Chapter 470: Falling Son
The two of them spoke slowly, and their words were clear and concise, as if they were talking indifferently between gentlemen, but old Corey felt a chill, and there was an indescribable uncomfortable feeling in his chest, as if he was on the deck of a ship that was violently bumped in a stormy sea.
Marlow? Smith beckoned to the sectional sofa and said, "Sit." β
Tang Fang was not polite at all, and walked to the middle of the three-person sofa and sat down.
Old Corey smiled a little unnaturally and slowly sat down on a single sofa, while Marlowe sat down across from him and said, "What to drink?" β
Tang Fang said: "Don't bother, Your Excellency didn't specifically invite me over for tea, it's still important to talk about business." β
Marlowe didn't expect him to speak so directly, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Very good, not humble or arrogant, he is a number one." β
What system is the Phoenix Empire? In the imperial country, the aristocracy does not follow the approachable route like the officials of the Star Alliance, they have always been high up, like a mountain overlooking the incompetent ants of the Jiji camp, and over time they naturally form a momentum, and ordinary people will inevitably be unbalanced and afraid in front of them.
Tang Fang smiled and replied lightly: "Pass the award." β
What is the title of Lord Doge? Second Earl! Two or three counts like him have died at his hands, Aldrich of Crotan, Roger of Rector and, of course, Lancelot, the successor of the higher duke.
Don't say Marlowe? Smith is just an earl, even if the Holy Emperor of the Phoenix Empire xiΓ Virginia? Alexander was close to him, but he could not shake the captain's heart, because there was always someone who had to pay for the tragic fate of Maurice.
Perhaps it was Tang Fang's coldness and calmness that made Marlowe a little displeased, he frowned and looked at the old Corey opposite: "You are Cory of the 'Rover Technology Consortium'?" Christian? β
"Yes." Old Corey nodded, not knowing what to remember. After a deep sigh, he added: "It used to be." β
Marlowe looked at Tang Fang, then at him, and suddenly a glint burst out of his eyes, and then quickly dimmed, and he lay on his back on the back of the sofa. After thinking for a long time, he said, "That mysterious battleship is here for you." β
Tang Fang shrugged, his expression was indifferent, and his tone was equally indifferent, as if this was not the point of the matter at all: "Maybe, who knows......"
Perhaps? Who knows? Marlowe's fingers on the crook of his leg and gently tapping his knee froze in place, frowning and saying, "You don't know where it came from?" β
Tang Fang said: "I don't know. β
Marlowe didn't ask again, he wanted to understand one thing, and there was not much point in dwelling on this issue. Moreover, since the other party doesn't want to say it, he doesn't have any good way, after all, now that he has a request for someone, it's better not to dwell on these details.
The Tianchao Star Region has always been not very peaceful, and there are even more undercurrents under the turbulent situation, and there are many rats hiding in the shadows.
A sad face and a smile bloomed. "You're in luck," he said. β
"Who's to say it isn't."
Tang Fang still had that somewhat underbeaten face, and old Corey finally understood why Horace hated him. This is an act of contempt for authority and respect, and it seems very rude, very rebellious, and very uneducated.
However, this is very relieving, because Marlowe is known as the most promising man in the "Pulsatilla" family. Being able to see the Earl eat deflated is definitely something that is difficult to do even with money.
Marlowe is indeed a little angry, the clay man still has three points of anger, let alone a noble son like him, just because he has been immersed in officialdom for many years. His qi cultivation skills are very good, angry but not obvious, sad but not dry, still unhurried to say: "It's a pity that the luck of Boyle and Horace and others is really not very good. β
βno,no,no,noοΌβ
Tang Fang shook his right index finger like a pendulum with 4 no's in a row, this behavior was still very disrespectful, but his next words made Marlowe's pupils shrink, and his body seemed to be frozen into a piece of ice by a sudden cold wind, cold and hard.
"Their luck is already very good, they have the whole corpse, but the 'staff' in the warehouse...... They...... It's your people. β
As he said this, the captain stopped, and his gaze fell on the Earl through his index finger, splitting his not-so-good-looking face in half.
