Chapter 1037
Evenson plans to return to Earth, and this time it has been half a year since he came out, far exceeding his original expectations.
And the one who has been following him is Gabriel, his old godmother-in-law. If he doesn't go back, then it is estimated that the Ereda Twins will live with Claire.
More likely, the two female demons will have their black and white photos ready, maybe the memorial service will be finished, and the money collected will not be distributed to them.
So now that things are almost over, we have to go back quickly. But before that, he still has to stay in Sandar for a short time.
He needs to give a copy of the text of the covenant signed with the Cree this time, and by the way, he also needs to say goodbye. Of course, the most important thing is that Frigga has allowed herself to divide some interests that are not too excessive in Shandar. Evenson intends to take advantage of this to finalize that share.
"How's that, Siv. How does it feel to have your own province?" said Evenson with a smile as he walked into Sif Sever's makeshift office.
After all, I am here to ask for benefits, of course, I have to make people happy first, and people are usually more generous when they are happy.
But as soon as he entered, he found that the atmosphere in the room was not right, and Sif sat behind a large desk with a sad face, and Alfie Heeld sat on the other side, his face not ugly, but his brow was full of sorrow.
Evenson immediately restrained his expression, did not speak, put the text of the covenant on Sif's desk, and began to read the words.
"You're back. Sif sighed, glanced at the file briefly, looked up, and said, "It's a little later than expected." ”
"Hmm," Evenson nodded, "on the way back, there were some special circumstances. ”
"Oh. Shifmuna replied, and didn't continue to ask.
But the more he looks like this, the more uncertain Evenson's heart becomes, can he still talk about the benefits of this state for a while? So he tentatively asked, "Is there any trouble in government affairs?" After asking, he was relieved, "You are in charge of a province for the first time, and you don't have too much experience in government affairs, so it is normal to feel that there are some difficulties, so you don't take it to heart." ”
"Yes and no. After hearing this, Sif gave such an ambiguous answer: "I haven't officially handed over to the Nova Legion yet, so I don't have any government affairs to deal with." ”
"Huh?" Evenson frowned, now that Shandar's economy had been completely scrapped due to the crazy depreciation of the currency, it stands to reason that the government should be handed over immediately and a new system should be established.
But Sif dragged this matter on, which shows that he is really in trouble.
"Do you need me to help you participate in the cooperation?" After Evenson finished saying this, he saw that Sif Sif 's eyes lit up, so he said in a big way, "If you really need it, Sif you are in the middle of the ban, and I will listen to the foreign affairs of Lao Ai." ”
It's not that Evenson thinks he's idle, and he has to take care of himself. This is mainly because as long as there is a job, there is a certain power to support the work. With the right, in the absence of supervision, then you can carry out some ... Something to see.
In particular, the current situation in Xandar is still relatively chaotic, so it will be easier to catch it.
"I'm afraid the problems we are facing now are not so easy to solve. At this time, Alfi Heard's spoke: "First of all... Governor Sif was assassinated several times during this time. ”
"What?" Evenson raised an eyebrow, "Who did that?"
"A rebel group known as the National Salvation Army. Alfi Hilde's mouth curled into a mocking smile, "Their idea is to get rid of us and restore Shandal's independence." ”
"So soon...", Evenson was not in the least surprised that there would be a rebel group. After all, Xandar is a planet with a large population, and it is not surprising that there are a few bold and bloody among so many people.
But this kind of thing needs time to ferment, leadership, organization, and connection, all of which take time.
Moreover, this kind of resistance organization can only make small moves in the corners when it is first formed. But it was only a long time before they had the ability to launch multiple assassinations against Sif .
First of all, the speed at which they formed the system was too fast, and it was strange that they were able to grasp the whereabouts of Sif the current supreme leader of Xandal.
Thinking of this, Evenson easily came to the conclusion that "they have someone behind them." And that person, or those people, has a lot of energy in Shandar. ”
"That's right. Alfi Heard apparently thought so, too: "In terms of their weaponry, they are better than most of the active soldiers of the Nova Legion." This is enough to prove that he has considerable financial resources and a certain status. ”
"And most likely someone close to you. Evenson added, "Having been able to track Sif many times, he must know you well, at least you have his eyes and ears by your side." ”
"This... I'm not so sure. Speaking of this, Alfie Heard's face became weird, and then he gritted his teeth in a complaining tone and said, "It's all to blame on some people, it's too unstable to do things." ”
When Sif heard this, the roots of his ears turned red, and he instantly lowered his head deeply.
