Chapter 987 Neutral Free Zone

"All have been arranged so well, will there be accidents?" Leo looked at Sylvia on his legs in surprise.
After returning to the hotel, Sylvia had a good time after tiring up, she teased Little Toran, and then lay on the sofa in a position she felt very comfortable. Leo rested her head on Leo's legs, and carefully said what she had done and the results she had done these days.
When she mentioned that there were three accidents in her plan, Leo also showed surprise, because the intelligence information was provided by him, and he knew very well that as long as the intelligence information was carefully deployed based on the intelligence information, there would definitely be no loopholes. However, now Sylvia said that the men and military personnel under her deployment and the military had all encountered accidents when they arrested three very important traitors, which really made Leo feel a little puzzled.
"It's a mutant." Sylvia sighed, explaining the reason.
Without exception, these traitors were all mutants with extraordinary power, and their power was far superior to ordinary mutants. Even when Sylvia saw the report back, she suspected that these three accidents were not mutants, but full family members.
"But it doesn't matter." Sylvia chuckled again and said, "Although it was not possible to perfectly catch all those guys, the main purpose has been achieved. At least in a short period of time, the country can be purified for a period of time." As she said, she changed the topic in a jumping manner, saying, "How about we redecorate and renovate this hotel?"
Leo looked at Sylvia in confusion, not understanding why she suddenly moved to this topic.
Sylvia explained: "The property rights of this hotel have now been handed over to me. It is one of the Earl of Maupassant. I looked at the accounts of this hotel and found that this hotel has been in losses for many years. If it were not for other functions, it would have been bankrupt. Now it has become our industry. It is definitely not possible to continue to operate according to the previous loss-making method."
"How are you going to remodel?" Leo asked casually.
"This is not considered yet." Sylvia shrugged and said, "What do you think?"
"Kapu City itself has no specialties. If it weren't for the war, it wouldn't have been developed into a city. In the past, because it was a front-line material transit station, the Empire regarded it as the center point for collecting kingdom intelligence. It was not a wrong decision to build a high-end hotel. But now a ceasefire agreement has been signed. As long as the power of both sides is not the kind of lunatics born for war, the war between the two countries is almost impossible in a short period of time, and even if it occurs, it will be a small-scale conflict. So a high-end
The hotel is really unnecessary here." Leo carefully analyzed the situation, thought about it, and said, "The location here is not bad, not far from the border two countries, and the developed Kingdom Railway passes through it, and the infrastructure is also very complete. If you can win from the Kingdom's top management to classify the city into a neutral duty-free area, then you can convert the hotel into a large hotel integrating casinos and entertainment, which should become a profitable industry at that time."
"Neutral duty-free zone?" Sylvia heard such a thing for the first time, but she quickly understood the meaning of the word literally. Then she thought about it carefully and found that Leo's proposal was indeed a good idea. However, she thought about it not only about this hotel, but how much benefit the entire Capu City could gain in the neutral duty-free zone.
Now the gray fog shrouded on the sea will not be known when it will dissipate. In the Black Forest, Sylvia asked the Nature Walker specifically for this matter. The Nature Walker did not give an accurate answer, but said that the world's transformation will end after it is over. According to his opinion, it may take at least a few years.
Because of the existence of gray fog, marine trade naturally stopped. Even in the offshore areas, gray fog will move to the shore from time to time due to the ebb and flow of tides. Once it is wrapped in the gray fog, it will be difficult to get out. At least there are less than thirty of the thousands of gray fog accidents recorded in the United Kingdom. Therefore, now sea transportation, even offshore transportation, has stopped, and only the inland rivers have not been affected.
In this way, at least in the past few years, road transportation has become the main transportation channel. However, due to the war, the roads and railways between the United Kingdom of Flan and the Flan Empire have been destroyed, and it is impossible to recover in a short period of time depending on the situation.
Although Kapuja is not the closest city to the border between the two countries, it is the terminal of the Kingdom Railway Network closest to the Fran Empire. Moreover, due to wartime reasons, it has complete warehouses and freight facilities. If the Empire and the United Kingdom want commercial exchanges, the geographical location of Kapuja becomes very critical.
During this spy purge against the empire, a large number of powerful people in Capu City were dismissed, and most of the industries left over from these dismissed powerful people fell into the hands of Sylvia. This is not because these industries are of low value, but because other cities have cleared spies and the industries harvested by them are more valuable. Those who share cakes in the United Kingdom are more willing to get those sweeter cakes.
Now, although Sylvia does not hold any public office in Capu City, she has mastered nearly 70% of all industries in Capu City, including warehouse management and transportation.
Once the civil commerce of the two countries begins to normalize, then Capuja will inevitably become one of the barriers for trade between the two countries. At this time, if Capuja has special conditions for a neutral duty-free zone, then it will definitely become the center of trade between the two countries. As the actual controller of the city, the benefits she can obtain will be beyond imagination.
Thinking of this, even Sylvia, who didn't care much about money, couldn't help but increase her breathing, and even couldn't help but sit up from the couch and walk back and forth in the living room for several rounds.
However, she quickly calmed down and began to consider how to carry out this matter. After repeated consideration, she found that it was difficult for her to take over the benefits of this matter by herself. She probably needed to give up a large part of the benefits to do something.
