Miss Wang Weina, my cousin can't do it either!

Sold the military.As long as there is money, the army can always be rebuilt in the future. Anyway, the strength of the Colombian army is just that. Compared with the Victorian army with steam armored soldiers, it is simply ants and elephants, which is not worth mentioning at all.

By selling the military, future politicians can build a more obedient army.Now this army has touched the bottom line of their interests and the monopoly giants behind them!Relying on their exploits in the War of Independence, they acted recklessly and domineeringly. Not only did they bring great troubles to business operations, but now they have made a big mess. They just took this opportunity to clean up the military.

Having settled on the doctrine, the referee called a representative of the military and informed him of the decision of the political circles.

"For the future of Colombia, we have decided to temporarily dismiss several five-star generals in the army, and several commanders also need to be investigated by the Federal Parliament in order to meet Victoria's request."

Not a question, but a statement tone.The chief referee's words were full of undeniable meaning.The military representative looked at him with a pale face, and refused:

"This is impossible. There is no precedent for dismissing high-level figures in the country because of foreign threats! We will not accept this proposal!"

He spoke righteously and waved impassionedly:

"If the Victorians dare to come, let them come. We Columbia is a free country, a democratic country, how can we submit to such a hegemonic empire? Our country defeated them in the War of Independence, when we still waved With a farm fork and a shovel, now we have a mature arms industry, Originium heavy artillery, and warlocks are not scarce, we will definitely win again!"

He spoke with enthusiasm, as if the war would be won the next moment, and Victoria's army would be beaten back home by Colombia the next moment.But the chief referee and the gentlemen just laughed indifferently and sneered at his words.

Was it Victoria they defeated a hundred years ago?

Not at all, what they defeated was the stability maintenance troops stationed on the border under a corrupt border duke in Victoria. Although those troops were armed with heavy crossbows and staffs, what was the difference between them and their militiamen with pitchforks?It's just a dog collected from the local aborigines.

And the Duke of Victoria, at that time, was still resisting the expansion of the thriving Gaul Empire on his own. A large number of troops were hoarded on the front-line battlefield, and he had no time to care about the burning backyard.Even so, they defeated the group of "dogs" and won the thirteen mobile cities when Columbia made a fortune, but they still had to waste their efforts and paid unimaginable casualties!

And now?What they have to face is the first war waged by the Victorian regular army, elite army, and central army that is reappearing the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets.At this time, the Victorian army, even the handle of the knife, must be sharpened and eager to break their hair.Just relying on Columbia, dare to bite the bullet and hit Victoria's sharp knife?

It's just a flower in the head.The odds are absolutely zero.

Not to mention, even if it was possible to fight, the political circles have no idea of ​​fighting at all.

The matter was caused by your military. Our political circles have not done anything from the beginning to the end. Now that we have caused trouble, you want us to take the blame for you and pay for you?

How much does it cost to fight a war, do your military pig brains know?How much money has Colombia made since its founding?Is there enough to support the cost of fighting Victoria?What's more, this battle is still a battle with little hope. If it is over and lost, the political circles and the military will have to be buried with Colombia. Even if it is won, the war will mean expanding the army, and the military will expand again. How can the political circles without money check and balance you?

Anyway, our political circles can't get any benefits, and we have to spit out all the money we put in our pockets. You are a fool if you have a good plan!

It's a good idea, Colombia doesn't have a tradition of breathing and sharing adversity, you guys who betrayed the political circles and want to eat alone, the sooner you die, the better, the cleaner the better!

"This matter has already been decided, and there is no room for negotiation."

The chief referee replied without hesitation, and he turned around angrily, meaning that there was no need to talk anymore.

Colombia can still make money, and their political circles still have to make money, and they will not bring the country to be buried with you in the military!

The representatives of the military seemed to have suffered a great humiliation.

They have indeed acted recklessly. The brigadier general involved has been arrested and is ready to submit an apology to the Federal Parliament to make amends. The Colombian army, which is ready to go, has also mobilized before the war against Victoria.

