Chapter 99 Buy a Car

Russell walked out of the Naval Staff Headquarters with a sullen face. ,

Looking up at the gloomy sky above his head because of the thick clouds, Russell sighed deeply, shook his head, his eyes were full of helplessness.

No matter how impassioned and solemn he was just now, Chief of Staff Isaury has never expressed any approval for his thoughts.

Even regarding his final proposal, Chief of Staff Isaury unceremoniously dismissed it as absurd!

"Absurd? Maybe..." Russell smiled wryly, feeling that Chief of Staff Isori's reaction was not surprising.

It would be ridiculous for anyone to hear that Russell actually suggested that the Imperial Navy cancel all existing fleets and replace them with new frigates of the Flying Chamber of Commerce.

Although the Kandela Imperial Navy Fleet has not received as much attention as the Imperial Army, it has been more than six hundred years since its establishment, and now it has four complete fleets under its name, with ships of all sizes and sizes. Nearly 2,000 searches, and more than 100,000 subordinates.

It is completely impossible to cut down such a huge establishment all at once.

Of course, Russell is also very clear that this idea is completely impossible to realize, so his real suggestion is to hope that the Imperial Navy can cut off part of the establishment, and then use this part of the saved budget to purchase the frigates of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and form a new fleet of ships.

However, this idea still has not won the support of Chief of Staff Isore.

"Cut off a part? Well, which part to cut?"

The rhetorical question of Chief of Staff Isore left Russell speechless.

As the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Naval Staff Department, Russell certainly knows much more about the situation of the Imperial Navy than most people.

He is very clear. Although the Imperial Navy has only four fleets in name. But there are many factions in these four fleets. All the forces in the empire are involved in it, and if you want to shake the position of any of the factions or forces, it is tantamount to directly declaring war on them.

Yeah, which part to cut off?

It is easy to say, but it is too difficult to do.

Don't say that Russell is only the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Imperial Navy. Even if he is the Governor of the Imperial Navy, or even the Chief of the Military Department, there is no possibility for him to make this decision easily.

The only possibility to do this. Probably only His Majesty the emperor who is aloof.

But for His Majesty the Emperor, the only threat in his mind came from the Maro Empire, and the Imperial Navy had never been valued by him.

If you really want to propose this proposal to him, maybe His Majesty's first thought is to simply cut off the entire Imperial Navy.

In the final analysis, since the establishment of the Imperial Navy, it has not brought much substantial benefit to the Empire. This is the most important reason why most people in the Empire do not pay much attention to the Imperial Navy.

This situation has not improved in the six hundred years since the establishment of the Imperial Navy, nor has it improved in the twenty years since Russell joined the Imperial Navy Staff.

In the foreseeable future, I am afraid that there will still be no improvement.

There was nothing Russell could do about this situation, so he couldn't think of a reason that could convince Chief of Staff Isore. Can only leave sadly.

"The only thing that is gratifying is that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is only a small Chamber of Commerce in the Principality of Standing after all. It is impossible to pose a real threat to our Imperial Navy..."

Russell comforted himself in his heart, but still felt a little uneasy.

When he visited the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the Principality of Standing before, although he only stayed for a few days before leaving, he saw countless magical places there.

Deep down in Russell's heart, there was always an idea that was a bit ridiculous to say.

This Xinfei Chamber of Commerce seems to come from another world.

The messy magical machines it produced seemed to be items that should not have belonged to this continent.

At that time, when he saw those ordinary magic machines in the Duchy of Standing, his feelings were not so deep, but after seeing the huge magic ships of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the incomparably powerful combat power of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's escort fleet, This feeling was getting deeper and deeper, and it made him feel more and more uneasy.

He always felt that if this new flying merchant was allowed to continue to develop like this, it might...be a threat to the entire Candela Empire.

This thought flashed through Russell's mind again, and he couldn't help laughing at himself.

The Candela Empire is one of the two major empires on this continent, and it is an irresistible behemoth for the entire continent.

Don't say that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is just an inconspicuous small chamber of commerce in the Principality of Standing, even the entire Principality of Standing will not be regarded by the Candela Empire at all.

