Twenty Seven Years - Chapter 459
Chapter 459 False cooperation
After such a conversation, the cooperation seems to be settled, but in fact it is still quite unstable.
Because of Verac they still don’t know who is behind Gonzalez.
If you don’t know enough about the partner’s information, it will be difficult to control the entire plan, and then you will become passive.
Of course, Gonzalez isn’t much better. He also had no clue about the details of Verac and the others. He couldn’t see how far the International Equality League had been deployed in Montrego, and what he wanted to do in the chaos.
Both sides are eager to know more at this time in order to better judge the situation.
“What do you want to talk about, let’s talk.” Verak waited for the other party to ask first.
“I like to be straightforward, so I asked directly.” Gonzalez did not refuse, and simply said, “What do you want to do with the International Equality League in Montrego?”
“You can even guess my identity, so you shouldn’t even know what the International Equality League does?” Verak raised the corner of his mouth and said.
“Okay, let me put it another way. Your International Equality Alliance wants to help the suffering civilians achieve equality and live a better life, so how do you plan to achieve this in Montrego?” Gonzales asked again road.
Villac smiled and looked at Gonzalez for a few seconds before saying, “Do you think I will tell you this information?”
“You have to ask before you know.” Gonzalez was not surprised by Verak’s attitude at all.
The question he asked was basically to inquire about the layout and development plan of the International Equality Alliance in Montrego. With such important information, the possibility of the other party telling him a casino boss is infinitely close to zero.
But he didn’t compromise on that.
“I don’t know, how much does your International Equality League know about the situation in Montrego City?” Gonzales said.
“What?” Verac waited for Gonzalez to get to the point.
“Since the International Equality Alliance has taken root in Menglege, it must be clear that Menglege has already been torn apart. The current decentness of Menglege City depends on the checks and balances of various warlords. Once the balance between warlords is broken, Menglege Lego City…” Gonzalez’s attitude was much more frank and solemn.
“Of course we know that. As the largest and most prosperous city in the Monrego Empire, the value of Montrego City is simply inestimable.” Verak has a clear view of the basic situation, “The warlords all want to occupy the city of Montrego City. , but no one is sure that they will be able to defend after the occupation, so they tacitly chose not to get involved in Montrego City until the winner is determined.”
Gonzalez smiled, took out his exquisitely packaged cigarette case, first handed one to Verak, and then lit one himself: “The biggest warlords must think so, they They all felt that sooner or later they would become the new emperor of Menglege, so they naturally didn’t want to see the good city of Menglege reduced to ruins in the flames of war. But those small warlords didn’t have such a long-term vision. The only thing I’m afraid of is to anger those warlord leaders who have big dreams at the same time.”
Villac looked at the cigarette that Gonzalez handed him, seeing nothing unusual, and he didn’t think Gonzalez would do anything in the cigarette, so he smoked it: “So?”
“It’s a bit off topic.” Gonzalez seemed to be getting closer to Verak unknowingly, and after waving his hands, he explained what he really wanted to communicate, “What I want to say is that those few people who are really thinking about Mongolia The warlords of Lego City seem to have not attacked Menglege City, but in fact they have secretly sent people to infiltrate all walks of life in Menglege City.”
“If what you want to talk about is these things that are really not secret, then you can stop it, at least you don’t need to waste your time and mine.” Verak said impatiently, pretending to know it a long time ago.
“Of course it’s more than—” Gonzalez took a puff of his cigarette, and before he was about to speak again, he froze and tilted his head back slightly. The two thugs understood and exited the office, “Don’t worry, those two are my confidants , they won’t spread the conversation just now.”
“Since they are confidantes, why let them go out now?” Verak felt amused, and also realized that what Gonzalez was going to say next was not simple.
“I’m not afraid they will know, but I’m afraid it’s not safe enough here.” Gonzalez specially arranged for the two most reliable people to go outside to keep on guard, and even the rest of the thugs had to guard against it together.
