Cosma Empire

Woodland State is a large industrial state in the south of the empire near the middle. If you want to describe this state, it is more like the transformed Nami Lindes.

After the end of the Civil War, the first governor of the Woodland State fought against all opinions in the reconstruction work and vigorously developed the industrial base. For more than a decade, the Woodland State has been lagging behind in the economic development of all states in the empire. in other cities.

A large amount of infrastructure construction cost almost all of the state government's budget, and borrowed a lot of money from the society, so that in Woodland State, you can always see things like "John's Road" and "Luther's House" and so on. Road names and place names.

The capitalists generously donated their money to obtain the right to name roads or regions, and the state government and local governments have benefited a lot from it. What's more interesting is that the state capital of Woodland State is called "Herlagas", which is The name of the largest industrial group in the Woodlands State.

They bought the right to name the capital of Woodland State for 1.65 million. This business is obviously very cost-effective. A sum of money allowed their group name to be permanently engraved on the map of the empire, and even on the map of the world.

Fourteen or five years ago, the complete industrial infrastructure finally began to see the light of day for the entire state. That would be the critical moment when Magus adjusted his direction, began to develop the imperial economy in an all-round way, and started the battle for the revival of the empire.

A large amount of infrastructure work in the entire empire has begun in full swing, and Woodland State, which has been ahead of others, has passed the construction period and is beginning to enter the harvest period.

Even now, Woodland State is still at the forefront of the empire when it comes to the completeness of the industrial base and supporting facilities, and the variety of light and heavy industries.

During the ten years of Governor Holmes of Woodland State, it can be said that Woodland State has been raised to a higher level. As an outstanding member of the new party, Holmes, who was born as an aristocrat, was thirty-eight, nine years old and four years old. At the age of ten, he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility and took over the responsibility of governor of Woodland State from Magus.

In fact, this is not such an easy job to complete, because the previous governors of Woodland State have developed this week to a very good point, if the successors cannot create more and greater brilliance on their basis , then it will be seen as a performance of incompetence.

Under such tremendous pressure, Holmes resolutely took over this somewhat hot position, and completed the entrustment to him by the new party and the cabinet at work.

If you don't compare the pure financial industry alone, the development of Woodland State ranks second in the southern cities, second only to Corvelis, which is one of the states bordering the Federation.

This level and speed are enough for him to give people a satisfactory answer, so starting three or four years ago,

He has been planning to participate in the election for the vice chairman of the new party committee, and has already begun to implement it.

If Magus hadn't arrived at the right time to retire, helped Bowers to become a full-time member, and arranged for Dolly to be the vice chairman, it is very likely that Magus would choose Holmes to be the vice chairman of the party.

He has a wealth of work experience, and it is a successful work experience that is recognized by people, and he can completely suppress some voices in the party. He is just fifty years old this year, and he is old enough and just right.

But it is a pity that Magus's sudden announcement of retirement disrupted his plan, so he had to wait for a while.

Duhring immediately realized that Holmes was his direct competitor. Maybe Holmes also saw the current crisis of the new party and realized that a tough person needed to stand up to rectify the current atmosphere and situation in the party.

No matter who this person is, as long as he succeeds in doing it, there will inevitably be a leader, or even a prime minister.

So he has already started active activities, and contacting Odegar is only his first step. Once he is allowed to enter the ruling layer of the new party committee, it is estimated that Dulin will have nothing to do.

A person who has worked in the New Party for so many years, his connections and audience in the New Party are definitely beyond the reach of Du Lin.

Your Excellency the chairman reminded Du Lin that if he really wants to work hard, he must do so as soon as possible, because his opponent has already appeared.

Facing this opponent, Du Lin felt a little headache while looking at his information, because this opponent was completely different from the opponents he had to face in the past.

He uses some super-class methods when dealing with those small characters who don't appear on the stage. No one cares about how the little people are doing and whether they have grievances. The big people don't care at all.

Being wronged means that the organization values ​​you and is testing you. This little grievance is unbearable. How will you carry out work on behalf of the organization in the future?

But the problem now is that Holmes' status has been out of this stage. If you want to move him, you can't use those unsightly methods, you must defeat him from the front.

It is actually not difficult to defeat an enemy politically, or all enemies are not difficult to defeat, as long as the weaknesses and loopholes of the opponent are found, but Dulin has never communicated with Holmes before, but Holmes Perhaps Du Lin has long been regarded as an enemy.

Otherwise, he would not choose to come to the capital to meet with the Chairman immediately after he participated in the monthly regular meeting. Do you really think that the governor's job is so leisurely?

If Holmes was to be defeated in an open and honest manner, it would take a long time just to collect information.

After thinking about it, Du Lin called Eric. He just got a credit for Mr. Pete adding a blinding credit to his credit book. There is no reason not to pay for it.

As a five-star politician with ideals, aspirations, bottom line, integrity and sense of social responsibility, Du Lin has always believed that equal and friendly transactions are a necessary condition for maintaining harmonious relations between the two parties, none of them.

If any party violates this principle, it will inevitably lead to conflicts, and eventually lead to a win-win situation and a double-lose situation.

After Eric connected the phone, he chatted with Du Lin. The line of the Military Intelligence Department itself is an encrypted line, and in addition to the encrypted line above the governor level used by Du Lin, it is impossible for anyone to monitor and record.

The politics of terror has historically been disliked by everyone, from those in power to those who wait in dormancy.

"I want information about Holmes. By the way, ask Mr. Pete if he knows anyone or something related to Holmes or Woodland State." Dulin went straight to the point as soon as he came up.