The uneasiness in his heart caused by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce might as well be the uneasiness caused by his ignorance of these strange magic machines produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Thinking of this, Russell waved to his private coachman who was quietly waiting beside him: "Martin, do you know where in the city there is a magic machine that sells the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? Take me to have a look."

Martin was taken aback.

Master Russell finally came back from the Imperial Navy Base along the coast to visit Wimbledon City. It was fine to report to the Naval Staff Headquarters first, but then why did he want to go to see the magic machinery of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?

"This... my lord, what type of magical machine do you want to see?" Martin asked after thinking for a while.

"Huh? What type? Are there many types?" Russell responded the moment the question was asked.

When visiting the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he had seen countless kinds of novel magic machines, so since the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's magic machines entered Wimbledon City, of course there are also a wide variety.

"Well, there are not only magic lamps for lighting, but also magic stoves for living, magic rice cookers for steaming rice, and magic water heaters for heating water..."

Martin began to introduce Russell one by one with his fingers.

The reason why he knows these magical machines so well is also because recently he actually wants to buy some for home use.

I heard from people I know that these magic machines of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are very convenient and easy to use, and can bring a lot of convenience to life.

Although he was only a coachman, Master Russell had always treated him kindly, and there were many people who wanted to get in touch with Lord Russell through him, so they had little savings, so they didn't have to worry about the cost of these magic machines.

"Okay, just take me to have a look." Russell waved his hand, interrupting Martin's narration.

"Well, my lord, please."

When Martin stretched out his hand to help Russell into the carriage, he suddenly hesitated and said hesitantly, "My lord... Actually, I have a suggestion..."

"What suggestion?" Russell looked at him strangely.

"I think... you might as well buy a magic car?" Martin looked at Russell expectantly.

"Magic car?" Russell was stunned, and quickly remembered the strange magic car that Ambassador Hakain invited him to take when he went to inspect the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

"Yes, the magic car is much more comfortable to sit in than a carriage. The key is that it is very fast and very safe. Two days ago, Baron Soto's magic car collided with Earl Hussein's carriage. Guess what happened? Earl Hussein's carriage was completely smashed to pieces, but Baron Soto's magic car was only hit by a hole in the front, and the people inside were all fine. The next day after the collision, Earl Hussein went to his house Bought three magic cars and said he'd never go out in a carriage again. Plus..."

Listening to Martin rambling there, talking about the various experiences in Wimbledon in the past few days, while praising the various conveniences and benefits of the magic glue car, Russell's thoughts drifted to the previous inspection with Ambassador Hakan The situation when Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Although he was amazed by all the strange things he saw at that time, what really shocked him was the magic airship he was on before meeting Xu Yi.

The magic car is amazing, but compared to the magic airship, it is undoubtedly far behind.

If possible, he would really like to own a magic airship directly.

But unfortunately, even the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not put the magic airship into mass production, so his expectation could not be realized.

"Okay, then go buy one." Russell nodded suddenly, interrupting Martin's words.

"...It was so fast at the time, I didn't even see it clearly...Huh? My lord, do you decide to buy it?"

"Well, since you find it convenient, you can buy one. But when will the magic cars of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce be sold in Wimbledon? Didn't they only sell some household magic machines before?" Russell asked back .

"My lord, you haven't been back for several months, so I don't know. More than three months ago, a store was opened in Wimbledon to sell the magic cars of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. You can see that they can be found everywhere in Wimbledon. I saw the magic cars, and I bought them all from that store." At this point, Martin looked around, approached Russell, and whispered mysteriously: "I heard that the owner of this store is Cong Lan. The one from the Kingdom of Parry seems to be related to His Royal Highness Prince Frank..."

"Oh?" Russell raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that Prince Frank seems to have had private contact with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce before. Does this store represent the establishment of a cooperative relationship between Prince Frank and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?

He didn't know that the cooperation between Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Prince Frank had already come to an end.

The behind-the-scenes owner of this store is Baron Billier, who was able to open this store because of his kinship with Prince Frank.

But on the surface, this store has nothing to do with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce except for the magic cars of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Russell thought for a moment, then nodded to Martin.

"Okay, let's go to this store first."

Seeing Russell's promise, Martin immediately beamed with joy, raised his whip and whipped the buttocks of the two horses pulling the cart, and drove the carriage towards the Imperial Navy Staff Headquarters. (To be continued..)
