Since Du Lin gave the tailors who moved to Otis City a trick to industrialize clothing, there are now many brand stores on the roadside. These brand clothing stores no longer measure each customer. Then tailor-made, they will only tell consumers where the size that suits you is hung on the shelf.
Without distinctive customization and meticulous craftsmanship, the cycle of owning a piece of clothing has changed from three to five days in the past to three seconds now—all the money spent on those clothes has changed the moment you pay.
But like Dulin, the great nobles still have many craftsmen serving them, providing personalized customization to ensure that every piece of clothing and accessories they wear is unique.
Dove is responsible for customizing all of Dulin's clothes and accessories. Every quarter, she will send Dulin's latest body measurements to the housekeepers in each manor, and then they will customize Dulin according to the latest styles.
In accessories, small logos such as DC will most likely be added to ensure a certain degree of independence and the identity of the user.
Pure gold lines as thick as ordinary steel wires were inlaid everywhere in these accessories in a pattern. Ophelia had packed these things for Dulin, and she could tell at a glance that they belonged to Dulin.
Although she was a little confused in her heart, she did not show it immediately. This was also thanks to the high-density newspapers reporting on Du Lin's past "corrupt" private life during this period, which gave the little girl a great deal of tolerance in this regard.
Besides, girls who come from aristocratic families have a very good understanding of the attitude towards aristocratic life.
After she came down from the second floor, she sat back next to Her Royal Highness. Melissa was standing not far away enjoying the exciting music with her classmates while twisting her enchanting body.
It's a carnival night, don't let spoilers ruin the mood.
On the other side, Du Lin had just arrived in the imperial capital and went to see Mags without taking any rest. Since he started on this road, he found that his leisurely life was gone forever. He lived in busyness and running around every day.
When he met Maggs, Maggs was not surprised by Dulin's visit. After asking the butler to bring a pot of tea, he poured a cup for Dulin, "What did the navy say?"
Dulin looked up at him, "Don't you know?" He said and smiled, "I thought some people in the navy were already on the side of the empire!"
Magus shook his head and said something else, "You are very smart, Dulin, you are the smartest young man I have ever met. Sometimes being too smart is not a good thing, it makes people scared, you know "Is there something about you in the agreement between us and the Navy?"
"Me?" Dulin was really surprised now. He didn't think he would have any special role between the Ministry of Defense and the Imperial Navy. This was obvious.
He is not an important official in the empire now, and he does not have the ability to influence the navy's choices or change cabinet policies, but Mags's words have implicated him. He lowered his head and thought seriously. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly looked up at Mags and asked, "Foundation?"
Mags showed a satisfied smile and nodded, "Yes, the Foundation. I used to think that this Foundation was just a small means you used to corrupt and collude with the military's top brass, although it can comfort you to a certain extent. It affects the mood of the active navy generals, but its greater role lies in the penetration of your personal influence into the navy."
Du Lin didn't speak, but listened quietly while holding the tea cup.
"So I need to thank you. The Patriotic Soldiers Foundation has solved a big problem for us. At the same time, I also have a request. The operation of the foundation should be handed over to people from the Ministry of National Defense. From today on, you can only do it in name." , speaking of this, Magus suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Of course when you need to pay, you still have to make some sacrifices."
In order to corrupt the Rear Admiral of Ilian Naval Base and win over more military personnel, Dulin launched a "Patriotic Soldiers Foundation" to help the families of soldiers who sacrificed their lives in the Civil War and to provide necessary services to active duty soldiers. In order to ensure the professionalism of the foundation, he promised to recruit more retired military officers, including general officers to serve as senior advisors and even directors of the foundation.
This little trick was very effective. It didn't cost much to get him into the good graces of the military, and it was true.
It has been five years, almost six years, since the Patriotic Soldiers Foundation was established. It has recruited three generals and many school officers in total. All these people need to do is take the money Dulin allocates to them every quarter, and then go to various military bases to offer condolences.
