Chapter 470

The two spoke at a moderate speed, with clear and concise words, like a gentle conversation between gentlemen, but Old Corey felt a chill and an indescribable uncomfortable feeling in his chest, as if he was in a sea of ​​storms. On the violently bumpy ship's side deck.

Marlo Smith waved to the sectional sofa and said, "Sit."

Tang Fang was not polite at all, walked to the middle of the three-person sofa and sat down.

Old Corey smiled unnaturally, and slowly sat on a single sofa, while Marlowe sat opposite him, and asked, "What do you want to drink?"

Tang Fang said: "Don't bother. Your Excellency Governor didn't invite me here for tea. It's more important to talk about business."

Marlowe didn't expect him to speak so directly, he was stunned for a while, then smiled and said, "Very good, neither humble nor overbearing, he is a great person."

What system is the Phoenix Empire? In an imperial country, nobles are not as approachable as officials in a country like the Star Alliance. They have always been high above them, overlooking the incompetent ants in the Jiji camp like a mountain. Over time, they will naturally form an aura. Ordinary people will inevitably lose their mentality in front of them. , afraid of hands and feet.

Tang Fang smiled, and replied lightly: "Thank you."

What is the title of Governor General? Second Earl! Earls like him, two or three died in his hands, Aldrich of Croatan, Roger of Rector, and of course, the heir to the duke with a higher status, Lancelot .

Not to mention that Marlowe Smith is just an earl, even if Virginia Alexander, His Majesty the Holy Emperor of the Phoenix Empire, came personally, he would not be able to shake the captain's heart, because there will always be someone who has to pay for Morris slave's tragic fate.

Perhaps it was Tang Fang's indifference and calmness that displeased Marlowe. He frowned and looked at the old Corey opposite him: "Are you Corey Christian from the Rover Technology Complex?"

"Yes." Old Corey nodded, not knowing what to think of. After pondering for a while, he added: "It used to be."

Marlowe looked at Tang Fang, and then at him. A bright light suddenly shot out from the eyes, and then quickly dimmed. He lay back on the back of the sofa, thought for a long time, and said, "That mysterious battleship is here for you."

Tang Fang shrugged, his expression was indifferent, and his tone was equally indifferent, as if this was not the point of the matter at all: "Maybe, who knows..."

maybe? Who knows? Marlowe put his fingers on the knees and tapped his knees. He froze and said, "You don't know where it came from?"

Tang Fang said: "I don't know.

"

Marlowe asked no more. He wants to understand one thing, and it doesn't make much sense to get entangled in this issue. Moreover, since the other party doesn't want to talk about it, he has no good solution. After all, it's better not to get entangled in these trivial details now that he has something to ask for.

The Tianchao star area has always been not very peaceful, and the undercurrent is even more turbulent under the turbulent situation, and there are many mice hiding in the dark.

Sorrow is restrained and smile is blooming. "You're lucky," he said.

"Who said it wasn't?"

Tang Fang still had the face that was a little bit of a beating. Old Corey finally understood why Horace hated him. This was an act of contempt for authority and elders. Appears very disrespectful, very rebellious, very uneducated.

However, this is very relieved, because Marlowe is known as the most promising man in the "Pulsatilla" family, and seeing the earl suffer is definitely something that is difficult even if he has money.

Marlowe was indeed a little angry, and the clay figurine was still a bit angry, let alone a son of nobles like him. It's just because he has been immersed in the officialdom for many years, his energy-raising skills are very good. Angry but not obvious, sullen but not dry. Still unhurriedly said: "It's a pity that the luck of Boyle, Horace and others is really not very good."

"!"

Tang Fang used 4 times in a row, shaking his right index finger like a pendulum. Such behavior was still very disrespectful, but what he said next made Marlowe's pupils shrink, and his body seemed to be frozen into a piece of black ice by a sudden cold wind, cold, And hard.

