Chapter 1234: Taking Chestnuts From the Fire (Part 1)

So... Virginia Alexander wants to follow Henrietta's example and carry out political reform in the country?

He originally thought that the conservative faction represented by His Majesty the Holy Emperor and the radical faction represented by Prince Sfinkel and others would end this temptation and sacrifice him as cannon fodder. The others did not expect that Captain Tang was behind this incident.

On the surface, it seems that this is to comply with the demands of the people and send independent investigators to deal with the unjust death of young people. In fact, it is to lure the radicals to take action and give His Majesty the Holy Emperor an excuse to kill Julius and Fan Xiaogang.

Those who understand the official situation of the Phoenix Empire will feel that His Majesty the Holy Emperor has shown a close side to the people, and the purpose is to use this incident as a test to find out how far the radicals have grown during the period of coma, and what kind of feelings they have for him. manner.

But in fact, things are far from that simple. Because of Captain Tang's intervention, Virginia Alexander's goal has long since changed from probing to establishing prestige, and it is also a declaration of war against the radicals.

And he himself... No matter what, there is no way to remain neutral. The reason why the woman in front of him threw two heads in front of him was to explain the letter of appointment, and it was also a disguised warning.

"I believe you know very well that without Tang Fang's help, you would have been treated as an abandoned child." Nova turned and walked outside after saying this.

Marlo Smith smiled bitterly: "It seems...the good luck of the Smith family has not been exhausted."

………………

A riot not only changed the social direction of this matter, but also changed the political direction.

The death of yellow prison guards and black prison guards is no longer the focus of public attention. The death of an independent investigator sent by His Majesty the Holy Emperor has caused a greater commotion in society. Even the people at the bottom of society can smell a trace of gunpowder from the weird situation.

At this moment, the official media of the Leben star system, where His Majesty the Holy Emperor is located, broadcast a piece of influential material, confirming that the riot in the air prison A-102 was planned by Julius and Fan Xiaogang in order to cover up the government of the Durham star system Favoritism in cases of unjust deaths of young people.

Then there was the report that Julius and Fan Xiaogang committed suicide in fear of crime on the way to escort the Leben star system. At the same time, His Majesty the Holy Emperor bypassed the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs and directly issued an edict to appoint the former deputy governor of the Durham star system, Marlo Smith. Governor of the Durham Star System, concurrently Commander of the Garrison Navy. At the same time, he himself will move to the Durham star system in the near future.

This series of news made many people very shocked while being puzzled. Some wise men hold their breath,

Prick up your ears to listen to the outside world, knowing that there will be a storm coming.

Sure enough, 3 days later, Virginia Alexander got off the wheelchair and walked to the podium to speak. He bluntly said that during the more than a year when he lost consciousness, the operation of the Phoenix Empire had gone wrong. Hegel Alexander was too aggressive when dealing with certain things. He accused Sfinkel, Lawrence and others of being the first The elders of the prince did not perform their supporting duties, so that the social situation continued to deteriorate over the past year, and there were many unjust deaths of young people.

He asked several co-princes to make a deep self-criticism, face up to their own shortcomings and mistakes, and actively correct them to ensure that similar incidents will not occur in the future.

What does it mean that the social situation deteriorated rapidly during his coma for more than a year? Could it be that when he was not in a coma, the social situation of the Phoenix Empire was that the law prevailed over the rule of man?

It's ridiculous! Old guys lie without batting an eye... Of course, this is the thinking of some elderly people who have an insight into political ugliness. Those young people who are ignorant of the world are encouraged, thinking that His Majesty's speech is a supplement to the original improvement speech, which further proves that he really wants to promote the reform of the country's political system. Many people rushed to the streets to cheer and celebrate. Many people saluted the portrait of His Majesty the Holy Emperor. They respected him from the bottom of their hearts and even burst into tears. They felt that he was really a great leader and the savior of the people of the Phoenix Empire.

They are used to a life of slavery, and are used to working on their knees, so that the slave owner weakened the whipping a little bit, and they are grateful to Dade, thinking that the slave owner is the greatest, bright, correct, benevolent, and kind person in the world.

