Chapter 421 No Contrast, No Harm
"My lord, the president of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce, President Simon, and the person in charge of the Dawn Tavern, Mr. Cameron, are asking to see you." A security team captain who received a report from the team below hurriedly said to the enraged Captain Villa.
"I haven't looked for them yet, but they came here by themselves, and I want to see what the hell they're up to." Captain Villa was taken aback, apparently their visit was a bit unexpected, "Please. "
By the time Captain Villa met with the two famous new industry chain tycoons, he had already performed the face-changing magic, and he could not see the tyranny just now, with the faint arrogance of the nobles on his face, and he treated them It was quite indifferent, and it was impossible to see that he wanted anything from them.
It's not shameful, it's one thing for him to need their cooperation, it's another thing for them to ask for a meeting, no matter what he says, he is a powerful person in his hands, a well-known high-level figure in Valesta, condescending The interview has already given them enough face.
This is because of the background of the three-day carnival, otherwise they would not even have the chance to see him.
After exchanging pleasantries, President Simon said straight to the point: "We have just received a notice from the President, His Excellency Baron Yong Ye, that we will do our best to assist the royal family in preparing for this year's New Year's Carnival in the next three days. Our manpower and material resources have already begun. deployment, but we lack experience in this area, and we don't know the arrangements of the royal family. If the captain can send someone to help, it’s best to go directly to the security team, and we’ll go there whenever there’s a need, and if there’s a riot due to poor arrangements, it’s not beautiful.”
At the beginning, Captain Villa was still able to hold back, but slowly a smile began to spread uncontrollably.
What is it called?
This is called drowsiness and someone gives you a pillow!
He was still racking his brains just now, trying to plot against the other party.
Unexpectedly, the other party not only took the initiative to deliver it to the door, but also cooperated extremely.
As the captain of Valesta's security team, he dealt with all kinds of teaching and learning in this city all day long, but he witnessed the Valesta Chamber of Commerce from nothing to nothing, growing at a speed of snowballing, and had a great influence on them. very clear.
It is no exaggeration to say that this organization has become the largest non-official organization in Vallesta.
With their full assistance, the security team was equivalent to an extra 50,000 troops out of thin air, and the entire Valesta's security team added up to only more than 30,000 people.
How much stress does this have to relieve them?
No wonder, as a great knight, Captain Villa can't control his emotions a bit.
This made him involuntarily develop a fondness for the upstart Baron who had never masked his face.
Although I still disagree with the other party's usual behavior style, at least the other party is a very knowledgeable person.
Before Villa had finished digesting the news, Cameron, the person in charge of Dawn Tavern, added: "We have also received news from our side, asking us to cooperate fully, but our nature is different from that of President Simon, and we need to rely on the tavern , so when the time comes, the security team will be needed to help drain people. Before midnight, we will collect the detailed information of each tavern, especially the number of customers served in a single hour. After the official start, we can make all taverns two to three Summarize the situation once an hour, if possible, I hope that the security team can allocate some people to cooperate with our actions."
Compared with President Simon, who puts a very low attitude, the person in charge of the Dawn Tavern is much more crazy.
This kind of madness does not refer to gestures. From beginning to end, Cameroon is the same as President Simon, smiling like a businessman and philistine, and his tone is as respectful as he wants. All he needs to say is, sir, what can I do for you?
His madness refers to the context.
To some extent, President Simon came here to ask for help. The underlying meaning is that we have no manpower, but we have no experience. We are afraid that we will use the wrong strength when the time comes, not to mention the delay, and it is easy to cause bad things. So they are ready to cooperate with the security team.
Although Cameroon also asked for help, the context was completely reversed. They did not cooperate with the security team, but asked the security team to cooperate with them.
In normal times, Captain Villa's face had already darkened.
At this moment, not only was there no displeasure about being anti-client, but he quickly asked, "How did you manage to summarize the situation every two or three hours?"
Now he wished that the stronger the strength displayed by the Dawn Tavern, the better, and the more pressure he could help them share.
Dawn Tavern is not the name of a tavern, but a brand name. There are already hundreds of taverns with this signboard in Valesta, distributed in every corner of the capital.
Every dawn tavern is a combination of catering and accommodation, which is truly all-round.
In comparison, they are professional in this area, and Villa attaches more importance to them than the Valesta Chamber of Commerce.
"Flying eagle to send a message." Cameroon responded lightly, but imperceptibly contained the way of 13.
