I Will Be The Crowned King

It turns out that it is not a good idea to open a chest full of gold and gems unprepared in a dark and well-lit room.

When both of them were blinded, An Sen, who was the first to react, decisively activated his "power" and raised his hand to close the box with the help of the picture in his mind.

Carl, who was covering his eyes and screaming, was doing the same thing. He instinctively reached out to touch the box, but the problem was that he couldn't see...

So in the eyes of the little secretary who pushed the door in the next second, it became the two of them screaming loudly, and at the same time they couldn't wait to reach out and slap each other.

Of course, everything is still under control so far. After all, "little misunderstandings" like accidentally slapping each other in the face are not uncommon.

Well, if the two of them didn't touch the desk with the diamond box at the same time when they fell, and they kicked it down one by one.

When he saw more than a dozen gold bricks and gravel-like gems flying towards him amid Carl's screams and the young secretary's exclamation, some memories of his previous life suddenly appeared in Anson's mind.

In the novels or other works he has read that are "more realistic", the thieves who sneak into the vault often "can only" carry three or four standard brick-sized gold bricks at a time. A bucket is about the same.

In the past, Anson would admire the author for being so "sophisticated and rigorous", but now... If this kind of detail is considered rigorous, it means that the world in his previous life was even more fantastical than the current one.

At least, when he "sees" the golden bricks flying towards his head, he is really almost forced to activate his bloodline power.

Just when the two of them were about to die, the golden brick that collapsed happened to hit the ceiling of the roof, and the spiral-landing lamp successfully perished with most UFOs; the overturned desk also perfectly blocked Anson's directly above. , let him escape successfully.

And a certain poor chief of staff was not as lucky as him... First, he was slapped with dark eyes, then tripped over the legs of the table, and the back of his head was in close contact with the ground, and he passed out.

When I woke up, I found myself lying on the bed with gauze wrapped around my head, my eyes were a little bloodshot, my ears were ringing, my head was dizzy, and my whole body hurt as if I had been kicked and kicked. On the opposite side, Anson was still looking at himself apologetically.

For a moment, Carl really felt tired. To be the chief of staff for an excellent commander like Ansen Bach was a weight that a veteran with low level like himself could not bear.

However, as a qualified adjutant, he still did not forget his responsibilities - the most important thing is that he found that he did not lose his memory as smoothly as other people who were hit by heavy objects, so the work had to continue.

"So you don't really plan to promise Red Hand Bay to help them take down Long Lake Town - just because that guy gave you a box of diamonds?"

"This has nothing to do with diamonds." Regarding this irresponsible speculation and slander, the General Director of the garrison denies:

"I was just thinking, why can't we help them?"

"It should be why you should help them!" Carl reluctantly said:

"Because Red Hand Bay is a... friendly neighbor of Beluga Harbor?"

"Can this be considered a reason?" Carl rolled his eyes both in his heart and on his face.

"Uh, Lord Anson, that..."

The little clerk suddenly got up and raised his right hand holding the pen tremblingly: "I didn't mean to interrupt you, but I have to correct the wrong information you got from that Mr. Pete."

"In fact, Red Hand Bay is not the so-called 'friendly neighbor' of Beluga Port - both places have excellent harbors, rich seafood, rich coal and iron resources, and self-sufficient agriculture."

"But compared to Red Hand Bay and the mainland of the Empire, the distance between Beluga Port and North Port is closer, and there are ports in the three countries of the North Sea. Therefore, Beluga Port is mainly engaged in trade with the old continent, and Red Hand Bay retreats. Second, there are more frequent interactions with other colonies...strictly speaking, the two sides are actually competing."

"As for the 'legends' in his mouth... It's a pity that I haven't found any reliable written information, but there are quite a few contents in it, which are actually closer to the relationship between Long Lake Town and Beluga Port." Putting down his right hand, Alan Dawn apologized slightly.

Carl looked at the little secretary attentively, then turned his head to look at Anson without saying a word, meaning, "What else do you want to say?"

Anyway, in his opinion, this matter is meaningless to the storm division.

