King Trutz looked at the letter in his hand. His face was slightly sullen at first, but when he saw it later, a smile slowly appeared.
After reading the entire letter, he folded it up and his expression returned to its normal calmness, with strong confidence in his eyes.
"Did President Xu say anything else to you?" King Trutz asked Newman who was standing in front of him.
Newman immediately bowed and responded: "Before leaving the Principality of Standing, President Xu came to me in private and asked me to bring a message to His Majesty."
"explain."
"President Xu said that although the Luersun Kingdom seems to be in crisis this time, it is actually a good opportunity. Similarly, this is also an opportunity for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce."
"that's it?"
"Well, that's all."
King Trutz fell silent. After thinking for a while, he looked at the letter in his hand. After pondering for a while, he seemed to have thought of something and smiled slightly.
"Very good. It seems that President Xu's ambition is much greater than I thought. That's good."
Newman raised his head and glanced at King Trutz in surprise, thinking that perhaps it was because Xu Yi and His Majesty the King were both very ambitious people that they had reached such a consensus on this matter.
After the conflict with the Candela Empire broke out, the entire Luersun Kingdom almost fell into panic. Everyone was panic-stricken, fearing that the Candela Empire would launch the most severe crackdown on the Luersun Kingdom because of this incident. Revenge, or even directly destroy the entire Luersun Kingdom.
In this case, what King Trutz did for the first time was not thinking about how to reverse the impact of this incident. Seeking forgiveness from the Candela Empire. Instead, they actively launched a series of mobilization actions in the Luersun Kingdom. It seems that they are ready to officially start a war with the Candela Empire.
Because of these actions of King Trutz, many noble lords in the Luersun Kingdom became even more panicked. For a time, undercurrents surged in the kingdom. Countless noble ministers expressed their hope to King Trutz through various channels that they hoped to cooperate with the Candela Empire. Reaching a settlement without wishing to go to actual war with the Candela Empire.
However, King Trutz ignored this at all and continued to prepare for the war.
If placed in other small countries, I am afraid that the entire country will fall into complete chaos at this moment, but in the Kingdom of Luersun. The royal family represented by King Trutz has always had absolute control over the entire Luersun Kingdom, and other nobles cannot affect the general trend of the kingdom at all.
Now that King Trutz is determined, other nobles in the kingdom have nothing to do. Some nobles even secretly moved their families out of the Kingdom of Luersun, pretending to avoid disaster.
King Trutz was well aware of these things happening in the kingdom, but he seemed to have not seen them at all and did not care about them at all. Instead, he focused most of his attention on preparations for war, and the other half on the new affairs. Flying Chamber of Commerce.
When the border guards of the Luersun Kingdom first clashed with the border guards of the Candela Empire because of smugglers, King Trutz immediately proposed a series of preferential conditions to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. In order to obtain the support of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in military magic machinery.
Now that the real conflict between the two sides broke out, King Trutz immediately sent Newman, who was most familiar with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, to the Principality of Standing. On his behalf, he held contact talks with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
It should be said that the results of this meeting with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were very unsatisfactory.
Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce still entertained Newman's arrival as usual, Newman could clearly feel that this time the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the senior officials he contacted seemed a bit perfunctory. Whenever he talked about the specific parties, When it comes to cooperation matters, whether it is CEO Kennard or other senior executives of the chamber of commerce, they often talk about other things, change the subject, and refuse to talk in depth.
And when Newman wanted to discuss the matter of continuing to purchase large quantities of military magic machinery, the attitude shown by Kennard and other senior officials of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce could be described as indifferent.
After staying in the Principality of Standing for a full week, Newman completely understood the attitude of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
It is obvious that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has scruples about the possibility of the Luersun Kingdom going to war with the Candela Empire this time, and is unwilling to get involved. It is even less willing to offend the Candela Empire by supporting the Lursun Kingdom.
This result was not too unexpected for Newman. Before he came to the Principality of Standing, this result had been deduced from the internal discussions in the Kingdom of Luersun.
In the final analysis, compared to the behemoth of the Candela Empire, the Luersun Kingdom is too insignificant.
Even if Newman was placed in the current position of the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce, he would have the same attitude as the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce is currently experiencing.
However, just when Newman was about to leave the Principality of Standing in disappointment, Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce who had never been able to find a way out, suddenly appeared in front of Newman.
Xu Yi didn't say much to Newman in private. He just gave him a letter to send to King Trutz and asked him to bring a message to King Trutz.
However, just because of this letter and one sentence, King Trutz, who had been gloomy because of the attitude of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, immediately regained his strong self-confidence.
This made Newman very strange.
