Chapter 857, Bulk Empire

s The second change asks for a guaranteed monthly pass

Merry Adabe feels good about herself recently.

Although the Merry Man pretended to be calm on the surface during the dwarf's vengeance and the arrival of Ryan and others, he was actually very disturbed in his heart, for fear that someone would find his head. Adabe knew that he was often a rag. The princes felt that he was useless, so he was likely to be abandoned.

Therefore, when the dwarves arrived, Adabe had already made a series of arrangements so that he could get out of this vortex.

Everything was planned, but suddenly the emperor was attacked, and the whole Marienburg was shaken. Everyone cursed Hugmans for his recklessness and sloppiness, especially the citizens of Marienburg. They never felt that I am a member of the Empire, and they thought that if you plan an assassination, you should plan carefully and be more detailed.

However, Adabe suddenly realized that the occurrence of this incident had relieved him of danger. Everyone in Marienburg, including the dwarves and Bretons, had already focused their attention on the emperor and the two houses. .

I'm all right

Hugmans beef batch

He used his own sacrifice to buy me and Alphonse the safety

The limelight is over. Adabe is sitting in the attic on the top floor of the Seagull and Trident Hotel, looking down secretly. His eyes are focused on the glamorous Queen of Knights, Suria, and Adabe suddenly feels that he also Isn't there no chance at all, let's wait for the limelight to pass before making a long-term plan

"Alphonse, have you given away the gift I asked you to buy?" Adabe said to his son Alphonse.

"It's all given away, a gift worth 20,000 gold marks, two copies, one for the Britannian, and one for the Legion of Ashes." Alphonse nodded, "Including dozens of high-quality dwarven plate armor, one hundred A lot of muskets, as well as a large number of military logistics items, were sent out, and the other party also accepted them."

"Okay, very good, next, let us take the lead and make a fine donation in Marienburg." The romantic guest said firmly, "We will donate first, and we will donate 15,000 gold Mark Alphonse, go and call on the whole city Let's donate together and mobilize everyone, especially members of the upper and lower houses."

"But father, would those congressmen be willing to donate?" Alphonse still hesitated, and he whispered, "After all, this is a direct donation, and there is no benefit, and it doesn't have the reputation of doing charity."

"Hey, stupid boy, what do you know?" Adabe couldn't help laughing. The underground emperor who had been in Marienburg for decades stretched out an index finger and tapped it on the table. He tapped on the wooden tabletop "It is necessary for the congressmen to take the lead in donating, and then the citizens will be willing to donate. This is a necessary and sufficient condition."

"Yeah." Alphonse also nodded, and his son also admitted this. He leaned back and slowly leaned back on the armchair. "But this is the problem, how to persuade the members to donate money?"

"It's very simple. We made an agreement with the congressman in advance. After all the donation money is received, the congressman's money will be returned in full, and the citizens' money will be split." Adabe made a sign of the cross on the table, "I know what to do now." what?"

"Understood." Alphonse immediately understood, he picked up his wide-brimmed gentleman hat, and immediately went out.

"Hmm." Adabe watched his son go out. He thought for a while, and then looked down from the attic. King Ryan, Queen Suria, and Beria were sitting there discussing matters.

The fliers know they are most likely discussing something important,

But Adabe didn't dare to come close to eavesdrop anyway. What kind of strength is Ryan, what kind of strength is he, he will die, and it will be over if he is not careful.

I hope he can make a good impression on Ryan and the others by doing this, Adabe thought deeply, so that no one will focus on himself.

This is thinking about retreat and thinking about change.

Someone above the attic was thinking, and in the terrace shed under the attic, Ryan also gave the task to Beria.

Britannia is not qualified to intervene in the internal affairs of Marienburg, but it is beyond reproach for Grand Duke Schultz to hire a private consultant. Ryan arranged for Beria to be by Schultz's side is the result of careful consideration. Beria is now His role is a completely secular bureaucrat, and his identity will not arouse the disgust of businessmen.

"At the same time, send letters immediately." Ryan took out several letters, "Belia, in my name, immediately hand over these letters to the Sea God Church, and use the transmission function to send them to all the electors in the empire except the emperor's faction, and also There is Archbishop Vicmar and Pope Emile Wager of the White Wolf, the letter of Archbishop Vicmar in the name of Alfred, Patriarch of Western Britannia, remember."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Beria stretched out his hands, took a thick stack of letters from Ryan, then got up, bowed, and left.

"Since we can't stop it, let's muddy the water." Ryan looked towards the distant sea and smiled, "How can our Emperor Karl eat alone? Has he forgotten that his empire is a bulk empire?"

