Has things come this far? Lorraine Hill thought.
During the few months she came to Hopelander, except for the first few weeks, she needed to be familiar with the situation of the chamber of commerce. In the later time, she also took a general tour of the city, except for a few large chambers of commerce. , other small chambers of commerce and organizations also have a certain understanding.
Hopelander, as an important seaport of the Verga Business Alliance, is also the top three commercial center in the country, second only to the capital of the alliance, Jubere.
Yubere is the big port of the alliance near the east, where it is the trade node between the alliance and Ruerna, and there is a chartered route to the green empire. It is an important commercial center where the east and west sides of the mainland meet.
Hopelander is located on the west side of the alliance, where most of the trade routes leading to Westerly, Falcon, and Sanctuary converge here. In addition, there are many air routes to and from the Southern Islands, so there are nearly a million people gathered in just one city. And there are five major chambers of commerce that will house their headquarters here.
If there is a chamber of commerce or an organization that monopolizes Hopelander, the central city on the west side of the alliance, and radiates its own influence, it can easily split the west of the alliance and cut off the land of the other five Xuehua countries to Yubere. Go the route and wreak havoc on the integrity of the league.
It is also to check and balance, not to let one family dominate. In the early days of the establishment of the business alliance, the Tisifone family was placed here to fight against the old Nissos family and the Helis family. Later, after the rise of the Anemii family, they also Place headquarters here for additional support from Yubere.
However, as the Tisifone family grew bigger and the tigers were in danger, the other families were reluctant to provoke this fiercely famous family. Later, the Alliance guild supported Carites, allowing him to gain a firm foothold in Hopeland. Invite Angus to the highest level of the guild and become one of the twenty-six high-ranking members.
This is also the reason why Tisifone always wanted to get rid of Karites. Karites, who has a large fleet, also has a large amount of force. Although the Tisifone family has many weapons and fighters, it has sea power. Carrites, who has always been in the business of shipbuilding, has always been incomparable.
Before, it was just assassination and assassination, but now they have started to act blatantly. Are they not afraid of the sanctions of the nine major chambers of commerce in the capital of the alliance
But the Tisifone family members were not stupid. Although Roland Hill didn't communicate much with Adeley at the banquet, he also knew that he was a very scheming person, and it was impossible for him to have no successors.
As for other countries, according to the covenant between the seven countries of Xuehua, they cannot interfere in each other's internal affairs, the threat of green is still hanging in everyone's mind, and there is not such a big conflict between the seven countries to fight each other, so there is only an alliance. Internal checks and balances.
But in any case, the union's general guild, which is Yubere's side, will never allow Hopeland to be integrated into one, no matter how good it is or how much it promises.
This is like a person grasping the lifeline of his own throat, which is absolutely impossible. But Hopelander's side is a relatively barren west after all, and its comprehensive strength will definitely not be able to beat the nine led by Yubelei.
Since they can't beat it, they are not afraid of Yubeilei's sanctions in the future. It only means that although they can't solve the problem, they can solve the problem of the person who raised the problem, that is, Yubeilei also had an accident. If you can't take care of yourself, you won't make another move.
After clarifying his thoughts, Roland Hill also began to understand why Meru emphasized so seriously in the letter. After losing the constraints of the Alliance, the Tisifone family was like a beast that was released. No one knew what they would do. What an outrageous move.
At that time, even if he wanted to surrender his property, he might not have a good ending. Thinking about the first sentence Adeley said at the banquet, it might be his true thoughts at that time.
Loren Hill put down the letter, tapped the handrail with his fingers lightly, and fell into contemplation, while the hall was silent, and the messenger of the Helis family kept his head down, waiting nervously.
The girl blinked and checked the task progress displayed on the system, which was stuck at 92%.
It's still a little bit, she felt a little regretful in her heart, it would be better if she gave her another half a month, then everything would be ready, but it's a pity...
Now I can only take one step at a time. It is really at a critical juncture, and any task is a cloud.
After making up her mind, she commanded.
"Chelsea, get the letter and write back to Meru, saying that we, Karites, will continue to fight alongside Helis as always."
"Yes, Miss."
Hearing this, the messenger breathed a sigh of relief.
"Blake."
Roland Hill called a name, and a captain of the guard in armor stood up.
"You organized the newly built Paint Night Guard to move the weapons out of the warehouse and distribute them to everyone."
"In addition, the recently trained Chamber of Commerce personnel will form the second echelon, the untrained personnel will form the third echelon, and the original Chamber of Commerce guards will be the first echelon."
"The number of the first, second and third echelons is formed according to 1:3:6. Let each team form first, and then get familiar with each other, old and new, teach some basic combat common sense on the spot, and prepare for battle."
"Your will, Miss."
This excellent new captain led the way. Under the guidance of Roland Hill, although he is now a Sequence 4, he has already touched the threshold of Sequence 5. It is a huge threshold that many people will never cross for life.
"Also, let the letter eagle fly, tell other local branches, organize the personnel in various places, prepare for battle, and be careful."
"If the battle in the city fails, we will go out to sea and gather the members of the branch to attack Hopelander again."
Roland Hill made the following arrangements, which made everyone in the hall feel at ease, no longer panic, and their hearts became firm.
What people fear most is not failure, but that there is no retreat and hope after failure.
"Start preparing now, launch signal fireworks, ring the big bell, and fortify the defense."
"Yes, Lady Lacey."
The people below agreed in unison, the entire Chamber of Commerce began to operate, the Karites Chamber of Commerce began to wake up like a sleeping giant lion, and tens of thousands of people began to revolve around a will.
Burning torches were lit one by one, and the teams holding torches went deep into the night like giant dragons. They began to control the nearby streets, block off areas, and set up checkpoints.
Over the city, the rising fireworks made an extremely sharp whistling sound, blooming in the night sky, forming the shape of a lacquered night flower. These conspicuous red fireworks convey a signal of danger and urgency.
Under the night sky, everyone in the city looked up, and a black-robed figure walked out of the basement and looked at the scattered red meteors.
"Has it finally begun, this troubled world?"
