Cosma Empire

In this world, as long as you have money, there is nothing you can't do. If there is, it must be because you don't have enough money.

Many people disagree with the above sentence. For example, some people will say that no matter how much money is given to him, he will not commit suicide, but he forgets that hiring a killer does not require "more money".

Perhaps someone will list more things, such as time.

In fact, those rich people have naturally acquired "more" time in the process of owning money. An ordinary worker needs to spend at least eight precious hours at work every day.

But rich people never think about spending eight hours doing mechanical and highly repetitive work, so can it be considered that they have eight more hours of free disposal every day than ordinary people?

Of course, this is a cruel and cruel society, and it really needs some spiritual anesthetics to make people at least less painful, which is also a manifestation of the mainstream values ​​of society.

Even if we are poorer than others, we are at least equal in certain essentials.

Only in this way, people will feel at ease to spend eight hours a day to create more wealth for the rich and give them more opportunities to own the extra eight hours.

Well, if that makes people feel comfortable with the status quo, then it's right, though not necessarily true per se.

In just two weeks, the "myth of wealth" in the Western Continent has caused a sensation in the entire empire society, especially some individuals who used to belong to the marginalized groups of society have also become representatives of successful people due to good luck.

When a middle-aged man saw Ken's familiar face on the TV he bought at a discount, his jaw almost dislocated in surprise.

There was an interview with Ken on TV, which was not long. Ken just briefly described his exploration process in the jungle. A very hidden altar was found.

The altar was covered by the turf, and there was no trace of it at all. When Ken rode past there, the horseshoe stepped on the edge of the altar and made a crisp collision sound. Then he found the altar and reported it to the gathering point guard.

Those people removed the altar and transported it back. After weighing it, they gave Ken a very fair price of 2.41 million imperial star dollars according to the gold content and total weight of the altar.

When he said this, Ken's emotions became very excited again,

For him, this is definitely an opportunity to change the fate of his life. It can be said that he has become one of the iconic figures of the new gold diggers.

When the host asked him whether he would choose to leave the Eagle's Mouth region and return to the empire to enjoy the happiness brought by his wealth, Ken gave a negative answer after a short consideration.

Not only will he not return to the empire, but he will continue to stay in the Eagle Mouth region and use the money in his hands to form an expedition team of his own.

So far, only eleven altars have been discovered in the Eagle's Mouth area, and only five of them were discovered by gold diggers.

According to the distribution of the altars discovered so far and the research on the aboriginal history, many people believe that there are at least 20 undiscovered altars in the Yingzui area.

If each altar can be sold for about 2 million, then this will be worth 40 million or more in cash!

At the same time, in addition to the altar, there are many open-air gold mines here. This is not an empire, nor is it the jurisdiction of Durin. No one can restrain them from mining those gold mines.

Non-ferrous metal groups such as Jindisi have also set up many recycling stations here early, and the days of gold diggers here are happier and more comfortable than in the western part of the empire.

Even fighting back against those cruel and savage natives, there are certain bonuses you can get!

This also prompted some gold diggers to actively and spontaneously search for indigenous groups to make sure that these people have not harmed the citizens of the empire.

Well, that's another story.

After some typical role models were set, the new gold rush finally broke out completely in the society, and many depressed young people embarked on a new journey with simple luggage after recruiting friends.

A primitive society full of gold, precious stones and unknown wealth, which has not been set foot by civilization, has not been developed, has become a factory that can print banknotes in people's eyes.

During this process, although the Colt Empire also submitted a formal diplomatic note to the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs through the ambassador regarding the security and peace of the Eagle's Mouth area, it did not make any progress.

No, it should be said that the Colt Empire firmly maintained the peacekeeping activities of the Empire in the Eagle's Mouth area of ​​the Western Continent, and through this diplomatic incident, it deepened trade with the Empire and became one of the new members of IFTO.

On the one hand, there are tens of millions of foreign trade orders, and on the other hand, there is a quarrel with the empire, and then the domestic unemployment rate rises, class conflicts are fierce, and civil strife may eventually break out. Even if the Great Pharaoh is out of his mind, he knows how to choose.

