Cosma Empire

Chapter 612: Chess Pieces

Maggs' words made Durin realize that although he had left the vortex in the hinterland of the empire, the old man's attention was always on himself. He is very aware of some of the responsibilities he currently bears, but Magus's attention is obviously beyond his due attention. When a person pays attention to you all the time, there are only two possibilities.

The first possibility is that he attaches great importance to you and hopes to see your growth every day, know what you have done recently, what gains you have made, whether you have made mistakes, and whether you have learned any lessons. This is a kind of love and affection that the elders have for the younger generation they like.

The second possibility is that he is wary of you. He doesn’t want you to stab him in the back when he is taking a nap, so he must keep himself awake all the time and lock all your actions with his eyes. , Be careful of any behavior you may do to him, he doesn't trust you.

Du Lin will not naively think that if he does something and promises some bright prospects, Magus will pay attention to himself as his true successor. The things that Du Lin did were indeed remarkable things at his level, and some things even rose to the level of national strategy. But Du Lin is also very clear that the old man sitting across from him has personally kicked the royal family loyal to his ancestors from the throne of power. It can be said that power is overwhelming the world.

There is no one with more power than him in the empire, whether it is Durin or the nobles and big capitalists outside, the resources they have are a joke to Magus. When people were still satisfied with wealth of tens of millions or hundreds of millions, the national finances that Magus could control had already been calculated in billions as the settlement unit. The resources and contacts he has mastered can cover every corner of the empire, and all the materials they possess will not be taken seriously by Magus.

So what else can Du Lin achieve?

The things he did, the ideas he came up with, his brain!

He has a dangerous brain, which he himself knows very well, so he can clearly realize that Magus's attention to him is definitely not love, but a kind of surveillance, a kind of precaution.

He smiled without changing his face, as if he hadn't thought about so many things at this moment, and continued what Magus said very naturally, "I got some mines and some land. When I was the mayor, I was too busy, and I couldn’t feel lonely when I was free. I just heard that there is a green home development plan in the west. In order to show my lofty patriotic sentiments, I found something there. Do."

Maggs was confused for a while. He didn't know about the green homeland development plan at all, and it was impossible for anyone in the cabinet to dare to hide it from him. But he quickly realized that it must be Memnon's handwriting. That damned horse dealer is really annoying. If Magus hadn't had his own ideas and plans, he would have made Memnon completely disappear in this world long ago. Who would talk to him so much? thing?

The remnants of the Scarlet Dawn led by him have been causing chaos in the vast and sparsely populated area in the west. They had previously launched an armed uprising to separate the entire west, and fled abroad after being suppressed. Later, it changed and formed the Progressive Party, which took over the sphere of influence in the west. According to ordinary people's thinking, Memnon might be killed before he did these things, but Magus is not an ordinary person. Even if Memnon is killed, there are window farmers and chimney farmers, these endless characters will challenge the nerves of the ruling party of the empire one after another.

Instead of allowing them to continuously evolve while being crushed time after time, and master more advanced and excellent methods, it is better to simply let these clowns climb onto the table, let them stand under the spotlight, and let the world naturally eliminate this group of deformities Twisted bug.

From the policies that Memnon came up with, Magus has already foreseen his end, and he will not have a good end. He colludes with capitalists and seems to have a very outstanding performance in the early stage of development, but he lacks tamping Foundation. Once something goes wrong, the capitalists will immediately abandon the loser. After losing the support of the capitalists and the soil for local survival, it is the best time to take action against this group of people.

Originally, this opportunity might have to wait for several years or longer, and Muggs might not even see that day coming, but Du Lin suddenly went to the west to let Muggs see the dawn. If the scourge of Du Lin reaches the west, will it be able to catalyze the downfall of the Progressive Party and make this day come earlier?

This is very likely, because Durin's ambitions are very large. It's not that he couldn't help but want to go to the west, but went to the west to find "opportunities".

