After three rounds of drinking, everyone drank to the fullest, and slowly moved from gossip to the main topic.

Jacob wiped his mouth lightly with a napkin, and said with a smile: "Xiao Su, I have worked in the Security Bureau for so many years, and I have seen many mercenaries, but it is rare to see Lady Earl take such a fancy to a newcomer, she really admires you." ”

Su Mo took the opportunity to pick up the wine glass and saluted to O'Diana: "Thank you Lady Earl for taking care of me all the time, without you, I would not be where I am today." ”

This is not an exaggeration.

If it weren't for O'Diana giving him the opportunity to steal the black core of the 101 research base, he would have been caught by the joint venture company and made into slices.

Of course, this glass of wine should be more respectful, but it's a pity that she is not here, and I don't know when the next goodbye will be.

Odiana had a smile on her face and clinked glasses with Su Mo: "You're welcome, it's all up to you, keep up the good work." ”

Jacob rubbed his chin, squinted his eyes and said, "Xiao Su, I heard from Lady Count, you were threatened by the crow's nest a few days ago?" ”

Su Mo smiled helplessly: "They set up a set in the eating place, and they won't let them go if they don't shoot a video." Later I used some methods to get out. ”

Jacob nodded approvingly: "It is really brave and resourceful to be able to retreat from the crow's nest." Madame Earl invited us this time to see if we could help. ”

Su Mo didn't play politely, and said directly: "If Mr. Director has connections and can help the juniors say a few words at the Crow's Nest, it would be really grateful." ”

Jacob sighed softly and said earnestly: "Everyone here is a trusted guest of Madam Earl, and they are my own people, so I will not hide what I say. ”

"If you change it to the honeymoon period in the border and inner city more than a decade ago, the major groups are very face-saving to the authorities. A casual hello from my side will make those bosses polite to you. ”

"But in recent years, the world has been declining, eight years ago, the crow's nest came to power, the attitude towards the authorities has become more and more tough, and the relationship between the border and the inner city has also deteriorated rapidly. Don't talk about you mercenaries, even I have a headache to death. ”

Su Mo was familiar with the past, present, and future situation of Crescent City.

But in order not to let Jacob be cold, he still knowingly asked: "Why don't the authorities exterminate the crow's nest and support a controlled group of people to take office?" Won't the frontier get better in this way? ”

Jacob sighed and said, "Xiao Su, you are too young to think things too simply. ”

"Eh, I'll test you and Dongdong with a question. In your opinion, why did the frontier become the decay it is today? ”

This topic made Dongdong sullen, and he lowered his eyes and muttered: "It's all because the rich people in the inner city occupy all kinds of resources and don't give us frontier people development opportunities." ”

Jacob smiled helplessly: "That's not right. What does it mean to occupy resources? There are land, and there are borders. There are many natural resources and borders. ”

"As for the monopoly of science and technology, that's a non-existent thing. Top groups like the Crow's Nest have even opened factories in the northern industrial development zone, with a complete production chain of light and heavy industries, and the level of various technologies is not much worse than that of the inner city. ”

"But after all these years, the border is still in this state of decay, with wars raging everywhere, major groups fighting and bleeding, and residents living in dire straits every day."

"Why is that? Why is it that the frontiers are always so chaotic that they just can't be united? There's only one reason."

Jacob pointed upwards in a quiet tone: "Some people don't want to see the border unity. ”

Dong Dong asked blankly, "What do you mean?" ”

Jacob coughed lightly and said slowly: "Do you know how our security bureau welcomes new people every year, how can we make those newcomers obey the management as soon as possible?" ”

"It's very simple, if there are 10 new people, we will take 9 aside, and then beat the remaining 1 person to death."

"No matter what that person does, no matter how sincere, no matter how hard he tries, we will reprimand him, insult him, and not give him any chance to turn over and make him a clown in the team."

"And then we tell the others – if you don't work hard, you're going to be like him."

