The scene should be big, and the greeting personnel should be enthusiastic, but the most important thing is to ask three questions!

This is the mayor's instructions to the deputy mayor before leaving, which can be said to be very incisive.

No matter how much the relationship between the Ottoman family-led coalition of nobles in the Sambia region and the government has deteriorated, the two sides still maintain the most basic restraint, and they are not ready to do it, no one dares to fire the first shot recklessly, the Ottoman side is worried that if they show impatience, they are likely to be considered by the market as ungrateful traitors, although they are doing similar things, but this reputation is still very important, the government side needs time to coordinate the refugee problem, the army also needs to be reorganized, hoping to buy more time, both sides seem to have reason to exercise restraint, it depends on who can't bear to break the fragile balance first。

But for now, at least, the deputy mayor still has to greet the three mayors with a warm smile, even if their faces are not very good-looking.

"What about Mr. Mayor? I'm sorry, it's not that I have an opinion about your identity, but we have come here with sincerity to discuss some cooperation with Mr. Mayor, is this kind of behavior simply insulting us. ”

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Mayor has other important guests to entertain today, and it happens to be the same day as a few of them, so I have no choice but to greet them, if you have anything to talk about, you all told me that the mayor has granted me a certain amount of power in the morning, and I can still handle most of the affairs on my behalf. ”

The deputy mayor replied to the questions of the three mayors slowly, although the three in front of him were all mayors, but the two sides were not a system at all, so these three people were not his bosses, and there was naturally no pressure to speak.

"The mayor has important guests, we understand, what about the others, how is Sergant also a big harbor city, and the government department is just these people?"

The station had already been cleared, but there were more than a dozen people standing scattered on the red carpet, and other than that, there were some meaningless greeting processions, and the loud and cheerful voices sounded a little harsh at the moment.

"Oh, there are still few people, you see, the Minister of Propaganda, the Personnel Bureau, the Construction Bureau, aren't the leaders of these departments here? Everyone is so busy with work, let's still focus on work, and some other important leaders can't just put down their work casually. ”

"Whatever?"

The mayor of Radoya frowned and asked, the status of each of them here can be said to be more than that of the mayor of Sergant, but a deputy mayor said in front of them that they were not received because they had a very important job?

"Is it necessary to do this? We have no ill will towards Sergant, we just want a suitable time and place for negotiation, can't we even be satisfied with this, is this your hospitality, the majesty of the three families is now not even a small port mayor?"

Mayor Oushelin consciously brought the other two mayors over to negotiate has already given the Segangt government a lot of face, after all, as long as anyone with a discerning eye can see the predicament of Sergant, the inland is almost completely blocked by the three major families, and the entire Sergant land combat force is less than 20,000 people, which is almost the extent that a group charge can be defeated, and even if those naval warships in the port are powerful, can they still aim the guns on the ships at their own city streets?

In the eyes of the three major families, Sergant is already in the bag, they only need to send someone to go through the motions, sign some agreements in private, and easily hold this port in their hands.

It's just that they overestimated the price they threw out on their side, and the early money did get some government officials, such as the Propaganda Department, the Organization Department, and so on, but can these people really speak in the government? It sounds like a minister, and the power in his hands is actually so small, to put it bluntly, the reason why these people can be bought off is largely because Qingshu has not invested much in them!

Those officials who are really in the key departments have already been counted up and down by Qingshu in the past two years, not only that, Qingshu's large amount of money to Atwood every month and the half-giant team left by his side are not for ornamentation, as long as it is a person or force who can speak in Sergant, there are only two choices, or accept Qingshu's money, and everyone will be friends in the future, of course, you can also choose to refuse, Qingshu will not do anything to you for no reason, but don't let Qingshu's intelligence network collect information about your defection to other organizations......

Two years of operation, not a lot of time, but a lot of money, the three major families want to rely on more than half a month to overturn the results of two years, even if it is a dream, you have to talk about the Basic Law, right?

Jingle bell~

"Excuse me, take the call, wait a minute. ”

The deputy mayor, whose position had already been determined, directly ignored the angry eyebrows of the three mayors, and went to the side alone with his mobile phone, and looked at the three of them from time to time while talking.

"What the hell does this guy want to do? I'm not afraid that our three major families will kill them directly!"

The grievances he has suffered in the past few minutes are almost catching up with the sum of this year, I don't know what the others are, the mayor of Ladoa must not be able to bear it, he is ready to get in the car and go back at any time.

"What do you think? It's nothing more than finding a backer, I want to see who the mayor of Sergant is going to see today, so that a little deputy mayor can give us three faces. ”

Sergant's performance was completely different from expectations, and the attitude of the deputy mayor really made people have to think about it, how can anyone be stunned if he can sit in a high position?

"The mayor is now at the port to greet the envoys of the Empire, and if you want to go, there are cars outside, and if you don't have any intention of doing so, I'll take you back to the town hall. ”

"Of course we go, we also want to meet the people who can make the mayor of Sergent care so much, let's go. ”

What do they want to do when they send the Imperial Emissaries at this time, they have already estimated their own goals in advance, and plan to make Sergant resist desperately? No matter what, even if it is to show his own attitude, he has to go this time, and it is necessary to let the leaders of Sergant know their determination.

So the interview session was skipped, and the group was not even interested in shaking hands and giving a speech, so they left the station and got on the bus prepared by the government directly to the port of Segangt.

"I'll see the Imperial Emissary later, our attitude ......"

The three mayors were in the same car, and the drivers were also replaced by their people.

"Something to say!"

Mayor Ou Shelin is in a bad mood, how can he be in the mood to play dumb riddles.

