In a tense and frightened environment, people's rationality decays faster than people's understanding of themselves. Often, things that they would not believe in normal times will become doubtful in such an emotional atmosphere.
Starting from dawn, a "gossip" spread throughout the West. I don't know who released it first, but it spread throughout the West overnight. This uncertain news pointed to the recent series of changes in the West to the West Mining Association, the mastermind behind it. The news stated that most of the people who have been assassinated so far are those who have enmity with the West Mining Association, including Du Lin, including Memnon, including the executive members of the Western Mining Association and Hendry and others.
The conflict with Du Lin comes from the fact that the West Mining Association swindled Du Lin of tens of millions of funds, which is an astonishing amount. Once Du Lin takes up legal weapons to defend his rights and interests, the West Mining Association and those who Mine owners who sell waste mines as good mines to Dulin will be in bad luck. Everyone has seen Du Lin's expertise in litigation. He has been litigating with people since he became rich, but what is very amazing is that he never seems to lose.
This put great pressure on some people within the Western Mining Association. Once this matter came to light and officials began to intervene, the Western Mining Association's authority in the west would inevitably decline rapidly. People will not believe an unofficial organization that united with treacherous mine owners to defraud Dulin of tens of millions of funds. This will also lead to more questions, such as how the West Mine is profitable in the west and how to control it. Western mineral deposits and foreign trade.
Therefore, the West Mine has the necessary motivation and profit, and they have the possibility of assassinating Du Lin.
The conflict between the Western Mining Association and Memnon has been going on for a long time. Memnon has been at odds with the Western Mining Association since he entered the political stage. He proposed various methods to restrict the mine owners in the west and the reach of the Western Mining Association. Although they have failed, it does not mean that they will always fail. Once Memnon becomes governor and gets help from outside capitalists, he is likely to directly formulate a set of laws belonging to him in the west, and then the good days of the mine owners and the Western Mining Association will be over.
Faced with such huge losses, will the people of the West Mining Association choose to compromise
No, they chose to end it by assassinating Memnon.
As for why some executive members and mine owners within the Western Mining Association were also assassinated
In fact, it is very simple. Where there are people, there will inevitably be positions. Different positions will naturally create contradictions and then develop into conflicts. Several executive members and the mine owners colluded to defraud Dulin of so much money. If they were still alive, the evidence they had left would always exist and be confirmed. Anyone can use the stupid things they do to attack the West Mining Association. Coupled with the internal struggle for power within the West Mining Association, assassination is obviously the simplest and safest way.
As for some people who may consider whether the West Mine Club is mentally retarded, don't they have the brains to launch such an intensive assassination in such a short period of time
The explanation was also given in this very widely circulated news. It was precisely because they arranged such intensive assassinations that they were able to draw people's attention away from the West Mining Association, allowing people to question and reflect, and finally "discovered" It turns out that all this has nothing to do with the West Mine Society.
This news seemed to be true. The person who gave this news seemed to have participated in so many assassinations throughout the entire process, making it impossible for people to tell whether it was true or false.
Perhaps, the possibility is really higher
"Of course this is false!" Memnon sat on the hospital bed, his brows knitted tightly together. The gunshot wounds on his arms and shoulders were causing him severe pain to this day. Especially the moment the anesthetic effect wore off, he felt as if someone had stabbed the wound several times with a knife. The ever-present pain constantly stimulated his nerves, giving him a sense of irritability with a splitting headache. "Those people in the West Mining Association will not be so short-sighted. When the West becomes turbulent, they will be the first to be hit. If they do this, they will be the ones who are too lazy." It’s like digging a grave for yourself, so it won’t be them.”
The people in the room were silent. These people were Memnon's true confidants. In Shapke's eyes, these people had abandoned their once lofty ideals and became, just like Memnon, they were all lackeys of the capitalists. Their current identity, status, and wealth all come from Memnon coming to power, so they sincerely hope that Memnon can continue on and lead them to gain more benefits. For this reason, they are willing to give up their previous principles. After all, this is a Isn’t it a money society
The new era that we wanted in the past has also come. People are no longer slaves who are oppressed and exploited. Everyone is free, and everyone is equal...
