Chapter 702: Common Interests

For Wilson and others, preventing Green from ascending to the throne is the bottom line they must insist on, and once Green conquers the empire, his ascension to the throne will be a foregone conclusion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Carefully combing through this logical relationship has become a proposition that Green cannot be allowed to conquer the empire, of course, there is another possibility.

That is, after Green conquered the empire, he did not serve as the general speaker, and there is only one possibility for this to happen, and that is his death.

Death in war may seem like a common thing, but it is only for the vanguard soldiers who charge the front lines.

Green is the commander in command of the army, and it is almost impossible for him to die on the battlefield unless the entire army is destroyed, and this is to be achieved.

The only way to let him die an unnatural death, that is, to send assassins to assassinate Green, Wilson and the others carefully considered the feasibility of this.

"If the current momentum continues, in half a year at most, Green will capture the royal capital, and in the meantime Speaker Taaffe is still alive, what will he think of this if his son has an accident?

"Of course, you can also choose to assassinate Speaker Taaffe at the same time, so if the father and son, who are national heroes, die one after another in a short period of time, what will the people in the country think?

Lin Ye directly said a possibility that Wilson and others had hidden in their hearts and had not yet put into practice, and analyzed it in depth.

"Therefore, the path of assassination will not work, and the only way to prevent Green from ascending to the throne is to prevent him from conquering the empire and returning in vain, so that not only will he not accumulate enough prestige, but he will also be resented by the people due to the attrition of the expedition, which is the best outcome for you. ā€

Lin Ye put the problem directly on the table, he was naturally sure that he was safe, so he dared to appear here in a grand manner.

Otherwise, he would never have done such a stupid thing as being sent to the door in vain, and he patiently examined the changes in the expressions of Wilson and the others.

"This should be said to be the best result for you, Lord Duke, even if he returns in vain, it is his own business, for us it is just not to make the situation worse, but there is no substantial benefit, Lord Duke, don't forget, we are all businessmen. ā€

Wilson shook his head, although Lin Ye was very reasonable, he couldn't discuss it further with the young man just because of this.

Because he knew that not only did he not want Green to be the Speaker, but the Duke of the Far East also did not want Green to continue the expedition.

On the premise that two people have a common purpose, it is necessary to find common ground in the interests of both parties, and the question is only in whose hands the initiative is.

"So we have reached a consensus, that is, the expeditionary force can not go on any longer, and we will start other discussions around this consensus, such as what I can provide to you, and what you can provide to me, so that it will be more effective, right?"

Lin Ye smiled lightly, although he was alone, he had enough chips in his hands, as long as he had enough chips and courage.

It's like a gambler sitting at a table, no matter how many opponents he has, he has only one thing to do, and that is to kill the whole game with his chips.

"It seems that the Duke is a very smart man, as rumored, and it is not a pleasant thing to talk about business with a smart man, because a smart man is too shrewd and always does not let himself suffer, and if you don't suffer a loss, Lord Duke, then I am afraid that we will not get the desired benefits. ā€

Wilson sighed, he is the spokesman of the Big Three, and his opinion represents the opinion of Chamberlain and George, advancing and retreating together.

"If we don't want to suffer, why don't we let Speaker Taaffe suffer a little loss? He is so old, and he has been the Speaker General for so many years, there must be magnanimity, I don't think he will mind if he suffers a small loss, and I just brought a big gift to the three of them. ā€

Lin Ye looked at Wilson, Chamberlain, and George with a smile, and he kept examining the changes in the expressions of the three of them, and gained a lot.

"I hope that the gift of Lord Duke will not disappoint us, only by making friends, can we give Lord Duke a gift in line with your status, but I don't know what Lord Duke wants us to do, we are soft-spoken in the Senate, and many things are not so easy to carry out. ā€

Wilson patiently waited for Lin Ye to put forward his conditions and requirements, and only by letting the young man expose his hole cards first could he take the initiative.

"Your Excellency is really modest, if you talk about things, don't be in a hurry, you have to talk slowly, I haven't had a good meal all the way over, I'm hungry, don't you want to entertain me with these scraps? ā€

Lin Ye was not in a hurry to discuss business with Wilson and the others, but slowly lost patience with him, he looked at the table full of scraps and knocked his fingers.

"Since the Duke wants to make friends with us, of course we must entertain the Duke with the etiquette of treating friends, wait a while, and soon prepare a brand new banquet for the Duke and you, you will definitely not be disappointed, go upstairs, it is the real paradise." ā€

Wilson pointed upwards and motioned for Lin Ye to go with them to the top of the tower, which was level with the Freedom Tower, and they were only in the middle.

There were several floors above the head, but there were so few people who arrived there that no one knew what was inside.

Lin Ye smiled and went up the stairs with them, frank and open, no one refused, and suddenly a lightning bolt crossed the night sky outside the window.

"Is there the rainy season here? It's a bit turbulent, I don't know how long it will last. ā€

Lin Ye glanced outside as he passed by the window, but soon quickened his pace and disappeared into the stairwell, thunder falling with a roar.

At the same time, at the Freedom Tower, Speaker Netaf has been overlooking the city for a long time.

"Are you so anxious to bring me down, since you are so thirsty, then give you a chance, I hope you can take advantage of it, if you don't catch it, the consequences are not something you can bear, Green, I will pave the way for you. ā€

Speaker Taaff looked at the sky to the north, where Green was heading out.

With a roar of thunder, the rain finally fell.
