It is a characteristic of Europe to make profits from business, to support industry, to promote war, to fight with business, to move the whole body, to pull business and pull all walks of life. In the 14th century, Europe's agriculture declined, but commerce took over agriculture and developed indomitable ways.

On the surface, commerce is just a simple transaction and freight, but in fact it is much more complicated. The merchant is the organizer and operator. He wants to pay for the goods and bear all the risks in the transaction and freight process. He has to travel between regions and countries with completely different customs, legal and religious traditions, and sometimes even personal safety and cargo safety are not guaranteed.

Merchants have to face customs, local officials and governments, handle countless relevant persons, give kickbacks, organize support intelligence networks, pay bribes, analyze tariffs and industry taxes, and distinguish the quality and quality of goods. Sometimes when a certain link owes money, he has to collect debts. He has to recognize his partners, and he has to trust others and prevent being cheated.

As a result, the first business fraternity emerged. Brotherhoods are relatively rare in China, but they are everywhere abroad, including thousands of years of old fraternity and newly established fraternity. In fact, in China, with the north and south as the line, each rich have formed clubs similar to fraternity (if you are interested, you can understand it yourself, they are all big names.) The role of this fraternity is to study tariffs from various countries and the grade of product advantages and disadvantages. Many merchants joined in it. Slowly formed a set of standards applicable to various countries.

Business development has created a gap between the rich and the poor, and consortiums and chaebols have begun to appear. There is a saying that if there is 300% profit, capital will dare to trample on all laws in the world.

In the 16th century, a brotherhood called Dusk emerged with twenty members, and these twenty were the largest merchants in various European countries or industries. They also set off a colonial frenzy in the 16th century. The Dusk Brotherhood used money to bribe the powers and sent troops to obtain colonies. They monopolized resources, threatened the royal family to reduce tariffs, and opened doors. Their behavior angered a British count, who led the guards to rush into the place where they gathered and killed them all. The count was also hanged for murder.

In the 17th century, Britain took the lead in establishing a three-power system, and steam engines began to be used in industrial production, and industry and commerce became the most important lifeline of the country. At the end of the Middle Ages, the Renaissance brought people awakening. The Dusk Brotherhood made a comeback and controlled industry. The commerce began to jointly raise prices and destroy surplus goods, forming a local commercial monopoly for the first time. At that time, the Netherlands replaced Spain as the maritime overlord and was also the country with the most developed capital economy. The Netherlands used the Dusk Brotherhood to control the North Sea and the Baltic Sea area.

The commodity exchange replaced the Hanseatic League in the northern trade and became a monopoly of the distribution of grain, wood, iron, linen, leather and other commodities from Scandinavian countries and Russia. It also inherited the trade of medieval Italian merchants in the Mediterranean region and took Eastern trade in their hands. More importantly, the Dusk Brotherhood also seized control of the Portuguese over the colonial trade, which made the commercial connections between European countries and their colonies only through the Dusk Brotherhood merchants.

Although the British Earl was hanged, his title was inherited. For the sake of the strength of Britain and to fight against the Netherlands, his descendants formed a suicide squad. Because the target was the Brotherhood of Dusk, they named themselves the Brotherhood of Dawn.

After the end of the British Civil War, the expansion route was restored and the navy was vigorously developed. In 1651, legislation prohibited the Netherlands from participating in British maritime trade. The two countries fought three wars caused by trade. In the Second War, Britain was defeated and suffered heavy damage. Coupled with the plague and the London fire, a series of treaties were signed.

The Brotherhood of Dawn was also fully mature and began to hunt down members of the Brotherhood of Dusk in Europe. The Brotherhood of Dusk also hired assassins, killers, and bodyguards to deal with the Brotherhood of Dawn. The war between the two sides lasted for five years. Because the Brotherhood of Dawn was from the children of British aristocrats, they were fearless in life and death for their own interests and honors, and severely damaged the Brotherhood of Dusk. At the same time, the Third British-Dutch War broke out, the Netherlands was defeated, and Britain became the overlord of the world.

The battle between dusk and dawn came to an end temporarily. Starting from the 18th century, the Dusk Brotherhood rekindled. This time they were more hidden and strategic. They began to bribe politicians and passed bills, mainly Britain and France, and European powers launched global colonization. In particular, Britain, relying on its powerful navy, became a world supercolonial, commercial and military power in more than two centuries, and launched colonial wars around the world, bringing huge economic benefits to merchants. Merchants encouraged colonization first to plunder cotton, wool, fuel, iron, copper, tin, coal and other industrial raw materials, and later to open up new markets to digest the industrial products they made. They even developed to extinction or drive away indigenous peoples to obtain industrial development space, or to conquer and transform the society of indigenous peoples to adapt to the needs of merchants.

In the 19th century, colonial fires burned on this land of China. Two wars broke out, and the great powers, especially Russia, began to annex China's land in large quantities.

After the Parliament's request for a peace failed to stop colonial expansion, a British hospital decided to destroy the merchants who had actually controlled the right to speak in Parliament, namely the Dusk Brotherhood. The Dawn Alliance officially appeared, and most of the members of the Dawn Alliance were strangers from colonial countries such as Europe and the United States. At this time, the Dusk Brotherhood members reached the largest number of 120 people in history.

One day in the late 19th century, a group of people from dozens of colonized countries, including China, India, North Korea, New Zealand, Australia, etc., launched a raid on the members of the Dusk Brotherhood in their country. At the same time, more than 100 assassins from more than 20 countries in Europe also launched an attack on the members of the Dusk Brotherhood. Due to the sudden attack, the Dawn Alliance was fully prepared and fearless. More than 100 people of the Dusk Brotherhood were assassinated within one day, which could almost be said to be annihilated.

Due to the attack on the Brotherhood of Dusk, the attitudes of the great powers towards colonization also changed greatly. Russia continued to kill the indigenous people and annex the land, while the United States obtained compensation for the unequal treaty to build schools for the colonies, including Tsinghua University, which was established for China with the Boxer Indemnity. The British overlord began to be in turmoil and stopped colonial expansion for a time. The Dawn Alliance also suffered heavy losses, and with the official search afterwards, only one ten was left.
