In the luxurious reception room on the top floor of the Santoro Hotel, the hook-nosed man visiting was Schmidt, the representative director of Sonia's "Punk Trading".
While chatting with Lu Ming, Schmidt tentatively asked Phraye Li if he still had any intention of selling Emerald Island.
Governor Chachai seemed to have completely collapsed, but unexpectedly, "Phaye Lee" became friends with Mayor Basong. He was invited to the dance by Mayor Basong, and he also personally intervened in the dispute between the state tax bureau and the Emerald Island.
dispute.
"Phraya Lee" was introduced to the celebrities attending the ball by Mayor Basong. Compared with the "Lee Phraya" that people used to call him casually, the meaning seems to be very different.
Now the state tax bureau has withdrawn its application to ask the High Court to rule that the Emerald Island "Free Trade License" issued by Governor Chachai is invalid.
Schmidt took a sip of coffee and said seriously: "Dear Li, you should know that Mayor Bassong is just trying to win over everyone he can. After he has passed this difficult time, he will become a new person.
He has become the most influential person in this land, but he and his family have never been friendly enough to the people of Central Continent!"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Now, if you, Mr. Schmidt, are willing to invest 200 million yuan, I am willing to transfer the ownership of Emerald Island to you. You can still pay in installments. You will pay 100 million yuan first, and the rest will be divided into 100 installments.
One million yuan per issue."
Schmidt laughed and said, "Li, you don't want to trade it, right? Well, let's change the topic. When you want to trade it in the future, I can talk to you at will."
Lu Ming smiled: "As far as I know, Mayor Bassong will expel all citizens of your kingdom who have not invested in Antiguala under the pressure of the imperial capital. This is the greatest goodwill he has shown to your country despite the pressure of the imperial capital.
Moreover, the Imperial Capital specifically mentioned Punk Trade, believing that your company has an official background and is a tool for your Kingdom to expand its influence abroad and collect rare strategic resources for your Kingdom. Therefore, Mayor Bassong hopes that you will do so as soon as possible.
Complete a relatively large investment, so Mayor Bassong will be willing to take the risk for you."
After a pause, Lu Ming said: "For Punk Trading, I will definitely not leave here, and I don't want to invest in a hurry, so it seems that buying my Emerald Island is a good choice." He smiled slightly, "Actually, you know
Why did the state tax bureau withdraw the charges against the Emerald Isle trade license? Why did Mayor Bassong give you conditions to complete a large investment as soon as possible?"
Schmidt was startled and stared at Lu Ming, "You mean, you and Mayor Bassong signed a secret agreement for the ownership of Emerald Island? Mayor Bassong owns a share of the ownership?"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "I didn't say that." He picked up the teacup and tasted the tea.
Schmidt couldn't sit still and stood up, "Dear Li, I'll take my leave first!"
Lu Ming stood up with a smile, "I'll give it to you!"
…
On September 6, in the Jiawang area of the Ferman Peninsula, a fierce battle broke out between the Northern Ferman armed forces and the armed forces supporting the Basong family.
The Guards Brigade is also among the tribes that support the Basong family, but it is used to guard logistics and so on.
After all, Mayor Bassong would naturally be worried if he stayed in Fellman.
After several days of fighting, the two sides were originally in a state of anxiety, but a tribal armed force in Northern Fairman suddenly rebelled.
The war situation soon developed in a direction favorable to Basong's armed forces.
On September 15, the day when the Basong Armed Forces won the victory over Amiwang, Lu Ming and Schmidt formally signed a contract in the business center on the top floor of the Fairman Plaza Hotel.
The two of them each gave in, and Emerald Island was sold to Schmidt for 100 million yuan, but there were no more installment payments. At the same time that the agreement was signed, 100 million yuan in imperial coins was transferred to Phaya Lee's account at Baoyin Bank.
Schmidt inquired and found out whether Mayor Bassong had any shares in the Emerald Isle. However, it was certain that Baron Smith, who came from the imperial capital, had obtained 10% of the shares.
After an emergency meeting, Punk executives informed Mr. Duke and decided to complete the deal.
Mr. Duke is the second prince of the Empire and Privy Councilor to His Majesty the King of Sonia.
When he considers problems, he naturally stands tall and sees far.
…
On September 21, the Basong armed forces who invaded the North Ferman area were ambushed.
