Magus' words made Dulin realize that although he had left the whirlpool in the hinterland of the empire, the old man's attention was always on him. He is well aware of some of the responsibilities he currently carries, but Maggs' attention is clearly more than he deserves. When someone is paying attention to you all the time, there are only two possibilities.
The first possibility is that he values you very much and hopes to see your growth every day and know what you have done recently, what gains you have made, whether you have made mistakes, and whether you have learned any lessons. This is a kind of love and care emotion expressed by elders towards their favorite juniors.
The second possibility is that he is wary of you. He doesn’t want you to stab him in the back while he is napping, so he must keep himself awake at all times and lock all your actions with his eyes. , be careful of any actions on your part that may cause harm to him, he does not trust you.
Dulin is not naive enough to think that if he does something and promises some good prospects, Maggs will pay attention to him as his true successor. The things Dulin did were indeed remarkable at his level, and some of them even rose to the level of national strategy. But Dulin also knew very well that the old man sitting opposite him personally kicked the royal family that his ancestors had loyally loyal to for generations from the throne of power. During the twenty years that he was in charge of the military, political, cultural and other aspects of the empire, It can be said that he has power over the world.
There is no one with more power than him in the empire, whether it is Dulin or the nobles and big capitalists outside, the resources they control are a joke to Mags. When people were still satisfied with tens of millions or hundreds of millions of wealth, the national finance that Maggs could control had long been calculated in units of hundreds of millions. The resources and connections he has can cover every corner of the empire, and all the materials they possess will not be looked down upon by Mags.
So what other achievements can Dulin achieve
These things he does, these ideas he comes up with, his brain!
He has a dangerous brain, and he knows this very well, so he can clearly realize that Maggs' attention to him is definitely not love and care, but a kind of surveillance and caution.
He smiled without changing his face, as if he had not thought about so many things at this moment, and continued what Mags said very naturally, "I got some mines and some land. I was used to being busy when I was the mayor, and I felt a little lonely when I suddenly became free. I happened to hear that a large-scale green home development project was being carried out in the west. In order to show my lofty patriotism, I looked for something to do there. Do."
Mags was confused. He didn't know about the green home development plan at all, and no one in the cabinet would dare to hide it from him. But he quickly realized that this must be Memnon's handiwork. That damn horse dealer is really annoying. If Mags hadn't had his own ideas and plans, he would have made Memnon completely disappear from this world. Who would bother him so much? thing
The remnants of the Bloody Dawn led by him have been wreaking havoc in the vast and sparsely populated area of the west. They had previously launched an armed uprising in an attempt to separate the entire west. After being suppressed, they fled abroad. Later, it changed its identity and formed the Kadima Party, which took over the western sphere of influence. According to ordinary people's thoughts, Memnon might be killed before he did these things, but Mags was not an ordinary person. Even if Memnon is killed, there are also window farmers and chimney farmers. These endless characters will continue to challenge the nerves of the empire's ruling party.
Rather than letting them continue to evolve and master more advanced and excellent methods after being defeated again and again, it is better to simply let these clowns climb onto the table, let them stand in the spotlight, and then let the world naturally eliminate these deformities. Twisted bug.
From the policies introduced by Memnon, Magus has foreseen his end. He will not end well. He colluded with the capitalists and it seems that he will perform very well in the early stage of development, but he lacks solid foundation. Foundation. Once something goes wrong, the capitalists will immediately abandon the loser. After losing the support of the capitalists and the soil for local survival, it is the best time to take action against this group of people.
Originally, this opportunity might have to wait several years or more, and Mags might not even see that day coming, but Dulin suddenly went to the west and Mags saw the arrival of dawn. If the scourge of Dulin reaches the west, will it accelerate the collapse of the Kadima Party and make this day come earlier
This is very possible, because Dulin's ambitions are huge. It was not that he couldn't help but want to go to the West, but he went to the West to look for "opportunities".
I always like smart people, but I am also afraid of being with smart people, because smart people can understand their thoughts. It seems that the word "smart" is very common and common, but in fact, this word can confuse the entire society. Ninety-nine point ninety-nine percent of the people were completely screened out, leaving only less than one in ten thousand people!
