198 Wise self-preservation

I have to say that Tollis's scheming and city government are really deep, and in terms of control of the situation, he is really close to Saint-Judge Atlanta.

Of course, there is still a lot of distance.

Tollis also lacks insight into the big picture, and it would be a shame to put his IQ on such trivial things.

At least, for now.

Lin Xiu still admired Tollis very much.

It's just that this is just appreciation, not satisfaction......

The meeting was still going on, and Lin Xiu had insight into Tolis's plan in just a few breaths, and the rigor was indeed good, but his vision was still too narrow, and it was taboo to put the key to victory or defeat on a third party...... Because you simply don't know what the next step will be.

Or rather, it's just luck.

If the rebels win, the movement of the 'generals' will become more and more loud, and slowly the empire's vigilance against the Eighteenth District will be reduced, or more precisely, ignored.

If the Imperial Army wins, the 'General' will not be alive anymore, and at the same time he will still have some merit, so why not?

If both sides lose, there is no doubt that Tollis will be a 'surprise army', changing the balance of victory and defeat, both eliminating the 'general' and gaining merit......

Whatever the case may be.

Tollis can protect himself!

Indeed, he jumped off the chessboard.

It's a pity that he is not qualified to play chess!

Toris didn't notice Lin Xiu's brief changes, and under the deterrence of strong tactics and words, he continued, "TO, a collection of nobles and chaebols, can be regarded as a remnant of the old world, and it cannot be ignored in terms of ability, and it also has a pivotal position"

"They take the convenience granted by the Empire for granted, and it is unforgivable to assist the 'Generals...... The purpose of inviting you here today is to investigate the criminal acts of the TO, as well as those involved in assisting the rebels, through their own connections.

They are unforgivable sinners!

Whistleblowing merit!

Everybody...... Shape up or ship out! Tollis said with that understatement.

Sure enough, in fact, Lin Xiu was a little disappointed, the master was lonely, in fact, he was just as eager to appear as an opponent, not some chess pieces.

The other nobleman present stood up a little urgently, first bowed apologetically, and then said extremely nervously, "Your Excellency, TO is just a rumor...... Saying, we don't have any evidence at all, if it really exists, we really choose to target these people.

This is a fatal blow to the economy of the 18th district.

And it's irreparable damage...... And, some...... Your Excellency, you know, there are some unwritten rules on the Empire's side that are also motivating...... So...... We ......"

The nobleman wiped his sweat as he spoke, he was very nervous, there was no way, there were some things that could not be said on the surface, but Toris was the controller of the highest authority in the eighteenth district, how to weigh the two sides, it was too difficult.

"Oh~ Since it's a rumor, how do you know that they can break the chain of the Eighteenth District?" Toris asked with a smile.

"I ...... This one...... I ......" the nobleman was speechless.

"Let's not talk about the authenticity of TO, then let me change the question, what about the search for the 'general' in the 18th district? So far, they haven't found the location where they are hiding, how to say? Tollis kept flipping through the various confidences about the Eighteenth District on the projection, and said, "Eighteenth District, it doesn't seem like much, right?" ”

At this time, another related nobleman also stood up nervously and explained, "Your Excellency, although these things are all done by the 'general'.

However, no clues to the accident of the remains of the rebel members were not found at all...... Most of their activities are located in slums and grey areas with large registration loopholes...... It's hard to do a census ......"

Boom!

Toris slapped the table with a displeased face, "Can't make a move against TO, and can't help the Empire to push the 'General' into a corner?"

Did you know?

As a result, this is a sign of incompetence...... At the end of the meeting, you should think about it, what to do, and have a ruler mentally, don't blame me for not reminding you. ”

"Yes...... Your Excellency"

"We know absolutely!"

…… The end of the meeting is undoubtedly to make these people feel relieved, where are there any opinions, whatever you say, they are all thinking about leaving here as soon as possible, and the people involved in TO have already begun to prepare to report to the higher-ups, and the actions of the empire are becoming more and more unruly.

All in all, the deterrent purpose of this meeting was achieved, but the effect was very small, and there was no practical effect at all.

Soon.

These people fled and left...... The conference room was empty, and at this time, Tollis took the water handed by Li Qin and said, "If you don't leave, do you have anything to say?" ”

In the conference room, in addition to Tollis and Li Qin, it was naturally Jiang Shu and Lin Xiu.

In terms of authority, Tollis and Jiang Shu are on the same level.

In terms of power, Tollis and Lin Xiu are on the same level.

"Do you know what you've done?" Jiang Shu endured it for a long time, and finally asked with a frown.

"Well, of course I do," Tollis laughed.

"The TO organization is not so easy to deal with, they are an organization that even the Holy Judge acquiesces to, and you want to target it? Isn't it too whimsical? Jiang Shu said dissatisfied.

"I didn't think about targeting TO, just a warning, this time...... They actually have someone under our noses to deliver supplies to the 'general'.

It's not going to knock ...... That would be a dereliction of duty! Tollis squinted.

"Hmph, if you cause economic turmoil in the eighteenth district, you are also derelict in your duty!" Jiang Shu said aura.

"You don't have to worry about it, I'm the commander of the eighteenth district, if something really goes wrong, I'll take it" Toris didn't care, then glanced at Lin Xiu, who didn't speak in the whole meeting, and asked with a smile, "Chief of Staff, what do you think about this meeting?" ”

Lin Xiu smiled politely, "No! ”

"Oh~ This is not like what a staff officer should say" Toris smiled lightly, "I didn't expect that you could climb so fast, it is indeed unexpected"

"It's all the cultivation of the empire...... I'm tasked with developing a strategic plan for the 'Generals' and don't want to meddle in your jurisdiction.

TO, I shouldn't be in charge, I don't want to ask, don't ask me! Lin Xiu replied, "As Your Excellency just said, something really has to happen.

You're in charge."

Jiang Shu immediately handed over an encouraging look, as if to say, it was good.

"Hehe" Toris smiled lightly without being angry.

The three most powerful people in the Eighteenth District appeared in a conference room for the first time, but they had their own opinions, which was indeed a bit dull.

But.

But they can't help each other.

That's where the fun comes in.

……

Bonfire.

There are no lights.

The retro wick burns quietly.

The house is not big.

Here, there is nothing related to technology or data, only ancient, primitive ways, and a few shadows that appear quietly and can't see their faces clearly, each of them is blocked by a rolling blind, and no one knows who is next to them.

At this time, the commander-in-chief of the rebel army, Levi, was standing in the center with his hands in his hands.

"I didn't expect the 'General' to be able to do this, the battle in the Fourth Slum was very exciting, and the fall of one Holy Judge and the serious injury of another Holy Judge were also serious.

It's a triumph!

Very good! A roller shutter said approvingly.

"Don't rejoice too early, it is because of the appearance of the 'general' that the current Xinli Military Region (Resistance Army) has already shown signs of splitting.

A lot of people have lost patience.

Our long-standing policy of forbearance is out of balance," and another curtain holds an objection: "If it continues, the new military region will swell and die."

"So...... It's too early, the 'general' does have something extraordinary, how can it be called a resistance force if he doesn't resist...... Besides, isn't Levi still there?

Hehe.

The King of Soldiers.

What do you think? ”

The simple argument finally brought the topic to Levi's side, who always stood with a light smile...... Looking at these roller blinds, Levi didn't talk much, his words were simple.

"Give it a try, it really doesn't work, I'll personally make him disappear!"
