Dulin and his gang were discussing what needs to be done in the next year at Henry's manor. Outside the manor, agents from the Organized Crime Investigation Bureau and the Police Investigation Bureau of Vanlier City were sitting together and chatting. sky. So far, they have not been able to buy any Guart people who can participate in such high-level meetings. Those people's minds seem to be made of stone. No matter what benefits the official promises them, they are unwilling to cooperate.
You must know that they even issued a "special pardon order" that promised to pardon all crimes, as well as a "criminal license" that cannot be disclosed to the public. As long as he can help the Anti-Organized Crime Investigation Bureau find evidence of Du Lin's crimes and arrest Du Lin and put him in prison, then this man who has made outstanding contributions will be allowed to "legally" conduct some "legal" activities in a certain city that will not be harmful to others. A crime that causes harm to a citizen. For example, smuggling, opening a casino or operating some illegal entertainment projects.
But even so, no one is willing to stand up.
The Analysis Office believes that this may be related to Dulin's fear of high pressure. More than one person was skinned alive during the process of Dulin's fortune. They also tried to find relevant ritual punishments through the limited Guarte documents. , among which skinning is the most horrific punishment. In the cultural and historical background of the Guart people, any person or organization who betrays the interests of the Guart people has the right to skin them and expose them to the sun for three days.
Such cruel lynchings have been carried out throughout the history of the Guart people. Except for an unnamed guy known as the "Faceless Man" who was skinned and survived for three days, thousands of others were skinned. No one is alive anymore.
In the Anti-Organized Crime Investigation Bureau, the Security Committee and the Military Intelligence Service, using the deceptive nature of religious beliefs to supplement fear and interests is Dulin's method of maintaining this organization.
"Now they are getting more and more cunning..." A small leader who was responsible for taking photos of wanted people at the scene said while drinking coffee and chatting. "We found that the criminal methods of these people are getting more and more subtle, and the most troublesome thing is that Their criminal behavior is declining rapidly, which will become one of the biggest obstacles for us to crack down on the Doolin crime syndicate."
The fights between hometown associations and agents have been reduced a lot, after all, the criminal group has passed the initial stage of its establishment. At the beginning, they had to use violent means to grab more market share and sales from other lawbreakers. No one would let their own interests be harmed by others. There would be no second choice except fighting. Solution. This has led to the emergence of a large number of big names who are well-known in the underground world.
For example, Ms. "Black Widow" Sophia, "Executioner" Mr. Buddy, "Blood Butcher" Mr. Adams... there are dozens of branch presidents or agents with their own famous names. But as the business of the hometown associations and agents stabilized, Dulin began to advocate "peaceful trade" internally and began to transform. The number of crimes committed by the hometown associations and agents began to drop sharply. In some cities, the number of crimes committed by the hometown associations and agents began to drop sharply. They have not committed any crime in more than a year.
These people even took the initiative to participate in charity evenings and often donated large sums of money to charity, which won extremely positive comments from the society. In addition, Du Lin always maintained a positive image in public opinion, and it became more and more popular to follow Du Lin's example. Many hometown associations have begun to participate in social charity activities, such as helping poor families and providing free medical care to poor families, which have received support from many poor people.
The most important thing is that Dulin's smuggling channels have also begun to quietly transform. Now not only Dulin's private wine is circulating rapidly in these channels, but also wine from other wineries is flowing in Dulin's channels. In addition, In addition, vegetables from Dulin are also transported to various parts of the empire through this channel. It is said that a retail giant has recently planned to discuss cooperation with Dulin. This retail giant is interested in Dulin's cheap transportation costs (shipping) and perfect network coverage, and hopes to cooperate with Dulin to build its own shopping mall. All places within reach of Doolin's smuggling network.
Once the transformation is completed and there is no strong evidence to bring down Dulin, it is very likely that this criminal organization will become a business group. They are distributed throughout the empire and are engaged in legitimate trade and work. The difficulty of catching them will increase exponentially!
This is also the reason why his superiors have been a little annoyed recently. Du Lin is too cunning, too treacherous, and too arrogant. Isn't it good to just be the leader of a criminal organization
The detectives of the Anti-Organized Crime Investigation Bureau are all aware of this, but the detectives of the Vanlier Police Investigation Bureau have a little doubt, "In this case, why not take advantage of the fact that there is still some evidence in hand, and first convict those who can be convicted?" "I don't believe that the arrest of a large number of middle-level backbones will do any harm to Dulin." His idea is correct. The only thing that any organization can truly maintain is its middle-level backbones.
