Cosma Empire

"Sit anywhere!" There are many chairs and round tables on this platform for fishing, but there are no parasols. The climate in the valley is very pleasant, not as hot and humid as the coastal cities outside, and the brutal sunshine is also very mild at this time. Occasionally, a gust of cool wind blows, wrinkling the surface of the lake and cooling people's hearts.

Du Lin chose to sit at a different place, and there was another chair between him and the old man. The old man glanced at him, smiled and shook his head, "In my impression, you are not such a well-behaved person!"

The old man didn't hide that he had consulted Du Lin's information, and he didn't have any thoughts of looking down on Du Lin. This is also the biggest difference between the Federation and the Empire. Strictly speaking, in the past many years, only those who could not get along in the empire would come to the "Business Alliance" at that time. Noble place. The people here can be said to be "free people". The status of free people is lower than that of citizens and higher than that of slaves. In the eyes of nobles, free people are actually similar to slaves, that is, untouchables in the eyes of nobles.

No matter how many generations his ancestors went back, he had never been aristocratic, so he naturally would not have the innate arrogance and pride of nobles. He didn't care about Du Lin's background at all, and valued Du Lin's resume more. From a farmer's son to a young handsome man who built an empire, apart from chance and coincidence, it was more due to Du Lin's own ability.

Some people, and still many people, regard Du Lin's success as luck, as the needs of the situation to create a hero, but these people will never understand why they have no luck, why they are not selected when the current situation requires it. The "pawns" at the front desk can only secretly envy and hate some conspiracy theories that may exist but are more resentful to explain the coincidence of other people's success and the reason for their own failure.

Du Lin smiled, thought for a while, and replied, "You are an elder and an elder. Regardless of our respective achievements, what I respect is your age, experience and experience that have been baptized by the years, and nothing else!"

The old man also laughed, and he pointed to Du Lin, "The way you compliment others is very special, but it sounds interesting. Is this saying that I am old?" After speaking, he couldn't help laughing, " This is the first time someone respects me because I am old, not because I am rich, or I have power, you are a very special person, Doolin. You are different from many things in this world, I am very curious, how do you Can you see through so many things and find the most correct direction?"

Perhaps some of the things Du Lin has done over the years may seem to be that he did something wrong and chose the wrong route, but no matter how he chose in the past, looking at his current achievements, you will know that those seemingly The wrong choice is actually the most correct one. Might not fit the needs of the situation in the first place, but the continued power of these choices affects the future, correcting what seemed like a possible mistake in his early selection.

Moreover, Du Lin was very bold, and he didn't follow the rules at the beginning. The old man was very familiar with the strict hierarchy of the empire. Magus directly abolished the hierarchy after he came to power, but the hierarchy still exists in the social system, perhaps not as obvious as in the past. But it exists after all. There is an invisible barrier between classes, and the existence of this barrier is to prevent more people from occupying the small space on the top floor of the tower. In fact, the same is true for the Federation, but there are fewer ways to promote in the Empire, and it is more difficult.

But this young man was bold and used an unusual method to break down barriers, quickly completed the initial accumulation, and entered the upper class of the empire. Every decision he makes plays a vital role in these processes, which is what the old man is most curious about. A person can succeed many times in a row.

But it is absolutely impossible not to fail every time. Obviously Du Lin is an exception. He wants to know how Du Lin did it.

Everyone wants to be successful, and so is he.

Du Lin said a few words modestly, and then said in a seemingly low-key, but actually very confident tone, "Do you want to know my secret?" The old man nodded, and he said jokingly, "I can see through the long river of time, see through See the future through the fog!"

The old man froze for a moment, Du Lin thought he would laugh and say he was talking nonsense, but the old man actually started to think. In fact, Du Lin also has something similar to a blind spot, that is, his constant success, never failing, has made some people feel curious, and even has an indescribable feeling in his heart, as if what he did was right. Otherwise, how could he continue to be successful without failing once? People are eager for him to fail once to break the myth that he never fails, and let him step down from some altars and return to ordinary.

