Chapter 520: The First Meeting When the smell of beef and wine began to waft over Malen Town, Lin Qi had already taken more than 100 guards such as Luen and escorted ten carts to Mali City slowly.
Malen Town, a town with more than 10,000 residents, and Mali City, less than 60 miles away, is a large city with more than 300,000 permanent residents and hundreds of thousands of floating population.
Unlike the town of Mullen, where birds do not lay eggs, the city of Mari was the official trading port of the Caesar Empire facing the Gallic Empire across Lake St.
Lune.
All the legal goods and goods of the Gallic Empire would be transferred through the city of Mali to the various parts of the Caesar Empire.
Therefore, there are many chambers of commerce here, and the business is extremely developed, although it is much worse than the port city of Vias and the port of Dunrke, but it is also a small commercial hub.
Because of this, a small fleet of thirty medium-sized warships was stationed in the city of Mali, as well as 5,000 elite soldiers.
In the past few days, Lin Qi has obtained the corresponding information from Mali City.
The commander of this small fleet was a lieutenant commander of the Caesar Empire: and the commander of the 5,000 elite soldiers was a colonel of the Caesar Empire.
The two have been here for ten years, and their forces are intertwined, and they can be regarded as the real emperors of the soil near the city of Mali.
Sitting diagonally on the wheel of a big cart, Lin Qi grabbed the tail of a healthy horse pulling the cart, and constantly ripped off the tails of the horses, and deftly braided them into a small whip.
While busy with purely boring things, Lin Qi turned his head to look at the back of the convoy.
There were a few faint shadows following the convoy in the distance, although it was the sun shining in broad daylight, but unless Lin Qi had such perverted eyesight, it was impossible to detect their movements.
Lin Qi couldn't help but sneer a few times, they were all elite assassins who had stepped into the heavens one step closer, these guys' stealth skills were so powerful, no wonder Lu En didn't even notice that outsiders were mixed in on the construction site.
Less than sixty miles away, the healthy horses who pulled the cart were fat and strong, and Lu En and the others were also fast-paced, and it took less than three hours to arrive in less than sixty miles.
Lin Qi casually grabbed a roadside man and asked a few words, and then led the people to the garrison headquarters in Mali City.
It is also interesting to say that in any country or city, the garrison headquarters of different branches of the armed forces will be separated as far as they can, and they will be able to separate themselves as far as they can, showing that they will never get along with each other.
But Mali City is a complete category, the local naval command and the army command share a building, the small three-story building is not tall on the left side of the navy, the right side is the territory of the army, and the offices of the two commanders are simply together.
When Lin Qi rushed over with ten carts, the two supreme commanders of the garrison of Mali City were gathering a few staff members to gamble in the shared office.
Of course, their gambling battles will not be as bloody as Lin Qi in the Yun family, they are in a huge sand table that covers the four provinces in the northwest of the Caesar Empire to carry out military chess deductions, the two sides alternate attack and defense to determine the winner, and the bet of each game is just a gold coin for small gambling pleasure.
Lieutenant Commander Norweman, who was nearly fifty years old, frowned and moved a flag representing a thousand hoplites, then carefully pinched his fingers to calculate the situation on the sand table for a while, and waved his fist angrily.
There was no doubt that his urgent mobilization of a thousand hoplites for reinforcements of the breached line would delay the enemy's attack for a quarter of an hour at most.
In the face of the assault of 800 heavy beast cavalry, 1,000 heavy infantry is just a piece of cake.
The bet against Norwemann was Army Colonel Keruman who was only thirty-seven years old.
The tall and mighty Kairuman is in stark contrast to the short and shrewd Norwiman, but in front of Norwiman, even if Keruman is one level higher, he can only respectfully call him Norviman's son-in-law ten years ago With a reserved smile, he threw the last two military flags representing the cluster of strong archers into the battlefield, and began to completely sweep away the remnants of the defeated troops on both sides of the Norwemann, Keruman smiled in a low voice: "Father-in-law, you better go play with your ship, Army, you are really not this material" Norviman's gray beard stood up one by one, he grabbed his head that was beginning to bald, and roared angrily: "Then, this game will come to the naval battle, you command the Royal Seventh Parade Fleet of the Caesar Empire, and I command the Royal First Reorganized Fleet of the Gallic Empire."
Haha, where is the battle, well, how about Lake St.
Lune?"
Keruman rolled his eyes.
The first royal reorganized fleet of the Gallic Empire is really alive, it is one of the best heavy fleets in the entire Western Continent, with two hundred heavy warships of more than 200 meters alone, which is the core fleet of the Gallic Empire to defend against the five major bird and orc fleets.
As for the Royal Seventh Parade Fleet of the Caesar Empire, although it bears the name of the Royal Fleet, it is simply a local garrison fleet, and there are only seventy ships, all of which are small ships below medium size.
