Chapter 938 Non-violent non-cooperation
President Moores of the Chalco Borough Association of Industry and Commerce asked in a deep voice, "So, why don't we rely on the power of the Republic to reject Erebonia?"
This President Moores is a Calvad immigrant. Although he is interested in Close Bell, it is impossible to avoid a bias between the two major countries.
Heiyue's branch director Li Cao pushed his glasses and chuckled and interrupted, "I'll answer this question."
"Although the Republic and the Empire are barely in balance today, most people should be able to see it."
"After successively annexing Jule, Closbel and Northampulia, the comprehensive national strength of the Ereponian Empire has surpassed the Kalwad Republic in all respects. This can be seen from the number of soldiers that the two major countries can mobilize."
The Republic had to use its strength to raise 880,000 people, while the Empire easily plundered 1.2 million soldiers.
Even if the gap between the two sides' arms and materials is not considered, it is difficult for the Republic to maintain its front line on the border for a long time alone.
"Although I might not say that, who was born in the Republic..."
Li Cao smiled sinisterly and said, "But if you want to find a big tree to enjoy the cool air, shouldn't you find the largest one?"
"snort!"
President Moores, born in a merchant family, has no favoritism for Heiyue. His ancestors were forcibly charged protection fees by these gangs from the East Continent.
"Heiyue's branch secretary Li Cao, you haven't finished your words yet."
President Morse looked at Li Cao coldly and said, "If we can cut off the ties with the Republic headquarters, although it will be tight in a short period of time, Closebell's Black Moon branch will become your one-man show from now on, completely freeing from the clampdown of the elders."
"Haha~ This is one of the reasons."
Li Cao smiled without hesitation and admitted, "After all... even I have my own dreams, and those elders who care about things really dragged me down."
"Play!"
Dita clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, although Mr. Li Cao said it very explicitly, it is the truth."
"Even if Northampulia will inevitably undergo abnormal movements after the fall of the prime minister, the core interests of the empire will not be affected, and it will be difficult for the republic to gain advantage in their hands."
"In that case, why don't we help Herrebonia in this situation so that we can gain more benefits and voice when everything is settled?"
Imeidal said with a stick and said, "I have no objection. Whether in terms of logic or interest, following the empire is better than the Republic."
"Don't forget to support the pillar of the Closebell financial world IBC..."
A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Imedal's mouth, "It's in the hands of a certain duke now."
Dita's mouth twitched slightly, and this was also a pain in his heart.
Although the Kurois family has a strong family and even if IBC is taken away, there will still be a large amount of deposits. Losing this pillar industry will also be a big blow to the Kurois family.
‘That prodigal girl…’
Thinking of his unfilial daughter Mariabel, Dita was so angry that his teeth were itchy.
If she hadn't had any interest in inheriting the bank and turned to follow a secret organization to pursue the ultimate mystery of alchemy, how could IBC have fallen into Ryan's hands?
"Cough~"
Dita coughed lightly and interrupted Imedar's words. "Madam Imedar's words make sense. In the two years since I was imprisoned, Closbel and Erebonia have developed too much entanglement."
"If we leave the entanglement with Erebonia and turn to the Republic, it will inevitably cause significant damage to both the Closbel and the Empire. I don't think the Empire will sit idly by and watch this happen."
"In conclusion, Speaker McDowell and I decided to continue to maintain a good cooperative relationship with the Empire... or the Empire's aristocratic faction."
"This time the overthrow of the prime minister's rule is a good opportunity. In order to gain more initiative after the war, I would like to mobilize your own connections, financial resources and other resources to help us."
After Dita finished speaking, the big guys present whispered for a while.
Douglas, deputy commander of the Crossbelt local army, stood up and said, "I agree with Mr. Dita's proposal that at least the two years after Governor Alex, who belonged to the nobles, had never treated us unfairly."
"I don't understand political and financial issues, but the Closbeer local army has the current combat effectiveness and high-end armament, which is inseparable from the support of the noble party."
"For Closbell, who is now under the rule of the Prime Minister's Sect... I don't need to say anything more, right?"
The military boss nodded first, and the remaining business giants exchanged views with each other, with President Morse and Mrs. Imedal leading the agreement.
Ellie, who represented the political circles, and several state legislators also agreed, and the secret service support department, as the civil representative, also passed the unanimous vote.
"very good."
Dita nodded with satisfaction, "I'm glad that everyone has reached a consensus, so... it's the turn to implement the specific plan."
"Before leaving, Duke Kane gave us a commission, so that we can do our best to hold back the Iron Blood Prime Minister's attention so that he can lead his subordinates to destroy an important stronghold under Iron Blood."
"As a letter of fame, we must do this beautifully. Please brainstorm your ideas. If there is any way to make the prime minister unable to live without Crossbel, please tell me if you say it."
After Dita said that, Li Cao took the lead in smiling and raising his hand.
"Mr. Li Cao."
Li Cao smiled and said, "Everyone, the Prime Minister will come to Crossbel in person. What he is most worried about is the stability of this front-line city."
"So think about it the other way around, as long as we can make Close Bale less stable, the Prime Minister should have to spend more energy here, right?"
The smile on Li Cao's face, which was like a poisonous snake, made everyone present feel cold.
After a while, Royd frowned and asked, "Mr. Li Cao, what do you mean..."
“Haha~”
Li Cao pushed his glasses again, "I think everyone should not give up all their wealth and the prime minister, so we will follow a principle - non-violent non-cooperation on the premise of causing trouble for him."
"Before we are completely annoyed the Prime Minister to use force, we can form an alliance to make things difficult for him. We, Heiyue, will collect information. Once he has the intention of taking action, everyone will stop immediately."
Imeidal nodded slowly, "I understand. Although this method is very insidious, it is a good idea in the current situation."
President Morse decided for a while and chose to agree, "It's time for the Prime Minister to understand our voice and will to resist. If he is allowed to continue to bully, the major chambers of commerce in Crossbel will not be able to continue to operate."
Ellie stood up and interrupted, "Everyone, about the Chamber of Commerce, I have a suggestion from Mr. Kane to stay here."
"President Morse, as the prime minister, now the pioneer in business development, is it still the Kleist Chamber of Commerce?"
"That's right."
Ellie smiled and said, "That's easy. Mr. Kane left only one sentence. Hugo from the Klester Chamber of Commerce is the secret he inserted."
"oh?"
