Cosma Empire

Henry seemed to have believed what Du Lin said, and the hesitation between his brows was resolved immediately. He looked at Du Lin and smiled, apologizing for his words and behavior just now, "I just...", he shook his head, " You know, my father has a bad temper sometimes, so..., I hope you can understand."

Du Lin looked at him with the eyes of caring for mentally handicapped children, "It's okay, it's not important."

These things are indeed unimportant, and Du Lin thinks that Henry is a little mentally handicapped. Of course, this may have something to do with the low level he has come into contact with. The western world is called "the world". In fact, the biggest power holders here are the governor and the Progressive Party. Their power and rank are a little too low compared to those in the imperial capital. Henry has been working and living in the west since he took over the family business, and he doesn't understand or read some signals from the top of the empire.

Dooling believed that his father's friend's so-called complaints did not mean that he was involved in the collusion with the capitalists in the West, but because this matter was involved in a high-level political struggle, for two reasons.

The first reason is that after the Ministry of National Defense formulates a strategic plan, it needs to be approved by the cabinet. Magus has a lot of power. It can be said that the military and government have grasped it. It’s just that he doesn’t have so much energy to take care of all aspects. That’s why there are cabinets and ministers. and various official agencies. These people will handle the complicated and complicated matters for Magus, and the last things that need to be signed by Magus will still be presented to Magus for his signature.

Even if he doesn't need to sign, he still needs to know, especially the current turmoil in the west, which has become one of the most concerned areas of the cabinet. The cabinet will not let go of any troubles, so how can it be possible to ignore the modification of the plan formulated by the Ministry of Defense? Even if someone doesn't want Magus to know, the Minister of Defense will let Magus know, because he doesn't want to take the blame for any of his subordinates. He told Magus about the change, and if something goes wrong in the future, it will be Magus' problem or his The problem with his subordinates is that he is just a mouthpiece for "incompetence".

There are plenty of such incompetent mouthpieces in official institutions, but that doesn't mean they're really incompetent.

Since the cabinet can pass and Magus can nod, then the problem is not someone's fault, but Magus's. The plan he agrees to, his opinion is the final opinion, and he should be responsible for the final opinion.

The second reason is that the high-level people are now fighting fiercely in invisible places. The populist faction headed by Powell and the aristocratic faction headed by Magus are fighting openly and secretly. The next party seat and the prime minister's seat are the core conflicts between the two sides. New Party insiders. The guy who sent the message for Henry was very likely to be caught in such a struggle, or he had already expressed his side before this happened. There is no distinction between right and wrong in political struggle, only between the enemy and ourselves. Then when the things he promoted had a reversal of public opinion, this happened to give his political opponents an excuse to attack him.

Also, this is just complaining, not heckling,

Not chasing blame, just complaining.

Du Lin believed that the guy complained that the steel tycoon had dragged him into the whirlpool, but he definitely didn't complain that he was going to be unlucky, otherwise he would have made a more decisive decision, and it was impossible to let Henry know. Du Lin felt that this might be a test from Henry's father, trying to see if his son had grown up in this way.

Here, Du Lin sighed sincerely for Henry's father. This bastard didn't realize such an obvious problem at all, so he can only live in the West in his life.

Of course, Henry should also thank Du Lin well, otherwise he would not be able to get along in the west under the name of the second son of a steel tycoon, and he would never even try to compete with his brother for family property in his life.

Today Henry brought Du Lin here for this matter. Now that his matter is settled, it is Du Lin's turn.

Last time, Du Lin planned to find some time to have a private chat with Henry about the Earth God Sect. He was not easy to speak last time because there were too many people, and now there are only the two of them, and Du Lin thinks Henry is a good talker, so he needs to ask some questions clearly.

After less than ten seconds of awkward silence, Du Lin spoke, "Do you know the Earth God Sect?"

Henry froze for a moment, then nodded and admitted, "Yes, I know, why, did they go looking for you too?"

"You mean they have looked for you?" Du Lin touched the beard on his chin. This will become his troubles in the future, because his beard is a bit thick, but he doesn't want to have a blue chin. Dove told him that there was a very good hair removal clinic in Illian, which was very convenient, and although it hurt for a while, the annoying hairs were indeed gone, and they would not grow back.

