I Will Be The Crowned King

Chapter 42: Restoring the Old System

As for Mason Weizler, Anson was only half right.

He predicted that the other party would be nervous because of the exposure of the Untrustworthy Knights, but he did not expect that the reason for the other party's panic was not the exposure of the Untrustworthy Knights, but that he had been hiding this matter from his "boss" Speaker Harold , leading to a dilemma.

As a businessman, he always regards "equal treatment" as his moral bottom line; whether it is loyalty or **, as long as the price is right, there is nothing that can't be sold; the noble spirit or the beautiful body, which is more valuable should not depend on production and transportation. and cost of sales?

The same is true of gold coins, neither nobler nor more filthy; the pagans engraved the "prime" on the gold coins, which in turn is the circle of pious order.

What, you say some things are not for sale?

Oh, the ring of order is on... That's a gimmick, a packaging, a slogan, and a premium price; as long as it can be sold at a sky-high price, a fool won't let it go.

The problem is that Anson Bach didn't offer a price.

So Mason Weizler panicked.

He didn't mind at all betraying Speaker Harold and taking refuge with the garrison commander, who had obvious local backing, but there was a Rune family standing behind him; since the other party was determined to support Rune, the chairman of his chamber of commerce would definitely To be used for surgery.

On the other hand, if Harold knew that he had such a private weapon hidden in his hand, the other party's first reaction would definitely not be that he was really loyal, but how to deal with the traitor who had deceived him for many years.

Now I am in a dilemma, no matter which side I go to, the end may be doomed.

But Mason didn't plan to lie down and die like this, and he still had the last two cards in his hand... The Knights of No Letter, and the Beluga Harbor Chamber of Commerce.

The former is an armed group composed of talented people who have awakened the power of blood. Even if it has been exposed, it is still an exposed dagger, and it is still a force that cannot be underestimated in Beluga Harbor.

The latter is the whole meaning of the existence of the entire Beluga Port... Without the Beluga Port Chamber of Commerce operating from it, no amount of coal, timber, seafood and ore could be successfully acquired, transported and sold to the mainland.

It is precisely because of the monopoly on the trade of Beluga Harbor that the Weizler family has its current status; and Anson Bach seems to want not only to break this monopoly, but also to let the Miss Talia beside him completely destroy it. Replace it yourself.

This is also the most unacceptable point of Mason Weizler!

Once deprived of the monopoly of foreign trade, or even just sharing it with someone, the Weizler family's status will be gone; then Ansen Bach will not need to do anything at all, the directors of the chamber of commerce who are "loyal" to themselves He would jump up and tear himself to pieces.

In order to avoid a tragic fate, Mason intends to make a big gamble with the last two hole cards in his hand.

The excited Mason Weizler slowly raised his head, he picked up the wine glass on the table, and the mellow black rum swayed slightly in the delicate and transparent glass container.

No matter the wine pulp or the glass, they are all high-end luxury goods from the mainland, and they are no different from the ones that appear on the dining table of the high-end hotels in Clovis City; only two people can afford this kind of wine in Beluga Port, one It was him, and the other was Harold.

It was under the operation of the speaker that year that he had the monopoly of the trade in Beluga Port; but now...

"It's all you, it's all you who forced me."

With a frightened expression on his face, Mason stared at the liquor in the glass.

The next second, a full glass of fine wine was thrown out the window.

………………

"boom!"

Gently pulling the trigger, the lead bullet wrapped in the gun flame poured out of the barrel, tearing layers of gunpowder smoke, and accurately hitting the fixed chest target 50 meters away.

"The Leiden Front-loading Rifle in the 70th year of the Saint's Calendar - it has been in service for many years and is of excellent quality. It is still the weapon with the largest number of weapons in the Royal Army so far; although the range and hit rate are not very good, and the failure rate is very high; but the victory In terms of simple structure and low cost, as long as there are materials and tools, even ordinary people can make one at home."

Holding the 80% new rifle in his hand, Anson swore to Bishop Ripper.