Putting aside the post-war suppression costs and the empire’s 100% chance to counterattack, let’s talk about the biggest achievement the Storm Division can achieve in the entire operation—the annexation of Long Lake Town, the supply of cheap livestock and beast slaves, and the acquisition of a secret Gold mine, get a large amount of indemnity, and conclude a military alliance with Red Hand Bay.

No matter how you look at it, you've made a profit, right? But that's not the case at all!

First of all, Long Lake Town is an imperial colony, and it is closer to Red Hand Bay than Beluga Port; once it is controlled by Clovis's army, there will definitely be a large number of refugees, especially the rich fleeing to Red Hand Bay. Good assets shrink by one-third, and bad luck may cost more than half!

Of course, it is not necessarily a bad thing for the rich to flee, and it also reduces the cost of **** to some extent; then, will Beluga Port be able to obtain cheap livestock and animal slaves?

How is that possible—the Stormtroopers have officially started a war against the Empire’s colonies, and they still expect the Empire to be able to do business with the people who beat them while being beaten? !

So there is no need to count on cheap livestock and beast slaves, as much as they can grab, and the originally planned livestock trade is completely out of the question.

The military alliance with Red Hand Bay... Among all the benefits that the Storm Division can get from this battle, only this is an absolute negative asset; after all, if the Red Hand Bay is strong or has many allies, they need to ask a Clovis. Colony asking for help?

As for the most eye-catching, the legendary secret gold mine... Not to mention whether it really exists or not, assuming that Longhu Town can really conceal that the Emperor and the Church of Order control a gold mine, it can have any effect on the Stormmaster. How much is it worth?

money? The new world is full of coal and iron deposits and rare timber, each of which is valuable enough; it is worth taking the risk of being discovered by the church and the royal family and then forcibly confiscated, to **** a gold that does not know whether it exists or not, and how much gold can be produced even if it exists. mine?

In the end, Long Lake Town has the largest amount of arms among all the imperial colonies, and most of them have their own small arms factories; considering that Red Hand Bay has repeatedly emphasized their weak strength, the so-called "two breads", and finally very It may be that the storm division is unilaterally shopping, and Red Hand Bay is waving the flag behind.

Thinking about it again, Changhu Town is closer to Red Hand Bay than Beluga Harbor. Is it possible for the other party to take advantage of the chance of a decisive battle between the Storm Division and the main force of Changhu Town and sneak a step from behind...

Carl Bain doesn't know whether Red Hand Bay can do this kind of thing. Anyway, if it's himself or a certain commander-in-chief, there is absolutely no pressure.

Looking at the chief of staff who couldn't wait to ask questions, the commander-in-chief sighed softly.

"Okay, then let me put it another way." Anson sat up slightly, resting his chin in his hands, and looked at Carl:

"What do you think will happen if we don't intervene?"

Don't intervene?

Carl frowned slightly: "Red Hand Bay will definitely not be able to defeat Changhu Town, and they will definitely not take the initiative to seek death without reinforcements, but Changhu Town will not take the initiative to attack; the empire has 20,000 to 30,000 troops, and one colony is suppressed by one colony. Countering the rebellion...about two or three years?"

"Yes, I also think it will take at least two or three years." An Sen nodded in agreement: "In two or three years, what will the New World look like?"

"The empire's colonies have been severely damaged, and their population wealth has plummeted?" Carl said subconsciously.

"And is this a good thing?" Anson asked rhetorically.

"...Isn't it?"

"Certainly not!"

With a "Bang!" Anson tapped the table with his knuckles: "The mainland is now hungry for raw materials, and we want the royal family, the Privy Council and the Army to turn a blind eye to whatever we do in Beluga Harbor, then It has to be guaranteed that the supply of raw materials will only increase every year, and it has to be cheaper by the day.”

"We want cheaper and more abundant raw materials locally. We want to build a steel plant in Beluga Port, develop manufacturing, expand trade, and introduce banks to engage in the financial industry, so that everyone can earn more than in Hantu - this is I promised before I came."

"Have you found the problem? If the empire's strength is severely damaged after this battle, and the population has plummeted, where will I get the raw materials to supply the mainland, and who will I sell the imported manufactured goods and luxury goods to?"