"Their luck is already very good. After all, the whole body is kept, but the 'staff' in the warehouse...they...are your people."

When he said this, the Captain stopped his movements, and his eyes fell on the Earl through his index finger, splitting his not-so-good-looking face in half.

It was almost noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the hot light shot into the room through the window lattice, and was cut off by the expensive tables and chairs in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as the stiff body of the Earl. The heat of the sun was enough to melt snow and glaciers, but it could not melt him. The wind and snow in my heart, the cold light in my eyes.

Marlowe looked at Tang Fang, his eyes widened, his pupils narrowed, his body was tense, and his expression was extremely cold. His sentence "You are so lucky." It was just a casual compliment. Compared with luck, He believes more in strength, or brains.

Although he didn't know what happened in the warehouse, he knew very well that the reason Tang Fang survived was very small, even infinitely close to zero.

This guy is really smart!

However, until now, he suddenly discovered that he still underestimated his opponent. Captain Tang's intelligence was completely beyond his imagination, and he was already close to a monster.

The information revealed in the above sentence may seem simple, but it actually contains something deeper.

Marlowe is well aware of this, because these so-called "deep things" all originated from him.

As early as last night, he already had an insight into the conspiracy of the "Rover Technology Consortium", and knew that Boyle, Horace and others had set up a trick for Captain Tang.

It is true that this is shameless, despicable, and despicable, but the Earl is not a gentleman, and he has no intention of caring about Tang Fang's life and death. Never in style to save a businessman from the Covenant.

Because he needs to use the death of some people to make a fuss in order to create "little trouble" for the Star Alliance government. It doesn't make much difference to him whether Tang Fang and the others die, or Horace and the others are finished. As long as the "staff" in the warehouse inadvertently break through this scandal, the Phoenix Empire has enough reasons to pour dirty water on the Star Alliance government and ask for an explanation, which will make those old guys in the parliament burnt out and worry about it.

Actually...it really doesn't matter who dies and who lives!

It's just that I didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to come out halfway, and the mysterious battleship stepped in. Turning the situation into a mess, the well-arranged "staff" died unexpectedly, and only a few people from Tang Fang's group survived.

Boyle, Horace and others all died. Only Cory Christian is left alive, it seems now. I'm afraid this old guy has already betrayed the "Rover Technology Consortium" and was bought by this kid.

Now, Captain Tang's seemingly casual sentence, but if it doesn't hit his mind, how can Marlowe Smith not be shocked, how can he not be horrified!

Wisdom is close to demon. This word may be applicable to Zhuge Liang in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but it is not very practical for Tang Fang. He is not as terrible as the earl thinks. However, relying on Emma's presence, the instructions sent by the Governor's Mansion to various places in "Arcaci" through space-based communication equipment could not be hidden from his eyes and ears, that's all.

Of course, he would not say this, and Marlo Smith naturally had no way of knowing.

"very good!"

These two words were almost biting the tip of the tongue, as sharp as a cold wind and as sharp as an ice pick.

The Earl straightened up, looked at him and said, "I like dealing with smart people, because it will save a lot of trouble."

This is what he said in his heart, but it is only half of it. Because the second half of the sentence is somewhat unpleasant, at least it is inappropriate to say it in this situation, because it is: "At the same time. I hate dealing with smart people, because it is very nerve-wracking."

Tang Fang smiled, did not answer, looked at Marlowe, and quietly waited for his next words.

"Talk about your conditions. I know you are a businessman."

Politicians are good at balancing, and businessmen are proficient in business. This is a society where interests are paramount, and if you want to get something, you have to pay.

Marlowe understood this. So, he's no nonsense. Without explaining in detail, he just said: "What do I want. You should be very clear in your heart."

Tang Fang nodded and said: "I know what you want. In the general direction, we have a common enemy, but you want politics, and I want to vent my anger. Some people or organizations must do what they did today. I have to pay some price, otherwise, others will think that I am easy to bully."

