The "Act on the Establishment of the Western Civilian Mine Guard Group (Provisional)" was promulgated in response to the large-scale killings and vendettas more than a decade ago, and there were often vicious incidents in which all the camps of a mine were killed overnight. Because according to the laws of the empire, when "private property" has no heirs and successor organizations, the ownership will be dissolved again and it will be attributed to the state of "nothing". In the civilized world, immovable property becomes an auction item, whichever is higher, and movable property, such as deposits and things deposited in banks, goes to the banks.

In the west, it's actually pretty much the same. When the owner of a mine does not have the strength to deter other forces, those vicious people are like sharks that smell blood from far away, just give them a chance, they will kill the whole mine up and down, and then someone will report the crime, and the local government will find out about the case and arrange a re-auction of the mine.

At this time, someone will come forward and buy the mine at a relatively low price and start to continue to operate, and no one will compete at the auction, because the mine belongs to the first person to raise the card.

It's an underlying rule, a way of playing that can't be made public.

The bandits are doing this, the capitalists are doing this, and often behind the bloodbath of some mines, there will be the shadow of some big capitalists, which is definitely not a business that ordinary people can run. That's why the empire promulgated such a law to "protect" investors in the development of the western region to the greatest extent.

Yes, protect "those people"!

According to this law, depending on the size of the mine and the number of people mined, the number of personnel in the protection team can range from fifty to five hundred, and they can hold a modified standard weapon, a rifle. These rifles no longer have the ability to fire continuously or semi-automatically, and must be fired a second time by hand-plucking, creating this "equipment level gap" in order to prevent these rifles from becoming something that harms the Empire.

The activities of extremist groups have been rampant in recent years, and if a large number of self-firing rifles enter the hands of these people, it will be an absolute disaster for the ruling party of the empire. Some time ago...... At the end of last year, an extremist group was about to launch a campaign that was detected by Imperial intelligence officers, and although it had already attacked as fast as it could, it ended up getting into a little trouble and killing hundreds of people.

Just like Mr. Luke, a friend of Doolin knew before, he had a team of hundreds of people, and these guards have become a nightmare for most miners, especially those slave miners who were acquired through human trafficking, and even if they died in the mines, it would be as if nothing had happened.

By the way, this is the second most lucrative business in the West, the human trade.

Mines need miners, and the wages of miners are actually a little higher than people think, after all, there is a huge risk of mining in the mine without the support of effective safety equipment, so the miners' wages are about forty yuan a month.

Of course, there are also cheap miners here, and twenty dollars can meet their salary requirements, but maybe the mine owner needs to hire a few more overseers to see that these people don't steal mines, especially gold, silver and gem mines, and those miners' ability to steal ore is simply the peak. Not to mention hiding gold nuggets in their eyes, they will even break the gold mines and smash them as much as possible, and then hide them in their eyes. If you find the miners who always have red and swollen eyes, there is a good chance that these people are coming to the mine to steal gold.

So in such an environment, the people who are smuggled in from all over the world are quite popular. It only takes a few dozen or hundreds of dollars to buy a slave of the same size. You don't need to pay them more, you don't need to prepare fresh food for them, you can beat them up or even kill them if they make a mistake.

There is no better way for the three states on the western side of the country to deal with such a situation, but each of them is emphasizing the rule that it is not permissible to kill "its own people" and not to kill the citizens of the Empire, as for those from other places...... , try to keep them alive in the spirit of humanitarianism, after all, it's also a life, isn't it?

This is the West, a West where the sun is always shining, and where it is brightest, there is the darkest society!

In addition to forming his own mine protection team, Dohrin also needs to reassure the people here. It is always difficult for an outsider to come to the area where he lives and say what he wants to do, and it will make people more vigilant. But if this person invests and builds property here, it will obviously gain more trust from people. Doolin's plan was very simple, to gain trust, take over the Progressive Party, and then run for governor.

Only by thoroughly and firmly grasping the west from the social, economic, and political aspects can we break through the shackles of time, improve our class in this empire as soon as possible, and get closer to that glorious position!

