Chapter 579: Little Brother
If something happens to the people below, the people above naturally want to know, or they will be messed up a long time ago.
With such a big incident, Rorschach didn't think that the Mage Nation knew nothing, on the contrary, considering the mage apprentices here, the spies and intelligence agents of the superpower's heritage....... Rorschach felt they should know more than they did.
He even guessed what the other party was looking for him, but after thinking about it, it was nothing more than two.
"Invest more or less?"
"Increase, so to speak, on the full investment. ”
Considering the loose and unfettered political system of the Mage Council, secrecy was never possible.
And the person who told Rorschach all this was Archbishop Vendier of the Eagle's Crown Church, an old acquaintance of Rorschach.
He used to be the head of the Eagle's Crown in New Tonia City and the head of the board of directors, but some time ago, he was transferred back to the headquarters to report on his duties, and Rorschach didn't see him.
But now, being summoned by the Mage Council to participate in the consultation meeting, I met this old acquaintance on the way, and he personally sent a work letter not long ago, which feels quite delicate.
“....... I thought you'd hate me. ”
Vendil was stunned for a moment, his gentle smile stopped for a moment, he shook his head silently, and his smile turned into a bitter smile.
"It's all about food, who can blame whom. We have developed to this point, there are too many accidents in this, and we are confident that the choice along the way has not been wrong, and there is no change in starting again. Who is to blame for our failure...... Bad luck. ”
Is there really no resentment? Rorschach heard the inaccuracies, but did not pursue them further.
The rise of the game church is accidental in all aspects, and it can be regarded as the product of a combination of personal struggle and opportunity.
But from the perspective of competitors, the growth of SBC is basically accompanied by the fall and loss of the old church, and from the point of view of the results, the four big guys have all lost quite badly, and it can be said that many calculations and investments have become wedding dresses for others, and it is really strange that there is no resentment.
Rorschach and Vendil are also old acquaintances, when he was the crown of the eagle was the two giants of the city, all aspects of the city are the same level, although he has always been known for his affinity and lack of shelves, but how can he not be like now, walking on the road to take the initiative to greet a young man, with a slightly flattering expression.
“....... I see. ”
Rorschach looked at his watch, there were still forty minutes left before the scheduled inquiry, and perhaps, it was indeed time to have a good chat.
"Going for a coffee?"
"Oh, yes, I'm in for a treat, I know of a nice old shop, just down the street from the council. ”
The old priest's overjoyed look made Rorschach know what to expect.
Originally, Rorschach was still at a loss, and it might not be a good thing for the boss to suddenly have an invitation.
But now this "old acquaintance" happened to "meet" with him, and he took the initiative to chat with himself, which explains a lot of things.
"Crown of the Eagle, not going to leave?"
Rorschach's words are always so direct, so direct that people don't know how to answer.
The place where the two of them "chatted" was a family restaurant not far from the Executive Yuan of the Truth Council, and the door of the parliament was outside the window, so there was no need to worry about missing the time of the question meeting.
Rorschach's inquiry, the old priest who looked like a young man could only nod silently.
Yes, the Eagle Crown had already decided not to leave, so he sent himself, an old acquaintance who had a friendship with Rorschach, out of the horse.
"Well, we're not leaving. Or we can't go, we have lost the backbone of the battle group and the core combat power, and when we return to the old base area, we will be eaten by others, so it is better to fight for a way to survive here. ”
Giving hole cards directly is obviously not a normal business and political negotiation practice, but Vendier knows that this is the way to communicate with Rorschach.
Rorschach smiled and nodded, not just from the other party's honesty, but the Eagle Crown really didn't talk, which should be a good thing for the game church.
The waiter came over, and the two stopped to talk, Rorschach sipped coffee and ate a sandwich, talking about today's weather, but he had a lot of ideas.
"Perhaps, we really need to have a good talk, and it is worth missing a little bit of the time of the interrogatory. ”
The situation at the Crown of the Eagles is no secret, and Vendil's attitude is honest...... It's pointless for him not to be honest, the man on the other side is a humanoid lie detector, and the situation on his side, he can't hide it if he wants to inquire.
Rorschach is right, it is impossible to have no grievances, after all, in the past half a month, I have received more than 30 resignation letters from middle-level cadres, and the other party's new employment unit is the game church.
