Cosma Empire

The old man was the first to speak. He thought for a long time before licking his dry lips. In fact, fruit and water cups had been placed on the coffee table long ago, but none of them had ever drank water or gnawed a piece of fruit. The old man stood up politely, bowed and introduced himself, "My name is Ratty, and people call me Father Ratty. I have lived in Illian for nearly fifty years, so I can be said to be a qualified local people." Scott, who was sitting on the side, nodded, and he explained a little bit for Du Lin.

In the early days, Illion was not a bustling city. There was almost nothing here, except for weeds taller than a person, low bushes that could never be pulled clean, and countless mosquitoes. The only thing that makes people satisfied, or a little fancy, is that there is a deep-water port here, where large ships can be docked. At that time, there were not many deep-water ports on the east coast, and even fewer could be used. There were only three, which are now the three most prosperous cities on the east coast.

At that time, many freighters docked here in Illian, and the goods needed to be transported to other places after unloading. Therefore, many people at the bottom of society took a fancy to the fact that it was easy to find jobs here, and gathered near here to form a similar community of raw lake area. They were the first residents of Irian. As more and more people lived here, the inconvenient living conditions made them decide to renovate here. At that time, the New Party had begun to exert its power quietly in politics. A nobleman who had failed in the political struggle moved his fief near the core of the empire here. He looked at the fief in despair and took out his few Savings are given to the laborers who live here, and let them build a small town here.

From then on, Illian was truly born. In the ensuing Great Patriotic War, the unlucky nobleman was conscripted into the army again and became the commander of the Second Detachment of the Navy's Third Fleet, sleeping on the bottom of the sea forever. After the New Party came to power, Illian, the unclaimed land, was controlled by the New Party, and a large amount of money was invested in transformation, becoming one of the main ports to defend the empire's sea frontier. In the past ten years, the empire opened up two other super military ports before releasing Illian from militarized control.

With an excellent foundation, the development of Irian is very rapid, especially the consistency of the governance concepts of the two previous urban managers, which has brought great benefits to the construction and economic development of the Irian area. One policy after another Consistency has ensured that this area has not stopped on the high-speed road of development and construction, and that is why Illian is today.

Du Lin didn't know much about these things. Scott explained a little bit and he immediately understood. It's not so much that Illian has a unique geographical environment, but rather that there are two practical city managers.

After the two whispered to each other, the old man continued: "The compatriots living here may live in a different environment from compatriots living in other places, so you may not understand our pursuit. We don't need any great or What an amazing life, we just want to live here peacefully and spend this life. My knowledge is not very high, do you understand me when I say that?"

Du Lin nodded his head. This is a vaccination, and it also shows that there are smart people among this group of Guarts. This wise man cleverly used this sentence to block a lot of unrealistic things that Du Lin might promise next,

To explain Papa Latti's words in a simple and popular way, it is "Don't talk nonsense with me, I just want to be practical". He held up his hands and asked Latti to sit down, and then replied: "You are an elder, and all elders should be respected by people. I understand what you said, and this is what I need to do. Now we Let's not mention this topic for now, you will see it with your own eyes in the future." He looked at the other two, and they all shook their heads before Du Lin started his speech.

"In the ancient history of our Gualt people, there are many proverbs full of wisdom, one of which is - when a nail penetrates your palm, even if you pull out the nail, it will leave a scar." He paused , gave the three representatives a time to think and understand, and when they had almost understood, Du Lin continued: "Although the riots that occurred this afternoon have subsided, the negative impacts still exist, and we still need to pay attention Another thing, who directed all this?"

He nodded affirmatively, "I used the word director because I think all of this is a conspiracy. A small group of people tried to stir up a turmoil that shocked the entire empire through assassination, framing, framing and other means. To achieve their ulterior and despicable purpose. It is conceivable that if I did not quell this riot today, the navy would definitely step in to suppress the riot, and many Guarts would die in this completely unreasonable and necessary conflict So, who is the beneficiary?"

