Chapter 1726: Xingshi asks for guilt
"It's sunny, and I'm in a great mood."
In the early morning, when the sun is visiting the valley and the town is gradually becoming a human voice. Leon walked out of the castle and stretched. The members of his independent squad also walked out of the castle one after another, everyone was full of spirits, and the good sleep of last night made them now fierce, even if they were told to go into battle immediately, no one would frown.
Allen, who was walking behind Leon, shook his head, of course this kid was in a good mood. After negotiating with Vig all night last night, Leon really reaped a lot of benefits for himself. That's right, for yourself, not for your family. The Smiths' reparations covered the Brystin family's estate, army, and clansmen. The man's people, young and middle-aged, were incorporated into the army and became Leon's 'private' army. The 'female' and the child will be sold, and all the proceeds will naturally go to Leon. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Leon has sold them to the Smith family, and as for what the Smith family does with this group of people, he can't control and doesn't want to care.
Even Blystin's army and the men of the clan will only be pushed to the front line as cannon fodder on the battlefield in the future, especially the men of the clan, Leon does not expect them to be loyal to him, on the contrary, he believes that these people will be full of resentment. So he used these people as cannon fodder, even if some of these people have good talents, but for Leon, the last thing he lacks is talent.
In addition to Blightin's family business, the Smith family also paid the price for the operation. Although Vig and Leon fought for every inch of land at the negotiating table last night, in the end, Vig still paid enough to satisfy Leon. In addition to paying Leon an elite army of about 100 people, the Smith family also included money, equipment, production lines, and compensation for two small towns.
Together, it was a huge fortune, but the Smiths could afford it. Even Vig can use his own 'private' property to pay off this debt.
Getting these things, Leon's personal strength will increase by leaps and bounds, and he knocked Vig hard, at least five years less.
Leon grabbed Allen's arm and said triumphantly, "You know, brother." The right investment I've made in my life is to get to know you. ”
Alan smiled but said nothing.
Behind the floor-to-ceiling windows of the castle, Vig watched several airships take off into the air before he said to the secretary behind him, who was comparable to the body of a supermodel: "Call me big brother." ”
On this day, the Smith family announced the family's deal with Leon through their own channels, and the news came out, which immediately caused a shock on the surface. People were shocked that the Smiths had done such a thing, and they were even more shocked by what kind of force had forced them to publish their ugly deeds.
In any case, the name Leon was remembered for the first time.
It's a secluded estate.
There is a calm lake in front of the manor, and there are a few yellow leaves floating on the lake, and the lake does not gently 'waver', pushing those yellow leaves farther and farther away.
The green grass on the lake stretches ahead, paving the land at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, and in front of it is a 'private' manor, the black 'color' iron 'door' of the manor is closed, and the iron 'door' has the letters S and H on both sides, which is the English abbreviation of the Smith family. On each side of the iron gate, there is a wall extending to the left and right, and the wall is occupied by creepers, like two tree walls.
Behind the fence is the 'flower' garden, and behind the 'flower' garden is a square. There is a fountain in the square, and several flying cars are parked in a garage next to it. In front of the square is a main building, which is very classical in architectural style, where people only feel peaceful.
However, the calm of the place was only superficial, and when a faint whisper sounded in the sky, there were crowds of people all over the manor, but the guards quickly received the news and returned to their posts. Not long after, a small airship landed on the surface of the lake, and in the midst of the turbulent water, the airship slid forward and finally landed on the lawn.
A deck descended, and someone came down from it. Walking in the front was Capro, the old lion biting a cigar, wearing a uniform 'stiff', and a fox 'fur' cloak on his shoulders, his already majestic figure became more and more burly.
Kapro strode off the airship, and behind him was the marshal's chief secretary, plus two guards, and that's all that Capro had brought with him.
As Capro walked towards the manor, the two large black iron 'doors' of the manor opened. Then a scooter drove out of the manor, and a butler jumped out of the car, put his hand on his chest, and bowed forward, saying, "Welcome to Smith's house, honorable Marshal Capro." ”
"Less, what about Randy?" Capro took the cigar and looked like a teacher asking for guilt.
The butler said unhurriedly: "The master of the house is playing golf in the back, please come with me, marshal." ”
He snapped his fingers, and another electromagnetic scooter drove out. Kapro snorted and rode with the butler, while the secretary and guard got into another electromagnetic car. Two electromagnetic cars drove into the manor, quietly but quickly going deeper and deeper along the manor's road.