"With the ammunition reserves currently controlled by the garrison corps, at least 500 to 2,000 militiamen equipped with this kind of rifle can be armed immediately, and they will be able to form combat effectiveness within three months at the earliest."

"As an old-fashioned front-loading rifle, the Saint 70th Leiden also has a major advantage, which is that it is very easy to modify; it is a shotgun with a thick barrel, and a rifle with a rifle, which is very convenient."

"And despite the fact that it's a weapon more than 30 years old, it still has some 'advanced technology' - the slot under the muzzle makes it easy to mount a bayonet instead of having the bayonet inserted like some older weapons do. strapped to the gun or stuck in the barrel."

"Wait until the beginning of spring to open up trade lines with the mainland, how many such arms will be available - if the steel factory of the Rune family can be successfully completed, we can also introduce assembly lines to produce Leiden rifles ourselves, relying on cheap raw materials to keep costs down, The price may even be cheaper than home.”

"For now... I plan to sell each rifle to the Faithful Alliance in the name of 'material attrition' at a 20% discount on new guns, and then calculate the actual cost. What do you think?"

"No problem, I will mobilize the believers as soon as possible to raise donations and buy these weapons."

For Anson's eloquent talk, Bishop Ripper was still very satisfied even though he could not understand half a word.

After all, the more thoughtful the other party's preparation, the more proof that he really took the matter of forming a believer's arm in mind, not just trying to fool himself.

And Anson is also very happy - the junk that accumulated in the Storm Division's arsenal finally has a good place.

"Of course, for an army, weapons and equipment are not the most important, adequate training, discipline and a sense of belonging are the top priorities; otherwise, even if you have good and cheap weapons, it is not enough to be called army."

He then changed the conversation: "The training can be provided by the storm division, but the easiest way to gain discipline and a sense of belonging is to have your own flag and uniform."

"Flags can create spiritual symbols, and uniform uniforms can create group identity and a sense of belonging, allowing these brave warriors to spontaneously maintain the Faithful Alliance; after all, colonial immigrants came from all over the world and wanted to turn them into an army. The first thing to do is to break down the barriers between them.”

"I agree." Bishop Ripper agreed, but still looked embarrassed:

"Just with the capabilities of Beluga Port, I am afraid that it will not be able to provide 2,000 identical clothes in a short period of time; not to mention that these clothes need to be prepared at least two sets for winter and summer, which would require 4,000 clothes."

"This is easy to handle. We can first reduce the size of the Faithful Alliance's army, and then organize the remaining people to form a textile factory." Anson immediately took out the perfect plan he had prepared long ago:

"Since it is a militia organization, in addition to the funding of the parliament and the spontaneous donations of believers, the Faithful Alliance must be as self-sufficient as possible and develop production."

"Our ultimate goal is to build an organization that not only protects itself, but also unites all believers; in that case, believers must see that supporting and even joining the Faithful Alliance can actually benefit them."

"The other things are still more difficult to do for the time being, so let's start with the easiest one - self-raised military uniforms and at the same time assisting the army to maintain law and order. How are you doing?"

"Very good, what a genius idea!"

Bishop Ripper's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes! I should have thought... The best way to unite the believers of the Ring of Order is to restore the oldest traditions of the church a thousand years ago!"

"Tradition...tradition?"

Anson was stunned.

"That's right! The Alliance of the Faithful in your mouth is exactly what the Church of the Dark Ages looks like!" The bishop looked very excited:

"In that old and chaotic age of division and paganism, the priests of the Ring of Order were actually very weak - they were huddled in humble churches, unable to do anything about what was going on around them."

"But did our great ancestors feel sorry for themselves and sit on the sidelines? No, they organized the refugees, cultivated wasteland around the church, instructed the villagers to build houses, and taught them how to make tools, weaving, animal husbandry, and teaching the rules of order. The Will of the Ring... Brings the war-torn land back to life!"

"Under the will of God, the blessed warriors took up the weapons forged by themselves and became the holy warriors who defended the church... just like today's Faithful Alliance!"

