Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 7 Chapter 242: Groningen's new role

Palermo, Sicily.

A long-lost guest arrived in the Palermo Palace, which had officially become the palace of the Sicily Kingdom.

Looking at the familiar environment around him, Grogening was somewhat alienated.

He has been away for a long time on this trip. It should be said that for almost a year and a half he was neither in the Mediterranean nor Europe.

The original fair skin looked dark, and the rough marks on his hands proved the vicissitudes he experienced during this time.

However, compared with the legendary encounters experienced by his own journey, the changes in the situation in the entire Mediterranean are not inferior.

"Queen of Sicily?"

Grogening muttered to himself in a tone that seemed unbelievable, but not surprising.

Russa Kosenza is a very special one of the many women he has seen.

Groningen is not the woman who has never seen great ambitions for power, but the abilities of those women often do not match their ambitions.

So the result is that those women often suffer disastrously because of their stupidity.

But the Queen of Naples was obviously not one of those women he knew.

Of course he knew that the queen was very clever, but now he realized that he still looked down upon her.

The unification of Sicily is the dream of generations since the kingdom was divided into two.

And this is obviously not just the dream of the members of the Astamala family, at least Grognin knew that the Count of Naples, Modillo, also had such ambitions.

But it was the young queen who achieved unity.

Grogening would not believe what some people said, that the Queen would have such an achievement is purely luck.

It's as if she never believed that her brother would have the status power now because of good luck.

Although Grogning did not know that luck is also power, it was actually meaningless, but at least he knew that before Zosa Kosenza Astamala, although the Kingdom of Sicily also experienced several divisions and unification , But no one like the present, the unifier is so risky, but only succeeded in achieving this move.

This is undoubtedly a very crazy move for Grogning, especially when he heard that the newly-increasing Queen of Sicily did not even wait for the crown on her head to lead troops to invade Iberia, Grogning felt himself It may be too long to leave the Mediterranean Sea, so I feel that everything has become so strange.

Grogning is a very rational person. He actually disagrees with those art masters who promote passion. He believes that the works of those people are based entirely on the so-called spiritual movement.

In his view, this kind of pure unexpected art spark suddenly bursting out of light is very unreliable, and there is no basis for reference at all.

The success of any action relies on the careful planning and calm judgment of the executor.

So he disliked those risky actions from the bottom of his heart, just as he was willing to give up almost all the support of Alexander’s blockage and eventually abolished Amsterdam Port. He was because although the action was bold and even crazy, it was indeed a rigorous plan and Actions that can be achieved.

So when I heard that the Queen of Sicily was on an expedition to Iberia, Grogening first thought of what would be the result of the newly established Kingdom of Sicily if the expedition failed.

His investment in Sicily, or the trade union is too much. Although he has already recovered 10 times, 20 times, or even more returns of the original investment, anyone knows that his and the two Relationship, he and the rise and fall of the Kingdom of Sicily have been tightly tied together.

No one doubts that if Sicily or the Roman Principality is in danger of annihilation, he or his family will not be involved.

Anyone who is familiar with the history of the Free Trade Union will know what close relationship the Groningen surname has to the Trade Union.

Even before returning to Sicily, some of the news I heard on the road was enough to make Groningen feel that he had been completely kidnapped by the crazy brother and sister.

As for the fact that after arriving in Sicily, the more detailed circumstances made him stunned and changed at the same time, and he couldn't help but wonder whether he had some problems with his eyes.

In the past he always thought that Alexander was a rational person, and it was because of this that he would be willing to invest in him before Alexander made a fortune, because he felt that this young little lord belonged to that kind of rational person just like himself.

But now he wondered if he had looked at it in the first place, probably no more crazier than the brothers and sisters in this world.

"The throne of Castile?"

Grogning felt that Alexander really did not know how many white bread he had for a meal, although he had longed for a long time to get rid of the lowlands from the Habsburgs. However, he did not expect the Alexander Conference to compete for the throne of Castile.

As for Roman Thesia and the Austrians are struggling in Lombardy, although he is unexpectedly tough with Alexander, he can be compared to the former and not so surprising.

And after hearing about the situation in Lombardy, Grogening hardly hesitated to write such a letter to the family in the lowlands and his business partners: "Please do your trade tariffs with the Hanseatic League Appropriate adjustments, especially for transactions with Hamburg, Szczele, and Copenhagen or Malmö, which may be with the princes of the north, I need you to fully adjust the tariffs of 20% to 30%. I will try to compensate you for the losses that may be brought to you."

Such a letter naturally caused a lot of shock, even those around him, after knowing the contents of these letters, also expressed their opposition.

Grogning's answer to those people was clear.

"Of course I know what this will bring, and I am well aware of the huge amount of such a compensation, but I also know that if the Duke of Rome Thesia fails, we will get nothing."

For those who seemed to be still dissatisfied with his answer, Grogning wanted to pry open the brains of those people and tuck his answer into their heads, but in the end he could only explain it patiently:

"I don’t think anyone would be naive enough to think that we are just ordinary business partners with the Duke of Rome Thesia. Since that is the case, we should know what will happen to us when Rome Thesia fails on the battlefield. Confiscated, everyone will be ruthlessly liquidated, because we are too deeply involved with the Duke and the trade union."

