Chapter 656: Faith

"Mr. Doolin, we meet again. His Excellency, Vice Chairman of the Security Committee, originally had a trace of suspicion about Du Lin in his heart, but when he saw Du Lin take the initiative to lean over and "take advantage", that trace of doubt disappeared. Before he became vice chairman, he was also a very standard field to internal service, and finally climbed to a high position. There are also many prisoners who have been disposed of by his hands, and he knows the psychology of these criminals, that is, he can be as far away as he can from people like them.

It may not be so absolute, but it is absolute. When you do a bad thing, when you face someone who happens to be able to give you great punishment for doing bad things, you will always subconsciously close your mind and inner activities, so that you are always in a very nervous mood, and constantly warn yourself, don't talk, don't look around, don't let the other party find yourself suspicious.

It's okay to stay in this state for a short time, but not for a long time, at least so far he hasn't seen anyone who can guarantee such a state for a long time, except for those perverted serial killers.

He doesn't think that Du Lin is such a person, because a person like Du Lin is not a pervert, so he must have experienced many things that ordinary people have not experienced, encountered many ups and downs and overcome these difficulties, and only then did he have a mentality and bearing that ordinary people cannot have. Durin was so young, he couldn't have done this, and for the first sixteen years of his life, he was just a farmer's son, he couldn't do it!

Durin smiled and took off his hat and nodded, "Thank you very much for being able to piggyback on us, you must know that the fastest shuttle train is also in three days, I don't want to waste too much time here." As he spoke, Du Lin glanced at the empty booth next to him and asked very politely, "Can I sit here?"

His Excellency the Vice Chairman nodded, "Of course, it's your freedom. ”

It was a makeshift train from Vachew to Van Lir, and it was filled with members of the Security Committee and some members of the military, because the seven gold diggers on the scene were unfortunately all dead, which made their actions go a little wrong. But fortunately, there is still one alive, although this guy is not a gold digger but an agent of the Security Council, but it doesn't matter, as long as he knows something. The problem now is that the agent named Eric has also been injured and has fallen into a coma.

The medical conditions here are not enough for him to recover quickly, so everyone needs to return to Van Lier before making a decision. As for whether or not the people of the Freedom Front will smell the wind and escape, it is not so important, even if the other side moves quickly, they will leave enough traces. It was a large group of people who lacked horses and fast-moving props, and if they didn't want to throw away the small but heavy supplies, they had to use their legs to transfer.

To the surprise of these two groups, just as they were about to leave, Durin actually took the initiative to come up, hoping that they would bring him back to Van Liel. Both the Security Committee and the military readily agreed to this request. The journey was less than two or three hours, enough for them to observe Durin up close on the road.

After seeing Du Lin sit down, a middle-aged man who looked like an officer without a military hat sat down next to His Excellency the Vice Chairman with a smile, and he also squeezed inside, and His Excellency the Vice Chairman could only move a little place for him. He sat down and put his hat on the table between the booths, and smiled and held out his hand to Durin, "Hello, I'm Colonel of the Western Division of the Imperial Army, Main. ”

Durin shook his hand and said with a smile: "I have always heard that the soldiers of the Western Military Region are made of steel, and when I met Colonel Main, I knew that this sentence was very true. ”

The background of this compliment is the Civil War, when all the south of the central part of the empire fell, and the Southern Military Region was unable to organize any effective resistance measures, so it could only watch the federal army advance step by step to the middle of the empire and coerce the imperial capital. Then there was a great reversal of the siege of the main force of the Federation, in which the Western Military Region contributed a lot of strength, they clamped down on the crazy attack of the Federation Army in the main basin of the Onyx River in the west-central region, so that the Federation Army's "drifting plan" with the inland river as a transportation line was completely defeated, so in order to cover up the concept that the Imperial Army is incompetent, the official slogan of the Iron Western Army was launched.

Dulin's words made Mainn very happy, and after the two chatted casually, His Excellency the Vice Chairman also began to interject, "Mr. Durin, the town of Waxiu is so far away from the big city, is there any benefit here that is worth your visit?"

