Under the leadership of their subordinates, Xu Yi and Eto'o came to a reception center set up by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the center of the main base.
As soon as he entered the door, Xu Yi immediately felt that the atmosphere in the air seemed to have become stagnant in an instant. The lobby of the reception center of Nuo University was so quiet that it was incredibly quiet. Even the footsteps of the two waitresses who deliberately made it very light could be heard. Hear it clearly.
Except for the two waiters who were still walking around, almost no one in the hall made any big movements. No matter what they were doing, they looked cautious, as if they were afraid of breaking the dead silence.
Everyone's eyes are intentionally or unintentionally falling on the two groups of people sitting opposite each other in the hall, but the eyes of these two groups of people are fixed on the opposite people. Even if they don't need to feel more, they can easily smell it. There was a strong smell of gunpowder mixed in it.
Eto'o frowned and glanced at the two groups of people. His eyes fell on the group of people on the left who were the delegation of the Maro Emperor's Headquarters that he led this time. He walked over, asked a few questions in a low voice, and then turned to look. The group of people on the opposite side looked strange.
After the group of people on the right saw Eto'o's actions, they discovered the arrival of Xu Yi and others. A person sitting in the middle raised his hand to say hello to Xu Yi.
"President Xu, you are back."
Xu Yi smiled and nodded to him: "Master Russell, didn't you say you would arrive the day after tomorrow? Why did you come today?"
Russell, the deputy chief of staff of the Candela Empire Naval Staff, glanced at the people in Maro Di's army who were sitting opposite, and snorted coldly: "If I hadn't come two days in advance, how could I have discovered these surprising people? Where are the guests?”
There was sarcasm in his tone, as well as in his expression. It can also be seen that he must be quite dissatisfied now. Even angry.
However, Xu Yi seemed not to understand the meaning of his words at all. Continuing to smile, he took two steps forward and came to the middle of the two groups of people. He first stretched out his left hand to signal to the people on the left side of Malodi's army and said: "Come on, let me introduce you. These people are from A guest of the Malo Empire.”
Russell snorted softly again: "President Xu, you don't need to introduce them. They are all people from Maro Emperor's side. How could I not know."
"Oh?" Xu Yi turned to look at Eto'o. "Then should you also know these guests?"
Eto'o frowned and looked at Xu Yi with some confusion, but still nodded and said: "Of course, these people did not deliberately conceal their identities. If we still can't recognize them, it would be unreasonable." Yes. Are you right? Dear Mr. Russell, the Jungle Fox of the Candela Empire?"
"Jungle fox?" Xu Yi looked at Russell in surprise. "Lord Russell, I didn't expect you to have this nickname."
Russell waved his hand: "That's just a nickname imposed on me by others, it's nothing."
"Lord Russell, is it wrong to be so humble?" Eto'o raised his voice. "When you were still serving the Kandra Empire Army, our Malo Empire suffered many losses at your hands. Giving you such a nickname is a sign of respect for you. If you think this is nothing, If so, wouldn’t our Maro Empire’s military be too embarrassed? “
"What do you, Emperor Maro, think? What does it have to do with me?" Russell said expressionlessly. "Besides, I have been transferred to the Imperial Navy now. The nickname Jungle Fox has nothing to do with me."
"That's really a pity." Eto'o shook his head. "The Candela Emperor left a powerful master of jungle warfare like you unused and transferred him to the navy. It is simply stupid."
Russell was silent and didn't even say a word to refute.
Judging from this reaction, I am afraid that he also agrees with what Eto'o said in his heart, but given his status, it is obviously impossible for him to agree with him.
"Okay, Master Russell, no matter what you did before, now that you are here, if my guess is correct, you should also be here for the military magic machinery of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, right?" Eto'o asked again.
"This has nothing to do with you." Russell responded calmly.
"No, of course this has something to do with me. In other words, it has something to do with our entire Maro Empire." At this point, Eto'o turned to look at Xu Yi, with a hint of questioning in his eyes. "President Xu, Mr. Russell refuses to tell, are you willing to tell me?"
Xu Yi shrugged: "Sorry, protecting the privacy of our customers is our necessary responsibility. I cannot disclose it to others without the customer's consent."
Eto'o nodded slightly: "Okay, I understand."
After saying that, he turned his head and took a deep look at Russell, then turned around and greeted everyone on Maro Di's side, said goodbye to Xu Yi and left next step.
After they left the reception center, Russell stared at Xu Yi and asked in a deep voice: "President Xu, can you tell me what is going on?"
Xu Yi smiled and replied: "As you can see, that's what it is."
Russell's eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous light flashed in his eyes, but he did not continue to ask.

Two days later, Eto'o left the Principality of Standing with a delegation from the Maro Empire and returned to the Maro Empire.