Marlowe smiled, the golden sunshine bloomed behind his back, the mysterious ice turned into warm jade, and the cold wind and haze were swept away.

He said: "I don't know what other people think, anyway, I don't think so."

Tang Fang narrowed his eyes, looked at the dazzling "Babylon" on the top of the French window, and said with a smile, "What about before?"

Marlowe thought for a while, and said, "The troublemaker, the devil."

"Your Earl is really humorous."

"Captain Tang is a good idea."

"..."

Old Corey sat across from Marlo Smith. The temperature in the governor's office was neither high nor low, just like the peach blossom season. However, he felt wet and greasy under his buttocks, as if sticking to a layer of sweat and stuffy. , feel bad all over.

He vaguely guessed the content of the transaction between the two, and he had a deeper understanding of Captain Tang's character.

This kid is not only cunning, but also a combination of contradictions who are good at dancing with long sleeves but refuse to suffer, and must retaliate.

In Marlowe Smith's cognition, he may have been bought by Tang Fang, and he was placed as an eyeliner in the "Wanderer Technology Consortium", which made the plan of Boyle and others fall short, and died tragically in a foreign land.

He was really wronged. In the whole incident, he didn't pass the wind and report a letter for Captain Tang. He was more like a bystander, watching Boyle, Horace and others play, and finally put himself play dead.

Tang Fang seems to have done nothing, but knows everything. He has been very cooperative, like a qualified supporting role. Watching the protagonists jump and jump like monkeys, they are smiling and jumping happily. When it happened, he slapped him to death.

It wasn't until then that he really saw what kind of person Captain Tang was and how deeply his strength was hidden. Therefore, he changed his job to become a traitor without hesitation. This was to save his life, and it was also a choice.

In many cases, the rules of the workplace and the officialdom are very similar, and they also need to stand in line.

Of course, he will not tell Governor Marlowe these words, because it is not important, what is important is how he should submit the certificate next.

1. The "Roamer Technology Consortium" came to sell minerals.

2. Instead of choosing the "Sky Garden" as the trading location, it is arranged in "Arcaici" under the jurisdiction of the Phoenix Empire.

3. After Tang Fang arrived at "Cuifanke", "Iga Industry", "Eco-Sowopuna Group", "Ward Heavy Industries" and several government-backed mineral trading companies secretly transported to "Arkasi". Come bulk minerals.

Four: Warehouse No. 07 changed, and Horace, Benedict, Boyle, and a large number of armed personnel died abnormally.

5. Tang Fang accused the "Wanderer Technology Consortium", "Iga Industry", "Wode Heavy Industry" and other Star Alliance military enterprises for designing to frame him, and made remarks that the Star Alliance Congress was behind the scenes.

6. Corey Christian, former manager of the "Babylon" branch of the "Wanderer Technology Consortium", admitted that this was a conspiracy involving many military companies in the Star Alliance, and identified the so-called national affairs as an excuse. They deliberately suppressed the "Morning Star Foundry" by relying on the public to report their own interests, and planned to pass the crime on to the "Al-Kaisi" government.

Seven; Phoenix Empire site inspection report.

Even if there is no direct evidence that the Covenant government was involved. Based on the above 7 points, the Phoenix Empire also has sufficient reasons to question the Covenant government.

You must know that the social system of the Star Alliance is not like an imperial country. The citizens are bright-eyed and smart, so they naturally want to know what's going on and what's behind it.

Once such a political scandal occurs, one can imagine the pressure faced by high-level government officials, and even the parliament may face reorganization.

The Star Alliance government regards the "Babylon" treaty as nothing, and intends to frame foreign investors. Who can afford such a crime?

Especially now that Tianchao's current situation is changing, people's hearts are uneasy, countries are in danger, and the "Babylonian economy" is frustrated. If such a constitutional scandal breaks out, it will have far-reaching impact and deep harm.

