Chapter 304: Young Industrialist (2-in-1, Subscription Requested!! )
The rain stopped, the smog that enveloped London lifted, the sky was rarely sunny, and early in the morning, Fat Tangerine arrived at the grocery store.
"The cats in charge of monitoring the women's union reported, and Freya took action."
"Freya made a move?"
Ma Wei, who was enjoying breakfast, raised his head: "Do you mean, did Mr. Butler send someone to assassinate her?" ”
"Yes, just last night."
"It seems that last night's vision is really related to the Doomsday Party"
Ma Wei swallowed the bread and said with a serious expression: "The Doomsday Party and the Old God Forces signed a non-aggression pact decades ago, and now the Doomsday Party has taken action against Freya, the demon of the Supreme Four Pillars, undoubtedly taking the lead in breaking the agreement, and last night's vision is probably a sign of the collapse of the contract." ”
Freya believes in the old god of contract, Beryl, and the name tells what Belyl values most.
Even Beryl's sword is called the Pact Sword.
"The disappearance of the contract means that the forces of the old gods can take action against the Doomsday Party." "It's not a good thing for us, it's not a bad thing. ”
"Is the new experimental base in danger?"
"No, everything is normal, and the Doomsday Party has nothing to lose except for the deaths of the two transcendents responsible for the assassination of Freya."
"It shouldn't be."
Ma Wei hesitated: "Could it be that this incident is just a coincidence?" ”
"I have the same doubts." Fat Orange echoed: "Although this incident was caused by you, but the reason that ultimately led to the assassination of the Doomsday Party was the women's union established by Freya, at first I thought it was a conspiracy planned by the ancient god forces, but judging from the subsequent reactions of the old god forces, this is more like a coincidence." ”
"No, it's definitely not a coincidence."
Ma Wei said in a deep voice: "The ancient god forces can even bury history, let alone a small doomsday party? I'm more convinced that this is a trap they orchestrate! ”
"If it's not a coincidence that the contract disappears." Fat Orange thought for a while and said, "That is, Freya intends to lead the Doomsday Party to make a move, she knows the identity of the Doomsday Party, and she also knows the agreement between the King and the Doomsday Party, and uses this matter to break the contract. Does she know too much? ”
Not to mention, Freya simply knows the Doomsday Party too well!
The clues that Ma Wei and the others found after a long time of investigation are like transparent to Freya!
But why did she know the Doomsday Party's message?
Thinking about it, Ma Wei's body shook, and suddenly thought of someone: "The key role in this matter is not Freya, nor me, nor James Moorea!" It's the king, Rhodes IV! ”
"Rhodes IV?"
"That's right! It was Rhodes IV who did not agree to the establishment of a women's union, repeatedly blocked it, and finally chose to entrust the Doomsday Party to help, wanting to solve Freya, the culprit, in other words, in the eyes of the Doomsday Party, the existence of women's unions does not matter at all! It was the king who forced them to strike! ”
Ma Wei said quickly: "In this incident, Rhodes IV played a vital role! It may even have been planned by him! ”
"Why would he do something bad for the Doomsday Party?" Fat Orange was a little puzzled: "Isn't he in a gang with the Doomsday Party?" ”
"What if it's not the Doomsday Party who really signed a contract with him, but the forces of the Old Gods?"
"The power of the ancient gods? Are you saying that Rhodes IV is actually the eyeliner of the forces of the Old Gods, not the Doomsday Party?! ”
Ma Wei's face tightened, and his eyes were heavy: "It's just that there is this possibility, but if it is deduced according to my assumption, the doubts that the ancient god forces did not take action against the new experimental base will be solved, because the new experimental base of the Doomsday Party is under the supervision of Rhodes IV, rather than destroying it, it is better to stare at it under your nose!" ”
If that's the case.
Fat Orange lowered his head, stared at the table motionlessly, and said after a while: "This is terrible, the Doomsday Party was played around by Rhodes IV, and the problem was not found at all!" ”
"The most terrible thing is not the deceived Doomsday Party, but the Church." Ma Wei took a deep breath: "If Rhodes IV is corrupted by the Old Gods, what will the Kingdom of Windsor become?" I'm afraid that the city of London has been completely invaded by the forces of the old gods a long time ago! ”
From the signing of the contract to the breaking of the contract, the forces of the ancient gods dug a big hole for the Doomsday Party!
