Chapter 6299: Are you ambitious?
Chapter 6299 Are you ambitious?
When Lin Rui and the others returned to their residence, Yelena was already too worried, and said in a low voice, "You don't want to go out anymore, it's not peaceful outside. Just now there were rumors that someone encountered a sniper on the street and killed him. A few people. Although we have captured the city of Orumi, the law and order in the city will definitely not improve in a short time. Be careful that someone fishes in troubled waters, which is not good for you. Your responsibility now is not small, and many people are staring at you. "
Lin Rui smiled and said: "The remaining Orumi Federation Army? Why did they kill me? I have no grievances with them. After these few days, I will hand over the command to Kassan and let him appoint A few high-ranking officers in Anmore. We will be retired. This mission will be over."
"I'm afraid it's not that simple. You also know that although we took the city of Orumi, the militants of the Secret Order withdrew earlier. And with so many of them, they left without leaving any traces? Naturally, there are people in the city covering them. As for who these covering people are, we still don’t know anything. So it’s better to be careful. Although the Aurumi Federal Army has completely surrendered, it’s hard to say that the city is still alive. Are there any militants hidden in the secret society organization?" Yelena sighed.
"Okay, I understand, I will be careful these few days." Lin Rui smiled.
However, that night, he really dreamed that someone was coming to assassinate him, and when he woke up in a start, it was already dawn. I hurriedly changed my clothes and rushed to attend a meeting. This is the first multi-party meeting in Orumi city after the war. The place where the meeting was held was the Governor's Mansion in Orumi City. This mansion was originally the residence of the Orumi Kingdom. It was rebuilt using the original palace when the colonists captured the Aurumi area, although the Aurumi Federation became independent in the end. However, this place has been expanded several times, and the scale and furnishings have not shrunk at all, and some places are even more luxurious than before.
After a hundred years of ups and downs, this palace is still quite new and luxurious. After careful repair and cleaning, it looks shining and amazing. Although the conference hall is relatively simple in furnishings, it has a large area, even compared with the conference rooms of some international hotels, it is not inferior.
However, it is not Merode's garrison officers and soldiers who are guarding the Governor's Mansion now, but the neatly dressed soldiers of Anmore's Seventh Battalion. The desert camouflage and red berets are their distinctive signs.
There are also people from the Lin Rui Trident Military Company. Although they are not many in number, they occupy a very important position in it, and are responsible for guarding many vital parts. It surprised many Orumi people. Now that these armed mercenaries suddenly appeared in such an important place, does it mean that there is any unusual move?
This time, it is stipulated that the participants are not allowed to bring any guards, let alone weapons. These mercenaries are security experts. With them, accidents should be prevented.
I don't know who ordered it, but this meeting seemed very luxurious and grand, which made Lin Rui feel a little too much, but others seemed to be used to it. Exquisite food is also prepared in the conference hall, which is extraordinary at first glance. It whets your appetite, and you can't help but want to eat it. In fact, since the outbreak of the war, those pampered officials of the Orumi Federation have died, fled, and lived in displacement.
Lin Rui found his place, but it was the corner closest to the door and the corner most easily overlooked. He sat down and took a rough look around. In addition to the senior Anmor officers in the chairman's seat, there were also tribal leaders from the surrounding areas who attended the meeting. All these tribal leaders were very well-behaved. It was heard that the Anmor army asked them to hold a meeting, and no one dared to refuse. It seems that as long as there are people alive, they will come. Including several large tribes around the city of Orumi, there are a few who don't know who they are, probably the local armed leaders, but behind them, there is a very strange ordinary young man.
To say that he is strange does not mean that there is anything special about his birth, but that the place and time of his appearance are not quite right. Those who appeared here at this moment were all princes from the Orumi area. Even though some people had completely lost their right to speak, they still had an identity after all. But this young man is clearly not one of them. He doesn't look like an ordinary person, he looks calm and wise, with a slight smile on his mouth forever, which makes people feel very approachable.
"Mr. Rick, you don't have to be curious, I'm just an outsider." The young man said with a smile, facing Lin Rui's eyes lightly.
