Cosma Empire

Chapter 656 Conviction

"Mr. Du Lin, we meet again." The Vice Chairman of the Safety Committee originally had a trace of doubts about Du Lin in his heart, but when he saw Du Lin taking the initiative to "take advantage", that trace of doubt disappeared. Before he became the vice chairman, he also switched from outside work to inside work very standard, and finally climbed to a high position. There are also many prisoners who have been dealt with by his hands. He is well aware of the psychology of these criminals, that is, as far away as possible from people like them.

It is impossible for a person to never make mistakes. This may not be so absolute, but it is absolute for most people. When you do a bad thing and face someone who happens to give you great punishment for doing something bad, you will always subconsciously close your thoughts and inner activities, and keep yourself in a very tense mood all the time During the conversation, I kept telling myself not to talk, not to look around, and not to let the other party find out that I was suspicious.

This state can be maintained for a short time, but not for a long time. At least so far, he has not seen anyone who can maintain this state for a long time, except for those perverted serial killers.

He doesn't think Du Lin is such a person, because a person like Du Lin is not a pervert, so he must have experienced many things that ordinary people have never experienced, encountered many ups and downs and overcome them, and then he has a kind of life that ordinary people cannot have. attitude and attitude. Durin was so young, he couldn't have done it, and for the first sixteen years of his life, he was only a farmer's son, he couldn't do it!

Du Lin smiled and took off his hat and nodded, "Thank you very much for taking us on board. You must know that the fastest train will be in three days. I don't want to waste too much time here." Glancing at the empty booth beside him, he asked very politely, "Can I sit here?"

His Excellency the Vice Chairman nodded, "Of course, this is your freedom."

This is a temporary train from Washiu to Vallier. People from the Security Committee and some military personnel are on board, because the seven gold diggers on the scene unfortunately all died, which made their actions difficult. Something went wrong. But fortunately, one survived. Although this guy is not a gold digger but an agent of the Security Committee, it doesn't matter, as long as he knows something. The problem now is that the agent named Eric was also injured and has fallen into a coma.

The medical conditions here are not enough for him to recover quickly, so everyone needs to go back to Vallier before making a decision. As for whether it will make the people of the Freedom Front smell the wind and escape, it is not so important. Even if the other party moves quickly, they will leave enough traces. That was a large group of people who lacked horses and fast-moving props. If they didn't want to lose the small but heavy supplies, they could only choose to use their legs to move them.

What these two groups didn't expect was that when they were about to leave, Du Lin took the initiative to join him, and hoped that they could bring him back to Vallier. For this request, both the Security Committee and the military readily agreed. The journey of at least two or three hours is enough for them to observe Du Lin at close range on the road.

After Du Lin sat down, a middle-aged man who looked like an officer without a military cap sat beside the Vice Chairman with a smile. He even squeezed in, and the Vice Chairman could only move a little away place. After sitting down, he put his hat on the table between the booths, smiled and extended his hand to Du Lin, "Hello, I am Colonel of the Western Division of the Imperial Army, Main."

Du Lin shook hands with him, and said with a smile: "I've always heard that soldiers in the Western Military Region are made of steel, but after seeing Colonel Manin, I realized that this sentence is true.

"

The background of this compliment is the Civil War. At the beginning, all the south of the central part of the empire fell, and the southern military region was unable to organize any effective resistance measures. It could only watch helplessly as the federal army advanced step by step to the central part of the empire, threatening the imperial capital. Then there was a major reversal in which the main force of the Federation was besieged. The Central and Western Military Region contributed a lot of strength. They restrained the Federal Army's crazy attack in the main basin of the Agate River in the west-central part, allowing the Federal Army to use the inland river as a transportation route. The "Drifting Project" of the "Drifting Project" was completely defeated, so in order to cover up the concept that the Imperial Army is incompetent, the official slogan of the Iron West Army was launched.

Du Lin's words made Man Yin very happy. After the two chatted casually, the vice chairman also started to interject, "Mr. Du Lin, Washiu Town is so far away from the big city, is there any benefit here worth coming here in person? ?”

