Chapter 122: The recalcitrant business alliance

The Second Goblin Empire, which pursues militarism, is not a solid piece of iron. Although the Goblin Army plans to ambush Luo Zhengdao's fleet in an extremely secretive battle plan, as long as more than two people in the world know, it cannot be called a secret.

In the Xiangjiang Business Group, which is mixed with fish and dragons, there are quite a few anonymous people with all kinds of hand-eyed eyes. They quietly expanded their sources of information to the core circle of the goblin empire through various interest transmission channels. Although there is still a big gap between the idea of ​​buying goblin bosses and being informants, it is enough to get some scattered but strategically valuable information. These chaotic and even contradictory rumors are, for businessmen who are good at analyzing market trends and judging future directions, even fragmented information can be restored if considered in combination with various external factors.

Logically speaking, those who knew the secret would not come out to speak nonsense, and it would be a big trouble to be found out by the goblins afterwards. However, today Luo Zhengdao's fleet was at the city and issued the most taboo population transaction clause. They did not take action to prevent the merchant group from reaching this armistice agreement with the pirates. When the goblins pursued them, they would not escape the blame, so some words must be said.

"What! These damn green skins actually..."

When I heard that the goblins used themselves as bait for fishing, a big boss of the business group was immediately furious and bloodless. Outsiders often called them a group of lackeys raised by the goblins. This was really right. The goblin emperor's second country even gave up the pre-telling, and obviously did not treat the business group as a dish!

"Your Excellency Vice President, please be cautious and do not implicate the rest of us."

Under the sarcastic words of his colleagues, the gang leader knew that he had made up his words and had to sit back on the chair by wiping his sweat and wisely closed his mouth. This was a disaster! The president next to him was still worried and said with a sigh:

"I can't fight but I can't reach a peace talk. What do you think should I do?"

"Why find an excuse to delay time!"

When he heard this, the big guys present shook their heads. Since Luo Zhengdao dared to shout out a negotiation condition that must be answered for the hourglass time, it proved that the other party was guarding against the joint use of delaying strategies of the merchant group. If he used tricks on this, he would probably shoot himself in the foot.

"Stop talking nonsense, Earl Fulu is not those useless wastes. Do you think people can't see it?"

"Everyone, otherwise..."

Smart people in the business circle never have shortages of stocks. Someone has already picked them up. Of course, the people here know that he has a way, and they all urged them:

"Don't hesitate, just say something!"

This big man with a brilliant mind but poor character flashed his eyes at this moment and said tentatively:

"We set fire to the port area and temporarily block the pirate attack. It is estimated that the goblin fleet is not far away, so it will be enough to delay for a while."

Hearing the sound, several major players in the shipping industry immediately changed their faces. They couldn't hold back their anger and stood up and cursed:

"Bastard, what nonsense are you talking about? How can we continue our business by setting fire to the port area?"

"Yes! We have most of our warehouse. If we burn it, will you compensate?"

Which kind of guy who came up with this bad idea is probably the answer is to be known without asking. This pretty despicable big man immediately spread his hands, and looked like I was actually very innocent, and said:

"Isn't there any other way? Do you want to hand over the untouchables and wait for the goblins to chop our heads?"

The life and death of others have nothing to do with themselves. Those big men who were destined to suffer heavy losses and economic heavy losses also gave up their tough stance against arson under the persuasion of others. At this time, the president of the business group could not pretend to be deaf and said with a sigh:

"Okay, how much tinea oil do we have in stock?"

"About one thousand five hundred barrels."

"Well, pour it all into the sewer in the port area and prepare to ignite it."

"Yes, Your Excellency President."

No matter what era or system is in, the superiors will not truly regard the people as similar. This is an unsolvable and ever-granted problem.

Since humans established the national system, it is good to have any name, whether it is called chiefs, nobles, kings, emperors, presidents or presidents, in the eyes of these high-ranking rulers, ordinary people are nothing more than NPCs with numbers on their heads. Rather than saying that civilians and superiors are the same or compatriots, they are cattle and sheep grazing by superiors, and they usually cut wool or something, which is the exploitation trick of taxes on the surface and the use of inflation stamping bills and soft knife scraping bones. If the superiors feel it is necessary, those ruled have to give their blood and lives to gain additional benefits for them. Usually these measures are implemented in the sacred name of the state and righteousness. Therefore, the ancient Chinese said that saints do not die, and thieves will not stop!

The joint venture group, which lacks the final word of the core figure, is obviously a chaos of Jiulong's water control. It is difficult for them to make a decision, but the execution is not slow at all. Soon, the private soldiers and thugs raised by the wealthy merchants entered the port area and began to set up arson.

