Chapter 159: Balance
"The last two!"
In just twenty days, only two of the group that came in behind Durin remained, and the others died from various accidents. There are those who slipped in the bathroom and were suffocated by wet towels, those who were stoned to death by instruments while making instruments, and those who were electrocuted by accidental electrocution...... , and by this morning only the last two remained. Just as Durin was about to continue arranging for their unexpected death, they themselves jumped from the third floor of the prison block.
Luckily, they broke their legs and arms, and with Doolin suspecting that someone had greeted the warden, they were released on medical parole and left the main gate of the prison in the same car. Looking at the slowly closing iron door, Durin withdrew his gaze and sat down on the staircase in the corner, his hands crossed on his knees and his chin resting on them. The eyes of the people around look at this side are a little weird, maybe the people outside don't know how these people died, but there are always people inside.
For the first time, they had a kind of horror for Durin, a young "giant", from the inside out.
This kind of person, if you can, it's best not to provoke, no one wants to die in various accidents inexplicably one day, and after death, you have to be taken out as a negative example as a teaching material.
Life in prison became easier, but the situation outside the prison suddenly became tense.
The governor personally leads the post of director of the state contraband investigation bureau (RCA), and has also set up sub-bureaus in various places, so that the mayors and legislators of the following cities have no way to meddle in the work of the contraband investigation bureau. According to the provisions of the second Prohibition, the Contraband Investigation Bureau has the power to require any person or vehicle that "looks suspicious" to be inspected, and the members of the Investigation Bureau who refuse to be inspected have the right to use force after warnings.
Some people think that the leader of the New Party has been so mad because of the death of his child that he has introduced such a bullshit bill and institution that treats all the moonshiners and contraband dealers as enemies, so that in some areas the gangs that rely on these two sources for money are clamoring for a kill order against the leader of the New Party. He used public weapons for personal matters, causing great social turmoil.
But is this the truth?
"No, that's not his purpose!", the Doge leaned against the thick pillow, and although his body from the neck down no longer had any intuition, even if it was useless to drink milk, his mind did not become dull because of this. On the contrary, it may be that the paralyzed body from the neck down has lost control, allowing the body to nourish the brain with a lot of nutrients, and he feels that his brain is more useful than before.
The maid wiped the saliva from his mouth with a clean handkerchief, and he nodded slightly and said thank you. In front of people, he is always a personable gentleman, even if he is paralyzed in bed, he is a familiar and charming old man in the eyes of people. In front of him stood more than a dozen important tasks in the old party of Canle, and the old man talked eloquently, "I still have some understanding of this old opponent of the new party, you may not know very well, in fact, he and I both graduated from the Imperial Royal College, and I graduated a few years before him." ”
The Imperial Royal College is the name after the name change, and it was called the "Shining Star Noble College" before the name change, and only accepted the nobles to enroll, and there were extremely strict standards and requirements for the nobles who entered, and it was called the "cradle of politicians". The purpose of the establishment of this school was not actually to be a cradle, it was purely that the royal family of the Dazzling Star Empire wanted to find a group of vassals with enough tacit understanding for their heirs, so that the heirs of these nobles could accompany the royal heirs to study, so as not to make learning boring.
But gradually, the dean of the academy was dissatisfied with being enough to be the head of a "kindergarten", and he began to carefully select the nobles who entered the hospital, and gradually made the noble academy the highest institution of learning in the empire. This school enrolls no more than 50 students every year, and all of the students enrolled are the pride of heaven. After the new party established a new order, in order to eradicate the "poison", the academy was renamed the Imperial Royal Higher School.
Hearing the Governor say this, many of the old party showed a slight strange look, but they didn't expect that this backbone of the old party actually had an alumni relationship with the vanguard of the new party.
