When Mr. Peter woke up for the third time... As for why he woke up for the third time, it was a not very pleasant memory.
He patted his head and pressed his temples with both palms. His brain hurt as if he had been knocked unconscious three times, and it hurt so much that it was about to burst from the inside.
The smell that penetrated his nose from the surroundings made him take a deep breath involuntarily. The earthy smell contained some odors of cow dung and horse dung, as well as the grassy smell emanating from various vegetation, which made him slightly Closed his eyes.
In the west, even if he didn't need to look at the scenery outside the window or ask, as long as he smelled the familiar air, he knew that he was back in the west.
He is not from the West. The reason why he chose the West as the basis for his career was because it was backward, closed, and difficult to communicate with the outside world.
The information gap makes people in the west even more ignorant and stubborn. As long as they can be convinced that eating hot horse shit can cure diseases, even if someone puts a gun to their heads and tells them that this is a lie, they will treat it as someone else. Hope they heal.
The people here are easy to deceive, and they are very loyal after being deceived. When I think about it, when I first came here, my whole body was worth less than fifty yuan. After so many years, not to mention fifty yuan, fifty kilograms of gold. He has seen them all, and they are all his.
It's a pity..., all of this has disappeared, except for the wealth.
The bumps in the car made him recover quickly. Before the car stopped, he had already started to look around. The lively capital of Ambiluo State had changed a lot compared to the last time he came here. There were also many pedestrians, but some landmark buildings were still there. Reserved, so he guessed where it was.
After crossing the entire empire from the eastern part of the empire to the western part of the empire, it goes without saying that he knew what he was about to face, the young man who was called a devil by some people.
After driving for a while, the car stopped behind an inconspicuous villa. He was handcuffed and escorted into the villa from the garage at the back.
After walking around for a while, he finally came to a large living room. A young man sat on the sofa with his back to him and watched the TV. The TV was broadcasting federal news. An anti-government armed force suddenly attacked Saint-Loduo. , not only robbed the Federal Bank again, but also set fire to the newly rebuilt Federal First Exchange.
This incident caused a big fuss. Four leaders of organizations within the Federation claimed to be most responsible for the incident, but no one really knew who did it.
Representatives of the founding family and the current Speaker of the Federal Joint Parliament stated in an interview that they will investigate the real instigator of this incident as soon as possible, and also called on the entire federal society not to imitate and worship such extremist organizations.
This is not romantic, nor is it interesting. They are just a group of vicious gangsters without any sparkle worth learning from.
In fact, there is also a problem behind this incident. As the relationship between the United Parliament and the federal government completely broke down, and the speaker temporarily replaced the president of the federal government to exercise power, many people expressed their disapproval of the current federal rulers. Inner disgust and disgust.
These represent the inherent conservative forces while destroying the financial groups of the new generation and using the flesh and blood of these people to build society. On the other hand, they have also begun to pay attention to the rise of emerging forces and strictly prohibit anyone or things from being beyond their control. .
In the final analysis, the catastrophe of the Federation in the past two years is an unavoidable conflict between the old order and the emerging forces. Even if Dulin's plan had not blocked the Federation's financial economy, it would have taken five or ten years to wait for those emerging forces. As forces become stronger, wars will also break out.
It is impossible for both sides to coexist peacefully. Their completely opposite positions are destined to make only one side survive.
If Dulin had not intervened, it was very likely that emerging forces would replace the founding family and become the true ruling class of the federation.
But Du Lin intervened and lifted some lids earlier, intensifying the conflicts. The emerging forces did not get the opportunity to continue to develop and grow. It can be said that they were eliminated just as they posed a certain threat to the old forces such as the Jianguo family. In the toilet.
For this reason, the founding family also paid a heavy price, so they were even more wary of the rapid rise of emerging forces, which precisely led to dissatisfaction among the remaining forces in the federation and the relatively general public.
To explain this problem simply and popularly, it is not complicated. In order to avoid repeating the past, the Jianguo family built barriers one after another to prevent the rise of new forces. This kind of behavior that goes against the natural development of society will inevitably be opposed by people. .
Nowadays, people may not dare to do anything under the threat of repressive rule and secret police, but supporting the rebels is not that difficult.
Some young people are very interested in joining the anti-government armed forces. It is said that in addition to the assistance from the empire, these anti-government armed forces are also strongly supported by some new capitalists in the federation.
So Sisi said on TV that everyone should recognize the reality and the true face of the anti-government armed organizations. This is not a game, and justice will surely win.
Du Lin didn't turn off the TV until the news was finished. In fact, he heard footsteps just now, but this news was very important.
He stood up and walked to the bar, looking at Peter as he walked, "Wine? Or coffee? I don't have scented tea here."
"Bring me some wine, I need this..." Peter replied, and then walked to the sofa and sat down casually. No one stopped him. He looked around. The decoration was very simple and in line with his heart. Dulin's image.
In fact, when everyone discussed how to bring Du Lin in, he hesitated. A young man who can hold a high position at a young age and has a certain positive influence in society is definitely not easy to win over.
He is not like those men in their forties, fifties, fifties or sixties. Men in this period have struggled for half their lives. They have suffered hardships and injuries, and finally climbed to where they are today.
Many of them no longer have the desire and motivation to continue fighting. They just want to hold on to the power or wealth they currently have, and then spend the rest of their lives happily and peacefully.
Progress and struggle are like yesterday's shit, which have long been flushed into the sewer and merged with all the discarded things, and can no longer be recycled.