But they were betrayed, and the political circles were only thinking about how to keep their pocketbooks. They didn't care about Colombia, a country that was born in a colony, a symbol of freedom and a beacon of democracy. For them, it didn't matter whether Colombia died or not. They All they want is money.As long as it can make money, this country can be called Columbia, it doesn't matter if it is called Victoria Thirteen Colony!

They ignored the belief of all Colombians in defending their homes and the country, and ignored the military's ambition to resist to the end and defend their dignity.

The military really misunderstood them. How can Colombia be governed by cooperating with such a group of insects?

These people are no longer ordinary traitors, and they must be dealt with hard!

The military representative's face was as cold as ice, and he looked at the referee's back with cold eyes, and made an ultimatum in a low and hoarse voice:

"Have you thought it through? The military may not be able to defeat Victoria, but it can always defeat you!"

The referee turned around furiously. At this time, the military has not realized the mistake he made? !Dare to boldly threaten the political circles? !

It is simply unreasonable!The matter was caused by you, the political circles have endured pressure for you, Colombia has suffered humiliation because of you, and because of Victoria’s ultimatum, Colombia’s economic development has slowed down visibly in the past few days, and all walks of life have fallen into panic and depression Among them, the stock market crashed and the exchange was closed. The wallets of the gentlemen almost shrank by half overnight. After paying such a high price, they got such a chance to negotiate peace with Victoria.

As a result, their sacrifices were not only not understood by the military, but the military even threatened them with the attitude of Lao Tzu being the best in the world?

Why, the military still dares to rebel? !

He slapped the table with a slap and shouted angrily:

"roll!"

He never imagined that such a word "scroll" would lead to such consequences.

Soon after, a nation built on betrayal ushered in the biggest and worst betrayal in its short history!The army has betrayed its government and the government has betrayed its army!

Chapter 56 The Riddler Cat

Columbia, New York, Wall Street, the night of July [-]th.

The lights in the financial exchange are still brightly lit, even though it is now the closing time in normal days.Soldiers armed with live ammunition were patrolling back and forth outside the gate, their crossbows and imitation firearms in their hands kept loaded at all times, and not far from the gate of the exchange, a corpse hung from a street lamp was playing its deadly role. The biggest effect of the latter is to deter people in the financial exchange not to act rashly, let alone try to break through the encirclement net of the military subordinates.

Otherwise, shoot to kill!Those who are not afraid of death can imitate the man on the telephone pole and see if their chest muscles are as hard as the alloy arrowhead.

The atmosphere in the financial exchange was very tense. It was originally a place where Colombian social elites would hang out. It was a veritable place for the upper class and a paradise for capital. Yes, the land is not working well, and life may be in danger at any time.

The capitalists began to try to bribe the military and use the money to buy themselves a life.The elites of society came to their backstage, hoping to find out what happened.The few gamblers who hoped to turn over overnight with the help of stock trading gave full play to their gambler psychology, trying to sneak away through toilet windows, second-floor balconies and other places, and finally became another decoration on the lamppost after a scream .

就这样，精英们度过了“血色的7月8日”，“黑色的7月9日”，迎来了如今7月9日惨淡的黄昏。

"In the end what happened?"

The money was robbed, but the life was still not bought. Touching the burning palm prints on his face, he opened his mouth missing a big tooth and shouted.He needed a backbone, a leader, someone who figured out what was going on, to explain it to him.

"I just asked my superior. He said that this matter is related to Victoria. They are still coordinating and there is nothing they can do for the time being."

The social elite in suits and leather shoes helped his black-rimmed glasses and tried his best to maintain his dignity, but his hungry stomach made his words seem weak.

"Ah! Something to do with Victoria?"

The screaming lady at the party lost her elegance at this moment. Her face was covered with foundation that was smeared with tears after two days of not touching up her makeup. Unfortunately, her stunning beauty did not win her the sympathy of those big soldiers. They were almost stretched out by their claws.

She screamed, and said the most incredible, but also the most reasonable guess at the moment:

"No...it's not the Victorians who came in, right? Those soldiers, can't they be the Victorians?"