“You are not afraid of hearing about the International Equality League. Now I am starting to wonder what you know.” Verak’s curiosity was aroused.
The only people left in the office facing the International Equality League, Gonzalez was not at all uncomfortable: “You just said that you also want to ask me a question. I guess you want to know my background.”
Verak quite likes to communicate with smart people, even if the other party is not his companion: “That’s right.”
“Porfirio is my uncle.” That’s all Gonzalez said.
As Gonzalez expected, Verac, Murphy, and Connie were all shocked. They first suspected whether it was the same name, and then confirmed from their confident faces that the Porfirio he was talking about was Montrego The commander of the only guard regiment in the city.
This person was briefly included in the list of cooperation candidates by Verac and Murphy yesterday, but considering that he is more powerful than Gonzales, he is really a big man who can cover the sky in Montrego City with force, The risk of cooperation far outweighed the feasibility, so it was eliminated.
“It’s normal that you don’t know, because very few people in the inner city know about this matter. Of course, my uncle’s help is indispensable for me to get to where I am today. I will also give him a large share every month.” Gonzal Lace Road.
The little-known secret surfaced.
One of the uncles and nephews is responsible for providing asylum, and the other is responsible for doing black business. I don’t know how much profit they have made over the years.
“Your uncle commands the Montrego government, the only armed force in the city of Montrego. He must be the person most warlords want to win over?” Verak roughly understood what Gonzalez’s detour was. what you want to say.
“That’s right, especially during this period, those warlords visited my uncle every day, promising him that as long as he secretly surrendered, he would have innumerable power and wealth in the future. But you, the International Equality Alliance, should know that these warlords are terrible. The reliability is really low, and it is not a good decision to take refuge in either side, but the situation is forcing us to make a choice as soon as possible.” The emergence of the International Equality League is a bit too coincidental for Gonzalez.
The 150,000 gold vouchers that Carranza owed him were nothing compared to what his uncle was facing.
The International Equality Alliance can now win a win-win situation with Carranza and save Carranza, so it can also try to achieve a win-win situation with their uncles and nephews to pull them out of the predicament.
“You want to join the International Equality League with your uncle?” Verak understood.
“As long as the conditions are good enough, we can win together.” In the eyes of Gonzalez, the International Equality Alliance is much stronger than these warlords who are still fighting among themselves, and its roots are far away from Bresci. With a strong backer, he will not be too restrained. Maybe there is still hope to defeat the major warlords in the future. Their uncles and nephews take advantage of the situation to rule Menglege.
Verak did not express his opinion in a hurry, and rarely needed time to think carefully.
Corps Commander Porfirio and Casino Owner Gonzales are uncles and nephews. The fact that they intend to join the International Equality League is both good and bad.
The advantage is that Verac and the others are weak in Montrego. If they get the support of the Guard Corps, it is tantamount to mastering the city of Montrego. This will greatly increase their hopes of changing Montrego and shorten the time it takes for Montrego to change.
The disadvantage is that they are forced to join the International Equality Alliance due to the situation. They are not attracted by the idea of equality, but infected by the feats of their comrades. To put it bluntly, this kind of refuge is cooperation, and the International Equality Alliance is regarded as a tool to be used. Even if it is agreed, the two parties will continue to wrestle each other secretly in the future, and there is a huge possibility that they will gradually become a drag on each other.
In addition to this, there is another point that is very troublesome.
The International Equality Alliance that Verac said has been deployed in Montrego for a long time, it is a lie to Gonzales. After they cooperate, the team of only eight people will easily expose the true situation, and everything will become uncontrollable by then.
“We can’t cooperate.” Murphy stared at Veraker closely. He believed that Veraker understood how many problems there were without elaborating on himself.
“Letting these people who don’t really agree with the idea of equality join us will cause big trouble.” Connie thinks that Verac should firmly refuse now.
“This matter is not that simple. We have been exposed now. As long as we refuse to cooperate with them, we will be an obvious enemy.” In order not to make Gonzalez suspicious, Verak maintained the same expression and tone as before. State, “This is their territory, we are exposed and hostile to them, the situation will deteriorate rapidly.”
