"Can I go out for some air?" Memnon knocked on the door and looked at an officer outside the door and complained, "I haven't left this building for more than ten days. I want to go It’s okay to go outside and breathe fresh air, even at the door.” In order to guard Memnon and prevent him from having too much contact with the outside world, the house he lives in now has no windows, and the commander allows him to stay in the building. Move around, but don't leave, don't go near a window.
He had almost no way to contact anyone. Even when he was on the phone once, the person on the phone thought he was using code words in normal communication, so he immediately hung up the phone and warned him that he was still under serious suspicion. The suspect, until these messy things in the West calm down completely, he cannot have any contact with the outside world beyond the scope of his work. These people even asked him to say only the two simple words "yes" and "no" on the phone.
The officer expressionlessly closed the door again. Facing the door panel, Memnon sighed heavily. Now he was in trouble.
He could only place his hope on his men to guess what he was thinking at the moment and evaporate all the executive members of the West Mining Association. Only in this way could he be safe.
Just as Memnon was thinking about how to contact the outside world to direct his subordinates, the other three executive members of the West Mining Association also made a decision. Just as their companions said yesterday, they should find a way to leave the empire before the situation worsens and they are under control. They have stayed in this position for more than ten years. During these years, they have made enough profits to allow them, including their families and descendants, to squander for generations. There is no need to stay here for the power that has collapsed. Waiting to die.
In order to avoid possible surveillance, they held a dance to celebrate that the Freedom Front was wiped out and that the mining trade in the west could continue normally.
In the dressing room, the four executive members met again.
"I feel like someone is watching us. We have to move faster. In three hours, the traitor Federer will be in the spotlight. After he finishes telling all his bullshit, I'm afraid we won't have time." , the guy who had a "deal" with Du Lin sat on the chair. He picked up a clipper specially used for cutting hair and pushed a line along the middle of his head. Large pieces of carefully maintained hair fell to the ground, exposing the roots of the hair, which were somewhat gray.
The other three people immediately understood what this guy was doing. Since someone was watching them, they had to leave without alerting anyone. There's no better way to do it than to dress up during the dance. So they also began to use the tools found in the dressing room to change their appearance.
Soon the man turned himself into a bald head, and even shaved off his eyebrows. He used cosmetics to darken his skin color, a bit like a refined person. When he took off his coat and took out a mascot-like suit from the box beside him under the incomprehensible gazes of others, one of them couldn't help but ask, "Have you been prepared?"
He nodded solemnly, "Whether you leave the empire or not, I will leave the empire. I have arranged for my family to leave overnight yesterday. They are not under surveillance yet, at least as far as I know. You'd better be able to Find a way to inform them, and then meet up at the Federation." As he spoke, he put on the childish-looking clothes.
It was a large plush toy coat with the image of a miner. The exaggerated image of the miner was full of cartoon visual effects, and his appearance could not be seen directly at all. He looked out through a fist-sized hole in the miner's mouth. Even if he saw his eyes from the outside, he couldn't tell who this person was. Only by asking him to take off his clothes could he see clearly. But at such a ball, who would embarrass a staff member wearing cartoon plush clothes
The other three people kept silent but kept cursing secretly in their hearts. This old guy was really cruel. He wanted to give up such a huge family property and actually gave away all his family members. At the same time, they are also thinking about how to tell their families to leave the empire as soon as possible.
The melancholy and reluctance in their hearts can never be revealed through words or expressions. They have lived in this empire for decades, from the aristocratic period to today's new era. They have feelings for everything here, and their Half of the family fortune is here and cannot be taken away.
Those villas, manors, works of art, various real estates, and valuable and luxurious works of art will become collections of others, and their beloved things will become the darlings of auctions, which makes their hearts bleed. Why couldn't I be cruel? Perhaps they felt their attachment to the empire when they made their choice.
The four people quickly changed their clothes, and one of them asked angrily in his coat, "Why are you the only one who is a miner? Why are we all stones?"