As soon as this remark came out, there was a moment of silence in the hall, and then, more and more frightened discussions and shouts sounded.The panicked Colombians tried their best to deny this possibility. They were arguing that New York State is located in the hinterland of Columbia. New York State is an important economic center. New York State is adjacent to the capital Washington State. It is impossible for New York State to be invaded by Victoria.But in their hearts, they believed in this possibility more and more—maybe those soldiers outside were really Victorian soldiers?

Otherwise, they really can't figure out why the Colombian soldiers who should protect their people and the pillars of their country are now pointing their guns at them and besieging them here without giving them food or drink , wanting to starve them to death.

I can't figure it out!

Wayne, who was standing among the crowd, looked a bit ugly.According to common sense, after his phone call with Wei Na the night before, Colombia should have received a diplomatic warning from Victoria by today at the latest.

If people in the Colombian political circles are not pretending to be muddled, by this time, they should know what trouble they have caused.Unless they really want to fight Victoria, it's time to show their existence.

But until now, the Colombian military has shown no sign of wanting to withdraw.

Why are Colombians so brave?

Wayne absolutely trusted Wei Na and Teresia, and they must have taken action to rescue themselves.But Columbia's still unmoved attitude more or less made Wayne a little worried.

No, it seems that he can't just wait like this, he has to save himself.

"Kelsey, Kelsey?"

Wayne turned his head and scanned the crowd, trying to find out where the big green lynx had gone, but he turned around but didn't see Kelsey's whereabouts.Just wondering, I saw Kelsey walking out of the bathroom holding a crying woman.Take a closer look, isn't that the socialite who spread the "rumor" just now?

Good guy, I said where did I go, and I went to work as a wrench for a long time.

The corner of his mouth twitched, and he looked speechlessly at the weeping girl lying on Kelsey's shoulder. Wayne felt that Kelsey had probably succeeded.

It's a pity that Colombia has lost another girl with a normal sexual orientation, and Terra Wrench is so terrifying!

"His Royal Highness, are you looking for me?"

After finally comforting the girl, Kelsey walked towards Wayne and asked,

"I seemed to hear your call in the bathroom just now?"

"I have something to ask for you. By the way, you really don't have any sense of crisis. At this time, you still have the mood to comfort the little girl?"

Wayne pursed his lips and complained.

Kelsey shook her head and explained:

"Letting a woman cry but not comforting her is not what a gentleman does, and my purpose is not just that. I know your thoughts, so I took action in advance."

She blinked, winked at Wayne, pointed to the socialite who was blinking her big watery eyes and chatting with other people, and said:

"I used my identity as a Victorian to comfort her. And I gave some enlightenment. That girl is a smart person, but she is more emotional. She has now realized that a gentleman Victorian will not be the culprit for such an inhumane act. As the person who spread this rumor, it is obviously more useful for her to clarify to these people than for us to come forward in person."

Wayne was slightly surprised:

"She actually believes you?"

The corner of Kelsey's mouth raised an arc, as if he was happy to have finally caught Wayne's knowledge blind spot, and explained with some satisfaction:

"She is a very emotional person. A girl who is alone and helpless is the easiest to trust the person who helps her. The social elites in Colombia ignore him and only care about their own survival, but the gentlemen in Victoria are considerate and warm to her. She It is self-evident who will believe. And from the point to the surface is the unique inferiority of human beings. Individual faults will always be conveyed to the entire group with this characteristic through the characteristics they hold. As long as you learn to reverse thinking, this The theorem can also be applied in reverse."

It's like a mother who sees the news on TV that her child has abandoned her studies because of playing games. She thinks that all games are electronic games. There is a corrupt high-ranking official who is an otaku, and she thinks that all otaku are bad things. ?

Wayne translated silently in his heart, which is much simpler and clearer. Kelsey's words always contain philosophy, which makes people half-understandable.

But what is the purpose of doing this?Even if we reversed the girl's impression of the Victorians and clarified the rumor, what's the use?