What these retired soldiers, especially generals, fear most is that they will lose the power in their hands and the ability to maintain their lives after retirement. The emergence of the foundation will give them no worries to the greatest extent. First of all, the foundation will give them very high salaries so that they can maintain a decent life after retirement. Secondly, the foundation's special service content will prevent them from completely leaving the circle in which they once lived.
They can wave their money to help all soldiers in need to maintain their influence in the military. Although their influence will continue to decline during this process, this is already much better than they imagined.
In this way, the Patriotic Soldiers Foundation becomes a good thing within a certain scope.
During this secret consultation with the Navy, the commissioner told Mags and Kubal what they thought. In addition to the militant faction that must be purged among the existing high-level naval officials, some generals also need to be replaced. Retired. The influence of these generals on the Navy is too great, far higher than the influence of the Ministry of National Defense on the Navy. As long as they do not retire, the Ministry of National Defense will not be able to truly control the entire Navy.
So this creates a disagreement, let the generals retire
Who will support their future lives
How to deal with the psychological gap caused by their loss of power
If these problems cannot be solved by a suitable method, the top brass of the navy may not sincerely return to the embrace of the empire. Therefore, at this time, the role of the Patriotic Soldiers Foundation is reflected.
The veteran generals who have retired continue to maintain their influence and connections in the military through a unique way, and they are even more popular than in the past.
After they lost the ability to fight for power, these people waved the money that everyone loved in their hands. Even the generals who had had some conflicts with them resolved the minor problems between them and reconciled.
They will not interfere with the power of active officers and control of the army, and at the same time they can reward the army at every turn. Who can hate them
As a result, Dulin's Patriotic Soldiers' Foundation became the designated place for retirement by senior navy officials. They unanimously requested to join this foundation, and as long as they were not suspected of treason or harming the interests of the imperial military, the Ministry of Defense could not use any excuse. and excuses to limit their lives and actions after retirement.
These generals have regarded the foundation as a continuation of their current lives.
This item was also written into a top-secret document.
There was a slight fluctuation in Mags's heart. He knew that this foundation was a small creation of Du Lin's unintentional move, but this unintentional move came in handy today. Being a smart man and having the good luck of the goddess of luck, Mags felt a little scared.
Once these things are brought out as black material, Dulin will most likely be labeled as colluding with the military in private. This label is very fatal politically and will ruin Dulin's future. So now he has to solve this problem for Du Lin, hand over the actual management of the foundation to the Ministry of National Defense, and then let him continue to name and make donations, plus some other small means, to completely remove him.
This lucky or unlucky little bastard...!
Magus sighed. He would not tell Dulin how much he had helped him, and he also planned to give him a slap to let him know that on this road, one wrong step could kill him, but the crooked footprints before, It will also kill you!
He must be taught a lesson!
Dulin scratched his head. He didn't know that Mags had considered a lot of things in such a short moment. He just instinctively showed a harmless smile, "As an Imperial man, I always feel the gratitude of those who sacrificed their lives for the Empire." Soldiers, this is what I should do." Magus just wanted him to get out, but his tone suddenly changed, "But..."
"However, my young shoulders may not be able to shoulder such an important mission on my own. How about this, I name myself as a director and transfer the entire foundation to the Department of Social Services for free. The money I should give will definitely not be less, but all my Everyone has to evacuate, what do you think?”
Mags pointed at him without saying a word. This little bastard had a very keen sense of smell. Within a few words, he immediately realized that there was a huge danger in this area, and he decisively pulled away, which was very similar to his style.
Du Lin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Actually, I have another thing I want to ask you about this time."
Magus looked at his watch and saw it was lukewarm. Maybe Dulin escaped. He was a little inexplicably unhappy because he couldn't teach this little bastard a lesson. "I'm older now, and the doctor told me to go to bed early every day." , try to be brief.”
"About the Chamber of Commerce..."
After some discussions with Magers about the programs he would implement in Ambiro State, he took his leave.
It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening. He originally wanted to stay at Mags' house to spend the night, but seeing Mags's lack of interest, he didn't open his mouth. He would never know that Mags was actually in a good mood, but he ruined it.
Putting down his wrist, he ordered the driver, "Go back to the villa."
