Chapter 2533

In the face of Fang Zheng's inquiry, speaker McDowell was silent for a long time, while Ellie looked uneasily at her grandfather. Fang Zheng stood in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside the window with a smile, as if he didn't care at all.

In the end, speaker McDowell spoke.

"You Why do you do that? "

"It's simple. I need a piece of land."

“…………… Why

Perhaps founder's answer was so direct that speaker McDowell didn't respond for a while.

"Sorry, I don't quite understand you..."

"I mean, I need a piece of land to carry out my next plan, but now the sphere of influence of this semria continent has been decided, and I can't even find a piece of wild land. At this time, I suddenly found that, ah, there is still a crosberg Then I came here, investigated the history of the land, and communicated with the people here. Then I found that it was very suitable for me to carry out the plan. That's why I wanted to help crosberg become independent. "

"So, you mean, you want this land?"

"Yes, that's about it."

Fang Zheng nodded.

"I want this land to become an independent kingdom like ribel. It's really interesting. Compared with crosberg, the land area of liebel is not too large, but it has been recognized by the Empire and the Republic and stands on the continent as an independent entity. On the contrary, crosberg looks like this. I think that's why Ellie went to study in ribell. "

“…………… Ah, um... "

Hearing founder's inquiry, Ellie was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"So you got the answer?"

"I

Ellie lowered her head and clenched her teeth.

"I think I know the answer. Liebel was also invaded by the Empire, but when it comes to the hundred day war, the liebel people are full of pride and pride. They are proud that they can defeat the invasion of the Empire and protect their territory. Although there were sacrifices, they resolutely protected their homeland

Speaking of this, Ellie can't go on. In other words, she has actually seen the gap between Klose bell and libel.

“……… Although crosberg is more prosperous and more important, we lack such spirit Grandfather, we don't have any pride. We're just talking about how we have wealth and how we get attention. However, we don't have the pride like the liberians, the pride that the nobles, the high-ranking people and the most common people have all along. "

"And this kind of thing is not to be asked for."

Fang Zheng turned his back and looked at the old man.

"You can buy land, honor, beauty and even life with money, but you can never buy pride. Because pride is not something to say, it needs to be defended with blood, with indomitable spirit, and never give up faith, as well as blood and corpses. The latter is the most important. "

"But I can't do it."

Speaker McDowell shook his head slowly.

"We want to protect the people of crosberg. We don't want them to fall into conflict and destruction."

"That's why I say that."

Fang Zheng snorted.

"You see, in the final analysis, this is crosberg, who is afraid of death and destruction, and therefore chooses to bow his head and become the slave of others. Since they are all slaves, whose slaves are you not? At least I can guarantee that I will be a better master than the Empire and the Republic. "

“…………………”

Speaker McDowell clenched his teeth, his hands on the desk clenched into fists.

"So you want to be a king, a dictator. This anti democratic approach is wrong! "

"Democracy? I'm surprised that you have the face to talk about democracy? "

Fang Zheng laughs.

"For the sake of prosperity in front of you, you let the atrocities of the Empire and the Republic go, and let the innocent people of crosberg suffer in it. But you just lowered your head and said like ostriches," nothing can be done. You can use their pain to exchange crosberg's peace. Now you talk about democracy with me? About mistakes? "

"This is most crosberg's......"

"It's just the tyranny of the majority."

Fang Zheng coldly interrupted speaker McDowell.

"The upper beam is not right, and the lower beam is crooked. You, the leaders, pretend to be blind with your eyes closed all day long. What else can the people below do besides pretend to be blind like you? Can they stand up and overthrow your rule? Speaker McDowell, what you want to do is one thing, what you have done is another. Unfortunately, I will only evaluate one person by what he has done. "Said here, founder picked up the cup again, and then shook it to Ellie, who quickly picked up the teapot and poured another cup of tea for founder.

"Do you know why I came here to tell you this? Speaker McDowell? "

“……… I'm confused, too. "

Speaker McDowell seemed to have gradually regained his composure. He looked up at Fang Zheng.

"With your ambition and your strength, you can wait until you become a member of the crosberg Council. I don't understand why you say that at this time. Are you not afraid that I will stop you from becoming a member of Parliament, and at the same time I will tell others what you have said? "

"Ha ha..."

Fang Zheng took another sip of black tea and looked at the night scene outside the window.

"It's very simple. I'm not afraid."

“………………… Why

"Do you know, Chancellor McDowell? Now, after IBC was acquired by starlight technology, the financial circulation of the whole crosberg area is completely controlled by starlight technology. In addition, our tourism and food processing projects in almerica village and the secondary development of Kuangshan town in Mainz have been completed. Now, the residents of these two places are almost working in starlight Technology. We have also funded the police force and the crosberg police department. It can be said that all the work and activities of crosberg will stop tomorrow as long as I give an order. "

Speaking of this, Fang Zheng turned his head and looked at speaker McDowell.

"In this case, is it important for me not to be a member?"

"You, you..."

"Please don't talk like I'm up to something."

