Chapter 3501 Leader
When I opened my eyes again, I had arrived at my destination.
The locomotive was driving slowly on the white and spacious brick avenue.
Through the car window, I clearly saw the buildings on both sides of the street. They were tall and magnificent, neat and cold. They were not at all casual and low-key like a country town. They were warm and soft. It gave people only one feeling - it looked very much like a village. A cold prison made of masonry.
"This is not the town we last met in," I whispered.
"Yes." Heloise's voice came from the front row: "This is the core town of the northern continent and the headquarters of the Oath Keepers organization."
"The headquarters of the Oath Keepers organization?" He opened the car window, stuck his head out, first looked at the pedestrians, then at the tall buildings, and finally looked aimlessly at the side of the street: "The construction is really luxurious. of."
"After all, it is one of the most core towns in the northern continent, and it is also the headquarters of the Oath Keeper organization. Naturally, it will take a lot of effort to build it."
Heloise smiled.
I looked back and forth several times, but there was no beggar or homeless person, so I asked out of curiosity: "Has this town reached the level of equal wealth?"
"Huh?" Heloise asked curiously, not understanding what I meant, "What did you say?"
"I said, has the economic level of this town reached equal wealth? It seems that there is not even a beggar or homeless person on the street."
"Definitely not." Heloise sneered and said, "This is all thanks to my father's policies."
"Oh?" I asked curiously: "Who is your father? How can he organize the town so well?"
"Master? Huh!" Heloise said disdainfully: "He just issued a small policy and fundamentally solved this problem."
"What policy?" I asked even more curiously.
"He drove all the beggars and vagrants out of the town and left them to fend for themselves."
"It's actually like this."
I have learned a lot.
This is truly a fundamental solution to the problem - he directly eliminates the people who caused the problem.
But when I say this, I always feel something is wrong.
Isn’t what really causes the gap between rich and poor caused by the greed of the aristocratic groups and the oppression and exploitation of ordinary people at the bottom?
Why relegate the problem to beggars and homeless people?
Of course, except for those idle guys, they are not engaged in production and are always eager to get free lunches. Naturally, they cannot become rich, but those who really work hard for life and the future should not get such an end.
And I don’t believe that all tramps and beggars are idlers. There must be people who work but can’t afford to eat. As a last resort, they can only make ends meet by becoming beggars or tramps.
I believe that in addition to the beggars and homeless people who have been driven out of the towns, there are many ordinary residents who are constantly struggling under the high pressure of oppression and exploitation. It is just that they can barely make ends meet, have clothes, clothes and houses to live. Desperate to the point of wandering or begging.
"In other words, the gap between rich and poor in this town is also very large, right?"
"You're right," Hailoy said without any hesitation: "It's not just about rising up. Not long ago, this town just ended a crackdown on civilian protesters."
As soon as he said this, he was interrupted by the member of the Oath Keepers organization in the driver's seat: "Your Highness, the entrance to the headquarters is ahead."
"Yes, I know," Heloise said lightly. Then, she turned to me and said, "The chat is over for now. Go sit at my place for a while."
"That's fine."
I nodded in response.
The motorcycle stopped in front of the gate of the Oath Keepers headquarters, and Heloise and I got off the motorcycle one after the other.
When entering the gate, two guards stopped Heloise, stared at me, and said: "Your Highness, the leader has an order that any unknown person needs to board the plane for inspection before entering."
"Go away!" Heloise shouted with a cold look on her face.
"I hope Your Highness will not embarrass me."
The two guards guarding the door did not give Heloise any face.
"Humph" Heloise snorted coldly: "I think it wasn't my father who gave the order. The person who could give such a stupid order must be my stupid brother!"
The two guards did not refute, but judging from their helpless expressions, this was indeed the case.
Seeing Heloise's face getting gloomier, I took a step forward, reached out and patted Heloise on the shoulder, and said, "Forget it, don't go in if you don't want to. It just so happens that this is not the purpose of my trip."
"Xiaoyi." Heloise looked embarrassed and whispered: "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer and I can solve this problem."
"It's not that I won't let you wait." I said with a smile: "The purpose of my trip is just to chat with old friends and reminisce about the past on the battlefield. It would be better. As for where to be a guest, it doesn't matter. , do you understand?"
Heloise looked uncertain. After a few seconds, she sighed softly and said, "Okay then."
After that, he took the lead and went with me to prepare temporary supplies.
Even with Heloise's motorcycle, it would still take at least three or two days to reach the battlefield directly, and you might have to camp in the wilderness along the way, so the necessary supplies must be prepared in advance.
While buying supplies, I discovered that someone was following us, but I ignored these people's intentions, because in my opinion, they were just a group of lowly adventurers. Even if the roadbed was here, there were at least six I'm sure I can take on a group of them alone.
After the shopping was over, we went to the restaurant to eat again. While waiting for the food, I curiously asked Heloise: "Does your brother have a bad relationship with you? By the way, I remember that you have a younger brother, right?"
"Yes." Heloise nodded and said, "I have a younger brother and an older brother. My brother and I have a very bad relationship, but his relationship with his younger brother is even worse."
"Oh?" I asked curiously: "Why is this?"
"It's not because the younger brother will inherit his father's position in the future, but the elder brother is not qualified."
"Huh?" I was even more confused: "Isn't it said that the elders are established rather than the young?"
"That's just a one-sided statement," Heloise said: "Since the last war, the strength of the Oath Keepers organization has been in an awkward position. If there is another war, there is no way that the Oath Keepers organization will be able to It will fall outside the six major organizations. According to my father's wishes, the next leader needs to be someone who can restrain his desire to fight. My brother's desire to fight is quite strong, and his actions are a bit extreme, which is completely inconsistent with my father's expectations. "
"So the next leader position will be inherited by your brother?" I thought for a while and then asked: "Then why can't it be you? If I read correctly, you should also be the kind of person who doesn't like war, right? "
