Time is the most magical magician, and in just over seven years, no one can predict the changes in New Tonia City.

High-rise buildings in the city have become a regular operation, and the lack of land is a common problem in every development area, and with it every inch of land is expensive, and the average worker probably can't afford to buy his own dog house for the rest of his life.

It is not without reason that businessmen are forcing Rorschach to build a new urban area, since the current land is not enough, the development of new urban areas is an inevitable trend.

Rorschach himself didn't think about stopping it, it was just a bargaining chip for political exchange, but he suddenly got rid of it....... Of course, he felt that there was a lot of tricks in it, and it was not necessarily that he got rid of it.

"I should have signaled a political exchange, that they were stupid and fighting hard with me, a person in power? This is not the style of businessmen, at least I didn't push them to a dead end, they didn't have to take risks. ”

Looking back, this matter was too delicate, and it always felt that someone was fishing in troubled waters, so Rorschach faked his death and got out and went to investigate in person.

And now, he is in the base where the Tianyan mercenary group is located, and he may have been wrong in his judgment before he has hesitated.

"Are you sure we're not in the wrong place? I see, perhaps, it was the unscrupulous businessmen who killed me. ”

Looking at the cluster of high-rise buildings in front of him, Rorschach was a little skeptical that the merchants were really trying to kill him.

"I used to think that I was blocking a stream of interests, but now it seems that it is a dam, blocking the river leading to the sea......"

Every inch of land inside the city is valuable, and with the development of the times, the threat of the thunder season has become weaker and weaker, and the security of the outskirts of the city and even outside the city has also increased significantly.

A network of railways, which brought fast transportation and freight to colleagues, also divided this wasteland.

The dissipated demonic fog, as well as the stations and outposts of the railway network, make this wasteland not deserted, and now a population of several hundred can also build their own towns on the railway network.

Small towns, small towns, satellite towns, and far towns, many of the terms actually refer to a group, a small and medium-sized town close to Neotonia, but independent.

There are many such small towns, which are also the result of the increasing overflow of population and living pressure in Neotonia City, and the four satellite cities closest to Neotonia City (Yuancheng District) also assume some of the urban functions of Neotonia City.

For example, the Woodreis District, where the headquarters of the Tianyan Mercenary Group is located, is a special magic factory area on the city's planning map.

On the planning map of the New Tonya City Government, there are more than 40 heavy industrial magic enterprises, large and small, and the high-polluting and high-consumption magic factory occupies seventy percent of the industrial land in the urban area, the cheap industrial land is used to produce various war machines and magic equipment, and the rest of the land is used to assemble environmental protection facilities and garbage dumps.

What about people? Express rail transit allows workers in the city to come in the morning and leave in the evening.

But now, the expected big chimneys and big freight Rorschach didn't see it, the big trucks full of oil and sand and gravel didn't see it, and even the expected stench of the waste-fired power plant and landfill didn't smell it.

Neat garden villas, elegant and beautiful running tracks around the lake, lake villas built along the lake, and the largest number of apartment office buildings and parks.

There are no busy workers and vehicles, only couples with small pets and children playing around, and it is a laid-back garden town, which is really a paradise in the world....... What a ghost!

"What the hell is this! We really didn't go wrong?"

After getting off the train station and taking a horse-drawn carriage (except for the official non-direct arrival), Rorschach looked at the stop sign and was speechless.

Of course, he knew that he was not wrong, as a core member of the city board of directors, the urban planning must be done by himself, and the urban construction plan of the far city area should be reviewed by himself.

Although the construction period has been less than three years, the last time he visited, it was still a wasteland, and now it is indeed a garden, and if it weren't for his near-illusion immunity, he still wondered if he had fallen for some evil magic.

But soon, he understood everything.

"These bastards, you really dare to play......"

Rorschach is not a fledgling brother, even if he can't anticipate other people's designs and tricks, but when the problem is in front of him, after a little thought, the conclusion comes out.