"idiot… "
A miner and three rickety gold ore stones came out of the dressing room. Everyone who saw them smiled, and some children came up and touched them. But the children felt that the experience was bad. Instead of giving them a positive response, the cute cartoon image told them to get away like their parents and elders did.
The miner looked back at the second gold ore behind him, "You can't say that to them. If you provoke their parents, none of us will be able to escape." After saying this, he continued to move forward, But in his mind, he was meeting the things Du Lin told him last night.
To be honest, he was a little confused about why Du Lin did this. If he really wanted to make people like him disappear, couldn't he just use the other party's ability to find an opportunity to disappear them all? Why bother with so much help? They left the Empire at this time and went to the Federation, rather than to the countries further afield. Although deep down he felt that the Federation was the best choice. At least the social environment there was good and the rich dominated everything, but he didn't understand why.
He had a phone call with his family last night. Only then did he know that his family had boarded the passenger ship to the Federation and would arrive in the Federation in about three days.
The stranger Dulin's behavior became, the more he reflected on it. Could this be a trap? But Dulin had no need to deceive him, because Dulin arranged a naval train to take them to the west coast to board a navy warship to the Federation.
He had a vague feeling in his heart that Du Lin was taking advantage of him. But at this point, what else can we do besides being used
Just after the four of them came out of the back door, a car slowly approached them, a military vehicle.
The military vehicle is wider and longer than an ordinary family car. There are three rows of seats in the vehicle. There are two soldiers sitting in the front driver's seat and the passenger seat. The soldier sitting in the passenger seat rolled down the window and said, "Take off your clothes and get in the car. There are clothes prepared for you in the third row of seats."
The four of them had nothing to hesitate. They took off their cartoon jackets and got into the car wearing underwear. On the third row of seats, they found four sets of military uniforms. After putting on these military uniforms and military hats, they looked like He does look like a soldier, at least with his bare head. The only thing that might be different is their age.
Fortunately, no one in the city of Vanlier will stop this kind of military vehicle, which is full of soldiers. First of all, military vehicles are difficult to handle. If there is a gendarmerie inspection, the soldiers in the cab can handle it.
Just as they were heading to the station in this military vehicle, a car passed them.
"I think I already know what to say." Federer turned over the three speech notes and stuck them on the armrest box between the two seats. They listed some of the core things he needed to say when he spoke this time, as well as what might happen. How to answer some difficult questions. In order to write down these contents, he spent four days recalling and reciting them almost every minute and every second.
Ellis held those speech notes in his hand. He randomly pulled out some questions from them to ask Federer. The upcoming press conference was very important and determined whether Dulin's plan could be concluded smoothly. He could not tolerate even the slightest bit. mistakes.
As long as this press conference ends successfully, the West will soon calm down.
As time passed, Federer, who had slept for a while in the hotel room, was woken up by Dulin. After changing his clothes, he followed Dulin and took the elevator to the third floor of the hotel, where there was a lobby. The moment they pushed open the door and walked into the hall together, they were almost blinded by the flashing spotlight. This time, not only reporters from the empire, but also reporters from other countries came here. After all, enslaving citizens as slaves is something that irritates the country's sensitive nerves. They must come to find out what is going on, so that it can be convenient for those Big men make sound judgments in international affairs.
Dulin sat to the left of Federer, and the seat on the right was empty. Federer didn't have the time to think about why someone was late. He stood up with squinted eyes, waved to the reporters in the hall, and said, "Thank you very much for coming to this press conference. I am going to be here today to announce to the public some shocking things that you don't know. Maybe..."
Before he finished speaking, a reporter suddenly interrupted and asked loudly, "Mr. Federer, why do you want to be 'another person' to stand up and expose this? Is it because you have been excluded?"
All eyes were on the reporter, and then on Federer's face.
In the speech notes provided to him by Dühring, there was a similar question, and he replied without thinking about it: "Because of responsibility, this is the social responsibility I bear as a citizen of the Reich living in this country. My morality tells me that I cannot No more silence!"
"Even if I don't stand up, I believe someone else will stand up. I just stood up earlier, that's all!"