It was almost noon, the sun was shining, and the spicy light entered the room through the window lattice, and was cut off by the precious tables and chairs in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as the stiff body of the Earl, the heat of the sun was enough to melt the snow and the glacier, but it could not melt the wind and snow in his heart and the cold in his eyes.
Marlowe looked at Tang Fang, his eyes were wide, his pupils were very small, his body was tense, his expression was very cold, and he said, "Your luck is so good." "It's just a casual compliment, and he believes in strength, or brains, more than luck.
Although he didn't know what had happened in the warehouse, he knew very well that the situation had developed to the point where the Tang Fang and the others were able to survive was that luck accounted for a very small proportion, and even infinitely close to 0.
This guy is really smart!
However, now, he suddenly found that he still underestimated his opponent, and Captain Tang's intelligence was completely beyond his imagination, and he was already close to a demon.
The message revealed in the above sentence may seem simple, but in fact it contains something much deeper.
Marlowe knows this, because these so-called "deep things" originate from him.
As early as last night, he had already seen the conspiracy of the "Rover Technology Complex", and knew that Boyle, Horace and others had set up a trap for Captain Tang.
It is true that this is very shameless, despicable, and inferior, but Lord Earl is not a decent gentleman, so he has no heart to care about Tang Fang's life or death, even if the representative of the Phoenix Empire is not cheated during the "Somar" auction, he will never carry forward his style to save a businessman from the Star Alliance.
Because he needs to make a fuss about the death of some people, in order to create some "little trouble" for the Star Alliance government, whether Tang Fang and others die, or Horace and a few people are finished, it doesn't make much difference to him, as long as the "staff" of the treasury accidentally breaks this ugly thing, the Phoenix Empire has enough reason to pour dirty water on the Star Alliance government and ask for explanations, so that those old guys in the council are anxious and embarrassed.
In fact...... It really doesn't matter who dies or who lives!
It's just that I didn't expect to bite the gold halfway, and the mysterious battleship intervened. Stirring the situation into a mess, the carefully arranged "staff" died, and only a few people from the Tang side survived at the scene.
Boyle, Horace and others all died, leaving only Corey? Christian is alive, and now it seems that this old guy is afraid that he has betrayed the "Rover Technology Consortium". Bought by this kid.
And now Captain Tang's seemingly very casual words, but if they don't hit his heart, Marlowe? How could Smith not be shocked, how not to be shocked!
Zhi is almost a demon, this word may be very applicable to Zhuge Liang in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but it is not very practical for Tang Fang, where is he as terrible as the Earl thinks, but with Emma here, the instructions sent by the Governor's Mansion to various places in "Alcaisi" through guΓ² space-based communication equipment cannot be hidden from his ears and eyes. That's all.
Of course, he won't say that, Marlowe? Naturally, Smith had no way of knowing.
"Good!"
These two words were uttered almost with the tip of their tongue bitten, as cold as the wind and as sharp as an ice pick.
The Earl straightened up, looked at him, and said, "I like to deal with smart people, because it saves a lot of trouble. β
These are the words of his heart, but they are half of them. Because the second half of the sentence is a little unpleasant, at least in today's scene, it is very inappropriate to say. Because it is: "At the same time, I hate dealing with smart people because it's nerve-wracking." β
Tang Fang smiled, did not answer, looked at Marlowe, and quietly waited for his next words.
"Tell me about your conditions. I know you're a businessman. β
Politicians are good at balancing, businessmen are proficient in buying and selling, and this is a society where profit is paramount, and if you want to reap, you have to pay.
Marlowe understands this truth, so. He didn't talk nonsense, let alone explain in detail, but said: "What I want, you should know very well in your heart." β
Tang Fang nodded and said: "I know what you want, in the general direction, we have a common enemy, but you are a politician, and I want to take a bad breath, I always have some people or organizations to pay some price for what I did today, otherwise, others will think that I am a good bully." β
Marlowe smiled, the golden sunlight blooming behind him, the ice turning into warm jade, and the cold wind and haze swept away.
