Cosma Empire

"Mr. Memnon, do you know? Just now, a western mine owner named Federer confessed how he evaded taxes through the operation of the Western Mining Association and you. I really can't imagine a very Reputable government officials can do such a thing, and even take the initiative to collude with some capitalists to harm the interests of the empire. Your behavior makes me feel very shameful." The people of the Western Military Region sat in Memnon's seat with a smile On the opposite side, he had a meeting record from the scene in his hand, and handed it to Memnon, "Perhaps now you want to talk about the turmoil in the west, and the joint tax evasion and embezzlement of these criminals to harm the national interests. "

He shrugged while speaking, "The content of this accusation is no longer about creating terrorist attacks, but about harming national interests. Mr. Memnon, it looks like you are in big trouble."

Memnon picked up the meeting minutes from the table with a blank expression, and he looked at them with a cold face, not missing every word in every line. He looked very slowly and attentively, and the person sitting opposite him did not urge him, but instead folded his hands on his chest, staring at Memnon interestingly, watching his reaction, he wondered if Memnon would Will become angry with embarrassment, or tremble with fear of being exposed for crimes. This is a person who is different from ordinary criminals. He is the leader of a party and the most prestigious politician in the West. Will he, like ordinary people, become weak in the face of inescapable evidence?

When Memnon's eyes fell on the last full stop of the last sentence of the entire meeting minutes, he breathed a sigh of relief, put the meeting minutes on the table, and looked at the opposite agent with a blank expression, " Let the person with the highest authority come here, I don't want to spend time here with a young man who can't make decisions. If you think these things can do anything to me, then I can only say, you are too naive.", Finished He shook his head and closed his eyes.

The young agent's face flushed abnormally for a moment. He was underestimated, but it was not the first time he had seen this kind of underestimation. The more powerful the big shots are, the more willing they are to talk to someone who can make the decision. In their words, this is not an admission of defeat, but a compromise, and a two-sided deal. They choose to plead guilty to some less serious crimes, confess some co-conspirators, and then get some convenience. After experiencing some punishments that hardly have much impact, they continue to calmly be a big shot in the upper class.

He doesn't like this kind of people, including their behavior, but the nature of the empire determines that certain things cannot be carried out in accordance with people's true thoughts. Ugly things will inevitably exist, and these are to highlight the ultimate beauty. .

"Wait, I'll notify my superiors now." The young man stood up with some emotion and walked towards the door. Just when he was about to disappear from Memnon's sight, his footsteps stopped for a while, and it seemed that he wanted to say something. But in the end nothing was said.

After a while, Colonel Amman walked into the room alone. His face was a little haggard. At first he felt that he had taken a big step away from the threshold of a major general, but he didn't expect the time to turn around in a few days and become Take a big step back. Those of his competitors are probably laughing from ear to ear now, and finally gave up some benefits to win this task.

All of a sudden, it turned into a high platform diving into a pool with a depth of only ten centimeters.

The moment he entered the water, his head almost exploded, and he was also covered in mud. If it's just an ordinary task failure, maybe it's because of a command problem, maybe it's because of other problems. But he succeeded, successfully picked up a bomb and smashed it headfirst, this kind of success is more terrifying than failure.

As an officer in the army, there are three things that you must never get involved in. Once you get involved in this life, you will probably be finished. The first thing is betrayal. To put it bluntly, it is betrayal. This is a restricted area for soldiers. Whoever dies, unless he wants to pull a team to do it himself, otherwise the new owner will not trust a traitor.

The second thing is massacres. No matter what the reason is for an officer to command a battle, as long as the battle is classified as a massacre, then all merits will turn into fatal mistakes in an instant. No matter emotionally or morally, people will not trust an officer who commanded and caused massacres. This is a matter of character and morality. alert.

It's a well-known fact that cold-blooded butchers do not end well.

The third thing is to use your position to seek benefits for yourself, or to deliver benefits for an organization. The federal invaders in the Civil War had made people aware of the necessary purity of the army. An army that was not pure enough had no combat effectiveness at all. This is why the Southern Military Region was reviled because they were indeed not pure enough at the time. In that decadent feudal empire period, the southern military region had very close contacts with many nobles. After the war, people attributed the rapid deterioration of the situation in the war to the issue of corruption—in fact, it was the imperial high-level order According to a reason found by the people, there is indeed such a situation. It happened that after the cabinet was formed, in order to gather the power in the hands of the generals and to reform the military, it incited public opinion to pay attention to the pure problems of the soldiers.