Murphy was speechless: “…Then what should I do?”
“We can only agree first, extend the time available for us to operate as long as possible, and then discuss countermeasures.” Verac smiled at Gonzalez, “Tell him that we welcome the guards in Montreco City Joining, but according to the regulations, this matter still needs to be reported to the higher authorities, and the people above will make the final decision. He can also use this time to negotiate some things with his uncle, and make good preparations for cooperation matters that will basically not have accidents Prepare accordingly.”
“Understood.” Murphy faithfully translated it to Gonzales.
“Is it so fun?” Gonzalez asked.
“There is not much time left for Montrego City. At least I am very happy to see this kind of win-win situation. As for how to seek refuge and the detailed arrangements for refuge, the people above have to decide. We don’t need to waste it now. Talking about it.” Verak found an excuse without changing his face.
Gonzalez looked very happy, and didn’t seem to have any doubts about Verac’s words and performance: “I will bring this good news to my uncle. So, is there still a need to do the charity dinner?”
Standing by the side, Carranza, who didn’t dare to make a sound, couldn’t muster the courage to intervene this time, and watched with trepidation as the two forces determined his future.
Verak pretended to hesitate, and pondered: “Let’s do it, the two things don’t affect each other, and doing it can also lay the foundation for our trust.”
“Okay, do as you said, and then I will play a play with Carranza, so that everyone thinks that Carranza has paid off the debt.” Gonzalez has no objection.
“I, I will definitely make the charity dinner big enough! More funds will be raised!” Carranza breathed a sigh of relief and promised.
“Then let’s have a meal with my uncle at noon?” Gonzalez issued an invitation.
“You can eat at any time, and there is no rush for this day. I will contact the main station first and report your matter. When this matter is settled, I think our meal will be very solid and enjoyable.” Wei Wei Rucker rejected Gonzalez, then got up and held out his right hand.
Gonzalez got up right after him and held out his hands: “Alright, it’s not too late to eat when we have the results.”
“Then let’s go first. As soon as there is news from above, we will go to the casino to find you.” Verac obviously wanted to leave the inner city as soon as possible, but there was still a bit of reluctance on the surface, which made people feel easily Trust, “Karanza, you know exactly how to organize the charity dinner. If you have nothing else to do, make preparations as soon as possible. Don’t wait for the warlords outside to come to a conclusion.”
“Good, good.” Carranza wished to do it now.
“Then I will deal with Carranza’s troubles first, and look forward to meeting next time.” Gonzalez said.
“I look forward to seeing you next time, no need to send them off.” Verac stopped Gonzalez and Karratha at the door of the office, and then led Murphy and Connie through a gang of thugs and out of the newspaper office.
Murphy first opened the rear door for Verack and Connie. After the two sat in, he got into the driver’s seat and started the car.
“No one followed.” Connie secretly noticed whether the newspaper office sent someone to follow them.
“Don’t take it lightly. Murphy, don’t rush to the exit of the inner city, go around the inner city first.” Verak leaned on the back of the chair and instructed.
“Understood.” Murphy turned the car around and drove in the opposite direction.
After the car turned a corner and disappeared from the sight of the newspaper, Connie, who had been paying attention to whether there was a tail, thought about it: “Comrade Verac, what should we do next? We can’t cooperate, and we can’t cooperate, so we must withdraw.” Leaving Montrego?”
“I don’t know, let me think about it.” This question is very tricky, and Verac couldn’t figure out a reliable clue for a while.
“The situation shouldn’t be that bad. How can Verak’s words buy us two or three days. After two or three days, we pretend to agree to cooperate, and then we can deal with it for another four or five days. One week is enough to wait for charity The dinner was implemented and shared. We got the money, helped the children, and had no other important things to do, so we can hide temporarily and look for other development opportunities.” Murphy wanted to follow the trend, but they couldn’t really do it no matter what. To cooperate, you must also get the money for the charity dinner.
