Roman Empire of Total War - Chapter 1735
Compared with Barryn’s abnormal smoothness, Bertram’s encounter was much worse; he, who was also alone, came to the door, and even if he showed his identity, he did not immediately see the Westminster Chamber of Commerce The person in charge of Bronster City.
The guard who patrolled the Westmint Chamber of Commerce at the gate of the night guard learned of Beltrham’s identity, and then stopped him outside the door, and then the captain of the guard went in and asked the person in charge of the chamber of commerce; it does not matter if it is the captain. After a full hour of inquiries, I haven’t returned, which makes it difficult for Beltrum to accept.
Once the identity was proved to be unsuccessful again, just as angry Bertram was about to start working on the guards at the door of the chamber of commerce, the captain who went in and asked for more than an hour before slowly came out.
“Head of the Beltrham Army, our chairman has please!”
“lead the way!”
If it weren’t for his own feelings that these influential guards were too cheap, Beltram might have to take a lesson and teach them; adhering to the dog’s mentality of seeing the owner, he held back his own heart. Depressed.
Beltram followed the leader of the **** all the way to the VIP room on the top floor of the chamber of commerce. To his surprise, there was more than one person in this VIP room; in addition to the two old men wearing luxurious silk robes, there were three A middle-aged man wearing a samurai costume is inside.
When I saw Beltrham coming up, an old man quickly greeted the guests and said: “Just now, the scumbag is discussing with these four friends.
Enthusiastic to the old man of Beltrum, he turned his head and scolded the guard captain on the side, saying: “What is not enough is not enough! If you delay your business, I will strip you alive, lest you discredit the Chamber of Commerce !”
“Can you blame me on this?!” In the face of the scolding of his president, the captain of the guard jumped on the spot and retorted: “Isn’t you saying that you are receiving a guest, let me do nothing to disturb you? What happened, Do you still rely on me to execute your orders?”
“You darling, dare to talk back! Lao Tzu dies to you!” The old man with demeanor grabbed a gem-studded whip hanging on the wall and whipped towards the captain’s face.
Although the captain of the **** did not fight back, he did not suffer from this whip, and he turned and ran away.
Seeing the blink of an **** captain running, the old man had to throw down the whip in his hand, and explained to Bertram with a wry smile: “Master General laughed, the child was stubborn since childhood, and there is really no way for the contempt to take him. Staying as a captain of the **** to prevent him from making trouble outside; I never thought that today, because he neglected the adults, I hope the adults will not mind.”
Whether it’s acting, or the facts are exactly what the other party said, it’s impossible for Bertram, who has to be on the job, to delve into this little matter; after a few casual words, Bertram expressed obscurely. I wanted to talk to the old man alone.
The experienced old man quickly found a leader and arranged the other four to take a rest in the guest room; without the interference of the four, it was naturally more convenient for Bertram to speak.
“Your excellency, our people have recently discovered that your chamber of commerce seems to have hoarded a large number of slaves and grain supplies in some places around Bronster. I wonder if this can happen?”
“This is indeed the case.” The old man did not hesitate to settle this matter: “Master General, you know what our Chamber of Commerce is doing, especially during the war, slaves and grain are the top priority of our Chamber of Commerce Big business.”
“Then your association will tell us conveniently, where are these slaves and grains going?”
“This…” The old man first glanced at Beltrum and hesitated for a moment before saying: “Although this does involve some of the trade secrets of our chamber of commerce, we believe that the generals will not say these trade secrets.”
“Your excellency, rest assured that all we care about is the whereabouts of these slaves and grains, and the rest of us will be kept secret.”
“Since General General has said so, the contempt will say so. The slaves you know are the prisoners of war that our chamber of commerce bought from the Kingdom of Deman. This is just their transit point, and they will soon be transported. Let’s go; grain and weapons are ordered by the Deman Kingdom from our chamber of commerce and will also be shipped in a short time.”
The old man’s explanation was reasonable, but Beltram still felt that as long as these things stayed near Bronster for a day, that would be a factor of instability; so he asked again: “How long does it take to transfer?”
“The scumbag will not know.” The old man shook his head: “The scumbag is only the head of our chamber of commerce in the Bronster area, and those responsible for transporting these slaves and grain equipment are the caravans in the other two areas. It’s not something within my purview.”
“Then we funded the slaves and the forage equipment, is it feasible?” Beltrum suggested suddenly.
“Master General, I am only the head of the branch in the Bronster area. What you have said is beyond my authority.”
“We can double the price!”
“Master General, this is really not something I can decide!”
“Three times!” Beltram directly crossed twice, increasing the price to three times the height.
“Master, don’t embarrass me, I can help you apply to your superiors, but I still feel that there is not much hope.” The old man explained in a very frank tone: “You may not understand our chamber of commerce as the largest on the mainland. With a huge chamber of commerce, reputation is the foundation of our chamber of commerce; once we lose this foundation and break through our bottom line, then we will lose our future.”
“Food and weaponry are pre-ordered by the Deman Kingdom, we can not, we only need three times the price of prisoners of war.”
“Master General, I don’t know some things without saying it, even if I know I can’t say it, because it involves the privacy and confidentiality of our Chamber of Commerce guests; but I can tell you clearly that these slaves are also reserved by others Yes, and the other party named the slaves composed of prisoners of war, so this group of slaves cannot be sold by him.”
“In this case, I won’t force you. The last question: Are the people who bought these slaves in the chaotic territory?”
“General, you can rest assured that the scumbag can assure you that the people who bought these slaves are definitely not in the territory of chaos!”
Until he walked out of the chamber of commerce, Beltram still felt that there was something wrong with him just now, but he also said where the error came from. He almost got nothing on the trip, and then returned to the barracks with a slight sigh.