"So you intervened in Changhu Town to prevent the empire's colonies from being unable to earn money due to the long-term war, resulting in a sharp drop in trade volume?" The chief of staff thought for half a minute and said in disbelief.

"You... uh... you're almost at the point." The corners of An Sen's mouth twitched slightly:

"Simply put, when I met the negotiators in Red Hand Bay, I came up with a complete plan; this plan has two goals in total: First, the vitality of the New World colony must be preserved, no matter who it belongs to temporarily."

"Secondly, let the empire realize that continuing to interfere in the colonies is not worth the loss, and give up on its own initiative; or let the royal family or the Privy Council realize that this matter is very important, and at the worst, send us reinforcements, otherwise we will not be able to win."

"In this way, regardless of whether the colonies in the last New World are still imperial or simply independent, Beluga Port can keep the market and more sources of raw materials, and the empires that are pinned down by the war in the Old World will not have any spare power to interfere with the colonies. We still have Gotta make money."

This is indeed in the interests of the storm division... Carl nodded slightly: "So to do this, we have to form an alliance with Red Hand Bay?"

"Yes...no." Anson said softly:

"To do this, we have to ally with all the rebel imperial colonies - including Red Hand Bay."

"all?!"

Carl was stunned.

He originally thought that an alliance with a Red Hand Bay would be an exaggeration, and this guy also intends to pull all the rebel colonies!

"Yes, and if there is a chance, we may have to try to see if we can also bring in the colonies of the Three Kingdoms of the North Sea." An Sen added:

"I said, this plan is very complete - it contains all the steps to achieve our desired goal, and the next actions of the Storm Division must comply with a certain link of these steps to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"And accepting Red Hand Bay's request for help is the first step in the whole plan."

Anson said, took out his pipe and struck it with a match, then took out the cigarette case and handed it to his chief of staff.

"Understood."

Subconsciously took the cigarette case, Carl ordered one for himself with a dazed expression: "Longhu Town is just a name card, you plan to use it to win over those four colonies, and show off your force to future allies by the way... Yes Bar?"

"I can't say that completely, I actually really hope that the 'secret gold mine' is real." Anson chuckled:

"If you can really control a mine, in the future, whether it is a private bank or attracting the Royal Bank to settle in, you will be more confident when negotiating."

Karnu Nuzui, of course he knows what Anson means - it doesn't matter if there is a gold mine, but the fact that "there is a secret gold mine in Changhu Town" itself is a very useful gimmick to attract foreign investment.

"So you already have a plan, why did you bring me here?"

Carl, who was smoking a cigarette, looked bewildered.

"The plan is already in place, but you also know that this plan actually sounds very risky, and there are many places that cannot be known to everyone for the time being." An Sen's face suddenly showed both happiness and dissatisfaction at the same time. Kind expression:

"But for something so important, everyone must agree."

Um? !

Carl raised his head alertly. In his memory, whenever Anson showed such an expression, he wanted to...

"I need you to help me persuade others—of course, without revealing the plan."

"why me?!"

"Because the first thing that came to my mind was you~www.wuxiaspot.com~Major Carl Bain, a loyal and hard-working good deputy... Chief of Staff!"

An Sen said seriously: "I don't think you are the one for such a daunting task."

"...You haven't considered that you're a good fit for yourself?"

"I thought about it, but I can't—I don't have time."

Anson shook his head, his face full of "regret": "In addition to continuing to improve my perfect plan, I have to further negotiate with Red Hand Bay, and try to persuade the Beluga Harbor Council - this is comparable to persuading the storm division. Much more difficult."

"Yes, why do I think this is the easiest?"

Carl pouted. He didn't think that the congressmen would dare to stand up and resist - unless they wanted to be blasted into the sky by 68-pound naval guns.

"Stop talking nonsense, are you going to do it?"

"No problem, but I have one condition."

"Say!"

"No, you have to promise me first, and then I'll tell you what it is after you succeed."

"...a blank check?"

"Well, and it's the kind of zeros that I want to fill in."

"……make a deal!"
