Chapter 987 Neutral Duty Free Zone

"It's already been arranged so perfectly, and there will be accidents?" Leo looked at Sylvia on his lap in surprise.

After returning to the hotel, Sylvia washed up, teased little Tolan, and then lay down on the sofa in a position she felt comfortable with, next to Leo, resting her head on Leo's leg On the Internet, she explained in detail what she had done these days and the results.

When she mentioned that there were three accidents in her plan, Leo also showed surprise, because he provided the intelligence information by himself, and he knew very well that as long as the intelligence information was carefully deployed, there would definitely not be any loopholes . However, now Sylvia said that there were accidents when the men she deployed and the military personnel were arresting three very important traitors, which really made Leo feel a little puzzled.

"It's a mutant." Sylvia sighed and explained the reason.

Without exception, these traitors are all mutants with extraordinary power, and their strength far exceeds that of ordinary mutants. Even Sylvia doubted the three when she saw the feedback report. Accident is not a mutant, but a perfect family.

"But it doesn't matter." Sylvia chuckled again, and said: "Although I haven't been able to catch those guys perfectly, the main purpose has been achieved. At least in a short period of time, the country can be clean for a period of time." As she said that, she changed the subject in a jumpy way, and said, "How about we renovate and rebuild this hotel?"

Leo looked at Sylvia puzzled, not understanding why she would suddenly switch to this topic.

Sylvia explained: "The property right of this hotel has been handed over to me now, and it is considered one of the Earl de Maupassant's properties. I looked at the accounts of this hotel and found that this hotel has been losing money all year round. I am afraid that other functions have already gone bankrupt, and now it is our industry, so it is definitely not acceptable to continue to operate in the previous loss-making way."

"How are you going to remodel?" Leo asked casually.

"I haven't considered this yet." Sylvia shrugged and said, "What else do you think?"

"Kabu City itself has no special products. If it were not for the war, it would not be possible to develop into a city. In the past, because it was a transfer station for front-line materials, the empire used it as a central point for collecting kingdom intelligence and built a high-end hotel. It is not a wrong decision. But now that the armistice agreement has been signed, as long as the people in power on both sides are not the kind of lunatics born for war, it is almost impossible for the war between the two countries to occur in a short period of time, and even if it occurs, it will only be a small-scale conflict. So a high-end hotel is really unnecessary here." Leo carefully analyzed the situation, thought for a while, and said: "The location here is not bad, not far from the border of the two countries, and there is a well-developed Kingdom Railway Passing through here, the infrastructure is also very complete. If you can get the city to be classified as a neutral duty-free zone from the high-level officials of the kingdom, then you can transform this hotel into a large hotel that integrates casinos and entertainment. Hotels should be able to become a profitable industry by then.”

"Neutral duty-free zone?" Sylvia heard such a thing for the first time, but she quickly understood the meaning of the word literally, and after thinking about it carefully, she found that Leo's proposal was indeed true. It was a good way, but what she thought of was not just about this hotel, but how much benefit the entire Kabu City could gain from the neutral duty-free zone.

At present, the gray fog covering the sea does not know when it will dissipate. When Sylvia asked the nature walker about this matter in the black forest, the nature walker did not answer an exact time, but only said that the world It will be over when the transformation is over. Judging from his point of view, I am afraid it will take a few years to say the least.

Because of the gray fog, the ocean trade will naturally stop. Even in the coastal area, the gray fog will move to the shore from time to time due to the ebb and flow of the tide. It is very difficult to get out. At least now, among the thousands of fog accidents recorded in the United Kingdom, less than 30 have survived from the fog, so now sea transportation, even offshore transportation, has stopped. Only Inland rivers were not affected.

Since then, at least in the past few years, road transportation has become the main transportation channel, but because of the war, the roads and railways between the United Kingdom of France and the Empire of France have all been destroyed, and depending on the situation, it will be short. It is impossible to recover in time.

Although Kabu City is not the closest city to the border between the two countries, it is the terminal station of the kingdom's railway network closest to the French Empire, and because of wartime reasons, it has complete warehouses and freight facilities. If the Empire and the United Kingdom want to have For business contacts, the geographical location of Kabu City becomes very critical.

In this spies purge against the empire, a large number of dignitaries in Kabu City were sacked, and most of the properties left by these sacked dignitaries fell into the hands of Sylvia. The value of the industry is low, but the industry harvested after cleaning up spies in other cities is more valuable, and those who share the cake in the United Kingdom are more willing to get those sweeter cakes.

Now, although Sylvia does not hold any public office in Kabu City, she has already controlled nearly 70% of the large and small industries in Kabu City, including warehouse management and transportation.

Once the private business of the two countries begins to normalize, then Kabu City will inevitably become one of the gateways for trade between the two countries. At this time, if Kabu City has the special conditions of a neutral duty-free zone, then it will definitely become the center of trade between the two countries As for Sylvia, who is the actual controller of this city, the benefits she can obtain will be beyond imagination.

Thinking of this, even Sylvia, who didn't care much about money, couldn't help breathing heavily, and couldn't help but sit up from the couch, and walked back and forth in the living room a few times.

However, she quickly calmed down and began to think about how to carry out this matter. After repeated consideration, she found that it was difficult for her to monopolize the benefits of this matter. I am afraid that she would have to give up a large part of the benefits to do into doing things.

Although the high-level leaders of the United Kingdom have not thought about the normalization of trade between the two countries for the time being, once she, the high-level kingdom, raises the concept of a neutral duty-free zone and promotes this matter, it will definitely attract the attention of high-level officials. At that time, let alone Rupert Fitz is so intelligent and extraordinary, even the general high-level officials of the kingdom may have estimated the huge benefits contained in it.

