Luke and Viscount Iscollan sat down at the circular conference table, each with their own expressions on the faces of the eight current members of the Council in Angry Waves.

All three members of the capitalist faction signed an indictment against the City Alchemist Association; The two remaining members of the establishment had heavy expressions and some confusion about the future.

On the side of the Technocratic Councillor, Mrs. Mihir had already joined the Innovation Society founded by Inspector Meteor. She thinks she is already the eldest princess, and after this big victory, her future is bright.

Councillor Van Lunding was pale, not knowing if he would be able to survive the night.

After seeing the current situation in the council, Speaker Grover said to Luke, "Detective Meteor, although you have created the current situation in Angry Waves City, I don't think Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess wants to see a big chaos in Angry Waves City. Let's stop in time...... For the good of all of us, and for the good of the Empire. ”

Luke didn't expect that he had forced the palace general, and Speaker Grover even thought that he could get out of the way.

"Your Excellency, I've been in Angry Waves for a while, and this is the first time I've met you. I admire your knowledge, and the city of Angry Waves has become a shining jewel in the world under your rule.

In today's situation, I only gave a small push, but the fundamental problem is still with the City Alchemist Association. If it weren't for the fact that some people were too greedy and endless, there would be no predicament that the City Alchemist Association is facing now.

I think professional people still need professional people to do it. The funds of the City Alchemist Association need a special financial organization to help you manage them, and all revenues and expenditures will be open and transparent, so that individual corruption will be eliminated, and every mark will be used where it should be used. ”

The negotiations officially began, and as soon as Luke came up, he stabbed the heart of the City Alchemist Association. After receiving the financial freedom of the Alchemist Association, all scientific research institutions under the jurisdiction of the Association were completely separated. The association was left with the function of coordinating and organizing scientific research, which greatly reduced its influence in the city.

Grover, of course, wouldn't just be slaughtered.

"No, scientific research is very private, and the association has its own finances to ensure that our research is not known to outsiders through procurement and other forms.

Detective Meteorite, don't fight the idea of the City Alchemist Association, I won't retreat from this. ”

Luke knew that the knife was a bit harsh, so he turned in other directions.

"We'll leave that for later. I have been appointed by Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess to take up my post in the Haijiao District of Angry Waves City this time, and I hope to make a political achievement that will add some color to my resume.

It's not too much to double the tax revenue in Raging Waves. ”

Grover said coldly, "The collection of taxes has nothing to do with your secret intelligence bureau. ”

"Maybe Your Majesty will transfer me to the Imperial Tax Department as soon as he is pleased? The financial and taxation agencies are poor, unlike now that I have to beware of being plotted every day. ”

A tax increase, and a doubling of it, will definitely touch the interests of many people. But now that he is ready to throw in the towel, Grover is ready to cut the meat.

"Okay...... If the empire really needs money now, Angry Waves City will definitely share your Majesty's worries. In the future, the amount of taxes handed over to the empire by Angry Waves City will be doubled, so you can do it! ”

Luke said: "The fiscal and tax will be doubled from this year onwards, and the arrears will be paid. ”

Hearing that it was going to be doubled this year, Grover said angrily: "Where am I going to get you so much tax?" ”

"That's your problem, I only care about my political performance!"

Luke felt that he was swaggering and deceiving the eldest princess Agatha, and he should also get some benefits for her, so that he could continue to earn a living in Angry Waves City in the future.

Since Grover was ready to cut the meat, he didn't care about cutting it so much.

"Okay, the tax owed this year will be paid by Angry Waves City. Can we put an end to the farce outside? ”

"I just got the news that the City Alchemists Association has promised to return the money invested in the hydrogen airship to the investors," Luke said. If the Alchemist Guild doesn't pay them, I won't be able to get rid of them.

Your Excellency, do you have any money? ”

"I've promised to pay more taxes, don't be insatiable."

"Paying taxes is the obligation of Angry Waves City, how can it become that I am insatiable, and the money is not given to me. This incident was caused by the financial fraud of the City Alchemist Association, and I just wanted to help. Luke took out his pocket watch and looked at it: "Your Excellency, it's three o'clock in the afternoon, and your time is running out." The demonstrators outside had not eaten for a day, and they were agitated. In the evening, they discover that they have been deceived by the City Alchemist Guild.