Basong's armed forces, who thought that the Northern Fairman tribe had lost all morale and lost their fighting capacity, suffered a heavy loss.
It turned out that the armed forces of the Apaiwang and Onshawa families in the eastern region joined the fighting.
Although they were disappointed, the Northern Fermen people did not expect that their mortal enemies, the Onshava family, would come to support them.
On the 22nd, the city of Fairman suddenly erupted in gunfire.
The First Brigade, which was blocked in the military camp, somehow obtained weapons and launched a rebellion.
A fierce battle ensued with the Basong family's armed forces who stayed behind in Ferman.
The First Brigade controlled by the Chachai family is known for its prevalence of corruption. The military atmosphere is extremely bad and its combat effectiveness is even weaker.
It would not have been too difficult for the remaining force of the Basong family to defeat the first brigade, even if the opponent had obtained a large number of weapons.
Who knows, countless speedboats arrived on Fairman Beach, and thousands of inland water bandits rushed into the city.
These water bandits are not afraid of death. They are all tough men who have experienced numerous life-and-death battles in the inland sea.
No one expected that these water bandits were actually the reinforcements of the First Brigade.
The battle in the city immediately reversed.
The gunshots everywhere gradually subsided late the next night.
Speaker Pamavinai, who was under house arrest, gave a radio speech, announcing that the military coup launched by the Basong family had been crushed and that the mayor of Basong committed suicide in fear of crime.
Baron Smith then briefly said a few words in the emergency broadcast, expressing regret that Antiguara State had used military operations to interfere in politics again and again, but believed that this was an internal matter for the citizens of Antiguara State and could be resolved through negotiation.
The water bandits who suddenly landed and played a key role in the civil war in the city were some kind of "Freedom Army" organization. They seemed to be armed forces owned by hundreds of free merchants in the inland sea who gathered together to participate in this dazzling political situation.
change.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!...
The meeting hall of the official residence of Speaker Pama Vinai was filled with people of all religions.
There are Baron Smith from the imperial capital, Justice Chatissa from the Basong family, Apaiwang who represents East Ferman and members of the Wengshawa family representing Kunpa and Sugino, and West Fermansuri.
Long La, the member of parliament representing the Ya family, and Zaren, the representative of the Inland Sea Free Merchant Alliance.
There is also the heavyweight Congressman Bakun, who represents the interests of the major drug lords in the inland sea.
The deputy governor, Emil, is a Yasia with a tall nose, deep eyes, and fair skin. There are millions of Yasia in Antiguara, scattered on the most remote islands in the sea, but the governor will definitely appoint a Yasia.
He is the lieutenant governor, but he is just a decoration.
Even though the election in question has always been a matter of the Fairman Peninsula, Inland Sea Islanders are not eligible. Even residents of the Fairman Peninsula, the qualifications of voters are strictly scrutinized. In fact, there are only more than 30,000 legal voters in the state.
If the rest of the peninsula residents want to exercise their right to vote, they need to pay 100 yuan of imperial coins to the citizen-financed election fund.
No one will spend 100 yuan to cast an election vote that will have no effect at all.
As for the Yasiya people, since they are all inland islanders, they are not even qualified to vote with 100 yuan.
Next to Amir, the deputy governor of Asia, is Willow, the director of the state police.
Willow represents an old family in the central Fairman area, and the police force has basically been on the sidelines during this series of changes.
Ticha, the commander of the first brigade, represents the Chachai family.
Imperial Bank Antiguara State Representative George.
John Glenn, chairman of the "North Bay Group", represents a small number of Western businessmen with a transcendent status.
In addition, it is Phaya Lee and Chen Huanxing, the president of Zhongzhou Chamber of Commerce.
Justice Chatissa, who was born in the Bassong family, is a gray-haired old man, but he has always glared at Speaker Pamavinai.
Because the latest news came out that after Mayor Basong was controlled by the Free Army, when Speaker Pamavinai went to see him, he took out a pistol and executed Mayor Basong.
Speaker Pamavinai announced to the public that Bassong committed suicide just to cover up his atrocities.
Today, the northern region is in a state of truce. The Basson family's armed forces are still very effective, and their power in the southern region of Ferman is even more deeply rooted. If the Basson family and its staunch allies must be uprooted, the Northern Alliance will also have to pay.
A terrible price.
