Cosma Empire

"It's me, Henry." Henry stood by the window of the study, he just came back from the outside, and honestly he likes the West. There is no one he hates here, such as his elder brother, and there is no wife who makes him feel depressed. The relationship between him and his elder brother is not good, and the relationship between all children born in powerful families and their brothers and sisters may not be so good.

In a noble family, all compete for a place.

In a big capitalist family like a steel tycoon, all the children are scrambling for equity, even if it is one ten thousandth or one hundred thousandth of the equity, they will not let it go.

Not to mention that in the steel tycoon's family, there are two outstanding children in all aspects. They have been comparing secretly to determine who is the most suitable successor of the family in the end. That's why Henry doesn't like his elder brother who tries to outdo him in every way, even in terms of grade and size.

But in the West, no one can compete with him.

Not only is there no annoying brother here, but also the boring wife. He loves his wife very much, and has more than once determined that that woman is the woman he most hopes to be with him in his life, but these things do not prevent him from feeling that his wife is boring. That's like an old-fashioned believer who has to use the priest's position even for the continuation of the family and refuses to change. Perhaps it was the biggest mistake that Mr. John let her go to the girls' school established by the church, but this also did not prevent him from being sure that he loved her.

Of course, love will turn into water after sweetness, from addictive sweetness to something necessary for human life, and he will occasionally adjust his needs and drink some sweet things. In the West, these things are not only sweet, they are as strong as liquor!

Under the name of a steel tycoon, Henry runs the most important part of the family business in the west-purchasing metal ores and turning these metal ores into metal ingots. This is the foundation of all the steel tycoon's industries. Without these metal ingots, the elder brother who claims to be running the most important part of the family business - sales, has nothing to sell. If there is nothing to sell, it means that there is no profit. Even if he can continue to erode the market that belongs to others, he must have enough commodities.

Both brothers think that they are the most important link in the family business. Their reasons are very similar, products or sales, and the analysis is very reasonable.

The west is the largest mining area in the empire, but it is not easy to gain a foothold here. The mining area owned by the United Iron and Steel Group cannot provide enough iron ore, so if Henry wants his own products to keep up with his brother's sales, he must buy raw ore from other mining areas, and there is a problem here. Whether it is Quintis or Alveli, the shipment rate of metal ore is constantly fluctuating. These large-scale industry category monopoly companies do not operate their business with the goal of sales volume.

What they operate is pricing power, rules, and monopoly, so they will not ship endlessly, and they will not sell you if you have money and want to buy. This involves many things that have nothing to do with the West, such as Politics, for example, is a "commodity" that breaks away from the simple relationship between money and goods.

This made Henry very angry. Coupled with the resistance of the Western Mine to big capitalists, it was many times more difficult to get a mining area than an ordinary person. West Mine will fight with him, Quintis will fight with him, and Olveri will fight with him. Coupled with some mining groups, Henry's life in the west was not as happy as people imagined.

He has been trapped here for many years, and has never found a breakthrough, but now he has found it, and that breakthrough is Durin.

He and Du Lin met in private, and more than once, the two quickly found what they needed from each other, which was the way to open up the situation in the West as soon as possible. They all belong to the small group of people who have been excluded, and they all need to expand their careers to prove their worth. As for Du Lin, he raised the ax that fell on the famous George family and chopped down the first axe.

It will not be an obstacle to the cooperation between him and Durin.

The George family is the George family, and the Ander family is the Ander family. They may be married to each other, but they must not be confused.

Durin just called him and needed some help from him. In order to prove that he was qualified to compete with Durin and carve up the fat in the West, Henry called his father. His first phone call to Mr. Ender.

As the largest equity owner of the United Iron and Steel Group, Mr. Ander is far beyond ordinary people in terms of social status and influence. Even when Henry called him, he had to go through the housekeeper to get through.

"Henry? I heard that the West is very interesting recently. Do you want to come back?" Mr. Ander's voice is very thick. He is now learning to sing opera. Elegant people must have a little bit of elegant hobbies. Playing the piano and the like has already passed the age of learning, but singing is not too late.

