Commander Louis looked away from the Magic Airship disappearing into the distance and turned to Count Russell beside him with a bit of doubt.
"Sir Russell, this place is over two thousand kilometers away from the Principality of Constantine.
No matter how fast the Magic Airship is, it's impossible for them to get a reply from Xu Yi in half an hour, right?
What are those New Flyer fellows thinking? "
Count Russell was still looking in the direction the Magic Airship disappeared in, as if he wanted to keep it in his line of sight. Hearing commander Louis' question, he shook his head and said with a serious look, "The New Flyer always does strange things. Since they said that they could contact Xu Yi in half an hour, it's possible no matter how far the distance is."
"You really hold the New Flyer in high esteem."
Commander Louis gave a shrug. This deputy chief of staff Russell was known in the Kandla Empire's navy for holding the New Flyer in high esteem. It was like in his eyes, the New Flyer was simply omnipotent.
"This is a fact." Count Russell looked away and looked at commander Louis with a serious expression.
"I've seen the New Flyer create many strange things, so if you don't care about it, you'll definitely suffer a large loss."
Commander Louis gave a laugh, clearly not believing him.
But he was too lazy to argue with Russell who was only in name. After thinking about it, he asked, "Sir Russell, why do you think ….. the empire's army headquarters arranged this operation?"
Count Russell looked at him, "Why are you asking this?"
"The Kingdom of Ruhr doesn't have a navy and they don't have the ability to transport goods by sea. The only one with the ability to do this is the New Flyer.
Our operation this time, isn't it clear that we're targeting the New Flyer?
I'm very curious, the matter the empire was discussing before was how to obtain some military magic machines through cooperating with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce. Why is it that in the blink of an eye, they want to deal with the Frestech Chamber of Commerce? "
"How could I know what those important people are thinking?" Count Russell softly replied.
Seeing Count Russell's cold response, commander Louis couldn't help feeling a bit bored.
Turning to look at the twelve Magic Boats of the New Flyer that were surrounded by their ships, commander Louis couldn't help revealing a smile.
The three guard ships that the New Flyer sold to the Kandla Empire's navy far surpassed traditional wooden ships, so all the Kandla Empire's fleets wanted them.
But one, the Kandla Empire's navy had a limited budget, so it was impossible for them to buy large amounts of guard ships from the New Flyer. Two, even if they wanted to buy them, the New Flyer wouldn't give them that much. So up to this point, the Kandla Empire's navy only had the three guard ships that they bought the first time.
In front of commander Louis, there were ten guard ships and two large transport Magic Boats that countless people drooled over.
As long as the New Flyer let them search the ships, the Kandla Empire's navy would find a chance to take control of these Magic Boats and take them into their hands.
Because the one in charge of this operation was their Kandla Empire's first fleet and the first fleet was the main fleet of the empire, if nothing unexpected happened, even if not all the Magic Boats would be given to the first fleet, most of them would be given to them.
If they could get five or more guard ships and one large transport Magic Boat, commander Louis was certain that the first fleet would be much stronger.
Although Count Russell had cautiously warned commander Louis that the New Flyer's transport fleet wouldn't give in that easily, commander Louis wasn't worried at all.
Even if the guard ships of the New Flyer were strong, they couldn't break through the encirclement of over a hundred Thunder Grade Warships.
Not to mention that they had two large transport Magic Boats as burdens, so it was impossible for them to escape together.
The reason commander Louis was confident was that he was certain that the fleet of the Xinfei merchants wouldn't dare resist at all.
Even if the New Flyer had developed fast and their technology was advanced, they were only a company in the end. How could they dare fight the strongest Kandla Empire on the continent?
Thinking of this, commander Louis looked at the ten shining steel ships in the distance and couldn't help revealing a happy smile like he was looking at a treasure in his hands.
These ships, he would definitely take them!
###
Half an hour wasn't considered fast, but it wasn't considered slow either.
The sun that was hanging above them had only moved a bit to the west, but there was a black figure that was quickly approaching from the west.
After a while, this black shadow turned into a Magic Airship that was quickly flying.
Seeing the appearance of this Magic Airship, the sea that had been silent because of the confrontation between the two sides suddenly became lively.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the Magic Airship. They watched it fly over one of the large transport Magic Ships of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's fleet before slowly falling down.
Manager Aldel and his two assistants who had been waiting at the dock for the Magic Airship quickly came over. As soon as the Magic Airship's hatch opened, they couldn't wait any longer as they charged in.
