"How is Magus doing?" Kubal asked his butler while getting dressed.
The call was connected directly from the Seliville Embassy to Kubal's house. When he found out, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.
After Mags was attacked by a gunman, the local government of Sallyville blocked the disclosure of this news and temporarily restricted the activities and freedom of people around Mags in the name of "searching for the murderer", so the empire was still peaceful in the afternoon. Tranquility, no one would have thought that just across the sea, Mags was attacked.
It wasn't until Magus's vital signs stabilized after the surgery in the evening that Seriwell officially announced the lifting of freedom restrictions for the imperial entourage, and the news was worthy of being spread back.
Serivel's approach cannot be described as right or wrong. From the standpoint and perspective of a country, there is nothing wrong with their approach.
The rescue of Magus and the failure to rescue them will be two completely different strategies. What they are facing is not a small country similar to them, but a superpower. The role they play in this matter is not determined by themselves. The final say.
Fortunately, Maggs was able to successfully rescue him in the end. He was actually shot once, and the other bullets were blocked by the security personnel he was protecting. The security personnel also died on the spot.
The whole incident took less than three seconds from the outbreak to the end. So far, Serieville has not come up with any confirmed, conclusive details and inside information. They don't even know where the two gunmen are hiding, let alone No need to talk about who hired them and why Maggs was shot.
For this small neutral country that has always been very peaceful, this is so exciting and difficult!
The only good thing is that Mags is not seriously ill. The doctor believes that there are two possible reasons why Mags has not woken up. The first possibility is that the effect of the anesthetic has not ended, and the second possibility is that Magus's emergency self-protection when in danger shut down the connection between the body and the outside world, but soon his system would restart. In short, it would be better to wait.
It can be said that the shooting of Mags shocked the whole world. Kubal immediately convened an emergency cabinet meeting to discuss the next countermeasures. At the same time, the Ministry of National Defense disclosed a piece of news to the world - the Shining Star Empire entered a state of first-level combat readiness. , can start a war at any time.
The international situation became tense in an instant, and many politicians from various countries who had fallen asleep had to get out of bed, exhausted from poor sleep or exhausted from lack of physical strength. The tired and exhausted body returns to work.
The empire acted in such a high-profile manner not because it wanted to take this opportunity to escalate the situation and find a reason to provoke an international war. It was simply because Mags' identity was too special. It was so special that even if it was just a show, the empire had to take a serious attitude. treat this matter.
Magus, who overthrew the decadent feudal rule, was regarded by some as the "founding emperor" of the Shining Star Empire. His great achievements could be said to have brought a country that was riddled with contradictions and about to be divided back on the right path and brought it back to the right path. This country is becoming increasingly powerful based on a system that is different from the previous one. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the founding emperor.
Many people thought that Magus would eventually proclaim himself emperor. He held too much power and stayed in power for too long. Many people believed that once he stepped down from his position, some people who had been oppressed by him would The forces got a chance to breathe. As long as they have a little strength, they will definitely deal with Mags and avenge the pain of being hurt by Mags for so many years. This is inevitable.
The only thing he could do to avoid revenge that might affect his family was to proclaim himself emperor. As long as he proclaimed himself emperor, he and the Timamont family would be safe.
But even under such circumstances, Maggs still resolutely retired and resigned directly on the grounds that he was too senior. While people were in awe of him, they also had more respect for this old man, just like they looked at the giants of the era. of admiration.
When something happens to such an important figure and the empire fails to take action, the person who is embarrassed is none other than Kubal, the cabinet, and all the ministers!
Some intelligence departments of the military also mobilized, and for a while the world's attention was focused on Sallyville.
At the same time, Du Lin was also awakened by the phone call. He stroked Ophelia, who was also awakened, put on a piece of clothing and closed the bedroom door. He walked into the study and asked the housekeeper to bring a pot of tea. Then the door was locked.
The moment the call was connected, the expression on his face changed slightly, "Mr. Jack, I hope your news is worth getting out of bed!"
The caller was Mr. Jack from the Poker organization. Dulin has always had a close relationship with this organization. Although in recent years he has no need for Poker to help him launder the black money in his hands, the cooperation between the two parties has not ended. Stop.
Poker has many high-quality resources. Behind these large international money laundering bookmakers, or on the surface, there is a legal skin, and this skin is often very famous.
Most of them are active in the international capital market in the name of investment companies or real estate companies. They are angels in the eyes of many entrepreneurs. They constantly spend what others regard as valuable wealth to purchase a large number of industries and invest in a large number of emerging companies.
This is destined that they will definitely not give up their relationship with Dulin, and the cooperation between the two parties has been deepening.
As Dulin's value and status increased, he could now communicate directly with the king or queen, and his contact with Mr. Jack was limited to holiday greetings and some private matters.
This seems to be a very...inauthentic approach. As your status increases and your power increases, you stop contacting old friends. In fact, this is the most real side of society.
If you take yourself seriously, others will not take you seriously either. Those successful people always say that they need to get along with their subordinates and be friendly with strangers. There are always fools who believe what they say.
But in fact, most of the people who say these things keep a proper distance from their subordinates, are friendly to strangers but also kind. They must let others realize the gap between them, and they are superior to others. People are different.
Mr. Jack didn't express much about Dulin's slight displeasure on the phone, and it wasn't a humiliation, more like a joke. He coughed slightly, "Two things. The first thing is that Mags was in the afternoon. Sallyville was shot and is currently in stable condition and will wake up tomorrow at the latest.”