Captain Villa couldn't help coughing a few times, almost choking on his own saliva, feeling like a dog in Japan.
People are more popular than people.
Of course he knew about Flying Eagle's transmission of letters, not only did he know, he had already experienced the convenience of it.
As the chief security officer of Valesta, the royal capital, he was one of the first to be equipped with an exclusive flying eagle. After tasting the convenience he brought, he immediately applied for a full installation to the royal family. Each branch of the security team will set up a few exclusive flying eagles. At that time, the entire security team will become a whole. Once there is a problem at a certain point, other branches will get the news as soon as possible and respond.
But his proposal, which he thought was extremely reasonable, was rejected by the royal family without hesitation.
It's not that they can't see the benefits, but that the flying eagle is too expensive. The quantity they ordered from the leader of the Eternal Night Army is limited, and they need to prioritize the frontier defense. The priority is also far above their security team.
The cruel reality once made Captain Villa very sad.
But Cameroon's answer made him have the urge to vomit blood. Their dignified security team failed to popularize the Flying Eagle Passing Letters, and a chain of taverns is a thief.
"So you have already established a complete Flying Eagle messaging network?" Villa asked confirmingly.
"That's right." Cameron nodded and said, "This is a must when we build each Dawn Tavern."
There is no need to hide this, their Flying Eagle Network is purely for commercial use.
The Hawkeyes of the Yongye Army Leader Hawkeye Secret Service will not do it so blatantly, they have even more secret hidden lines.
This matter can't be hidden from Captain Villa's eyes. As long as they send someone to observe carefully, they can get the information they want from the law of the eagle's takeoff and landing.
"Great." Villa slapped the table heavily and made a decision on the spot: "From midnight tonight, all the major branches of our security team will be relocated to the nearest Dawn Tavern. Is it too much trouble, Mr. Cameroon?"
He is not the kind of person who is easily swayed by various negative emotions. He is very good at choosing and choosing. It doesn't matter if his security team doesn't have the Flying Eagle messaging network, they can definitely rely on the Dawn Tavern.
In this way, he can coordinate the overall situation, arrange his manpower reasonably, and deploy various materials, so that he can kill all kinds of unexpected situations at the initial stage.
Cameroon hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "It's our honor to serve the captain, but our Flying Eagle signaling network is relatively weak, the lines are not so dense, and the efficiency of signaling is relatively low."
"It's better than nothing, no matter how slow it is, it's faster than people running." Captain Villa laughed loudly, "Since it's okay, then we've made a decision like this, why are you still doing nothing? Move, move! Get up, there are still four hours before midnight, you only have four hours of preparation time left, before midnight, I want you to make all the preparations."
The two major boosts that were automatically sent to the door dispelled most of the dark clouds in Captain Villa's heart.
To be honest, before this, Captain Villa's confidence in surviving the three-day New Year's Carnival was not even 100%, but now it is 50% more.
From this point of view, I seem to have wronged Her Royal Highness the Princess Regent a bit. The other party did not make a brainless decision, and it is estimated that she has already made in-depth consideration and preparation.
Villa couldn't believe that these two great helpers and the Baron Yongye standing behind them had such a high level of consciousness, and it must be Sophilia who contributed to them when they came to their door.
Everything affects the whole body, especially this kind of large-scale celebration involving millions of people.
Before the official start, a lot of preparatory work has already begun.
The security team headed by Villa is just one of the microcosms.
They are the main security personnel who maintain the entire celebration, but they are not the root cause.
The root of it is the points where free bread and booze are handed out, before they have to stockpile like crazy.
A piece of free bread for each person, a glass of free beer, and millions of servings each, let alone for three days.
This kind of national activity is sometimes just a gimmick, and may not necessarily meet everyone's needs. Many people line up for a day, and it is rare to receive a piece of free bread and a free glass of beer.
Of course, this is just theoretical data.
The actual situation is not so bad. As an inherent carnival, after so many years of development, it has already formed its own unique process.
Not all citizens will take to the streets to receive free food and drink.
This is something that people who live at the bottom of this city will do.
Those who hold their own status, status, and wealth, not only do not accept free food and drinks, but they are the givers.
For one thing, this will be regarded as a response to the call of the royal family, and it will be used to talk about it in the future, especially those lords and nobles. If they do not show their strong cooperation and support for the royal family at this time, who knows if they will be settled by Qiu Hou in the future?
