Chapter 1281: Is There Still a King's Law?
When Mr. Pitt wakes up for the third time...... As for why it was the third time I woke up, it was a not very pleasant memory.
He patted his head, pressed his palms against his temples, and his brain hurt as if he had been knocked unconscious three times, and the pain was about to crack from the inside.
The breath that came into his nose from around him made him take a deep breath, the smell of the dirt with some cow and horse stench, and the grass from various vegetation made him close his eyes slightly.
In the west, even if he doesn't need to look at the scenery outside the window, he doesn't need to ask, as long as he smells the air that is too familiar to be familiar anymore, he knows that he has returned to the west.
He is not from the west, and the reason why he chose the west as the basis of his career in the first place was because it was backward, closed, and difficult to exchange information with the outside world.
The information gap makes the people of the West even more ignorant and stubborn, as long as they can be persuaded that eating hot can cure their diseases, even if someone puts a gun to their head and tells them that it is a lie, they will assume that someone else does not want them to be cured.
The people here are very easy to deceive, and after being deceived, they are very stupid and loyal, and when they think that when they first came, they all added up to less than fifty yuan, and after so many years, let alone fifty yuan, he has seen fifty kilograms of gold, and it belongs to him.
Pity...... , and all this is gone, except for those riches.
The bumps in the car made him recover quickly, and he had already begun to look around before the car stopped, the lively capital of Ambiluo was much changed from the last time he came, and there were many pedestrians, but some landmarks remained, so he guessed where it was.
Needless to say, he knew what he was about to face, the young man whom some people called the devil.
After driving for a while, the car stopped behind a nondescript villa, where he was handcuffed and escorted into the villa through the back garage.
After a while, he finally came to a large living room, where a young man sat on the sofa with his back to him and watched the news of the Confederation on the television, when a rebel attacked St. Lodu, robbing the Commonwealth Bank again, and setting fire to the rebuilt First Federal Exchange.
There was a lot of trouble in this matter, and there were four leaders of organizations in the federation who claimed to be most responsible for the matter, but no one really knew who did it.
The representative of the founding family, the current president of the Federal United Parliament, said in an interview that they would investigate the real emissaries of the matter as soon as possible, and also called on the entire federal society not to imitate and worship such extremist elements.
It's not romantic, it's not funny, they're just a bunch of vicious gangsters, and there's not the slightest glimmer of light to learn from.
In fact, there is also a problem behind this incident, with the complete breakdown of the relationship between the Coalition Parliament and the federal government, and the temporary replacement of the president of the federal government by the Speaker, many people have a visceral disgust and disgust with the current federal rulers.
These represent the inherent conservative forces that destroy the new generation of conglomerates and use their flesh and blood to build society, and on the other hand, they have begun to pay attention to the rise of new forces, and strictly prohibit anyone or anything beyond their control.
In the final analysis, the catastrophe of the two years of the Federation is the inevitable conflict between the old order and the emerging forces, even if there is no Duhring's plan to stop the financial economy of the Federation, or five or ten years, when those emerging forces become stronger, war will break out.
It is impossible for the two sides to coexist peacefully, and completely opposing positions doom them to only one side to survive.
If Durin does not intervene, it is likely that a new power will replace the founding family and become the real ruling class of the Federation.
But Du Lin intervened, and lifted some lids earlier, so that the contradictions intensified, and the emerging forces did not get the opportunity to continue to grow and develop, and it can be said that they were just snuffed out in the toilet when they had a certain threat to the old forces of the founding family.
For this, the founding families also paid a heavy price, so they were more wary of the rapid rise of new powers, which led to the dissatisfaction of those remnants of power in the federation and the relatively general public dissatisfaction.
In order to avoid repeating the past, the founding family built barriers to prevent the rise of new forces, and this kind of behavior that violates the natural development of society will inevitably be opposed by people.
People may not dare to do anything now under the threat of repressive rule and secret police, but it is not so difficult to support the rebels.
There are some young people who are very interested in joining the rebels, and it is said that in addition to the aid of the Empire, some of the new capitalists in the Federation are also strongly supporting their movement.
That's why Sisi said on TV that it is not a game to recognize the reality and the true face of the rebel armed groups, and justice will prevail.
It wasn't until the news was completely over that Durin turned off the TV, in fact, he had heard footsteps just now, but the news was important.
He stood up and walked to the bar, looking at Pete as he went, "Wine or coffee? I don't have any flower tea here." β
"Bring me some wine, I need this ......", Pete replied, and then casually walked to the edge of the sofa and sat down, no one stopped him, he looked around, the decoration was very simple and very much in line with the image of Durin in his heart.
In fact, when everyone was discussing to bring Durin in, he hesitated for this, a young man who can be in a high position at a young age and has a certain positive influence in society is definitely not too easy to woo.
He is not like those men in their forties and fifties, fifty or sixty years old, men in this period have struggled for half their lives, they have endured hardships and injuries, and finally walked and climbed to where they are today.
Many of them no longer have the desire and momentum to continue to struggle, and only want to guard the power or wealth in their hands now, and then spend the rest of their lives happily and peacefully.
Progressive, struggle, like the that was pulled yesterday, has long been washed into the sewer and merged with all the discarded, and can no longer be recycled.
