"The people who came to seek livelihood from Sder and Monlego all suffered unfair treatment. They thought they could live a good life by escaping their miserable hometown and traveling to the Old South. However, the Dunman government did not want to see them even more.
A new conscription law was promulgated and they were mercilessly pushed onto the battlefield," Verak said.
Keating flipped through the newspaper carefully: "So you want to help them?"
Verak explained his thoughts: "If no one in the Old South Testament or even Dunman is willing to stand up, then I will. But our task here is to regain control of gold. Before this is done, I will not
It will be involved in other things. What I mean is that Boss Xin and his local gangs are in fierce conflict with foreign gangs, and foreign gangs need to absorb fresh blood, and the fresh blood is directly recruited by the government to serve as soldiers. We should be involved in this.
space.”
"This move by the government will be of great benefit to the local gangs. If things go on like this, the impact on the local people in the Old South will become weaker and weaker, and the resources taken by outsiders will be greatly regained, and the government's problem of replenishing soldiers will also be greatly alleviated.
." Keating foresaw the situation in the Old Southern Treaty a few years later, "Although this is cruel to the Sder people and the Mongolian people, it has to be said that it will be harmless to Dunman."
"Foreign gangs are certainly not stupid and will not sit back and watch their own people being slowly expropriated by the government."
"Of course, they will do something."
"I don't know much about these gangs. I don't know their behavior style. It's difficult for me to put myself in their shoes and think about their response strategies." Verak did not dare to speculate and turned his attention back to Keating, who was thinking deeply. "What do you think?
How should they deal with such a threat?"
Keating read over and over the contents of the newspaper about the new conscription law for a long time: "Forbearance."
"Why do you say that?"
"Gang disputes have been poisoning this city. The government has just ended the civil war. If we want the economy to develop rapidly, it is best to take advantage of the situation and solve the gang problem." Keating frowned, looking at the complex situation in the Old South.
Feeling a headache, "But the gang is so deeply rooted that it is almost impossible to eradicate it. All they can do is to weaken the gang as much as possible. Xin Zheng
Once the Art of War came out, it actually had an impact on both locals and outsiders, but it had a greater impact on outsiders. As for why the outside gangs chose to be patient, it was because if they resisted, it would just give the Tun Man government a legitimate reason.
Eliminate them. If they don't move, Dunman will not openly come out forcefully and offend two neighboring countries after just solving the internal hidden dangers."
After listening carefully, Verak had a clearer understanding of the matter. He sat next to Keating and said, "Then do you think they have no other option but to be patient?"
"Not yet, or I can't think of it." Keating put the newspaper away, looked directly at Verak and shook his head, "The timing of the Tunman government's promulgation of the new conscription law was very clever. They chose the time when the civil war was over, and the army was not in urgent need of manpower.
time. In this way, even if they recruit troops, they will not recruit many troops, and there will not be a large-scale backlash that is beyond their control. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the Sder people and the Monlego people to be tough, and they can only be soft and soft.
Save."
"I was thinking that if I couldn't buy Quinn's Tavern, I could use this background to benefit from the fight between the foreign gangs and Boss Xin and the others," Verak said.
"If we really have to use these means to take back Quinn's Tavern, then we can really consider using these methods."
Verak understood: "I will contact Boss Xin and the others again in the afternoon to see if they are willing to sell it."
"You decided to go by yourself?" They hadn't discussed the matter in detail yet, and Keating didn't know why Verak made the decision to test the store in person.
"Well." Verak had figured this out in the morning. "Originally, I was thinking that if your friends were still there, we could ask them to come forward, but now it seems that we don't have much power to draw on, so we went out to find someone who was short of money.
We can’t fully understand the situation within the time limit, so it’s safest to go it alone.”
"But you've already gone there in the name of repaying your father's kindness, and the next day you went there and said you wanted to buy the tavern. The logic doesn't make sense."
Verak said "hmm" and thought for a few seconds: "There are only two situations. If Boss Xin and the others don't know about gold, as long as my bid is high enough, who will care who I am? If they
Knowing the secret of gold, my two consecutive visits will definitely arouse their suspicion."
"They'll kill you on the spot," Keating warned.
This place is completely different from Blissi. Gang fights on the streets are common. If Verak is seen by Boss Xin and others as someone who wants to pay attention to gold, he may not even be able to leave the tavern.
Verak put the gun on the table: "Self-protection is no problem. As long as I leave the pub, we can start preparing for our new response plan."
"You want to join forces that are hostile to Xin and others, intensify their conflicts, and then find an opportunity to control the gold?" Keating realized why Verak did this even when he was in danger and could easily break up.
"Yes. Since I can't buy it and they doubt me, there is no need for us to waste time and just take advantage of the situation to provoke conflicts with them." Verak's idea was very straightforward.
"But if they introduce another force when they know about gold, the situation will be very chaotic. If you are not careful, the news of gold will leak out, and by that time, the entire Old South Testament will be eyeing Quinn's Tavern.
"Keating was worried that if something went wrong during the execution of the plan, they would really miss out on the gold.
Verak said no more.
This method is the best solution he can think of at the moment.
If Keating agrees, he can do it in the afternoon. If Keating disagrees, there must be a reason to persuade him to stay put.
"It's still too hasty." Keating sighed, "This plan is not completely unfeasible, but things haven't reached the point where we have to go this way. In my opinion, we can find other ways. In fact,
No, I’ll just do as you say after I’m fully prepared, muddy the water and act as the opportunity arises.”
"Then what do you think we should do next?"
"First, let's clarify the power structure, and then have a clearer understanding of Quinn's Tavern." Keating said, "To put it simply, we have too little information, and we should investigate more now."
"Okay." Verak followed Keating's suggestion, "Then I will walk around in the afternoon to understand the situation."
Keating stood up: "Let's arrange it this way. Okay, let's go have lunch."
