Magic Industry Empire - 1042. Chapter 1042

Of course, Xu Yi’s promised support for the Ruelson Kingdom could not only be verbal.

One week after the meeting with the Duke of Borus, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and the Ruelson Kingdom issued a joint statement that the Ruelson Kingdom officially sold two iron mines and four magic crystal mines in the northeast of the kingdom to the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

At first glance, this statement seems to be nothing special, because with the financial resources of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, purchasing a few mines is not a problem at all.

In addition, the New Flying Merchants Association has been frantically collecting mineral resources everywhere on Sainz. According to incomplete statistics, the iron ore that the New Flying Merchants Association secretly and secretly controls has even exceeded more than 300, which can even be regarded as Sion. The chamber of commerce in Sri Lanka has the most iron ore and other mineral resources.

However, the subsequent statement issued by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce revealed the real mystery of this statement.

In this statement, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce stated that in order to ensure that these mines can be better developed, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will send a new flying chamber of commerce guard team to these six mines to cooperate with the local security of the Ruelson Kingdom. Power and the army guarantee the safety of these mines.

In order to provide protection for this escort detachment, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will also establish a base in the center of these six mines.

Just looking at this news may not be considered special.

However, if you take a closer look at the map, you will find that the base to be built by the New Flying Merchants Association is located less than 50 kilometers from the border between the Ruelson Kingdom and the Norton Principality.

And because the Principality of Norton has now been incorporated into the Candela Empire, in fact, once the base of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is completed, it will be less than 50 kilometers away from the border with the Candela Empire.

Anyone who has a little knowledge of the situation on the mainland can easily see that once the base of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is completed, it is equivalent to nailing a nail in front of the Candela Empire.

Although the current border between the Candela Empire and the Ruelson Kingdom is not very short, the only one that can easily enter the Ruelson Kingdom from the Candela Empire is the border between the east and north of the Ruelson Kingdom.

Now the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has set up a base on the border here to the north, and stationed a new Flying Chamber of Commerce guards. At the same time, it also announced that it will treat anyone who enters the guarded area of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce without consent. Being hostile is tantamount to setting up a restricted area here.

If the Candela Empire attempts to invade the Ruelson Kingdom through this place, it will inevitably step into the guard range drawn by the new Flying Merchant Guild guard.

No one can tell that the New Flying Merchants Association did this, obviously to warn the Candela Empire.

“It’s just a small chamber of commerce, dare to be so arrogant!”

His Majesty Emperor Candela looked at the report in his hand with a sullen face, his eyes shot extremely cold, and his mouth sprayed an angry muffled grunt.

“Does Xu Yi really think that with his own military magic machinery, he can do whatever he wants?”

The Supreme Commander of the Candela Empire Army, Imperial Marshal Campbell Sudirman, sighed slightly.

“It’s a pity, Your Majesty, this is a fact. The power of the military magic machinery owned by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce can’t even be resisted by even the Magister, and the ordinary army is even more unlikely to have any resistance. So purely from a military perspective. In comparison, not only our Candela Empire, but even the entire Sainz continent, no one can take the New Flying Merchant Guild Guards.”

“But after all, it is just a chamber of commerce, isn’t it?” His Majesty the Emperor Candela asked rhetorically. “Couldn’t we use the absolute advantage in numbers and the supply advantage of a chamber of commerce far more than others to slowly wear it away?”

“It’s impossible.” Marshal Sudirman shook his head. “Your Majesty, the Imperial Military Department has done detailed calculations on this, and finally concluded that the possibility of wanting to achieve this is almost zero.”

“why?”

“First of all, as I mentioned earlier, in front of the extremely powerful military magic machines of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce that are beyond ordinary people’s imagination, the ordinary army is completely meaningless. The only thing that can compete is the military magic machines of the same level. Our empire No matter how many soldiers there are, as long as the guards of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce still have supplies, they can only go up to death without any sense.”

“Do you mean that the imperial army can’t cause even a little damage to the guards of the New Flying Merchant Association?”

Hearing this question, Marshal Sudirman was silent for a while, and then he sighed deeply, his expression extremely depressed.

“Your Majesty, I don’t want to admit it, but this is a fact.”

At this time, His Majesty Emperor Candela also fell silent.

It took several minutes before he spoke again.

“You just said first, so is there any other reason?”

“Yes.” Marshal Sudirman nodded and continued. “Your Majesty, you just said that you want to rely on our superiority in numbers and logistical supplies to grind away the vitality of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to defeat them bit by bit. And what I just answered to you is that the superiority in numbers is meaningless…”

“So now you want to say that we don’t have any advantage in logistical supplies? How can this be? We are such a huge empire, and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is just a chamber of commerce!”

