Chapter 11: The War of the Trusts

"First of all, judging from the content of the suicide note, it is clear that the professor has made some controversial remarks in public."

"Second, since the suicide note was forged by the murderer, it is likely that these remarks were the cause of the professor's death, causing the murderer to use his name to erase the adverse effects of his previous remarks."

"Since it was published in front of the public, and there is a more serious adverse effect, the greatest possibility is ......"

"Ever been in the newspaper?" Mia asked.

"That's right." Mi'er said.

So the two little girls began to look for the newspaper again. Unfortunately, although there was a large collection of books in the professor's study, no newspapers were found.

"How so?"

"Do you mean ......?"

"The professor ......"

"He doesn't read the newspaper!"

"Speaking of which, the paper media is also quite troublesome." Mi'er said, "After reading it, you can only throw it away, otherwise you will take up space if you put it away." ”

"You mean, he's using electronic media?" Mia said thoughtfully.

After changing the target from the newspaper to the monitor, Mia finally pulled out a pad from the drawer.

"I want a password." Mia said.

"Try fingerprint unlocking." Mi'er lifted the corpse's left index finger and pressed it on the pad's button, and sure enough, it was successfully unlocked.

"Well, you don't have to bother looking for it, this professor has collected all his remarks in relevant newspapers and periodicals." Mia said with a grin, opened the personal collection folder named "Publish", clicked on the document and looked at it:

“…… Among them, the most serious is the monopoly of trust giants on market segments. Due to the application of the Matthew effect in the economic market, the strong-takes-all is still valid. However, it should not be overlooked that it is the non-competitive small and medium-sized enterprises that provide more than 80% of the employment in Italy and the peninsula. If the trust giants are allowed to buy or merge the assets of small and medium-sized enterprises with impunity, it will inevitably lead to a sharp contraction of the labor market and a rise in unemployment. ”

"Well, why do I recognize every word, but I can't understand it at all?" Mia looked confused and confused, "Mi'er, can you understand?" ”

"Hmm." Mi'er didn't answer, just pulled the display with her finger and swiped the page down:

“…… At present, the Licinius family has completed the complete monopoly of high-precision manufacturing, and is trying to deepen the expansion and control of the upstream and downstream. It is upstream with a large number of parts suppliers, and there are few competitors in this direction, while downstream is a multitude of market channels and distribution agents, which is bound to conflict with the Medici family. ”

"As a long-established financial giant, the Medici family has always been committed to controlling the flow of goods in the market. The aim is to realize Giovanni's ideal financial concept of 'everything is a position', so that all spot can be perfectly swapped with options or futures. However, the Licinius family's rapid development in the distribution market aroused strong vigilance and hostility among the Medici. ”

"The Toras' War of 239 in the Sixth Age was undoubtedly the result of a fierce conflict between the two giants. The Licinius family acquired 827 small and medium-sized enterprises in one month, and was denounced by the Medici family as "the barbarians of the capital market", and launched an all-round asset defense war. ”

"Although the war ended temporarily with peace talks between the two sides, the process led to the bankruptcy of countless small and medium-sized enterprises and the loss of tens of millions of workers. It's like a giant elephant wrestling with a rhinoceros, only to trample to death countless ants, earthworms, and beetles around it. In this regard, I call on the Holy See to intervene as soon as possible to curb the expansion and strife of the trust giants, otherwise it will ......"

"I don't really understand it, though." Mi'er turned off the monitor and said to the surroundings, "But, this professor, must have been killed by someone sent by some trust giant, right?" ”

Bang bang, the applause of the black-robed man sounded in the study, and his tone was quite playful: "I'm curious, you can understand the content at such a young age?" ”

"There are some places that I don't understand very well." "But I noticed that at the end of the article, he called for the trust giants to be contained, so the murderer was most likely sent by the trust." ”

"Trust, one of the highest monopolistic business organizations." The black-robed man explained lightly, "For example, the Licinian Group, from which your sister Nora came from, is one of the famous trusts on this continent. ”

"How illustrious was the Licinius family? They control the world's most advanced industrial manufacturing technology, as well as all the high-tech manufacturers in Italy and the peninsula. None of the industrial products you have access to with a minimum of technical content can be separated from the Licinian Group. ”

"So what?" Mi'er asked, "Was it the Licinius family who killed this professor?" ”

"Who knows?" The black-robed man said indifferently, "Maybe it's someone sent by the Medici family." Or maybe it's the Holy See. ”

"Holy See?" Mi'er was surprised.

"Mill, do you know who the biggest trust giant in the world is?" The black-robed man laughed, "It's the Holy See!" ”

"If it weren't for the lack of unity within the Holy See itself, and the complete division of the cardinal hierarchy by the major giants, the Holy See led by Innocent would have ruled the world long ago."

"I thought the Holy See was just a theocracy." Mi'er muttered.

"Religion is the camouflage that the Holy See puts on the outside." The black-robed man sneered, "The essence of the Holy See is an academic gate and a violent political organization, and it is a collection of interests of the Italian and wealthy families. ”

"The Holy See, through the establishment of dioceses, plundered the wealth by dumping the goods and services produced by the trust magnates into the continental countries; Through doctrinal preaching, the talents were plundered from the continental countries and absorbed back to Italy and Canada; Through the Templars, fight and exterminate any organization or regime that dares to rebel against the Holy See. ”

"Technology and violence, religion and propaganda, these are the 'secular sword' and the 'spiritual sword' of the Holy See, respectively. With these two swords, they pierced the bodies of the nations of the world, leaving them bleeding, weak, and suffering from the loss of resources and talent. ”

"You must know that from the First Age to the Quaternary Period: from the ancient city-states of Siris, to the ancient Solomon Republic, and then to the Solomon Empire, in addition to the destruction caused by the rise of the Demon Tide, the overall scientific and technological level of the continent is constantly rising, and the flow of talents, resources and capital between different regions is also strengthening. In the long run, it is not impossible to achieve 'great unification' on this continent. ”

However, with the advent of the Holy See at the end of the Quaternary Period, there was no country outside Italy and the Peninsula that achieved complete reindustrialization throughout the Fifth and Sixth Ages. The Holy Solomon Empire, the only one with a slight hope, was severely restricted by the Holy See in terms of both supply and technology. This is the highest level of trust, that is, it has a monopoly on the development and future of all countries of the world! ”

"A country without a future can neither become rich and powerful, nor can its citizens live a better life. This continent will only remain divided forever and cannot be unified, and the peoples outside Italy and Canada can only be continuously exploited by the Holy See in a state of ignorance, from their birth to death, they are like schools of salmon that have been caught, and there is no possibility of controlling their own destiny! ”

"So, it turns out that the Holy See has done so many evil things." Mi'er said tentatively.

"You don't have to test me." The black-robed man said coldly, "Wait until the last level......

“…… You'll get it all. ”
