Chapter 421: No Comparison, No Harm
"Your Excellency, President Simon, President of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce, and Mr. Cameroon, the head of the Dawn Tavern, have asked to see you. A security captain who received a report from the team members below hurriedly said to the angry Captain Villa.
"I haven't gone to them yet, but they've sent them to the door, and I'm going to see what they're up to. Captain Villa was stunned, obviously their visit was a bit unexpected, "Please." ”
By the time Captain Villa met with the two famous tycoons of the new industrial chain, he had already performed the face-changing magic technique, and he couldn't see the tyranny just now on his body, and he had the faint arrogance of the nobility on his face, and he was quite cold to them, and he couldn't see that he wanted anything from them.
It's one thing to be embarrassed or not to lose face, it's one thing for him to need their cooperation, it's another thing for them to take the initiative to ask for a meeting, no matter what he says, he is still in power, and there are high-level people with names and surnames in Valesta, and they have condescended to receive them, and they have already given them enough face.
This is still because of the background of the three-day carnival, otherwise they wouldn't even have a chance to meet him.
After a little greeting, President Simon said straight to the point: " We have just received a notice from the President of the General Chamber, His Excellency Baron Eternal Night, that in the next three days we will fully assist the royal family in preparing for this year's New Year's carnival, and our manpower and material resources have begun to be deployed, but we have little experience in this area, and we are not clear about the arrangements of the royal family。 ”
At first, Captain Villa could still hold on, and slowly a smile began to diffuse.
What is it called?
It's called drowsiness, someone sends a pillow!
Just now he was still racking his brains, trying to calculate the other party.
Unexpectedly, the other party not only took the initiative to send it to the door, but also cooperated incomparably.
As the head of Valesta's security team, he dealt with the city's three sects and nine streams all day long, but he saw the Valesta Chamber of Commerce grow and grow at a snowball speed from existence to nothing, and he knew very well the influence he had on them.
It is no exaggeration to say that this group has become the largest unofficial organization in Valesta.
With their full assistance, the security team is equivalent to an additional 50,000 troops out of thin air, and the total number of security teams in the entire Valesta is only more than 30,000 people.
How much stress does this have to relieve them?
It's no wonder that as a big knight, Captain Villa is also a little out of control of his emotions.
This made him involuntarily feel a little fond of the unmasked nouveau riche baron.
Although he still disagrees with the other party's usual style of acting, at least the other party is a very interesting person.
Before Villa could digest the news, Cameroon, the head of the Dawn Tavern, added: " We also got the news here, asking us to fully cooperate, but our nature is different from the situation of President Simon, we need to rely on the tavern, so when the time comes, we need the security team to help the personnel drainage, before midnight, we will count the detailed information of each tavern, especially the number of times we serve guests in a single hour, after the official start, we can do all the taverns in two to three hours to summarize the situation, if possible, I hope that the security team can allocate some manpower to cooperate with our actions. ”
Compared to President Simon, who has a very low attitude, the person in charge of the Dawn Tavern is much more crazy.
This madness does not refer to gestures, and Cameroon has always been the same as President Simon, with the mercenary smile of a businessman, and the tone of voice is as respectful as it can be, and it is just a matter of saying, sir, how can I help you?
His madness refers to the context.
To some extent, President Simon came to ask for help, and the underlying implication was that we had no manpower, but no experience, and they were afraid that when the time came, they would use the wrong strength, delay things, and easily cause bad things, so they were prepared to cooperate with the security team.
Although Cameroon also asked for help, the context was completely reversed, not that they cooperated with the security forces, but that they asked the security forces to cooperate with them.
In normal times, Captain Villa's face had long since become gloomy.
At this moment, not only did he not have the slightest anti-customer displeasure, but hurriedly asked: "How do you manage to summarize the situation every two or three hours?"
He wished that the Dawn Tavern would be as strong as possible, and that the more pressure he could help them share in that time.
The Dawn Tavern is not the name of a tavern, but a brand name, and there are as many as 100 taverns with this sign in Valesta, distributed in all corners of the royal capital.
Each Dawn Tavern is an all-round all-round type that combines dining and accommodation.
In comparison, they are professional in this aspect, and Villa's attention to them is still above the Valesta Chamber of Commerce.
"The Eagle sends a message. Cameroon responded lightly, invisibly but deeply containing the way of 13.