"It's you, just know how to bow your head!" Alfie Heard was unforgiving, pinching his waist and counting at Sif, "I really don't know what you think, as the governor of the province, you actually ran alone to the folk tavern to drink and party!"
"Can you believe it?! The first time she was assassinated, she didn't even notice it!"
Sif is now receptive to Frigga's new ideas, but she is still an old-school Asgardian in her habits.
Wine, for her, is an essential thing in life, and this is understandable. Moreover, with her current status, no matter what kind of good wine it is, as long as it is on Shandar, she can get it for her, so that she can drink enough.
But let her be like a lady, holding a glass of wine at the bottom of the study and licking it slowly one by one, this is not enjoyment, this is sin!
She had to enjoy the high atmosphere in the chaotic tavern, drinking and eating meat, that was called pleasure. So her whereabouts don't need to be investigated at all, and anyone with a discerning eye knows it.
And when Sif was assassinated for the first time, the other party probably also wanted to act secretly. So quietly ambush, quietly surround, and then quietly move.
As a result, Sif who drank in a daze took this completely as a tavern brawl. Her whole body was instantly ablaze, and she grabbed the stool in one hand and the ham in the other, and scooped the assassins one by one.
"The drinking thing... The thing about drinking in Asgard... How can it be called unstable?" Sif lowered her head, like a child of eighteen hundred years old, and explained hesitantly, "I'm... Rejoice with the people, yes, I am rejoicing with the people, and establish my good image among the people!"
Sif was telling the truth, she was indeed having fun with the people, at least in the next few moments, after she was surrounded by well-organized and well-armed assassins with Xandar and even the most advanced energy firearms in the universe, she drew her long sword and slashed wildly, killing people with blood all over the ground. He turned his head and spit on the corpse on the ground, and said mockingly, I'm sorry gentlemen, times have changed!
At this time, she really felt very happy!
Alfi Heard glared fiercely, the unassuming governor didn't know what to say for a while.
"But... They're so bold. Evenson also shook his head, "What kind of existence the Asgardian Valkyries are, they should have known for a long time." Even if they didn't know it at first, they should have known that after several waves of assassins had all been wiped out, they would have dared to continue to act, should I say that this is stupid?"
"Obviously. Alfi Heard's eyes narrowed, "Although these things are ostensibly assassinations, I think they are actually intimidation in essence. ”
"Your previous poisonous plan to collapse Shandar's economic system is something that is unacceptable to vested interests, that is, the original chaebols. Although that message was spread in the form of a rumor, and we have always issued statements against it, anyone with a discerning eye can see who wants this situation the most. ”
"So they sent the Assassins, perhaps not expecting to succeed in killing Sif but as a sign that they would not agree with us and wanted us to change our minds. ”
The chaebol can ignore the change of dynasty, and can even enthusiastically support the new dynasty and Yazheng, but it is absolutely not allowed to move their cake, not to mention that this time it is even more desperate, and directly flip the table, if they can accept it, there will be ghosts.
"Now I can be sure, haha," Evenson needed to be happy as if he had heard some funny joke, "They were stupid, very stupid. ”
"That's right. Alfie Hilde, you also smiled and nodded, "I asked the Nova Supreme, in the past, whenever the Nova Legion wanted to launch a new economic policy or reform the currency, they would resort to similar means. Maybe it's so easy to use, and it's actually copied against us, how stupid it is!"
The Asgard and former Sandar governments are fundamentally different. Asgard was a feudal dynasty with authoritarian politics. What the rulers want to do, they actually try to threaten assassination, and you can't kill people. This is the biggest provocation to the power of the dynasty, and it is simply sending the neck under the knife.
After Evenson understood the general situation, he felt strange again, "Isn't this too difficult to do? Find out who is behind it, it doesn't matter if you don't know it well, assassinating the governor is equivalent to killing the king and plotting rebellion, and the family property is confiscated. ”
"Hehe," Alfi Heard laughed and said nothing. But Sif looked up at this time, "They're not dead yet. ”
"Oh?" Evenson's eyes rolled, and there must be a demon when something goes wrong, "What are you planning?"
