Steel, Guns and the Industrial Party Across the World - Chapter 635

“That’s it. Please be sure to pass on our request to Earl Greiman.”

The Marquis Joe Foster is entertaining a distinguished guest in his study.

The name of the guest was Friedrich List, and they had met several times before. At that time, Lister was still the business representative of Todd Shipping Company in the Northwest Gulf in Cape Bay, and the Foster family had business dealings with him.

But now Liszt is the official representative of Earl Paul Greiman, the most powerful lord in the Northwest Gulf, and what they are talking about is not just ordinary business.

“I will faithfully convey your intention, Lord Marquis.”

Liszt said respectfully to Foster.

Although this is not the first time, his heart is still full of infinite gratitude to Earl Graham. In the past, when he came to the Foster family’s mansion because of the business of the ship company, the person who received him was often the person in charge of the Foster family. It is rare to see Joe Foster, an ordinary man who manages some part of the business, the real owner of the house.

Only those few meetings should perhaps be called audiences.

Liszt remembered that the Duke at that time was aloof, and he was just an extremely inconspicuous little person in front of him, extremely humble.

But now, the Duke is treating him with courtesy, and he is still in his private study.

The Marquis of Foster asked with a smile: “I don’t know… what attitude does Lord Graham have towards the war that took place in the Horn Bay?”

“Attitude?” Liszt responded, “My count has sympathy for the oppressed coastal people.”

“Oh, that’s good.” The Marquis seemed quite satisfied, “If possible, would he be willing to send troops to assist in this just war?”

“Send troops? No, no, no!” Liszt shook his head like a rattle, “Earl Graham is the lord of Aldo, no matter how he is emotionally inclined, he can’t bypass the kingdom. Your lord earl The kingdom’s loyalty is unquestionable.”

“Oh, of course!” The Marquis of Foster waved his hand, “We have absolutely no intention of letting Earl Graham make any presumptuous actions. But…”

He smiled and said, “I heard that a mercenary hired by Earl Graman is stationed at Horn Bay, right on Lion’s Cape.”

“what do you mean?”

“Compared to the traditional army, mercenaries are a very flexible tool, aren’t they? Besides, I heard that the mercenaries were originally composed of people from Jiaowan. Well, we can rent this one from the count The army?”

“If Earl Graham agrees, there should be no problem. However, I am a little puzzled.”

Liszt asked with doubts: “Our mercenaries only have more than 2,000 after recruiting some new members locally. Excuse me for being rude, but the number of soldiers in the alliance army is so expensive that even 2,000 people are interested. Yet?”

“Oh, of course not.” The Marquis of Foster replied decisively, “Of course not to that extent. Although we have…some troubles recently, our treasury and manpower are abundant. It’s just…”

He smiled, “We always have to plan for the worst. I hope your mercenary group will grow stronger at that time.”

When Liszt got up to leave, Marquis Foster suddenly stopped him.

“Mr. Lister, has the Holy See contacted you?”

“As far as I know, no.”

“That’s good. Please allow me to remind you a little bit. The Angle Bay Church and Collins and other countries are extremely conservative and backward, as can be seen from the protracted witch hunt before. If they occupy the entire Angle Bay , then this piece of land will fall into a long-lasting decline, and the prosperous city will become lifeless, and I think Earl Gramain, who has always supported business, will definitely not like that kind of scene.”

Liszt nodded, “I will keep your reminder in mind, Master Foster.”

“Oh, my God! Servia, you know, I just faced Lord Marquis Foster again, and I was neither humble nor overbearing from the beginning to the end.”

As soon as he got back on the carriage, Liszt couldn’t wait to show off to Sylvia who was waiting for him inside. Although because of the lease of the lion’s corner, he has already dealt with many big figures in the Council as an envoy of the Greiman family.

But at that time, there was no beautiful woman for him to talk to.

“Really? Then you are really good, Li-S-t-big-man.”

Sevia deliberately dragged his tongue to “compliment” him.

But she immediately asked, “What’s the situation in the Angle Bay Alliance? Did the Marquis reveal anything?”

As the main force of the Protestant Army, the Angle Bay Alliance largely represents the situation of the entire Protestant National Alliance.

Liszt said: “This war will still be fought. The alliance’s family background is very strong, with both money and people.”

Although the Marquis of Foster showed pessimism to a certain extent, and was even ready to hire troops from foreign countries—this Liszt didn’t tell Sylvia, and Sylvia is not his colleague, so he can’t tell her everything. .

“Damn it!” Sylvia said angrily, “What a bunch of trash! It’s been so far~www.mtlnovel.com~ It’s almost time to pick Collins, the big peach.”

Although the attitude of the Horn Bay Alliance towards spellcasters is still unclear, as long as they can shake their fists to beat the church, Sylvia will be happy for his victory and depressed for his failure.

On the road leading to Ghosn, a large army is marching firmly.

They are the so-called Skitarii, a large army formed mainly by the inland countries of Jiaowan under the call of the Jiaowan Church, dedicated to the opposing Protestant Alliance.

At this time, the commander of this army, Webster, was riding on horseback with the army, thinking about the next battle plan in his mind.

Webster was dispatched by the Holy See to lead the Holy See troops to rescue the Chataris from the predicament, and he has rich combat experience.

After arriving at Horn Bay, he combined the army he brought with the original Skitarii to form a new Skitarii.

Someone came up on a fast horse.

“General, a new batch of ordnance supplies has arrived, please sign.”

“It’s finally here.” Webster reacted, took the parchment and quill pen handed over by the other party, and signed his name hastily.

“General!” The visitor looked at him with admiration, “Congratulations, you have won a great victory and wiped away the shame caused by the failure of the North Army in one fell swoop. Jiaowan people, I mean those pious Jiaowan Believers, they are all thanking us.”

The failure of the army on the North Route refers to the fact that the guardian army detoured through the neutral state to attack the northern coastal countries, but finally led the Duchy of Inton to suffer a disastrous defeat near Hydera.

“Thank you! But what I want to remind is.” Webster looked at, “The victory we just won relied on the large amount of ordnance. If we want to continue to win such victories, please also ask the masters in the rear Be sure to pay attention.”