It is now the seventh year of the Federation, and the biggest difference before and after the establishment of the Federation is that this wasteland has a new owner.

The development strategy formulated by Rorschach is to exchange land and natural resources for real material and financial support, accelerate the pace of development, and make every effort to prepare for war.

To put it simply, it is to sell land for money to buy guns.

Once this grand strategy is in place, every piece of land, especially the land around New Tonia City, is a very valuable asset.

According to the development plan, it is used for the construction of various industrial plants, which will be used to provide spare parts and downstream industries for the core military factories in the central urban area, as well as some new factories and facilities.

Now, people are using the land to build real estate and residential development...... Rorschach thought with his feet, and knew that the profits could be terrifyingly high.

The price of land for industrial production areas is leased to individual factories, and although there is no difference between the tenure of fifty or sixty years (which can be extended at no cost) and the sale and sale, the price is extremely low, after all, it is part of the city's development strategy and is a necessary infrastructure investment.

Combined with the necessary investment in roads, water and electricity infrastructure, it is possible to sell industrial land at a loss, but over time, the tax revenue from the factories will make up for this income, and it will also provide a large number of jobs, which is a stable and long-term income.

The real estate transaction is commercial real estate, which is a one-time land sale, a commercial transaction in exchange for resources and funds, and is the mainstay income of the Federation, but in the long run, the income of the Federation is not large, and the majority of the income is the real estate developer.

Generally speaking, the price difference between industrial land and commercial real estate is ten times, and it is possible to vary by 100 times or 1,000 times according to the location, and the income from the sale of a commercial land king is enough to make up for the loss of an industrial block.

And Rorschach remembers very well that the construction plan of this far-flung town has not been modified, and the factory is gone, and only living quarters and commercial real estate are in front of it.

At this moment, it was the bold Rorschach, and cold sweat was dripping from his forehead.

"This group of bastards is also too bold, they take the land in the industrial area as real estate and sell it for money....... They've coveted a whole city!"

Frowning, Rorschach felt that there was too much of a cat in it.

It is impossible for one or two people to do this kind of thing, it is impossible for one organization or one force to do it, and it is only possible for a group of high-level officials and a bunch of churches to deceive and conceal it.

“...... They're crazy, they think we'll never find out?"

[It's really possible, the construction plan of the new urban area, which is connected with the new urban area, they say that it is the new real estate built by the original factory selling land, who can say clearly. The two sides have been tossed together for two years, and there is a big construction and big mix, but they can't tell the difference between the drawings. 】

Rorschach felt a little confused, there were too many tricks in the city, and he wanted to go back to the countryside.

"But there is no problem with the military factories in the central city, their spare parts ......"

Halfway through the questioning, Rorschach also guessed that the planned magic factory must exist, but it should be in a more remote area.

“...... These bastards are so daring, but they're always going to be discovered, right? There's no such thing as an impermeable wall. I kind of know why there are always problems in the construction of direct trains. ”

【...... It's been more than two years, and after another two or three years of fighting, who cares about them? Besides, they have gone out and the money has come in, so what's the point of tracking them down afterwards, and everyone has run away with the money. 】

As soon as Rorschach and Luo Li discussed, they almost figured out the ins and outs of the matter, and also figured out some of the other party's tricks.

For example, Rorschach and other high-level officials also came down to check on them occasionally, and they were all receptions arranged by grassroots personnel..... At that time, the team was probably taken by them to the real magic factory, no wonder the same factory was inspected every time.

discussed, discussed, discussed, but the final conclusion was very terrifying.

“...... No, we're the only ones who don't know. ”

The so-called high place is unbearable, Rorschach felt it for the first time, and this time, the chill was from the soles of his feet all the way to the tail vertebrae, and he was really frightened.

“...... Or, let's not check, go back and wash and sleep, and let them toss around?"

[Okay.] 】
