at that time that if you want to control your own destiny, you must have enough strength. What I am showing you now is the real strength of our Chamber of Commerce. Do you see anything from it? ?" Xu Yixiao asked.
Kennard raised his head and silently looked at the five magic airships and the great magician Rena that were moving in the sky. He pondered for a long time, then breathed out softly, nodded and said: "I probably understand, Mr. President. Meaning. But Sir, the Candela Empire is one of the two great empires after all. Its foundation is far beyond your imagination, and it will also far exceed the limit that our Chamber of Commerce can afford. We may be able to compete with the Duke of Windsor. But there is absolutely no way to compete with the entire Candela Empire. And... if we completely anger the Duke of Windsor, what good will it do to us?"
"Of course there are benefits, and they will be far-reaching. As for the immediate benefit, it is to show our attitude to everyone. I just want to use this incident to tell others that the Principality of Standing is the territory of our New Flying Chamber of Commerce. , any attempt to get involved in the Principality of Standing is going against our New Flying Chamber of Commerce." Xu Yidao.
Kennard smiled bitterly: "Even if the target is the Candela Empire?"
"Why should the Candela Empire make an exception?" Xu Yi pretended to be surprised.
Kennard was stunned, then smiled bitterly again.
"President, are you... a little too confident?"
Xu Yi laughed and patted Kennard's shoulder hard, not wanting to explain.
The reason why Kennard was brought here today to watch the training of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Guards was just to let him understand his true thoughts, and there was no real intention to change his ideas.
For example, Xu Yi knew that the deep-rooted concept of "the Candela Empire is powerful" could not be shaken in a short while.
If you want to change, you can only wait until you use more facts to wash it out again and again.
And the key lies right in front of you. (To be continued...)