This time, when he stepped down from the position of mayor of Otis City, in fact, Maggs had already passed with him the night before the executive arrived in Otis City, and there were many reasons why Maggs did not defend him at the party meeting, the main reason was their "whale hunting plan", that is, to block the financial system of the Federation and plunder the economic gains obtained by the Federation in the past 20 years of holding the imperial tariff power.

With such a big project, the Federation has suffered huge losses, and it is impossible not to pursue it to the end, and once it is discovered that there are current officials of the empire in the plan, it may be another diplomatic storm, and it may even lead to a war. Therefore, Du Lin temporarily took off the skin of the official on his body, which made it safer for the implementation of the entire plan and more convenient to finish. When the whale hunt was over, Maggs promised that Dührin would definitely give him a position that he would be happy with.

Through the conversation with Maggs, Dulin learned something, and at the same time guessed that his removal was most likely because Maggs did not want to continue on the broad road of "mayor-governor-cabinet-prime minister", and he was very sensitive, because he had already guessed part of the facts.

In Maggs's opinion, Durin already needed to be more vigilant and aware of him, and the young man's ability to do miracles was truly astonishing. In just one year, it took him only a year for Otis to become the most dreamy city it is now, and even the most important money bag of the empire. With his ability and management style, he has a good chance of succeeding in his gubernatorial run three years later, which means that he will most likely have the power and strength to become a cabinet member or a senior party member in his early thirties. At that point, Maggs or the new party leader may not be able to suppress him!

A governor or a senior party member is already qualified enough to form an interest group with the same interests and political goals around him, and in a complex interpersonal network, there will be many people who will take the initiative to pave the way for Doolin to move forward steadily. Because Durin takes a step forward, it will lead the vested interests around him to also take a step forward, even if Durin doesn't want to improve, these people will carry him forward.

After more than ten years of running as a high-level member of the empire, Du Lin has a certain possibility of running for the number one position in the party or even the position of prime minister at the age of thirty-eight or nineteen to forty, and he has a 1 in 10,000 chance that he will succeed, and then what should he do?

Eight years, he will not be 50 years old after the expiration of his term of office, and a person with great ambitions, who dares to fight and dare to challenge authority and rules, will willingly let go of the business and power that he has been running for eight years? No, it is impossible, this kind of person will only continue to challenge, because he is not a nobleman, and all the political inheritance he has will not bless his family and his descendants, he only has himself, and without these he will have nothing.

Maybe that day, this dangerous young man will stage a coup d'état, just like that night more than twenty years ago, in order to seize the supreme power of this empire, and carry out a coup d'état in the imperial capital that will affect the entire empire!

It was not impossible, and with the ambition and courage that Durin had always shown, he really dared to do so!

He befriended the Navy and formed the Imperial Army Club, and Magus had to speculate with the utmost malice about whether Durin was preparing something.

So this time Dühring's removal has a lot of significance, and when the time comes, Maggs intends to give him a job in the party, away from power and the political core, and spend his life in a position that seems important, but never brilliant, like Powell. He will no longer have access to the power of the core, and this is what is arranged for his future!

Of course, Maggs still has a little regret, after all, Durin's personal ability is the best he has seen so far, and there is no one. At Doolin's age, he was the only young man who could feel amazing. He has not yet gone to school, has not received systematic culture and education, but his ability and thinking are definitely beyond the vast majority of people.

Maggs has a high opinion of Doolin, and the higher the rating, the more wary he will be.

Durin also felt the caution and vigilance from Mags, and During, who was still a little hesitant and hesitant, decisively agreed with Mags's idea and chose to "retreat bravely from the rapids". He will not be at the mercy of anyone, which is why he chose the West.

Because it is simple enough, the people here are not like the "city people" in other places, who will consider whether it is right for them to do so, and whether it will bring bad consequences. Here, whoever dares to touch the cheese on the table, even if they know that they may not be the opponent of the man behind the hand, dares to pull out their guns and pour all their bullets to defend their rights!

When the people here realize the benefits of following Doolin, they will defend Dorin's position, even if a new decree is issued by the Imperial Cabinet, it will be resisted by everyone here.

They are so simple, whoever takes my things, I will ride on the horse and kill whoever kills.
