At the same time, the attention of the local and foreign media was focused on the west, and a mine owner named Federer was the first to stand up, and he decided to announce a series of problems in the western part of the empire to the whole society, which made the West Mining Association very passive. They had already been subjected to a barrage of attacks, and the four remaining executive councilors had already been scathed, and now Federer's betrayal had made their situation even more dangerous, and they were not careful to take the blame for the slavery that existed throughout the West.

The Cabinet's silence and inaction seem to be more certain, and perhaps there is no better way for the Cabinet to throw the burden of morality on the West Mining Association through such a press conference.

As for how it will end up after that, this is definitely not something that can make people happy.

The room was filled with smoke, and it had been six hours since four extraordinary-looking men were sitting or standing, cigarettes in their hands and ashtrays full of cigarette butts around them, and they still hadn't figured out a way to get them through the crisis safely.

There are two biggest crises for them, the first is the unspoken rules of western mining that Federer will reveal tomorrow, and the most fatal of them is about the use of slaves. The use of cheap slaves for mining in the West was well known, and the extremely low price of slaves minimized the cost of mining, a high-risk industry. No one cares if the environment in the mine will cause some people to break out of the disease and die, and they don't need to pay their high salaries, they just need to fill their stomachs and they will be able to get the ore out of the mine.

All mine owners are using slaves, which has become almost the norm in the mining industry, and no one has ever questioned whether the use of slaves, including the existence of slavery, is morally and legally compliant. From top to bottom, from mine owners to state governments, everyone has embraced the system.

Not only is it inexpensive, but there are no major accidents, which is the perfect choice.

But it is this perfect choice that has now pushed the Western Mining Association into the abyss, and those who have nothing to do with the West, have nothing to do with mining, and can stand on the moral high ground in this matter will tear them all apart. Just as when they heard that some orphanage managers asked their children to do some skilled work, their indignation, curse and condemnation of the scum did not require additional costs, but also showed their socially responsible side.

Some of those scum are dead, some are in prison, and now the situation is reversed, which may be one of the ends of these people.

Public opinion will form a huge storm that will tear them all to shreds, and in order to quell the anger from within and outside the Empire, the Cabinet will certainly deal with some people harshly.

Dealing with those mine owners will certainly not play a deterrent role, nor will it reflect the importance that the empire attaches to these issues, and only by disposing of the main personnel of an organization with huge influence such as the West Mining Association can the moral climax that is about to erupt from everyone's boiling nostrils gradually subside.

The second crisis comes from within the Western Mining Association, if it were only the fact that slavery existed in the West, their fate would definitely not be pretty, but it would definitely not be miserable. It was not that they made such rules, nor did they maintain them, they were just representatives of an industry, and the punishment was severe enough but not involving the safety of life to show the determination of the imperial legal system.

But once the problem is raised, some people within the West Mining Association will waver and extend to more scandals, which may really kill them.

Like Federer's damn guy, he was the first, and he couldn't be the last, there were always people who wanted to save themselves when the ship was about to go silent. What the West Mining Association has done in the west over the years may not be clear to outsiders, but the members of the West Mining Association are very clear. They manipulated the price of ore in the west through various means, and opened up a bright avenue for the entry of big capitalists by joining forces with some illegal armed forces. In addition, they are suspected of infiltrating and bribing government officials, forging documents, and concealing business income.

Any of these illegal things will not kill them if they are pulled out alone, but they will not live to the end of this year if they are all put together and placed in the sun to accept the judgment of society.

"Is there a way to contact Federer?", an old man in his sixties with silver-gray hair took a hard puff of the cigarette in his hand, puffing the smoke as he said, "It's better to talk to Federer privately so that he doesn't expose more inside information, it's a good thing for him and us." As long as he can agree, I believe that many people will still be on our side. ”

Another middle-aged man with flaxen hair and a somewhat depressed appearance shook his head, he grabbed the wine bottle next to him and took a big sip, "Federer doesn't seem to be in the west now, he may have hid just to detonate this bomb." I really don't understand what he's doing to do this, we're going to be out of luck, all the organizations and individuals involved in the mining industry are going to be out of luck, all the mining industry is going to be scrutinized, what is he doing this for?", he was a little bit puzzled, and that's something that everyone couldn't figure out.