If you want to say that there is still a department in this country that knows these politicians very well, then it must be the Imperial National Security Council and the Imperial Army Intelligence Analysis Operations Office. Their powers can detect the secrets of some officials to a certain extent, but not It goes too deep.

Just like Dulin, they didn't check it again and again, they also checked the files of a room, so Eric must have Holmes' file in his hand.

Secondly, Mr. Peter, as the envoy of the Earth God Sect, the influence of the Earth God Sect in its heyday has long since left the west and spread to the entire empire. Outside the west, there are still various secret activities in the name of the Earth God Sect. , it is inevitable that some people in Woodland State will be corrupted by the earth god religion.

As long as there are these clues, it is not difficult to find Holmes' weakness.

In society, there will always be some ignorant masses who look at all affairs with conspiracy theories, so that they are often deceived by a small group of enemy agents with ulterior motives and make wrong actions.

Many people say it's a conspiracy when something they don't understand happens, for example, when an official is suddenly suspended from work and under review. In fact, how can there be so many conspiracies?

The side that an official or a public figure shows to the bottom of society is always his best side. Even if some bottom of society are unwilling to believe what they show, there is no evidence that can break their lies .

But for people at Du Lin's level, it's really too easy to find out who made a mistake. It only takes one phone call and one instruction, and hundreds of people will go to collect various evidences for him.

This is not a conspiracy, it's just that everyone's level is different.

Eric knew that this matter would be difficult when he received the call from Du Lin. He didn't know what Du Lin wanted him to do when he first answered the phone, but what else is needed for Du Lin's current status? If he does it, it must be a bad thing to do.

After Du Lin finished his request, he felt even more embarrassed. The Military Intelligence Department did have some files of Holmes, but access to these files required the signature of the inspector.

In other words, no matter whether he asks others to check it or checks it himself, as the highest official of his department, his name will definitely be included in the signature.

It would be fine if nothing happened. Once something happened, he would definitely be implicated, and it would also involve Pete, an important prisoner.

Pete's arrest can be said to be the biggest successful case of the Military Intelligence Department in recent years. Eric encountered several waves of armed attacks during his return, and there may even be people from the Security Committee and the Rose Knights among them.

Why is he so important, because he holds in his hands the deadly evidence of hundreds of thousands of politicians and tycoons in the western and southern political circles, and these things are even enough for the imperial cabinet to set up a special department for this purpose to take care of the information.

In the end, the Military Intelligence Department cooperated with the Ministry of National Defense to mobilize an army wing from the Central Military Region, and then Peter was properly taken back to the Military Intelligence Headquarters.

Now even if it is Eric, the hero who "personally" captured Pete, it is very difficult to meet Pete alone. It needs layers of review before they may be approved to meet alone, or someone will Accompanied throughout.

The two things Du Lin said were troublesome, which annoyed Eric, but he couldn't refuse firmly.

Whether it is the previous transaction or the current transaction, he is on the weak side, although he gets the most rewards.

Once Du Lin intends to break up with him, Du Lin will not have any problems. Judging from these transactions, Du Lin does not have any violations of laws and regulations. On the contrary, it can be said that he has made meritorious service.

Whether it revealed the foothold of the Freedom Front in the west and let them slaughter these slaves, or later fed Eric and other information to him, it can be said that Dooling actually reported the problem he knew to the right person. .

It can even be said that Eric has no fault in this. He did not let these criminals and illegal activities go because of his own selfishness, and even wiped out these criminal forces, if he did not hide some problems.

After thinking about it again and again, Eric still tried to refuse Du Lin's request with some lack of confidence, because it really made him embarrassed, "Du Lin, if I can do it, I will definitely help you immediately, and I also hope that our The relationship is more harmonious, but you know, some of the things you asked me to do cannot be completed so easily and smoothly, you have to understand my situation."

After he finished speaking, he was a little lucky, and waited for Du Lin's answer with some anxiety. About ten seconds later, Du Lin's voice came from the phone, "I am a very reasonable person, and I rarely let Others do things beyond their own capabilities, so no one has ever rejected me until now."

"If you mean that you can't do it, you can't fulfill my request, you can tell me the answer loudly and directly, 'I can't do it' or 'I refuse', we are friends, there is no need to put simple The problem is complicated, and I will not have more consideration because of your free decision."

"So what is your choice, Eric, tell me the answer directly!"

Eric suddenly fell silent, and his mood became worse, because Du Lin was threatening him, but he couldn't find any sentences or words that might threaten him from Du Lin's sentence, but He knew that Du Lin was threatening him.

Faced with Du Lin's threat, Eric realized that he was not as tough as he imagined. In a trance, he seemed to see his partner who fell on the ground and was beaten into a sieve, and the person who killed him was Du Lin's. people.

If that guy doesn't die, maybe he and his wife are very much in love, and he has no chance, he will have a child, and then he will slowly rise up the ranks, and finally he may be the top executive of some office before retiring .

But all of this ended with those bullets, no one would remember him, and no inscriptions related to his real work could even be written on his tombstone.

In the eyes of most people, he was just a salesman who traveled frequently, and then died in an accident in the West.

After about a minute of silence, Eric opened his mouth, and his lips that had lost moisture stuck together, making him feel a little blocked when he opened his mouth to speak, "I... can try, but I can't Make sure I succeed."

"Of course, of course, my friend, I won't blame you even if you fail, and I'm sure you will succeed, right?"

Eric said with a wry smile, "I hope it's..."

"No, it must be!" Du Lin replied very quickly and firmly, "You are the best person!"