Now Colonel Manin is facing the massacre of one of the three major troubles. In some reports, he has become a devil in human skin. The two words ruthless and cruel seem to be inseparable from the description of him forever. Some military figures in the Ministry of National Defense also expressed their dissatisfaction with Manyin's use of the No. 2 gas incendiary bomb to cause massacres. In fact, the person who made the last dissatisfaction was the public relations person from the Bondica Military Industry Group. After the newspaper reported the massacre in the valley, the spearhead was not only directed at Colonel Manin's cruel and cruel massacre, but also pointed to the production of No. 2 poison gas by the Bondica Military Industry Group. Smoke bombs have lost humanity.

In order to save their face as soon as possible, the Bondica Military Industrial Group, in addition to tackling key problems in public opinion, let all the people understand that the poisonous gas of the No. It was pushed to Colonel Maine. According to the public relations department of the Bondica Military Industry Group, the No. 2 incendiary bomb is mainly used for export to warring countries. Although it is not stated in the document that it is prohibited to use it in the country, there has been some verbal communication with the imperial military. This ammunition can only be used to defend the sovereignty of the Empire and fight against invaders.

Then the Ministry of National Defense also expressed some opinions through unofficial channels. They believed that most of the members of the Freedom Front were from abroad, and they were aggressive and dangerous. Colonel Manin was in the process of choosing tactics and ammunition There were some mistakes, but it wasn't his main problem.

It is said that behind this incident, the Bondica Military Industry Group offered a huge discount of 10% to the Ministry of Defense next year's orders. As for whether it is true, no one can be sure. After all, such a secret matter, who dares to If you say you know, no one will see the sunshine of the next day.

Under the interference of various factors, Colonel Manin lost a lot of hair overnight. The only thing that can make him feel a little bit more comfortable now is that the Imperial Court Military Court and the Imperial Gendarmerie General Headquarters did not send him any orders to relieve him. power, or the news that he was to be judged. Although he bears some infamy, he may not be able to use the deeds of some people to find a breakthrough in the future. He has been comforting himself in the past few days.

In short, he is very irritable now.

An irritable person often cannot control his emotions well. As soon as he entered the room, he sat opposite Memnon with an impatient expression on his face. He pointed his finger on the table and made a rattling sound. , "What do you want to say? I'm sorry, I have a lot of things recently. If there are no things I'm interested in, I can't come to listen to you frequently and listen to things I don't like." He is warning Memnon, If Memnon can't come up with a substantive deal, he won't come back in a short time.

He was threatening Memnon, and now only such an approach could make him feel a little relaxed and comfortable. Sure enough, turning your own hurt into anger and then inflicting it on others is the best way to temporarily solve troubles and find happiness.

Memnon didn't get angry because he was angered. He shook his head with a smile, "Colonel Manyin, I am willing to plead guilty, but I have to discuss with my lawyer how to solve the follow-up problems. You need to restore your image and losses, then For you, my confession can obviously alleviate your current troubles. And I can also solve some of my troubles as soon as possible. We may all be punished for this, but I believe this is the best option we can choose. "

Colonel Manyin was a little moved. After thinking for a few minutes, he shook his head, "This is not enough, you know? These are not enough to change my current situation. I need more things."

Memnon also knew that it was impossible for Colonel Manin to agree as soon as he put forward his own conditions. The compromise of interests was essentially no different from the operation of a businessman. This was also a process of bargaining. He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I will let some people stand up and admit that they are responsible for some of the attacks, and I will donate a lot of money to the west through the channel of private equity funds in the next year and the next two years. In five million military expenses, in your name!"

If the first condition offered by Memnon was not enough to impress Manin, then the latter two conditions had already made him make a choice. Whether it is finding the attacker or a donation of five million, it is the best choice for his current situation.

He nodded decisively, "Give me your lawyer's phone number!"