"I mean, we haven't been with the Empire yet, do we have to maintain a certain amount of respect for the Imperial Emissary later?"

"Respect a fart, you should know very well what our position is now, why, it's all up to this, you still want to leave a way back for yourself? I can tell you, stand in line and settle down after this kind of thing, can you guarantee that there are no monitors in our team? and want to maintain respect...... Take care of yourself first!"

It's just other people, they are the three major families that are the leaders of the Sambia region and the imperial government, if their attitude is not firm, it is easy for the people below to have some misunderstandings, the most taboo before the war is that the people are not aligned, to this point still want to maintain respect for the imperial envoys, it is simply stupid, you must know that when the two sides start a war, they will become the number one traitor!

"Mr. Mayor, it's here. ”

The car stopped at the port, and when you get out of the car, you can see the crowd standing in the distance.

"Let's talk later, look at the situation, and say less and make fewer mistakes. ”

Buttoning the buttons of the coat, the faces of the people in the January breeze at the port location seem to be rubbed by frosted pieces of paper, and they are astringent.

"Mr. Mayor, the three mayors representing the three major families have arrived. ”

The deputy mayor walked in front to report, and there were all people who knew the situation at the top, so there was no need to embellish the title, and the crowd quickly turned to the line that was coming this way.

"It's better to come early than to come sooner, let's listen to the judgment of the representatives of the three major families on the future situation. ”

Kellot in the crowd said with a smile, surrounded by Sergant's high-ranking people, yes, the mayor came to welcome him, to be exact, he is the emissary of the Empire.

The news that the three families were going to take action against Sergant had reached the Sambia Regional Government two days earlier, and after much thought, the government finally approved the Affleck family's proposal and agreed to the control of the seaport by the only family that could help Sergant.

The same notice also reached the side of Sergant for the first time, in the internal meeting of the Sergant government, it was the next policy to surrender the three major families, which means that the people in these important departments will have a great chance of being replaced, losing their current status and interests, which is unacceptable to everyone, of course, when they first learned that the Affleck family would be stationed in Sergant, these people also retained suspicion and hostility, for them, the important thing is not who will be the leader, what matters is whether everyone's established interests will be lost。

At this time, it was Qingshu's turn to appear, a day ago, Atwood went directly to the mayor's mansion, and when he came out, the mayor personally sent him out, and then the leaders of several key departments in Sergant received a phone call.

Miraculously, the enormous pressure that had been hanging over the government of Sergon was dissipated in the course of this afternoon.

The head of the Affleck family is the leader of the green tree, and he made it clear that most of the people's positions will not change, and only some people who are inclined to the three major families will be kicked out, and let the government prepare two lists, one for the traitor and the other for the capable successor.

On the one hand, there are enemies, who are likely to become traitors against the imperial government in the future, and on the other side are old friends who have cooperated for more than two years, and everyone has a basic level of trust and interest exchange with each other, but anyone with a little brain knows who to choose.

"I don't know what the purpose of the three of you came to us in Sergant this time? ”

The mayor of Sergant is an old man in his sixties, and his sideburns have a lot of silver threads, but his eyes are still sharp. , this guy was born in the Stoano region, and he was active in imperial politics for a period of time, but he was relegated to the local government because of corruption, and he did not lose anything against the three mayors.

"Mr. Joseph, we haven't talked about anything yet, have we? Everyone understands the current situation, and our three families have contributed enough to the empire over the years, right? Just because of one or two gaffes, you have to be punished, this time, we just want to make them understand, at least in the Sambia region, we are in charge, when it comes to this, there is nothing to hide, as long as you are willing to give up control of Seligant, the price is as you like, we can let you go to other cities to be mayors, the cities of our three major families, you choose, when the time comes, it is not more comfortable than coming in this land of right and wrong?"

"Oh, then I have a good idea. ”

The idea of becoming mayor of a different city is really novel.

"Tell me about it. ”

"I'm going to be the mayor of Oserin, for life!"

"Don't go too far!"

If you want your own position, should you let him give up his position as mayor of Oshelin and run to become a harbor mayor?

If you know how much I've gotten here, you won't think I'm overdone. ”

Joseph, an old man, is greedy for money, this is well known, Qingshu's bribes are exchanged for others to pretend to shirk, to him, no one refuses, not only gold, silver and jewelry, but also through some agreements with Qingshu under the premise that Seligent and others do not know, he also made himself hold a small part of the shares of the Aoki consortium through some agreements with Qingshu, don't underestimate these shares.

After the fall of Cthulhu, the Aoki Consortium quickly expanded to the entire Sambia region, and even the next Lahong has many branches, so it can be said that as long as the green tree does not fall, the next three generations of Joseph's family will only eat, drink and have fun, and still send a large amount of gold coins to the door every month, which makes Joseph a die-hard supporter of the green tree like the minister of the Ministry of Transportation, but one is in the light and the other is in the dark!

"It seems that Mr. Joseph is having eaten the scales and has an iron heart, okay, I will not persuade you anymore, but there is something I have to tell you all the time, before I came, I asked the astrologer in the family, how is Mr. Joseph's fortune recently, do you know what she said?

If you don't want to give up your position, there are naturally other ways for you to involuntarily give way.

"Sure enough, it's an upper-class person, this threat is so elegant, and the funny thing is that I recently asked an astrologer, and he told me that I will have more children and grandchildren in the future, and I will be blessed with longevity......"

For the pressure from the three major families, Joseph's face was as usual.

"Who said that?"

"Contemptible people, I recently taught myself the art of stargazing, and Mr. Joseph's fortune in the second half of his life is better than that of the three of you, I said this!

In the crowd, Kylot's voice was exceptionally loud.
