Nine Hundred and Ninety Nothing Left
Looking at Medias who didn't look back, a group of businessmen and rich people looked at each other in blank dismay. In the end, a somewhat annoyed rich man broke the silence: "Let me just say it! I can't explain these things to this group of soldiers!"
"That's not what you said before. You said you had friendship with General Michael, but he didn't dare to fart?" Another businessman beside him mocked.
"General Michael is just a major general, how can he influence the orders of the marshal?" Mentioning this general Michael, the group of people also became angry.
General Michael contacted them before and took a lot of benefits from them, saying that he could help them get ahead and influence the military's attitude towards demons.
As a result, after taking the money, this guy was transferred back to the Magic Continent. I heard that he was directly transferred to the 9th Army Group's station, a barren land further west than the Greckon District...
That is a place that is not easy to check, and this distance makes people speechless. It's not clear whether this was a coincidence or intentional.
Some people think that the military found out about General Michael's corruption and sent him to a remote area to be punished.
There are also some people who think that General Michael defrauded the money himself, and then ran away with the money.
Of course, some people speculated that it might be that the military deliberately arranged for such a person to extort a huge sum of money from them, and then deliberately transferred General Michael to calm down the incident.
In short, no matter what the reason is, it is a fact that General Michael took the money but failed to fulfill his promise. This made the merchants and wealthy people present very hurt and even more angry!
"This Wagron is too ignorant of current affairs! I want to donate to the military every year!" The businessman who first proposed to find this Wagron complained.
"Why don't you say it in person?" The little nobleman who also took the money, but was in vain, said sarcastically.
"You..." The person being ridiculed couldn't hold back anymore, and wanted to step forward to escalate the verbal dispute. The rich man who satirized him was not to be outdone, and raised his fat fist.
"Okay! That's enough!" The leader, a fat man covered in jewels and rings, scolded, and then said, "I'm worried, the last words of General Medias... If anyone suspects that we have anything to do with the demons Improper contacts, we really won't be able to explain clearly..."
"Isn't it... a big hat is put down, it is said that we are collaborating with the enemy and treason, and when the time comes, it will be light to hang..."
bring up this matter,
Everyone is a little secretive. Most of them are well aware that they are just greedy for money and want to squeeze more profits.
It's absolutely unbearable and unnecessary to collude with the devil. They are the stronger side now, how could they be deceived by the other party in just a few words?
But, can I guarantee that I won't flirt with the devil, can I guarantee that everyone else present is not stupid?
What if something really happened to the brain, and there was really some unexplainable crap with the devil... At that time, the innocent people who hugged each other to keep warm would not be able to explain clearly with their mouths all over their bodies!
Therefore, the way everyone looks at each other now has changed a little bit, with a little more guard and distrust.
"First of all, after returning home, I will keep an eye on those stupid people in my family, as well as those sons and nephews who only know how to eat, drink, have fun and make trouble! Don't cause me any trouble!" The fat man shook his wrist on the gold watch, opened his mouth to order.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes..." A group of people quickly echoed.
"Second! I will let my boss put some pressure on the top management of the Ministry of Commerce. In short, let's make things bigger. No matter how tyrannical the military is, it can't cover the sky with one hand. What if His Majesty the Emperor is on our side? ?” The fat man continued.
"That's right! We all follow your arrangement!" A group of people continued to echo.
"Third! Find a way to use the power of each family. It's best to transfer this Vagron back to Alan Siris! With him here, the tough attitude towards demons is probably irreversible! It's best to change to a gentle one." To be sent to the stage...even if everyone contributes money together, it will be fine for a new marshal!"
"That's right! It's still your thoughtfulness! If you think of a way, we all support it!" A group of people nodded in agreement.
"Then I will account for 40% of our previous cooperation! How about it?" The fat man was triumphant, feeling that the whole world was under his control.
"Hahahaha! You really know how to joke." Several people talked about him from left to right.
"Yo...it's a really good day today." There were still a few of them facing the sky.
"Brother, I heard that your family has two red line fish?" Half of the remaining people chatted about the pets at home.
The other half talked about the recently popular Wenwan: "Hey! These two walnuts in my brother's hand are of good quality."
"..." The fat man in the lead felt very tired, the whole world that was still in his hands just now suddenly had nothing left...