"No, that's all. As long as you set up a sacrifice in the team and let everyone see his miserable end, the others will desperately stay away from him, lean towards you, and obey you. ”

"That's true for managing a team, it's the same for managing a city."

Dong Dong unconsciously clenched his fists: "You mean, the border is the chosen sacrifice?" Is it all the city council behind this? ”

Jacob Ben was drinking to moisten his throat, and after hearing this, he choked and laughed while coughing: "You misunderstood, how can the city council have this ability." At best, the city council is the city's mid-rise building, and there are behemoths on it. ”

Dong Dong whispered, "You mean, the Big Three? ”

Jacob nodded: "Hezi Company, Iron Blood Consortium, Black Domain Group. They are the real rulers at the top. ”

"The situation that the border has evolved into today is, on a certain level, their will."

"You think our city council doesn't want the border to get better? God, more than anyone else, we want the frontier to be as prosperous and stable as the inner city. In that way, Crescent City's residential happiness index will not be at the bottom every year, and we will not be scolded every year. ”

"But the Big Three won't allow the frontier to get better, because they need a devastated frontier to better control the lives of the people in the inner city."

"They don't allow the border forces and the city council to get too close, otherwise the people below will unite and let those who are above them?"

So, a lot of questions have been answered. Why did the border become what it is today? And why is there a discourse group like the Crow's Nest that has an extremely bad relationship with the authorities? ”

"It's inconvenient to say some things too bluntly, both of them are smart people, and they must be able to figure it out for themselves."

Su Mo couldn't help but sigh.

Jacob has already explained the situation on the border very thoroughly.

The frontier is a bad land, yes, but it is a man-made bad land.

Millions of people were abandoned, struggling on the border, rotting.

The more depraved the frontier people became, the more the inner city people discriminated against them.

The more discriminatory the people of the inner city became, the more the people of the frontier hated them.

This malicious connection forms an unbreakable chain, leaving both the frontier and the inner city trapped in it from which it is impossible to escape.

Anyone who tries to break this chain, whether it is a border group, a mercenary, or a city council, will be suppressed by thunder.

The three giants are so high, allowing the people below to embarrass each other and consume each other.

The more humans hate each other, the more they can't unite, the stronger they become as human elites.

This is the truth of the frontier.

There are five giant capitals in the human world, as well as hundreds of large and small cities.

Every city has a similar place.

The frontier of Crescent City is just a microcosm of the dark side of the Dawning World.

Perhaps feeling that the atmosphere was a little heavy, Odiana took a sip of red wine and changed the topic: "However, this year, the wolf attack joined the competition for the king's election, and I don't know if the position of the crow's nest can still sit firmly, maybe the upheaval is just around the corner." ”

Jacob exhaled his wine and waved his hand: "Wolf attack. I get a headache when I hear this name. Little sister, I heard that you grew up in the borderlands, have you ever dealt with wolf raiders before? ”

Dongdong shook his head: "No, but I've heard that their boss is called 'Fenrir', which sounds like a male name, but it is actually a woman, and everyone calls her 'Wolf King' on the road." ”

"Other groups generally make their fortunes by smuggling, selling contraband, etc., and wolf raids make their fortunes by fighting, and every inch of land is won with blood."

Jacob shrugged: "To be honest, if the Crow's Nest is the only one, it won't be anything, anyway, there is a rusty wall, they live theirs, we live ours, and there will be no large-scale conflict." ”

"But this year, wolf attacks have sprung up, and the situation in the border king election has become very complicated. In order to prove their dominance to the major groups, these two really don't know what crazy things they will do. ”

At this time, Su Mo secretly recalled the date.

Today is the dawn of October 3, 152.

Little did Jacob know that he was about to become a prophecy.

A week later, on October 10th, unprecedented upheaval will take place in Crescent City.

The craziest chapter of the Frontier King's Election will also begin at that time.