"Come on, Suria, let's go find little Solgreen right now."

"good"

I am the dividing line that muddies the water

Sure enough, two days later, the city council of Marienburg had to hold another meeting immediately. At the meeting, the high elves stood up for the first time and challenged the emperor and his anti-revolutionary committee. "The official Marienburg is Aso It is the only designated old world treaty port in Seoul, where our embassy is located and where the last enclave is located. The Cheka Committee established by the empire has had a serious impact on the interests of Asur and freedom and democracy. We cannot be sure, this Whether the Cheka can guarantee that the interests of Asur will not be affected, so we require that the high elves must occupy more than one-third of Marienburg

One seat or the High Elves refuse to accept the existence of the Cheka"

The attack by the high elves caught the emperor by surprise, but if the high elves were involved, wouldn't the power of the Cheka Committee be greatly reduced?

At the VIP seat, the special envoy of the dwarves, Bellegar's eldest son Thorgreen Hammer moved several books, padded them up, and sat next to Ryan, listening carefully to what Ryan said. He raised his own question "Lian Your Majesty, Marienburg is not the territory of the empire, and the people here are not the citizens of the empire. Why did the emperor do this? Also, why did you let me stand on the side of Marienburg? We and the business princes of Marienburg, no Enemy?"

"Your Highness Solgreen, please listen to me carefully." Ryan smiled and said, "Calm down first, let me analyze it for you."

"Oh, of course. Before I came, my father told me many times to listen to Brother Ryan and don't make it difficult for him." Of course, little Solgreen admired him very much for successfully completing the impossible task, and took back eight. Fengshan's father, the true King of Eight Peaks, Bellegar Hammer.

"We are different from the emperor. We came to Marienburg this time just to teach these business princes a lesson. We are here to find trouble, to find fault, but we are not here to overturn the table." Ryan said softly, "We are just forcing The merchants spit out a sum of money, but the emperor is different, the emperor's plan is to take the wealth of these merchants as his own, and take away the autonomy of these merchants."

"Yeah, I know, this is the difference between clan union and clan allegiance." Mustache nodded repeatedly, "Sometimes a clan makes a mistake, and we will ask them to hand over enough ransom or meteorite, and the matter will be over. "

"That's right, but if the empire takes back Marienburg, without this free port, the goods market in the old world will fall under the control of the empire, the prices of raw materials and various commodities will be controlled by the empire, and the market and prices will be under the control of the emperor Exit." Ryan nodded again and again, and he continued to teach, "What's more, now that the emperor is short of money, he is likely to expropriate the wealth of Marienburg, and once this precedent is opened, it will be impossible to close it. Once the emperor lacks money in the future, subconsciously If the land wants to expropriate Marienburg's money, then Marienburg will lose its status completely."

"Oh, I see, just like all the dwarves are worried about whether the king of Haimen Pass, Baiernov, will change the openness and trade traditions of Haimen Pass. I understand, we really can't let the empire Take control of Fort Marien." Mustache learns surprisingly fast, which surprised Ryan a bit. This mustache is worth cultivating.

The King of Knights suddenly felt that Bellegar sent his eldest son to him, which meant something like this. Brother Ryan, I am not good at teaching children, so I will leave it to you to teach young Solgreen.

To put it simply, just like Ryan's previous life, the decline of Eastern Luo and the rise of the Ottomans controlled the Silk Road. European merchants had to try to open up "new routes". For Ryan, if Marienburg was actually controlled by the empire, then The business activities of the Knight Kingdom in the Old World are almost entirely dependent on the face of the Empire, so he can only turn his head to the New World to do business, and then he will be controlled by the high spirits.

Needless to say, how much profit will be lost in trade that loses the initiative.

From another perspective, Fort Marien is a natural buffer zone between the Empire and Britannia. In the history of the Empire and Brittania, the two sides have not always been allies, and there are also many frictions and wars. This is what is meant by the so-called far fragrance and near smell.

Now at least Ryan still has the initiative to trade, just like Adidas and Nike, he at least has the initiative to choose.

"Understood." Little Thorgreen understood Ryan's meaning.

So, after negotiating with the high elves on the empire side for a long time, and finally agreed to give the high elves two or three seats in the Anti-Correction Committee, the dwarf special envoy Thorgreen stood up and made a move before striking out: "I don't agree with the emperor. Your Majesty, son of Charlemagne, Karl Franz, I am very puzzled by your decision. On behalf of all the dwarves in Marienburg, I disagree with your decision. You have seriously violated by including the high elves in your Cheka For the interests of the dwarves, on behalf of all the dwarves, I ask you that there must be a seat for the dwarves in the anti-counterfeiting committee and must be equal to the elves, otherwise we cannot trust you to protect the interests of the dwarves from infringement."