But at the same time, these people don't want him to fail, because as long as he doesn't fail, he is like a lighthouse. His behavior, his actions, and his thoughts tell people what the future will be like, and how to follow this trend .

This is also the reason why Mags can tolerate and tolerate his nonsense many times. In addition to being very capable and thoughtful, so far, those seemingly nonsense things have not only brought no serious consequences, but have caused Magus Si has a feeling of entering a new world through a dark and narrow tunnel, and everything suddenly becomes clear.

He colluded with the navy, whether as a businessman or as a new party, this is a taboo. But Magus just let others take care of him, because the navy gained a lot of benefits in the process of colluding with Dulin and these businessmen like Dulin. The empire does not need to allocate a penny to the navy to maintain the navy's expenses, including updating equipment and a small number of military exercises, which alleviates the embarrassment of the empire's financial constraints.

It seems that the empire has completely lost its connection with the navy, but don't forget that the soldiers of the imperial navy are citizens of the empire, and their families are citizens of the empire. They have lived in the empire since childhood, even now consciously An atmosphere of alienation was formed, but in the event of war, the navy would still defend the empire. Moreover, the military department and the navy have been in secret contact for some time. Since the turmoil in the west, several senior generals of the Ministry of Defense and the navy have reached some opinions...

Speaking of the Special Zone of Odis, because of Durin, Magus approved the special zone as an independent administrative region with special significance. Facts have also proved that the five special zones have solved a lot of troubles for the empire, not to mention the small troubles. Major issues such as taxation and finance have made breakthrough progress. The five special zones pay at least two billion stars in taxes every year, which was unimaginable in the past, and even Magus was shocked.

The things he makes seem absurd and nonsensical, but they can always bring about some changes, some ideological changes and progress, and this is the most important thing. While Mags watched him, he also hoped that he could make more contributions.

People are paying attention to him, believing in him, and even have a trace of admiration or fear, but he himself is not so clear. From Du Lin's point of view, he just did what he should do, it's that simple, what he did was not a big deal to him, decades of experience in the dream made him understand very clearly that this There is still too much difference between the world and the world in the dream! So he subconsciously ignored one point, the things that may be ordinary in the dream are impactful and transformative to the backward world of reality, and they are things that can change the country and even the world!

After pondering for a moment, the old man asked, "You said just now that you brought destruction and hope. What did you see here?" His tone gradually became serious. He wouldn't really believe Du Lin's words, but at the same time There is also a hint of worry.

The federation is currently in the most important period, and if an accident occurs, it is very likely that the federation will be devastated. Those juniors in the family seemed to be very shrewd, but most of them hadn't experienced some big storms, so it would be difficult to take over his position in the future. Peace does bring people something to rejoice in, but it also makes something stupid!

Once a huge change really happens, he is old and may not last long, so what will the Federation do? What about the family? What about the cause that our ancestors have struggled for generations?

The speakers of the Federal United Parliament are almost all facing the same problem. They are born too well and their status is too high. Now children are born with golden spoons in their mouths. They may have their own successful careers, but these things are based on the principle that their elders are the speaker. They don't need to take a penny. If they say they have an idea of ​​starting a business, capitalists and consortiums will immediately invest in them, because their elders are the speakers. When encountering some principled issues, even if there are some small mistakes, others can tolerate them, and even the law can bypass them, because their elders are the speaker.

How can he be called a warrior who has not experienced life and death, and how can he inherit this heavy responsibility and shoulder the heavy responsibility of supporting the country?

Du Lin licked his lips, "Destruction, I saw destruction. The false prosperity of the current financial market has laid the foundation for destruction. Only one person needs to stand up and expose this false lie, and the Federation's economy will collapse!"

The old man nodded noncommittally, "Keep talking!"

"I know that the Federation is currently committed to building the strongest economic empire in the world, and wants to make the Federation Shield the mainstream international settlement currency, so it must create an appearance that the Federation is extremely powerful in terms of finance and economy. The financial system supports global trade and financial circulation, and the Federal Shield will become an international settlement currency."

"But have you noticed? The federal government, including the capitalists of the federal government, is too eager. No matter how tall a building without a foundation is, it only needs a slight wind to blow it down!"
