Blackstone Code

Zhuris is the capital of the Amelia region and the center of rule of the Gefra people in this region.

Before the Gefra people occupied and leased this area, although it was not very prosperous, it had everything that most cities should have.

There is a ray of tranquility hidden in the noisy city atmosphere, chapters of the years are left on the mottled walls, and traces of history are hidden in the gaps of the bumpy brick roads.

But now...the situation here is very bad.

Even on the roads in the city's central blocks, there were no people to be seen. Most of the shops on both sides of the roads were closed. It was obviously late spring and summer, when vitality began to bloom, but here it was as desolate as late autumn.

Occasionally, a few pedestrians appeared on the road. They all had their heads lowered, their faces were frightened, and they were walking in a hurry.

These people... are like people stepping on an iron plate with bare feet. Every step is panic to them.

This may have something to do with the blood clots in the cracks of the bricks with a hint of dark red and a faint smell.

At this time, a convoy came from a distance, protected by armored vehicles at the front and rear. In the middle of the convoy was a dark silver-gray matte House bulletproof car.

The car window was dark brown, and it was difficult to see clearly what was inside. There was someone faintly sitting on the car seat, legs crossed, and another person was facing him, saying something.

The person in the car was Lynch, and the local man who spoke was introducing Lynch to the ruling structure here. The cars they were traveling in were all shipped directly from the Federation.

To put it bluntly, Lynch did not believe in the Gaevra people. It would be the greatest irresponsibility for him to put his own life in their car. It happened that House Industry launched a new generation of bulletproof cars, and Lynch I bought several of them, plus other armored vehicles and the like, and transported them all over.

This car is not only bulletproof "on top", but the chassis has also been designed to be explosion-proof. A normal bomb will not directly kill or injure the passengers in the car, except that it will fly up the car and cause concussion and sound wave damage to the passengers in the car. .

In order to promote the safety of these luxury bulletproof cars to those customers who are rich and can actually use them, the vice chairman of the board of directors of House Industry put his son and his family into the car, and then detonated it twice in succession. bomb to prove its reliability.

By the way, there are rumors that his son is not his, but this is definitely nonsense, and it will not be the main reason for creating this "show". Everyone believes that the vice chairman of the board of directors of House Industry is a kind-hearted person. The old man, his family is also a family that loves each other.

Higher security has allowed Haus Industrial to get many orders in the field of bulletproof luxury cars, which can be regarded as an unexpected growth feat during the economic recession.

"Seder's wife is a member of the royal family, and he himself is also a member of the royal family..."

Lin Qi raised his eyebrows: "...(the following content has been blocked)?"

Although various... things have always been spread among the royal families of some countries, including some special families in the upper class of the Federation, such as the Duncan family, these things are actually deeply hidden.

If someone hadn't dug up these black materials, most people wouldn't have even thought of this, let alone shown it so openly. For example, a local could know that the governor of Amelia, Sedel, and his wife might have It's related to..., this is unlikely.

The person sitting next to Lynch was also stunned for a moment. He waved his hand quickly, "It's my fault, Mr. Lynch. I'm sorry, I didn't express myself clearly enough."

"Seder's ancestors were once members of the royal family. Although they were members of the royal family, his bloodline is no longer pure, so they are not... related."

Then the local gave Lynch a brief introduction to how people in this world judge blood relationships.

For example, if a person has half paternal lineage and half maternal lineage, if his wife or husband is not directly related to him or her, the children they give birth to can be regarded as having one-quarter of their paternal lineage. The children of these people will Just one-eighth of the great-grandfather lineage, and then one-sixteenth...

In some countries, it is believed that as long as the blood relationship exceeds one-eighth, two people with the same blood source are not considered together... Well, some places are more strict, it is one-sixteenth.

With this explanation, Lynch understood.

"...The emperor trusted Governor Serdel very much and gave him arbitrary power. If you want to get some contracts locally, you must at least get Mr. Serdel's consent, otherwise it will be very difficult."

Lynch listened carefully and did not express his opinion immediately. He was not very familiar with Seder, but it didn't matter. He liked to make friends, and he also believed that Governor Seder would also like to make friends.

"His hobbies, who are the people around him..." Lynch asked an important point.

