Chapter 69: A Natural Partner
According to a conspiracy between the Justice Society and the Warburgs, the future Denver would become a limited, independent special district, governed and protected by White Rock, while also enjoying independent tax and judicial privileges.
The details need to be further discussed, but in principle, Denver will join the Indian Union system, which is already a certainty.
The Denver Militia was not immediately disbanded, but was divided into two parts, one to the north, ready to resist Stephen Carney's invasion, and the other to be deployed on the southern front to defend against the Texas offensive.
The Warburgs had gained a great deal from this conspiracy, and together with the Lorchen Commercial Bank, they would become the only commercial banks in the Indian Union-controlled area, as well as the right to mine, transport, open factories, and other trade.
After the British evacuated, the British Northwest Company left a large amount of real estate in Oregon, which was confiscated by White Rock and disposed of at a discounted price to the Warburgs.
In addition, the Warburgs have also completed a magnificent transition from a purely commercial family to a political family, and in the newly formed Denver District, the Warburgs will have a place in the judicial, legislative, and executive systems, and the financial system of the future Indian Union will also open the door to this Jewish family.
Since it sold Denver to White Rock, White Rock certainly doesn't mind reselling Denver to it one more time.
In this back and forth, a win-win situation for Indians and Jews, a win-win for Denver and White Rock, and a win-win for the Warburgs and the Justice Society!
……
The dinner is scheduled to officially start at 8 o'clock in the evening.
As the bell rang crisply, the grand symphony orchestra played "On the Mississippi River." This is a glorious piece composed by Franz Liszt, the king of the piano, for the great White Rock City after hearing the story of the Indians, for which the scalp ambassador made a special trip to Hungary and awarded Liszt a pure gold medal of friendship.
The guests were in their places, and the girls in grand evening dresses stood beside the male guests like ladies, holding the hands of the gentlemen, proud like white swans one by one.
"Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the Warburg family, I welcome you to this feast......"
The lights in the hall dimmed at the right time, and only on the high platform in front of them, a spotlight shone on the Denver spokesperson of the Warburg family.
The 39-year-old Sith Warburg, with bright blond hair, broad shoulders and a tall body, looks low-key and luxurious, majestic and steady under the light.
Probably this is the elegant heritage from the old Jewish family, right?
In his few words, there is a confident and modest temperament; Between gestures, it makes people feel friendly and respectful.
It was an official appearance of a non-Indian ethnic group in Indian politics, and Sith Warburg's performance was perfect.
"—It's a feast of love, but it's also a feast of compassion!"
Sith Warburg had a copy of the Old Testament in his hand, turned it to the middle page, and read it in a subdued tone:
- The Lord said, "Love is long-suffering and kind; Love is not envy, love is not boasting, it is not arrogant, it does not do anything shy, it does not seek its own good, it does not become quick to anger, it does not count the wickedness of men, it does not like unrighteousness, but it loves the truth. Bear all things, believe all things, hope all things, endure all things; Love never ends! ”
While Sith Warburg was intently reading the Old Testament, Arvada Jankulovsky searched the field with the rest of his eyes. Among so many shining white arms, he didn't find the one he needed.
It's the meeting of the Warburg family and White Rock, and the top feast of Denver's handover, Helena...... She could only wait outside the door, not even qualified to take a look.
"—Out of love and mercy, the Lord guides us on the path of peace and glory."
Sith Warburg put away the Old Testament in his hand and handed him to the servant behind him. Then he continued:
"—Out of justice and goodness, the great Lord of White Rock and the Warburg family have decided to follow the Lord's teachings and bring peace and grace to Denver, to set an example for the world to resolve disputes, and to seek eternal prosperity and prosperity for the people! From now on, justice and goodness will come to this barren land, and shepherds will be able to graze their cattle and sheep quietly. ”
"—Here, allow me to invite my friend, Mr. Arvada Jankulovsky, to come among us, and he will bring us news of victory!"
……
Thunderous applause.
At the invitation of Sith Warburg, Arvada Jankulovsky walked along the blue carpet to the accompaniment of the band's sudden passion.
He's not an unscrupulous reckless man, it's just that there is no one in this world who makes him need to deal with it carefully.
He held a pistol in his hand, and in full view of everyone, he picked it up with his index finger and spun it merrily, like a paper windmill in the hand of a happy child.
"Hi good evening, everyone!" Arvada Yankulovsky said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I don't have any bullets in my gun, because, tonight in Denver, I won't allow any other disturbances than love and peace!"
The crowd erupted in a low chuckle.
Adava-Jankulovsky's gun stopped spinning, he disassembled it with great skill, and threw the parts into the trash can next to the table.
After completing this symbolic gesture, he smiled and said, "I have nothing else to say, I just want to reaffirm that from now on, all Denver and Indian Union trade will no longer be taxed!" The property and life safety of all will be protected by the powerful army of White Rock City! ”
"And I, on behalf of White Rock City, will serve you!"
"Alright, let the music play and celebrate this great occasion!"
……
As the music played, Sith Warburg and Arvada Yankulovsky stood together, holding hands, holding them high, smiling at the falling gold ribbons.
It's like a wedding.
Capital and power, they are the most like-minded companions.
On the white wall of the Warburg Hotel, the words 'Love and Peace' are spelled out with countless gas lamps. Tonight in Denver, there is no room for no love, and there is no peace for the Justice Society and the Warburg family to provide a guarantee.
The chorus harmonies soared in the night sky, proclaiming God's love for Denver, and he poured his compassionate gaze on it.
In the dead of night, there was silence in Smith Manor, and occasionally a dog barked, but with the sound of a gunshot, the dog fell silent obediently.
The long wagons of the St. Clares family also set out in the night for the east, and their purpose was Richmond. Unlike the Warburgs, who were determined to put down roots in Denver, the Anglo-Saxon aristocracy from Scotland, which still had a large base in Richmond, had other options that seemed better.
Denver, no gunsmoke, no artillery fire.
The Red Cloud Army, stationed 5 kilometers north of Denver, spent a calm night.
……
Arvada Jankulovsky made a big splash at the dinner party, dancing song after song with ladies from all over the world.
After the feast, he left the place along the special passageway, got into the carriage under the protection of the layers, and stayed in the splendid town hall.
He didn't get a chance to see Helena again, and he didn't think about meeting her outside the ball door again.
Helena is right, the poor and the rich are people of two worlds.
Arvada Yankulovsky didn't sleep all night, and in the second half of the night he couldn't help but have a strange thought in his mind - if a billionaire was black, would he be able to make others kneel in front of him?
Capital and power have no skin color, no gender, they are natural partners!
