Chapter 1235: Taking Chestnuts From the Fire (Part 2)

This made the Kronstone Group and the powerful group of the Phoenix Empire closely integrated, forming a power-money transaction that was far more amazing than the Asgard Group, and made Kronstone a huge profit.

On the other hand, because it is a banking enterprise, on the basis of normal business activities, it also secretly provides money laundering and property transfer services for the dignitaries of the Phoenix Empire.

Although the Phoenix Empire is an imperial country, with nobles and officials standing at the top of the pyramid, their sense of security is not high. They are worried about being defeated in the power struggle and fearing the hatred from the people. The chaos in the Lember region especially aggravated their panic.

Whether it is based on the consideration of rational allocation of assets, or the consideration of leaving a way out for themselves, or worrying about the depreciation of the national currency and the shrinking of wealth, more and more powerful and rich people choose to transfer their money out. But where to go? Star Alliance, Charles Federation, Silver Eagles? Or Sulu Empire and Sauron Empire?

In the current situation where the Hillenburg region is in chaos and the international financial market is severely damaged, it is obviously not a good choice to store money in the countries in the Hillenburg region, so the Kronstone Group has become a powerful group connected to the Phoenix Empire. Bridge to the United States of Jupiter.

Due to historical reasons, the United States of Jupiter is much more hostile to the Phoenix Empire than authoritarian countries such as the Mongya Empire and the Sulu Empire. Any funds and personnel imported from the Phoenix Empire to the United States of Jupiter will be strictly scrutinized and monitoring. 99.99% of the wealth accumulated by the vested interests of the Phoenix Empire is obtained through plundering the people's fat and anointing in the country, or through power and money transactions, and it is impossible to enter the United States of Jupiter through normal channels.

In such a situation, the Kronstone Group, as a banking company affiliated to the Charles Commonwealth that has a good relationship with the United States of Jupiter, is able to help them transfer money to the United States of Jupiter through money laundering operations.

After the Phoenix Empire declared war on the Star Alliance, the rich and powerful only transferred their family property at first, but with the appearance of the wandering planet and the Dreadnought Commander-class fortress, the Queen of Blades bloodbathed Krengel and Zelda, and the entire army of the Burning Legion The Jupiter Expeditionary Army led by Ingrid Alexander fell into a dilemma. In addition, His Majesty the Holy Emperor was in a coma, and the domestic political situation was twists and turns, which further stimulated the nerves of the dignitaries.

Now these people are not only satisfied with the transfer of property, but also their descendants, lovers and illegitimate children are all involved in the transfer sequence, trying to find ways to send them abroad for asylum.

If it is a person of ordinary status, it is relatively easy for the Kronstone Group to operate, but when it comes to members of the royal family of the Phoenix Empire, even if they are only illegitimate children and lovers, they need to bear great risks. Once it is discovered by the United States of Jupiter that the Cronstone Group has helped the descendants of the royal family of the Phoenix Empire to immigrate maliciously through forged identities, it will bring a heavy blow to the enterprise.

It is precisely because the nobles of the Phoenix Empire are dissatisfied with the performance of the Kronstone Group,

That's why there is the statement made by Nio Inoue just now, and the situation that the company cannot withdraw capital smoothly.

Powell Lee glanced at the Marquis of Custer Bain and Prince Spier Alexander, and tried to force a smile: "His Royal Highness, please give us a little more time. After all, transferring personnel is not like transferring property. Extremely high and very difficult to operate.”

He hadn't been very impressed with Prince Spire Alexander until the old man introduced eight goddaughters to him and sent him to arrange them out. An old man in his 70s adopted 8 young girls aged 18 or 19 as goddaughters, and 2 of them had big bellies and were already pregnant with Liujia.

What can he say? He can't say anything.

As for the Marquis of Custer Bain, the impression comes more from the Marquise wearing noble fur and wearing diamond rings on all ten fingers. Her intention was to entrust the Kronstone Group to manage a business called the Alex Trust Fund, with a total amount of up to 1.5 billion Phoenix Empire currency. He thought it was set up by the Marquise for her grandson or granddaughter, but later she found out that Alex is a purebred collie.

