Chapter 247 Tradition
The word forbearance is a knife in his heart.
If it's just a man who can endure the humiliation of his crotch is nothing, he is a spiritual giant who can lie down and turn up. There is no doubt that Liverani is a giant on the spiritual level, and the same thing happened to Lao Cui, who had already held a big knife, or hacked others to death, or died on the way to hack others.
If Li Muye hadn't hid in the tree and witnessed the ruthlessness of his shot at Emre, he might really be confused by his weak statement at the moment. And at this moment, the more humble he became, the more Li Muye shuddered.
"Let's talk about the conditions. Li Muye said: "I showed you what you want to see, is there anything you are interested in?"
"I'm not sure what I can give you. "But I'm 100% sincere in solving the problem, and if I can do it, please don't hesitate to ask." ”
"Why don't you talk about Her Royal Highness first? Li Muye sat down and said casually.
Riverani hesitated visibly and said, "Are you sure you want to know?"
"It's just curious. Li Muye smiled: "If there is anything inconvenient, forget it." ”
"No, there's nothing you can't say, just to remind you that there are some things that may not be good for you. ”
Li Muye said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, I didn't know anything before, but trouble still came to the door, and the things in the Ural Mountains were not caused by me." ”
"Yes. "Since you insist, I'll be happy to advise." So he told the story.
In the eighteenth century, Europe was in an era of imperial and theocracy rivalry, and democratic political ideas were nurtured but not yet germinated. The Holy Roman Empire gave birth to a legendary woman, Maria Theresa, who ruled Austria for 40 years, raised 16 children, and was known as the queen of European mothers-in-law. Before the Victorian era began, one of the most glorious strokes in European history was written by Maria Theresa.
Anyone will die, and inheritance is the meaning of life. This inheritance should include not only wealth and power, but also faith and will. In addition to her storied political career of forty years, Theresa left behind countless children and grandchildren, as well as the special network of relationships formed by the wealth and power of these descendants.
In 1789, a vigorous revolution broke out in the French Empire, and democratic politics changed the European political landscape from conception to germination and then to explosion. By this time, although Maria Theresa had been in power for nineteen years, her descendants had blossomed everywhere, forming a large aristocratic community in all corners of Europe.
These descendants were the well-deserved elite power of the mainstream European society of that era, they possessed wealth, power and fame, and they continued to grow in power in the pursuit of fame and fortune, while dominating the survival and development of almost all walks of life. However, in the face of the surging democracy, when witnessing the nobles being hanged one by one in this turbulent tide, even they can only choose to retreat.
However, simple concessions could not satisfy those democratic bigwigs who were eager to grasp the wealth of society and consolidate their rights, so under the pressure of the democratic army step by step, an ancient underground organization that has been passed down to this day was born, and this organization is called the Imperial Power Alliance. Nominally deprived of their political privileges and ostensibly rejecting their nobility, they have in fact succeeded in retaining their former wealth roots and forging vast power alliances on the other side of the world.
It is an organization that is not well known to the public, with little name but everywhere, and its influence has penetrated every corner of Europe in two hundred years of low-key development. They are numerous, tied by blood, and implement a membership system, and the basic members are mostly middle-class and exist in various fields. In Europe, as small as a lawsuit or a medical advance, as big as the birth of the European Union and the euro, it is possible that they are quietly exerting influence.
While many of the established powers focused their operations on North America, they still stubbornly stuck to Europe.
Liverani said the organization has a unique system for electing its leaders. It's a bit like the U.S. election, but it's not exactly the same.
Every ten years they carry out a change of power, which is co-chaired by members of the League's Senate. The selection is open to both men and women and includes every member of the organization. Even the youngest new members who have just turned 18 are eligible to participate.
At the time of the general election, they would choose a secret place where outsiders could not participate, gather all the participating members together, show their talents, give speeches and debates, and finally select two seeded contestants, and then the Council of Elders will test these two people, and the first finisher wins.
The final test is often extremely difficult and takes a year to complete, during which time the faster the better. The content is not fixed, and sometimes the candidate will go to a company that is on the verge of collapse, climb to the top as soon as possible within a year, and find a way to bring the company back to life as quickly as possible. In other cases, candidates may be required to enter a government department in a European country, reach a required position within a year, or resolve a difficult incident.
Her Royal Highness is the current head of the Imperial Alliance.