Lin Rui didn't want to show off, so today's meeting has been handed over to two Anmore officers. Even if there is any limelight, that is their business. As the saying goes, it has nothing to do with you, if you hang it high, you will no longer pay attention. There were people coming and going at the door, and he didn't even bother to take a look. He took out a newspaper and lowered his head to do the Sudoku game on it. The large-scale Sudoku game is quite brain-intensive, and the young people behind him are quite curious when they see his appearance, but they don't say anything.
Other representatives attending the meeting also entered the arena one after another, but Lin Rui didn't pay attention at all.
After a while, Lin Rui let out a long sigh of relief, and finally solved a key number. He hurriedly wrote and filled out the Sudoku form in one go. He couldn't help leaning back, and accidentally bumped into the table behind him. . He hurriedly turned around to apologize to the young man, who was also flipping through the newspaper, smiling and saying it was all right, seeing that Lin Rui was done, he folded the newspaper in his hand and handed it to Lin Rui, and said softly: "Mr. Rick, What do you think?"
Lin Rui saw that it was reporting that the Orumi Federation Army had defeated the Anmor Army, but the commander, Lieutenant General Isaac, was unfortunately seriously injured. Can't help but sneer: "There are still some areas in the south that are in their hands, so there are such newspapers. I'm sure that in another month, this newspaper will definitely praise General Kasan of Anmore, Don't be surprised, it's really so shameless!"
The young man's expression was very strange, he seemed to be very sad, he seemed to be very melancholy, and he didn't speak in silence.
Lin Rui was wondering, but he heard applause, but it was the delegates clapping their hands to welcome two senior officers of the Anmore Army into the arena. He looked up and saw that the two officers were his carefully selected representatives. They all have the majesty of a soldier in appearance, heavy-backed, not tall, but very strong, and they walk very calmly. The two of them sat down with the chairman on top, and the second was the smug representative of the Hammer organization. Sure enough, today's meeting was all about rebuilding Orumi City. A group of Orumi people seemed to be preoccupied, but those Anmor officers were high-spirited, forming a stark contrast.
Inadvertently, Lin Rui suddenly saw Jiang An, the actuary, sitting at the top seat beside him, with a stern expression on his face. Seeing the actuary, Lin Rui was completely relieved.
Merode waved his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet, then he cleared his throat pretentiously, and began to say the opening remarks: "Everyone, everyone, please be quiet, and listen to me to say a few words first. It is very important for us to gather here today. The sacred mission is to be completed, everyone must concentrate."
The venue gradually quieted down, and his eyes were focused on Merode, but suddenly there was a slight sound of flipping the newspaper in the silence. It was the young man behind Lin Rui. Lin Rui looked back, and the young man smiled faintly. Folding the newspaper neatly, he turned a blind eye to Merode's dissatisfied gaze.
Merode frowned, and said loudly: "Everyone, first of all, I want to announce a piece of good news. Of course, there have been too many unfortunate news during this period of time, and we have all become numb. However, I still have to tell everyone, We have all received orders from the Anmor Northern Coalition Headquarters to restore the order of the Orumi Federation as soon as possible. The war is over, which is good news for us and the civilians in the city..."
What he said later, Lin Rui didn't hear clearly, because at this time the venue was already buzzing with whispers, everyone except Merode was whispering, some shook their heads, some nodded, and some were sad Feeling sad, some anxiously inquired about the way out, the mess was like a vegetable market in the morning.
Although the gossip that Merode had defected to the Anmor army had spread all over the sky, many locals still had a little bit of fantasy, hoping that it was indeed just a rumor. However, when the news was personally confirmed by the person involved, the rumors were shattered and immediately caused quite a commotion. The Federal Management Committee has already left ahead of time, leaving it to fend for itself, and the power of the Anmore Army is in full swing, so it will naturally not have a good look at these former vested interests present here. But these people here, where will they go, and even whether their lives can be guaranteed, will be the most concerned issues for everyone.