Henry wrapped his mouth, he put down the curtains, returned to the chair and sat down, "I heard that you have a good relationship with the people from the Ministry of Defense, and the west has now entered a state of military control, which has caused great harm to all businesses. Big shock. Our workers don’t want to go home, and those who go home don’t want to come to work, they are afraid they will be brutalized or even killed. Not long ago, the Brewer’s Bay mining area was attacked by the Freedom Front, and now almost All mining areas have stopped foreign trade, and if the people of the Freedom Front are not wiped out, they may not sell ore to us for a day.”

Mr. Ander on the other end of the phone finally got serious. Just like what Henry said, he knows people from the Ministry of Defense. In addition to his good contacts in the Ministry of Defense, he also has some friendship with Mr. Magus. As the steel group with the largest shipment volume in the empire, it has huge consumer groups in both civilian and military fields. Especially with the rapid economic recovery, the infrastructure construction in various places has created a huge steel consumption market. In addition, the armaments of the Army are still being refitted this year, and the military industry group also has a large number of orders.

So he's connected to every level of the country, and he needs to sell goods, and those people need to buy goods.

If, just if, some orders cannot be fulfilled because there is no steel, the blow to Consolidated will be unprecedented. The cabinet will be disappointed with him, the military will be disappointed with him, and the local governments and those small companies will also be disappointed with him. This is something that Mr. Ander does not allow. His expression was very serious, and he changed his sitting position, "What do you want me to do for you?"

Henry breathed a sigh of relief. He crossed his legs and stuffed a piece of paradise into his mouth and lit it. The whole person was in a highly relaxed state, "I hope you can express your opinion to the Ministry of Defense, for example Concentrate on destroying the armed extremist terrorist organization, the Freedom Front, at least so that I can get what we need from those mines."

"Is the situation really so serious?" Mr. Ander still couldn't believe it. He had never heard that those who opened mines dared not sell mines, and only those who bought mines dared not enter the mining area.

In fact, the facts are much more serious than imagined. The details of the Freedom Front’s killing of Brewer’s Bay have been inexplicably disclosed. At this time, people discovered that those people had bought it through kidnapping and threats more than a month ago. A trading company that trades with Brewer's Bay. Then they spent so long figuring out the defense measures and the number of mine guards in Brewer Bay, where the slaves provided some of the most valuable information.

Then, under the cooperation of the inside and the outside, Brewer Bay, a mining area that had never been challenged, was completely destroyed when it encountered the challenge for the first time.

This has made many mining areas frightened. The ghost knows whether the other party who provides supplies for themselves or has frequent trade with them is a member of the Freedom Front, and whether they have already arranged the same means in their mining areas, waiting for them. The moment the door opens.

So now all the mining areas are tense, even if it is supplies, they all ask the trading house to throw the supplies outside the mining area. After the people from the trading house evacuate, they will organize the mine protection team and official local employees to open the goalkeeper. Supplies are pulled in.

As for wanting to enter the mining area to unload?

Sorry, that's not possible!

As for the merchants who came to buy ore, such as the United Iron and Steel Group, logically speaking, they should be allowed in. After all, the United Iron and Steel Group is not a small trading company. But who can guarantee that the person who came to buy the ore must be a member of the United Steel Group, not a fake from the Freedom Front?

It is a good way to open the small door to send the ore out, but it also has great risks. If the slaves are sent, the slaves will definitely run away, but if the employees and the mine guards are sent, what if the slaves in the camp suddenly riot and the outside starts to attack? You must know that the slaves in the Brewer Bay mining area rushed out of the mine with pistols and single rifles, and they did not have enough firepower to suppress them. Once similar things happened in their camp, the mine guards would not be able to suppress them at all. The rebellion and riots of the slaves.

So, just don't sell it!

When Mr. Ander learned that the situation in the west was so serious, he immediately called the Minister of Defense of the Empire after hanging up Henry's phone, and then expressed his views and concerns about the situation in the west, and mentioned The danger of the Freedom Front to the Empire. After the Minister of Defense learned about this matter, after a cabinet conference call, he finally decided to change his strategy slightly, first to stabilize the situation outside the western cities, and then to clean up those random forces.

In the middle of the night, some cities not involved in the assassination began to withdraw their troops. Only three state capitals and four important hub cities retained military control, and the other troops scattered to the western wilderness.
