"Memnon wants to see me?" Dulin looked at the young man standing outside the door strangely, claiming to be a staff member of the city hall. Unexpectedly, Memnon would react not long after he arrived in the west.
It's not impossible to see Memnon now, but Dulin still has more things to do. If you do not choose other parts of the empire as your destination, in addition to those developed places that have become delicacies on the capitalists' plate, the overall class has long been solidified, and you still need to fight against a large number of social vested interests, any small move will cause some Unpredictable consequences. None of the politicians in the imperial capital, the nobles in the north, or the big capitalists in the south were easy to mess with.
Even if Du Lin had tens of millions of working capital and had a hometown association to rely on, he might not be able to defeat these guys head-on. Instead of wasting your money and strength to fight for an uncertain future, it is better to focus on the vast and sparsely populated western region. The economy here is far less developed than other places, and the folk customs are relatively strong. Except for a very small number of capitalists, the folk customs here are still "simple" - try not to go to remote places after dark. The people here will tell you how realistic it is. How cruel.
Therefore, placing the destination in the west can effectively reduce competition, while at the same time suppressing the Kadima Party and finding ways to turn this part of its strength into its own strength.
Dulin doesn't have much time now. He needs to go around the west before spring to let people here know that huge changes will take place here. So he didn't have time to meet Memnon. If he wanted to make something after meeting Memnon, he would probably have a little trouble.
This does not mean that there will be no trouble if you don't see Memnon. It is purely a principle of exchange of initiative. If you meet Memnon, Dulin will lose some potential initiative, but if you don't see him, then these potential initiatives will still be in your hands. In your own hands, you can throw it out as an excuse when necessary.
The staff member who came to notify Du Lin was in his thirties, short, and wearing a thick leather jacket. When he opened his eyes wide, there would be a few wrinkles on his forehead. Coupled with his rough skin and cold eyes, it looked like Looks more like a bandit than a government worker.
"I'm very sorry. I have something very important, so I can't go to see Mr. Memnon for the time being. You can help me convey my gratitude to Mr. Memnon for the invitation, and tell him that I will go see him when the weather warms up."
Du Lin decisively refused the invitation, but the messenger did not leave immediately. He was still standing outside the door. The open door let the cold wind blow in, and the clothes of the people in the room were all wet. Not much, I already felt a bit of chill. He looked directly at Dulin. He didn't know Dulin very well, but he knew Memnon.
Memnon originally wanted to start a war to seize power in the form of an "uprising", but unfortunately it was quickly suppressed by the Imperial Army. This time he made a comeback in another form and wanted to penetrate into the core of the empire, gain the highest power in the country through peaceful means, and complete the coup without even seeing the light of day. In the west, people know a lot about Memnon's old history. There are always some people who are losers in this society, and they are the ones who want Memnon to succeed the most.
Because only if Memnon succeeded, they would be able to gain more benefits by taking refuge in Memnon.
And this government worker who sent the message was one of them.
He said with a smile: "Mr. Dulin, maybe your understanding of Mr. Memnon is a little narrow. Mr. Memnon has a very large influence in the west, and has taken over more than 70% of the cities in the entire state. The next step is to run for governor and there is a great possibility of sitting in that position. Regarding Mr. Memnon's kindness, I personally think it is better for you to accept it. This is a good thing for you, me and Mr. Memnon, isn't it? ?”
He looked at Du Lin, who also met his gaze. After the two looked at each other for a moment, Du Lin's expression became a little indifferent. He tilted his head slightly, played with the lighter in his hand, and asked with a smile: " If I understand correctly, are you threatening me?"
"Threat?", the man lowered his head slightly, "No, no, no, Mr. Dulin, this is not a threat, I just made some things clearer, so that you can have more sufficient reference basis to make the best decision for you. Decide, this is not a threat, it’s a help!”
Du Lin couldn't help laughing after hearing this. He pointed at this person and said, "Your way of speaking is very interesting. Have you ever worked in a circus before? For example, playing a clown to make people laugh?"
The smiling expression on the man's face softened and became a little grim, "Do you think I am making you happy? Mr. Dulin, maybe you have a certain degree of power in other places, and people will respect you. But here This is the West, and your set of things no longer applies here! Let me reiterate, Mr. Memnon hopes to meet with you. You can refuse, but you have to know that refusing is not the best option. "
When he finished saying these words, a cold object was pressed against his head. However, he did not immediately restrain his temper like some people did. Instead, he turned away abruptly when the gun was pointed at his head. He turned his head and looked at the young man standing next to him holding a gun to his head.