"This is the war in Rome Thesia, but it is also ours. Now we only have to win this war, otherwise we will not only have nothing but even a pit."

"In addition, I have been pursuing my rights in the Lowlands all my life. Now is this a good opportunity, is it true for us or our country? The Swiss are independent, I think they did it for us A good role model, isn't it?"

Grogening's words calmed down the people who had originally opposed it. Although he still felt that it was somewhat worthless to join the war rashly, he did wake them up.

As Grogning said, many of them joined him when the trade union was first established. If the Duke of Rome Thesia fails, what awaits them is disaster.

Their wealth will undoubtedly become fat in the eyes of the winner, and no one can stop them from sharing the loot by then.

All this is enough to make those lowland merchants shut their mouths. The only thing they hope at this time is that the Duke of Rome Thesia will not fail in this war that may involve almost all of Europe.

At least don't lose so badly.

But what the businessmen did not know was that when they tried to stay out of the business until they wished to actively fund the Roman Thesia army, Grognin visited the tailor Osborne's home.

Although Osborne became a truly hot figure in Sicily because of Alexander and Sophia, he still lives in his own tailor shop in his early years.

It's just that he has rarely worked in person anymore, but has given the business to one of his favorite students.

Speaking of what many people did not think is that this student is just the second son of an ordinary family living not far from this street, Osborne fancy him just because this young man looks smart.

When Grogning came to visit, Osborne was sitting on the open-air balcony on his second floor.

From upstairs, I saw Grogning’s tailor immediately greeted him and asked him to go upstairs, and at the same time, he told the remaining apprentices that if anyone wanted to see him, he would block it.

"Dear Osborne, you now have a reputation for being famous."

"And you are proud of your wealth."

"It's okay," Grogning took a drink from the glass handed over by Osborne and nodded slightly. "Very good Cyprus wine. It's not easy to drink this now."

"It's not easy for others, but it's just a trivial thing for you," Osborne didn't pay much attention to Grogening's compliments. "I believe you can drink fine wine in the Sultan's palace as long as you need it."

Grogning smiled and did not continue to discuss this matter, he did not originally come to chat.

"Can you tell me what happened to the Grand Duchess of Wallachia?" Grogning asked Osborne carefully. "I have heard too much about her."

Speaking of which, Grogening had a strange look.

He never imagined that he was originally a Bohemian girl who used to have a good relationship with the Agri Lord at that time, but eventually became a monarch.

It even surprised and shocked him even more than Sicily.

After all, he had seen the girl's most helpless when she was helpless. At that time, if someone told him that the girl would one day become a granddaughter, he would only think it was a joke.

But all this happened before his eyes.

"The Grand Duke of Wallachia," Osborne's colleagues felt a little sighed. He thought about it but only said, "Is everything they do related to the Duke of Rome Thesia?"

Grogning paused. He wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he finally nodded and agreed.

Everything changes because of the young man. This sounds ridiculous, but what would it look like without the young man?

At least it is impossible for me to accumulate such a huge wealth now, and more importantly, even if I am rich, I will always be a businessman.

But now, Grogning believes that his influence is enough to make waves in Europe.

But because of this, he is more concerned about his relationship with Alexander.

This is the real reason why he came to visit Osborne.

Osborne apparently already guessed that Grogning's visit was not simple. After raising his glass of wine to signal, he stopped looking silently at the opposite businessman, waiting for him to speak.

Perceiving Osborne's look, Grogning grinned helplessly.

This tailor is always not in a hurry, and all his attention seems to be placed in the small world of his tailor shop, but this person seems to see everything clearly.

"So, can you tell me what happened to the Fugger family?" Grogening asked carefully. "I mean, Alexander seems to have started a business with this family again."

Realizing the slightly strange tone of Grogening when talking about the family, the tailor smiled slightly at him.

"Alexander needs someone to do things for him, I mean he also needs other partners," Osborne paused, looked at Grogening's face, and then said indifferently, "Do you think he will give up because of this?" Are you dating him?"

"I don't know," Grogening's answer made Osborne stunned. "He is different now. In fact, everything is different from before. I think I may have fallen behind him, and I even suspect One day will be his stumbling block."

Grogening said that he shook his head helplessly. He used to be so conceited that he always looked at others with a top-down vision.

Even to Alexander, he felt that he was the most competent partner.

But now he began to wonder if there was still his place beside Alexander.

He knows the Fogor family ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ that is a formidable wealth family. In addition to their extraordinary means of getting rich, they also have a huge network almost all over Europe.

Grogening speculated that Alexander might have been interested in the huge potential of the family before re-cooperating with them.

Or he did it purely to check and balance himself.

This idea made Grogning very uncomfortable, but he had to consider it seriously.

After all, his influence in the trade union is equally great. From the tough attitude that Alexander has shown now, it can be seen that this is obviously not what he hopes to see.

"Perhaps you should reconsider your relationship with Alexander," Osborne shrugged. "I mean, do you want to be only a collaborator in his business, or a member of his kingdom in the future, But no matter how you choose, I think it’s good for you to make a decision early."

Looking at the tailor sitting leisurely in the lounge chair opposite, Grogning suddenly felt that perhaps he should make more clothes.