Seeming to see Wayne's doubts, Kelsey crossed her arms and said with a smile:

"Your Highness Wayne, self-preservation is a complicated art. It is also in the wilderness. Some people can only establish order in an extremely dangerous environment and live a healthy life, while some people can only live without assertiveness. .Right now, the financial exchange is an island. People here need a leader, and someone with a bad reputation can't be a leader. Instead of awakening one of them, you should occupy this position and bring them together Get up, what do you think?"

Wayne was a little taken aback, but soon became sincerely admired again.

While he was still thinking about the plan, Kelsey had already calculated everything step by step and arranged everything properly. This is probably reliable, right?

There is a reliable person by his side, and he just needs to lie down and win. Is it such a comfortable thing?

Kelsey went on to say:

"To unite a group, what is needed is not a wise leader, but a common enemy. Your Highness, I just completed the first step for you, allowing you to qualify as a leader as a Victorian. Next It's up to you. Make them a common enemy, that's what you do best, right?"

Unite the Northern Kings and Vina, who are in dire straits, and establish the Duke of Normandy as a common enemy.Unite the quarreling Theresa and Theresis, with Lateran as the common enemy.And now...

To unite these social elites, as well as the Colombian capital and political circles represented behind them, the enemy, should we choose the military?

Wayne suddenly felt that maybe he really had some talent in this area?

He nodded:

"Give it to me."

Chapter 57 Rhine Life Never Fails

Columbia, Silicon Valley State, Rheinland Life.

The building where people used to come and go is now empty, and you can see everywhere the materials and reports that were thrown away when the group broke up.The depressed atmosphere enveloped the building with lights out, so that when Henry walked into the building again, he was in a daze for a moment, wondering if he came to the wrong place?

The words "Pay What you owe" were painted in big red paint on the walls. The dried dark red paint looked like blood stains, which made people daunting.If Wayne is here, he will be surprised. So Colombia will also use this method to collect debts?

Will they know the third one?Beat the gong, block the door, and shout the horn?

Henry sighed helplessly, pointed to the paint on the wall, and asked:

"Who painted this?"

Serena shook her head: "I don't know."

"Didn't the Ministry of Security stop them?"

"The Ministry of Security has been disbanded."

Serena replied truthfully:

"Not only the security department, but most of the departments of Rhine Life have been disbanded. Ms. Meines used her own savings to barely maintain the work of the technical department. The research materials and core data of Rhine Life over the past few years are not available. The fate of being deleted."

Henry was silent. He looked around at everything in the lobby of the administrative building. After a long time, he finally asked:

"Why did she do that?"

Celia paused for a moment. She also asked Miss Chief Administrator about this question when she received a call from Menes and went to rescue Henry.The lady in charge at the time replied like this:

"Mother protects her child, why do I need it?"

Perhaps for Chief Governor Menes, she has witnessed the gradual growth of Rhine Life from a small scientific society to a giant in the life science industry, which has a very special meaning to her.

Although the entire Silicon Valley, and even the whole of Columbia, are watching the jokes of Rhine Life, laughing at the stupidity of Rhine Life, and cheering for the collapse of the building of Rhine Life, but for the real construction of this building brick by brick For Miss Maines, there are some things that cannot be let go after all.

Colombia is a country that was born with betrayal, grew up with betrayal, and will eventually be turned into dust in history in the betrayal. But as Kelsey said, the bad nature of people is that they always like to impose personal malice on a country. group, and spread the malice of the group to the individual.How huge is a country, and how many people of all kinds are there in it?Some people are loyal to betrayal, but some people are always loyal.

"Like a mother protecting a child?"

Henry muttered to himself, his beard was trembling a little, and unconsciously, the corners of his eyes were also a little moist.Even as a grown man, when he saw the current decline of Rhine's life, he felt a little lonely and desperate for a while.The company has gone bankrupt and can be rebuilt, but the hearts of the people are cold, how can it be rekindled?

But now, he knew that besides him, someone else was sticking to it.Although the power is negligible, even a faint flame is enough to warm the whole heart in the cold winter.

While Henry was contemplating, Serena had already notified the governor that Henry had returned to the company.The lady in charge, who was doing her best to clean up the mess in the office, ran downstairs quickly after being notified, and finally showed a somewhat relieved expression when she saw Serena and Henry.