What can he say? He can't say anything.

Speer Alexander was very dissatisfied with his statement, and said bluntly: "Well, when you successfully transfer people out, when will the amount be approved to be remitted."

Powell Li said: "I beg you... to give a part of the quota first, so that the people at the headquarters can be appeased."

Spire Alexander said coldly, "No."

Powell Li has been working on this matter for many days. He was very restless and anxious. He was confused for a while, and said angrily: "This is the normal profit of the enterprise. We have an agreement first. The Phoenix Empire government should fulfill the agreement and protect foreign-funded enterprises. business activities."

Caster Benn said: "We did sign an agreement, but the agreement said that the Phoenix Empire government fully safeguarded the legitimate business activities of the Kronstone Group in the territory, and did not say that it fully safeguarded the improper operations of the Kronstone Group within the territory. Activity."

Powell Lee was stunned for a moment, and quickly figured out what Custer Benn wanted to express.

The Kronstone Group’s business activities in the Phoenix Empire are inseparable from the care of the powerful group. Many businesses are carried out through power-money transactions, directly bypassing the shackles of regulatory laws and regulations, saving a lot of time and cost.

It's not that he didn't think about doing business in an upright manner, rather than profiting through power-money transactions, but facing the market environment of the Phoenix Empire, the Founder's door was almost blocked, and only the back door could enter and exit.

Unexpectedly, these businesses are now being used by Custer Benn as a tool to blackmail him.

"You...you are not trustworthy, you...you are a bunch of hooligans, liars, and vampires!"

Inoue Erxiong said coldly: "Mr. Powell, pay attention to your words and deeds."

Powell? Li is not a person who has no sense. Hearing this, he tried his best to suppress the evil fire in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be so excited. I will do my best to deal with the requests of several adults. Please be quiet." Good news."

Spire Alexander didn't even say goodbye, and disconnected directly, the light and shadow shook, and finally turned into a spot of light and disappeared. Then the Marquess of Custer Byrne, Marquess of George F*** and Lord Delon,

Nio Inoue showed a gentle smile before disconnecting, and said, "You shouldn't be so excited...but don't worry, I will say something nice for you in front of them."

"Thank you." Powell Lee forced a smile.

The film ends here, and the screen returns to stillness. Of course, the public has no way of knowing the psychological activities of Powell Lee and others, but from the notes in the appendix of the film, they can roughly figure out the ins and outs of the incident and the mentality of the parties involved.

The people of the Durham star system were in an uproar, and then the entire Phoenix Empire fell into a huge storm of public opinion, and even the Star Alliance, the Charles Federation and other countries also obtained this video data.

These are the gorgeous nobles on the stage who keep saying that they are working for the well-being of the people and supporting His Majesty the Holy Emperor. Before they know it, their lovers, wives, and children... have all become citizens of the United States of Jupiter, returning to their hometown in another way. And took away the fruits of hard work of the people of the Phoenix Empire, leaving behind devastated land and hungry and cold people.

They teach civilians to hate the Star Alliance, the Charles Federation, and the United States of Jupiter, but they send wealth and people around them to live in places that should be hated; But insist on being an insatiable hooligan; they keep saying that they love the people like their sons, but let alone sons and grandchildren, ordinary people are not as good as a dog they raise.

This video material completely shattered the hypocritical faces of those pious aristocrats, and made the people at the bottom realize the evil hidden behind the beautiful lies.

Marquis George **, Marquis Custer Bain, Lord Deron, Prince Spire Alexander... These names are well known, despised, and reviled.

Public opinion boiled over it, and an invisible wave surged up in society, like a mountain torrent accumulating, accumulating, accumulating again.

Some people who are politically sensitive showed fearful expressions, as if they were thinking of something that made them afraid... In the past, it was impossible for this kind of video data to be leaked to the social level, and it would be blocked across the board before it was broadcast. Now Woolen cloth? Many broadcasting media spread wildly, and the discussion was everywhere, which was more intense and massive than Hegel Alexander's announcement of entering a state of war against the Star Alliance. It seemed that a pair of invisible hands were controlling the progress of the incident.