However, it is worth mentioning that after this incident, some armed forces of the Colt Empire also entered the Eagle Mouth area. Their purpose was no different from that of the gold diggers. Gold, gems, and slaves were all their goals.

In the official statement of the Colt Empire’s foreign ministry, these people were not recognized as Colts, and their identities were vague. It is said that even the Great Pharaoh’s personal guard lacked an organization.

Regardless of the turbulent international situation, the temperature in Yingzui area finally dropped a little in late September, from 39 degrees to about 33 degrees, which finally made some people dare to step out of the house and enjoy the natural scenery. scenery.

Ophelia, who returned from the Colt Empire, is very interested in Du Lin's current work, and sometimes helps Du Lin make suggestions.

Once Du Lin curiously asked Ophelia if she felt disgusted with her current work and life, because what he is doing now may be condemned by some moral people in some way. War is never benevolent, no matter what it is What is the starting point of this point, Du Lin knows very well.

To Du Lin's surprise, Ophelia's answer was not what he had imagined. She didn't feel too much about what happened in the Eagle's Mouth area.

In fact, this is closely related to the traditional elite education of the nobles. In the education of the nobles, they will make every offspring have a certain degree of aggressiveness and aggression.

Spreading the glory of the family and spreading the prestige of the family is something that almost every nobleman has in his bones, even Ophelia, who is like an angel, is not exempt.

Since childhood, the elders in the family, including her parents and elders, will continue to repeat the glory the family has won in history.

These honors are often related to war and conquest.

On a certain day of a certain year, a certain family was wiped out, or a certain area was occupied.

When the elders told these stories, they would never describe it as a fairy tale full of childishness. Its authenticity and cruelty will never be tampered with or whitewashed.

What is the truth, what is it when they recount it, the glory watered with blood is definitely not just a slogan!

It is the iron law for the nobles to obtain glory. Merit without blood will never be glory!

At the end of September, Ophelia left the Eagle's Beak Continent under the protection of the navy. She still has to go to school. The good news is that if nothing happens, she will be able to graduate next year.

After nearly three months of war, the day of the first partial decisive battle has finally arrived.

During his embarrassing escape, Kazhazan contacted all the tribes in the northern part of the Eagle's Mouth region, and managed to gather 20,000 indigenous fighters, some of whom were already equipped with relatively "advanced" semi-automatic rifles.

In fact, since the plan to introduce gold diggers to develop the Eagle's Mouth area, Du Lin has already considered the possibility that some modern weapons will flow out.

After all, facing the temptation of the real gold, silver and large gemstones of the aborigines, there will always be some gold diggers who will take risks and sell some weapons to the aborigines.

Even if every gold digger is a staunch patriot, it is impossible for the Colt Empire to do nothing. They may not be able to restrain the spread of imperial power in the Eagle's Mouth area and the Western Continent on the bright side, but they must do a little trick secretly There is no problem.

Therefore, some of these weapons are also obsolete or obsolete standard weapons from the Colt Empire, which also slightly relaxes the Colt Empire's finances.

The reason why these natives dared to concentrate their forces to fight against Luluhaduo was that in the two battles last month, the imperial army and Luluhaduo's guards fled directly because they were defeated by a large number of opponents.

This also gave them an illusion - although the enemy's weapons are very advanced and terrifying, they can kill these outsiders with their lives.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with their thinking. After the development of the gathering point, the number of troops available to Durin is less than 500. The reason for keeping the number of soldiers low is to avoid the Colt Empire from being too sensitive.

Together with Luluhaduo's guards, 20,000 people fought against 1,000 people, and they also mastered some advanced weapons. The result of this battle was definitely in their plan.

With such a decision, all the tribes in the northern part of the Eagle's Mouth area united and prepared to annihilate and expel Luluhaduo and the imperial soldiers.

It's just that they don't know that what really shines in modern warfare is not the most basic infantry and the automatic rifles in their hands, but war machines of various shapes!

After this decisive battle in a local area, it's almost time for Du Lin to go back.

The next thing is definitely not three to five days, it can be completed in ten days and half a month. An orderly, chaotic, and dangerous Eagle Mouth area is the most in line with the interests of the empire.

Neither unity nor outright disorder fit the requirements of this part of the Empire.