For an organization, a force, or even a company, changes in the top management will not cause any crisis in the company. Changes in equity are very common, and no company will go bankrupt just because the board of directors has one more shareholder or one less shareholder. . The same goes for organizational power. Changes in the top management of a more authoritarian group like this are very normal and have become normalized. It is just a matter of one sentence for the leader to add a high-level figure, and the following will naturally take the initiative to adapt.
This is true at the top, and it is also true at the bottom.
For the country, the grassroots is the most important link, but for any organizational force, the lowest members are not the most important link, because as long as they are attractive enough, they can obtain a steady stream of bottom-level supporters. In this ever-changing society, there are always some people who will join these forces for money, power or other things. This is very common.
Only middle-level cadres cannot change frequently, but this is not important to Du Lin's hometown association.
"Even if we arrest a hundred middle-level cadres, there will be 101 middle-level cadres back tomorrow. Branch presidents, agents, and captains are just symbols for the system of the hometown association, not complete power, and this symbol has The giver is Du Lin, and people all believe in Du Lin, so no matter how much we catch, it will be useless. Now we can only hope that Du Lin makes mistakes in his decision-making and gives us a chance to defeat him... "
People outside were discussing Dulin's recent developments, and inside the manor, Dulin was also discussing developments in the next year.
"So far, our power has covered 50% of the cities in the empire. This is very good, but it is not enough. We still need to speed up the penetration into surrounding cities and strive to expand the coverage to 70% or even 10%. Eight or more!" Du Lin's hands were wrapped in a long white scarf, and there was a hint of redness seeping out of the long scarf. He stood in the center of the restaurant, and the attention of everyone around him was focused on him.
There are more than 200 cities in the empire, excluding some villages, towns and settlements. The current agent system has covered 101 cities. It can be said that there is an agent in every two cities in the empire. . But Dulin is not satisfied with the current situation. He hopes to make greater progress and increase the coverage rate by at least twenty points. Once the agent stabilizes, a hometown association will appear immediately, which means that the Guarts in this city have entered the network of the hometown association.
Twenty-two years ago, the empire's census report showed that the Guarts accounted for about 15% of the empire's total population. At the end of last year, the empire's official population statistics showed that the entire empire's population was 217 A population of one million. According to the official statement, the total population of the Guart people should be about 30 million. But in fact, the total population of the Guarts is much lower than this number, because during the Patriotic War of the Federation, that is, the Civil War, a large number of young Guarts were forcibly recruited into the army and participated in that tragic war. war.
There was a brief count at that time, and there were more than four million Guarts enlisted in the army, but this number may be a reduced number. In the early days of the Civil War, the federal offensive was like a raging fire. The empire organized resistance dozens of times, but it had no effect. The battle loss rate of Guart youths and provincial youths in every occupied city was as high as 80%. Even ninety percent. Some people believe that about six million Guarts died in this war, and more than seven million provincial Yaren soldiers died in this war.
After consuming a large number of young Guart people, the Guart people faced a rather embarrassing situation, that is, there was a shortage of young men of marriageable age, widows increased, and the population growth rate began to decrease, which affected the Guart people. The total population of special people.
Now, according to Dulin's statistics on the Guarts in cities where there are associations or agents, the total number of Guarts in the entire empire should be less than 20 million and more than 15 million, occupying the entire empire. Between seven and ten percent of the total population of society.
After entering the new era, the official forces of the empire became very smart. In the old society, the empire had always maintained a serious attitude and strictly divided the empire's population into Ogdins, Provincials, Guarts and minority races. But after the arrival of the new era, the empire no longer distinguished any race, and uniformly adopted the term "empire citizen". This was a very smart move, which at least stabilized the resistance among the non-mainstream races who lost a large number of their tribesmen in the battle.
The cabinet also realized that in the past, the empire's linking social class with race was a very wrong behavior. They have realized that this is a minefield and have actively revised it.
It is to prevent the races of these defeated countries from being used by a small group of people with ulterior motives, thereby triggering greater riots or even civil war!
