(Suddenly I discovered that the "Cantona Empire" had appeared several times before... It was not easy to change the previous one. I will pay attention to it in the future. Please forgive me.)
————
Although Cantona has become the president of a large-scale chamber of commerce, after all, he is just an ordinary farmer outside Bonta City. His knowledge is limited and the information he can obtain is limited. Therefore, he cannot understand how the Roursun Kingdom defeated the Candela Empire and the What is the connection between the Marquis of Southgaard's sudden change of attitude towards him.
But the Marquis of Southgaard himself certainly knew it.
When President Cantona found Riley, the Marquis of Southgaard happened to be discussing the war between the Luersun Kingdom and the Candela Empire with two people.
"According to various intelligence reports, the key reason why the Candela Empire has suffered repeated defeats on the frontal battlefield is that the Luersun Kingdom is equipped with a large number of military magic machines, so the army's combat effectiveness is far superior. And this plays a key role. According to intelligence, the military magic machine comes from a previously unknown small chamber of commerce in the Principality of Standing.”
The person who said this was a middle-aged man with a square face, a serious expression, and a very majestic look.
After saying this, he paused and gave the Marquis of Southgaard a meaningful look.
"Marquis of Southgaard, although this small chamber of commerce is not well-known in our Malo Empire, I think you should know it very well."
"Duke Roosevelt, you must be talking about the New Flying Chamber of Commerce." Marquis Southgaard smiled slightly, and suddenly brought the topic to himself when he saw Duke Roosevelt, who had great power in the Malo Emperor's Ministry. Not too surprising. "Yes, I do know about the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but if I say I know it very well... I can only say that I know it better than others in the empire. But I don't know it in detail."
Duke Roosevelt frowned: "But I heard that you went to the Principality of Standing twice for inspection. Then you introduced this new flying merchant guild into your private territory. Now it seems that you are still working with this new flying merchant and the Will some small businessmen from other countries cooperate to open factories on your private property? "
"There is such a thing." Marquis Southgaard nodded.
"So... Marquis of Southgaard. How much do you know about the military magic machinery of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce?" Duke Roosevelt asked.
"Would you believe me if I said that I didn't know anything about military magic machinery?" Marquis Southgaard spread out his hands, shook his head, and sighed: "I was initially interested in the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, just because I had no intention of doing so. I came into contact with various household magic machines produced by their chamber of commerce. Later, I found cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and introduced them to my private domain. It only involved household magic machines and had no connection with military magic machines. "
"Really?" Duke Roosevelt narrowed his eyes.
Marquis Southgaard turned to look at a middle-aged man with a kind face on the other side.
"Regarding matters related to the introduction of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and other merchants, I have reported to the Imperial Commerce Department and the Noble Territory Management Office under the Noble Council. Count Templeton should know."
The middle-aged man with a kind face smiled and nodded: "Yes, the Marquis of Southgaard has submitted a complete registration application to the Ministry of Commerce, so the Ministry of Commerce is very clear about these matters. Including the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, now in Southgaard The chambers of commerce that are expected to invest and operate in the private territory of Marquis De are all legitimate chambers of commerce from the Kingdom of Lampali and the Principality of Standing, so there is no problem.”
Duke Roosevelt glanced at Earl Templer, frowned slightly, and felt a little dissatisfied.
He was not interested in what business those chambers of commerce were doing on the private property of the Marquis of Southgaard. He was only interested in what the cooperation between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Marquis of Southgaard involved.
Or to be more precise. Is there any cooperation involving military magic machinery
After the Candela Empire's two invasions of the Luersun Kingdom suffered disastrous defeats, the role played by military magic machines in the Luersun Kingdom's resistance to the Candela Empire's invasions immediately attracted the attention of all countries on the continent.
As the only enemy of the Candela Empire on this continent. The Malo Empire is naturally more concerned about this.
He approached the Marquis of Southgaard on behalf of the military this time, hoping to get more information about military magic machinery from the Marquis of Southgaard.
However, the attitude shown by the Marquis of Southgaard was somewhat uncooperative, which made him somewhat dissatisfied.
After pondering for a moment, he composed himself, made the expression on his face more serious, and stared directly at the Marquis of Southgaard.
"Marquis Southgaard, military magic machinery is of great significance, and the Imperial Ministry attaches great importance to it. So I hope you can cooperate with the military and provide as accurate information as possible."
Marquis Southgaard glanced at Earl Temple next to him and saw him nodding slightly. He understood in his heart. After a deliberate pause, he nodded and said: "Well, as a citizen of the empire, you should contribute your own strength to the empire. "But I really don't know much about military magic machinery, so I can't provide much specific information."