...
In the Magic Continent, Serris City, the capital of the Ireland Hill Empire, a senior official from the commercial department, holding a stack of documents, hurried up the marble steps that were as clean as a mirror with a dignified expression.
This place is not accessible to ordinary people. You can tell from the state of the guards at the door that this place is definitely the most powerful department of the Alan Hill Empire.
Yes, this is the cabinet of the Alan Hill Empire. It is the highest administrative department of the Alan Hill Empire besides the palace, and it is also the office of the prime minister of the empire.
Looking up at the plaque at the door, the official from the Ministry of Commerce swallowed a mouthful of saliva, as if to embolden himself, and after adjusting his mentality, he raised his leg and walked in.
Passed through the magnificent hall, walked up the stairs made of white marble, and came to the most luxurious office on the second floor.
The side of the long corridor is filled with various works of art. These works of art were donated to the empire by the Longtate family and are allowed to be permanently placed in this hall.
"Hello." A female secretary holding a document greeted politely as she passed by, with a sweet smile on her face.
Everyone who can work here is the elite of the empire, and everyone is facing each colleague with the best appearance.
Because in such an excellent environment, even the slightest mistake will affect one's future. Everyone is very cautious and unwilling to waste hard-won opportunities easily.
If you can work here for three years, you will have a great chance to make a fortune. Or be sent down to a local area to be a consul in charge of one side, or become a preparatory secretary for a high-ranking official. These are all promotions that affect a lifetime.
"..." Nodding unnaturally, it can be regarded as coping with the other party. The official of the business department, who was holding a stack of documents, wiped the sweat from his forehead lightly, and continued to walk towards the tense office.
Although it is already January, the temperature outside is still below zero, but it is still warm like spring, and sweat is still oozing from the forehead...
This is the prime minister's office of the Alan Hill Empire, and this is the office of the most trusted minister of His Majesty the Emperor.
Walking in front of the heavy gate engraved with the dragon-slaying anti-aircraft gun relief of Falling Dragon City, two guards knocked on the gate for him. After getting permission, two guards opened the door for him, one on the left and one on the right.
Des sat behind that exaggerated desk that was bigger than a normal bed, took off his short-sighted glasses, squinted his eyes, his fair face was full of youthful breath.
He is only less than 30 years old, and he is still in his prime. As an imperial prime minister, he is still too young, and even as a rich man, his age makes him look a little immature.
However, no one dared to underestimate this young man. With his blond hair and handsome face, it is impossible to ignore the fact that he is already the prime minister of the most powerful empire in the world.
The graves of those who disrespected him are three feet high, and the ashes of the relatives of the Longtate family who underestimated him have already been blown into the wind...
He took off his glasses, looked at the person, nodded slightly and said, "My time is precious, and I only give you 5 minutes to report... If there is anything important, talk about it as soon as possible."
This is already a very polite way of saying that he was able to meet the other party in person, which is already an approachable performance.
"My lord! This is a petition jointly submitted by the chairman of the South Group, the chairman of the Wallawo Local Enterprise Federation and others..." The official quickly lowered his head and reported: "They hope to meet His Majesty, State their views on the recent series of events in the Demon Realm to His Majesty."
"The Demon Realm? You mean the Mark incident? I've heard about it, and I don't think there's anything wrong with what Marshal Wagron did."
"My lord...the speed of the development of the demon world has been reduced by 35% compared to the previous estimate...this situation is caused by not accepting the surrender of demons..." He glanced at Des from the corner of his eye, and found that the other party It didn't stop him from saying this, so he continued to say: "The reduction in the number of demon workers has directly led to a reduction in the speed of economic development..."
"At the last meeting, I made it very clear to Kreutz, who is in charge of the economy. In order to sanction the devil, it is His Majesty's permission to appropriately relax the requirements for the speed of economic development." Des said disapprovingly.
In fact, he and many great nobles have already followed Chris and transferred the industry to a more advanced direction.
For example, the Longtate family, their main business, or the main source of income, has been transferred to new energy, automobiles, ships, rocket manufacturing, electronic communications, etc.
In the development of the universe, the Longtate family represented by Des, as well as some other great nobles, have set their sights on the future and the development of new planets.
