What kind of country is Saxony in the eyes of the top giants of free cities?

According to Yalin's thinking, there are quite a few oil producing countries in the Middle East, like the local tyrants in the original world. They are poor and war-torn, but countless treasures are buried under the earth. However, compared with those oil producing countries in the original world, the Saxony kingdom is even more tragic. At least as long as the oil producing countries in the original world are willing to listen to the dispatch of the big countries, lose some national dignity and diplomatic independence, and rely on oil revenue, these countries have a good life. Of course, there are also several assassins who explode in China every day under the interference of a lighthouse power written as a policeman (read as a hooligan)!

The Saxony Kingdom, however, has not been able to spend money like the land of these local tyrants and oil producing countries, because it is restrained by the ogerman, not only has no technology, but also seriously lacks manpower, and even the most primary manual mining can not be formed, resulting in a vicious circle in the whole country. Even the kings of all dynasties have never improved in how to strive for national strength.

At least in Lawrence's eyes, this country in the far north is too weak. If it hadn't been for the sake of watching them block the ogue barbarians, the wealth of this country would have become the food of the three giants in the free city. Now what he has to do is to cut the largest piece of cake and become his own possession.

However, the ideal is always full, and the reality is always the backbone. During this meeting, Lawrence was closed to the Saxony kingdom

In the large conference room in the Royal Palace, the main members of the Saxony royal family, including the king, gathered here to hold a cooperation negotiation with the president of the most powerful chamber of Commerce in the free city, which will determine the future of the country. In order to keep it secret, the whole conference room has been completely demarcated and completely isolated, but no one other than the participants can hear any news from here.

"I don't understand what you mean, your majesty. Do you think the free cities and countries have less material support for your country every year?" Lawrence, wearing a pair of gold wire glasses, asked in surprise to the king.

"Mr. Lawrence, you are mistaken. After China reached a transportation agreement with the kingdom of belrama, the material reserves are not as tight as before. Now what China needs is to revitalize the national economy and restore its national strength as soon as possible."

The old king of rhodland sat at the top of the long conference table and said lukewarm, while Lawrence frowned and kept thinking about his Majesty's meaning. Just now, Lawrence has more than once tentatively proposed to obtain the mineral exploitation right of Saxony Kingdom, but the old king played a delay card to Lawrence and turned a deaf ear to Lawrence's hint, Even Lawrence's proposal to increase support for the kingdom of Saxony and open up more advanced weapons to the export of the kingdom of Saxony seemed uninterested.

Lawrence didn't think the old man in front of him didn't understand what he meant. Obviously, the other party doesn't want to sell the mining rights, and is not even interested in learning about his offer. This is really strange. Are these barbarians living in the snow going to starve with a golden mountain?

The old king cleared his throat and watched Lawrence's face change several times, Soon the King opened his mouth and said solemnly: "You know, Mr. Lawrence! Sometimes as a king, I can't just look at the immediate interests. I have to look far ahead and leave enough survival resources for our Saxon descendants. We need 'fish' but more 'fishing'! If we can't afford more support, we will run out of time. We don't just ignore future generations because we are satisfied Mr. Lawrence, I can't promise ~ your ~ items ~! "

Lawrence's eyes suddenly became sharp. The chairman of the chamber of Commerce in the free city had heard the king's implication

In the residence where the mission stayed. In today's negotiations, Lawrence, who was at an impasse, sat quietly and rested with a bad look. The maid standing in the room under a strange atmosphere dared not go out. Everyone was trying to shrink his body and tried to avoid being seen by Lawrence. Obviously, the ladies know that Mr. Lawrence is in a very bad mood today!

A moment later, Lawrence told the female assistant Keman Suzanne: "let's find out which chambers of Commerce and countries have large-scale transactions with Saxony Kingdom recently!"

"I understand, sir. Do you think Saxony has another candidate for ore mining?"

"I'm sure!" Lawrence nodded and called a maid to pour himself a glass of wine: "someone must have won the mineral exploitation right of Saxony before us. I need to know who did it!"

The middle-aged mage standing behind Lawrence thought about it. Although the mage is not a businessman, he still knows something about the business circle: "the ring of Blackstone chamber of Commerce! Croside recently bought a lot of slaves and sent them to the Saxony kingdom. It is likely that he has reached a cooperation agreement with the Saxony Kingdom."

"I know!"

Lawrence nodded and drank the wine. Now, in addition to the ring of Blackstone, Lawrence did not expect that outsiders would openly oppose him, but there is one thing that Lawrence needs to find out.