It's still the Durham Star System, it's still the Imperial Star Engineering Academy, it's still the Office of the Student Union, and it's still the young student.

He looked at the tasks issued by the new minister and was very embarrassed. What was completely different from before was that this time his task was to post posts to intensify class conflicts, arouse civil hatred, and instigate and create mass incidents.

You must know that he used to play roles like a staunch patriot, a chicken soup boy, and a successful person who has made a lot of money through his own struggle. Now he has to do the opposite and play those who are attacked by him. Being a "loser" is really an extremely ironic result.

It's not that he can't do such a job, and of course it's not that he is upright and loyal, mighty and unyielding, and rich and honorable. But in order to complete this task, he must re-create the account and re-level to the original level, otherwise, the people who once hated him will find that the most pink and tender flower bud under the Phoenix Emperor suddenly changes the door, and become a member of the originally hated "loser" , That will definitely make many people laugh out loud.

"Minister Ayers was transferred when he said he was transferred. I don't know where he is now." The young student sighed and missed the college leader who helped him get the scholarship.

Els was transferred to the prison, of course not into the job...

Under the manipulation of the media controlled by the conservatives, the emotions of the people at the bottom of the society have been mobilized. The war sentiment towards the Star Alliance and the hatred for the Morning Star continued to decline. What everyone is most concerned about is when will His Majesty the Holy Emperor return to the capital star system? , host and guide reforms in various fields.

At this time, the official media of Durham Star System dropped a blockbuster.

It is not the reform schedule that people care about, nor the more critical reform content, but a video. Its content is chillingly sensitive.

The scene started in a conference room, and the peripheral holographic projection equipment reflected seven figures in the air, many of whom were no strangers to their identities.

There are the current Minister of Transport, the Marquess of Custer Bain; the former Minister of Defense, Prince Spire Alexander; the current Economic Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, Earl Inoue Futao; George?

Then there is Powell Lee, President of the Phoenix Empire District of the Kronstone Group; Dreyer Mansis, Branch Manager of the Phoenix Empire Branch of the Asgard Group.

The first person to speak was the current economic secretary of the Ministry of Finance, Futao Inoue: "Asgard Group's asset sale process in the Scadia star system is nearing completion. The share will be handled separately and has been transferred to a specific account of the United States of Jupiter."

George? **Marquis and Lord Delong nodded, with satisfied smiles on their faces. The 20% commission that Inoue said, that is, 240 billion United States of Jupiter legal currency, entered the account they secretly opened in the United States of Jupiter.

Asgard Group is an electronics company in the Dolanx Republic. Through collusion with the high-level Phoenix Empire, it has set up many product lines in the settlement of Morris slaves. Because Morris slaves were placed under the "care" of the government from birth to death, they did not need to pay extra wages to pay labor, but only paid taxes that satisfied magistrates.

This undoubtedly greatly reduced the labor cost of the enterprise, and many electronics companies like the Asgard Group moved their production lines to the Morris slave colony of the Phoenix Empire. Some companies even abandon highly automated manufacturing lines and choose to replace robots with outdated labor because they are too cheap.

Scattered evidence from the outside world pointed out that Virginia Alexander used test-tube baby technology to breed a large number of Morris slaves, and then through brainwashing and training, made them become humanoid labor without thinking. You must know that because of physical fitness, Morris slaves who were about ten years old It is enough to afford the work of a normal human adult, and the growth catalyst can help the young Morrison to mature quickly, just like a layer hen injected with hormones. Is there anything cheaper than this kind of labor?

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is a very cruel and inhuman thing, but to capitalists and government officials, Morris slaves are a group of biochemical robots in human skin. As long as they can create value and bring wealth, they will enough. They don't think about how the product feels.

In countries such as the Charles Federation, the Dolanx Republic, and the Star Alliance, such behavior would naturally be severely punished by the law, but in the Phoenix Empire, the will of the powerful is the expression of public law, so this place has become a paradise for power and money traders .