Usually conflicts between tribes on the Fairman Peninsula end at the drop of a hat. This time, it was already the most brutal fight in a century.
The main reason is that Mayor Bassong is too ambitious. If he had won a great victory in Amiwan and overwhelmed the Northern Fermans and ended the war instead of continuing to march north, the outcome might have been very different.
"Speaker Pamavinai, there are rumors outside that you killed my nephew. I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation." Justice Chatissa stared at Pamavinai with eyes full of grief and anger. The old man is old.
His temper is even more fiery.
On the Ferman Peninsula, the battles between the major families and tribes have never been so decisive.
Pamavinai was a little embarrassed. That day, he didn't know why his brain was short-circuited, and he was very angry. It seemed that a voice kept telling him, kill Basong! Kill Basong!
"Judge Chattisha, can you believe that I did such a cruel thing? Mayor Basong committed suicide!" Pamavinai sighed.
Lu Ming also sighed softly in his heart. Bassong is a very capable person, and in a sense, to the Mitai people of Antiguala, he may be an outstanding leader seen once in a century, and even more
The ambition to unify the Ferman Peninsula and completely shatter the tribal armed separatist model.
But it's a pity.
"I will investigate clearly. No one can hide the truth forever!" Judge Chatissa snorted coldly.
"Let's listen to what Governor Chachai is saying, right?" Representative Kunpa said from the sidelines.
On the radio was the voice of Governor Chachai. He was expressing his views on the current situation in Antiguala. He was also extremely sorry for Basong's death.
In fact, what he said is irrelevant to the people sitting in the chamber today.
Listening to his words on the radio, even Ticha, the commander of the first brigade, had a look of indifference.
The governor was chattering away. Everyone was making their own plans, and no one was paying attention to what he was saying.
“I very much support Mayor Basong’s initiative to restore the traditional culture of Antiguala, such as restoring the status of our Antiguara Phya family as the guardian of the state. Mayor Basong hopes to do it step by step, with Phya as the leader.
Deputy Speaker, but I think we can go further."
After a pause, Governor Chachai sighed deeply: "Now, I announce that I, Chachai Zonglawimon, officially resigns as the governor of Antiguara. At the same time, I hope that the Phaya family can serve as supervisors.
Organize and establish an election supervision committee to supervise the next general election in the state and ensure the fairness and justice of the election. I also hope that this system can continue to eliminate the too many political differences among us Antiguans and help our backward people.
Tribal politics will have a very positive impact."
Representative Bakun, who was very close to the radio, got up and turned off the radio and said: "What else are we listening to? If it weren't for him being a coward and making the decision to escape, there would be bloody conflicts between our tribes.
, completely avoidable.”
Ticha, commander of the 1st Brigade, raised his head and said, "Congressman Bakun, I think Governor Chachai's proposal is a good one."
Ba Kun didn't bother to pay attention to him at all. If it weren't for the fact that the Chachai family had no representative, this guy, a simple-minded fool, wouldn't be able to sit here.
"I don't think it's good enough!" Councilor Sugino from the Onshava family in the east of Ferman mused, and added: "The Phaya family was originally the ducal family of our Autonomous Dominion of Antiguara. When the Phaya family was in power
, There has never been such sharp opposition among our tribes. Our chaos and divisions are largely due to the lack of a spiritual leader that everyone respects..."
Before he could finish speaking, Congressman Bakun sneered: "You're not proposing that Phaya Lee be the spiritual leader of all the Mitai people in Antigua, are you? That's really a big joke, Phaya Lee doesn't have a trace of it.
I don’t even have the Mi Tai bloodline. The title of Phaya is said to be a marriage, isn’t it just bought with money?”
Representative Suginor smiled and said: "But the sons and daughters of Phaya Lee will have the blood of the Phaya family. Moreover, you have misunderstood me. I want to propose that while the Phaya family organizes a supervisory committee for this election,
It is also time to legally restore the transcendent status of the Phraya family. We have become a civilized desert without a proud historical heritage. Barbarism and violence are everywhere. All of this is because we abolished the Phraya system.
It has torn our tribe apart. Of course, we are not talking about going back now, but when the election is over, the new parliament can fully discuss this issue."
Congressman Bakun frowned, wanted to say something, and then sneered: "I think there is no need for me to refute such a ridiculous proposal."