"In addition to the black ring chamber of Commerce, there are other chambers of Commerce or organizations conducting large-scale transactions with the Saxony kingdom!"

Food! The kingdom of Saxony is located in the far north. Food shortage has always plagued the country. Although the kingdom of Saxony receives food from its neighbor bellama every year, it can only meet part of the demand. The remaining food gap needs material assistance from mainland countries or purchase from free cities every year. Grain has also become a heavyweight bargaining chip for businessmen in free cities to negotiate transactions with Saxony Kingdom, but this year there has been an exception. The reason is that the continuous Blizzard has saved the Saxony kingdom from two wars, and the recent large number of slave purchases have also greatly increased the population of this country recently!

The population has increased, but the food purchase quota of Saxony kingdom in free cities has not increased. It is obvious that Saxony Kingdom has found a new food supply channel. Every possible food supply channel Lawrence could think of to Saxony could not be achieved if he thought about it carefully. Because he has been eager to get the mineral exploitation right worth nearly trillions of leans in Saxony Kingdom, Lawrence has been gradually putting pressure on Saxony kingdom with food as a chip. At the same time, he has also strictly monitored the inflow of food to this country to avoid damaging his plan. Although the kingdom of Saxony imports some grain from belrama every year, the total grain output of the kingdom of belrama can not meet the needs of the whole kingdom of Saxony, and several big businessmen who can supply grain in the free city can not supply additional grain to the kingdom of Saxony without permission. In this way, there is not much profit, and it will offend himself as the chairman of the chamber of Commerce.

It is true that croside used the small chamber of Commerce and shell chamber of commerce under the ring of Blackstone chamber of Commerce to buy a large number of slaves, but there was no large-scale purchase of grain. The holy capital and the holy see are also objects of great suspicion, especially in the western continent under the command of the holy capital. Recently, countries in the western continent have been preparing to build new commercial cities, making it clear that they want to fight against free cities. Now it is possible to win over the Saxony Kingdom as a bridgehead into the East. However, the cost of transporting grain from the west of the mainland is too high, and the ground transportation has to bear huge risks. Lawrence doesn't think that Shengdu and the countries of the west continent can be generous to this extent!

Holy See! Lawrence thought for a long time, but finally denied it. The Holy See wanted to expand its faith in the kingdom of Saxony and squeeze out the holy capital. The transportation cooperation agreement recently reached with Saxony and belrama was also completed with the assistance of the Holy See. However, if the Holy See wants to further win over the Saxony kingdom with food, as long as the Holy See shows its own signboard in the purchase of food, let alone other businessmen, Lawrence himself has to measure whether it is cost-effective to plan the gains and losses of this giant. However, although it can't stop the Vatican's purchase of food, at least we should be able to get the information of the Vatican's large-scale purchase of food, and the problem is that Lawrence didn't get any relevant information at all!

Moreover, food is not used for other commodities. As long as living creatures, whether humans or elves, need food. The amount of food has always been regarded as a measuring instrument to measure the stability of the situation on the mainland. Lawrence pays special attention to the fluctuation of grain prices caused by the good or bad harvest every year. The market price has not changed significantly this year.

"I really can't figure out who can supply food to the Saxony Palace on such a secret scale. You know, there are two concepts of supplying food to a city and a whole country. This is by no means what any small country or small businessman can do." Lawrence covered his forehead and thought for a long time, but he found any valuable clues in his eyebrows, and all the channels he could think of were denied.

"Mr. Lawrence, maybe we can investigate the transportation situation in recent years. In the transportation process of so many grains, we should use the transportation team of the chamber of Commerce to find some clues."

Kaman Suzanne put forward a proposal. Lawrence nodded and agreed. His chamber of commerce mainly monopolizes the transportation industry in the eastern continent. So much grain is transported. In the vertical and horizontal network, each other will leave some clues. However, the speed must be fast. You must dare to deal with each other before the Saxony Kingdom solves the food problem. Otherwise, you will lose a huge chip to put pressure on Saxony. More than ten years of efforts may be wasted. This is by no means the end Lawrence wants to see.

What if we can't find the origin of the problem?

Lawrence's eyes flashed a haze. I'm afraid it's too late to support the opposition. The Saxony Kingdom has been fighting with the ogue barbarians all year round. Under the threat of war and survival, the country maintains a high degree of unity, both aristocrats and civilians, even the ministers in the palace are extremely loyal to the royal family, It is impossible to support the opposition without more than ten years!

If there was another way, for a time, even Lawrence, chairman of the free city chamber of Commerce, couldn't think of a better way. (to be continued.)