If it is in the vast sea with complicated sea conditions, Kairuman can also use guerrilla tactics to conduct harassment warfare.
But Norweman, a shameless old fellow, was going to fight a decisive battle in such a small body of water on Lake St.
Lune, and he could crush Kerumman's small, wooden ship to pieces with a single charge from a heavy battleship.
A gold coin that had just been scooped into his pocket, and Keruman was not willing to hand it over like that.
He immediately pulled up haha, and quickly moved on to another topic: "Recently, there is very interesting news, father-in-law, do you know Malen Town?"
Norwemann blinked: "I'm not interested in that poor town without a pair of underwear."
The tax collectors of Mali City, they can squeeze oil out of the sand, but they have not collected the full tax from Malen Town for several years.
Is there anything worth paying attention to in such a poor town?"
Grabbing a small wine bottle and ignoring the military order that alcohol is strictly prohibited during duty, Kairuman opened his mouth and took a hearty sip of bad wine, and then burped comfortably: "Yes, I wasn't interested in that side originally, but two days ago, I sent out a team of scouts for field reconnaissance training, and they found that there was a foreign chamber of commerce building in Malen Town. ” Norweman's eyes widened: "Is that person stupid or stupid, is there any valuable specialty in Malen Town, is there a mine, is it strategic, and he can't even find a few women who are pleasing to the eye, and he will spend too much money to go there to build a business chamber."
Slapping his forehead hard, Norwemann looked up to the sky and sighed: "Oh, such a fool, why don't you come and donate us a thirty or fifty thousand gold coins, the military budget is always not enough, you know, the gold coins sent by those old men in the military department are more than enough to feed the soldiers, but I want to add a few big guys, damn it, it always says there is no money" The annoyed Norweman slammed his fist at the sand table: "Look at the Gallic Empire on the other side, in the past three years, several of their garrison fleets have added three to ten large warships.
But what about us here, I've been stationed in Mali for fifteen years, and I haven't added a single new ship, and I haven't even paid the full amount of the annual routine maintenance."
Just as Norviman was pleading to his son-in-law and greeting the mother of the military ministers, a Navy Major and an Army Major broke into the office side by side, and replied in unison: "The second commercial officer of the Pink Lily family, the president of the Bluefin Salmon Chamber of Commerce, Achi", Lord Teggs asked to meet with you" Norviman and Kairuman glanced at each other, and the two laughed, and they hugged each other warmly, giving each other a hard punch in the chest.
Then, with the help of their staff, the two began to take care of their personal military appearance and posture as quickly as possible.
After all, when they were in the sand table just now, the two people who were arguing fiercely took off their military uniforms, and Kairuman even took off only a small undershirt, which was impossible to see at all.
So, when Lin Qi led Lu into the huge office in the middle of the top floor of the small three-story building, the well-dressed, well-looked and fierce Norviman and Keruman were standing beside the huge sand table, pointing and whispering.

On the sand table, several small ship models were swimming in the water near Malen Town, and a military flag representing the 1,000-strong infantry brigade was also firmly planted in the core of Malen Town.
The two of them didn't look at Lin Qi, but through their deduction on the sand table, a sense of killing intent came to their faces, like a big shark, trying to swallow the bluefin salmon represented by Lin Qi into their stomachs.
Lin Qi smiled, this kind of psychological tactic, when the old man Qing was in the Black Abyss Divine Prison, he had analyzed countless cases with him.
What the young man taught Lin Qi was the imperial technique of using various situations to suppress the opponent, Norweman and Kairuman were only soldiers, they were still 108,000 miles away from the realm of the emperor, and their naked threat was really lackluster for Lin Qi.
With a light cough, Lin Qi took two steps forward and saluted the two pretending commanders without hesitation.
Norviman turned around slowly, a few tenacious hairs on his smooth head were so eye-catching, he put his hands behind his back and looked at Lin Qi majestically: "It's hard for me to understand the Bluefin Salmon Chamber of Commerce, why don't you open a chamber of commerce in Mali City, but go to Maren Town" In the face of Norweman's questioning, Lin Qi had already been prepared, he smiled and nodded to Norwiman, and slowly walked to the sand table.
He planted the flags placed next to the sand table to represent the various branches of the army one by one on the city of Mali.
When there was no longer room for a single flag within the confines of Mali City, Lin Qi stopped his hand and looked at Norviman and Kailu with a smile: "Mali City is too small and too crowded to accommodate the new Chamber of Commerce.
If the two Lords can allow my Chamber of Commerce and them to engage in a large-scale armed conflict to seize territory, then I can abandon the construction work in Malen. ” Norweman's eyes froze, he touched his opponent Lin Qi's words, but there was a needle hidden in the cotton, and it was not easy to deal with