No one can prevent disaster from happening.

Over there in the city court, the lawsuits against the City Alchemist Association have been piled up, and anything that happens in Angry Waves City is your responsibility!

Is it the upper gallows? Or take my help? ”

Before Grover could answer, Congressman Van Lunding said, "We hope that the Inspector can help us." ”

Luke looked at Grover.

Grover had no choice but to say, "How are you going to help us?" ”

"Of course, I'm lending you money......," Luke said with a smile, "I've already negotiated with most of the wealthy merchants in the city, and they are willing to hold off on recovering their investment funds, and are willing to lend money to the City Alchemist Association to tide over this difficult time." ”

"Condition!"

"It's simple...... In the future, the right to use the patent of the City Alchemist Association will be directly negotiated between the merchant and the patent owner. The City Alchemist Guild can assist, but cannot make any decisions from it. ”

Grover didn't want to refuse on the spot: "The City Alchemist Association will not give up this power, and we want to protect the patent security of its members." ”

"Are you trying to protect the patent security of the members of the association, or are you trying to monopolize patents and choke businessmen around the neck of licensing?" Luke singled out Grover's intentions: "Angry Waves is an open and free market, and the overlord clause of the City Alchemist Guild's patents has always been a cancer of the free market.

The merchants I invited are now afraid to leave Councilor Ibur's mansion, which shows how much they fear the City Alchemist Guild. In this negotiation, the City Alchemist Association must agree to this condition, and there is no room for negotiation. ”

Mrs. Mihir said at this time: "Your Excellency, my husband has always opposed the licensing of patents for the monopoly members of the City Alchemist Association, but the resources owned by the City Alchemist Association have made him have to agree to entrust the patent to the Association.

Many members of the association have the same ideas as my husband.

I understand that the original idea of the association was to protect our patents from infringement, but now the association has done a lot of things that make everyone unhappy with this authorization.

I agree with Detective Meteor's suggestion that the Guild only plays an auxiliary role in granting patents, and no longer has decision-making power. ”

The other three capitalist parliamentarians also echoed Mrs. Michiel.

Councillor Van Lunding, who was afraid of being hanged to quell the anger of the public, also advised: "Speaker, the businessmen have helped us this time, and we should return our goodwill......

Grover glared at Van Lunding.

If the problem could be solved with Van Lunding's life, he would rather give up a councillor than agree to this condition.

But the matter has been clarified, and not agreeing is not only to push the merchant to the side of the falling star, but there may also be big problems within the Alchemist Association.

"Well, I agree!" Grover replied helplessly: "From today onwards, the City Alchemist Association will no longer interfere with the grant of patents, and the user and the owner will negotiate and settle it on their own." ”

After agreeing to this condition, Grover seemed to be drained of all his sharpness.

Although this condition does not directly take away all the power of the city alchemist association like taking away the finances, it also smashes on the backbone of the alchemist association. Without the patent authorization, the Alchemist Guild would become a level of the city merchants, and what they said would not be so effective in the future.

And there is also a big loss of financial resources.

The three capitalist legislators were all very excited. Without the City Alchemist Association as an obstacle, their royalties will definitely be reduced in the future, and they will not be blackmailed by the Alchemist Association.

It feels like turning over to be the master.

Looking at Detective Meteorite again, the eyes of the three people were like looking at the father of the gold master.

Grover agreed to this most important condition, much to Luke's relief. He was also afraid that Grover would not let go, and everyone would finish it together.

Although it is not enough to make the rich merchants of the city immediately fall to their side, the intimacy is definitely rising, and there must be many more ways to expand the field of trade in the future.

When everyone makes money together, it is time to become a family.

Luke then stated his last condition: to appoint Viscount Iscollan as the city's chief of security, replacing Councillor Virgil as the new councillor of the Raging Waves.

Grover still wants to make a final struggle: "I think the terms I agreed to carry enough weight. Viscount Iscoran was too junior to take on such a heavy role. ”

Luke laughed and said, "Angry Waves City doesn't talk about qualifications, only ability. I think that with Viscount Iscoran's ability, he is competent enough to serve the duties of the city's security chief, and he is also enough to enter the city council to serve all the citizens of the city.

