Chapter Seventy-One: I Want to Cry Without Tears
Outside the city of Sri Lanka, because of a deer slave, the bloody case of the southern city security brigade and a human mercenary group beating was not far and wide. Even if it is handled properly, the city defenders on the city wall who serve as mallets day after day are not blind, and everyone can see it clearly. No one gave them a gag order, so it is understandable that the news spread overnight.
As in the past, whenever there is any current event or news related to Captain Cao, it will immediately cause a huge sensation in Sri Lanka, and this time is no exception.
The impact is always two negatives, both positive and negative.
Especially when the news spread that more than 100 slaves were bought by Captain Cao "with a lot of money" and directly took off their slave hats, the sensation of public opinion reached the highest point.
Some people were amazed by Captain Cao's generosity and selflessness, others were amazed by the good fortune of those orc slaves, and some people criticized Captain Cao as incomplete.
There was such a bloody conflict with the mercenary guards of the human caravanserais, and even more than half of the opponent's people were directly killed on the spot. In this era of peace, it is impossible not to attract the attention of society.
"This is not the law enforcement method that the official servants of the Reich should have! This is discrediting the image of the Reich! They are not the public servants of the Reich! They are just a group of thugs! A bunch of hooligans! A street gang that can't get on the table!" As soon as he learned the news, Archduke Heinsohne issued a strong condemnation.
"I feel guilty and repentant for the temple of Mount Auburn for raising such a priest, whose duty is to spread the glory of the beast gods, not to play with bandits and men everywhere. I want to cut my own hands to the dust, for they once baptized this bandit who violated the glory of the beast god. His Majesty Stern also let out a heartbroken sigh at the first time, and his exclamation was sprinkled on the city of Sri Lanka through the mouths of the temple priests and the temple knights.
Captain Cao, who was accustomed to hob knives, scoffed at these statements, and when Prince Raul came to inquire on behalf of his father in private, all he saw was Captain Cao's posture of "who is afraid of fighting with his life".
Although it is not known why such a bloody event suddenly appeared. But Pedro still stood firmly behind Captain Cao. After the storm of public opinion set off by the two powerful figures of the Rhine tribe, Pedro also delivered a speech at the right time, the theme of which is called "I Have a Dream".
"An active and noble man cannot bear to see his fellow citizens accept the poison of human slave masters. This is not sin, but a supreme state of understanding the doctrine of divine communication. We all know that the vision of the beast god has always been full of wisdom, and the captain of the security brigade in the southern city of Sri Lanka, Cao, is a devout disciple who has always lived by our side. ”
"Extraordinary times require extraordinary means, as is the case with the original trauma of the Empire, and at least I personally do not believe that it is wrong to solve problems by force. On what basis is we able to stand today in a peaceful South? the blood of our compatriots and enemies! even the most upright knights. The sword in his hand is also stained with blood when necessary, and if it is working for a higher purpose, it is the force of justice. Filthy blood will sharpen out a sharp light that will make the wicked even more terrifying!"
His Majesty Pedro's soulful speech won countless flowers and applause, and the sound of thumping his chest like a landslide and tsunami beneath the Bernabeu Palace. This kind of large-scale speech is undoubtedly directly several notches higher than Heinsohn and Stern. And the two factions divided into public opinion also occupy an absolute advantage on the side of praise.
If it weren't for the fact that what Captain Cao had done before was obvious to all, and the changes produced were big enough and covered a wide enough area, what Pedro said would be completely untenable.
But Captain Cao has this series of conditions. Pedro was also happy to act as a-stirring stick, using almost rogue means to silence the opposition. What if the Rhine has the heart to rectify Captain Cao? His mass base behind Sri Lanka is definitely not a joke, and this is also a kind of strength.
Moreover, the representatives of the two major families, who are the other major protagonists of the incident, have not farted half-ass, so what qualifications do the others have to make irresponsible remarks? In the end, the incident developed into a completely different direction. It was in Sri Lanka that a wave of resistance to the slave trade was sparked in a small area.
Countless orc civilians took to the streets and shouted, "Don't let our people live without dignity, Beamon was born to stand up to the heavens, not to grovel." ”
Captain Cao, who was the main culprit, didn't expect to cause such a wave, but his reaction was not slow. As soon as he heard this call, Captain Cao convened a departmental meeting again.
Under Captain Cao's categorical decision, the security brigade began to use the department's funds to buy slaves from some slave owners in Bimon. Because of the anti-slave wave in Sri Lanka, these slave owners did not do well for a while, and they were bought by the security brigade at a low price.