That invisible hand... what does it... want to do? The result of doing so can only be to mess up the Phoenix Empire.

At this moment, His Majesty the Holy Emperor made another public speech, which was different from the last point, and he reprimanded George ***Caster Bain and others in an extremely severe tone, saying that what they did It is the traitors of the Red Luoluo who surrendered to the enemy. Just imagine that they transferred their wives and children to the United States of Jupiter. What standpoint do they use to teach the people of the Phoenix Empire to love their country, and what face do they have to be the parents of the people of the Phoenix Empire?

He also said that such officials in the government are not a very small number, nor a minority, nor a majority, but a majority. The resentment of the people has been suppressed for too long, and the suppressed anger is too much. He called on the people at the bottom to unite and let those high-ranking officials see the power of the people.

Here, he gave the people the right to gather, parade, and protest freely. Any army and security department can only guide them, not suppress them, otherwise it will be a crime against the imperial power, the people, and the country.

It's like lifting the lid of an electric kettle, and hot steam gushes out; it's like pulling away from the cornerstone of a building, and the collapse arrives as expected.

The public speech of His Majesty the Holy Emperor spread rapidly within the Phoenix Empire, stirring up a violent storm. The resentment and anger of the people at the bottom have already approached the critical point, but they are just enduring in fear of the power of the strong QUAN. Now with the strong support of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, one can imagine what will happen.

The new governor of the Durham Star System and the commander of the garrison navy, Marlo Smith, was the first to stand up and express his firm support for His Majesty's decision. Any military organization and security guards in the Durham Star System who dare to commit violence against the people will be sentenced to death. .

Then the chief executive of the Leben star system; then the chief executive of the Scadia star system... It is worth mentioning that before the chief executive of the Scadia star system expressed support for His Majesty's decision, the garrison The naval commander died violently for no reason.

...

In the previous Phoenix Empire, the above people used suppression and smear methods to deal with the collective HUI, game XING, and WEI privately initiated by the civil society. This time, it is different from the usual ones. It is an explosion of public opinion guided from top to bottom.

Under the operation of Marlo Smith, the Durham Star System took the lead in setting off a frenzy of strikes and school strikes. A large number of Morris slaves left their jobs and took to the streets. Students from major and middle schools rushed out of the school gates like a tide, and flocked to the square, chanting slogans such as severely punishing traitors and punishing corrupt officials, holding banners and signs, big and small, squandering nothing with practical actions. Let off steam.

The entire Durham star system was loosened and tightened. Under the deliberate indulgence of Marlo Smith, the society fell into huge chaos, the order was on the verge of collapse, and the production of enterprises almost came to a standstill.

The police's guns were all confiscated. Facing the angry flow of people and demonstrators, they could only rely on their riot shields to fight against their armor. Some guys who treated the people harshly in their previous life became punching bags, were injured and maimed, and even died of disordered feet.

This seems to confirm the causality theory that good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil. Once upon a time, they relied on the power of the strong QUAN to ride on the heads of the people and dominate the people. When the strong QUAN no longer protected them, the resentment from the society swallowed them all at once.

When the master decides to abandon the lackeys who usually show their teeth and claws, what awaits them can only be the dog meat hot pot at the banquet.

Faced with such a situation, the police began to retreat. Some people took off their police uniforms and became part of the demonstrators. They rushed into some government agencies and began to surround and attack their former bosses.

The wave of parading is like a high-speed train, which cannot be stopped at all, because its fuel comes from the accumulated public anger and public grievances over the years, and it cannot be burned out in a moment.

Marlo Smith dispatched naval power to block the exit passages of the Durham star system. Those dignitaries either hid in deep mountains and old forests, or entered private space stations set up in space to avoid the bottom people dominated by anger and hatred.

Their lives are far more valuable than those of the untouchables, and when faced with this level of social turmoil, they are even more afraid and terrified.