"Hey, is there anyone else? If you want to survive, get out quickly."

These shouting sounds along the street are just acting. The thugs themselves know very well that before setting fire to the shantytowns, they would never have time to evacuate the sojourners living in the slums. If you really want to transfer these people out, don’t be foolish in less than a few days. Screaming a few shouts before setting fire is more like crocodile tears.

"ignition!"

"Bang--"

As several torches were thrown out together, flames of more than one person suddenly rose up, which were more than one person high and spread to all sides along the wet marks poured with tinder oil. The speed of these fire snakes rolled over and spread was dazzling. In a blink of an instant, the wall-like flames swallowed up large areas of buildings in the port area, a simple building composed of wooden boards, hay, broken bricks and rotten tiles, with fire resistance nearly zero. At this time, another strong wind blew, and the height of the flames was as high as three floors. The scorching heat wave forced the thugs far away from the isolation belt to retreat and avoid the power of the tyranny.

To be honest, no one intends to harm the poor who live on the edge of society. They are just unfortunately becoming victims of the big men's plan and victory, and another great plan. If this tragedy happened in the old world, they probably still have the chance to occupy some edge space in the social news pages of newspapers and TV. Following the Weibo post a series of insults that seem to be righteous and honest but never leave the system issues. They whispered that humans hoped that the national dish would cook the lighthouse to shine. Then the battle of the debate continued to boil, and the 50 cents and cents hats flew around. When the debate on the forum gradually lost its popularity, the victims became cold statistics.

In a new world where wars are raging, people's lives are like grass. The deaths of these people on the marginalized society are as unknown as when they once existed in the world, just like a cluster of wild grass growing by the road, quietly withering and withering in the bitter cold wind.

Seeing the rapid spread of fire in the port area on the flagship Avengers, Luo Zhengdao showed a look of surprise. After a moment of absurdity, he shook his head and sighed:

"I actually made up my mind to set the torch and burn the port area. I underestimated the business group and these bastards!"

Zora Hegel, who was temporarily pulled as the captain, handed the steering wheel to the first mate, quickly came to Luo Zhengdao and said:

"A orange signal flare just fired from the other side of the sea, and signs of activity of the goblin fleet have been found."

Knowing that the goblins were not sure enough to take action, Luo Zhengdao nodded confidently and said:

"Well, leave the giant cannon behind and continue bombing the port, send two more cruise ships to protect it, and other ships and flagships go out to sea to fight the goblins."

"Okay, I'll send a signal to call the fleet."

Before the invention of radio, the naval communication technology in the old world relied on optical signals such as flagstones. No matter how big your voice was, it was mythical to want people a few hundred meters away to hear what you were saying in the bitter roaring sea breeze. Although the new world has magic power, the cost of not being able to withstand this thing is not low. Flagships organized above the Yaling Naval Squadron can be equipped with magical magic objects for remote communication. This configuration density is quite luxurious. It is expected that every battleship can communicate instantly, and the gold coins spent enough to build a fleet of the same size.

Whether during the day or at night, optical signal communication is a relatively cheap and easy-to-use means. Especially during the day, mirror-reflected sunlight emits regular code signals, and the transmission distance is longer than flag-telling. At night, the same effect can be achieved with an oil lamp with a light-shading device.

At this time, as the flagship Avenger continued to send a gathering signal to the surrounding pirate ships to prepare for war, the pirate ships that were shelling and suppressing the port turrets gathered again, and lined up all the columns to sail to the outer sea to meet with the sentry team. Even though he knew that the Goblin Empire would take action this time, Luo Zhengdao was still confident of winning, and the pirate attack was in full swing. Since it caught up with this good time, the Goblin could not mobilize too many forces to ambush him, and at most he could only draw a goblin fleet that was almost the same as the Modo Blackwater Chasing Fleet. With this level of strength, Luo Zhengdao, who had extremely rich escape experience, asked himself that it was not difficult to get out and leave. The Goblin wanted to keep him, not as easy as shouting a few slogans.

"Reported that the lookout saw a cruise ship, which should be the outpost of the Goblin Fleet."

The bad news conveyed through the lookout hand, as Luo Zhengdao expected, waved his hand indifferently and said:

"Zola, knock it off and give the green skin some color."

After many tests, he has proved his ability and loyalty and gained trust and can stand alone. Now Zora Hegel is in a state of pride. The captain of the flagship Avengers temporarily took charge of his position. He was satisfied with his improvement in his position when he heard Luo Zhengdao's words, Zora Hegel grinned and said:

"Okay! Your Lazy Guys, let's deal with those green skins!"
Chapter completed!
