Chapter 1582: Chapter 793: Blaze Burning City (Part 3)
“That’s right, he brought back a hundred thousand immigrants to Thacel at one go. Even if he is interested in immigration, he wouldn’t be looking at the few thousand mouths of our City of Usr. To him, the City of Usr is just a stepping stone to advance into the entire Great Valley, which is probably just the first step. Ultimately, it will turn back towards Cesk. Compared to the Golden Road flowing with gold, the Great Valley Boulevard is really lacking in allure.”
“Big Brother’s analysis is spot-on, my perspective was too narrow.”
“You need to adjust your thinking promptly. The realms of both sides are different, so the way they view things is different. Things that we treat as treasures, others may not even appreciate. In his developnt, the little things that fall through the cracks of his fingers are enough to make us earn a fortune.
The forr president of the Thousand Chief Comrce Assembly, Bede, you have all interacted with him, but do you know that a year ago, he was just a rchant with three or four horse-drawn carts running solo businesses.”
“Hiss… Big Brother, are you suggesting that the reason he beca the president of a comrce assembly is because he latched onto General Gaven’s leg?”
“Exactly, several of his turning points are related to this General. This ti, he relied on his connections to take the Koer Fleet’s ship to transport military supplies to the Eastern Region. Once this transaction succeeds, he will make another crucial step. Making more money is secondary, the most important thing is the opportunity to extend the comrcial network into the Eastern Region. I believe I don’t need to say more about what this ans.”
“A regional comrce assembly and a cross-regional one are two entirely different concepts; both risk resistance and developnt speed will be greatly enhanced.”
“This is also where this General’s prowess lies: using others’ money and strength to do his own things. I heard that in this Koer Fleet, whether it’s food or equipnt, it’s all provided by those rchants, while the transport fleet belongs to the Koer Kingdom. He hasn’t spent a single gold coin from start to finish, yet he holds absolute control rights, even making no less profit than those rchants.”
“This is the power of channels. Why does he possess those channels that neither the rchants nor the Koer Kingdom have? Only with him threading the needle can it all materialize. The sa channel power is being used now in the City of Usr. Not only have the Laiserman Witches co to him proactively, but even the Lys Sect must rely on his strength. Compared to them, our Brotherhood’s weight is probably not heavy enough.”
“What to do next doesn’t need to teach you, right?”
“Big Brother ans we should also tightly cling onto this big figure’s leg, leverage his channel power for our developnt, and seize the chance to expand?”
“In fact, we’re already doing that. The fleet we’re gathering back now is just for the opportunity to step out of the Eastern Region, isn’t it?”
“What I an is that our approach is still sowhat conservative, not just investing a part of the fleet, but mobilizing all eligible ships entirely.”
“Hiss… Big Brother, are you crazy? Doing this ans completely binding ourselves with General Gaven. If successful, we will certainly soar, breaking the long-standing predicant in the Eastern Gulf. But if we fail, it will be a catastrophe, far from being as stable as it is now.”
“You still haven’t seen through the situation. By then, it’s not about whether we want to or not, but being by the other side like today, placed on a burning rack, having no choice but to act. Instead of being passive then, it’s better to strive for initiative now.”
“Talking about this now is sowhat premature; the most important thing for us now is to get through the imdiate crisis. How about we open a bet on this war?”
“Bet on what?”
“Just bet on win or lose. If we lose, no more needs to be said. Not only will our power here suffer heavy losses, but General Gaven’s plan will also get frustrated and have to turn to Tavelan in Cesk, so there’s no point in relying on his channel power.
But if we win, he will establish a firm foothold here. Whether in the Great Valley or the Laiserman Kingdom, his influence will greatly increase, and then we can freely join his ranks, fully using his influence to develop ourselves. What do you think?”
“This isn’t a gamble; it’s a stable proposal. Let’s follow Big Brother’s suggestion.”
“I agree too.”
“Then that’s settled. However, our most important task right now is to arrange for the evacuation of the City of Usr’s citizens. You must ensure supervision; you know better than I the nature of those below. Make sure to prevent pillaging—enforce this. Starting now, they are our biggest bargaining chip for cooperation with General Gaven. Don’t let them lose their hearts entirely, or they can easily remove us from the cooperative ranks.”
“That’s hard to guarantee, especially with violence. Even we have doubts when enemies attack, let alone the citizens. I’m afraid it’s impossible to implent the plan without so coercive asures.”
“I know, so I urge you to avoid severe violence, try not to let people die, and also not provoke their united resistance. If necessary, you can make certain promises.”
“Ha… I’m afraid even if we promise, they might not believe.”
“Actually, those ordinary citizens without backgrounds are easier to deal with. The fear is the mischief by the Shadow Syndicate and the Skeleton Gang, inciting those ignorant citizens against us.”
“What we should fear most now is not them showing up, but not showing up. Don’t you think this is an opportunity?”
“Big Brother wants to declare all-out war on them? Uproot them completely, grasp the entire industry of the City of Usr single-handedly?”