"He's a very pragmatic man!", the Governor put an impressive label on the leader of the New Party, Maggs, in one sentence, "He was very avant-garde and methodical, and after a year of enrollment, he was the student president of the college and the vice president of the alumni association, and I have met him many times and talked to him many times." He has great ambitions......", the Governor couldn't help but laugh as he said this, "Indeed, he has achieved his purpose in life, and he is truly an amazing fellow. The thing I remember most about him was the alumni reunion the year he graduated. ”
The Governor suddenly closed his mouth, and after a moment of silence, he sighed leisurely, "According to the academy's custom, some well-known bands and stars will be invited to the alumni reunion during the graduation season to set the mood, and this is what Maggs does. You may not imagine what he did!"
He donated all the money he had for the event to the discharged soldiers, and then invited a team of disabled soldiers to the scene. I still remember the blood-stained dark red uniforms of the soldiers, and their empty sleeves and trouser legs. He taught me a lesson, and he taught everyone a lesson, and he told the soldiers about the situation on the border, about the insidiousness and cunning of the Federalists. He said that war would inevitably break out in five years, and that the Federation, which had made all the preparations, would definitely take the empire by surprise, which was still dreaming in its comfort zone. ”
"To be honest, among the many people who laughed at him, I was one of them. You may have been young at the time, some of you were not yet born, so you may not have been able to appreciate our faith in the Empire, which we always believed was invincible, but we were all wrong. The war broke out in the ninth month of the fourth year, and our border defense system lasted only two days before it was completely broken!"
"Maggs, who was seen as a joke, reappeared in people's eyes, and he once again made us feel a sense of ...... I can't tell, I feel very powerless. At that time he joined the army and was the company commander of the 1st Army Infantry Company. You can't imagine the shock he left me standing on the AT1!"
"You should all know that after a long war, we lost, he won!"
"I know him better than all of you, and more than ninety-nine percent of the people in the empire, and I can say that I know him best. Therefore, the establishment of the RCA is definitely not the product of his impulsiveness, it is his calm and rational state that he made the decision that was most beneficial to the new party. No one would object to the decision of a father who has just lost his child and is still in pain, even if it is known that the decision may be wrong. He took advantage of his dead children, used himself, took advantage of the vast majority of people, and then calmly took our army. ”
"Once the RCA is in operation, it means that there will be a department on our territory that is not under our control, and we have oversight and enforcement powers, and we will have no way to restrain it. When they have needs and when necessary, they can even sacrifice the political lives and interests of some people to forcibly upset the balance between us!"
"He's a very good hunter, and a very cold hunter, because even his son will be his bait to attract his prey!"
"And you guys, be careful!"
The Governor's words made everyone's hearts lift, before they came here, they thought that the establishment of the RCA was simply nonsense, why should a newly established organization put an end to the smuggling and trade of all contraband? Even if there was no accident with Mags's son, he would have found another excuse to set up a UCA or ACA or something like that in another form.
"Your Excellency the Governor, then what are we going to do next?", said the councillor of the city of Chelaire, the old guy has been in Chelaire all his life, whether it is the new party or the old party, there is only obedience.
"Befriend them, give them money, give them women, give them everything they want, completely paralyze them, and then see the right time and create opportunities!"
"Those old guys up there will clean up the mess for you!"
"Okay, I'm tired after talking so much, you also have your own work to do, go back!"
Peter was the last to leave the room, pondering as he walked, he didn't think that an RCA would be able to break his control of the city before coming here, but after listening to his governor's father-in-law, he became a little cautious and made some decisions.
After returning to Turnier, a gossip news quickly circulated, and it was said that Ernst's sister, who was the mayor's little lover, was beaten by the mayor and thrown out. This explosive news is enough to make many people unable to come back to their senses in a short period of time, you must know that Ernst has had a good time all these years, and the most important thing is the relationship between his sister and the mayor. Relying on this relationship, his smuggling business has flourished.
If he loses this coat and protection, then he will immediately be crushed by the green eyes around him. So as soon as he knew the situation, he rushed to the mayor's manor, but unfortunately, he was asked to leave by the housekeeper before he even entered the door.
A gust of cold wind blew, and he looked up at the sky, and the sky changed!