A middle aged man wearing the uniform of the New Flyer guards was preparing to charge out of the Magic Airship. They were caught off guard and almost bumped into each other.
Manager Aldel was surprised and moved to the side. He found that this person was the captain of the Magic Airship, Ulysses, so he immediately asked, "How is it?
Did sir chairman reply? "
Ulysses nodded, "Yes.
We flew to the nearest communication point and contacted sir chairman through the Magic Communication Network.
After reporting the situation to sir chairman, sir chairman gave a clear order. "
"What was sir chairman's order?" Manager Aldel immediately asked.
Ulysses looked around before signaling manager Aldel with his eyes before getting off the Magic Airship.
Manager Aldel understood and followed Ulysses, entering a sealed room on the Magic Boat.
Ulysses took out a Magic Communicator from his chest and waved it at manager Aldel.
"I recorded sir chairman's order, you can listen to it yourself."
Manager Aldel nodded. He took the Magic Communicator and skillfully found the play button on it.
The New Flyer fleet sailed on the sea all year round, so it was very hard to receive orders from the high level members of the company.
Later, Akali thought of a method, which was to use the Magic Array of the Magic Communication Network. After making some improvements, it had the ability to record sound and then play it through the Magic Communicator.
This way, the orders would be clearer and harder to imitate. Moreover, as long as the Magic Airship could enter the New Flyer's Magic Communication Network, they could do this at any time.
Compared to before, when a fleet entered the endless seas, they wouldn't be able to contact the company for a long time, so there were many orders that couldn't be sent.
After manager Aldel pressed the button, there was Xu Yi's familiar voice that came from the Magic Communicator.
"Manager Aldel, I am giving you an official order as the company's chairman."
Hearing this, Manager Aldrich couldn't help but straighten his back and listen attentively.
"The Frestech Chamber of Commerce's transport fleet and guard fleet are important assets of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce that can't be separated. They represent the interests of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce, so no one or any power is allowed to invade them.
I order you to reject the unreasonable request of the Kandla Empire's navy.
If the Kandla Empire's navy tries to use force, I will give you the right to fight back or retreat. "
Hearing this, manager Aldel was stunned.
Sir chairman's meaning ….. was actually to have him ignore the request of the Kandla Empire's navy and even ….. fight back?
God above!
Was sir chairman crazy?
He actually wanted to attack the Kandla Empire's army!
Manager Aldel's lips twitched. He looked at Ulysses on the other side and found that his expression was more normal than his own.
But the strange look in his eyes showed that he didn't understand sir chairman's order.
After waiting for a while, manager Aldel found that the recording stopped and sir chairman didn't give any further orders.
"This ….. Ulysses, what do you think?" Manager Aldel turned off the Magic Communicator and hesitantly asked Ulysses this.
"Don't ask me. You are the commander of this fleet." Ulysses said.
Manager Aldel couldn't help but curse. He grabbed Ulysses' collar and stared into his eyes. He roared in a low voice, "F * ck that damn commander!
Tell me, what should we do now?
Sir chairman must be crazy. He actually wants us to attack the Kandla Empire's navy!
Doesn't he know that this is equivalent to declaring war on the Kandla Empire? "
Ulysses looked at him and coldly said, "Sir chairman of course knows this better than you."
"Then what does sir chairman want to do?
Does he really want to declare war on the Kandla Empire? "
"I don't know.
What sir chairman wants to do is not something I need to care about. I only know that sir chairman has already given the order. The only thing we need to do is to carry out this order. "
Looking at Ulysses's expressionless face, Manager Aldrich froze for a moment, then he spat hard.
This Ulysses belonged to the Chamber of Commerce's guards. He had always been taught that the chairman's orders were the most important. Arguing with Ulysses about this issue was like playing the lute to a cow.
"I ….."
Manager Aldel was about to speak again when he suddenly heard a loud noise outside the ship. It shook the small room.
Manager Aldel's face immediately changed.
"Damn, those guys from the Kandla Empire are attacking!
Why didn't they say anything first! "
Manager Aldel was about to rush out of the room, but he was stopped by Ulysses.
"What?"
"Manager Aldel, please make a decision immediately.
Should we fight back or retreat? "
Manager Aldel froze for a moment and then waved his hand, "Nonsense!
Fire at full power!
Kill those bastards from the Kandla Empire! "
