The scene should be big, and the welcome personnel should be enthusiastic, but the most important thing is to ask questions and not know them!

This is the instructions given to the deputy mayor before leaving, which can be said to be very insightful.

No matter how bad the relationship between the aristocratic alliance in the Sambia region led by the Ottoman family has deteriorated to the extent that the two sides are still maintaining the most basic restraint and are not ready to take action. No one dares to fire the first shot rashly. What the Ottoman is worried about is that if he is anxious, he may be considered an ungrateful traitor. Although the nature of what they do is similar, this reputation is still very important. The government needs time to coordinate the refugee issue, and the army also needs to rectify it. It hopes to gain more time. Both sides seem to have reason to maintain restraint, and it depends on who can't stand it first to break the fragile balance.

But at least for now, the deputy mayor still has to greet the three mayors with a passionate smile, although their faces are not very good-looking.

"Where is Mr. Mayor? Sorry, it's not that I have any opinion on your identity. We came here with sincerity to discuss some cooperation matters with Mr. Mayor. Is this behavior simply an insult to us?"

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Mayor has other important guests to entertain today. It happened to be the same day as several of them. So I had no choice but to greet me. If you have anything you want to talk to, I told me that the mayor has granted me a certain amount of power in the morning and I can still handle most of the matters on my behalf."

The deputy mayor slowly responded to the three mayors' questions. Although the three in front of him were all mayors, the two sides were not the same system at all, so these three were not considered his boss, so they naturally had no pressure when speaking.

"The mayor has important guests. We understand that the others, why is Sergaunt a big harbor city? These are the only people in the government department?"

The station had been cleared long ago, but there were more than a dozen people standing scattered on the red carpet. In addition, there were all meaningless welcome teams. The loud and cheerful voice sounded a little harsh at this moment.

"Oh, there are few people. Look, the Minister of Propaganda, Personnel Bureau, Construction Bureau, and leaders of these departments are here? Everyone is so busy at work, so we should focus on work. Other important and hard-working leaders cannot give up their work casually."

"casual?"

Mayor Radoya frowned and asked, "Their status is beyond Mayor Sergaont," but a deputy mayor said in front of them that he did not receive them because he had an important job? There is a nonsense job!"

"Is it necessary to do this? We have no malicious intentions towards Sergaont. We just want a suitable negotiation time and place. Can't we even satisfy this? Is this your way of hospitality? The majesty of the three major families has not even been bought with a small port mayor?"

Mayor Ou Shelin felt that bringing the other two mayors to negotiate was already very favorable to the Sergaunt government. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see Sergaunt's dilemma. The inland was almost completely blocked by three major families. The entire Sergaunt's land combat troops were less than 20,000, which was almost the extent to which a group could defeat them by charging. No matter how powerful the naval warships at the port were, could they still aim the cannons on the ship at their own city streets?

In the eyes of the three major families, Sergaunt is already in his pocket. They only need to send someone to go through the motions and sign some agreements privately, so that they can easily hold the port in their hands.

But they overestimated the price they offered. The advance money led to the road to certain government officials, such as the Propaganda Department, Organization Department, etc., but can these people really speak in the government? It sounds like a minister, but the power in his hands is actually only a small amount. To put it bluntly, the reason why these people were bribed was largely because Qingshu didn't invest much in them at all!

The officials who are truly in the key department have been managed by Qingshu in the past two years. Not only that, Qingshu's large funding to Atwood every month and the semi-giant team that stays beside him are not for viewing. As long as they are people or forces who can speak in Sergaunt, they only choose two, or they accept Qingshu's money, and everyone will be friends in the future. Of course, you can also choose to refuse. Qingshu won't do anything to you for no reason, but don't let Qingshu's intelligence network collect information about you joining other organizations...

After two years of operation, the time is not too much, but the money is spent a lot. The three major families want to overturn the results of two years in more than half a month. Even if they dream, they have to tell the basic law?

Dingling ~

"Sorry, answer the phone and wait a moment."

The deputy mayor, who had already established a position, directly ignored the three mayors' eyebrows and glared, and went aside with his cell phone alone, while talking, while looking at the three people from time to time.

"What the hell is this guy trying to do? I'm not afraid that our three major families will kill them!"

He was almost at the sum of this year after the grievances he suffered in the past few minutes. I don’t know what others are like, Radoya’s mayor must be unable to bear it. He is ready to get in the car and go back at any time.

"What do you think? It's just finding a backer. I want to see who the mayor of Sergaunt was going to see today, so that a small deputy mayor can give us three of us."

Sergaunt's performance was completely different from expectations, and the mayor's attitude really made people think that there are no naughty people who can sit in a high position?

"The mayor is now welcoming the emissary of the Empire at the port. If the three want to go, there will be cars outside. If there is no intention in this regard, I will take you back to the town hall next."

"Of course we have to go, we are just trying to see someone who can make the mayor of Sergaunt care so much, let's go."

At this time, what the Imperial Envoy was sent to do? They had already predicted their own goals in advance and planned to let Sergaunt resist to the death. No matter what, even if they expressed their attitude, he had to go this trip, and it was necessary to let Sergaunt's leaders know their determination.

So the interview was skipped, and the group didn't even have the interest to shake hands and make a speech. After leaving the station, they took the government-prepared car and went to the Sergaont port.

"We will see the Imperial Envoy later. Our attitude..."

The three mayors were in the same car, and the driver was replaced by theirs.

"Speak just by having something!"

Mayor Ou Shelin is not in a good mood, so he is not in a mood to play a puzzle.

"I mean, we have not yet met the Empire. Will we maintain a certain respect for the Empire's messengers later?"