"It won't be me, and it can't be me, so who would it be? Who organized you to convey your demands through such irrational actions? Who stood up to mislead you when everyone was still just guessing and doubting Yours? I don’t know, but I’m sure you know, some people know. These people’s purpose is very despicable. They hope that there will be a rift between you and me, mutual distrust and even hostility. In order to achieve this goal, they are even willing to sacrifice the lives of their compatriots. Life to accomplish this purpose, your enemy is not me, but these people."

"And this is precisely the reason why I am talking to you. This matter cannot end like this. Someone must pay for it. Those who hurt you, those who deceived you, and assassinated Mr. Abion people."

"I haven't talked to or met Mr. Abien, but I know from other people that he is a very good guy. He has a very gentle temper and has been running for the rights and welfare of his compatriots. He is a role model for all Guarts, and I have always hoped to sit down and have a good chat with him." Du Lin's voice was very low, full of a kind of bitter regret, "Unfortunately, this wish is no longer It can’t be realized, I think I should do something, that is to find the murderer, for him, for all those who have been hurt, to find the lost fairness and justice, and to avenge them!"

Du Lin's words were very emotional, and the content was very moving. Latti lowered his head and rubbed his dry eyes, the cloudy eyes were slightly red, and his lips trembled slightly, "You are very correct, This is also what we hope. We should resolve this accident in a friendly and rational manner, and I will convey your statement back."

Du Lin glanced at Scott, who was a little puzzled, "The eighth district is about to break ground, and I am actively preparing to bid for more than one project. Once I succeed, I am willing to do my best for all the compatriots living in Illian City." We provide a well-paid job. I will refer to the salary standard set by the trade union and even slightly improve it. The working time is eight hours a day, and the hourly salary will be raised to at least 15 cents. There will be lunch and dinner, and others Welfare."

"Of course, all this will be discussed in detail after we find the murderer and the rioters this morning. As for how to find the murderer and the rioters, I believe Mr. Scott and the city hall he represents will give us The perfect answer, isn't it?"

Scott nodded again and again, "Yes, what Mr. Dooling said is exactly what I want to say. We will definitely deal a heavy blow to any criminals and criminal acts that destroy the prosperity, stability and tranquility of the Irian region. We You will never let a bad person go, and you will never misjudge any good person. You must be very clear about this, Mr. Ratty. Next, our investigation team will go deep into the fifth district to collect evidence and investigate. I hope you can let everyone Cooperate, even if any problems may arise, you need to deal with them calmly and rationally. You can find me, or Mr. Du Lin!"

While speaking, Scott smiled, pulled Du Lin aside, and said with some complaints: "You didn't tell me that you would bid in the eighth district!"

Doolin handed him a cigarette, "Now I've said it."

"Damn it, I have to respond to the mayor about this matter, you don't want to disclose it to the outside world..." He said hesitantly lit a cigarette in front of the flame of the Durin lighter, "Even if you agree To enter the bidding, you have to have money, this is not something that can be done with hundreds of thousands, and you also said that you have more than one project to bid for?"

The eighth district is the main area for the economic construction of the Illian region. The city managers in the city hall will put all their energy on the construction of the eighth district. With the birth of color film technology and the completion of the final stage of research and development of the "miniature black and white video home player" project in the Imperial Research Institute, Irian's managers believe that in the next ten to twenty years, , entertainment-shaped consumption will become the mainstream in the economic field.

Especially during the period after the war, people were still at a loss and the social mood was low. Entertainment can relieve the pain caused by the war, and it can also improve people's living standards. So the eighth district is to grab the front of the entire empire and completely pull the most popular part of entertainment-movies into Illian's camp.

This eighth district, which was built entirely for filming, will become a film sanctuary for the entire empire and even the entire world in the future. People will form a brand new economic circle here, radiating the entire world!

Such an important project cannot be entered by anyone who wants to come in. There are many coordination issues involved in it. Even if Du Lin has money, he may not be eligible to participate in the bidding! Besides, even if Du Lin is really rich, there are many richer people in this world than Du Lin. It would be very difficult to give him one project, but he actually wants many?
