Have things reached this point? Lorraine Hill thought to himself.
In the past few months since she came to Hopeland, except for the first few weeks when she needed to get familiar with the situation of the Chamber of Commerce, she also had a general tour of the city, except for a few large chambers of commerce.
, other small chambers of commerce and organizations also have a certain understanding.
As an important seaport of the Verga Commercial Alliance, Hopland is also one of the top three commercial centers in the country, second only to the alliance's capital, Ubere.
Ubere is a large port in the east of the Alliance. It is the trade node between the Alliance and Rurna, and has a chartered route to the Green Empire. It is an important commercial center where the east and west sides of the continent meet.
Hopeland is located on the west side of the Alliance. Most of the trade routes leading to West Wind, Falcon, and Sanctuary converge here. In addition, there are many shipping routes to and from the Southern Islands, so there are nearly a million people gathered in just one city.
And five major chambers of commerce have their headquarters located here.
If a chamber of commerce or an organization monopolizes Hopeland, the central city on the west side of the alliance, and uses it to radiate its own influence, it can easily split the western part of the alliance and cut off the other five Xuehua countries' land access to Yubeile.
on the line and cause great damage to the integrity of the alliance.
In order to check and balance and prevent one family from becoming dominant, the Tisiphone family was placed here in the early stages of the establishment of the business alliance to compete with the established Nissos family and the Helis family. Later, after the rise of the Anemii family, the Tisiphone family was also established.
Place your headquarters here to gain additional support from Ubere.
But as the Tisiphone family grew bigger and became infested with tigers, other families were unwilling to provoke this family with a vicious reputation. Later, the Alliance Guild supported Carites and allowed him to gain a foothold in Hopeland, and
Invite Angus to join the highest level of the guild and become one of the twenty-six high-ranking members.
This is also the reason why Tisiphone has always wanted to get rid of Carites. Carites, who controls a large fleet, also possesses a large amount of military force. Although the Tisiphone family has many weapons and combatants, it has no maritime power.
He has always been inferior to Carites, who is a shipbuilder.
Before, it was just assassinations and assassinations, but now they have started to act blatantly. Aren't they afraid of the subsequent sanctions from the nine major chambers of commerce in the alliance capital?
But the Tisiphone family members are not stupid. Although Lorraine Hill did not interact much with Adeley at the banquet, she also knew that he was a very scheming person and could not have no back-up plan.
As for other countries, according to the covenant between the seven Snow Flower countries, they cannot interfere in each other's internal affairs. The threat of Green Green still hangs in everyone's mind, and there is no such big conflict among the seven countries to go to war with each other, so there is only an alliance.
There can be mutual checks and balances internally.
But no matter what, the main guild of the alliance, that is, Yubeile, will never allow Hoplaner to be integrated into one body, no matter how good [567 Chinese www.yue20.com] is said or how much is promised.
This is like a person grasping his own lifeline, which is absolutely impossible. But after all, Hopeland's side is a relatively barren west, and the comprehensive strength will definitely not be able to defeat the nine families headed by Yubeile.
Since they can't defeat him and are not afraid of Ubere's subsequent sanctions, it only means that although they can't solve the problem, they can solve the problem of the person who raised the problem, that is, something happened to Ubere. They have too much time to take care of themselves, so they won't take action again.
After clarifying his thoughts, Lorraine Hill also began to understand why Melu emphasized so seriously in the letter. After losing the restraint of the Alliance Guild, the Tisiphone family was like a wild beast being unleashed. No one knew what they would do.
What an outrageous move.
Even if he wants to hand over his property and surrender, he may not necessarily end well. Thinking about the first words Adeley said at the banquet, it may be his true thoughts at the time.
Lorraine Hill put down the letter, tapped the armrest with his fingers, and fell into deep thought. The hall was silent, and the Helis family messenger kept his head lowered, waiting nervously.
The girl blinked and checked the task progress displayed on the system. It stayed at 92%.
It was still close. She felt a little regretful in her heart. If only she had been given another half month, everything would be ready by then. It was a pity...
Now we can only take one step at a time, and at this critical moment, all tasks will be in vain.
After making up her mind, she opened her mouth and gave instructions.
"Chelsea, bring the letter paper and write back to Mellu, saying that we Carites will continue to fight side by side with Helis."
"Yes, Miss."
Hearing this, the messenger breathed a sigh of relief.
"Blake."
Lorraine Hill called on a name, and a guard captain wearing armor stood up.
"You organize the newly-built Night Guard to move the weapons from the warehouse and distribute them to everyone."
"In addition, the recently trained chamber of commerce personnel will form the second echelon, the untrained personnel will form the third echelon, and the original chamber of commerce guards will form the first echelon."
"The number of people in the first, second and third echelons are formed into teams according to 1:3:6. Let each team be formed first, and then get familiar with each other, and the old ones will lead the new ones. Some of the most basic combat common sense will be taught on the spot to prepare for the battle."
"Your will, Miss."
This outstanding new captain took the order and left. Under the guidance of Lorraine Hill, although he is now Sequence 4, he has already touched the threshold of Sequence 5. He is extremely talented, because from Sequence 4 to Sequence 5,
It is a huge threshold that many people find difficult to cross throughout their lives.
"In addition, let fly the letter eagle to tell other local branches to organize people from various places, prepare for battle, and be careful."
"If the battle inside the city fails, we will move out to sea, gather the members of the branch, and attack Hopeland again."
Lorraine Hill made the subsequent arrangements, which made everyone in the hall feel at ease, no longer panicked, and their hearts became firmer.
What people fear most is not failure, but that there is no way out or hope after failure.
"Start preparations now, launch signal fireworks, ring the bell, and strengthen defenses."
"Yes, Lady Lacey."
The people below agreed in unison, and the entire Chamber of Commerce began to operate. The Kalites Chamber of Commerce began to wake up like a sleeping giant, and tens of thousands of people began to revolve around a will.
Burning torches were lit one by one, and the teams holding torches went deep into the night like giant dragons. They began to control nearby streets, blockade areas, and set up checkpoints.
Over the city, the rising fireworks made extremely sharp whistling sounds and bloomed in the night sky, forming the shape of night flowers. These conspicuous red fireworks conveyed signals of danger and emergency.
Under the night sky, everyone in the city looked up. A figure in black robe walked out of the basement and looked at the scattered red meteors.
"Has it finally begun? This troubled world has begun."