"Governor Seder is a very restrained person. He has not clearly shown that he has any special hobbies. He does not like money, women and men, and does not like jewelry or anything valuable. He is like a bitter person. Like a monk."

"Some people wanted to have a good relationship with him in this way before, but you know, he is a royal family and a noble. He directly threw out those people and the things they sent, and completely cut them off here. The way to take over jobs.”

"In addition, Mr. Lynch, I must remind you that Governor Seder does not have a good impression of the Federation and its people..."

There is no doubt that any of the Gaevra nobles will have any favorable impressions of the Federation. The Federation has pulled them from their position as the world's most powerful force. Under such circumstances, they can still compete with the Federation. When people mingle together, that’s when there’s a real problem.

It's normal to dislike people from the Federation, and their emperor also said so, but this also differs from person to person.

In the face of those who have the ability to do something, they must retain their attitudes. Even if they don't like federal people, they must at least show that they don't hate or be close to them.

"Last question..." Lynch tilted his head and looked at the local, "Does Governor Seder have any children?"

…

It has been two days since Lynch arrived in Zhulis. He was supposed to visit the local governor on the first day. According to Gaevra's governance structure, the governor alone holds military and political power. With his arbitrary power, here He alone is in charge.

Even the nobles and even the emperor in the Gaevra Empire found it difficult to directly interfere with the decision here. This also made Lynch understand the reason why it was so easy for him to negotiate with Emperor Gaevra and the ministers before.

A governor with a royal background and arbitrary power can resist domestic orders as long as he stays here for a day.

Even Lynch has thought that he does not need to resist completely, as long as he does not give the federal people a chance in those profitable engineering projects, and the remaining rotten fish and shrimps may not make any money and have to lose money - -The Gefra people will get subsidies if they do it themselves, but the federal government will not give subsidies to the federal people to support Gefra.

Go to Gaevra to file a complaint?

Let the country submit a formal diplomatic note?

It's possible, but at that point everyone doesn't just want to be embarrassed.

As for Lynch, he also asked Blackstone Security people to postpone the eradication of those political organizations to gain leverage for further negotiations?

This is also unlikely. The reason is very simple. He signed a contract with the defense minister of Gevra. If he fails to do what he promised within a limited time, the Gevra people can claim compensation. , and will also exert diplomatic pressure.

However, Lynch has not noticed these small tricks. There are no perfect people in this world. Even if there are, then "perfection" is this person's fatal weakness.

The motorcade passing by seemed to add something different to the city. Some residents stood behind curtains and doors, observing everything outside through small gaps.

…

"The people from the Federation are here?" Governor Seder was sitting in the study. After finishing his work for the day, he took off his glasses and rubbed his temples, and asked casually.

The butler who had been serving beside him nodded, "I've been here for two days..."

Governor Seder nodded noncommittally. He opened his eyes and thought for a while, "If it's dry for a few more days, what...will Lynch come too?"

"Yes, sir."

"Lynch..." Governor Seder said "Hey", he lowered his head and looked at an official document on the desk. The content of the official document was that Blackstone Security had a fierce exchange of fire with an anti-Japanese armed force in a remote mountainous area. .

After killing more than a hundred people on the other side, a large amount of materials and intelligence were seized, and some people fled in all directions.

This is the third independent armed organization that Blackstone Security has knocked down. They seem to know from the beginning what kind of firepower configuration these people have, where they are hiding, and which side is most suitable for attacking.

The Gefra people have not mastered these things for more than two years here. How did the Federation people master them?

Others may not dare to guess, but as the powerful local governor, Seder had guessed early on that these independent armed organizations were supported by the federal people.

Now that these people have no use value, they will clear out some of them. If necessary in the future, they can continue to support another group.

Some people in the country still think that the Federals are very powerful, but those stupid pigs don't understand at all. From the beginning, this was a trick of the Federals.

How could Governor Seder, who had seen through all this, like the Federals?

It was too late for him to hate these federal people. Over the past year or so, the resistance of the Japanese organization has become more and more fierce. The real culprits behind the death and injury of so many imperial soldiers were these federal people.

Even if there are things he can't refuse, he won't compromise so easily.
