Chapter 2568 Leader (It's Already Hot in Summer Here Today)

Ellie moved very quickly, and she came in front of Fang Zheng early the next morning.

"Have you already thought about it?"

Looking at his student in front of him, Fangzheng asked with a smile, while Ellie hesitated for a moment.

"I... I don't know, although what you said yesterday, Mr. Fangzheng, surprised me, and frankly speaking, what you said is completely different from what most people think. However, I think what you said It also makes sense, the current situation of Closbell may have to use some special means to solve the problem. So, I want to see what you plan to do, Mr. Fangzheng."

"Of course that's fine."

Fang Zheng stood up.

"Come with me, just right, we are going to a place next."

So next, Ellie followed Fangzheng to the Cross Bell News Agency in the harbor area.

"here……………?"

"A long time ago, we acquired the shares of Crossbell Communications. It can be said that this place has long been a part of Starlight Technology."

"Huh? Yes, is there such a thing? Why don't we know?"

"Because Cross Bell's stock market is unregulated -- don't look at me like that, I'm not kidding, or 'lack of regulation' is the hallmark of Cross Bell's stock market, you know what I mean? "

"………feature?"

"That's right, in the financial field, this place is actually a place outside the law. It is not governed by the financial laws of the Empire and the Republic, but has its own financial system. But this financial system lacks regulatory means, or they don't have It can be supervised by qualifications, but this is very convenient for many criminals.”

"...I still don't quite understand..."

"In simple terms, money laundering."

Fangzheng raised a finger.

"With the help of Crossbell's financial system, people from the Republic and the Empire can easily launder the black money they earn into white money, and a large part of Crossbell's prosperity is built on it. So strictly speaking Said Crossbell's financial markets are not 'lack of regulation', but deliberately 'less regulation'." |

"........."

Ellie swallowed.

"But why did you buy Crossbell News Agency?"

"It's very simple, because if you don't occupy the position of public opinion, the enemy will. It's not my style to be beaten passively. Since I have to do it, it's better to take the initiative... By the way, Ellie, you still remember me I told you yesterday, President Dita's plan?"

"...This...Of course I remember."

"I also said at the time that President Dita hoped to attack Crossbell by manipulating the cult group he secretly funded, so as to arouse the crisis awareness of Crossbell people to achieve the goal of supporting independence. Do you think his approach is Is it correct?"

"Of course not."

"So which part is wrong?"

"Woo..."

Faced with Fang Zheng's continuous inquiries, Ellie couldn't help but feel a headache --- this was simply the teacher's teasing for herself, and she still couldn't skip class.

"Of course it was to attack Cross Bell to achieve the goal."

"Almost, that's why I'm not optimistic about President Dita's plan. Only when there are no contradictions can we create conflicts, but the problem is that Crossbell itself does not lack contradictions, so President Dita's approach is simply a waste in my opinion. Strength, find something for yourself to do for nothing. For so many years in Crossbell, are there only a few people who have suffered from the Empire and the Republic? Of course it is not the case, but what can they do? You have also seen that the Crossbell Council is right There are objective constraints and subjective reasons for indifference. Even if those victims protest and oppose, it is impossible to have any influence."

Having said this, Fangzheng pointed around.

"So, they gradually kept silent, because they knew that they had nothing to gain. Just like slaves, at first, you may be angry and resist because of the rough behavior of the master towards you. But when you find out, no matter you No matter how you say it or how you do it, when no one will help you get out of the sea of ​​suffering, you will choose to give up and turn silent. But no matter how you keep silent, there is no way for what has happened to disappear completely.”

“………………………”

Ellie looked at the pedestrians on the streets around her, and listening to Fang Zheng's words, her heart went back and forth. Of course she understood what Fang Zheng meant, but Ellie didn't believe it, or rather, she didn't want to believe that so many people suffered because of it, but her grandfather was indifferent to it.

"So, Mr. Fangzheng, what are you going to do?"

"It's very simple. First of all, there must be a leader who stands up and tells his own experience. He will not be afraid of the wrath of the Empire and the Republic, nor will he shut up because of the suppression of the Closbell Council. As long as there is such a person who stands up, Then other people will also be influenced by him, so I say that the Coulois family is a group of mentally retarded, obviously there is a better way to achieve the conditions, but they insist on choosing the most stupid way."

"But...is there such a person?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Ellie also asked in confusion. According to Fang Zheng's statement, there are not many people who can meet this requirement.

"Of course there is, oh, here he is."

While talking, Fangzheng looked at the other side of the street with a smile, and Ellie followed his gaze, and was immediately taken aback.

Over there, Saint Arios, the Sword of Wind, was slowly walking over. He came to Fangzheng and bowed his head to salute him.

"Hello, Master Fangzheng."

"You're welcome, how is Shizuku?"

