Magic Industry Empire - 1218. Chapter 1218 This must be a rebellion!
“Who’s going to tell me, what is going on?”
His Majesty Emperor Candela’s face was calm, and his tone of voice was even more stable, which looked no different from his normal state.
However, it was this normality that plunged the entire hall into a super low atmosphere.
The loyalists of the Candela Empire standing in the main hall often get along with the emperor. Of course, they know that this noble emperor behaves so normally at this time, which proves that his heart must be extremely angry at this time.
The ministers all lowered their heads, did not dare to make any movements, and even the sound of breathing was extremely low, for fear of attracting the attention of the emperor.
However, if they do not speak, it does not mean that they can really escape the past.
His Majesty the Emperor Candela’s gaze flicked across the heads of the ministers with his head down, snorted coldly, and looked at the current Prime Minister of the Candela Empire, the Grand Duke of Rostov, who is the closest to him.
“Rostov, you tell me why the bastards in the northeastern province have the courage to open fire on a mine located in the empire? Do they want to rebel?”
A strange thing passed through the eyes of the Grand Duke of Rostov.
The point of this incident is that the targets of the Northeast Province Garrison were not ordinary mines, but mines under the name of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Now, His Majesty the Emperor has deliberately ignored this point, and even assigned a garrison in the Northeast Province with the most people who intend to rebel. It can be seen that His Majesty also has scruples in his heart.
Of course, His Majesty the Emperor would never admit it, and it is naturally impossible for him, the Prime Minister, to clarify the Emperor’s thoughts in public.
After thinking about it, the Grand Duke of Rostov replied: “Your Majesty, I don’t think Duke Tim has such courage. This should be the result of the judgment of his subordinates in the Northeast Province.”
“Judge for yourself?” His Majesty Emperor Candela suddenly raised his voice. “Who gave them the power to judge for themselves? This is clearly an attempt to rebel!”
Since His Majesty the Emperor emphasized twice in a row that the Northeast Province Garrison who attacked the Magic Crystal Mine of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce intended to rebel, the loyal ministers underneath did not understand the thoughts of His Majesty the Emperor and quickly responded.
“Yes! Your Majesty, this group of soldiers directly attacked the mines in the empire without order, they must have been plotting illegally. Fortunately, they have all died in the exchange of fire with Xin. It saves the empire for another purpose. Exterminate them for wasting effort.”
The Grand Duke of Rostov glanced at the speaking speaker of the Imperial Parliament, Duke Infinard, and sneered in his heart.
The Duke of Infinard and the Governor of the Northeast Province have a close relationship with the Duke of Tim. Of course, he will try his best to help the Duke of Tim to get out of this matter.
However, His Majesty made it clear that he did not want to make this matter a big deal, and the Grand Duke of Rostov knew that it was better to reduce the matter to a smaller one, and to settle the matter as soon as possible.
Although the empire has been at odds with the New Flying Merchant Association during this period, and His Majesty has repeatedly expressed his impatience with the New Flying Merchant Association, the empire is far from the time to completely break with the New Flying Merchant Association.
If the relationship between the two parties is severely damaged or even broken because of this incident, the loss to the empire may be unbearable.
Obviously, His Majesty also knew this very well in his heart. Only then would the group of soldiers attacking the Magic Crystal Mine of the New Flying Merchant Guild be directly defined as a rebellion.
“Ah, because Speaker Fernard is right. As an imperial soldier, dare to attack without order. Regardless of the cause, it is tantamount to rebellion. I hope that your Majesty will issue an order as soon as possible to order the Northeast Province. They will conduct a thorough investigation of this matter and give an explanation to the people in the northeastern provinces.”
His Majesty Emperor Candela looked at the Grand Duke of Rostov, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
When he left office, the Grand Duke of Garbut recommended the Grand Duke of Rostov to take over as prime minister. In the past few years, he has been very suitable to his own heart. In addition to his poor ability, he is a very reassuring prime minister. Candidate.
Since His Majesty the Emperor, the Prime Minister, and the Speaker of the Speaker at the same time expressed their views, and they did not disagree, then this incident has been determined, and even if other people have any thoughts in their hearts, they can only hold them in their hearts.
Just after everyone quickly agreed on their opinions on how to deal with the matter, a house waiter hurried in.
“Your Majesty, Duke Tim has been connected.”
His Majesty the Emperor Candela exchanged glances with the Grand Duke of Rostov, and then nodded to the servant.
“Come here.”
The waiter hurriedly stepped back.
After a while, on the table in front of His Majesty the Emperor, a reddish light representing communication access lights up.
His Majesty Emperor Candela pressed the communication button, a light curtain appeared on the right side of the hall, and the magical illusion of Duke Tim appeared in the light curtain.
“Your Majesty.” Duke Tim apparently saw the situation here, and first paid a salute to Emperor Candela, and then nodded with other loyal officials.
Looking at the lifelike images of Duke Tim, and seeing the background of a certain mine behind him, Emperor Candela sighed inwardly.