His Majesty's attitude suddenly changed. It was obvious that Xu Yi expressed his support for the Luersun Kingdom in the letter.
But since Xu Yi supports the Luersun Kingdom, why did the senior officials of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce show a repulsive attitude when they met Xu Yi
Could it be that they, the senior officials of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and Xu Yi, the president, don't have the same idea
But if this is the case, doesn't it mean that Xu Yi has serious problems with his control of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so that the senior officials of the Chamber of Commerce openly opposed Xu Yi
But this makes the problem even more serious, because even if Xu Yi made any promises to His Majesty the King in the letter, I am afraid that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce may not actually fulfill them.
So what's the point of Xu Yi asking him to bring back this letter and this sentence
However, King Trutz seemed to have not thought about these problems at all. After reading the letter and knowing what Xu Yi said, Just become energetic. Also full of confidence. This is amazing.
The only explanation is that the letter Xu Yi asked Newman to bring back said something that Newman didn't understand, which restored His Majesty's confidence in the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
"Newman." King Trutz suddenly shouted softly, interrupting Newman's contemplation.
"Ah? Ah, Your Majesty, do you have any orders?"
"In a few days, there may be a delegation from the Chamber of Commerce of the Lampali Kingdom. You will be responsible for receiving it. You must entertain them well. Do you understand?"
Newman was startled again.
Why are we suddenly talking about the Lampali Kingdom's Chamber of Commerce delegation
And why have I never heard of this before
When his eyes fell on the letter in King Trutz's hand, Newman's heart moved.
Is this what the letter Xu Yi gave said
But what does this have to do with the support from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce that His Majesty the King needs

The bright sunshine in autumn shines on the endless sea. Although it does not seem to steam the entire sea surface like it does in midsummer, it can still make the entire sea surface shine with a dazzling light that makes it almost impossible to look directly at it.
Russell stood on the front deck of a frigate in the middle of the fleet, squinting his eyes slightly and looking at the far end of the horizon. Through the report of the captain of the frigate next to him, he determined that if calculated according to the position on parallel land, he had already crossed the sea line at this time. Crossed the border between the Candela Empire and the Luersun Kingdom, and officially entered the waters of the Luersun Kingdom.
In fact, the so-called sea area is a concept. It had never existed in Russell's mind before.
What kind of sea area is not a sea area, a place that the Imperial Navy can reach. That is the territory of the empire!
However, since the emergence of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort fleet, this concept has gradually begun to spread through the continuous ocean voyages of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort fleet and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce transport fleet.
According to the sea area concept proposed by the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce escort fleet, extending twenty kilometers from the coastline covered by each country's territory to the sea is the official sea area of each country, which is equivalent to the territory.
Entering other countries’ waters is tantamount to invading territory.
So if calculated according to this concept, in fact, the Third Fleet of the Candela Empire Navy currently led by Russell has already invaded the exclusive waters of the Kingdom of Luersun, which is equivalent to invading the territory of the Kingdom of Luersun.
But... so what
This time Russell led the Imperial Navy's only three frigates and as many as fifty Thunder-class warships in the Third Fleet. The original purpose was to invade the Kingdom of Luersun.
According to the strategy formulated by the Imperial Ministry, the fleet led by Russell will land in the south of the Luersun Kingdom, launch an attack all the way north, and finally meet with the imperial land army in Kuraka City, the capital of the Luersun Kingdom, and then attack in one fell swoop Sweep the daring little country of Luersun into the dust of history.
No one in the empire would have any doubts about this plan, because in everyone's eyes, the small country of Luersun Kingdom had no ability to compete with the empire. The only choice they could make to minimize their losses was not to do it. Any resistance, surrender obediently, and become a vassal of the empire from then on.
However, since the conflict between the two countries, this damn small country has not shown any signs of surrender, and even their king has been actively preparing for war.
This greatly stimulated the pride of the generals in the Imperial Army.
This humble little country actually dares to resist!
It just so happened that the empire's army had not experienced a real battle for almost twenty years, so this time the military simply regarded this as an opportunity to train troops. Not only did they send out as many as five legions at once, more than 50,000 elite troops were dispatched. , and also dispatched the Imperial Navy to provide support.
Of course, what he did was to use a thunderous force to eliminate this arrogant little country in one fell swoop and once again confirm the supreme majesty of the empire on this continent!
However, when Russell's eyes fell into the distance, there was always a trace of uneasiness in his heart.
Can the military's plan really be accomplished so smoothly this time
At this moment, he saw a dozen high-speed steel ships suddenly appearing on the sea level in the distance. (To be continued...)
