Chapter 72 Warning From the Two Great Empires

Under the leadership of their subordinates, Xu Yi and Eto'o came to a reception center set up by 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 hall of the reception center of Nuoda University was so quiet that it was unbelievable that even the extremely slight footsteps of the two waitresses could be heard. Hear it clearly.

Except for the two waiters who were still walking around, almost no one in the hall made any major movements. No matter what they were doing, they looked cautious, as if they were afraid of breaking the current deadly atmosphere.

Everyone's eyes are on the two groups of people sitting on the opposite side of the hall intentionally or unintentionally, but the eyes of these two groups of people are fixed on the opposite side, even if they don't need to feel more, they can easily smell There is a strong smell of gunpowder mixed in it.

Eto'o frowned and glanced at the two groups of people, and his eyes fell on the group of people on the left who were leading the delegation of Marlowe's army. He walked over, asked a few words in a low voice, and then turned his head to look To the group of people on the opposite side, they looked weird.

After seeing Eto'o's movements, the group of people on the right realized Xu Yi and others had arrived, and the person sitting in the middle raised his hand to greet Xu Yi.

"President Xu, you are back."

Xu Yi nodded to him with a smile: "Master Russell, didn't you say that you will arrive the day after tomorrow? Why are you here today?"

Russell, the deputy chief of staff of the Naval Staff Department of the Candela Empire, glanced at the people in Marotti's headquarters who were sitting opposite, and said with a cold snort: "If you didn't come two days in advance, how could you find these surprising people? Where are the guests?"

His tone was full of sarcasm, from his expression. It can also be seen that he must be quite dissatisfied now. Even anger.

However, Xu Yi didn't seem to understand the meaning of his words at all. Keeping smiling, he took two steps forward, came between the two groups of people, first stretched out his left hand to signal to the people in Marlowe's army on the left, and said, "Come on, let me introduce, these people are from Guests of the Maro Empire."

Russell snorted again: "President Xu, I don't need your introduction. They are all from the Marlowe Army. How could I not know."

"Oh?" Xu Yi turned to look at Eto'o. "Then you should also know these guests?"

Eto'o frowned, looked at Xu Yi with some puzzled eyes, but still nodded and said: "Of course, these few didn't deliberately hide their identities, if we still can't recognize them, it's too unreasonable." Yes. Are you right? Dear Lord Russell, the Jungle Fox of the Kendela Empire?"

"The fox of the jungle?" Xu Yi looked at Russell in surprise. "Master 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."

"Master Russell, it's wrong to be so modest." Eto'o raised his voice. "When you were still working for the Candela Empire Army, our Marlow Empire suffered a lot of losses under your hands. I give you such a nickname. But I respect you. If you think it's nothing If so, wouldn’t our military of the Maro Empire be too shameful?”

"What do you Marloti think? It's none of my business?" Russell said expressionlessly. "What's more, 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. "Emperor Candela left a powerful jungle combat master like you unused, but was transferred to the navy. It's downright stupid."

Russell was silent, and he didn't say anything to refute.

Judging from this reaction, I am afraid that he also agrees with what Eto'o said in his heart, but in view of his status, it is obviously impossible for him to echo what he said.

"Well, Master Russell, no matter what you were doing before, since you are here now, if I guessed right, you should also come for the military magic machinery of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, right?" Eto'o asked again.

"This has nothing to do with you." Russell responded lightly.

"No, of course it has something to do with me. In other words, it has something to do with our entire Maro Empire." Having said that, Eto'o turned his head to look at Xu Yi, with a hint of questioning in his eyes. "President Xu, Master Russell refuses to say, are you willing to tell me?"

Xu Yi shrugged: "I'm sorry, it is our necessary duty to protect the privacy of our clients. I cannot disclose it to others without the client's consent."

Eto'o nodded slightly: "Okay, I understand."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and took a deep look at Russell, then turned around and greeted everyone at Marlowe's side, bid farewell to Xu Yi and left.

After they left the reception center, Russell stared at Xu Yi, and asked in a deep voice: "President Xu, can you tell me what's going on?"

Xu Yi replied with a smile: "As you can see, that's what happened."

Russell narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes, but he didn't continue to ask.

###

Two days later, Eto'o left the Duchy of Standing with the Marlowe Imperial Army delegation and returned to the Marot Empire.

