After such a conversation, the cooperation seemed to be settled, but in fact it was still quite unstable.
Because Verak they still don't know who is behind Gonzalez.
If you don't know enough about your partners, it will be difficult to control the entire plan, and you will become passive.
Of course, Gonzalez is not much better. He also has no clue about the details of Verak and others. He cannot see to what extent the International Equality Alliance has laid out its plans in Montrego, and he wants to do something in the chaos next.
What.
Both parties are eager to know more at this time in order to better judge the situation.
"Tell me what you want to talk about." Verak waited for the other party to ask first.
"I like to be direct, so I asked directly." Gonzalez did not refuse, and simply said, "What do you, the International Equality Alliance, want to do when you come to Monlego?"
"You can guess my identity, so you don't even know what the International Equality Alliance does, right?" Verak raised the corner of his mouth.
"Okay, let me put it another way. Your International Equality Alliance wants to help the suffering civilians gain equality and live a better life. So how do you plan to achieve this in Monlego?" Gonzalez asked again.
road.
Verak looked at Gonzalez with a smile for a few seconds, and then said: "Do you think I will tell you this information?"
"You have to ask to find out." Gonzalez was not surprised at all by Verak's attitude.
Basically, the question he asked was to inquire about the layout and development plan of the International Equality Alliance in Monrego. With such important information, the possibility of the other party telling him that he was a casino owner was infinitely close to zero.
But he did not compromise on this.
"I wonder how well your International Equality Alliance understands the situation in Monrego City?" Gonzalez said.
"What?" Verak waited for Gonzalez to get to the point.
"Now that the International Equality Alliance has taken root in Monrego, it must be clear that Monrego has been torn apart. The city of Monrego can maintain its current dignity because of the mutual checks and balances among the warlords. Once the balance between the warlords is broken, Mongolia will
Lego City..." Gonzalez's attitude became much more candid and serious.
"Of course we know this. As the largest and most prosperous city in the Monrego Empire, Monrego City's value is simply immeasurable." Verak had a clear understanding of the basic situation. "Every one of the warlords wants to occupy Monrego City.
, but no one is sure that they can hold it after occupying it, so they tacitly chose not to take part in Monlego City until the victory was decided."
Gonzalez smiled, took out his exquisitely packaged cigarette case, handed one to Verak, then took one and lit it himself: "The biggest warlords must be thinking this way, they
They all feel that sooner or later they will become Monrego’s new
The emperor naturally did not want to see the fine city of Monrego reduced to ruins in the war. However, those small warlords did not have such a far-sighted view. They did not take action against Monrego City because they were afraid of angering those who did it at the same time.
The warlord leader with big dreams."
Verak looked at the cigarette that Gonzalez handed him. There was nothing unusual about it. He didn't think Gonzalez would do anything in the cigarette, so he started smoking: "So?"
"It's a bit off topic." Gonzalez unknowingly seemed to be a lot closer to Verak. He waved his hand and explained what he really wanted to communicate, "What I want to say is, those few who really care about Meng
The warlords of Lego City seem to have not taken action against Menlego City, but in fact they have secretly sent people to infiltrate all walks of life in Menlego City."
"If what you want to say is these things that are really not secrets, then you can stop. At least you don't have to waste your time and mine anymore." Verak said with a slightly impatient look, pretending to have known about it for a long time.
"Of course it's more than that -" Gonzalez took a puff of cigarette, hesitated before he was about to speak again, and tilted his head back slightly. The two thugs understood and exited the office, "Don't worry, those two are mine.
Confidants, they will not spread the conversation just now."
"Since they are confidants, why do you let them out now?" While Verak felt amused, he also realized that what Gonzalez was going to say next was by no means simple.
"I'm not afraid that they will know, but I'm afraid that it's not safe here." Gonzalez specially arranged for the two most reliable people to be on guard outside, and even the other thugs had to be on guard.
"You are not afraid of hearing through walls when it comes to the International Equality Alliance. Now I am starting to wonder what you actually know." Verak's curiosity was aroused.