"Respect, you should be very clear about what our position is now. Why, it's all about this, and you still want to leave yourself a way out? I tell you, after choosing a team, be more peaceful, can you ensure that there are no surveillance personnel in our team? You also want to maintain respect... Take good care of yourself first!"

It would be fine if it were other people. They are the three major families that the leader of the Sambiya region faced against the imperial government. If their attitude is not firm, it will easily lead to some misunderstandings among the people below. The most taboo thing before the war is that people are uneven. At this point, they still want to maintain respect for the empires. It is simply stupid. You must know that when the war between the two sides starts, they will become the number one traitor!

"Mr. Mayor, here."

The car stopped at the port, and when you got off the car, you could see the crowd standing in the distance.

"Let's talk later and see the situation, and say less mistakes."

Buttoned on the coat, the sea breeze at the port area in January made the faces rubbed by frosted paper, which hurts.

"Mr. Mayor, the three mayors representing the three major families have arrived."

The deputy mayor walked in front of the report, and everyone here knew the situation at the upper level, so there was no need to modify the title. The crowd quickly turned to the team coming here.

"It's better to come sooner than you do, let's listen to the three major families' judgment on the future situation."

Kellot in the crowd smiled and said, surrounded by Sergaunt's senior officials. Yes, the mayor came to welcome him, to be precise, he, the emissary of the Empire.

The information that the three major families were going to attack Sergaont was transmitted to the Sambian regional government two days ago. After much thought, based on the principle that the enemy wanted was the struggle they wanted to stop, the government finally approved the proposal of the Affleck family and agreed to the only family that can help Sergaont control the harbor.

The same notice was also immediately passed to Sergaunt. In the internal meeting of the Sergaunt government, surrendering to the three major families was the worst option, which means that people from important departments would have a high chance of being replaced and losing their current status and interests, which is unacceptable to everyone. Of course, when they first learned that the Affleck family would settle in Sergaunt, these people also remained suspicious and hostile. For them, what was important was not who was to be the leader, but whether everyone's established interests would be lost.

At this time, it was Qingshu's turn to appear. A day ago, Atwood went directly to the mayor's residence. When he came out, the mayor personally sent it out. Then, leaders of several key departments of Sergaunt received a call.

What’s amazing is that the huge pressure that had originally shrouded the Sergaunt government disappeared invisible in this afternoon.

What else should I worry about? The head of the Affleck family is the leader of Qingshu. He made it clear that most people's positions will not change, and only some people who tend to be three major families will be kicked out, asking the government to prepare two lists, one is a traitor and the other is a successor with good abilities.

On one hand, there is an enemy, and he is likely to become a traitor against the imperial government in the future. On the other hand, he is an old friend who has been working for more than two years. Everyone has basic and basic exchanges of trust and interests. Anyone with a little brain knows who to choose.

"I wonder what the purpose of the three of you came to Sergaont this time? After all, our relationship may not be considered as a general one after a period of time."

Mayor Sergaonte is an old man in his sixties. He already has a lot of silver threads on his temples, but his eyes are still sharp. This guy was born in the Stoiano area and was active in the imperial political arena for a period of time. He was demoted to the local area because of corruption. He was not inferior to these three mayors in terms of momentum.

"Mr. Joseph, we haven't talked about anything yet, right? Everyone understands the current situation. Our three major families have made enough contributions to the empire over the years, right? Just because of a few words or two, they will be punished. This time, we want to make them understand that at least in the Sambiya region, we are the ones who are the ones who are the ones. There is nothing to cover up when it comes to this. As long as you are willing to give up the control of Sergaunt, the price will be available. We can completely let you go to other cities to be mayors. The cities of our three major families will be as good as you choose. Then, it will not be more comfortable than being in this place of right and wrong?"

"Oh? Then I have a good idea."

To change a city to be the mayor? This idea is really new.

"Tell me, look."

"I want to be the mayor of Oushelin, a lifetime system!"

"Don't go too far!"

If you want your own position, would you let him give up the position of Mayor Ou Shelin and run to become a mayor of a harbor?

"Ha! Excessive? If you know how much I got here, you won't think I'm overdoing it."

This old man Joseph is greedy for money. As for others, Aoki's bribes are pretending to be rude. When it comes to him, everyone comes, not only gold, silver and jewelry. Without Sergaont's other people, he also reached some agreements with Aoki to hold a small part of the shares of Aoki Consortium. Don't underestimate these shares.

After the fall of Cthulhu, the Aoki Consortium quickly expanded to the entire Sambiya region. Even Rahong had many branches next to it. It can be said that as long as the Aoki did not fall, even if the Joseph family only knew how to eat, drink and have fun in the next three generations, they would still deliver gold coins to their door every month. This made Joseph, like the Minister of the Ministry of Transport, a die-hard supporter of Aoki, just one was in the light and the other was in the dark!

"It seems that Mr. Joseph is determined to eat the weight. OK, I won't persuade you anymore, but there is something I have to tell you. Before I came, I asked the astrologer in the family what Mr. Joseph's recent fortune is. Do you know what she said? If you have a bad star, there will be a disaster!"

If you are unwilling to hand over the position, there are naturally other ways to make you give way involuntarily.

"It turns out that I am an upper class person. This threat is so elegant. What's interesting is that I recently asked an astrologer and he told me that I have many children and grandchildren in the future and I have a lot of blessings and longevity..."

Joseph's expression was as normal as the pressure from the three major families.

"Who said that?"

"I am not talented. I have taught myself astrology recently. Mr. Joseph's fortune will be better than the fortunes of the three of you in the second half of his life. I said this! There is no mistake in keeping it!"