The muscles under Dulin's eyebrows jumped uncontrollably, and he nodded, "What else?"
"And..." Mr. Jack laughed, "A hairless friend asked me to tell you that this thing was done by an angel."
"Okay, that's all that needs to be said. I hope you can have a good sleep."
Du Lin clucked, "Tsk..., I can't sleep!"
After hanging up the phone, he dug his hands into his hair and scratched it hard. The stimulation of his scalp by his fingertips quickly made him recover from his sleep state. He lit a cigarette, sat on a chair, and looked at The night view outside the window and the patrols that occasionally passed by the villa made me think for a while.
He was thinking about the second piece of news Mr. Jack said. If nothing else happened, the hairless friend was the assassin he saw in the gardener's house. He was known as the ultimate silent assassin, Photesivan.
The last time they met, Du Lin tricked the unlucky boy into thinking that he had been betrayed by his employer, so that for a period of time this person seemed to have disappeared from the world and was never heard from again.
Now he actually asked Mr. Jack to convey the news to him, which means that he may be in Sallyville, and the target of his "revenge" is the divine envoy.
So... does he want to use his own power to kill the angel, or is he unable to complete the assassination on his own
God's Envoy, if this name is nothing unexpected, should be the remnants of the Tushen Sect. Their previous assassination of him can be said to be an act of revenge. After all, the Tushen Sect's foundation of more than ten years was destroyed because of Du Lin's report.
But what does it mean now that they assassinate Mags
Du Lin, who was lost in thought, patted his head. There was an accelerating buzzing sound inside, and his brain was spinning so fast that it was about to spurt out of his ears and eyes. After about a few minutes, he blinked and took out the slightly hot hand. The cigarette butt was stubbed out in the ashtray and the fallen ashes were cleaned up.
In his dreams, the big boss always said that no matter how flashy a person's behavior is, behind it all, his behavior will have a clear purpose. As long as he finds what he wants, he will... No matter how perfect you hide it, you can't escape being caught.
So in this matter, who would benefit most if Mags died
Kubal
Royalty
The eldest prince
Or the Great Pharaoh of the Colt Empire
President of the Republic of Seriville
Or are they the unscrupulous capitalists in the empire? !
Du Lin suddenly looked towards the southern sky and looked hard. His gaze seemed to have traveled thousands of miles and shrouded directly over the Federation.
Yes, Magus' death would be most valuable to the Federation.
Whether it is Kubal, the royal family or the domestic capitalists, for these people, Mags who has resigned from office no longer has large-scale destructive power. As long as they need it, they can ignore Mags or not. People and their opinions act according to their own wishes.
Moreover, assassinating such a former empire leader would involve too much risk but little benefit. It was even said that it would result in a loss. If Mags really died, if they were discovered, their whole family would surely die, even if they were not discovered. It was found that the changes brought about by this incident would also greatly cause the empire's current rising financial market to suffer a heavy blow.
That's right, Dulin thought of the previous financial tsunami in the Federation from the financial market. If Mags was assassinated in Sallyville, the Federation would create some specious evidence to prove that Sallyville, the Colt Empire and even some other countries Involved in the planned and premeditated assassination of Mags, the World Financial and Trade Organization will fall apart immediately.
At the same time, these suspicious countries will develop antagonistic sentiments against the empire and gradually change their stance. The empire may even launch a wrong war to fight a wrong misunderstanding, and this is just for the sake of political correctness.
But after this, the empire will lose the affirmation and support of the international community, its economic development will be severely hit, and its finance and foreign trade will be significantly reduced. This will not be of any benefit to anyone, except the Federation.
As long as the empire is not good, it is a good thing for them, and it is urgent to slow down the development of the empire.
There are already some well-established anti-government armed forces in the Federation. These people believe that the Jianguo Family is not the savior of the Federation, but is the real culprit that has caused the federation to become like this. These people have united to continuously challenge the Jianguo Family in an armed way. status and authority, requiring them to return the power that belongs to the people to the people.
At the same time, in terms of foreign trade and internal economic construction, the speed of the Federation obviously could not keep up with the development speed of the Empire. The new generation of consortiums had their backs broken, their bones torn apart, and their skins peeled off, and they were no longer viable.
However, the old financial groups of the Jianguo Family lacked vitality and vitality. It was difficult to inject new vitality into the decaying society of the Federation and stimulate the rapid development of the Federation society.
In international trade... there is no international trade anymore. Now the federal policy is to stimulate domestic demand to revitalize and rebuild the financial and economic order within the federation. Cutting off a large number of external orders has also made many small countries that rely on federal orders for survival full of complaints. Almost They are about to abolish the diplomatic status.
Amid internal and external troubles, there is also a rapidly developing empire. Once the gap between the two sides becomes wider and wider, the empire will be able to use unarmed conflicts to invade the federation from all levels without bloodshed.
A series of aspects such as culture, finance, and economy make the next generation of the Federation lose their loyalty to the country. Eventually, the country will become a ball of sand and then be annexed by the empire.
This process may take decades or even hundreds of years, but it will definitely come. So at the moment, anything that can harm the interests of the empire is what the federal rulers are willing to do, including assassinating Magus. .
Through these thoughts and analysis, it means that people from the Earth God Sect and the Federation are mixed together. So are these people from the Earth God Sect originally from the Federation, or did they get together later
Someone should check it out... Thinking of this, Du Lin patted some inconspicuous cigarette ashes on his body and stood up. He drank the bitter tea that had cooled down in the cup and walked towards the door.
As for Mags being shot, although it's not a good thing, it's not too bad for him either!