Therefore, people at this stage are the main targets of the Earth God Religion. If they are content with enjoying themselves, then give them the most comfortable enjoyment.
They like the opposite sex. As long as they believe in the Tushen Religion, on the basis of respecting religious customs, followers of the Tushen Religion can marry four wives or four husbands.
If you like an exciting life, whether you want to watch others fight and kill, or go up and kill something yourself, you can find it all here.
What's even more frightening is that they also support "customized" services. As long as their wishes are not too excessive, the Earth God Cult will help them complete it.
But Du Lin is different. He is still young. There are only two possibilities for being able to hold a high and powerful position at such a young age. One is to have an astonishing identity background. He is from a noble family. His parents are independent representatives of the noble family. With a hundred years of heritage, they have surpassed 99.5% of the people in this world from the moment they were born.
Du Lin is not, he does not meet the first requirement, everyone knows that he is... a farmer's son.
Then there is only the second one, huge ambition, unprecedented execution ability, terrible courage and the belief to carry out everything.
This kind of people are the most difficult to win over. Why, because they know what they want. Such people are the most terrifying. They can understand themselves and know the purpose of all their actions. There is no confusion, everything is orderly and precise.
They pick up the cup without thinking about what they are going to drink because they have already decided what they are going to drink before they pick up the cup.
If you want to win over Du Lin, you must show him that there is a ladder here that can get him to where he wants to go faster, otherwise it is simply unrealistic.
No matter how great the Tushen Cult boasts, it is impossible for Dulin to be the governor or the prime minister, and those are precisely his goals.
But when Charles suggested that he could give it a try, although Peter hesitated, he still agreed to Charles' request and let him give it a try.
If they succeed, they will gain unprecedented resources. If they fail, it doesn't matter, and they won't offend Du Lin.
But Peter just missed one point. In Dulin's eyes, the Tushen Cult is valuable - everyone has the responsibility to report the cult, and if you don't rush to do such an honorable thing when you find it, how can you hide it secretly?
In fact, until now, Peter didn't know that the end of the Earth God Cult was because they provoked Du Lin... This sentence is wrong, it should be said that they wanted to win over him.
Dulin got some wine for him, returned to the sofa with two glasses, and then pushed one of the glasses over.
Peter looked at the handcuffs between his hands. His meaning was obvious. He was already here anyway, so why not open the handcuffs and there were so many people around
This trick will be very effective most of the time, especially when a person is in a high position at a young age and has always had absolute dominance over the things around him. He will develop a kind of pride and think that nothing will escape him. control, even opening a handcuff.
But Dulin looked at him as if he hadn't seen him, and raised his glass, "What should I call you? Mr. Pitt, or His Excellency the Divine Envoy?"
Pete was speechless, holding the cup with both hands, raised it, and touched it with Du Lin, "Pete, call me Pete, this is actually my real name."
Dulin smiled and took a sip of wine and put the cup back on the coffee table. "I'm very curious, Mr. Peter. You obviously have many opportunities to leave forever and hide it in a corner of the world. I and others People may never find you in their lifetime.”
"With the wealth you have acquired in the past, I believe that you can live a very comfortable and respected life anywhere."
Peter nodded, "That's right, but you may not know yet. As long as we live in this society and live around other people, we can't get rid of other people's interference on us."
Du Lin felt something in his heart and nodded in agreement, "I recently learned a new word. It comes from the East. It's called 'involuntarily', and that's what it means."
"Can't control yourself?" Peter was stunned for a moment, then smiled and missed this little knowledge point, "Many people are looking for me. Compared to their arrogance in those remote small countries, the empire is safer here."
"At least they didn't dare to come in groups with rifles to shoot at the house where I lived, or to put me in a car and kidnap me during the day."
Dulin smiled. Peter was complaining about his kidnapping. He was just about to ask something when Peter followed up, blocking what he wanted to say.
"Mr. Dulin, I believe that with your position, you already understand the sadness and horror of being 'involuntarily'. Many times what we are doing is not necessarily what we want to do. We do things against our will." It’s just about living a better life.”
"There were some small differences and conflicts between us in the past, but those are not important. Let me go and I will give you 10 million!"
"Send me abroad and I'll give you 30 million!"
This is not a small amount of money. Even if the Imperial Star Yuan becomes less valuable than before due to the silent inflation, whether it is 10 million or 30 million, it is still a very considerable wealth. .
Du Lin pursed his lips and smiled, "I'm not interested in money. For people like me, money is more like an ornament. Tell me something that interests me, such as who is behind your back." With all this?"
Pete's expression was a little stiff. He thought for a while and said, "Fifty million, plus the misdeeds of about 170 officials in the three local states in the west and some illegal evidence. With these things, the entire west will be yours." People have the final say.”
Du Lin did not answer him immediately, but looked at Peter sideways with a half-smile. From the corner of his eye, the man's expression was ugly, as if he had just smelled the hot yellow smell that had just been pulled from his sweaty feet and had not been washed for three months. sock.
He shook his head, "You haven't understood, Mr. Pitt, that in the eyes of a lion, an ant's nest hiding bed bugs may be spread in all directions, but it cannot accommodate even one of the lion's claws."
"These things are valued by you and the people behind you, but they are not in my eyes at all."
"Maybe you and the people behind you need these things to be able to manipulate them to cooperate with you, or be threatened by you, but for me, when I need them to do something, I only need to make a phone call to them."
"Then tell them that the person who called them, that is me, is named Du Lin!"
"In the west, what I, Du Lin, say is law, law, and truth!"