Being able to allow him to talk directly with Duke Tim who is more than two thousand kilometers away from here at this moment, and even see the real-life image of Duke Tim, this is a convenience brought by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
Before changing, he just wanted to get a report from Duke Tim, and he would have to wait as long as a week later.
Now that he has enjoyed the convenience created by the new magic technology brought by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, even His Majesty Emperor Candela is unwilling to return to the backward life of the past, let alone the other citizens in the empire.
Thinking of several newspapers in the empire actually shouting to expel the New Flying Chamber of Commerce some time ago, Emperor Candela couldn’t help smiling in his heart.
It would be great if it was as simple as that.
It is simple to say that the New Flying Chamber of Commerce will be completely expelled from the Candela Empire, but it is almost impossible to do it.
The various industries of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce have already penetrated into the lives of all the people of the empire, from all walks of life in the entire empire, down to the daily lives of ordinary civilians, and they all have different degrees of connection with the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.
Even if his emperor, his Majesty, is dissatisfied because he has to worry about the New Flying Merchants Association in almost everything he does, he needs to be cautious and cautious when he wants to target the New Flying Merchants Association. How can he casually shout to expel the New Flying Merchants Association. Woolen cloth?
Thinking of this, His Majesty Emperor Candela looked at Duke Tim with more helplessness, and only a small part of it was deliberately revealing anger.
“Tim, are there any results?”
As soon as this incident occurred in the Northeast Province, the Northeast Province reported it layer by layer, and it was finally made known to the empire in just two days.
On the day of the incident, Duke Tim, the governor of the Northeast Province, set off to the site of the incident-the Baimeng Mine in the northwest corner of the Northeast Province.
It was the second day of the incident, and the mine that appeared behind Duke Tim was obviously the Baimeng mine.
“Your Majesty, according to my preliminary understanding, the cause of this incident should be new…”
“Duke Tim, isn’t the group of soldiers intending to rebel and maliciously attack the Baimeng Mine?” Duke Infinard quickly interrupted Duke Tim’s words.
Duke Tim was taken aback for a moment, then he reacted quickly, his eyes turned, he was silent for a moment, and nodded gently.
“It is indeed like what the Speaker said. According to the situation reported below, some soldiers gathered to make trouble because they were dissatisfied with the treatment in the army. I also heard that the Baimeng Mine is owned by the Xinfei Merchants Association. I think there must be a lot of money hidden here. So he decided to come here to rob. As for whether there is a willingness to rebel… I dare not determine.”
His Majesty and the important officials of the empire can of course define that group of soldiers as a rebellion at will, but as the governor of the northeast province, if the soldiers below have the intention of rebelling, he can’t escape the relationship anyway, so Tim The Duke must first shirk himself.
His Majesty the Emperor Candela frowned and glanced at the Duke of Infinard, a little dissatisfied with the close relationship between the Speaker of the Imperial Assembly and the governor of the province below.
But now is not the time to care about these things. He thought for a while and asked Duke Tim: “How about the loss of the Baimeng Mine? How did they react to this incident?”
“Losses in the mine… At present, it is estimated that 16 workers were killed, 37 workers were seriously injured, and the remaining 100 workers were slightly injured. The losses in terms of goods include…”
“What about the loss of the guards of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce?” His Majesty Emperor Candela considered Duke Tim’s words.
Hearing this question, the other important officials of the Candela Empire in the hall were shocked, their attention was more concentrated, and they stared at Duke Tim in the magical illusion.
“As for the guards of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce…” Duke Tim paused, with a weird and bitter expression on his face. “Only two guards were slightly injured, the others were not lost.”
“Oh……”
Hearing this answer, everyone in the hall let out a sigh of relief, and the expression on their faces became much more relaxed.
Even if the workers in the mine died a lot, they wouldn’t be a problem in the eyes of big people like them. They should be just ordinary civilians and nothing could happen.
But the guards of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce stationed in the mine are completely different.
First, the guards of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are regular employees of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Unlike ordinary workers who are only temporarily hired to work in the mines, it does not have a strict affiliation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
So even if the workers suffered heavy losses, they would not have much to do with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
However, if the New Flying Merchants Association’s guards lose too much, even if their guards are killed, then the New Flying Merchants Association will never let it go.
Secondly, the escort of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce represents the armed forces of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which is different from the ordinary employees of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Fighting fire with the guards of the New Flying Merchants Association, or even killing the guards of the New Flying Merchants Association’s guards, is completely equivalent to officially declaring war on the New Flying Merchants’ Association, which has a completely different meaning.
You know, the people who had previously fought with the New Flying Merchants Association paid a heavy price without exception.
Among them, the most injured was the Candela Empire twelve years ago.
However, after the relaxation, Emperor Candela and the important ministers felt a sense of humiliation in their hearts.
Since when did the great Candela empire actually become nervous because of the loss of a chamber of commerce?
