Chapter 124: Shadow of Europa (6)
(Thanks to "Hy and HTY" for the reward)
"Yes, yes, if you want to restore the glory of Europa, you have to oust the insatiable capitalists, who are constantly opening up immigration for cheap labor, bringing in some low-quality people, who are playing with the financial industry in pursuit of greater profits, pushing the risk to the limit, these fat cats: The big capitalists) are dazzled by the rights given by money, shamelessly evade taxes and even demand tax cuts from the state, and are not willing to assume social responsibilities at all, they have become a greedy class (greedocracy), and some capitalists even think that they are the masters of the universe!"
Prince Amidio shook the reins, and he rode to the left of Napoleon VII, speaking out loud, the beautiful feathers of his black top hat shaking in the cold wind, and the tall, muscular brown thoroughbred snorted and took small steps, as if he was ready to rush forward at any moment.
"It seems that His Highness Amidio is still haunted by the loss to Joseph Arman!" Prince Akeem said with a smile as he looked down at Prince Armedeo.
"If you lose, you don't have strength, there's nothing to dwell on, I'm just tired of these uneducated capitalists, they only talk about how to make money, talk about charity, or what skills they have acquired, like they want to show off what they compare, no matter how rich they are, they can't become nobles, not because they are born, but because they never want to learn how to be responsible for their people, their country, and humanity!" Prince Amidio said with a hint of disdain.
"Faithless neoliberalism (note 1) has led to growing social inequality, especially in the information age, when a few people can use money to turn a worthless company into a multi-billion dollar enterprise, and yet today, the average male worker in Europe is not as earning as the workers in 1979, and the wages of those at the bottom of society have fallen even more, and the greed of Scrutge (Dickens's miser) is beyond what society can bear! Now the time has come for a revolution!" said Napoleon VII with a nod.
"It's no wonder that the Chosen One system will activate the 'Seven Sins Sect Mission' and let humanity enter the second stage of the Doomsday Judgment, and this world is indeed in trouble now. I wonder if we're robbing the thirty-fourth Chosen One of the Thirty-fourth Degrees of Destiny by doing so, and help him judge the lost!" Prince Agem stopped his horse by reining in the reins, and he took off his handmade shotgun from his back and aimed it at a red deer grazing on the hillside, the silver guard of the shotgun had delicate patterns, and the shiny walnut butt also had fine lines for easy grasping, this was a traditional Beretta double-barreled shotgun, it was so old that it didn't even have a scope.
Some of the hunters continued to chase the nearby herd of deer running into the forest, while others stopped.
Napoleon VII also stopped, and he said with a smile: "This distance is a bit far." After a pause, he said again: "I don't know if the thirty-fourth-level Chosen One will be fooled by this bureau we have arranged." ”
Prince Amidio also stopped, he shrugged his shoulders as he watched Akim aim, and said, "I bet you, this shot will definitely hit! And the thirty-fourth Chosen One will definitely go to Asgard...... Who can resist the temptation of an artifact, and when he can only get it?"
Napoleon VII turned his head to look at Amidio, shook his head and said: "I don't think it's that easy, I have observed the top five hundred in the past two years, but I haven't found any suspicious people...... This is a very good person who is very good at hiding and patient......"
Prince Amidio winked at Napoleon VII and said, "Then place your bets! ”
At this time, Prince Agem, who had been aiming for a long time, put down his shotgun, shook his head and said, "It's really too far. ”
Athena Olisses, who caught up from behind, raised her shotgun, took aim at random, and pulled the trigger directly, and the sound of a gunshot alarmed the entire forest and grassland, and countless birds rose from the forest not far away. The red deer standing on the hillside also pricked up its ears and looked warily in the direction where Napoleon VII was standing.
Athena Olisses put down her shotgun and put it on her shoulder again, she didn't look at the red deer and said lightly, "Bet not to get involved with me." ”
Amidio smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Athena, we didn't mean to respect you. ”
Napoleon VII looked at the red deer still standing on the hillside, and said with a smile: "I'll just say it's a little far." ”
However, at this time, the red deer staggered to its knees, Athena Olisses pulled the reins and looked in the direction of Napoleon VII and Amidio, and her white thoroughbred also turned its head to look at Napoleon VII very spiritually, and looked at the three of them for a moment before she said: "I'm not interested in politics, so don't call me here for the next party like this! And I would like to advise you, what you have to do is not only dangerous, if the media and Ou Yu know about it, you should not drag the whole nobles into the water!"