Du Lin smiled and nodded, "Benefits? No, no, your Excellency, you may not understand that some things are more worthy of our possession than those colorful things, such as faith! I came here to meet the locals The compatriots who are willing to raise funds to establish a fellow countryman association have negotiated a business with Washiu Town by the way. I want to open a farm here, and I need the help of local farmers. Naturally, the farm cannot exist without the local people. This is why I am here. the goal of."

This purpose makes sense, and Du Lin did not conceal the fellowship, which made the vice chairman believe that Du Lin was "innocent".

The hometown association is a troublesome thing in the eyes of many people. If it is a religious organization, it cannot be wrong, because all the hometown associations will have statues of gods and epic stained glass. Even on weekends, believers will gather in the church of the fellow countrymen's association to pray to the gods to ask for blessings, or to repent or something. This is indeed a religious organization.

The most important thing is not to break the law. In the early days, the empire’s attitude towards these defeated nations was to completely destroy all their things, including the glory and self-confidence that may have existed in the past, as well as culture and belief. Looking at the history of civilization in the entire world, except for the Eastern civilization that everyone does not understand, in the history of Western civilization, human wars are often caused by different beliefs.

Some people believe in the god of water and believe that water nourishes all things and that water is the source of life.

Some people believe in Vulcan, and believe that fire brings a safe environment to human beings and inspires human civilization.

Their beliefs are actually correct. This can be said to be an interpretation of nature, but the problem lies in the moment when the people who believe in the god of water and the people who believe in the god of fire meet for the first time.

"The god of water is the greatest, and water can extinguish fire. Fireballs falling from the sky will be extinguished when they fall into the sea, so the god of water must be the strongest."

"Fart, Vulcan is the greatest, even a violent storm can't extinguish the lava in the crater, Vulcan is the greatest!"

"Don't leave after school!"

"Whoever leaves is not a descendant of Vulcan!"

As a result, wars based on faith and purpose emerged, and everyone fought so hard that in the end they might forget why they fought.

If you want these defeated nations to forget their past and fully integrate into the big family of the empire, then the unification of cultural beliefs is an inevitable result. Of course, there is also the credit of the church. With the emergence of the new era, freedom of belief has also become the ruling party's respect for society, and the loosening of the shackles has brought various belief cultures into a period of flooding. It's not a big deal for Du Lin to hold a hometown association, but his scale is a little bigger.

But if the fellow countrymen's association is really just a purely religious organization... children don't believe it. This group of Guarts who were brainwashed by Durin crazily believed that Durin was the Messiah in the Apocalypse. Yes, I don’t know when they made an apocalypse, saying that it was when the Guart Dynasty existed. There is something that predicts some things hundreds of thousands of years later, in which it is vaguely mentioned that a Messiah will save the Guart people who are in confusion and lead everyone to stand up again.

So faith not only enriched their hearts, but also armed their minds.

Look at those bastard agents, almost all of them are members of the local association, they are more pure than gangs, they are simply a group of thugs in sheep's clothing!

Your Excellency the Vice Chairman wisely staggered the topic, "I heard that you recently planted crops in a large area of ​​enclosure in the west. Is growing crops more profitable than selling alcohol?"

"Of course!" Du Lin's answer was firm, "Not all industries can generate millions of transactions every year. I discovered this, so I occupied this territory before others reacted. Then there is no one to compete with me.”

Neither the vice-chairman nor Colonel Manin could understand when planting crops was such a big business. After talking to Du Lin for a few short words, they felt that their thinking could not keep up with Du Lin's rhythm. .

Maybe, he was bragging!

"I heard that someone died?" Du Lin asked seemingly casually, and Manin nodded, but the expression of the vice chairman was a little heavy.

He sighed, his expression softened a little, "In order to defend this country, there must always be some fools who know that there may never be a second step if they step out, and they will take the next step with a smile, there must always be a little It's kind of stupid to believe in something, isn't it?"

"If each of us is a smart person and knows that we should not take huge risks to pay for nothing in return, will we still have the peaceful life we ​​have now?"

"All peace is maintained by the sacrifice of a group of fools. In my heart, they are fools, but they are also the greatest heroes of the empire!"

The expressions of Du Lin and Manin also became heavy. Although the vice chairman didn't say it clearly, he confirmed Du Lin's words in this way, and the atmosphere in the deck became sticky and the air became heavy. .

After a while, Du Lin sighed, "I think I should do something!"...