All of the above were thought of by Old Corey in a flash, and he couldn't help but dip his sleeves into the cold sweat overflowing from his temples. Looking at the man who was bathed in golden yellow, he swallowed involuntarily.

The temperature in the room was not high, but his heart was getting hotter and hotter. It is not eagerness, nor enthusiasm, but hot, stuffy, hot.

No wonder Marlo Smith is known as the most promising man of the "Pulsatilla" family. No wonder the reincarnation of the Divine Phoenix, His Majesty the Great Sage Emperor Virginia Alexander sent him to garrison "Archassi". What a horrible fellow with venomous eyes, smarter than some old foxes in Parliament.

If Nicole? Arnold is the economic ambassador of the Phoenix Empire. That Marlo? Smith is the political and military ambassador, the real civil and military.

Marlowe didn't know that his few words made old Corey think so much in an instant. Although he noticed that the merchant's expression became stiff as iron, he didn't have the heart to scruple. Because just dealing with Captain Tang is enough to make him burn out.

In fact, he also has a "if body" in his heart --- if Corey Christian is an old fox, then the guy who talks to him without showing any timidity is a rejuvenated thousand-year-old vixen. It's also tricky, which makes people have a headache.

He looked at Tang Fang and said for the second time, "Let's talk about your conditions."

Tang Fang stood up from the sofa, walked towards the bright floor-to-ceiling windows, and said as he walked, "Let's not talk about the conditions first, I want to ask the Earl a word."

Marlowe turned his head, looked at his back that seemed to be melting into the sunlight, and said, "Ask."

"You probably don't have any evidence, after all, the monitoring equipment in the warehouse has been damaged, Horace and the others have also returned to the dark world, and the confession of the old Cory is too weak, and it is easy for the Star Alliance government to find countermeasures to confuse the public. "

Tang Fang looked at the low ridge in the distance, the pines and cypresses on it were green.

He seemed to be fascinated by the beautiful scenery, and after a dozen breaths, he said a word: "I can provide you with direct evidence."

"What!" Marlo Smith stood up from the sofa like a spring that was stretched and then suddenly loosened. Looking at the somewhat dazzling back behind the desk, he said, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

If it is just accusations and testimony, the Star Alliance government will fall into a quagmire of public opinion, but if the crisis public relations are handled in a timely manner, it will not hurt the nerves, but if there is direct evidence that the Star Alliance government is the mastermind behind this incident , then everything will be different, and the Star Alliance must make a positive statement.

This also means that Tang Fang and the Star Alliance government are completely torn apart, which is not what a businessman should do.

The old Corey on the opposite side also stood up from the sofa. He didn't think too much, but wondered why Tang Fang had direct evidence.

Marlowe probably thought he had collected it while being an agent of the Wanderer Technology Complex, but he knew very well that it wasn't the case at all.

Tang Fang withdrew his gaze from a distance, turned around, walked back to the original place and sat down, and said calmly, "Do you think it is necessary to save some face between me and the Star Alliance government?"

"Knowing that I want to buy minerals, they mobilized their forces to drive up prices and play tricks on me; knowing that I was going to form 'Morning Star Casting', they were tight, but they did not hesitate to withdraw 40 billion from my account; I, and even my only ally, the Rover Technology Consortium, have turned against me under the influence of the government."

"Since they treat me like this, why do you need to save face for them? It's better to tear it apart. Everyone, you come and do it with me to see who is superior, and by the way, express the resentment and anger that have been accumulated for a long time. , Unconvinced."

Marlowe stared at his face closely for a full minute before bursting out into a loud laugh: "Okay, he's a man of high spirits, and he's a man who does great things!"

Captain Tang was right. The Star Alliance government forced him so hard, and this time it almost took his life away. Since he couldn't bear it, there was no need to bear it any longer, and he might as well shake the Star Alliance political arena. (to be continued)