"How is things going with Schapke?" Memnon had ordered his assistant three days ago to seize Shapke's family and force him to admit to having committed an assassination. This was an opportunity to firmly seize the initiative, and then use this as a basis to purge the Kadima Party from top to bottom. He doesn't need those disobedient subordinates. They should get out of here and pursue their illusory ideals, preferably never to come back.
His assistant shook his head with a cold face, and Memnon's eyebrows skipped a beat, "What's going on?"
"Our people are missing, and no traces of fighting were found at the scene. They completely evaporated together with Shapke's family. So far, we have no further news."
When his assistant finished talking about this matter that once again did not turn out according to his wishes, Memnon's head hurt even more. He hoped that it would be best that Schapke didn't know about this matter, or didn't know how to take advantage of it. This was absolutely It was a mistake, a wrong decision. Of course, Memnon also understood very well that he did not need to take responsibility for this mistake. Who knew that he had used some of his hidden forces to suddenly attack Shapke’s home, but it failed. This failure was not his responsibility, and Shapke could only say That fox Puck is so cunning.
Rubbing his temples, Memnon sighed. His life has not been normal since Dulin came here. Many things have become beyond his control. He hates this feeling. "What about the guy next door?" ? "Dead?"
"He has been rescued. The doctor said he was almost dead."
Memnon grinned and took a breath. He shook his head and ordered: "Go out and spread the news, saying that the person who assassinated me is Shapke's people. They still believe in the old ways of Blood Dawn, so they want to get rid of them." Get rid of me. By the way, I will also tell everyone that I will completely break with them and contribute my final strength to maintain the integrity of the empire and the security of society."
The people in the room were refreshed and lowered their heads.
They knew that at this moment, they and Bloody Dawn were finally completely separated.
The predecessor of the Kadima Party is the Bloody Dawn. Almost everyone knows this. It is a secret that everyone knows but cannot disclose. But this does not mean that the Kadima Party is the Bloody Dawn. The "realists" headed by Memnon have been deepening their cooperation with capitalists and promoting the Kadima Party to have more and bigger stages in the imperial political arena. These actions will inevitably make people like Guys like Schapke are disgusted. Because what they are doing now is actually not much different from what the nobles did in the past. This goes against the program and purpose of Bloody Dawn.
But this is another step that has to be taken. Destruction will never allow Memnon to become the dominant will of this empire. He must change his behavior according to the rules of this game and gain everyone's approval. When he didn't make this decision, he knew that one day he would definitely end up with Bloody Dawn, because the Kadima Party belongs to him, not Mr. Kosma's, not Shapke's, and this is not Bloody Dawn. , this is the Kadima Party, a political party headed by Memnon, not an assassination squad.
He was looking forward to this day, but he was also afraid of it. He didn't know how many people would be on his side, and he didn't even know if Mr. Kesma would send him a message after he found out about it. A black card.
But now, he must make a decision, because Shapke's sudden attack made him realize that this was the biggest crisis in his political life. He had no way out and no right to choose.
But it was also the biggest turning point.
What is the reason why the senior leaders of the empire reject the Kadima Party and the old party even plans to come and suppress them
Because they were once the Bloody Dawn and had assassinated many great nobles, the true core of the empire was unwilling to accept them. Memnon had often considered how to reverse people's perception of the Kadima Party on the premise of peace and give himself a higher ceiling, but at this moment, he knew.
Say goodbye to the past!
From today on, he wants everyone to know that he is a player who abides by the rules, a politician who actively moves closer to the empire's highest will, and a safe ordinary person, and he has shown it to the entire empire.
After finishing speaking, Memnon felt a little indescribable in his heart, a little reluctant, a little resentful, a little relieved, and a little relaxed. The complicated emotions made him not want to say anything, including remembrance and hope.
The official news released by the city hall press officer made many people feel an indescribable shock because of Memnon's decisiveness and his actions.
Shapke forced him to the edge of the cliff, and he jumped directly without even hesitating. This kind of ferocity was not something ordinary people could have, but just as Memnon himself considered, at this time he was in people's hearts. The danger level in the center suddenly dropped several notches.
Some people even think that he has done a good job and can accept him into the game circle that everyone is playing.