Napoleon VII's face was not embarrassed, he calmly looked at Athena Olisses and said indifferently: "Athena, although my mother has always taught me to be polite as a nobleman, not to abuse power, and to be at peace with what happens, but as a nobleman, we have been able to continue to this day, not because of these superficial elegance and ranks, but because of the 'noble' values based on family and social unity..... One of my cousins works as an international volunteer, another at the International Red Cross, and my younger sister Dava is still in college, but she has already decided that she wants to do philanthropy in Africa..... If it weren't for the fact that things got out of hand, we would also like to indulge in the aesthetic realms of wine and art, and we never tweet or Instagram like the nouveau riche, because we know that such a life is not worth showing off.... As an aristocracy, you must play the role of leading the people, and now this society has been so eroded that it is impossible to even disguise it, once the wave of economic recession hits, it is not only us who will suffer, all classes will be affected, especially the middle and lower classes, if we do not take the initiative to puncture the illusory bubble of neo-liberal ideas, when the real revolution breaks out, the whole of Europe will fall into irretrievable recession!"
The surrounding aristocrats applauded Napoleon VII's oratorical lines, and a sense of pride and mission appeared on their faces.
"Isn't it for the restoration of the monarchy?" said Athena Olisses as she clamped her spurs, and the tall white thoroughbred raised her head and neighed and ran forward. The group of people who remained in place looked at each other.
Napoleon looked again at the red deer that had fallen on the hillside, and several hounds were running wildly towards the wounded red deer, his face slightly thoughtful.
Akim put his shotgun on his back and said, "Oh! Athena, though she is not very old, has a hot temper like a bomb, and you will be able to bear it in the future!"
"The point is that you haven't necessarily beaten it yet!" Amidio teased casually.
Napoleon VII ignored the ridicule and whispered: "We have to speed up the pace, we can't let Ou Yu detect the clues, and the Germans and the Chosen One can't be trusted by the Homeland and the Alliance of the Free Front." ”
"I'm always ready here. Akim replied solemnly.
"I don't have a problem here. Prince Amidio said.
Prince Pierre Casirachi of Morocco also said: "Just wait for you to set a date." ”
A number of members of the Rosicrucian Society spoke out.
Napoleon VII whispered: "Then we will be on Christmas Eve...... This operation is called Operation Holy Cross..... For God's sake, for Europa!"
The crowd caressed their hearts and whispered, "For God, for Europa!"

On November 10, 2020, Cheng Mo had been spying on Stern King for two days, but the tall, thin man with curly hair barely spoke in the homestay, and he had very few phone calls.
It was another fruitless night, but Cheng Mo was not anxious at all, and when he saw Stern King turn off the computer and go to bed, he turned on the video recording function and got up to wash his face and brush his teeth.
Waiting for Cheng Mo to wash his face and brush his teeth, it happened that Bai Xiuxiu and Xie Minyun also came back from outside, and the two of them didn't do anything else in the past two days, Bai Xiuxiu had been using the "Time Rift" skill to try to enter the "Moravian Brotherhood" and find clues about Asgard, Xie Minyun was outside looking at Bai Xiuxiu's body and answering her.
However, the "Moravian Brotherhood" is heavily guarded, and the place is extraordinarily large, and Bai Xiuxiu must evacuate in time every time there is no blue, otherwise there is a risk of being discovered again, so there is only enough time to explore a small area at a time.
Seeing Bai Xiuxiu's somewhat tired face, Cheng Mo knew that she had also returned in vain. Bai Xiuxiu threw the handbag on the bed, then half-lay on the soft bed and asked, "How is it?
Xie Minyun went to the bathroom to change into pajamas.
Cheng Mo shook his head, "No, Stern King is basically outside, and when he returns to the B&B, in addition to drinking online, he sleeps ......"
"What is he doing online?" Bai Xiuxiu asked.
Cheng Mo hesitated for a moment and said, "Uh..... The main thing is to watch some unsightly videos on the film network!"
Suddenly, there was a subtle silence in the cramped room......