"Thanks to you, the child is now back to normal."

Speaking of his daughter, Arios finally smiled.

"To be honest, she was not used to it at first, but now, she can see the colors clearly, and see the sky and the earth again..."

"That's good, it's good to live as an ordinary child."

Hearing Arios' answer, Fangzheng nodded.

"Then, you are ready to accept the interview."

"yes."

Facing Fang Zheng's inquiry, Arios' expression suddenly became serious.

"I'm not going to hide anything anymore, I want to... tell the truth."

"Very well, come on."

Fangzheng turned his head, led Arios and Ellie into the news agency, and then came to a reception room, where a female reporter was already waiting. Seeing Arios, she also stood up happily, chatted with him, and then the two sides started the interview.

"Mr. Fangzheng, what are you going to do?"

Ellie stood beside her, listening to the interviews on both sides, while lowering her voice in doubt, the other party was asking.

"It's very simple. The interview with Saint Arios, the Sword of Wind. Hasn't he always been very famous in Crossbell? So Crossbell News Agency has always wanted to do an exclusive interview with him, but he himself refused. So this Once, I invited him over for an exclusive interview."

"Just...that's it?"

"Of course, we don't need to make up any lies at all, he just needs to tell the truth."

Fangzheng stared at Arios with his hands behind his back.

"That's why I say that Dita Coulois is really mentally retarded. There are enough corrupt and depraved parts under the glamorous surface of Closbell. He just needs to lift them up. But unfortunately, he I chose another way to solve the problem... Hey, it's probably because of my brain."

At this time, the interview gradually came to an end, and the female reporter flipped through the notebook in her hand and spoke again.

"Then, thank you for accepting my interview, Mr. Arios, and I have one last question to ask you. According to our investigation, you were a policeman at the Crossbell Police Department three years ago, then, What made you take off your police uniform, join a guerrilla organization, and become a guerrilla?"

"The reason..."

Speaking of this topic, Arios looked a little melancholy, but he continued to talk.

"I think you may know that three years ago, there was a transport truck explosion on the boulevard."

"Well... yes, our agency also reported on this incident at that time."

"My wife and daughter were there at the time. They were caught in the explosion. My wife lost her life and my lovely daughter lost her sight. She has been hospitalized in St. Ursla Hospital since then."

"What sad news."

Hearing this, the female reporter also bowed her head to express her condolences.

"Then, that's why you chose to leave the police station..."

"No, of course it's not that simple."

"……………Hey?"

"In fact, the explosion of the transport vehicle at that time was the result of the espionage struggle between the Empire and the Republic in Crossbell, but because the high-level members of the Crossbell Council had concerns about the Empire faction and the Republic faction, they took it for granted. The matter was suppressed, and under their pressure, the investigation of the incident by the police station came to an abrupt end. I was very disappointed with their behavior, so I chose to leave the police station and join the Guerrilla Association, becoming a A guerrilla."

"There is such a thing!?"

Hearing this, the female reporter's eyes lit up.

"This, this is really amazing news, Mr. Arios, I'm not doubting you, but...do you have any evidence to prove this?"

"There should be someone in the first search section who has the evidence, and not only the explosion of the transport vehicle three years ago, but also the airship accident in Crossbell 13 years ago. In other words, in the past few years, Because of the mutual struggle between the Empire and the Republic, Crossbell has actually suffered a lot of serious injuries, and many people have lost their relatives. However, they have not been able to wait for the truth, and everything has been "accidentally" by the Crossbell Council ' and 'accident' were suppressed."

"........."

Hearing this, Ellie gasped, and she looked at Fangzheng in surprise.

"Mr. Fangzheng, is this what you said..."

"That's right, Saint Arios, the Sword of the Wind, with his strength, he will not be afraid of the pressure from the Republic and the Empire, let alone the high-level members of the Crossbell Council, and he has a lot of power in the hearts of the citizens of Crossbell." Very high prestige...do you have any questions?"

"Yes, but he is a guerrilla. The principle of a guerrilla is that he cannot interfere in politics."

"Yeah, so he just needs to not be a guerrilla."

“……………………”

This time, facing Fangzheng's answer, Ellie was completely dumbfounded.

"Improper... a guerrilla?"

"That's right, Arios became a guerrilla, on the one hand, because he was disappointed with the current political situation of Cross Bell, and on the other hand, it was also to raise the cost of his daughter's treatment. Now, I have decided to change the entire Cross Bell Bell, his daughter's eyes have also been healed. For Arios, he has no reason to stay in the Guerrilla Association. If the Guerrilla Association wants him to apologize for this... Then Arios Oss will quit the Guerrilla Association immediately."

Having said this, the corners of Fangzheng's mouth curled up slightly.

"Now, the flames of resistance have begun to burn. Next, let's see how much the flames can light up the hearts of Crossbell people."