Of course...... This is the government affairs of Angry Waves City, and it is inconvenient for me to interfere.

Now vote.

If you agree with my appointment, please raise your hand! ”

Luke stressed that this was his "appointment" and looked at the MPs.

Viscount Iscoran must obtain the consent of more than half of the councillors in order to become the head of the city's security, and two-thirds of the councillors must vote to become a councillor.

Luke left the choice to the MPs.

Under his gaze, Ibur and Mrs. Mihir were the first to raise their hands...... Two votes.

The two capitalist legislators then raised their hands, as their reward for the Meteorite Detective...... Two votes.

Luke looked at the two establishment lawmakers.

The two councillors hesitated, but they both raised their hands. Today, the potential field of the Meteorite Detective is too strong, and the City Alchemist Association is completely defeated. After this negotiation, Detective Meteor is bound to become a pivotal figure in Angry Waves.

The sky in Raging Waves has changed.

The Meteorite Inspector personally said that he would appoint a member of parliament, which means that he is going to decide this position. What happens if you don't approve...... Congressman Virgil seems to be a good example.

Two more votes.

Viscount Iscoran received six votes in favor of the council.

Luke smiled with satisfaction, "Speaker Grover, you see...... Viscount Iscoran became a city councillor and was expected by all.

Councillor Iscoran, please take your seat. We need to seize the time to discuss how to coordinate all parties to get the demonstrators home quickly. ”

Viscount Iscollan stood up and saluted Luke, then strode over to the seat of the former Frigil Councillor and sat down. The rare presence of all nine members of the Angry Waves Council is all present, and the three small triangles form a large triangle, symbolizing tolerance and stability.

Luke was given a seat in each of the three triangles, forming a separate triangle to complete the division of power in the city of the Furious Waves.

And then the rest was pretty easy.

As long as the money is available, the demonstrators can be sent home.

The City Alchemists Association first used its own cash to return the investment funds of retail investors. As soon as the money was distributed, the mood of the demonstrators was calmed.

The night was spent peacefully.

The next day, the merchant borrowed money one after another. Major newspapers are reporting on the incident, so that people can rest assured that they have plenty of money.

The return of the investment money is proceeding in an orderly manner.

For ordinary citizens, the city of the Angry Waves is still the City of the Angry Waves, and there seems to be no change in the prosperity. But for those who have a certain status, Angry Waves City is no longer the Angry Waves City it used to be.

Its original old system seemed to be unbreakable, but Detective Meteorite had been in office for less than half a year in the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau before he smashed it to pieces. A new order is being established, and the Innovation Society, with Inspector Meteor as its executive officer, has attracted a large number of new members to join after the financial fraud of the City Alchemist Association.

The members of the old system licked their wounds and rallied around Speaker Grover. They watched the growth of the Innovation Society quietly on the sidelines, thinking about how to regain what was lost.

The struggle in Angry Waves is not over.

Jomington said goodbye to Grover after "complete" the mission, and there was no need for him to stay in Raging Waves.

As he was about to board the return airship, Jomington said to Grover, "This time I go back, and I'll report everything Meteorite did in Raging Waves to Shousuke-sama. We must reassess this adversary...... I have a hunch that the eldest princess will definitely transfer the meteorite back to the imperial capital, and he will be a big trouble for Lord Shousuke. ”

Floating in the air, Grover asked, "What should we do?" The people of Angry Waves are now panicking, and many people have joined the Meteorite Innovation Society. We've lost so much that if we don't keep the meteorite at bay, we'll soon lose the city entirely. ”

"Wait for Shousuke's reply, don't provoke the Falling Star now. In terms of strategy, we are not his opponents, and it is easy for him to seize weaknesses when he makes more mistakes.

The fleet of the Saxon engineering will blockade the port of Cape. Give full play to our advantages at sea, prevent him from doing more with Cape Harbor, and divert all his attention to the sea.

Delay the time first, the eldest princess will not put such a person in the Angry Waves City for a long time, his real stage is in the imperial capital! ”
