Chapter 239 [0237] Suppression

This special meeting was originally convened by Camille to discuss the issue of Zaun's new port.

As a key project in Zaun, Camille naturally couldn't help but care about the new port.

From the beginning of construction to the halfway point of construction, and then to the completion of the construction acceptance, Camille had taken a few visits to the port and took the initiative to investigate.

But during the investigation, she did not find anything abnormal.

She did find out that the dock was supported by wood, and her attitude towards this was the same as that of the Piltover Daily - a dock built with wood, isn't that nonsense?

As for the tracks prepared for Porter No. 1, although Camille saw them, she only thought they were prepared for the dock locomotive.

She even measured the data of the tracks and consulted some experts in Piltover, and came to the conclusion that "this track should be prepared for those outdated steam locomotives in Zaun."

As for Porter No. 1... This puppet was secretly assembled in the warehouse, and when it was transported, it was still in the state of rune tree wood components. Camille naturally thought it was just an ordinary building material.

The research on rune technology in Zaun was all conducted in an underground laboratory, which was heavily guarded and had many warning devices left by Calican. Even Camille could not enter without permission. From Piltover's perspective, it should be a special alchemy laboratory.

Therefore, even if Camille personally investigated the construction of Zaun New Port several times, she did not find anything special.

Until today, Zaun New Port was completed and put into use.

Although Camille did not receive an invitation, she obviously would not stick to a piece of paper at this time. When reporters swarmed in, she also came uninvited and stayed far away from the port.

Then, she saw the Siren and the Sea Serpent, the Ionian specialties that could be sold at sky-high prices in Piltover, a brand new unknown power machine, and the large amount of pure gold that Lux took out.

Camille is not a technical expert, but her eyes are no worse than those of a technical expert. The clumsy-looking machine has certain similarities with the latest products of Hextech in many places - especially the magic circuit on the Porter No. 1, which looks highly similar to the energy circuit of the latest generation of Hextech crystal products!

After realizing this, while Lux and Sarah were waiting for the car to rush to Zaun, Camille quickly returned to Piltover, found all the councilors, and convened this special meeting.

As a beneficiary and witness of the development of Hextech, Camille knows better than anyone what it means to Piltover if Zaun really masters a similar technology.

By then, Zaun will become a rival of Piltover, and the rivalry here is based on the premise of taking into account the endless wealth brought by the Sun Gate!

Therefore, Camille made a prompt decision and convened this special meeting.

The Zaun people have shown a real threat to Piltover. Perhaps we should take some more direct and tough measures!

Let's compete and suppress Zaun in all aspects except war!

Camille's attitude was very clear, but unfortunately, no councillor responded to her at the first time.

The councillors were in awe of the Gray Lady - they respected her vision and feared her methods.

But they all fell silent about Camille's idea of ​​"competing with Zaun in all aspects".

……………………

Three years ago, under the pressure of the Noxians, Camille used thunderous means to control the pro-Noxian forces in Piltover, and then strongly supported the development of Hextech, and found the second major source of income for Piltover besides the Sungate.

However, Piltover also paid a heavy price for such a quick choice - they gave up control of Zaun.

It was not a big problem. From Piltover's perspective at the time, Zaun was completely inseparable from them. Even if they let go temporarily, it would at most be like letting the kite loose. After the Noxians were done with their troubles, Zaun would still be Piltover's Zaun.

Then... Zaun changed.

This was the biggest black spot after Camille came to power. The recent open and covert struggle with Zaun was precisely to rely on Piltover's goods and economic advantages to bring Zaun under control.

In the past three years, the situation in Zaun has been turned upside down, but Camille is still full of confidence in her plan. She believes that Lux can meet the most basic living needs of the Zaun people, but she can never meet more of the Zaun people - maybe her ideals are lofty, but having ideals alone is definitely not enough.

Piltover has canals and the Sun Gate. In commercial competition, Zaun is definitely not an opponent. Maybe Lux can feed the Zaun people through land trade, but if the Zaun people want to eat well in the future, it is completely impossible.

It was precisely because of this idea that Camille opened up the communication barriers between the two cities at the time when Zaun was about to complete its first three-year plan, and launched exchanges between the two cities with Viktor's Hextech body transformation as the starting point.

This exchange was not only a competition between the two sides, but also a way for Piltover to impact the Zaun market with abundant supplies and arouse the desire of the Zaun people!

In fact, so far, part of Camille's plan has been realized.

Even though the Zauns still have no good feelings towards Piltover, this does not prevent them from envying the lives of the Piltovers.

What Camille wants is your envy - envy, but because of the lack of commercial competitiveness, it can only be in vain.

If you want to live a life like the Piltovers after eating, then you should enter the order of Piltover. For this reason, Camille is even ready to give up part of the profit to win over the upper class of Zaun.

However... the strategic cooperation between Zaun and Bilgewater has dealt her a heavy blow.

If the Zauns really have the ability to cooperate with Bilgewater, then the part of Camille's plan to create dissatisfaction in Zaun through commercial competition and always maintaining Piltover's advantage over Zaun in living standards will be completely ineffective.

Therefore, after receiving the news, Camille has been trying to bridge the differences between the new money and old money factions in the parliament, and advocated the use of Hextech in trade to consolidate Piltover's advantage in the field of maritime trade, and when Zaun enters this field, it will be completely defeated.

As long as the economy of Zaun is suppressed!

Then the dissatisfaction of the Zaun people will sooner or later be vented on the head of New Zaun!

Camille knows better than anyone the greed and dissatisfaction of human nature, and knows better than anyone that greed is endless. If you lead Zaun to eat well today, the Zaun people will want to eat better tomorrow, and if you cannot satisfy them, they will give up on you and find someone who can lead them to eat well.

Karlya's small class·Behind the jokes of Zaun:

There are many jokes in Zaun that make fun of its own lack of goods. For most Zaun people, this is just a joke. Compared with three years ago when everyone could not eat enough, now they are full but the food is not very good. This is just a well-intentioned joke-when Zaun people criticize others, they criticize themselves mercilessly.