Although the senior executives of the United Kingdom have not yet thought about the normalization of trade between the two countries, once the senior executive of the kingdom brings up the concept of a neutral duty-free zone and promotes this matter, it will definitely attract the attention of the senior executives. At that time, let alone a person with extraordinary wisdom like Rupert Fitz, even ordinary senior executives may have predicted the huge benefits contained therein.
In the following days, although Sylvia did not leave the hotel, she summoned all her staff from the intelligence department to the hotel, and regarded the suites on the top floors of the hotel as an office, and began to deal with matters within the intelligence department and applications for neutral duty-free areas.
However, for these United Kingdom intelligence elites, the most important thing during this period is not to adjust the internal affairs of the intelligence department, nor to compete for power with another intelligence department facing the kingdom, nor to continue to strengthen the infiltration of the empire. They have also paid only one thing most attention to in recent times, that is Leo, the Englishman who came out of nowhere and took away their minister's heart.
These United Kingdom's intelligence elites are also very outstanding. With the identity of Leo Ying, and his appearance, they found the archives and information that Leo had contacted Sylvia in the past several times.
However, after seeing these information, they became even more confused, because the number of contacts between Leo and Sylvia was very limited, and the total number was less than five times, and the time was very short. No matter how you look at the two of them, they could not have any feelings for such a short contact time.
Therefore, they could only doubt what happened to Sylvia and Leo on the Minsk continent, which led to the rapid increase in their relationship and finally got together.
But this matter was quickly questioned because the birth time of Toran was not matched, and Sylvia showed no sign of pregnancy when she appeared in the northern part of the Fran Empire a few months ago.
As a result, the time when Leo and Sylvia fell in love, the time when Toran was born, etc. became the investigation projects that Sylvia and his subordinates had invested the most energy recently. This incident even attracted the attention of senior officials of the United Kingdom. They all devoted themselves to the investigation through their own methods and personnel.
The investigations of Sylvia's subordinates are more because of their curiosity. After all, Sylvia has a high position, powerful ability, and power is one of the top people in the kingdom. Naturally, there are many suitors, but she has never seen her show any favoritism for any suitor abroad. Now she has inexplicably had an Inger lover, which is enough to arouse the curiosity of anyone who knows Sylvia.
Compared to Sylvia's subordinates, the investigations of senior officials from all the United Kingdom of Flan are obviously more utilitarian.
You should know that in the eyes of the vast majority of kingdoms, Sylvia is definitely not just a senior official of the kingdom government with outstanding capabilities and real power. Sylvia is also one of the few hereditary nobles in the kingdom. His title is also the highest and has hereditary fiefs. The huge benefits contained in it are enough to make anyone moved.
If Sylvia had no power, she would have become the mouths of some greedy people, and if she had such great power and wealth, she would have long been the food of some greedy people. Unfortunately, Sylvia had extraordinary power and cruel means, and she had destroyed several ill-hearted kingdom nobles early on, giving everyone a warning to her, so that she could firmly control the industry in her hands.
Just like this time, even though she was in the Minsk continent, the sea passages had been blocked by gray fog, no one of her own industries in the United Kingdom dared to intervene, and no one of her subordinates dared to have a cross-border idea. This is the true manifestation of her ability and prestige.
For the powerful and powerful in the United Kingdom, although they cannot intervene in Sylvia's industries, as long as Sylvia has no descendants, then the industries, titles and fiefs under Sylvia's name are as empty as mirrors and waters, and these industries will still be very likely to fall into their hands.
Therefore, some people with ulterior motives think of often sending off disgusting suitors to make Sylvia disgusted with men, and even encourage Sylvia to become the Count of Maupassant, engage in daily socialization, strengthen its masculinization, and thus cut off Sylvia's offspring.
Sylvia easily saw through the ideas of these people, but because these people's actions were in line with her wishes, she did not do anything, but instead let it go, which made those who were interested feel that their plans were successful.
But what these people never expected was that Sylvia just traveled to the Minsk continent and brought back an Ing lover who had not held any wedding oath ceremony, and also had a child with this Ing lover.
Although this child is an illegitimate child and has some criticism of his identity, even the Fran Empire has admitted that the illegitimate child has the right to inherit more than a hundred years ago, and the United Kingdom will naturally not deny the inheritance rights of the illegitimate child.
Therefore, the successor of Count Maupassant who had been idle has now appeared in front of everyone, and those who are determined have failed for many years of planning and expectations.
After years of planning, it will naturally make those who are interested in it feel angry. However, Sylvia's identity and power are very special. They dare not do anything to Sylvia, but Leo, the Englishman, naturally became the target they target.
Every day, Sylvia was able to receive dozens of reports about someone investigating Leo's identity investigation, and every time she came to Leo one by one, laughing while chanting, as if she was telling the funnyest joke in the world.
Originally, this was just a topic of conversation between Leo and Sylvia after dinner. Neither side took this matter seriously or thought about what to do. But what happened later angered both Leo and Sylvia, which made Leo decide to do something to stop those small movements.
This thing that annoyed Sylvia and Leo was actually very simple. A killer sneaked into the hotel and wanted to assassinate Toran. When Leo discovered and caught, he decisively committed suicide by taking poison. Moreover, the poison was so fierce that even Leo could not even cast a spell to treat him.
However, even if this man died, Leo had a way to force him to find out the information he wanted.
"Leave this to me..." Sylvia said with a gloomy face as she looked at the killer's body. It seemed that she should have the idea of ​​a major cleaning.