The excited Bishop Ripper kept shaking his hands, as if he had received an apocalypse: "You are absolutely right, the best way to reunite the divided believers is to restore the church to her original appearance... We Revive the old system!"

"It's not the one that is in the local area today...a monster that combines chaebols, academics, and warlords, is greedy for power and doesn't know how to restrain, and is thirsty for wealth!"

Anson's mouth twitched violently.

His original intention was to play down the military background of the Faithful Alliance as much as possible, and make it a place similar to a "community organization" or "club", so as to avoid the opportunity for Bishop Ripper and his ecumenical fanatics to go to extremes .

As the most important belief among immigrants from the New World, unless Anson intends to let the church intervene in the colony, as long as he intends to unite the entire colony and support the Universal Emperor, it is his only choice - after all, this is still a colony of the Clovis Kingdom, so he directly converts to the old faith. The God faction is too blatant.

Of course, it is not impossible to pretend to regret something on the day of conversion...

If possible, he even plans to turn the Faithful Alliance into a public welfare organization, closer to community committees or trade unions... But for a jihadist like Universalist, this kind of thing can only be taken one step at a time, and you can't hold too much expectations.

But Bishop Ripper was obviously concerned about this matter, and his ecstatic eyes seemed to have seen the "bright future" in Anson's blueprint: countless believers united around the Faithful Alliance, just like them in the dark ages. Unite around the church like that.

"In addition to textile factories, the Faithful Alliance also needs other small workshops to maintain self-sufficiency, and have a certain degree of economic independence, a sound donation system and a fund management model..." Anson continued:

"This is also to expand the number of participants in the Faithful Alliance. You know, we are all equal before the ring of order, and defending the faith is not only the privilege of poor believers, but the obligation of all believers."

"I totally agree!"

The excited Bishop Ruiper was quite decisive. Originally, the Pope had little interest in secular affairs, let alone the prejudice that wealth is sin. To a certain extent, he still agreed with the "adventure and exploration" of doing business: "What are you going to do? start?"

"Don't worry - building a workshop requires planning the site, purchasing raw materials from material suppliers, and preparing enough textile machines." Anson explained with a smile:

"This is a medium-term plan. If it goes well, the Faithful Alliance will be able to have its own flag and uniform in a month."

"Everything you do is done step by step, you deserve to be the inheritor of Qiuzhen Sect." Bishop Ruiper praised:

"If it is in the era of sect division, you are fully qualified to join the Truth Society led by St. Isaac with your ability!"

No, I have no interest in that underground terrorist organization... Anson complained in his heart and smiled humbly: "You are really over the top~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Sent away Bishop Ripper, Anson's smoking at the Beluga Harbor Council He smoked his pipe for a while in the room, ready to wait for Mason Weitzler to come to the door himself.

But in the end, it was his loyal chief of staff who broke in without knocking on the door, with an invitation in his hand.

"Mason Weizler invited you to a banquet tonight at his house-a small three-story courtyard in the port area." Carl threw the invitation card on the table casually:

"Just one of you."

"Just me?"

"Anyway, there is only your name on the invitation."

"Then do you think I should go?"

"That depends on what you want to do." Carl shrugged:

"Anyway, if you insist on going, you must at least bring a guard company and an extra battalion of troops, and then prepare the storm division to seal the city at any time."

Anson Bach: "...so you don't agree?"

"nonsense!"

Carl snorted coldly: "We have already killed one talented person and caught two. Do you think he invited you to the dinner party at this time, can he want to be a good person because he suddenly woke up?!"

"Definitely not." Anson agreed, but then the conversation changed:

"But what is our purpose?"

"How do I know what your purpose is..."

"Avoid too much impact on the colony caused by the Beluga riots, and at the same time cut off the economic source of the Untrustworthy Knights, and hold these traitors of the empire in our hands."

An Sen, who directly "revealed the mystery", interrupted: "What do you think is the best way?"

Carl was stunned for a moment, and after a while of silence, he spoke uncertainly:

"Then... go to a banquet?"