"" Karl Franz felt that his brain was hit hard, and his eyes went black for a while. As the most reliable ally of the empire, the dwarf actually came out and gave him a backstab at a critical moment.

There's an elf in the Cheka, and a dwarf again, can this committee have a quiet day

The emperor immediately understood who was behind the scenes. He noticed Ryan who was sitting in the VIP seat, smiling without saying a word. The emperor really wanted to smash the head of the knight king whom he had become his confidant and best friend with a warhammer.

Damn it, I can't beat him. The emperor was so angry that his head was smoking, but when faced with the dwarf's request, the emperor had to think carefully. Those are dwarves, the holy ally of the empire.

The emperor suddenly changed from an absolute active position to a passive one. He had no choice but to resort to dragging words, planning to discuss with his courtiers what to do next.

However, this matter was not over yet. Two days later, as Teclis' high-precision phoenix giant ship approached Marienburg, the whole Old World also knew about the Cheka.

The electors and those qualified to elect the emperor jumped out after getting first-hand information because of Ryan's letter.

Grand Duke of Middenland, White Wolf Elector Boris Stoudbringer said that Marienburg belongs to the owner of the empire, and Middenland will also send three knights to join the Cheka

Emmanuel, the Duchess of the Empire, said that the order in Marienburg is very important, and the jurists and professors of Nuer University are ready to join the counter-insurgency

Committee, Legal Guidance

The Great Baron of the Hawkland, Edbrand Ludenhof, the Elector, expressed his willingness to share the emperor's worries. The two master hunters of the Hawkland are already on their way to Marienburg, ready to join the suppression of the counter-revolutionaries

Ostermark Chancellor Wolfram Hertwig Elector said that the emperor will definitely need the help of Ostermark vampire hunters. The two vampire hunters are ready to leave for Marienburg.

The Grand Duke of Steeleland, Alberichhout Anderson, also announced that the security of Marienburg must not be without the participation of the Steelelanders. Their experience in dealing with the undead will be a valuable asset. The two senior battle priests and An ascetic monk is willing to share the emperor's worries

Grand Duke Talabek, Elector Helmut Feuerbach was shocked when he heard the news, the emperor is so weird, Karl Franz is going to eat people, I have to send someone too

Immediately afterwards, Pope Emile Wager of the White Wolf Church also said that a team of White Wolf monks were ready to go. Vikmar, the archbishop of the Justice Church, even said that he would send a whole regiment of paladins to Marienburg to assist the emperor in suppressing the rebellion.

In the end, Theodoric Geisel, King of Nord and Elector of the Nordland, announced that Marienburg has been the territory of the Nord Kingdom since ancient times. Did you not see that my rune teeth all come from Westerland? He wants to personally lead a large army to the south, join the Cheka Committee, and take over Marienburg

Even in the end, Boris Stodbringer also said that the emperor's energy can be concentrated on Marienburg, it doesn't matter, Brunswick can be handed over to us in Midden, and we can also help manage security For example, the Lahmian blood vampire lady named Genevieve is not the emperor who personally ordered to grant permanent residency. Let us help Karl solve the problem

"I'll solve nb." Karl Franz completely lost his composure after hearing the news, and the emperor roared angrily in his temporary residence to vent his anger, "The counter-revolutionaries actually came to my head, Boris, they want to What are you doing?"

"Bulk Empire." Ryan smiled after hearing the news, "There is still a difference in the control over the country between you and me, Carl, sorry."

With so many people added to the Cheka Committee, it can still operate under the guidance of the emperor.

But it doesn’t work if you don’t add them. If the elves are added, the dwarves will also be added, and the dwarves will all be added. Naturally, every elector and major church in the empire will also have to add people. Once this opening is opened, it will not be closed. Before the matter could be finalized, the electors had already arrived one after another, and the emperor had lost the opportunity to control the situation and form a fait accompli.

In this way, the emperor tried his best to achieve the goal with great difficulty. Before the establishment of the so-called anti-counterfeiting committee, its structure has undergone tremendous changes, and it is difficult to play the role it originally planned.

At the same time, Ryan and others also received compensation from the Marienburg merchants from the Marienburg Chambers. The compensation was paid in two installments. When Ursuan came back, he paid another 62,000 gold marks, and the extra 4,000 gold marks were regarded as interest. Solgreen Jr. also agreed, and then the mustache changed hands and loaned the money to Emperor Karl Franz.

Then, with the arrival of Teclis, the two ironclads were ready to go to sea.

A new journey is about to begin.