After a while, the whispers in the venue gradually subsided. Lin Rui looked up and saw that Merode was very active and was talking with the two Anmor officers in a low voice. It seemed that the conversation was going well. There, neither talking nor smiling, seemed expressionless.
When the venue was finally completely silent, one of the Anmor officers spoke. He was obviously in a good mood, with a frozen smile on his face that would never disappear, and said softly: "Everyone, although we captured this city by force, it doesn't mean we want to destroy it." We are only helping the people of the Orumi Federation get rid of foreign control and prevent everyone from being oppressed and persecuted. The fate of Orumi is still in the hands of all of us..."
Someone said softly: "I think it is in the hands of those people..." The voice was very low, but it was impossible to tell who it was.
Officer Anmore seemed not to have heard this sentence, and continued to say: "As long as we all unite, we can completely rebuild a healthy Aurumi Federation. First of all, we must not be discouraged, and we must not be intimidated by the military power of the Management Committee." On the contrary. Military power cannot solve everything, and siege of cities can only create temporary power and influence, and cannot last long. On the contrary, we can only sit down and find a path that we all can accept, and implement our own actions within this framework..."
Lin Rui heard someone tap his back lightly from behind, turned around, only to find that the young man pointed at the officer, and then smiled softly, "Is this man sent out by Mr. to stand at the front desk? The eloquence is pretty good."
Lin Rui smiled and agreed with him. The Anmor officer said a lot over and over again, using a lot of gorgeous rhetoric, describing the bright future of peaceful coexistence between Anmor and the Orumi people. But he seems to have completely forgotten the most important point, which is that these people are either local armed forces or leaders of tribal armed forces. Why do they sit down and have a meeting with you? What benefits can you give?
Of course, they might sit down with you one day, but only if both parties have guns. These people are astute as hell, if they don't give you some practical benefits, it will be very difficult for them to follow you.
The mysterious young man waved to Lin Rui, and said lightly, "Mr. Rick, can we talk?"
Lin Rui felt bored for a long time, and just as he wanted to, he readily agreed, stood up, pulled the stool away and walked out. But he made a big move for a while, the stool was pulled too fast, making a loud noise, which attracted everyone's attention to him, and the continuous speech of the Anmore officer was interrupted by him, thinking that he was doing something wrong When he said something wrong, he immediately stared at him with a questioning look on his face.
Lin Rui said with a slight smile: "Go ahead, today's meeting is related to everyone's future, I hope everyone can let go of their guard and be open and honest."
"Mr. Rick has great insights, and I am very grateful for Mr. Rick's guidance." Officer Anmore said quickly. A group of people around immediately echoed.
When Lin Rui walked out of the meeting room, he immediately felt that the air was much fresher, and his whole body was also much more relaxed.
This meeting is like a hypermarket where you can bargain, and it will eventually become a spoils conference to divide Aurumi. He doesn't like dealing with these relevant stakeholders, but there is nothing he can do. Without their support at this stage, there will be more follow-up problems. So he must have these tribal armed forces and local militia leaders, even if they need to give them enough benefits.
The young man paced back and forth in front of Lin Rui, suddenly fixed his eyes on Lin Rui and said deeply: "I dare to ask, Mr. Rick, do you have ambition? Or do you have the ambition to control the Orumi Federation?" ?”
Lin Rui's heart was slightly shocked. He intuitively felt that the purpose of this person's visit must not be as simple as just chatting with him, and it was true. So he calmed down and said calmly: "Where did you go? With my ability, how can I have such a big determination? Even if I have such a determination, but I don't have such strength, isn't it a suicide attempt? "
This person didn't care about the change in Lin Rui's expression, but continued to say proudly: "The current Aurumi Federation has already lost its original ruler, and what is left is just a fight between you and the weak. That's all.
After all, General Kassan's foundation is not here, and these people in the conference room are nothing more than that. Although they look beautiful on the outside, the interior has long been rotten, and they don't even know that the era of dynastic change has come. Mr. Rick, do you understand? Who wants their own destiny to be dominated by others? Who doesn't want to be a great man of the times? "