A very handsome young man, so handsome that even if he put on women's clothes, he would be one of the most beautiful women in the city. Facing this young man, he asked: "Do you dare to shoot? If you dare If so, come on, give me one..."
The gunshot rang out, but it didn't hit his head, but his knees. Du Fu flipped his wrist slightly and pointed the gun at his other leg, "What did you just say? Here you go. What? A cigarette?"
The man actually didn't fall down. He stood on the spot holding on to the door frame without saying a word. He looked straight at Dufo, and the blood in his bones was activated by a bullet. He raised his chin and clenched his teeth, as if every word was squeezed out from his teeth, "Another bullet, aimed at my head, just like you threatened me just now?!"
The muzzle of Dover's gun was raised and pressed close to his forehead. Not to be outdone, he pressed the muzzle hard enough that the residual heat from the muzzle of the gun that had just fired a bullet caused his forehead to be pressed against the muzzle. The surrounding area is slightly red.
Du Fu looked at Du Lin, and the man also looked at Du Lin. Du Lin had no expression on his face, "You can go on your way with peace of mind. I will visit your family and the people behind you..."
Blood exploded instantly, broken bone fragments and white and red things sprayed all over the ground. After a few seconds, a body fell heavily to the ground with a muffled sound. Dulin looked at Yicott and said, "Clean up this place, find out his identity, and reunite his family." He spoke lightly, as if he was talking about an insignificant thing, but it determines the final belonging of a family. .
Dulin saw the gangsterism in this man. If he was not one of those bandits galloping in the Gobi, he must be a gang member. The fact that such a person can successfully sneak into the city hall and issue orders on behalf of Memnon shows that he represents interests of some people. It would be easy to kill him. Those whose interests he represented would definitely not just let it go. They would definitely find a way to figure out what was going on, so Dulin would not give them the time and opportunity to fiddle around and simply wipe them out. In ignorance.
Icott and the other fellow association cadres in the room were not surprised at all by this. We cannot say much about shootings or even killings in the streets in the west. After all, this goes against the "security and stability in the west" that the empire has always promoted, but it is absolutely not the case. It will be less. The death of one or two people is like the death of one or two horses. It is too common. It's just that this death gave everyone here a completely different spirit, an indescribable but full-body feeling of comfort.
Once upon a time, even in the face of contradictions and conflicts, the Guart people did not dare to stand up and be the first to pull the trigger, because they had no big tree to rely on, no backer who could uphold "fairness" for them. But now there is. Dulin's approach was really encouraging, making people realize that everything he said before was not just bragging, he really wanted to bring some changes to everyone.
This is also the reason why Dulin used private wine to clear the way for the revitalization of the Guart people. In addition to the large profits brought by the sale of private wine, which can improve the living environment of the Guart people in various places, this kind of fighting and killing is the most important. If a race wants to stand up again, the first thing it must achieve is self-confidence, which is to untie the invisible shackles on the body, so that they dare to roar at the sky and dare to fight against all unfairness!
The next day, Dulin left first with a few young people. Next, he had to go deep into the west. Not only did he have to go around every city, but more importantly, he had to get a few mines. In this place in the west, there is a very special "profession" called the mine protection team.
As we all know, after the first natural open-pit gold mine was discovered in the west, countless gold prospectors came here with their families, hoping that they could be favored by the goddess of fate and discover a rich gold mine somewhere. Become a winner in life. According to the current laws in the West, gold prospectors who discover gold mines can receive a reward of at least 100,000 yuan if they provide information about the gold mines to the state government. If this information is sold to those capitalists, the profits will be even greater.
But there is another option, which is to mine it yourself, find some relatives and friends to spend money to bury the area where the gold mine is, and then start digging for gold mines, and live a different life from then on. In this process, we also need to face some problems, such as bandits and horse bandits, and some forces that "take over" through brutal massacres.
Large-scale fighting continued to take place, causing the security of the west to collapse to the extreme. Therefore, after the approval of the Imperial Parliament, a clause regarding the establishment of individual armed forces in the western part of the empire was incorporated into the imperial code - the "Act on the Establishment of the Western Civilian Mine Guards" ( temporary)"