They passed the 'flower' garden, the square, and bypassed the main building, but behind them was an open field, a well-manicured lawn, and even an artificial lake. There is a pole on the lawn, and you can see someone swinging in the distance, and there is an awning next to it.
Two induction cars come under the awning, and the butler asks Capro to wait a moment before informing Randy, who is playing golf. The owner of the Smith family, who had been out for many years, put down his club, came to the awning with a smile on his face, and said: "It's okay to be idle, and I remembered a sport that people were keen on in the old days, so I let this lawn be repaired." Marshal Kapro, do you want to try it too? ”
Capro spat out a smoke ring, "I don't have Mr. Randy's leisure, what's the news you posted today." Why didn't I know you were doing this against the Williams in the first place! ”
Randy said lightly, "Marshal Kapro, we are only your funders, and we don't necessarily have to get your consent for everything. Of course, our starting point is also absolutely for your consideration, if it succeeds, you will get the secret help of the William family in the negotiations the day after tomorrow. ”
"But you've failed!" Kapro said loudly: "And because of this incident, I have no face now." You'll think I was the one who planned it, or at least, I was involved. Now that you are announcing this in the name of your own family, it is just a means for me to shirk my responsibility. ”
Randy laughed, "Marshal Capro, is it that important what outsiders think?" History is always written by the victors, and these victors are not necessarily as tall as they are written in the history books. So you see, it's not a big deal to have a little bit of necessary means, and besides, politics has nothing to do with the words justice and light, and I don't think you need to worry too much about that. ”
"To make it clear, it is me who negotiates with the Federation the day after tomorrow, not you. Now because of this incident, the call for federal support will be louder. And my people don't say anything on the surface, but who can guarantee that they won't have certain ideas? Kapro said in a deep voice, "All this could have been avoided, and if you had been a prophet of me, I would have made you abandon this plan." A William's family can't change anything at all on that occasion. ”
"There are only a few people who can really decide the fate of this planet, what are you doing with so many extra things!"
At this time, a few cups of black tea sent by the housekeeper, Randy picked up a cup and took a sip and said, "So for this matter, you actually want the marshal to come to the 'door' in person?" I don't think you need to be angry, even if there is such a thing, the negotiation the day after tomorrow may not be bad for you. In other words, the absence of such a thing does not necessarily mean that the negotiation will be more beneficial to you. ”
"No, Mr. Randy. I'm not here today to discuss the pros and cons of this with you. I just wanted to tell you that now that we're all in the same boat, I think you should respect me as a collaborator, and it's a terrible feeling to be 'kept in the dark', and at the same time, I don't feel your sincerity. ”
Kapro stood up and said, "After the negotiations with the Federation are over, I feel that it is necessary to adjust the cooperation model between us. ”
The marshal was about to leave, and Randy said, "Marshal Kapro, we are merchants. Businessmen don't invest their entire business in one project, don't you? ”
Capro looked back and said, "I'm not a businessman, but I do. It's hard for you to find big projects to invest in anymore unless you want to work with the Light Hidden Society or the Federation. Believe me, working with them will be a pleasure in the end. ”
Then he got into the car and left the lawn.
Randy shook his teacup and said, "Who said he was just a lion, he could be a fox too." ”
Kapro didn't hear this, and by the time he returned to the ship, the anger and dissatisfaction he had just felt had vanished. He sat down calmly, and the secretary reminded him, "Marshal, another invitation was sent from there three minutes ago. ”
Kapro said "um" and said, "Reply to them for me, I'll go over and meet them now." ”
The ship lifted off, but instead of heading for the Holy Helmet Fortress, it sailed in the other direction.
The flames rise in the fireplace, and the smoke from the burning wood is constantly carried away by the 'smokers' on both sides of the fireplace so that it does not spread into the room. So the room is warm, but there is no choking smoke.
It's more like a room than a hall. Because it's so vast and so amazing. The floor is covered with a red-coloured carpet, and four columns support the vaulted dome. The dome is painted with painted glass of angels and demons in battle, and then a light is lit up, and the built-in light illuminates both the hall and the paintings of the dome.
In the middle of the hall there is a round table with four chairs. The back of the chair is made of red 'colour' velvet cushion, which is both comfortable and beautiful. At this time, two people were sitting in chairs, one was relatively young, and he looked to be in his thirties. The other is already old, with age spots on his skin.
These two are among the few people on the surface who are now at the pinnacle of power.
