Magus''s words made durin realize that although he had left the vortex in the hinterland of the Empire, the old man''s attention was always on himself. He is well aware of some of his current responsibilities, but Maggs''s attention obviously exceeds his due attention. When a person is paying attention to you all the time, there are only two possibilities.
The first possibility is that he attaches great importance to you and hopes to see your growth every day. He knows what you have done recently, what you have gained, whether you have made mistakes, and whether you have learned any lessons. This is a feeling of love from the elders for the younger generation they like.
The second possibility is that he is on guard against you. He doesn''t want you to stab him in the back when he dozes, so he must keep himself awake all the time, lock all your actions with his eyes, and be careful against any behavior that may cause harm to him. He doesn''t trust you.
Turin doesn''t naively think that if he does something and promises some bright prospects, margus will pay attention to himself as his real successor. What Dooling has done is really great at his level, and even some things have risen to the level of national strategy. But durin was also very clear that the old man sitting opposite him personally kicked the royal family loyal to his ancestors from the throne of power. During his 20 years in charge of the military, politics, culture and all aspects of the Empire, he was in power.
No one with more power than him can be found in the Empire. Whether durin or those noble and big capitalists outside, the resources they have are a joke for margus. When people are still satisfied with tens of millions of billions of wealth, the national finance that Maggs can control has long been calculated in billions. The resources and contacts he has can cover every corner of the Empire, and all the materials they have will not be paid attention to by margus.
So what else can Dooling do?
He did these things, came up with these ideas, his brain!
He has a dangerous brain, which he knows very well, so he can clearly realize that MARGES''s attention to himself is definitely not love, but a kind of surveillance and caution.
He smiled without changing his color on his face, as if he hadn''t thought about so many things at this moment. It was very natural, and then margus went on, "I got some mines and some land. When I was mayor, I was used to being busy. I was busy all of a sudden. I couldn''t help being lonely. I just heard that there was a green home development plan in the West. In order to show my lofty patriotism, I found something to do there."
Maggs was confused. He didn''t know about the green home development plan at all, and no one in the cabinet dared to hide it from him. But he quickly reacted that it must be the work of mennong. The damn horse dealer was really annoying. If Maggs hadn''t had his own ideas and plans, he would have let mennong completely Who would talk so much with him when he disappeared into the world?
He led the bloody dawn remnant to make trouble in the sparsely populated area in the West. Before that, he launched an armed uprising to separate the whole west. After being suppressed, he fled abroad. Later, he changed and formed the Kadima party to win the sphere of influence in the West. According to the idea of ordinary people, he might be killed before mennon did these things, but margus Not ordinary people. Even if they kill door farmers, window farmers and chimney farmers, these emerging figures will continue to challenge the nerves of the imperial ruling party.
Instead of letting them evolve and master more advanced and excellent means in the process of being defeated again and again, it''s better to let these clowns climb onto the table, let them stand in the spotlight, and then let the world naturally eliminate these deformed and distorted insects.
From the policies made by mennon, margus has foreseen his end. He will not have a good end. He colludes with the capitalists. It seems that he will have a very outstanding performance in the early stage of development, but he lacks a solid foundation. Once something happens, the capitalists will immediately abandon the loser and be right after losing the support of the capitalists and the soil for local survival The best time for this group to do it.
Originally, this opportunity may have to wait a few years or more, and margus may not even see the arrival of that day, but Turin suddenly went to the west, so that margus saw the arrival of dawn. If Turin''s scourge reached the west, can it catalyze the collapse of the Kadima party and make this day come earlier?
This is likely because Dooling has great ambitions. He doesn''t want to go to the west at all, but to look for "opportunities" in the West.
Smart people always like it, but they are also afraid to stay with smart people, because smart people can understand the ideas of smart people. It seems that the word "smart" is very common and common, but in fact, this word can completely screen out 99.99% of the people in the whole society, leaving less than one ten thousandth of them!
Durin wanted to go to the West. Magus''s first thought at that time was that durin wanted to jump out, because now the situation in the empire is that only the west is most suitable to "start from scratch" Although margus doesn''t want to admit this, he must admit that in the eyes of the honest cowboys in the west, empire is only a very general word. Many people have never left the West in their lives, and they rarely enjoy the support and preference from various imperial policies, so these people can''t keep the concept of Empire in mind all the time.
Who gives them benefits, they will smile at who.
Who let them eat enough, they will let each other see their "opinions"!
Dooling knew he couldn''t get the position he wanted in the new party, so he had to jump out. Magus had corresponding countermeasures after realizing this. He could not allow such an ambitious and dangerous man to grow up day by day in the Empire, unless he was willing to accept a rope tied around his neck, but he would never agree, just as magus would not agree.
He smiled and nodded. "The west is the next place in the empire that needs to be developed urgently. There are large areas of land and rich resources, but economic construction has always been the last place in the Empire. Are you interested in finding a place to be a mayor in the west, which is the compensation this time?"
Margus'' thinking has always been active. He can think while talking, and even constantly change his thinking. He quickly denied the previous idea. If he could bring Turin back to the camp of the new party''s position, even if it was only superficial. If he wants to realize his ambition and desire, he must do one thing - let the western economy develop rapidly and vigorously.
The west is not Otis city. There can be no more miracles in Otis city. It will take at least 20 years to transform the whole west. Twenty years later, durin, in his forties, wanted to start from scratch at that time. He was afraid it would be impossible to wait for the day of his old death. Of course, those who should be on guard should be on guard, and those who should be left behind should be left. Less than a last resort, margus is really unwilling to give up Turin and his magical brain.
After looking at each other for a few seconds, durin shook his head and said, "no, I''m a little special now. It''s not convenient to re-enter politics in a short time. Let''s wait until the next election year."
Margus''s pupils contracted slightly. He smiled and nodded his head. Whether he agreed with Turin or not was another matter.
The two men soon pulled the topic back from Turin''s personal affairs to the issues they had talked about before. MARGES stacked the pieces on the chessboard neatly, with a meticulous attitude and focused expression, as if what he did was very important, "Soon the Kape family will be worried. At that time, the pressure on your side will be heavier. He can pry a lot of contacts, and all aspects will bring you great pressure and threat. What you have to do is to protect yourself and show their persecution against you."
"These people have formed a net and entangled with each other. As long as the problem of the Kape family becomes a social problem, we can start to attack him.", margus picked up a chess piece representing the soldier and put it in its place, "Kape family...", but then picked up other pieces and put them in order one by one, "hymn consortium..." Then came the war horses and siege equipment, "the relationship chain of northern nobles..."
When he finally picked up the "King" and put it back in the last position, he looked up at Turin, "noble capitalist!"
"I have another request. I hope you can help me finish it. I know you have paid a lot, and I haven''t given you anything, but I think our goals and ideals are the same."
When durin returned home from MARGES'' villa, freina had curled up on the sofa and looked at the new tape. There was no equipment such as TV in the Royal College to let students kill time. The school, which has always been famous for its strictness, wanted to tear the students into two halves, half study and half rest. When the time came, let the two halves change and study forever.
She took a look at Dooling, took back her eyes, continued to concentrate on those dark pictures on the TV screen, and laughed from time to time.
Durin took off his coat, went to the sofa and sat down. He asked, "how did you think of coming today?". He gave freina the key, but I heard she didn''t come alone.
"The imperial capital is so big that everyone is discussing Mr. durin and his enemies. Of course I will come and have a look."