"I don't know what other people think, but I wouldn't think so," he said. β
Tang Fang's eyes narrowed into a slit, looked at the somewhat dazzling "Babylon" on the top of the floor-to-ceiling window, and said with a smile: "What about before? β
Marlowe thought for a moment and said, "Troublemaker, ghost is worried." β
"The Earl is so humorous."
"Captain Tang has good means."
ββ¦β¦β
Old Corey sitting in Marlowe? Opposite Smith, the temperature in the governor's office was neither high nor low, like the season of peach blossoms, however, he felt that the underside of his butt was wet and greasy, as if a layer of sweat was sticking to it, and he was uncomfortable.
He vaguely guessed the content of the transaction between the two, and his understanding of Captain Tang's personality deepened Cheng DΓΉ.
This kid is not only cunning, but also a contradictory combination of long-sleeved and good dancing but unwilling to suffer, and will be retributed.
In Marlowe? In Smith's cognition, he may have been bought by Tang Fang and placed in the "Rover Technology Consortium" as an eyeliner, which made the plan of Boyle and others fall short and die tragically in a foreign land.
He was really wronged, in the whole incident, he didn't pass the wind for Captain Tang once, and reported a letter, he was more like a bystander, watching Boyle, Horace and others act, and finally played himself to death.
Tang Fang didn't seem to have done anything, but he knew everything, he had always been very cooperative, like a qualified supporting actor, watching the leading actors jump and jump like monkeys, and slap them to death when they were smiling and jumping the most happily.
It was only then that he really saw clearly what kind of person Captain Tang was and how deeply his strength was hidden, so he did not hesitate to become a traitor, which was to save his life, and it was also a choice.
In many cases, the rules of the workplace and officialdom are very similar, and they need to stand in line.
Of course, he would not have told Governor SΓΉ Marlowe about these words, because it didn't matter, what mattered was how he would submit his name next.
One; The "Rover Tech Consortium" came to the door to peddle minerals.
Two; The place of the transaction was not the "Hanging Garden", but the "Alcaissy", which was under the jurisdiction of the Phoenix Empire.
Three; After the Tang arrived at "Cui Vanke", "Iga Industrial", "Eco-Sowopurna Group", "Ward Heavy Industries" and several government-backed mineral trading companies secretly transported large quantities of minerals to "Alcaisey".
Four; Treasury 07 changed, and Horace, Benedict, Boyle, and a large number of armed men died unnaturally.
Five; Tang Fang accused the "Rover Technology Consortium" and "Iga Industrial" and "World Heavy Industries" and other Star Alliance military industrial enterprises of designing and framing him, and threw out the remarks that the Star Alliance Council manipulated him behind the scenes.
Six; Corey, the former manager of the "Rover Technology Consortium" branch in "Babylon"? Christian admits that this is a conspiracy involving many of the Alliance's military-industrial complex, and blames O'Neiens, the Covenant's executive councillor, as an excuse for so-called national events. He deliberately suppressed the "Morning Star Casting" and intended to transfer the blame to the "Alcais" government.
Seven; The Phoenix Empire's on-site inspection report.
Even if there is no direct evidence that the Covenant government is involved in this matter, with the above 7 points, the Phoenix Empire has enough reason to question the Covenant government.
You must know that the social system of the Star Alliance is not like an imperial state, and the citizens have bright eyes and hearts. If you're smart, you naturally want to figure out what's going on and what's behind it.
In the event of such a political scandal, once the matter becomes bigger, the pressure on the top of the government can be imagined, and even the parliament may face a reshuffle.
Who can afford the crime of the Star Alliance government, which regards the "Babylon" Convention as nothing, and deliberately frames foreign investors?
Especially the situation of Tianchao is changing. At a time when the people's hearts are uneasy, the countries are in danger, and the "Babylonian economy" is suffering a setback, if such an unconstitutional scandal breaks out, the impact will be far-reaching, and the danger will be deep, you can imagine it.