Hearing this, Duke Roosevelt's face darkened.
However, the Marquis of Southgaard changed the subject.
"But I can act as an intermediary to contact the Military Department and the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce. What do you think?"
Duke Roosevelt immediately calmed down and said with a smile: "If that's the case, of course it would be better. Well... the military attaches great importance to this matter, so I hope you can get in touch with the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible."
"no problem."
Seeing that the Marquis of Southgaard agreed, Duke Roosevelt immediately said goodbye to the Marquis of Southgaard and left.
After leaving the Marquis of Southgaard and Earl Temple, the Marquis of Southgaard was silent for a while, frowned and asked Earl Temple: "This time, your Ministry of Commerce is very cooperative."
Earl Templeton looked up to the sky and laughed: "This is His Majesty the Emperor's personal instruction, but no one dares not to take it seriously."
Marquis Southgaard was shocked: "Even His Majesty the Emperor was alarmed?"
"That's right." Earl Templer glanced at Marquis Southgaard, and his expression became serious. "Lord Marquis, you should know very well. As far as the empire is concerned, only the Candela Empire on this continent can be called our enemy. But such an enemy that we must admit is powerful. But just because the military magic machinery is here The small country of Luersun suffered a disastrous defeat. Do you think... His Majesty the Emperor will not pay attention to this? "
Marquis Southgaard was silent for a moment and couldn't help but nodded.
"Yeah, that's right. It's really unbelievable to say that the Third Army of the Candela Empire can already be regarded as the elite of the Candela Empire, but it has no power to fight back in front of the army of the Kingdom of Luersun. This is too unbelievable. "
Speaking of this, the expression on the face of the Marquis of Southgaard became strange.
"Speaking of which... I just took a fancy to the useful household magic machines produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and then I thought about pulling them over. But I didn't expect that I actually caught a big fish this time... "
Earl Templer smiled and laid out the formalities: "The military magic machinery is a headache for the military. In comparison, I am more concerned about the household magic machinery you mentioned. Mr. Marquis, you are the person who knows these things best. , do you think these things have a future in the empire?”
"Of course!" Marquis Southgaard immediately looked solemn. "I can be 100% certain that the convenience brought by these household magic machines will be welcomed by everyone in the empire. I can even assert that within a few years, these household magic machines will be popular everywhere in the empire. Magical machine!"
"Is that so?" Earl Templer rubbed his chin and thought for a while. He approached the Marquis of Southgaard and said seriously: "Well, Lord Marquis, on behalf of the Ministry of Commerce, I am now making a formal request to you. I hope that you can serve as an intermediary to help me contact the New Flying Chamber of Commerce."
"no problem."
Compared to when he faced Duke Roosevelt just now, Marquis Southgaard agreed without hesitation this time.

Xu Yi glanced at the tall pile of invitations that Twisti had piled in front of him, and pointed to the trash can in the distance.
"Throw it all away."
"All?" Twisty asked in surprise.
"Well, all of them." Xu Yi nodded and then added. "If you ever see something like this again, don't show it to me, just throw it away."
"oh."
Twisty responded, picked up the pile of invitations again, and threw them all into the trash can.
Seeing her actions, Xu Yi smiled with satisfaction.
This is the advantage of Twisti as an elf girl. Compared with human subordinates, she is actually much more obedient and will never ask nonsense questions.
If it were Kennard, he would definitely let Xu Yi explain why he did this.
In fact, the reason for doing this is very simple. It's just that Xu Yi is too lazy to go.
During this period, the invitations flying to the top executives of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were like snowflakes. As the president, the invitations Xu Yi received were even more exaggerated.
Although these invitations were sent by many important people, and there may even be many important people who came to the Candela Empire and the Malo Empire, Xu Yi didn't want to pay attention to them.
This situation was what he had expected a long time ago. Since the Luersun Kingdom had performed so well in resisting the two previous invasions of the Candela Empire, the military magic machinery that shined in it would naturally attract the attention of countless people.
Naturally, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce that produces these military magic machines will also become the focus of everyone's attention.
It can be said that the current Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has perfectly made its name in the entire continent through the war between the Luersun Kingdom and the Candela Empire, making the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce truly become a famous chamber of commerce in the entire continent, and successfully completed Xu Yi's previous predetermined goal.
But Xu Yike did not let this go to his head.
It is good to build the reputation of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce on this continent, but Xu Yi's purpose is not to promote military magic machinery, but to let everyone know about Xinfei Chamber of Commerce through military magic machinery, and then understand the main purpose of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Magic machinery produced for civilian use.
The problem currently troubling Xu Yi is how to shift the attention of these people from military magic machinery to civilian magic machinery. (To be continued...)