He was the only one left in the office facing the people from the International Equality Alliance. Gonzalez did not feel uncomfortable at all: "You just said that you also have questions to ask me. I guess you want to know my background."
Verak quite likes to communicate with smart people, even if the other person is not his companion: "That's right."
"Porfirio is my uncle," was all Gonzalez said.
As Gonzalez expected, Verak, Murphy, and Connie were all shocked. They first doubted whether it was the same name, and then confirmed from his confident face that the Porfirio he was talking about was Monrego.
The commander of the only guard regiment in the city.
This person was also briefly included in the list of cooperation candidates by Verak and Murphy yesterday, but considering that he is more powerful than Gonzalez and is truly a big shot who can dominate the city of Monlego with his force,
The risks of cooperation far outweighed the feasibility, so they were eliminated.
"It's normal that you don't know, because very few people in the inner city know about this. And I can get to where I am today, of course, without the help of my uncle, and I will also give him a large share every month." Gonza
Leisdao.
Unknown secrets surfaced.
One uncle and nephew are responsible for providing shelter, and the other is responsible for running black business. I don’t know how much profit they have made over the years.
"Your uncle is in charge of the Monrego government. The only armed forces in Monrego must be the people that the major warlords want to win over, right?" Verak roughly understood what Gonzales had taken such a big detour.
What do you want to say.
"Yes, especially during this period, those warlords visited my uncle every day and promised him that as long as he secretly surrendered to him, he would have countless power and wealth in the future. But you, the International Equality Alliance, should know how powerful these warlords are.
The reliability is really pitifully low. It cannot be said that it is a good decision to go to any party, but the situation is forcing us to make a choice as soon as possible." The emergence of the International Equality Alliance was a bit too coincidental for Gonzalez.
The one hundred and fifty thousand gold coupons Carranza owed him were nothing compared to the situation his uncle was facing.
Now that the International Equality Alliance can achieve a win-win situation with Carranza and save Carranza, it can also try to achieve a win-win situation with their uncles and nephews and pull them out of the predicament.
"You want to join the International Equality Alliance with your uncle?" Verak understood.
"As long as the conditions are good enough, we can win together." In Gonzalez's eyes, the International Equality Alliance is much stronger than these warlords who are still fighting among themselves, and its roots are far away in Bressy. After joining, it can gain both
With a strong backer, he would not be too constrained, and he might still have hope to defeat the major warlords in the future. Their uncles and nephews would take advantage of this opportunity to rule Monrego.
Verak was not in a hurry to express his position, and rarely needed to take time to think carefully.
Corps Commander Porfirio and casino owner Gonzalez are uncle-nephews, and their intention to join the International Equality Alliance is both good and bad.
The advantage is that Verak and the others are weak in Monrego. If they get the support of the Guard Corps, it will be equivalent to taking control of the city of Monrego. This will greatly enhance their hope of changing Monrego and shorten the time required for Monrego to change.
time.
The disadvantage is that they were forced to join the International Equality Alliance due to the situation. They were not attracted by the idea of equality or infected by the feats of their comrades. This kind of surrender is simply cooperation, and they regard the International Equality Alliance as a tool for use. Even if it is an agreement,
If this happens, the two sides will keep an eye on each other and secretly compete with each other, and there is a huge possibility that it will gradually become a drag on each other.
In addition, there is one more troublesome thing.
The International Equality Alliance that Verak said has been in Monrego for a long time was a lie to Gonzalez. After they cooperated, the team of only eight people could easily expose the true situation, and everything would become uncontrollable.
.
"Unable to cooperate." Murphy stared at Verak. He believed that Verak understood how many problems there were without having to elaborate.
"Letting these people who don't really agree with the idea of equality to join us will cause big trouble." Connie thinks that Verak should firmly refuse now.
"This matter is not that simple. We have been exposed now. As long as we refuse to cooperate with them, we are obvious enemies." In order not to make Gonzalez suspicious, Verak's expression and tone remained the same as before.