In the last conversation with Xu Yi, he revealed to Xu Yi that if there is no accident, Marlowe will order a large number of military magic machines currently sold by Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Able to 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 implicitly expressed a little dissatisfaction to Xu Yi, that is, while the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is cooperating with the Maro Empire, it is also maintaining cooperation with the Candela Empire.

He warned Xu Yi that this practice of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will most likely lead to the distrust of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from the Marodi Party, and may affect the confidence in the in-depth cooperation between the Marodi Party and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Four days after sending off the Marotti Imperial Army delegation, Xu Yi also sent off the Candela Imperial Navy delegation led by Russell.

The purpose of Russell bringing people here this time is very simple. He just hopes to buy another ten frigates and various supporting military magic machines from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

At the same time, the Kandela Imperial Navy also hopes that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can provide them with further relevant technical information about the frigate, so as to facilitate their subsequent maintenance of the frigate. and more training programs.

But after seeing all the members of Marlowe's army with his 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 Maro Empire and the Candela Empire are hostile identities, he and the Candela Empire's party do not want to see Xinfei Chamber of Commerce choose to cooperate with the Maro Empire.

If the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce insists on doing so, it may cause Candela Imperial Party to lose trust in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and affect the cooperative relationship between the two parties.

Basically, Russell's words and Eto'o's words have similar meanings, anyway, they just don't want Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to be in two boats. At the same time maintain cooperation with the two empires.

Russell's warning was more specific. He said that if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce continues to cooperate with the Maro Empire, it will not only affect the cooperation between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Empire in the field of military magic machinery, but also very likely affect both parties. Cooperation in the field of civil magical machinery.

Specifically, the Candela Empire will most likely judge the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as a hostile relationship 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 President Xu, you know very well that losing a market as huge as our Candela Empire is a serious loss to your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. So... President Xu, please think about it carefully, and don't make a wrong choice."

Russell's warning to Xu Yi, even a threat, was obviously not a joke. However, it fell into Xu Yi's ears...

"Why do these guys like talking nonsense so much?"

Xu Yi picked out his ears. There was an expression of complete disdain on his face.

Although the two empires reacted relatively quickly and understood the importance of military magic machinery, they have not yet recognized the situation clearly, and they have put themselves in a high position, pretending that they are looking for Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Cooperation is a gesture to give Xinfei Chamber of Commerce a chance.

Actually?

"How about an old saying? The wheel of history is already rolling, and anyone who stands in front of it will only be crushed."

Xu Yi smiled lightly, forgetting all the warnings and threats from Eto'o and Russell.

The current situation clearly shows that the two empires are actively seeking the cooperation of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but it is not the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that is begging them to cooperate. It is really meaningless for them to put on such a high profile.

Even if the militaries of the two empires are dissatisfied and even wary of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, how can they not do this kind of thing if they don't want to?

In particular, the Candela Empire suffered a great loss in two consecutive wars with the Rulson Kingdom, and they felt even more deeply about the threat posed by military magic machines.

If it weren't for the sake of face, I'm afraid they would have rushed forward to buy military magic machines like the Maro Empire, so there is no need to beat around the bush like they are now.

As for the Maro Empire, there is no need to worry. Although they don’t have the pain of the Candela Empire, since the Candela Empire has shown interest in the military magic machines produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Maro Empire must follow up and not allow themselves to be here. Aspects lag behind the Candela Empire.

To put it simply, Xu Yi regards these two great empires as pawns in his hands, and uses the hostile relationship between them to raise his status.

This approach, as Magister Camilla and Xu Yi realized, is like playing with fire, and it is very dangerous.

But Xu Yi is very confident in the result, because in terms of the current situation, it is impossible for the two empires to pose any threat to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

And aside from the aspect of military magic machinery, Xu Yi paid the most attention to it, which was also the aspect of civilian magic machinery mentioned by Russell, so there was no need to worry.

If it is said that military magic machinery may have problems due to the scruples of the two imperial powers, then the trend in civilian magic machinery has already become a torrent, and it is not something that can be stopped by anyone who is unwilling. Can live.

Xu Yi picked up a copy of last month's financial statement in his hand, looked at the rows of data above, narrowed his eyes slightly, and laughed like a laughing fox that had succeeded in a trick. (To be continued..)