Therefore, the people at this stage are the main goal of the Earth God Cult, they are content with pleasure, so give them the most comfortable enjoyment.
They like the opposite sex, and as long as they believe in the Soil God Religion, on the basis of respecting religious customs, the followers of the Earth God Religion can marry four wives or marry four husbands.
If you like to live an exciting life, whether it's watching others fight and kill, or going up and killing something yourself, there's everything here.
What's even more terrifying is that they also support "customization" services, as long as the wishes are not too excessive, the Earth God Cult will help them fulfill it.
But Du Lin is different, he is still young, there are only two possibilities to be able to hold a high position at such an age, one is to have an amazing identity background, born in a big noble, his parents are independent representatives of the big nobles, and he combines the heritage of the two big families for hundreds of years, and from the moment he was born, they have surpassed 99.5% of the people in this world.
Durin is not, he does not meet the first rule, everyone knows that he is...... The farmer's son.
Then there is only the second one, great ambition, unprecedented execution, terrible courage and the belief to carry it through.
This kind of person is the most difficult to win over, why, because they know what they want, such people are the most terrible, they can understand themselves, know the purpose of all their actions, they are not confused, everything is orderly and accurate.
They don't think about what to drink when they pick up the cup because they have already decided what they want to drink before they pick up the cup.
If you want to win over Durin, you have to show him that there is a ladder here that will allow him to get to where he wants to go faster, otherwise it is simply unrealistic.
No matter how great the Cult of the Earth God boasted, it was impossible to make Durin governor and prime minister, and those were precisely his goals.
But when Charles suggested that he could try it, Pete hesitated, but agreed to Charles's request and let him try it.
If they succeed, they will gain an unprecedented resource, and it doesn't matter if they fail, let alone offend Durin.
But Pete just ignored one point, the Earth God Cult is valuable in Durin's eyes - everyone has the responsibility to report the cult, and if this kind of glorious thing is discovered, if you don't rush to do it, is it still secretly hidden?
In fact, until now, Pete didn't know that the end of the Earth God Cult was because they provoked Durin...... This sentence is not right, it should be said that they want to win him over.
Durin brought him some wine, returned to the couch with two glasses, and pushed one of them over.
Pete looked at the handcuffs between his hands, his meaning was obvious, he was already here anyway, why didn't he open the handcuffs, and there were so many people around?
Most of the time this trick will be effective, especially when a young man is in a high position and has always had absolute dominance over the things around him, he will develop a sense of pride that nothing will escape his control, even if a handcuff is opened.
But Durin looked at him as if he hadn't seen it, and raised his glass, "What shall I call you?
Pete was a little speechless and held the cup in his two hands, and touched Doolin, "Pete, call me Pete, this is actually my real name." β
Durin smiled and took a sip of his wine and put the cup back on the coffee table, "I'm curious, Mr. Pete, you obviously have many opportunities to leave forever and hide, hidden in some corner of this world, I and the others may not find you for the rest of our lives." β
"With the wealth you have acquired in the past, I believe that anywhere is enough for you to live a very comfortable and respectable life. β
Pete nodded, "That's right, but you may not know that as long as we live in this society and live around other people, we can't get rid of other people's interference with us." β
Durin felt something in his heart and nodded yes, "I recently learned a new word, it comes from the East, it's called 'body can't help itself', and that's what it means. β
"Can't control yourself?", Pete was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and missed this little knowledge point, "A lot of people are looking for me, and it's safer on the Empire's side than their presumptuousness in those small and remote countries." β
"At least they didn't dare to shoot me in droves with rifles, or kidnap me in a car during the day. β
Durin smiled, Pete was complaining about his kidnapping, and he was about to ask something, but Pete followed along, blocking what he wanted to say.
"Mr. Doolin, I believe that in your position, you have understood the sadness and horror of 'being involuntarily', many times what we are doing is not necessarily what we want to do, we do things against our will just to live better. β
"There were some small differences and contradictions between us in the past, but those are not important, let me go, I will give you 10 million!"
"Send me abroad, I'll give you 30 million!"
This is not a small amount, even if the Imperial Star Yuan has become less valuable than before in the quiet inflation, but 10 million or 30 million is still a very considerable wealth.
Durin pursed his lips and smiled, "I'm not interested in money, money is more like an ornament for people like me, say something I'm interested in, for example, who is manipulating all this behind your back?"
Pete's expression was a little stiff, he thought for a while, and said, "Fifty million, plus the three local states in the west, about one hundred and seventy officials' bad deeds and some evidence of violations, with these things, the entire west is up to you alone." β
Durin didn't answer him immediately, but squinted at Pete with a smile, and the man's expression in the corner of his eye was as ugly as if he had just smelled a smelly sock that had not been washed from his sweaty feet for three months and was still steaming yellow.
He shook his head, "You still don't understand, Mr. Pete, that ant nests with bed bugs in the eyes of lions may be extensive, but they can't contain a single piece of a lion's minions. β
"These things are valued by you and those behind you, but not in my eyes at all. β
"Maybe you and the people behind you need these things to be able to manipulate them into cooperating with you, or to be threatened by you, but for me, all I need to do is give them a phone call. β
"And then tell them that the person who called them, that is, me, is called Durin!"
"In the west, what I, DΓΌhring, said, is the law, the law, and the truth!"