These were all things that old Corey thought of for a moment, and he couldn't help but dip his sleeves in the cold sweat that overflowed from his sideburns. Looking at the man opposite who was bathed in gold, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
The temperature in the room was not high. But his heart was getting hotter and hotter, not eagerness, nor enthusiasm, but hot, stuffy, and irritating.
No wonder Marlowe? Smith is known as the most promising man in the "Pulsatilla" family, no wonder the reincarnation of the Divine Phoenix, the Great Sage and Holy Emperor of Virginia? Alexander would send him to garrison "Alcais". This man was thoughtful, with vicious eyes, and was a terrible fellow, shrewder than some of the old foxes of the council.
If Nicole? Arnold is the economic ambassador of the Phoenix Empire, so Marlowe? Smith was a political and military ambassador. A true combination of civil and military.
Marlowe didn't know that he had thought so much in an instant with just a few words, and although he noticed that the merchant's expression had become stiff as iron, he didn't have the heart to scruple about it, because just dealing with Captain Tang was enough to make him anxious.
In fact, there is also a "if body" in his heart - if Corey? Christian is an old fox, and the guy who talks to him on the other side is a thousand-year-old vixen who has rejuvenated, which is both slippery and tricky, and makes people have a headache.
He looked at Tang Fang and said for the second time, "Let's talk about your conditions." β
Tang Fang got up from the sofa, walked to the bright floor-to-ceiling window, and said as he walked: "Don't be busy talking about the conditions first, I want to ask the earl a word." β
Marlowe turned his head, looked at his back that seemed to melt into the sunlight, and said, "Ask." β
"You shouldn't have any evidence in your hand, after all, the monitoring equipment in the treasury has been destroyed, Horace and the others have also returned to the dead, and the confession of Old Corey is too thin, and it is easy for the Covenant government to find countermeasures to confuse the public."
Tang Fang looked at the low ridge in the distance, on which the pines and cypresses were green.
He seemed to be fascinated by the beautiful scenery, and after a dozen breaths, he said, "I can provide you with direct evidence." β
"What!" Marlow? Smith suddenly got up from the couch like a spring that suddenly loosened after being tensed, looked at the somewhat dazzling back behind the desk, and said, "Are you sure you want to do this?" β
If it is just accusations and testimony, it will make the Covenant government fall into the quagmire of public opinion, but if the crisis public relations is timely and handled properly, it will not hurt the muscles and bones, but if there is direct evidence that the Covenant government is behind this matter, then it will be different, and the Covenant must make a positive statement.
This also means that the Tang side and the Star Alliance government have completely torn their faces, which is not what a businessman should do.
Old Corey on the other side also got up from the sofa, he didn't think about it that much, but he was very strange why Tang Fang had direct evidence.
Marlowe may think that he collected it in the process of working as a spy in the "Rover Technology Consortium", but he knows very well that it is not like that at all.
Tang Fang retracted his gaze from afar, turned around and walked back to his place and sat down, and said calmly, "Do you think it is necessary to save some face between me and the Star Alliance government?" β
"Knowing that I was going to buy minerals, they mobilized their forces to raise prices and play with me to draw salaries; Knowing that I was going to form the 'Morning Star Forge', I was very tight on money, but I did not hesitate to transfer 40 billion from my account, and now I am planning to harm me, and even my only ally, the 'Rover Technology Consortium', has turned against me under the influence of the government. β
"Since they treat me like this, why do you need to save their faces, it's better to tear them apart, everyone, you have done a lot of work with me, to see who is more skilled, and by the way, to show the grievances, anger, and grievances that have been accumulated for a long time."
Marlowe stared at his face tightly, and it took him a minute before he burst out laughing: "Okay, you are arrogant, you are a person who does great things!" β
Captain Tang is right, the Star Alliance government forced him so much, and this time it almost took his life, since he couldn't bear it, then there was no need to endure it anymore, just let the Star Alliance political scene earthquake. (To be continued......)