At times, Ma Wei suspected that he was a member of the forces of the Old Gods, and if it weren't for him, I am afraid that London would not have set off a mighty feminist movement.
"Whether or not Rhodes IV is a member of the ancient god forces is still uncertain, it was all my personal speculation just now, and there is no direct evidence."
That being said, both Mavi and Chubby felt that Rhodes IV was a member of the Old Gods' forces, and the reason was simple, and only in this way could Freya let go of the new experimental base perfectly.
The Doomsday Party is stealing the authority of the gods, this is not allowed, the forces of the ancient gods will not allow this kind of thing, but because of the contract, they can't do anything to the Doomsday Party, so they design to break the contract, after that, the forces of the old gods will be completely liberated, and they can destroy the base whenever they want!
If the new experimental base were destroyed last night, it would certainly delay the research of the Doomsday Party, but will the research be cancelled there?
No, it will definitely go on in another place!
In that case, why not let the Doomsday Party study it in front of itself?
Not only can the whole event look like an accident, but it can also know the progress of the research at all times, and when you want to do it, you can do it.
Pigs, of course, have to be fattened and then killed.
"I'm going to tighten the surveillance of the palace." Fat Orange suddenly said: "If Rhodes IV is a member of the Old God Forces, he will definitely have some contact with the Old God Forces, as long as you find out their contact information, you will have a chance to dig out more members of the Old God Forces hidden in London!" ”
"Is Friday reliable?"
"It's unreliable, but fortunately, Xiao Hei has recently made time to allow him to participate in the palace surveillance operation."
Ma Wei nodded, Friday is notoriously unreliable, it even dares to fight its own master!
Fortunately, with Xiao Hei's help, there must not be much of a problem.
Since learning that Fat Orange and Little Black can be resurrected, Ma Wei is very relieved that they will act, and they will not die anyway, at most one or two lives. It's not unacceptable.
"The rain has stopped."
Ma Wei looked at the blue sky outside the window: "But the sky hasn't dawned yet." ”
At night, Covent Royal Opera House.
"Your Majesty, the mission has failed."
Box 1, James Morea reported to Rhodes IV: "We cannot carry out the assassination of the Duke of Chevali. ”
"Can't carry out an assassination?" Rhodes IV cast his gaze: "Why? Give me a reason. ”
James Morea was just about to tell the truth, when he suddenly recalled the confidentiality contract he had made with Freya, and he could not reveal the identity of the other party, so he could only say it differently: "Because of some force majeure, we were attacked during the assassination, so we had to cancel the operation." ”
"Attack? Is it the same people who attacked the lab last time? ”
"That's them."
"Last night's vision must have something to do with them," Rhodes IV mused, "In other words, you won't assassinate Freya again, will you?" ”
"Not anytime soon." James Morea said truthfully: "We need to take a break for a while, and the recent series of troubles have cost us a lot of vitality, and I have to ask for help from headquarters. ”
"I hope that the headquarters can send more powerful helpers." Rhodes IV didn't ask any questions, sighed, and gave up the idea of assassinating Freya: "To be honest, I'm really relieved to hear that your assassination failed, even if I know it's wrong, but I still hope so." ”
"I can understand your feelings, Your Majesty."
"What are you going to do next?"
"Continue the study and wait for reinforcements from headquarters to arrive."
After a pause, James Morea added: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, regarding the matter of women's unions, you should let go of the policy, even if you don't support it, don't continue to block it, just let it be." ”
This is definitely from the bottom of my heart.
James Morea didn't want to see Rhodes IV continue to oppose Asmodeus, the supreme four, leading to irreparable consequences.
If it weren't for the fact that Freya's true identity could not be revealed, James Morea would have had a showdown long ago, so why rack his brains to make up lies like now?
"I see."
Surprisingly, Rhodes IV readily agreed: "Since even you say so, then I have nothing to insist on." ”
"It's great that you can figure it out."
The next day, when the sun was shining on the streets and London was once again bustling with activity, Mavi went to a market in Lambeth to give another speech, and the effect was very good, although many men were dissatisfied with Mavi's public support for women's empowerment, but he could not stand the amount of money Mavi gavey.
Yes, the Manstein Charitable Foundation set up a poverty fund to give a living allowance of 1 shilling a week to families earning less than 5 shillings a week, which was a gimmick, and Mavi promised that as soon as he became a member of parliament, he would turn the poverty fund into a fixed policy that would be effective in the long run.