Smart people will always like it, but they are also afraid of staying with smart people, because smart people can understand the thoughts of smart people. It seems that the word "smart" is very common and common, but in fact, this word can connect hundreds of people in the whole society. Ninety-nine ninety-nine percent of the people are completely screened out, leaving less than one ten thousandth of the people!

Durin was going to the west, and Magus's first thought at the time was that Durin would jump out, because the current situation in the empire is only the west that is most suitable for "starting from scratch". Although Magus didn't want to admit this, he had to admit that in the eyes of those simple cowboys in the west, empire was just a very general word. Many people have never left the west in their entire lives, and they rarely enjoy the support and tilt from various policies of the empire, so it is impossible for these people to keep the concept of empire in their hearts all the time.

They will smile honestly at whoever benefits them.

Whoever makes them hungry, they will let the other party see their "ideas"!

Du Lin knew that he could not achieve the position he wanted in the new party, so he wanted to jump out. After Magus realized this, he already had corresponding countermeasures. He could not let such an ambitious and dangerous person grow stronger in the empire day by day, unless he was willing to accept a rope tied around his neck. But he would never agree, just as Mags would never agree.

He smiled and nodded, "The west is the next place that the empire urgently needs to develop. There are large areas of land and abundant resources, but economic construction has always been the last place for the empire. Are you interested in finding a place in the west? A mayor, is this compensation?"

Magus's thinking has always been active, he can think while talking, and he can even change his mind constantly. He quickly rejected his previous ideas, if he could pull Du Lin back into the camp of the new party, even if it was only superficially. So if he wants to realize his ambitions and desires, he must do one thing - let the western economy develop rapidly and vigorously.

The west is not the city of Odis, and it is impossible to have the miracle that happened in the city of Odis. It will take at least twenty years to transform the entire west. Twenty years later, Du Lin, who is in his forties, wants to start from scratch at that time, fearing that it will be impossible when he dies of old age. Of course, those who should be on guard should still be on guard, and those who should be kept behind should be kept. Unless it is a last resort, Magus is really unwilling to give up Du Lin and his magical brain.

Du Lin and Magus looked at each other for a few seconds before Du Lin shook his head and said, "No, my current status is a bit special, and it is not convenient for me to re-enter politics in a short time. Wait until the next election year talk later."

Magus's pupils contracted slightly, and he nodded with a smile. As for whether he agrees with Du Lin's statement, that's another matter.

The two quickly brought the topic back from Du Lin's personal matters to the issues they had talked about before. Magus arranged the pieces on the chessboard neatly, with a meticulous attitude and focused expression, as if he was doing a very good job. important, "Soon the Capet family will be in a hurry, and the pressure on your side will be heavier at that time. He has a lot of contacts that he can leverage, and all aspects will bring you a lot of pressure and threats. You What you have to do is to protect yourself and at the same time show their persecution to you."

"These people have formed a net and are entangled with each other. As long as the problem of the Capet family becomes a social problem, we can start to attack him." Magus picked up a pawn representing a soldier and put it When it was where it should be, "The Capet family...", and then picked up a few others, and placed them neatly one by one, "The Anthem Consortium...", and then those horses and siege equipment, "Northern nobles relationship chain..."

When he finally picked up the "King" and put it back on the last position, he looked up at Du Lin, "Noble capitalist!"

"I have another request, and I hope you can help me complete it. I know you have paid a lot, but I have not given you anything, but I think our goals and ideals are the same."

When Du Lin returned home from Magus's villa, Frena was already curled up on the sofa watching the new issue of tape. There was no such thing as a TV in the Royal Academy for students to pass the time. It has always been known for its strictness. The school can't wait to tear the students in half, half study, half rest, and when the time is up, let the two halves switch and study forever.

She glanced at Du Lin, then withdrew her gaze, and continued to concentrate on watching the somewhat dull pictures on the TV screen, laughing out loud from time to time.

Du Lin took off his coat, went to sit on the edge of the sofa, and asked, "Why do you want to come here today?" He gave Frena the key, but I heard that she never came alone.

"The imperial capital is just that big. Everyone is discussing about Mr. Du Lin and his enemies. Of course I will come and have a look."...
