A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 349 So much news
"Guess why I came to visit you?"

"Why else would you come to visit me? You don't need to ask, I already know it."

Miller knew very well why Arthur came to visit him.

After Arthur signaled Miller to continue, he sat quietly and waited for Miller's next words.

Miller was not in a hurry to tell why Arthur came, but talked about other things:
"That little secret I gave you before, the illegal mining in the Bay of Saint-Denis, I've seen it in the newspapers, Lemieux has stepped down, and the new mayor doesn't seem to be planning to inherit Lemieux's old policies, I heard, Cornwall is discussing the matter with the new mayor in Saint-Denis.”

Well, this is new news. Arthur knew that Cornwall was in Saint Denis, but he didn't know that it was for this purpose.

However, Arthur decided to settle the matter of visiting Miller today first, and then talk about other things.

"So is your association ready to welcome me to join?" Arthur asked directly.

It's quite interesting to say that, apart from the fact that the association showed strange enthusiasm for their joining at the beginning, later on it seemed that they were no longer in a hurry, but were advancing slowly and leisurely.

"I have been preparing. It's not that Mr. Morgan is too busy. I just learned that you have returned to Saint Denis. The problems that affected your membership have now been resolved, so if nothing else happens, in two days The Tian Association will hold a small party for you to join, and will send you a message in advance at that time, so it will be the same if you don’t make this trip today. After all, whether you join the association or not, the result has already been It’s settled, isn’t it?” Miller told the news happily.

Seeing Miller so straightforward, Arthur was happy to have a quick victory. He jokingly said:

"In that case, I won't bother you. Can you go first?"

Miller didn't expect Arthur to be so straightforward. He took Arthur's joke seriously and said quickly:

"Ah? Did you come to me just to ask about this matter? Didn't you hear the news about Cornwall and the new mayor that I just told you?"

"I'm not deaf, of course I heard it, but someone told me that you have to know who your enemy is. If Cornwall comes to discuss business, let him do it. He will make less money and I won't make more money." To make money, I have no intention of getting involved in illegal mining.”

Arthur expressed his attitude very clearly.

After listening, Miller frowned and said:

"I'm not sure how you define an enemy, but for me, if you make Cornwall uncomfortable, I will be very comfortable. So, I hope you can get a hand in this matter. I have heard the same , the new mayor seems to have something to do with you?"

No matter how Miller heard about it, Arthur didn't deny it or confirm it.

"Hmm, let me confirm, you just want me to be a middleman for you, and then help you tell the mayor, hoping that he can refuse cooperation with Cornwall, is that what you mean?"

Miller knew very well what Arthur was talking about. He smiled and said indifferently: "Of course, you can understand it this way. Frankly speaking, the oil production in St. Denis Bay has always been very good, and due to geological conditions, It is also very easy to mine connections. If you can help me connect with the mayor, I will naturally bear the benefits that the mayor needs. At the same time, as the middleman, I will also give you a satisfactory How about the remuneration? I don’t think you can refuse the multi-win thing."

"As long as Cornwall fails to negotiate, you are sure to take over? Although it is illegal mining, doesn't the equipment and everything else belong to Cornwall? The new mayor has not allowed you to mine legally except to prohibit it from continuing to mine. ability."

Miller smiled and shook his head and said:
"This is a strange question. I don't understand how you can't understand the operation here. Come on, let me explain it to you. Suppose Cornwall loses the support of the mayor, then Cornwall is not only If there is no way to continue mining, the equipment and workers will all become negative assets that continue to lose money.”

"I can accept it. He will only thank me for this. Have you not heard about it? The coal mine strike has already made him very worried. His hiring of Pinkerton to infiltrate the workers was revealed by the workers. After killing Pinkerton, who was disguised as a worker, the entire strike became more intense, and Cornwall can be said to be in trouble now."

This is another interesting news.

"So, when Cornwall comes to St. Denis, in addition to the oil issue in the Gulf of St. Denis mentioned just now, he also has to deal with the strike in Annesburg?" Arthur said with some gloating.

"Hey, my opponent, this damn guy has been in a lot of trouble recently. Not only the ones just now, I also heard another news, that is, his refinery was attacked by Indians some time ago. By the way, if I hadn't I remember wrongly, Mr. Morgan, you seem to have a good relationship with the Wapiti group of Indians? After all, you wanted to help them before? "

Although he didn’t know why Miller mentioned this, but in line with the principle that the more information the better, Arthur nodded and said:
"Hmm, that's what happened, so what happened to Wapiti's group of Indians?"

"You may not know, and that's right. After all, this matter has not been reported. I also heard what others said, but it should be true. I want to think about how to tell you about this. Well, you know that there is a garrison at Fort Wallace. Right?"

"heard about it."

"Just heard about it. It was probably because the refinery in Cornwall was attacked, and the garrison at Fort Wallace retaliated against the Wapiti Indians."

"What does this have to do with Cornwall?" Arthur asked in confusion.

Does the garrison at Wallaceburg have any interest in Cornwall?
And then, is this a problem for Cornwall?
"You don't understand this. Cornwall has contracted the supply of the garrison, and among them, for the oil in Wapiti, of course, we already know that there is no oil there, but Cornwall doesn't know, he They should have bribed Colonel Favors to help him expel the Wapiti Indians. In short, the news I heard is that they are constantly in conflict and are already planning to go to war."

"Then isn't this a problem with Colonel Favors? What does it have to do with Cornwall?"

Miller said with a smile:

"It's a big deal. I heard, yes, I heard. Don't be curious about who I am listening to. The news is always the most important, and it doesn't matter who is listening. In short, I heard, This group of Indians did not dare to attack Fort Wallace, nor did they dare to attack the Army, so they continued to attack Cornwall's factories and freight carriages. It seemed that Cornwall was completely regarded as a target of revenge, and the most important one here was Perhaps the best part is that they also destroyed the railway that belonged to Cornwall..."

"..."

Arthur had no idea that he would learn so much news during this visit to Miller.