Henry's expression became a little ambiguous, he lowered his head and clenched his hands against his lips and coughed, "What should I say?" He raised his head and searched for some words in his brain, "This is a very interesting Organization, you can meet a lot of people here, of course I think their cook is good, and the activities are also well organized. By the way, are they inviting you to the next party?"

Du Lin felt that this might really be a fool. No wonder his elder brother was doing business outside, which required a shrewd brain, and he, a poor mentally handicapped child, was sent to the west to provide for the elderly. His contribution is no less than that of his elder brother, I hope he can be happy all his life!

"Yes, they invited me, but I'm not sure if they have any other intentions, so I need to find someone who knows.", Du Lin decided to temporarily throw away some thoughts about Henry in his mind , and intends to regard Henry as his good friend, "How long have you joined the Earth God Sect?"

"About two years."

"Do they have any means of collecting membership fees? Or holding auctions in the name of religion or charity?" This is also a means for some illegal organizations under the banner of religion to make money. People always have love, The richer people have more love, this is also one of the most contradictory aspects of human nature.

Those capitalists may use various means to exploit as much as 25 cents from workers, but when they need them to do charity, they will generously donate hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of money, saying that they are nice guy? That's the devil's joke, but if they're bad people, they did act for charity, no matter how it ends.

Henry shook his head and said: "No, there is no such thing as you imagined, do you know what we all call the Earth God religion?" Du Lin shook his head, and he laughed heartily and said: "We call the Earth God religion It is called the Religion of Entertainment, they hold a grand party every month, you need to dress up a little bit, wear some props that can cover your features, such as a mask. Then we will enter a huge party scene, then All you need to do is to have fun.”

"Didn't they ask you anything?"

"Requirement? No, no, that's why everyone is willing to join, entertainment to death!" Henry raised his finger and pointed to the ceiling, with a happy smile on his face as if a believer prayed devoutly in front of a shrine and received a response from the gods.

The more this was the case, the more Du Lin felt that there was something wrong with the Earth God Sect.

A grand mask party is held every month, and such a party can make Henry, the second son of a steel tycoon, a rich son, feel interesting, so the cost of holding such a party is probably a staggering figure. Once a month, twelve times a year, where the money for the party held by the Earth God Sect comes from, why they hold such a party, whether there is any person or organization supporting their behavior, these are all unknown.

"I believe there must be some people who don't want to join the Earth God Sect, so do you know what happened to those who didn't join?"

Henry recalled, and said: "Few people would refuse, but some people did not want to participate. Anyway, they didn't encounter any trouble. I remember that several people left the west, that's it."

At the same time, in an inconspicuous city in the south of the empire, Mr. Roel walked into the central bank of the empire wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a windbreaker with a turned-up neckline. He has endured it for a long time, more than half a month. , The news that his mine can't dig anything has also been thoroughly spread. Those creditors searched for him everywhere, and issued a reward order of 5,000 yuan for him. Anyone who brought him alive to the designated places in several cities could get a reward of 5,000 yuan.

He had to leave the empire immediately, it was too dangerous here, and his initial idea of ​​returning the money he got through fraudulent insurance to those creditors disappeared in these days. How could the money be returned to those people? He still planned to rely on the money to continue working hard in the federation as start-up capital.

"I want to transfer money to this account." Mr. Roel coughed, and he put a federal account on the table. This was an account he asked his wife who had gone to the federation to register. With the signing of the "Currency Memorandum of Understanding", the Reichsbank and the three major federal banks have opened cross-border and inter-bank transfer services. Of course, the speed of this transfer is a bit slow, and an additional fee of five thousandths is required. But in the moment before the good life begins again, these are not problems.

The bank staff recorded the account number with a smile. Customers like Mr. Roel who want to wrap themselves up are very common. Some people are about to wear a mask to the bank for a deposit of several hundred yuan, not to mention Mr. Roel’s dress Not amazing.

The staff picked up the phone and confirmed the correctness of the remittance account number, then nodded to Mr. Roel, "Dear sir, the account number you requested for remittance has been confirmed, please provide the remittance account number, and fill out this form Cross-border remittance certificate, I will facilitate the remittance for you."