The situation has clearly moved in the direction of the light, the thugs of the Freedom Front have been wiped out, the mining trade in the west has begun to recover, and the west, where there have been no more attacks, has the appearance of the previous stable and peaceful period, why does Federer have to pick out the trouble at this time?

Another pale blonde guy frowned and asked, "Could it have something to do with the previous attack, someone is targeting us in the West Mining Society, and Federer may have been bribed by them." As long as we fall, they will be able to take control of the west?"

The silver-gray haired old man nodded, "There is this possibility, the enemies we face are not only Memnon, but also those big capitalists, and the enemy is among the two of them. But we're not sure who did it, and do you think Quintis and Olivier would be part of them?"

This question made the other three people fall into deep thought, they opposed the big capitalists to join the West Mining Association and the reason for the confrontation was that the strength of these big capitalists was too strong, if they were alone, the West Mining Association would not be afraid of them. However, if they are accepted into the Western Mining Association, these powerful capital forces will have a place where they can give full play to their advantages. They will soon replace the executive committee through a series of means and become the new managers of the Western Mining Association.

This is also the last thing the executive committee members want to see, so they have adopted the method of huddle confrontation to constantly make trouble for these people, and at the same time maintain a certain degree of cooperative relationship, not giving them the opportunity to seize the dominance of the Western Mining Association. If these people do come together for some reason, it's very likely that they did it.

"What do you think...... That guy has had irreconcilable conflicts with us since he came to the west, and I personally think that the assassination of several other executive committee members has a lot to do with Durin, and it is even possible that Dulin instructed his subordinates to do it, is there any way to find a way to break the situation from Durin?"

The room fell silent for a moment, and after all this time of confrontation, they had discovered that Durin was a very troublesome young man, he was like a hedgehog or a wild man, covered with thorns, whether it was a kind touch or a hostile collision, he would poke holes in his body.

The silence lasted for ten minutes, and the man who had never spoken finally spoke, "The current situation is very unfavorable to us, and we do not have the means to reverse the current situation, so I have a proposal ......", he closed his mouth and looked at the other three people, before he lowered his voice a little and said: "Before the situation completely deteriorates, transfer property, transfer family, if you can...... Let's leave the Empire. ”

"It's not that I'm too pessimistic, it's that this time things came too violently, and it's only been three months since Hendry and that idiot were assassinated. Gentlemen, it took us more than ten years to take control of the west into our hands with great difficulty, and we paid a lot of price for this. But now, the enemy is too strong, and we can't stop their greed for the power in our hands, and I think Doolin may be the fuse, but we can't underestimate the big capitalists. ”

"Once all is clear, we will not have a light of day, but a blood-stained dagger. While we still have the time and opportunity, let's go, gentlemen, and leave this country and go to the Federation or beyond. With the wealth we have now, it is enough for us to quickly re-emerge anywhere!"

When this little meeting, which was destined to end nothing, the guy who spoke last took a car back to his villa. The villa was filled with his personal security guards, who watched nervously at any disturbances around them. It is very strange that there is no one who is not a security guard in the villa to greet him, and his wife, children, and grandchildren are all missing, which makes the villa more like an office location than a home.

He walked into the study and stopped the security guards from following him, locked the door and sat down in his chair, staring out the window at dusk for a long time. It took about ten minutes before he pursed his lips, picked up the phone haggardly, and dialed a number.

"Mr. Doolin, I have conveyed to the others what you have asked me to say, when will my family be free?", his hand was shaking, the day before yesterday he came back from the West Mine Club to find that the whole villa was empty, everyone had disappeared, and then Dolin called him and told him what to do, so that his family could see a new round of sun every day.

His heart is dripping blood!
