Chapter 1799: 16. No region exists (14)

The gang has only fought for its own survival, and there is no doubt about this.
Underworld, bandits, bandits, pirates, smugglers, drug trafficking groups, human snake organizations, and arms organizations, regardless of the initial opportunity and purpose of the establishment, and whether there will be romantic feelings in the development process, shouting "righteousness" , The alien of "Ren Xia Dao". After being brutally and bloodyly educated and eliminated, the only animals that can survive in the end are those who faithfully adhere to the principles of realism.
Never believe in any gang patriotism. Except for loving their gangs and leaders, gang members only love the money and benefits they get, and they don’t care about anything else. To tell these people what kind of national and national justice is to play the piano to the cows is nonsense. Let them work desperately for these things that they don't understand or want to understand. It's simply that their brains are filled with water. They need to use fists and sticks to correct the water-filled brain.
But now, the gangs in the "Zone 0" of the Principality are willing to assist the Snow Moon Party and the Republic, and their performance can be called proactive.
This is by no means all the gangsters have a deep understanding overnight and are determined to dedicate themselves to the country. The principle of their actions is just as Roland's immediate view of the "Ekaterinburg Club" boss Schwarzkopf. They only fight for survival, nothing more.
Almost all of them are squeezed into the "Zone 0" gang organization. After a series of struggles for living space, the rest can sit firmly in the corner, and they are the villains among the villains. These people have no trace of loyalty and affection to the principality government and this country, they only care about their own interests and survival. As long as they do not affect their income and living standards, and do not invade their territory, they do not care who is ruling this land.
But the empire is different.
The empire has an unusual desire to dominate.
Dominate everything, control everything, master everything.
The empire will never allow anything to be under its own control, whether it is on the table or under the table, it cannot be done without the empire directly controlling it. Either put it under control or destroy it completely. In short, no existence independent of the Empire’s control is allowed.
Based on this almost morbid paranoid desire to control, all unofficial underground organizations in the empire were wiped out, and members were either sent to the execution ground or disappeared without a trace. With the exception of Rudes, a special region with intertwined forces, and the crowns of Ostoria and St. Eastman, all underground societies within the empire have been completely wiped out, leaving no traces of their existence.
The Principality still maintains sovereign independence. Even if the influence of the empire begins to penetrate the Principality in full, it will take a long time for it to fully control and annex the Principality. But once this process begins, it is almost irreversible. After seeing the end of the peers under the rule of the empire, the Principality gangster said that "fight for survival" is indeed a truth.
If they don't help now, they will be fine in the future.
"Even if we are, we are not confident that we can live under the control of the empire. Instead of sitting still, it is better to try."
Gently scratching the leopard's throat, the big cat whined comfortably, and Schwarzkopf glanced at Roland and said:
"The reason for telling you this is to hope that you and your people can understand our sincerity and current situation. We do not expect to be able to achieve complete trust without gaps, but we hope that you will not pull your hind legs or hit the court at a critical moment. ."
"I understand your concerns, and for what you worry about, I can only say that our concerns are exactly the same."
The gangs worry that they do not trust each other and are unfamiliar with each other. If they act rashly, they will bring themselves to death. Why is Roland and the Republic not the same? No matter how powerful the gangs are, they are just a group of brave and hard-working people. Unless such organizations begin to develop toward warlordism, like the Mexican drug lords and drug dealers in the Golden Triangle in another world, they are so bold that they can openly kill government officials, police, and even fight with the army, otherwise they will never want to be separate from the government. Signs. Today’s principality does not say the power of the empire. Okrana and the gendarmerie, known for their brutality and brutality, are enough to send the gangsters of the Principality to the gallows. If they are in a good mood, they may choose a few lucky ones. Lubyanka Square tests new toys from the Empire.
In cooperation with this non-professional ground snake, the risks are large enough for Roland to go directly to the site for negotiation and evaluation.
Although they all fought for survival, and they all used the empire as their enemy, facing the current situation in which it is very difficult to establish basic trust, Roland couldn't help but have the urge to sigh when thinking about the difficult future.
