Chapter 939: The Ryan Family and Gold
Britannia Empire, Dorrond, Reign Family Mansion.
The contemporary head of the Lane family, Kong Nan Lane, is sitting in his study room, listening to the report of his eldest son, Philip Lane.
"Father, the repayment from the Britannia Empire has just arrived in Dorlond."
Philip said respectfully to his father.
"Exactly. The Britannia Empire has paid off its previous loan."
As soon as Phillip finished speaking, Kong Nan nodded:
"Hmm... I really didn't expect that the Britannia Army's 'Aurora' offensive would be so successful."
"That Su Cheng is really incredible."
"Although war costs money, if it is fought beautifully, war can become the most profitable act in the world." Kong Nan lamented, "This time the Britannia Empire robbed the Holy Hiran Empire of I’ve brought back a lot of money. I’m a little curious about how much money the Britannia Empire brought back this time.”
When Bancro came to Dorrond six months ago and requested a huge loan from the Wren family on behalf of the Britannia Empire, Kong Nan began to guess that the Britannia Empire was probably planning to rely on this huge loan. To use loans to launch foreign wars, the target is most likely the Holy Hiran Empire, which has become weak since the end of the "Overlord's Counterattack."
What happened next developed just as Kong Nan guessed.
After lending this huge sum of money to the Britannia Empire, the Britannia Empire dispatched a combined regiment composed of the Michael Knights, the Uriel Knights and the Armored Warriors to attack the Holy Spirit. The Shelan Empire launched a large-scale attack on its homeland, codenamed: Aurora.
Kong Nan is a pure businessman. From his businessman's point of view, the Britannia Empire's move is very risky.
If the war supported by loans fails, the consequences will be disastrous.
The Britannia Empire's move was no different from gambling.
Although war is always a gamble, the Britannia Empire's gamble is particularly big this time.
But-who said that the Britannia Empire now has an outstanding knight named Su Cheng.
The "Aurora" offensive, with Su Cheng as the commander-in-chief, was carried out quite beautifully. It not only inflicted heavy losses on the Holy Hiran Empire, but also looted a large amount of wealth from the territory of the Holy Hiran Empire.
Relying on Su Cheng's ability, the Britannia Empire won this bet.
Relying on this large amount of wealth stolen from the Holy Hiran Empire, the Britannia Empire directly repaid all the loans it borrowed from the Wren family with interest.
Although Kong Nan didn't know how much money the Britannia Empire had stolen from the Holy Hiran Empire this time, according to his estimation, after repaying the loan to the Renn family, the Britannia Empire should There is still a lot of money left.
Kong Nan had to sigh - once the war is fought, it will become the most profitable act in the world.
"Father."
At this time, Phillip continued.
"The Britannia Empire Central Committee not only brought the repayment, but also brought a large amount of gold."
"Gold?" Kong Nan asked doubtfully.
"Yes." Philip nodded, "The envoy from the Britannia Empire said: He came here not only to repay the loan, but also to buy things. They want to use the gold they brought Come and exchange some things with us."
After hearing the word "gold", Kong Nan's spirit immediately lifted up.
As he stood up, he said to Philip:
"Take me to see it. I want to see with my own eyes the quality of the gold they brought."
"yes."
Philip led Kong Nan toward the batch of gold brought by the central envoy of the Britannia Empire.
The gold was now piled in a warehouse in the mansion.
After walking into the warehouse, Kong Nan's eyes were pierced by the dazzling golden light.
Looking at the pile of gold as high as the hill, Kong Nan said in surprise:
"The Britannia Empire actually gave us so much gold to trade with us..."
Kong Nan, as the current head of the Lane family, a “giant businessman in mainland China”,
Naturally, he has long been used to seeing gold and other things.
Being accustomed to seeing gold, he has long developed a pair of eyes that can identify the quality of gold at a glance.
Just by looking at it, he could see that the gold brought by the central envoy of the Britannia Empire for trade had very few impurities and was of quite high quality.
"What does the Britannia Empire want to exchange with us for this gold?" Kong Nan asked Philip.
"They want to trade some iron and horses with us."
"Iron and horses?" Kong Nan exclaimed, "Using gold to exchange iron and horses with us? Do the people in the center of the Britannia Empire think they have too much gold, or do they urgently need iron and horses now? "
"Father, do we want to trade with the Britannia Empire?"
As soon as Phillip finished speaking, Kong Nan immediately said:
"Of course! Such a good deal, why don't we trade with the Britannia Empire?"
"As long as you sell some iron and horses, you can get a batch of gold of good quality. Why not?"
"Philip, you are solely responsible for this transaction with the Britannia Empire. Try to make the transaction as beautiful as possible."
"yes!"
"Well, let's go back."
After saying that, Kong Nan turned around and walked out of the warehouse.
However, at this moment, Phillip suddenly stopped him.
"Father... I have one more thing to report to you."
"What's up?"
"I just learned about this."
"In last year's 'Overlord's Counterattack', a little girl from the Michael Knights was very active and made great contributions."
"The girl's name is Alan."
"Alan?" After hearing this name, Kong Nan frowned and asked in a deep voice, "...is it that Alan?"
"I don't know." Philip shook his head, "But - it is said that Alan, who was very active in 'The King's Counterattack', is small, has short brown hair and green eyes, and has a look that is completely inconsistent with his body shape and youth. Powerful strength and martial arts skills.”
"The characteristics are completely consistent..." Kong Nan murmured, "It seems that it is indeed her... When did she go to the Michael Knights..."
"And it is said that this Alan is also the sister of Su Cheng."
"Su Cheng?" Kong Nan exclaimed, "That Su Cheng has a sister? And it's also that Alan?!"
"Father, you are not interested in that Su Cheng, so it is normal not to know that Su Cheng has a sister. It is only now that I know that Su Cheng has a sister."
When Phillip said this, he paused, and then continued in a deep voice:
"Judging from the current intelligence, it is very likely that Alan from the Michael Knights is the Alan we are familiar with."
"After leaving our Rennes family, I don't know what I went through, and I became a brother and sister with no blood relationship with that Su Cheng."
"Father, do you want to send someone to investigate carefully? See if the Alan of the Michael Knights is the Alan we are familiar with."
After hearing Phillip's question, Kong Nan began to think deeply. Chapter list of high-speed text hand-written military genius brings Zizhi Tongjian to another world