Captain Villa couldn't help coughing a few times, almost choking on his own saliva, and felt like a dog in China.
Comparisons are odious.
Of course he knew, not only did he know, but he had already experienced the convenience of it.
As the head of security in Valesta, he was the first batch to be equipped with exclusive flying eagles, after tasting the convenience he bringed, he immediately submitted an application to the royal family for a full installation, if each security team branch set up a few exclusive flying eagles, then the entire security team will become a whole, once there is a problem at a certain point, other branches will get the news as soon as possible, and respond.
But his suggestion, which he thought was extremely reasonable, was rejected by the royal family without hesitation.
It's not that they can't see the benefits, it's that the Flying Eagle is too expensive, they order a limited number from the Eternal Night Commander, and they need to give priority to the border guards, and the main army of the major armies, even the Valesta City Defense Army, is far above their security team.
The cruel reality once made Captain Villa very sad.
But Cameroon's answer made him feel the urge to vomit blood, and none of their dignified security forces were able to popularize the Flying Eagle Story, and a chain tavern was playing a thief.
"So you've built a complete Eagle Messenger network?" asked Villa confirmatively.
"That's right. Cameroon nodded, "This is what we have to do when every Dawn Tavern is built." ”
There is no need to hide this, their Flying Eagle Network is purely commercial.
The Hawkeyes of the Hawkeye Secret Service of the Eternal Night Army will not do it so blatantly, and they have more hidden hidden lines.
This matter can't be hidden from the eyes of Captain Villa, as long as they send people to pay attention to it, they can get the information they want from the law of the eagle's rise and fall.
"Great. Villa slapped the table heavily, and decided on the spot: "Starting from midnight tonight, all the major branches of our security team will be relocated to the nearest dawn tavern, which won't cause you too much trouble, right?"
He's not the kind of person who is easily swayed by all kinds of negative emotions, he's very good at making trade-offs, and it doesn't matter if his security team doesn't have a Flying Eagle Messenger Network, they can use the Dawn Tavern.
In this way, he can coordinate the overall situation, reasonably arrange his manpower, and allocate various materials, and can strangle all kinds of unexpected situations in the initial stage.
Cameroon hesitated slightly, nodded and said: "It is our honor to be able to serve the captain, but our Flying Eagle communication network is relatively thin, the lines are not so dense, and the transmission efficiency is relatively low. ”
"Something is better than nothing, no matter how slow it is, it is faster than a person. Captain Villa laughed, "Since it's okay, then let's just decide, what are you still stupid for?" Move, move, there are still four hours until midnight, you only have four hours left to prepare, before midnight, I want you to make all the preparations." ”
The two major boosts that were automatically sent to the door made most of the dark clouds in Captain Villa's heart dissipate.
To be honest, before this, the captain of Villa did not even have the confidence to survive the three-day New Year's carnival, but now it is 50% more.
From this point of view, he seems to have wronged Her Royal Highness the Princess Regent a little, the other party is not a brainless decision, and it is estimated that he has already considered and prepared deeply.
Villa didn't believe that these two great helpers and the Baron of Eternal Night standing behind them had such a high level of consciousness, and he sent Baba to the door, and it must have been Sophielia's help.
Anything can affect the whole body, especially a large-scale celebration that involves millions of people.
A lot of the preparation has already begun before the official start begins.
The security force, led by Villa, is just one of the epitomes.
They are the main security officers who maintain the entire celebration, but they are not the root cause.
The root of it is the points that give out free bread and drink, and they have to stock up on food like crazy before that.
A free piece of bread for each person, a free glass of beer, and millions of servings each, let alone for three days.
This kind of national activity is sometimes just a gimmick, and it may not meet everyone's needs, and many people will not be able to receive a free piece of bread or a free beer in line for a day.
Of course, this is only theoretical data.
The actual situation is not so bad, as an inherent carnival activity, after so many years of development, it has already formed its own unique process.
Not all citizens will take to the streets to receive free food and drink.
This is what only people who live at the bottom of this city do.
Those who have their own status, status, and wealth not only do not accept free food and drink, but they are givers.
First, this will be regarded as a response to the call of the royal family, and it will be discussed in the future, especially those lords and nobles, if they do not show strong cooperation and support for the royal family at this time, who knows if they will be settled by the queen in the future?