Until the eighth prince died under the gunfire of the Star Alliance navy, Hegel Alexander suddenly declared war on the Star Alliance. Businessmen with corporate assets in the Phoenix Empire became like ants on a hot pot, and began to find ways to withdraw their capital in order to preserve their own Wealth, to avoid the shrinking of your own wealth due to the deterioration of national relations after the expansion of the war.

In comparison, the enterprises of the United Kingdom of Dolanx and the Charles Federation were better off, and the enterprises of the Star Alliance suffered the most serious losses. The day after Hegel Alexander announced that the Phoenix Empire had entered a state of war against the Star Alliance, he rudely Nationalize the assets of the Covenant in the Phoenix Empire, and at the same time intercept foreign exchange payments. This is also an important reason why some big capitalists and chaebols in the Star Alliance do not hesitate to bear the charge of stealing from others, but also to prevent the Adam government from entering an all-out war against the Phoenix Empire.

What happened to the capitalists of the Star Alliance sounded the alarm for the capitalists of the Dolanx Republic and the Charles Federation, and they tried every means to sell the assets in their hands and exchange them for foreign exchange to withdraw.

Of course, this is not an easy task. Some small companies are okay. Large multinational companies like the Asgard Group have huge assets in the Phoenix Empire. It is impossible for ordinary local companies and consortiums to completely eat those companies. assets. Taking a step back, even if the sale is successful, it is impossible to transfer this huge sum of money easily in the face of strict foreign exchange controls.

In this case, they can only choose to sacrifice a certain amount of profits in exchange for most of the wealth withdrawal path. Ever since, the great aristocrats like George Marquis Marquis and Lord Delong who have the ability to intervene in foreign exchange behavior have become key figures, thus giving birth to the scene in front of them.

Among the dignitaries present, the economic secretary of the Ministry of Finance, Futoo Inoue, has the lowest status, but he is a powerful figure in the empire. Although he did not directly participate in the matter of opening up the escape route of foreign exchange, his brother-in-law is the one who helps Esgard Corporation and Peacock Corporation. The person who makes a match for the acquisition will receive an intermediary fee of 3 points.

1.2 trillion acquisition orders, 3 points... is 36 billion!

It is a huge amount of wealth that 99.9999% of the people in the world can't even achieve through hard work in their lifetime.

Of course, the commission equivalent to 36 billion United States of Jupiter French currency is still far from the 240 billion United States of Jupiter legal currency of George?**Marquis and Lord Deron.

The manager of the Phoenix Empire branch of the Asgard Group, Leel Mansis, was also satisfied with the result of the handling. He thanked Marquis George ** and Lord Deron for their help, and then disconnected the communication line.

Next, Inoue Erxiong turned his attention to the face of Powell Lee, the president of Kronstone Group Phoenix Empire, and frowned: "Mr. Powell, the empire is now in an extraordinary period. I hope your company can understand our difficulties. Those funds... ...wait a little longer."

Powell? Li's face was very ugly, because the money in the business account could not leave the country, and because he knew very well that what Inoue said was a lie.

What "the empire is in an extraordinary period now, I hope your company can understand our difficulties", although the remittance requested by Kronstone is more than double that of the Asgard Group, but the foreign exchange reserves of the Phoenix Empire are enough to achieve this The Phoenix Empire FCA dismissed his request, purely because someone was blocking it.

Unlike Asgard, Kronstone Group is a large multinational investment bank headquartered in Charles Federation. Like the Asgard Group, it is the first multinational economic organization to enter the Phoenix Empire, engaging in securities, trusts, funds, asset management and other related fields.

The reason why Kronstone was able to develop rapidly in the Phoenix Empire and earn huge profits was because the regional president Powell Lee fully grasped the social situation of the Phoenix Empire and the interests of powerful groups.

Many descendants of high-ranking government officials and aristocrats have stayed in the Kronstone Group. They don't even need to work, but they can get a generous salary.

PS: Don't be unhappy, there will be two updates tomorrow.