Riverani didn't know exactly what her name was, what she looked like, how old she was, or where she lived. The members of the Imperial Power League have openly secular status, and the person who can be elected as the head of a large group or the political leader of a certain country may be a lawyer, a doctor, a scientist in a certain industry, or a teacher holding a book in an obscure school.
Li Muye fell into a long contemplation, for now, the imperial alliance in Livirani's mouth is still far away from himself, two hundred years later, the inheritance of resources left over from the imperial politics of more than a dozen countries, what kind of behemoth should it be today?
No wonder Chairman Markov told Diana not to delve into the affairs of the Ural Mountains, this trip is too deep for the current Makino Group to delve into to the end.
Liverani continued: "Regarding the affairs of Lyusinsky and Chairman Markov and the Ural Mountains, I am indeed entrusted by the Imperial Alliance to do this, in fact, the entire Sicilian mafia organization is under the control of the Imperial Alliance, Her Royal Highness the Princess sent a representative named Emre to me, this Emre had an accident while hunting not long ago, and I can continue to stand still until I am sure of Her Royal Highness's follow-up instructions." ”
"Why did you kill Markov?" Li Muye asked, "What are the secrets in the Ural Mountains?"
"Markov is a member of the Elders' House of Elders of the Holy Alliance of the Orthodox Grand Dukes, an organization that is hostile to the Imperial Alliance. "They are equal in strength, and they have been fighting in secret for many years, more than ten years ago, the influence of the Imperial Alliance once occupied the initiative in the late Soviet Union, but now it is becoming more and more weakened, Lyusinsky's men have discovered a high content of rare metal veins in the Ural Mountains, he is a peripheral member of the Imperial Alliance......"
"Wait a minute, what is a marginal member?"
"That is, if someone in the matrilineal family is a full member, a quasi-member with a certain social value and recognized by the Imperial Alliance, such a person can be absorbed into a full member after establishing a stable marriage relationship. "Actually, I'm also a peripheral member. ”
"Understood. Li Muye said: "It's the likes of Xun Qi, not officially the emperor's relatives, but it's almost the same." ”
Liverani said, "You can understand it that way. ”
Li Muye said: "I heard that you have a big plan, can you tell me the details?"
Liverani hesitated for a moment, and then said, "These things don't really have much to do with you, you really don't need to get involved too much." ”
"Sir, please answer my question well. Li Muye said strongly: "Although the theme of our agreement today is reunion, if you can't provide information that I think is valuable, I will also give you a discount on the issue of returning your family, and I will do what I say!"
"Since you insist, all right. ”
Livelani said: "The things found in the Ural Mountains are very important, maybe they don't belong to the earth, in short, we don't have time to investigate in detail, after Lyusinsky was destroyed by you, there was also a blockade, and we were in a hurry to fish him out in order to implement the situation there as soon as possible, and find a way to work within the Russian Federal Government, and strive to get the closure there as soon as possible, the Imperial Alliance likes to outsource some shady things, so we contacted the people in the city that never sleeps." ”
"If you tell me such important information, aren't you afraid that the Imperial Alliance will settle accounts with you?"
"Believe me, even if you know the whole truth, you won't be able to stop the Imperial Alliance from completing their plans. "I can excuse myself for a while, but there's nothing I can do to stop them from running any of their plans, I know you're a powerful person, but they say they have more influence than the world thinks, and if they go all out, they can even put the leader of any major EU member state in trouble." ”
Li Muye smiled and said, "Why should I stop them from doing things? Those things have nothing to do with me, unless they want to deal with me, otherwise, why should I go to this troubled water?" At that time, the incident in the Ural Mountains was also mentioned, and she said that Markov did not advise us to participate, so she hastily ended the discussion on this matter on this ground.
She must know something, but it was inconvenient to tell Brother Ono for fear that it would be inconvenient to say it if she was not good to ask, so she deliberately diverted the topic. Li Muye immediately thought that Diana had never said anything about herself, but she deliberately concealed it in this matter, perhaps out of confidentiality discipline, or perhaps for the purpose of protection, and did not want to be involved too deeply and provoke herself. But at the same time, Li Muye thought again, she didn't let Brother Xiaoye inquire blindly, so how deeply involved was she?
"You just mentioned the Orthodox Grand Duke's Holy Alliance, what kind of organization is this?"