"It's always easier to break something than to build it. Alfi Heard turned his back and said incomprehensibly, "The old economic system has been destroyed, but how can we rebuild it? ”
The situation in Shandar is much worse now than it was during the Great Depression on the eve of World War II. As the original currency is reduced to waste paper, it is only a matter of time before families below the middle class go bankrupt in an instant, and wealthy families go bankrupt.
The reason why there were so many people in the tavern that Sif went to, and the atmosphere was so high, was just their revelry before the desperate apocalypse.
The situation now is that the factories are closed, everyone is selling everything, the peasants are not willing to transport grain to the cities at a loss, and no one organizes to buy it. When they could not afford to preserve it, they had to destroy the surplus agricultural products.
The air force of the original Nova Legion has been completely wiped out, but there are still many remnants of the army, but they can't pay their salaries, so they can only live on the original war supplies, and there is a great possibility that they will become chaotic soldiers in a while.
"The destruction was so complete that we didn't know how to salvage it. Alfie Heard thought it was annoyed and amused: "When you first came up with the idea, didn't you think about how to recover?"
Sorry, Warlock is DPS, Milkman is not my job!, and I don't tie soul stones to a country's economy.
"Many people are now on the verge of starvation, and it won't be long before people die of starvation. At that time, I am afraid that there will be a large-scale riot. ”
"It's not difficult to forcibly suppress the riots, even if everyone on this planet rebels, we can suppress them. But when that kind of scene really happens, the diva will definitely be unhappy and question our ability. Speaking of this, Alfie Heard couldn't help but clench his fists, "Disappointing the queen is my biggest shame." ”
"So we came up with an idea. Sif stood up at this time and said as if he were a, "A good idea." ”
Evenson also asked cooperatively, "What's the idea?" ”
"Mountain people rule mountains, mountain people save themselves. "Sif reveals the mystery" We urgently set up a Nova Self-Rescue Committee, all composed of Xanders, led by the chaebols who assassinated me. ”
"We have given this committee great privileges, including the collection of materials, the allocation of materials, the distribution of materials, all through this committee, other channels of material circulation will be considered illegal, they have the right to directly intercept the materials. ”
Evenson smelled a sense of conspiracy in it, "They... It should work according to your expectations, right?"
"That's right. Alfi Heard smiled siniestly, "Those chaebols saw that we not only did not pursue the assassination, but gave them such a big privilege, so they thought that we had compromised, and they dared to let go of it." ”
"They snatch everything useful for nothing in an almost, no, completely robbery way. Many buildings were recruited to be used as refugee shelters, but they were filled with administrators, all of whom were related to them, except for the caregivers and refugees. ”
"There are countless examples of goods that should have been distributed to refugees for free piled up in warehouses and secretly resold at exorbitant prices. ”
"It's so blatant?!" Evenson was surprised, even if his heart was stuffed with money, he wouldn't be so desperate!
"Their books are very beautiful. Sif laughed, "They think we Asgardians who lead troops to war can't read the ledger." It's true, and many people really don't understand it. ”
"But those of us who have high-ranking military positions can't understand it? If we don't understand the allocation of military funds, the distribution of food and salaries, and so on, how can we lead the troops? How can we still eat empty salaries... Ahem, I didn't say the latter sentence. ”
"What they are doing now, if they are judged according to the law of the Queen of Heaven, then they should be stripped of their skins and punished, and after they die, their ashes will be buried at the crossroads to be trampled by all generations!"
"I see. Evenson laughed, "If you had killed them for assassination, they might have become martyrs against tyranny, but now they are all the most heinous embezzlers, and if it were a public trial, Xandar would probably want to kill them." ”
"And, in the face of the present predicament, you have urgently set up committees, and have given them great privileges, so that no one can say that you are inactive. ”
"They expropriated and looted the materials and took all the notoriety, but in the end, after they were liquidated, these materials will fall into your hands, one by trickery and the other to save the suffering, and the good name will be attributed to the queen of heaven!"
"Finally, you can even say that the rumor that caused the devaluation of the currency was spread by them in order to create the current situation, and the discontent and hatred of the people were transferred to them. ”
"Not bad, not bad. Evenson nodded again and again, and praised Alfi Heelde, "If you can come up with these tricks, you can be a warlock!"
"Speak well, why are you scolding!"