Dulin was going to the west. Magus's first thought at the time was that Dulin wanted to jump out, because the current situation in the empire was that only the west was most suitable for "starting from scratch." Although Maggs didn't want to admit this, he had to admit that in the eyes of the simple cowboys in the West, empire was just a very general term. Many people have never left the West in their lives, and they rarely enjoy the support and inclination from various policies of the empire, so it is impossible for these people to keep the concept of the empire in their hearts all the time.
They will smile honestly at anyone who gives them benefits.
Whoever makes them hungry will let the other party see their "opinions"!
Dulin knew that he could not achieve the position he wanted in the new party, so he wanted to jump out. After Magus realized this, he already had corresponding measures to deal with it. He could not allow such a person with ambitions and dangerous ideas to grow stronger day by day in the empire, unless he was willing to accept a rope tied around his neck. But he would never agree to it, just as Mags wouldn't agree to it either.
He smiled and nodded, "The west is the next area in the empire that is in urgent need of development. There is a large area of land and rich resources, but in terms of economic construction, it has always been the last place in the empire. Are you interested in finding a place in the west? Mayor, is this compensation?"
Mags' mind is always active. He can think while talking, and can even constantly change his thoughts. He quickly rejected his previous idea, if he could bring Dulin back into the camp of the new party's position, even if it was only superficially. So if he wants to realize his ambitions and desires, he must do one thing - let the western economy develop rapidly and vigorously.
The west is not the city of Otis, and it is impossible for another miracle to happen in the city of Otis. It will take at least twenty years to transform the entire west. Twenty years later, when Du Lin is in his forties, he will want to start from scratch, fearing that it will be impossible until he dies of old age. Of course, we should be careful about what we should be careful about, and we should keep what we should keep as a back-up. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Mags was really unwilling to give up Dulin and his magical brain.
Du Lin and Magers looked at each other for a few seconds before Du Lin shook his head and said: "No, my current status is a bit special, and it is not convenient for me to return to politics in a short time. Wait until the next election year. talk later."
Magus's pupils shrank slightly, and he nodded with a smile. Whether he agreed with Dulin's statement was another matter.
The two quickly brought the topic back from Dulin's personal matters to the issues they had discussed before. Magus arranged the chess pieces on the chessboard neatly, with a meticulous attitude and a focused look, as if what he was doing was very important. "The Cape family will be anxious soon, and the pressure on you will be heavier by then. He can leverage a lot of connections, and all aspects will bring you great pressure and threats. You What you have to do is to protect yourself while showing their persecution against you.”
"These people have formed a network and are entangled with each other. As long as the problem of the Capet family becomes a social problem, we can start to use the knife on him." Magers picked up a chess piece representing a soldier and placed it When it was in its rightful place, he said, "The Capet family...", then he picked up a few more and placed them neatly one by one, "The Hymn Consortium...", followed by those war horses and siege equipment, "The relationship between the northern nobles." chain…”
When he finally picked up the "King" and put it back to the last position, he raised his head and looked at Dulin, "Aristocratic capitalist!"
"I have one more request, and I hope you can help me complete it. I know you have sacrificed a lot, and I have not given you anything, but I think our goals and ideals are consistent."
When Dulin returned home from Magus's villa, Frena was already curled up on the sofa, reading the new issue of Tape. There was no equipment like a TV set for students to kill time in the Royal Academy, which has always been known for its strictness. Some schools want to tear their students in half, with one half studying and the other half resting. When the time comes, they can swap the two halves and continue studying forever.
She glanced at Du Lin, then withdrew her gaze, and continued to focus on the dark pictures on the TV screen, laughing from time to time.
Du Lin took off his coat and walked to the edge of the sofa to sit down and asked, "Why do you want to come here today?" He gave Frena the key, but I heard that she had never come alone.
"The imperial capital is so big, and everyone is discussing Mr. Dulin and his enemies. Of course I will come over and take a look."