Durin smiled and nodded, "No, no, Your Excellency, you may not know that there are some things that are more worthy of our possession than those fancy things, such as faith! I came here to meet these local compatriots who are willing to raise funds to establish a hometown association, and by the way, I negotiated a business with Waxiu Town, I want to open a farm here, I need the help of local farmers, and it is impossible for a local farm to exist without it, this is the purpose of my here." ”

This purpose makes sense, and Doolin did not hide the idea of the fellow townsman's association, which made His Excellency the Vice Chairman even more convinced that Doolin was "innocent".

The association is a troublesome thing in the eyes of many people, and if it is a religious organization, it cannot be said that it is wrong, because all the associations will have statues of gods and goddesses, and there will be epic stained glass. On weekends, believers will gather in the church of the hometown association to pray to the gods for blessings, or repentance, this is indeed a religious belief organization.

The most important thing is not to break the law, and in the early days the attitude of the empire towards these defeated peoples was to completely destroy all their things, including the glory and self-confidence that may have existed in the past, as well as culture and beliefs. Throughout the history of civilization in the world, except for the Eastern civilization, which everyone does not understand, in the history of Western civilization, human wars are often caused by different beliefs.

Some people believe in the god of water, believing that water nourishes all things and that water is the source of life.

Some people believe in the god of fire, believing that fire brings a safe environment for humans and inspires human civilization.

Their beliefs are actually right, which can be said to be an interpretation of nature, but the problem lies in the moment when the people who believe in the god of water and those who believe in the god of fire meet for the first time.

"The god of water is the greatest, and water can extinguish fire, and any fireball that falls from the sky will be extinguished if it falls into the sea, so the god of water must be the strongest. ”

"Fart, the god of fire is the greatest, even a violent storm can't extinguish the lava in the mountain pass, the god of fire is the greatest!"

"There's a kind of you don't leave after school!"

"Whoever goes is not a descendant of the god of fire!"

Thus, wars based on faith and purpose appeared, and everyone fought so hard that in the end they probably forgot why they went to war.

If these defeated nations want to forget their past and integrate themselves into the big family of the empire, then the unity of culture and belief is the inevitable result, and of course there is also the credit of the church. With the advent of the new era, freedom of belief has also become the ruling party's respect for society, and the loosening of the shackles has allowed various faith cultures to enter a period of flooding. It's not a big deal for Durin to start a fellow countryman's association, but he's a little bigger.

But if we say that the hometown association is really just a simple religious organization...... The children didn't believe it. This group of Guartes who were brainwashed by Durin madly believed that Durin was the Messiah in the book of Revelation, yes, I don't know when they started to make an apocalypse, saying that it was something that existed when the Guarte dynasty existed, and predicted some things hundreds of thousands of years later, which vaguely said that there was a Messiah who would save the Gualts who were in confusion and lead everyone to stand up again.

Thus faith not only enriches their hearts, but also equips their minds.

Look at those bastard agents, almost all of them are from the townspeople's association, they are much purer than the gangs, they are simply a bunch of thugs in sheep's clothing!

His Excellency wisely staggered the subject, "I heard that you have recently planted crops in a large area of enclosure in the west, and is it more profitable to grow crops than to sell alcohol?"

"Of course!", Duhring replied firmly, "Not all industries can make millions of dollars in sales every year, and I found out about that, so I took this territory before others reacted, and then naturally no one would compete with me." ”

Neither His Excellency nor Colonel Main, Vice-Chairman, could understand when planting crops was such a big deal, and after a few short words with Durin, they felt that their thinking was a little out of step with Durin's rhythm.

Perhaps, he is bragging!

"I heard that someone died?", Durin asked seemingly casually, and Mannin nodded, but His Excellency the Vice Chairman had a heavy expression.

He sighed, his expression softening slightly, "In order to defend this country, there must always be a little bit of foolishness who knows that one step out may never take a second step, and they will also smile and take the next step, and there must be a little bit of people who believe in something stupid, right?"

"If each of us was smart and knew that we shouldn't take huge risks to give without asking for anything in return, would we still have the peaceful life we have now?"

"All peace is maintained by the sacrifice of a group of fools, in my heart they are fools, but they are also the greatest heroes of the Empire!"

Dulin and Mannin's expressions also became heavy, although His Excellency did not say it explicitly, but he confirmed Dulin's words in this way, and the atmosphere in the booth became viscous, and the air became heavy.

After a moment, Durin sighed, "I think I should do something!"
