Chapter Eighty-Three, Is This the CPU?
Gu Hang's attitude when he spoke was very sincere, as if he was not talking to a prisoner.
However, what he said was so cold.
What's more, Bradford believes every word Gu Hang says.
He was acutely aware that the Governor did not bother to deceive him.
His head was spinning rapidly, and the pressure of death was pressing him.
"You can't keep me waiting, it's a long night, but I have more to do, no effort to waste on you."
Gu Hang's words sounded again, and they were out-and-out reminders.
Bradford had never felt that his head had turned so fast in his life, his thoughts were not perfect, his thinking was not exhaustive, but he could only speak immediately: "I have been in the position of a member of the Alliance Council for four years, and I am familiar with many businessmen in and even outside Fuxing City, and I know a lot of information!" ”
"Very well, this is one." Gu Hang said, "But it's not enough, your will is not strong enough, you can't withstand torture, and you will say anything in the end." There is still some time before the public execution conference is held, enough for us to pry everything we want out of your mouth, and not prevent you from being executed at the end, so that we can make the most of it. ”
The Governor's smile made Bradford shiver. Make the most of it...... Is that what it means? Is it really 'using'?
He sometimes really preferred that the Governor should not be so honest, he was not accustomed to such a frank conversation, and he was very frightened.
But he could only bite the bullet and give one more reason: "After the Great Purge...... The quality of the executives you promote is hard to guarantee, and it will be difficult for them to carry out their work. I can get to where I am today from scratch, I am very capable, I will serve you loyally, do everything you want to do for you, no regrets! ”
"A worthy offer, but leaving behind an old MP, would flawed the deterrence of the Great Purge, the public trial that exposed the crimes. Your personal ability is not enough to make up for the loss. ”
After a pause, Gu Hang continued: "Bradford, I am a little disappointed by your performance. I thought you were a smart man who would figure out that neither intelligence nor effectiveness would bring you back your life, but you still gave those two reasons, which made me wonder if my reason for taking the time to listen to you was worthwhile. I'm running out of time, and yours is running out. ”
With the communication with Gu Hang, Bradford felt that the accumulated sense of fear and despair in his heart was getting deeper and deeper. The Governor's words, the Governor's attitude, were like a pair of big hands, grasping his heart, and tightening as he spoke.
He felt like he was running out of breath, his mind was about to be crushed by a terrible death.
But by this time, he was finally able to let go of everything.
Gu Hang was always very honest, he didn't have any reservations about the purge and the subsequent plan. And you may need to be honest with all your thoughts.
"I'm a channel merchant, and my roots aren't just in Fuxing City, they're all over the place. In the many city-states of the eastern provinces, each of them is more than 200,000 people, I have acquaintances; The lords of the manors in the southern Qinggu region have a very good relationship with me, and that guy Wohan wants to engage in the grain trade, and he also wants to communicate with the lords of the manors through me; The Oasis Kingdom in the Western Wilderness, and the Blackbird Heavy Industries Group further west, have the trade routes that I have painstakingly built, which are the core ...... of heavy industry that are very rare in the entire Angry Owl Star."
"My connections, the trade routes I have established, and the many people I have planted along those routes are my greatest treasure. But it is invisible, and will disappear with my death. Even if I want to give it to you, if I die, I can't hand it over. You can torture me to tell me all the contacts, contact methods, and even the character and experience of the other party, but their trust in me is not something that you can replace by any person you send. When I die, they will be like raindrops falling into the sea, never to be found again. ”
"You're going to worry that I'm not going to die and that I'm going to have a flaw in the public trial. But I am willing to be your tainted witness, and to testify to the crimes of every member of Parliament according to your needs. There are so many things that you don't even need to make up and list extraordinarily, I know a lot of them really. ”
"Be a liaison officer, a diplomat, a trade representative, an intelligence officer...... These are the irreplaceable values of my life. But you must still have doubts, I have so many connections in the outside world, once I am free, it is easy to escape. For this reason, I am willing to move all my family members outside into Fuxing City. I am willing to take your most loyal guards with me when I am out and about, and I can monitor and execute me at any time; Or if you have any poison or antidote for periodic attacks, I am willing to accept it. ”
"Of course, none of this is likely to be secure. I may cruelly abandon my family, my loyal guards may be murdered by me outside, and poison may find an antidote outside...... But that's the risk. ”
At this, Bradford gritted his teeth and said something that he thought would be too bold in hindsight: "You are testing me to see if I am smart enough and honest enough, and I have an answer; Now it's up to you, Governor, do you have the courage to take the risk? ”
"Are you confident that the great work you will do in the future will make me sincerely worship from the bottom of my heart, so that I will not defect?"
"Hahahaha!"
Gu Hang laughed and patted Bradford's shoulder, disapproving even a little provocative words at the end: "I now think that you are indeed a smart person, obviously, I have great confidence in me." Just do what you say, I hope you don't let me down, and I hope you can see the day when great things come to fruition and be a part of it, instead of falling halfway. ”
Bradford knew he had passed.
But he didn't have much joy in his heart.
His mood at the moment is very strange.
Happiness for the rest of your life? Of course, there is, but there is also a certain special emotion towards Gu Hang.
There was a little bit of hatred, a lot of fear, a little admiration, a little respect...... And a little hope that he himself could not even perceive.
He remembered the declaration of the first day after Gu Hang came to the surface.
He said that he wanted to rebuild the entire wasteland world so that everyone who surrendered to him could live a good life.
This Governor Gu seems to be different from every governor in the past.
At first hearing, his declaration was a wide talk, but after careful study, is he really capable of doing it?
If he does it, will his future prospects be worse than when he was a member of the alliance and a channel businessman?
Thinking of this, Bradford suddenly reacted: Huh? Am I being CPUD?
