Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 231 Planning

"The people who came to beg for life in Sidr and Menglege suffered unfair treatment. They thought that they could live a good life by fleeing their miserable hometown and traveling to the Old South. A new conscription law was promulgated and they were ruthlessly thrown into battle," said Verak.

   Keating carefully flipped through the newspaper: "So you want to help them?"

Verak explained his thoughts: "If no one in the Old South Treaty or even Dunman is willing to stand up, then I will come. But our mission here is to regain control of gold. Before this is done, I will not It will be involved in other things. I mean, Boss Xin and his local gangs have fierce conflicts with foreign gangs, and foreign gangs need to absorb new blood, and the fresh blood is directly recruited by the government to serve as soldiers. We should deal with it Space."

"This move by the government is of great benefit to the locals. In the long run, the impact suffered by the locals in the Old South Treaty will become weaker and weaker. They will regain a large amount of resources taken away by outsiders, and the government's problem of recruiting troops will also be greatly improved. Alleviation." Keating foresees the situation in the Old South Treaty a few years later, "Although this is cruel to the Sdar people and the Montrego people, it has to be said that it is completely beneficial to Dunman."

  "The foreign gangs are definitely not stupid, and they will not sit back and watch their own people be slowly expropriated by the government."

   "Of course, they're bound to do something."

"I don't know much about these gangs, I don't know their behavior style, and it's hard to put myself in their shoes and think about their countermeasures." Verak didn't dare to speculate, and turned his eyes back to the pensive Keating, "What do you think? Faced with such a threat, how should they deal with it?"

   Keating read the contents of the new conscription law published in the newspaper for a long time: "Forbearance."

"Why do you say that?"

"Gang disputes have been tormenting this city. The government has just ended the civil war. If the economy wants to develop rapidly, it is best to solve the gang problems together." Keating frowned, and the complicated situation in the Old South Feeling a headache, "But the gangs are deeply entrenched, and it is almost impossible to eradicate them. All they can do is to weaken the strength of the gangs as much as possible. Once the new conscription law comes out, it will actually have an impact on local gangs and outsiders. , but it has a greater influence on outsiders. As for why the outside gangs choose to endure, it is because if they resist, it will just give the Dunman government a legitimate reason to eliminate them. If they don’t move, Dunman won’t understand It is **** the surface, offending two neighboring countries after just solving internal hidden dangers."

  After listening carefully, Veraker had a clearer understanding of the matter. He sat next to Keating and said, "Then do you think they have no other choice but to be patient?"

"Not yet, or I can't think of it." Keating put away the newspaper, looked directly at Veraker and shook his head, "The timing of the Dunman government's enactment of the new conscription law was ingenious. They chose it at the end of the civil war, and the army was not in urgent need of manpower. In this way, even if the conscription is not enough, there will be no large-scale backlash that is beyond their control. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the Sidr people and the Menglege people to come hard, and they can only come from soft nature. Save."

   "I wonder if I can't buy Quinn's Tavern, can I use this background to profit from the fight between the foreign gangs and Boss Xin?" Verak said.

   "If it really comes to the point where the Quinn Tavern must be taken back, then you can indeed consider using these."

  Verak understood: "I'll contact Boss Xin and the others in the afternoon to see if they are willing to sell."

   "You decided to go on your own?" They haven't discussed this matter in detail, and Keating doesn't know why Verak made the decision to try it himself.

"Hmm." Verak also thought about this matter in the morning, "At first, I thought, if your friends are still there, you can ask them to come forward, but now it seems that we have nothing to rely on, so go out and find someone short It is impossible to know the root and the bottom within a short period of time, and it is most reassuring to go by yourself.”

   "But you have already gone there in the name of repaying your father's favor, and the next day you went there and said that you are going to buy the tavern. The logic does not make sense."

Verak let out a "hmm" and thought for a few seconds: "There are two situations. If Boss Xin and the others don't know about gold, as long as I bid high enough, who cares who I am? If they Knowing the secret of gold, my two visits in succession must arouse their suspicion."

   "They will kill you on the spot." Keating reminded.

  This place is completely different from Brisey. Gang fights on the street are common occurrences. If Veraker is seen by Boss Xin and the others as someone who pays attention to gold, he may not even be able to leave the tavern.

  Villac put the gun on the table: "Self-protection is still no problem, as long as I leave the door of the tavern, I can start preparing for our new response plan."

   "Do you want to take advantage of the trend to join forces hostile to Xin and the others, intensify their conflicts, and then find a chance to control gold?" Keating realized why Veraker did this in a dangerous and easy-to-break situation.

   "Yes. Since they can't buy it and they doubt me, then we don't need to waste time and just provoke their conflicts." Verak's thoughts are very straightforward.

"But when they know about gold, if they bring in another force, the situation will be very chaotic. If they are not careful, the news about gold will leak out. At that time, the entire Old South Treaty will focus on the Quinn Tavern. Keating worried that if there was a mistake in the implementation of the plan, they would really miss gold.

  Verak didn't speak again.

  This method is the best solution he can think of so far.

   Keating agrees, he can do it in the afternoon. Keating disagreed, and that must have given him a reason to stay put.

"It's still too urgent." Keating didn't want to take too many risks. They didn't miss this time. Find another way, it really won't work, just after you are fully prepared, according to what you said, muddy the water and act according to circumstances."

   "Then what do you think we should do next?"

   "First clarify the power structure, and then have a clearer understanding of the Quinn Tavern." Keating said, "To put it simply, we have too little information, and we should investigate more now."

   "Okay." Verac followed Keating's suggestion, "Then I'll go around in the afternoon to find out the situation."

   Keating stood up: "Let's arrange it like this first. Alright, let's go to lunch."