Second, the New Year's carnival is also seen as a reward for the past year, the lord to the attendants and maids who have served him for a year, the merchant to the apprentices and employees who have worked for him for a year, and so on.
Whenever a relationship of allegiance is formed, especially when interests are involved, those who are allegiance are invited to feast on those who are loyal to them.
Banquets vary in size, from those that are grand in size to those that simply distribute bread and wine.
No matter how humble it may be, it must be shown that those who are loyal according to the old custom will restrain those who owe allegiance to themselves and prevent them from receiving free food from others, including those of the royal family.
Because if they do, they are usually seen as those who are loyal to them, and they can't even afford to feed those who are loyal to them.
This is not a matter of being shamed and laughed at, and being looked down upon.
Rather, it is a big question of future development.
Don't think it's a joke.
If they can't even feed their own allegiances, how can they expect new allegiances to pledge their allegiance?
What is there to be loyal to a person who is loyal to him, who, after a year of hard work for him, is still stingy with a little bit of food?
It's better to find an opportunity and leave early.
Therefore, even the lords and nobles who usually pick the door again, at this time, they must open their pockets and show the highest standard to entertain their attendants in order to show their sincerity.
Even those at the bottom of the gang are no exception.
More precisely, they value this more.
Because what unites them is loyalty and righteousness, if they can't even feed their brothers and their families, what qualifications do they have?
Thirdly, some of the more affluent free citizens usually do not join the ranks, preferring to stay with their families and share food.
It's a matter of pure face.
"Although there are still a lot of citizens who like to take advantage of the small advantages mixed in, but the current has been divided, we need to face not so many people, the preliminary estimate is between two or three hundred thousand, at most no more than four hundred thousand, if this number is exceeded, after the year I will visit Valesta's lords and nobles one by one, and ask them what they have been eating in the past year, or are they dissatisfied with their new king. ”
When the last sentence was spoken, Princess Regent Sophia was furious.
In the end, her visit was by no means as simple as a visit in an ordinary artistic conception, but an out-and-out questioning of the teacher.
Because this involves a statement of opinion against the new king coming to the forefront, those who make a mess at this time will definitely be classified into the ranks of those who are dissatisfied with the new king.
In order to clear the way for Prince Laurie to ascend to the throne, the princess regent had to go on a killing spree.
The lords and nobles who can mingle in the royal capital Valesta are all foxes with a super developed political smell, and they can easily read the deep meaning contained in it.
Even if you dare to perfunctory New Year's carnival in previous years, you don't dare this year.
Sean was dumbfounded, always feeling that this holiday tradition was a bit strange, but the fact was that all kinds of information were coming back at a rapid pace, as of noon today, the people who received the free food obviously did not match the total population of Valesta, only about two and a half percent.
Many people, as Sophia said, automatically gathered at their allegiances, where a feast awaited them, and how could they wait in a long line to receive free food from the royal family.
With the help of the Dawn Tavern and the Valesta Chamber of Commerce, the situation was a little easier than expected, and the Flying Eagle Transmission Network of the Dawn Tavern played a role that could not be ignored.
It transforms the entire Valesta security force into a single unit, allowing them to allocate personnel, food, and even artificially divert personnel according to the situation at each point.
To make everyone satisfied and dare not say, in a hurry, there were not too many vicious incidents, which is already a success.
Sean can only sigh that there are no wonders in the world.
Valesta must have formed such a unique custom for a profound historical reason.
Once anything is conventional, and forms a concept, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, when everyone is conformist, no matter how incredible things are, things will be natural.
The only thing Sean can do is to do as the locals do, according to their customs.
"But this time it's still thanks to you, especially the Eagle Transmission Network at your Dawn Tavern. Princess Regent Sophie looked at Sean with a smile, and the word Flying Eagle Biography Network bit very hard.
I almost didn't ask, what exactly do you want to do?
"Purely commercial, it is used to exchange business information and facilitate the regulation of materials. Sean replied a little weakly.
It's not that they really want to do something with this Flying Eagle Book Network, but this one, they seem to be running a little too fast.
After all, Valesta is the core seat of the Lancelot royal family, and the security teams that maintain law and order have not yet achieved this level.
If someone does this in their own territory, they will definitely feel uncomfortable.
