Chapter 664 Subversion Template (Part 2)
If Braavos is a marionette to Westeros At the mercy of the Roger family, it was the direct intervention of the hands-on.

Of these two models, the former is obviously more stable and reliable in the long run: not only will it not cause immediate resentment and public resentment, but it can also withstand the test of dynasties and internal power seizures within the Dragon Family - as long as the place on the contact list Braavos can maintain more or less influence without the tyrants and core power layers being wiped out.

Unfortunately, in the short term, relying on two Divine Grade marriages, while Westeros has not yet been completely unified, there are still two major regimes of North-Targaryen and South-Martell, and at the same time became the in-laws of the two ...The Rogal Bank, which became the royal family of the entire Westeros, held down the Iron Vault.

The reason is very simple: which bank the treasury does business with is directly determined by the owner of the property, but it is not up to the staff and staff to make irresponsible remarks, while the parents of the royal family and the real owner of the kingdom are impossible As a marionette of the Iron Vault.

Is the Rogar family voluntarily intruding into the political vortex of Westeros, or is House Targaryen, who has been overwhelmed and realized that "Iron Throne is about to be controlled by the Iron Vault", was introduced as a third party to Make checks and balances and break the fulcrum? We don't know, but at least the canonical records of this period have no doubts: Long before the aftermath of the Dance of the Dragons dissipated, the Rogal Bank flourished under the rule of the brilliant House Head and his brother Drazek. , this rise was even more uncontrollable after Prince Viserys returned to King's Landing with his wife Lara Lady, facilitating Westeros' alliance with Rogal.

At first, Iron Vault only resorted to conventional means of containment in the face of the sudden force of its pursuers: spreading rumors to slander the reputation of Roger Bank, increasing business competition and squeezing its business territory, long sleeves help one dance beautifully dismantle the third daughter's alliance and detonate the war to worsen its financial environment, etc...

This old but effective shit-stick method did succeed in suppressing Rogar Bank's upward momentum at first, but Dorne The latter, who was a wet nurse in the back, survived the first round attack... With the official signing and implementation of the alliance agreement between the Targaryen royal family and Rogal Bank, Iron Throne began to withdraw the deposits in the iron vault and transfer it to Rogal Banks, this amazing siphonic ups and downs allowed Rogar Bank to quickly recover, and its performance was booming. After a year when the rise was stifled, it successfully overtook the iron vault, achieved positive results, and became a known world cash flow and business volume. Biggest bank, no one.

The iron-clad fact finally touched the red line in the Braavos people's nerves. The Black and White Court was summoned by the Keyholders Society, and the infamous Faceless Men responded. Just a few months after Roger Bank successfully reached the top, its two strong and shrewd pillars died in two "accidents" on the same day and separated by the narrow sea, in an unimaginable way-both violently!
……

However, unlike most people’s personal impressions or intuitive feelings: Rogar Bank did not collapse with the death of the two major Sect Masters on the same day, on the contrary, The killing of the two helmsmen was just the beginning of a series of stormy attacks. Rogar itself is a Great Family, and the former leader has left a sufficient number of descendants; its bank is also a huge monster with complete institutions, sufficient staff and unparalleled cash flow in the world - there are countless lords and nobles under the Dorne and Targaryen Dynasty. Customers, it can be said that if ten or eight Rogers die, it can continue to push forward under the action of inertia, and maintain the identity of the first bank for at least three years and five years.

Assassin alone is not enough to subvert such an existence, so there are follow-up stories.

Lissandra is not only the president of Roger Bank, but also Lys's "lifetime first Magister". His death not only created a vacancy within the family, but also left a huge power vacuum in Lys politics . The position of the family patriarch is undoubtedly inherited by his eldest son, but the status of Lys's number one powerful figure is not hereditary... His corpse bitten by a crab has not been salvaged yet, and a large number of politicians have begun to compete for his position and status. Legacy of power.

What's more, his son Lisang Luo, who is recognized as "twice the father's ambition, but only half the ability", is also not to be outdone, determined to take back "belonging" (actually not at all). The term) father's dominance. And the result that his ability is not worthy of his ambition is that he has become one of the most famous wastrels in the world since ancient times: after successfully winning the chief executive election, he organized grand entertainment activities to please the common people, and then won the previous election. Unseen huge sums of money to bribe other Magisters, in an attempt to "buy back" the late father's dominance in Lys with money rather than prestige - finding that this trick is not effective, he intends to provoke the former friend as the chief executive. Tyrosh or Myr's short war, gilding oneself with the glory of victory and conquest to take back the title of "First Magister".

After spending money to drain his personal savings, he began embezzling bank funds.

It is almost a natural industry rule that bankers use the funds deposited by customers, and there is no need to criticize too much, but the biggest problem of Lisang Luo is: he should not have a strong enemy waiting for countless pairs Do risky maneuvers with your eyes on him. The iron vault with spies already installed inside and outside the Rogal bank is of course impossible to pass up this opportunity to eradicate its opponents, Braavos' propaganda department has never been running at such full power - "Rogal Bank's vault is about to be embezzled and exhausted" The rumours were flying all over the sky for a while, but there were some prudent and even evidence circulating, the most amazing run in the history of Free Cities broke out, Magister and wealthy businessmen rushed to withdraw money, gold poured out of Lisang Luo's cellar, in just a few days Just put Rogar Bank from Heaven into Hell.

The bank went bankrupt, Lisang Luo was forced to abscond (but was killed when he failed), the fall of the Roger family was a foregone conclusion, but the Iron Vault still refused to let go—Keyholders would make up their minds This daring challenger completely warns others from following bad examples to deter latecomers. Not only the Rogars in Lys have become slaves, but even the royal relatives who have married to King's Landing and live in the Red Keep, they are not going to let go!
Under the secret connection and instigation of the Iron Vault, the politicians who hated Rogal beat the underdogs, framed the Lys people for far more crimes than they actually committed, and launched a crime based on this For the coup d'etat against Princess Roger, after arresting Lady Lara's brother, she even wanted to take the princess herself. Fortunately, Aegon III and Prince Viserys, who were still children at the time, bravely stood up and raised their weapons to protect the former, only after paying the price of being besieged by Maegor's Holdfast for 18 days, they saved the last dignity of the Rogar family and saved the family. Dispelled the iron treasury's idea of continuing to invest resources in pursuit.

＊＊＊

"The subversion of Rogar Bank is an unprecedented super-large-scale cross-departmental collaboration in the history of Braavos, Sealord fleet, Intelligence Section, propaganda agencies and even the black and white... Everyone worked together around the Iron Vault to defend against foreign enemies, showing our country's incredible unity, organization and coordination ability in the face of threats." Oneself, the current president of the Keyholders Association, who has summed up this history, was also dismissed. Encouraged by the stories of our ancestors, even the tone became light and confident, "Today, Braavos is far stronger than ever, but we are also faced with equal or greater threats, how to deal with it, after I finish this paragraph After the story, everyone should take history as a mirror, and obviously they should have something to look forward to, right?"

"First of all, 'assassinate Lissandra and Drazek Rogar's brother' - not to kill both prestige and ability The leader of Gu and Helmsman, want to use conventional means to contain the volume is far better than my Braavos' Seven Kingdoms, simply is whimsical!" After less than a second, the voice of the answer came out, "The question is: who, Or who and who... are the 'Lissandra and Delazeko' of Westeros Bank?"