In the next few days, although Sylvia did not leave the hotel, she summoned all her staff and staff in the intelligence department to the hotel, as if using the suites on the top floors of the hotel as an office, and began to deal with the internal affairs of the intelligence department. matters and the application matters of the neutral duty-free zone.

However, for these elites of the United Kingdom's intelligence department, the most important thing during this period is not to adjust the internal affairs of the intelligence department, not to compete for power with another intelligence department that faces the interior of the kingdom, and not to continue to strengthen the penetration of the empire Well, there is only one thing they are most concerned about recently, and that is Leo, this Englishman who came out of nowhere and took away their minister's heart.

These intelligence elites from the United Kingdom can be considered very good. Just relying on Leo Inge's identity and his appearance, they found several archives that Leo had contacted with Sylvia in the past.

However, after seeing these materials, they were even more confused, because the number of contacts between Leo and Sylvia was really limited, less than five times in total, and the time was very short. What kind of feelings will be produced in a short contact time.

Therefore, they could only suspect that something happened to Sylvia and Leo on the Minsk continent, which made the two people's relationship rise rapidly, and they finally came together.

But this matter was quickly questioned, because the birth time of little Tolan was not correct, and when Sylvia appeared in the northern part of the French Empire a few months ago, there was no sign of pregnancy.

As a result, the time when Leo and Sylvia fell in love, the time when Little Tolan was born, etc. have become the investigation items that Sylvia's subordinates have devoted the most energy to recently. This incident even aroused the concern of the United Kingdom Concerned that they have also invested in the investigation through their own methods and manpower.

The investigation of Sylvia's subordinates was more because of their curiosity. After all, Sylvia was high in power, amazing in ability, and one of the top people in the kingdom. Naturally, there were many suitors, but they never I have seen her show a little affection for any suitor, but now she has an English lover inexplicably, which is enough to arouse the curiosity of anyone who knows Sylvia.

Compared with Sylvia's subordinates, the investigations of various high-level dignitaries in the United Kingdom of France are obviously more utilitarian.

You must know that in the eyes of most of the kingdom's dignitaries, Sylvia is definitely not just a high-ranking official of the kingdom government with outstanding ability and real power. Sylvia is also one of the few hereditary nobles in the kingdom, and her title is also the highest. There are several people, and they have hereditary fiefdoms, and the huge benefits contained in them are enough to make anyone's heart flutter.

If Sylvia didn't have much power, she might have become the food of some greedy people with such great power and wealth. Unfortunately, Sylvia possesses extraordinary power, and her methods are ruthless. The destruction of several evil-minded nobles of the kingdom gave everyone a warning, enabling her to firmly control the property in her hands.

Just like this time, even though she was on the mainland of Minsk, the sea passage had been blocked by gray fog, no one in her property in the United Kingdom dared to intervene, and none of her subordinates dared to think of overstepping , This is the true embodiment of her ability and prestige.

For the dignitaries of the United Kingdom, although they cannot intervene in Sylvia's property, as long as Sylvia has no descendants, the properties, titles, and fiefdoms under Sylvia's name will be like nothingness. In the end, these industries are still likely to fall into their hands.

Therefore, some people with ulterior motives thought about sending out some disgusting suitors, so as to make Sylvia hate men, and even encourage Sylvia to become the Earl of Maupassant, carry out daily social interaction, strengthen It masculinized, thereby severing Sylvia's offspring.

Sylvia easily saw through the thoughts of these people, but because the actions of these people were also in line with her wishes, she did not do anything, but let them go, which also made those who were interested feel that their plans were successful up.

But what these people never expected was that Sylvia brought back an English lover who hadn't held any wedding vows ceremony after just a trip to the Minsk mainland, and also had a child with this English lover .

Although this child is an illegitimate child, and his identity is somewhat criticized, even the French Empire has recognized that illegitimate children have the right to inherit more than a hundred years ago, and the United Kingdom will naturally not deny the right of inheritance to illegitimate children.

Therefore, the heir to Earl de Maupassant, who has been idle for a long time, has now appeared in front of everyone, and those who have been planning and expecting for many years have all come to nothing.

Years of planning, once it fails, this will naturally make those who care about it resentful, but Sylvia's status and power are very special, they dare not do anything to Sylvia, but Leo, an Englishman Naturally, it became their target.

Every day Sylvia can receive dozens of reports about someone investigating Leo's identity investigation, and every time she comes to read one by one to Leo, laughing while reading, as if saying that it is the funniest thing in the world like a joke.

Originally, this matter was just a little talk between Leo and Sylvia after dinner, neither of them took this matter to heart, nor did they think about what to do, but what happened next made Leo and Sylvia Via was irritated, which made Leo decide to do something to stop those small movements.

The thing that annoyed Sylvia and Leo was actually very simple, that is, a killer sneaked into the hotel, trying to assassinate Tolan Jr., and when Leo found and caught him, he decisively committed suicide by taking poison, and The poison was so violent that even Leo couldn't do it if he wanted to cast a spell.

However, even if this person is dead, Leo still has a way to extract the desired information from him.

"Leave this to me..." Sylvia looked at the killer's body and said with a gloomy face. It seemed that she had already thought about a big cleaning.

"No, it's better to leave it to me! You stay here to deal with things, protect little Tolan, and I'll go out for two days." Leo interrupted Sylvia, and before she could respond, he grabbed the baby on the ground. The dead body jumped out of the window of the hotel suite, spread the psionic wings in the air, and flew towards the outer suburbs of Kabu City.
