Eric looked at the burning banknotes, and then lit the cigarette with the flames produced by the banknotes, and as soon as Durin let go of his hands, the half-burned banknotes fell to the ground with ashes, slowly curling, slowly burning, and slowly extinguishing into two black ashes.

"Isn't it more mellow to order a cigarette for two hundred dollars?", Dulin didn't wait for Eric to answer this question, he smiled slightly, "Eric, can we be friends?"

Eric took a deep puff of his cigarette and exhaled it slowly, which made him feel more relaxed. He was ashamed of his fear of death, but the ease of being able to live overcame his guilt, he raised his eyebrows, and said thoughtfully, "You want to buy me!"

"Buy?", Durin couldn't help but laugh out loud, he shook his fingers, "No, no, no, the word bribery sounds insulting to you, and insulting to me. I'm never going to buy anybody with anything, I just make friends with somebody else, friends, you know?"

"You said your child was about to be born...... That's great, a family with children is a complete family, but have you ever thought about how happy your family is to survive in this society? When you and your family are walking on the road and watching people like me drive luxury cars, wear expensive luxuries, go in and out of fancy places, and make friends with powerful people, maybe just because we say something irresponsible in a chat, but something starts to change. ”

"Then you and your family, will there be some helplessness?", Du Lin's tone became a little deeper, "You sold your life to the Security Committee in exchange for a negligible amount of money, but you can only make your family live like an ordinary person." Maybe you have some savings, but those savings aren't even enough for me and my friends to spend a night, or a hundredth. ”

"Eric, life is so precious, your God has given you the luck to come to this world beyond all else, but you have sold your luck to someone who is actually similar to me, but wearing different clothes, is this really what you are after?"

"Is it all worth it?"

There was a struggle in Eric's eyes, and after listening to Durin with his lips closed, he thought for a long time before replying, "I didn't give my life to anyone, I just gave my loyalty to the Empire!"

The moment his words fell, Du Lin waved his hand and replied with a very firm rejection of him, "Empire, empire is a concept, it should not be a specific person. The chairman and vice chairman of the Security Council, the top minister of the Ministry of National Defense, and even Maggs, they are all specific people. They do not represent the empire, let alone rise above it. You say you're loyal to the Empire, and I'm going to praise you for your love for the Empire, but have you considered it? ”

"If the new party is out of power and the old party comes to power, then you will continue your so-called allegiance?" is actually a very acute question, because since Mags overthrew the rule of the old era, it has been the new party that has been in power, and everyone in the government sees Maggs and the new party as the embodiment of the "state", but as Dühring said, if the old party defeats the new party and comes to power, then will they continue their allegiance?

It is very likely that their leadership will be replaced by people from the old party, and some people who have completely different values and worldviews from the new party, and these people's governing philosophy and even political aspirations may be contrary to the new party. So in this case, do they still want to do this today, so that they work for the old party in power?

In fact, this is not the first person to feel this way and speak out, and many of the middle and senior levels of the imperial government have been at a loss after the midterm elections.

Yes, the New Party brought many changes to the empire, making the society more fraternal, people having freedom, and the sunshine bringing justice. However, this does not mean that the new party will be able to defeat the old party and continue to suppress the old party in the general election.

Six years ago, the new party successfully defended the scepter representing power with 67 percent of the votes, but today, the support of the two sides is not getting closer, you must know that in the second general election, the support rate of the new party is 93 percent!

There are many reasons for this phenomenon, such as the social elitism of the old party, for example, their design of the "legalistic" framework, for example, they give people a visible ladder, so that everyone has the possibility to step on the head of others and climb up. A number of factors have contributed to the acceptance of many of the middle class of society, who are eager to cross the threshold and enter the upper echelons of society, who prefer the old party's rotten escalation system to the new party's survival of the fittest.

If it is really two years later, when the new party is removed and the old party comes to power, what will happen to these people who have served the empire for more than ten or twenty years and have been growing up in the soil of the new party?

Is it against the old party, or is it against the old party, or is it against the old party without a position?

I'm afraid the choice is a problem no matter what!

"If you choose to resign or move elsewhere, it proves that what you say about allegiance to the Empire here and to my face today is nothing more than an excuse for you to deceive yourself and others. If you choose to stay in the Security Committee and serve the old party, you can do things according to the instructions of the old party without distinguishing between right and wrong, and everything you do is in conflict with today, what do you think others will say about you?"

Eric fell silent, he didn't know how to answer Doolin's question, and Dorin's question made him feel very embarrassed, and even shook his faith!

The two were silent for a moment before Durin said in a relaxed tone, "Actually, it's very easy to solve these problems!", and Eric immediately looked up at him to see what he was going to say next.

"I said it was simple, and it was. When you climb high enough not to be swayed by some changes, you are truly qualified to do something for this country, and not like a helpless boat on the sea, just drifting around with the waves. ”

"It's all about your choice. ”

"Do you say, we're going to be friends?"

When Durin came out of the room, it was sunny outside, and Dover immediately came over and whispered something in his ear, and while Dürin was talking to Eric just now, Dover had already gone to investigate what Eric had said. With Doolin's methods and connections, it is not very difficult to find out the information of an "ordinary person". Eric wasn't lying, he said everything he could, much to Durin's satisfaction.

Death is the most feared thing of human beings, even he is afraid of death, but he is afraid of dying in the ordinary and ordinary, if one day his death can bring changes to the whole world, then he will happily leave this world - in fact, no, it is better to die than to live, as long as you live, you will definitely have the opportunity to find a breakthrough.

"What happened to those people?", Durin asked suddenly.

Those people were referring to the gold diggers who had come to town not long ago, and now someone was watching them.

The men entered the town in three groups, thinking they were well hidden, but they overlooked one particularly important thing, none of them rode horses. Horses were second only to the lives of the gold prospectors, and there was no way to travel the Wild West without horses, and with Doolin's previous orders, they were discovered as soon as they entered.

At this time, Brest did not know that his disguise had been recognized, and he was not to blame, he was just a gold digger with little culture, and he believed that the gun in his hand was better than the head full of knowledge. He sat at a round table with a glass of wine and listened to the chatter of the people around him.

Life in the town is monotonous, and the only pleasure is teasing the women, laughing at each other, and gambling for money.

"We've got to find someone to ask where Amon went just now, damn it, I'll just say you can't drink, if you hadn't been a little late, you wouldn't have been as passive as you are now!", Brest seemed to forget that he was the first to drink and fall, and he took the initiative to drink too much, and no one forced him to drink. As a result, it was about twenty minutes after Amun's carriage left in the morning, and these people remembered that there was still something to do today, but fortunately, there were people in the camp who saw the whereabouts of Amun's carriage, and the wheel prints in the field had not disappeared, so they found this place.

His companions looked away when they saw him complaining, and one of the fellows sitting next to Brest rubbed his arm with his elbow and pouted to the side, "Do you think we can ask for something in the toilet?"

Brest looked in the direction the man was pointing, and a drunken guy staggered towards the toilet, and he immediately stood up, "Why not? I think so!"

The guy next to him also stood up and followed Brest towards the toilet.

The toilet in the tavern was not large, only two single rooms, and the drunken drunkard pushed open a door, walked in, opened the zipper, took out his dick and pointed it at the urinal, then raised his chin and closed his eyes and hummed a tune-out tune. He suddenly felt a gust of wind behind him, and his unresponsive head only realized that someone had come in after his body trembled for a while, and he scolded impatiently: "Get out, there's someone here!"

However, the guy who squeezed a urinal with him did not get out, not only did not leave, but showed his treasure.