No way.
Now there is no free time for sighs.
The empire unified the world and realized the overall control system faster than expected. Now everyone has actually been forced to the edge of the cliff, half of the foot has been hung from the bottom. Even if the empire deliberately slowed down the aggressive steps in order to prevent the cat-like reaction of the poor rats, the edge of the fragile cliff will sooner or later collapse on its own.
Now it doesn't matter whether it is a or a demon. As long as it can be used, even if it is a straw, an illusion, Roland must be tightly grasped and used.
"We don't want to see the future where the empire will devour everything. Only this one we can't accept, as long as this consensus is enough, isn't it?"
"……makes sense."
With a tight smile on his face, Schwarzkopf took an envelope from the drawer and placed it in front of Roland.
"This is the entire situation of the'Officially Operated Area No. 0'that we have determined."
"Official operation"
"There are Principalities and there are also imperials. Anyway, they are the facilities operated and managed by the two countries. Generally speaking, as you guessed, the areas managed by the empire are all used for'relocation.'"
Regarding the
relocation
, the empire’s secrecy work has been done well, but as long as it involves interests and personnel and material flows, the Principality will also be exposed to some information and even insider information, relying on its extensive network and intricate In the interest network, it is necessary to collect all the intelligence fragments and reassemble them into a complete image. Although it is a little troublesome, it is not impossible.
"Since the age of the consortium, there have often been convoys and trains from the West loaded with'unwanted people' on the rented land to do hard work to create profits for the consortium. When the empire was established, these people As more come, the number and scale of facilities will increase."
"The Principality completely ignores it"
Roland raised an eyebrow and asked:
"However, this is also a foreign facility, and the Principality will not be seen from the top and bottom."
"You can receive rent every year, and you will pay an additional fee for borrowing the railway system. Finally, everyone has the stock of the consortium and can get dividends every year. Who will strangle the goose that can only lay golden eggs"
"So they got deeper and deeper. In the end, the Principality must help conceal the existence of these facilities. Otherwise, after the secret exposure, the empire will certainly encounter a public relations crisis in which the image collapses. As a powerful accomplice, the Principality will also be criticized."
Looking through the photocopies of the timetables of the Principality Railway and documents signed by senior officials of the Principality, Roland couldn't help but vomit:
"Instead of coercing others to commit crimes, it is better to lure others into a thief ship, and when the other party finds something is wrong, he will not be able to go down. This is really a trap he will design."
"Very classical and effective."
Seeing more similar low-level traps, Schwarzkopf nodded in agreement.
"With this kind of black material, the Principality does not dare to use these things to threaten the empire at any time, but also desperately to cover up the truth. For them, to preserve the reputation of the empire is to preserve their own reputation. Now in order to preserve their power and Status, they decided to take over related facilities from the empire."
The best way to put an end to the revolution is to improve people's living standards~EbookFREE.me~ Everyone is at ease and happy. Naturally, no one wants to risk their heads to engage in a violent revolution.
The reason is simple, but if it can be done, there is no need for the Principality to provoke armed conflict with Lapland.
In the predictable time, it is difficult for the Principality to change the economic situation, let alone improve the people's living standards, ease social conflicts, and resolve the risk of violent revolution.
In the present moment when we can only rely on force suppression and high-pressure policies to maintain social order, sooner or later, murder and arrest will face the problem of intensified contradictions and more and more people become revolutionaries. So some kind of relatively moderate discount policy has become a necessary card. The empire has foreseen that the risk of turmoil in the Principality will be greater and greater, and the cost of continuing to maintain the relevant facilities will be higher and higher, even exceeding the benefits. Simply throwing your hands away to the Principality before losing money or exposing it saves money and throws away the trouble and trouble.
The two sides can be described as a hit, and the empire side quickly started the relevant procedures, and the Principality side also rarely showed efficiency and motivation. Various information and on-site evaluations were carried out at an unusual speed.
It is during this process that information about the "officially operated area 0" began to be grasped by the outside world for the first time.