Compared to the slums of East London, South London is relatively rich, and the Lambeth district on the River Thames is mostly inhabited by the social elite, whose weekly wages are much higher than 5 shillings, and there are very few poor people, and the Manstein Charitable Foundation can get a lot of praise for a small amount of money.
This is a bloody deal, the second prince and a group of staff members discussed for a long time before deciding to send money to the poor people, only in this way can they vote for Ma Wei without hesitation.
On the other hand, after learning about the Manstein Charitable Foundation, Councillor Donnal also responded by adding the establishment of a living allowance to his speech.
However, Councillor Donal's speech did not cause much of a sensation, first of all, Mavi took the lead in proposing the establishment of a poverty fund, and Councillor Donnal could only be regarded as following the trend.
Secondly, the public did not see the 'sincerity' of Congressman Donnal at all.
The money from the Manstein Charitable Foundation was actually distributed to the poor people, and the surrounding neighbors and residents were obvious to all, compared to the Donnell parliamentarians, who were all empty checks.
Who to believe, it seems needless to say.
Of course, Councillor Donnal also wanted to be as wealthy as the Manstein Charitable Foundation, but the eldest prince did not intend to compete with the second prince in this matter, and if they really compared, no one would benefit in the end.
However, due to the repeated pleas of the Donnal Councillor, and the fact that the eldest prince did not want to see Ma Wei elected as a member of Parliament, the Conservative Party still allocated a sum of money to support the election of the Donnal Councillor, but it was only a pitiful 10,000 gold pounds, which was more than a star and a half short of the 50,000 gold pounds prepared by the second prince.
As the election draws to a close, the scales of victory are tilting in Mavi's favour, and now in Lambeth, nay, all of London, there is no one who does not know the name of Nicholas von Manstein, a young philanthropist, a richest man in London, a wealthy financier, a young industrialist
Rumors about Marvey are becoming more and more exaggerated, and there are even rumors that if you see Nicholas von Manstein's carriage on the street, as long as you take off your hat and salute, 1 gold pound coin will be thrown out of the window, don't doubt it, it is the richest man in London who gives you a reward for politeness and gentlemanly demeanor.
Ma Wei didn't know how this baseless rumor spread, he only knew that when he went out now, no matter where he went, someone would take off his hat and bow, and his head would hang down to the ground.
Money, of course, is impossible to give.
Rumors must be stopped, otherwise they will intensify, and if Mavi really gives a reward of 1 gold pound, then the rumor is not a rumor, but a fact, and more people will follow suit.
Because Mawi did not give the bower a reward of 1 gold pound, two days later, rumors spread that Mavi was a liar, and some people attacked Nicolas von Manstein in the tavern, saying that he was a complete liar and that his campaign words were all deceptive, no different from those corrupt officials.
Rumors like these popped up overnight, and at first Ma Wei thought it was a new resentment from the unrewarded and slandered him, but later it turned out that the situation might not be what he thought.
"Damn it!"
The second prince of the Manstein Charitable Foundation threw the newspaper on the table and said angrily: "I spent so much money on the Daily Mail!" How dare they report bad things about Nicholas! ”
Ma Wei picked up the newspaper and saw that it was "Liar or Real?" Personal anatomy of Nicholas von Manstein! Such news.
"How can the Daily Mail do some of this stuff," Ma Wei shook his head with a smile.
"Don't think it's a trivial matter!" Stewart glared, "The power of newspapers should not be underestimated!" Someone must be trying to smear your reputation! It's the most critical time for the election, and you've outnumbered Councillor Donal, so just keep it up and win! ”
"The only guy who can buy the Daily Mail is Charles"
The second prince gritted his teeth and said, "Except for him, no one has such influence and financial resources!" ”
"There's nothing to be angry about, Your Highness."
"Aren't you in a hurry?"
"Why hurry?"
Ma Wei said lightly: "This is a trick used by His Royal Highness the eldest prince, it seems to be very strong, but in fact it is full of flaws, we only need to use the influence of the church to easily resolve this crisis." ”
"The Church. The bishop of the district of Kolambeth was in favor of the Great Prince. ”
"Is Bishop Fowler right? I want him to stir up believers to speak out against me, if he does."
Ma Wei smiled slightly:
"I'll be able to get rid of him."