In his last conversation with Xu Yi, he revealed to Xu Yi that if nothing unexpected happens, Maro Di's government will place a large order with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for all the military magic machinery currently sold by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. At the same time, he also hopes that We can establish a long-term cooperative relationship with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to ensure the supply of military magic machinery.
At the same time, he also vaguely expressed some dissatisfaction to Xu Yi, that is, while the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was cooperating with the Maro Empire, it also continued to cooperate with the Candela Empire.
He warned Xu Yi that this approach of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will most likely cause Malodi's government to distrust the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and may affect the confidence of Malodi's government and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in in-depth cooperation.
Four days after seeing off the Maro Emperor's delegation, Xu Yi saw off the Candela Empire Navy delegation led by Russell.
The purpose of Russell's bringing people here this time is very simple. He simply hopes to purchase ten more frigates and various supporting military magic machines from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
At the same time, the Candela Empire Navy also hopes that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can provide them with further relevant technical information about the frigates to facilitate their subsequent maintenance of the frigates. and launch more training programs.
But after seeing everyone in Maro Emperor's army with my own eyes. Russell made a special trip to find Xu Yi. Had a private meeting with him.
During this meeting, Russell solemnly stated to Xu Yi that since the Malo Empire and the Candela Empire were hostile, he and the Candela Empire did not want to see the New Flying Chamber of Commerce choose to cooperate with the Malo Empire.
If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce insists on doing this, it may cause the Candela Emperor to lose trust in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and affect the cooperative relationship between the two parties.
Basically, what Russell said and what Eto'o said have similar meanings. Anyway, they just don't want Xinfei to be in two different situations. At the same time, we maintained cooperation with the two empires.
Russell's warning was more specific. He said that if the New Flying Chamber of Commerce continues to cooperate with the Maro Empire, it will not only affect the cooperation between the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Empire in the field of military magic machinery, but will also most likely affect both parties. Cooperation in the field of civilian magical machinery.
Specifically, the Candela Empire will most likely determine that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is hostile based on this point, and thus refuse all products of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to enter the territory of the Candela Empire.
"I believe you, President Xu, know very well that losing such a huge market as our Candela Empire will be a serious loss to your New Flying Chamber of Commerce. So... President Xu, please consider it carefully and don't make the wrong choice."
Russell's warning to Xu Yi, which could even be said to be a threat, was obviously not a joke. However, it fell into Xu Yi's ears...
"Why do these guys like to talk nonsense so much?"
Xu Yi took out his ears. There was an expression of complete disdain on his face.
Although these two empires are relatively quick to respond and understand the importance of military magic machinery, they have not yet clearly understood the situation. They have also placed themselves in a superior position and pretended that they are looking for a new flying chamber of commerce. Cooperation is a gesture of giving opportunities to Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
In reality
"What's the old saying? The wheel of history is already rolling, and anyone who stands in its way will only be crushed by it."
Xu Yi smiled lightly and threw all the warnings and threats from Eto'o and Russell behind.
The current situation makes it clear that the two empires are actively seeking cooperation from the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce, but it is not the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce that is begging them to cooperate. It is really meaningless for them to maintain such a high profile.
Even if the military of the two empires are dissatisfied and even wary of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, can they not do this kind of thing if they don't want to
In particular, the Candela Empire suffered heavy losses in two consecutive wars with the Kingdom of Luersun, and they felt even more deeply about the threat posed by military magic machines.
If it wasn't for the sake of face, I'm afraid they would have pounced directly like the Malo Empire in the hope of purchasing military magic machinery. There is no need to beat around the bush like now.
As for the Maro Empire, there is no need to worry. Although they do not have the same pain as the Candela Empire, since the Candela Empire has revealed its interest in the military magic machinery produced by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, the Maro Empire must follow suit and will not allow itself to be here. It lags behind the Candela Empire.
To put it simply, Xu Yi regarded both empires as pawns in his hands and used the hostile relationship between them to increase his own worth.
As Magister Camilla and Xu Yi themselves realized, this approach was like playing with fire and very dangerous.
But Xu Yi is very confident in the result, because as far as the current situation is concerned, it is impossible for these two empires to pose any threat to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
Putting aside the military magic machinery, Xu Yi attaches the most importance to it, and it is also the civilian magic machinery that Russell mentioned, so there is no need to worry.
If military magical machines may still have problems due to the concerns of the two imperial parties, then the trend in civilian magical machines has already become a rolling torrent, and no one can stop it if they are unwilling. Live.
Xu Yi picked up a financial report for last month in his hand, looked at the rows of data on it, squinted his eyes slightly, and laughed like a smiling fox who had succeeded in his evil scheme. (To be continued...)