State, "This is their territory. If we are exposed and hostile to them, the situation will quickly deteriorate."
Murphy was speechless: "...What should we do?"
"We can only agree first, extend the time available for us to operate as much as possible, and then discuss countermeasures." Verak smiled at Gonzalez, "Tell him that we welcome the Guard Corps of Monlego City.
Joining, it's just that according to regulations, this matter needs to be reported to the top, and the people above will make the final decision. He can also take advantage of this time to discuss some things with his uncle, and prepare for a cooperation that will basically have no surprises.
Prepare accordingly.”
"Understood." Murphy translated truthfully to Gonzalez.
"Is it so happy?" Gonzalez asked.
"There is not much time left for Mongolia City. At least I am happy to see this kind of win-win situation. As for how to surrender and the detailed arrangements for surrender, the people above have the final say. There is no need for us to waste time now.
It's just empty talk." Verak found an excuse without changing his expression.
Gonzalez looked very happy and did not seem to have any doubts about Verak's words and performance: "I will bring this good news to my uncle. So, is it necessary to do the charity dinner?"
Carranza, who stood nearby and did not dare to make a sound, could not find the courage to interrupt at all this time, and watched with trepidation as the two forces decided their future.
Verak pretended to hesitate and muttered: "Let's do it. The two things have no influence on each other. If we continue to do it, we can also lay the foundation for our trust."
"Okay, I will do as you say, and I will cooperate with Carranza in a show to make everyone think that Carranza has paid off his debt." Gonzalez had no objection.
"I, I will definitely make the charity dinner big enough! Raise more funds!" Carranza breathed a sigh of relief and promised.
"Then let's have dinner with my uncle at noon?" Gonzalez invited.
"You can eat at any time, there is no rush for this day. I will contact the main station first and report your matter. Once the matter is settled, I think our meal will be very solid and enjoyable."
Luck rejected Gonzalez, then stood up and extended his right hand.
Gonzalez stood up immediately and stretched out his hands to hold each other's hands: "That's fine, it won't be too late to wait until we get the results."
"Then let's leave first. As soon as there is news from above, we will go to the casino to find you." Verak obviously wanted to leave the inner city as soon as possible, but on the surface he still had a feeling of reluctance, which made people easily feel sad.
Trust said, "Caranza, you already know how to organize the charity dinner. If there is no other important matter, prepare it as soon as possible. Don't wait for the outcome of the warlords' fight outside."
"Okay, okay." Carranza couldn't wait to do it now.
"Then I will deal with Carranza's trouble first and look forward to our next meeting," Gonzalez said.
"Looking forward to meeting next time, no need to send them off." Verak stopped Gonzalez and Karraza at the door of the office, then led Murphy and Connie through a group of thugs and left the newspaper office.
Murphy opened the back door for Verak and Connie first, and after the two sat in, he got into the driver's seat and started the car.
"No one followed them out." Connie secretly paid attention to whether the newspaper office sent anyone to follow them.
"Don't take it lightly. Murphy, don't rush to the exit of the inner city. Let's go around the inner city first." Verak ordered while leaning on the back of his chair.
"Understood." Murphy turned the car around and drove in the opposite direction.
After the car turned a corner and disappeared from the sight of the newspaper office, Connie, who had been paying attention to the tail, thought: "Comrade Verak, what should we do next? Cooperation is not possible, and non-cooperation is not possible. Is it possible to withdraw?"
Are you leaving Monrego City?"
"I don't know, let me think about it." This problem is very difficult, and Verak couldn't find a reliable clue for a while.
"The situation shouldn't be that bad. Verak's words can't buy us two or three days. Once the two or three days have passed, we will pretend to agree to cooperate. It won't be a problem to deal with it for another four or five days. A week is enough to wait for the charity
The implementation and distribution of the dinner party has been completed. We got the money, helped the children, and had no other important things to do. We can hide away temporarily and look for other development opportunities." Murphy wanted to follow the trend, but no matter what, they couldn't really do it.
To cooperate, we must also obtain the money from the charity dinner.