It's no wonder that these cadres and backbones have jumped badly, and the current situation of the Eagle Crown is more than a "bad" description.
The headquarters of the Eagle's Crown is an old city called the Land of Pride, which is also the first Eich stronghold, and there are several gods above level 7.
The god system has been established a long time ago, but it does not have the position of the rising star of the eagle crown, of course, this is also related to the high vision and ambition of its gods.
If you don't enter the god system, or you enter the god system to be a little brother, you are always one layer behind, and the feeling of being in the middle of the city, the noisy and prosperous scenery around you but has nothing to do with you, is not comfortable.
This is also the reason why the Crown of the Eagle will invest so much and put in all aspects of the development of New Winteria City.
"Our Crown of Eagles, unlike the other three, really runs that city as if it were our new home. Our hard work is definitely the first in the city. ”
Rorschach nodded silently, there are some things that he has experienced, and he knows it in his heart.
The original railway network of the entire Harait Great Wasteland was invested, designed and built by the Eagle Crown, from the design and production workshop of the train carriages to the recruitment and training of railway workers.
Infrastructure construction work is long-term and arduous, and it is impossible to recover the cost in the short term, and it has proved their sincerity to be able to start such a large project on their own.
At the beginning, Rorschach also followed them to the forward base in the no-man's land, which can be regarded as a friendship of alliance cooperation, and he also met the Titans there.
If it weren't for their initial bets, it would have been very difficult for the latecomers to follow up, and even if they would eventually start building the rail network, it would be difficult to start now.
That is, based on their original railroad network, other churches followed up with investment, and this credit must be remembered.
And from another point of view, a large investment is equivalent to getting on a thief ship, and it is difficult to get off the ship.
The investment in all aspects has hollowed out the family foundation of the Eagle Crown, although there are a lot of returns, but compared with the hardware expenditure in all aspects, it is still in a state of substantial loss.
While this loss could have been made up for over time by a well-run industry, it was clear that the Plane War had ruined all of this.
"First of all, we want to thank you for saving our lives just half a month ago......"
Rorschach smiled and didn't say anything.
He knew what the other party was referring to, probably the forcible bailout who didn't know how many laws had been violated.
Considering the situation at that time and the current situation of the Eagle's Crown, this trend of the wall falling down and being pushed by everyone is really not an exaggeration to say that it saved a life.
The investment of the Eagle Crown here is too large, so big that the headquarters has become an empty shell, in order to recoup the funds, their investment in the stock market is the largest, and the disaster is also the most serious, and they almost declared bankruptcy directly.
"Are you sure you're not going back? ”
Although it was a question sentence, Rorschach used an affirmative tone.
"Well, it's impossible to go back, the evil wolves over there are already falling into the well, they won't give my lord a chance to make a comeback, it's better to fight here. ”
Every successful person is accompanied by countless competition losers, and the Eagle Crown has offended too many people in the process of success.
In fact, the economic and investment losses were acceptable, but the total annihilation of their main army made their combat strength seriously empty, and the original mortal enemy naturally rose up in droves to attack.
Now every day, the Eagle Crown of the Pride Land will encounter countless troubles, there are reports of industries being attacked, there is news that a certain high-level and middle-level person has been poached with a high salary, a large number of believers have converted, and the grassroots church has even directly changed its brand to become someone else, and even contact the funny news that the little hooligans have come to find fault with for a week.
It's not that the Crown of the Eagle hasn't considered being a shrunken turtle, giving up everything and returning to the headquarters to survive the war and then make a comeback, but the facts tell them that I'm afraid that if it goes on like this, it won't be able to survive ten years after the war.
The pain of climbing high and falling, the destruction of the main army, is really too hurtful...... The impact is not fatal enough, but combined with the reality of insiders' loss of confidence and direction in the future, the frenzied loss of assets and personnel is enough to cause fatal injuries.
Rorschach and Lori have also discussed the future of the Eagle Crown, and they have nothing more than two options.
One is to give up everything and follow the big guy through the plane war, it is inevitable to fall two levels, and it is possible to fall to the fourth-level church.
The other one is the current situation.
"So, you're sure to stay. So, don't blame me for being rude, can we be our little brothers?"