“Your Majesty, it is precisely because the New Flying Chamber of Commerce is only a chamber of commerce, so they are more flexible in logistical supply, which is more advantageous than us. Of course, the most important reason is not this, but the New Flying Chamber of Commerce does… There is an incomparably huge advantage in this respect, even bigger than our gap in military magic machinery.”

“Really?” His Majesty Emperor Candela frowned deeply, his expression a little unbelieving.

“Your Majesty, what do you think is the so-called logistics supply, specifically?” Marshal Sudirman asked.

“This…” Emperor Candela pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: “I am not a soldier, and I can’t describe it clearly. But the so-called logistical supply, in general, is nothing more than preparing enough supplies, and then distributing these supplies. Give them to soldiers who need them.”

“Your Majesty is wise, what you are talking about is the essence of logistics supplies.” Marshal Sudirman nodded slightly to his Majesty Emperor Candela in approval, and then continued: “But if you think about it carefully, you will find that in these two aspects, The New Flying Chamber of Commerce has actually far surpassed all the countries on the Sainz mainland at two levels.”

“So exaggerated?”

“It’s so exaggerated.” Marshal Sudirman said with a stern face: “The New Flying Chamber of Commerce has various factories under its name, and the production capacity of any material is extremely strong. Taking military food as an example, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce only relies on them and the elves. The flour processing plant established by the joint venture can produce enough food for 500 soldiers to use for a whole week in one day. As for the most critical military magic machinery, I am not sure about the specific production situation of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. It’s very clear, but it is conceivable that the New Flying Business Association will spend the most energy on this to ensure.”

Emperor Candela was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.

“Then in terms of transportation of materials, the New Flying Chamber of Commerce now has magical machines such as magic locomotives, magic ships, magic airships, etc., which can be transported by super-fast transportation methods from land, sea, and air. Although it is also in our empire. Equipped with some large-scale freight magic locomotives, but they are far from meeting the requirements. Most of the material transportation and supplies are still relying on ancient and backward carriages. Not to mention the safety and carrying capacity, but the speed alone is worse than the new flying chamber of commerce. Many times.”

His Majesty Emperor Candela has been silent for a longer time this time. He looked at the heavy expression on Marshal Sudirman’s face, frowned and fell into deep thought, with the same solemn expression.

In fact, as the emperor of the Candela Empire, he certainly has a certain understanding of these extremely important things for the Candela Empire.

However, before that, he had always felt that although the New Flying Chamber of Commerce did have many advantages that other countries could not match, and even the Candela Empire could not be compared, it was nothing more than a chamber of commerce after all.

So before that, his attitude towards the New Flying Chamber of Commerce has always been that they can cooperate, and then gain benefits through cooperation, and they have not really been treated as equal objects.

As for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, if it really dares to become an enemy of the huge Candela Empire, then it will lose some benefits, and it must also give this Chamber of Commerce a lesson.

But now that he heard Marshal Sudirman’s clear analysis and categorical answers without hesitation, he realized that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce really could not be treated as an ordinary chamber of commerce.

This chamber of commerce actually has an absolute advantage in the military, which is really unimaginable.

“In other words, Sudirman, your conclusion is that we can’t fight directly with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce now?” His Majesty Candela thought for a while and asked.

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Marshal Sudirman nodded solemnly. “We should try to avoid all direct conflicts with the New Flying Business Association.”

“So now we can’t do anything against the Ruelson Kingdom?” His Majesty the Emperor Candela asked again.

Marshal Sudirman smiled bitterly: “The New Flying Chamber of Commerce has made a clear statement. Although it is very unwilling, but from the perspective of the empire, it is better not to consider this matter again.”

“Okay, I’ll ask you one last question.” His Majesty Candela asked in a deep voice, “We can’t fight the New Flying Merchants Association head-on, because you think that the imperial army cannot be an opponent of the New Flying Merchants Association’s guards. Then. I want to ask, if the New Flying Chamber of Commerce suddenly invades the empire, will our empire’s army be unable to resist it?”

Marshal Sudirman immediately put away his bitter smile, with a solemn expression, and said with a serious face: “Your Majesty! Even if we sacrifice the lives of all our soldiers, we will never allow anyone else to invade even one inch of the empire’s land!”

“I’m not asking your loyalty, but you are asking if you can resist it?” His Majesty Candela raised his voice and asked.

Marshal Sudirman was silent for a breath, and nodded slowly and heavily.

“Don’t worry, Your Majesty, attacking others and defending and attacking are two different things. The New Flying Merchants Association cannot have enough power to invade the empire, and Xu Yi will not be so stupid.”

“Very good.” His Majesty Emperor Candela nodded with satisfaction. “Since we can’t directly smash the New Flying Chamber of Commerce on the battlefield, then we will think of other ways. After all, behind us is the huge Candela Empire, and behind Xu Yi is just a Chamber of Commerce.”