These orc slaves, like those rescued by Captain Cao, were also liberated, and with the help of the security brigade, they took up jobs and began to win the dignity of survival for themselves with their own hands.
Those of them who are more successful in life will contribute their part back to the departmental fund of the vigilante brigade to save more of their fellow citizens in a way that is completely in line with the law of slavery.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Captain Cao's practices may not cause much change in the short term. In the long run, the popular base of the security brigade will become more and more entrenched, and it will become a snowball means of emancipating slaves.
Many old aristocrats questioned this practice, and the slaves had always existed, so did they still want to erase this class directly? However, this kind of questioning did not receive any response from the side of the security brigade, they just did things silently, and did not care about those rumors at all. This kind of problem is not a problem at all in Captain Cao's opinion.
If you say yes, then give others a foothold to criticize. If you don't explain, they can only insinuate a few words.
Now the security brigade liberates slaves by buying slaves, and it does not contradict the slave law, and it has no effect on them chewing their tongues. The security brigade is like a slave owner in the slave trade, what to do with the slave after buying it, that is the right of the slave owner. No one can criticize and blame.
Captain Cao did not live up to Pedro's kindness, at least Captain Cao felt that conniving at his subordinates to commit murder had more than just a negative effect. Even if he did it again, Captain Cao would still do it.
That incident made the vigilant brigade's reputation even more violent, and it made the human businessmen even more fearful. Even if they were engaged in the slave trade, the movement was much smaller during this time. There are few human traders in Sri Lanka who would dare to abuse slaves in public.
If there is no dramatic development, maybe the Public Security Brigade, the Ninth Street Gang, could have made more moves in a short period of time, but after all, people are not as good as heaven.
was dragged into this drama **, and it was the singing and crying civilian hero Captain Cao again. At the same time, there is bad luck this year. Mr. Hoines of the old Luo family, who memorized the words.
Hoines had also planned to leave Sri Lanka to embark on the road back to his hometown, but the trip was delayed due to a series of trivial matters, and then he experienced the slavery boom in Sri Lanka from the perspective of a bystander.
Hoines was tempted to say I'm cāo. This time, he really didn't provoke the big back head at all, but when the moldy god wants to kiss you, you may not be able to hide even if you try your best.
The gold business of the Lao Luo family is not only in a position close to the monopoly of the industry, but also the basis for the diversification of their various industries. Countless people have deposited their funds in the gold bank of the Lao Luo family, which directly allows the Lao Luo family to have the largest liquidity chain on the Pan-American continent, which supports their diversified business to show a thriving side.
And in this diversified business, the slave trade has always been hugely profitable. It is an aspect that the Lao Luo family attaches great importance to. Hoines was a dead mouse and was bumped into by a blind cat. Originally, because of the big discount in business at the end of this year, the huge losses of weapons stores, and the impact of new business models on Wall Street. The poor harvest of the business that Hoines was responsible for gave him a lot of headaches.
At the beginning, Hoines spent a huge price to obtain the fat difference of the head of the family's chamber of commerce in Sri Lanka, who knew that in the first year of his tenure, he met the nemesis of Captain Cao.
Not only did they not make enough money to fill their pockets. He even had to go back and give a reasonable explanation for his dismal performance. Otherwise, he will be directly cut off from his current position by the angry family leaders, and it is typical to lose his wife and soldiers.
Fortunately, I have been in business for many years. Having dabbled in the family's diverse industries, Howings came up with an all-out solution, even after suffering such a heavy blow.
It is to use the money in hand to buy Beamon slaves on a large scale. Hoines not only reluctantly paid a sum of money to have something to do with the real power of the Grand Duke Heinsohne, and bought a group of slaves of unusual origin for himself, and the number of slaves purchased was so large that Hoines was gratified.
This is a blessing in misfortune, but before Hones returned, he encountered a large-scale public opinion boycott of the slave trade in Sri Lanka, which can be imagined how miserable Hoins's desperate gamble became.
Thinking about taking a large number of slaves on the road now made Hones frightened and did not dare to make the trip. There are more than 300 high-quality slaves, as long as they can be dragged back, it can also alleviate Hoins's urgent needs, and the profits brought can make Hoins's position a little more stable.
But if all this bit of blood is lost, then Hoines will really be finished! What was originally a very bold decision turned into a huge failure because of such reasons, and Hoines really couldn't cry.
In the end, there was really no way, and Hoines could only turn his attention to the Archduke Heinsohn for help. After a series of private negotiations, the Archduke Heinsohn agreed to send the Rhine-ruled city garrison to help Hones escort the slaves out of the city in the same way as before......