Fang Zheng sighed as he looked at the red face of speaker McDowell.

"I'm not that idiot of Dita. I have to do something sneaky under the table. Every investment of starlight technology in crosberg has been approved by the City Council and signed by speaker McDowell. Your memory will not be so bad."

Speaking of this, Fang Zheng looks at Ellie.

"Now, Ellie, you have to remember that a political entity can never allow capital to intervene in the political field, otherwise it will become like this. That's me. To tell you the truth, if a despicable and obscene guy comes over and says that he wants you to be his lover, I guess your grandfather can only nod his head. Do you wonder now why the crosberg Council didn't think of that? "

"Ah Mm-hmm.! "

At this moment, Ellie is also in a mess. Listening to Fang Zheng's inquiry, she nodded subconsciously, while Fang Zheng shrugged her shoulders.

"It's very simple, they don't have that kind of consciousness at all. Everyone is thinking about how to make a profit from it. After all, you see, every investment of starlight technology can not only solve crosberg's urgent need, but also bring a lot of taxes and profits to the City Council. Naturally, they have no reason to disagree. But in other words, they don't care how much control a huge capital entity will have over crosberg, and guess why? "

"Er This is

Ellie now feels as if she is standing in the classroom and being asked by founder in public. However, in the face of this problem, Ellie seems to have no answer. However, at this time, Ellie suddenly thought of something, in front of a bright.

"Is it..." Empire and Republic? "

"Yes, ten more."

Fang Zheng snapped his fingers.

"As you said, crosberg is nominally an autonomous state, but in the final analysis, it is still a slave of the Empire and the Republic. Their idea is that the land is managed by the Empire and the Republic anyway, so even if starlight technology does something extraordinary without them, the Empire and the Republic will take action to suppress us I'll go down. At that time, they may be able to wave the flag and shout, and have a share in it. "

Said here, founder couldn't help laughing.

"Ha ha ha ha, isn't it interesting? On the one hand, they don't want to be slaves. On the other hand, they expect their masters to make decisions for them. Maybe they think they are very clever and can play with the Empire and the Republic at the same time. So I said that these people can't support the wall with mud Ha ha ha

Hearing Fang Zheng's words and merciless sarcasm, Ellie's face turned pale. She turned her head and looked at speaker McDowell.

"Grandfather, is that really what Mr. Fang Zheng said? That's why the crosberg Council didn't do anything? "

“…………… "Ah

Speaker McDowell may not answer founder, but he can't answer his granddaughter. He sighed and nodded.

"Yes, but what can we do? We don't have the powerful guiding technology like ribel, and the strength of the Republic and empire is so strong that even if we want to change something, we can't do it.... ""That's true."

Fang Zheng put down his cup and nodded.

"If you lack strength, you can only bow your head. If you have the first time, you will have the second time. In the end, you will become a servant who bows and bows. You will never get up again."

"It's easy to say that you don't know how powerful the Empire and the Republic are..."

"So in the final analysis, the big fists have a say."

Fang Zheng waved his hand and interrupted speaker McDowell again.

"I'm not a fool either. Since I dare to say that I want crosberg, I naturally have enough strength to fight against the Empire and the Republic. I can assure you that I have enough power to protect the whole of crosberg. Otherwise, I would not stand here and say that to you, speaker McDowell

As he spoke, Fang Zheng looked at McDowell again.

"The so-called ruler is to protect his territory and people, isn't it?"

“………………… I don't know. "

Speaker McDowell sighed a long time. He was sitting down in his chair. The conversation with Founder made him very tired. It was a brainstorming. In McDowell's view, everything founder said was wrong. He wanted to be an autocratic ruler and rule the land. In McDowell's view, it was unacceptable.

But He had to admit that what Fang Zheng said was also reasonable. After all, today's crosberg is also subject to the interference of the Republic and the Empire. Moreover, if founder really has enough strength to fight against these two countries

"What about your decision? Speaker McDowell? "

"I There's no way to make a decision. "

"I guess so. After all, I'm old and think a lot."

Fang Zheng was not surprised by speaker McDowell's reply.

"But fortunately, there are still young people. Maybe you old people think that this is the end of your life, but for young people, they still have the right to yearn for the future."

Speaking of this, Fang Zheng looks at Ellie.

"Ellie, I'll stay in crosberg from tomorrow to prepare for my next plan. You can come and see if you're interested."

"Why?"

Hearing founder's invitation, alighton was stunned.

"Really? Mr. Fang Zheng? I'm not sure what I'll say... "

"Ha ha, I'm not going to do anything shameful. Although I won't advertise it everywhere, since I have said it in front of speaker McDowell, it shows that I'm not afraid of others. I'm not that idiot of Dita. I have to hide things and pretend to be smart. But in the final analysis, is it because of lack of strength? "

Fang Zheng put down his tea cup and nodded to them.

"Well, it's getting late. I'll leave now. You can think it over. By the way, Ellie, the tea is good. "

With these words, Fang Zheng turned and left the study, leaving only Ellie and speaker McDowell speechless.