Secondly, the New Year's carnival is also regarded as a reward for the past year, the lord's service to the servants who have served him for a year, the businessman's apprentices and employees who have worked for him for a year, and so on.
Since any loyalty relationship is formed, especially when interests are involved, the people who are loyal to them will entertain those who are loyal to them.
The specifications of the banquets vary, ranging from grand ones to simple distribution of bread and wine.
No matter how simple it is, it has to be expressed. According to the old customs, those who are loyal to themselves will restrain those who are loyal to themselves and prevent them from receiving free food from other people, including the royal family.
Because of doing so, they are usually seen as those who are loyal, and cannot even support those who are loyal to themselves.
This is not a matter of being shamed or not, or being looked down upon.
But it involves the big problem of future development.
Don't think it's a joke.
If they can't even support their own loyalists, how can they expect new loyalists to pledge their allegiance to them?
If the person I am loyal to is still stingy with a little bit of food after I have worked hard for him for a year, what is such a person worthy of allegiance?
It's better to find a chance and leave early.
Therefore, even lords and nobles who are usually stingy, at this time, they have to open their pockets and entertain their attendants with the highest standard to show their sincerity.
Even those low-level figures who form cliques are no exception.
To be more precise, they take this more seriously.
Because what unites them is loyalty and loyalty. If they can't even feed their brothers and family members, what qualifications do they have to hang around? How to develop and grow?
Thirdly, some free citizens with relatively wealthy families would usually not join this rank. They preferred to stay with their families and share delicious food.
This is purely a matter of face.
"Although there are still many citizens who like to take advantage of small things, but the big flow has been separated, and there are not so many people we need to deal with. The initial estimate is between 200,000 and 300,000, and at most it will not exceed 400,000 If it exceeds this number, I will visit Valesta's distinguished nobles one by one in the next year, and ask them what they did for food in the past year? Or are they dissatisfied with their new king?"
When it came to the last sentence, Princess Regent Sophilia was full of anger.
Her final visit was by no means as simple as a visit in an ordinary artistic conception, but an out-and-out questioning.
Because this involves an issue of expressing one's position on the new king's coming to the fore, those who mess up at this time will definitely be included in the ranks of those who are dissatisfied with the new king.
In order to clear the way for Prince Laurie to ascend to the throne, the Princess Regent has to kill.
The lords and nobles who can hang out in Valesta, the capital of the kingdom, are all big and small foxes with a super-developed political sense, and can easily understand the deep meaning contained in it.
Even if they dared to be perfunctory about the New Year's carnival in previous years, they would not dare this year.
Sean was dumbfounded when he heard this. He always felt that this festival tradition was a bit unimaginable, but the fact was that all kinds of information were being fed back rapidly. As of noon today, the people who received the free food were obviously the same as Valesta. The total population does not match, only about 25%.
Many people, as Sophilia said, automatically gathered to their allegiance targets. There were carnival feasts waiting for them there. How could they have the time to queue up to receive free food from the royal family.
With the help of Dawn Tavern and Valesta Chamber of Commerce, the situation is a bit easier than expected. Among them, Dawn Tavern's Flying Eagle transmission network plays a role that cannot be ignored.
It turns the security forces of the entire Valesta into a whole, allowing them to carry out personnel, food deployment, and even artificial personnel diversion according to the situation at each point.
I dare not say that everyone is satisfied, and in a hurry, without too many vicious incidents, it is already considered a success.
Sean can only sigh, the world is full of wonders.
Valesta can form such a unique custom, and there must be profound historical reasons behind it.
Once anything is agreed upon, and a concept is formed, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and when everyone sticks to it, no matter how unbelievable it is, things will fall into place.
The only thing Sean can do is to follow the local customs and follow their customs.
"But this time, it's still thanks to you, especially the Flying Eagle Network at Dawn Tavern." Regent Princess Sophilia looked at Sean with a half-smile, and the word Flying Eagle Network was very heavy.
I almost didn't ask, what exactly do you want to do?
"It's purely for commercial use, it's for exchanging business information, and it's just for the convenience of controlling supplies." Sean replied somewhat guilty.
It's not that they really want to use this Flying Eagle transmission network to do something, but this one, they seem to be running a little too fast.
After all, Valesta is the core location of the Lancelot royal family, and the security team that maintains law and order has not yet reached this level.
If someone did this in his territory, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.
