The first thousand four hundred and eighty-two chapters are difficult
ps: Please collect it, thank you.
The weather is slowly getting warmer, and spring is getting closer.
Nearly three months have passed since the human coalition landed in the Caribbean.
Millions of troops gathered in the Caribbean ports, but they remained silent.
Although the war did not break out as quickly as the Semitic people expected, in the past two or three months, with the strong support of the human race, especially the Flying Eagle Transnational Trust Monopoly Group, Caribbean Port has developed by leaps and bounds.
The speed can be said to be changing with each passing day, and the city changes its face every day.
Various factories have sprung up like mushrooms, popping out of the ground in a snap, with black smoke billowing from their chimneys, and the roar of steam engines going on day and night.
Ships loaded with coal, ore and migrant workers lined up in a long queue, waiting to enter the port.
Good news is spreading frequently on all fronts, and the situation is gratifying. The farts of the chickens in Caribbean Port are rolling upwards as if they were on stimulants.
Industry, finance, urbanization, and cheap labor are rushing into this formerly monotonous port.
A pearl on the coast is rising slowly, and the future will be bright...
But~!
But these are just superficial appearances~!
In fact, the situation in the Caribbean is not optimistic at all. The undercurrents are turbulent and complicated, and one move affects the whole body.
Due to the large influx of migrant workers, the security situation in the Caribbean has deteriorated sharply.
Although the security in the Caribbean is not very good in the first place, the downtown area where pirates, smugglers and traffickers gather, and the poor gather is even more lawless.
But it's never been this bad.
Think about it. With heavy human coalition forces stationed in the Caribbean, those bandits and robbers dared to rob the Eagle Bank in broad daylight. This case alone can illustrate how bad the situation has deteriorated.
In addition, with the influx of population, they not only provided labor force, but also brought in the gang societies formed in their hometowns.
This is actually a natural thing. When outsiders arrive for the first time, they are bound to be bullied by the locals, especially in an era without labor laws and trade unions. It is common for outsiders to lose their lives.
In order to make money, these outsiders will unite together, and the easiest and most trustworthy ones are naturally their own compatriots.
What's more, many people are simply organized by a boss to make a living together. They form the most basic gang-like organization.
As the number of people increases, their ambitions naturally increase. In order to maximize profits, they often form a violent gang in the shortest possible time, and then dominate the market, taking the opportunity to monopolize a certain industry in the fish and meat village.
Just like what was described in "The Godfather", which can be regarded as a gangster textbook, the Irish and Italians who had just become Amei's menstrual apprentices formed the most famous gangsters. The Mad Dog Gang and the Mafia, even though
These people turned out to be honest and simple people.
They acted recklessly in the golden age of gangsters. Vito and Corleone monopolized the olive oil business and made their first pot of gold by burning the goods of their competitors.
Everyone at home and abroad has done this.
Not only that, in order to fight for territory, protection money, and the control of underground gambling and brothel houses, hundreds of people are fighting and killing each other on the streets almost every day, and countless people have died. Now is the battle
The most intense time.
This is nothing. No matter how powerful the gang is, it will only be wiped out under the guns of the security forces. What is even more troublesome is the group of nobles who fled.
Lord Lorraine can't just shoot him like a gangster - although Lord Lorraine has thought so more than once.
At the beginning, the nobles who came were all the Semitic elites and the persecuted.
Their arrival has given the Caribbean government a lot of influence.
For example, Parker, the military chief, Hawke, the commander of the guards, and Halke, the commander of the northwest military region.
These people are very important in the Semitic army. They are very prestigious among the Semitic people.
Their arrival caused a subtle change in the attitude of the entire Semitic military.
In addition, there were a large number of other officials who suffered persecution.
Since they are not favored by Madolins, the undead gold medalist, these people, needless to say, are naturally clear-headed among the Semitic people and want to find a way out for the independence and freedom of the Semitic people. They are truly elites with ideals and ambitions.
.
If they didn't run away, the secret police's knife might fall on them that day.
The Caribbean government is currently short of talents. There are only three or two big cats and kittens in the entire interim government, and it cannot even hold a regular meeting.
Naturally, these nobles who defected were given preferential treatment. Basically, everyone was promoted to a higher rank.
With more and more subordinates, President Bullard was so happy that his eyes narrowed to a slit that month, and he could even laugh in his dreams.
But later on, the situation took a turn for the worse.
A large number of run-down nobles and landowners who had no hope of living among the Semitic tribes saw that there were advantages here, and they would work as officials whenever they came. As if they had smelled a bloody shark, they came with their families to seek refuge.
There are even some of them who are notorious and have such bad conduct that even mainstream Semitic society cannot accept them.
Their arrival brought with them the inherent bad qualities of the lowly nobles of the feudal landlord class.
They despise businessmen, bully people, buy and sell by force, rob women, kill people on the streets... they are almost the same as those who engage in underworld.
If there is any difference, it is that the underworld still wants to have some face, and when it comes to court, it still shouts "loyalty is the foundation", "helping people escape and extinguish the undead".
And they relied on their aristocratic status to act unscrupulously and didn't even show any shame.
Although they did not dare to provoke the human coalition forces, they made the people of the Caribbean boil with resentment and excitement.
If it weren't for the fact that he knew that Prime Minister Madolins was a fool and was currently busy with the purge and couldn't care about this, Lord Luo would have suspected that they were undercover spies sent by Madolins.
Calling them pig teammates is an insult to pigs. Those people are a bunch of despicable scoundrels and scum~!
The Caribbean is now in a state of chaos caused by them. If it is allowed to develop, the local people may be forced to rebel.
This is an extremely terrible thing.
You know, everyone came under the banner of freedom and democracy to save the Semitic people who were living in dire straits, but in the end, they forced the Semitic people to rebel.
At that time, human beings became a joke.
Lord Lorraine's great reputation will become the laughing stock of the world.
Lord Luo looked at the documents on the table. He couldn't help but sigh again: Now he has to think of a solution~!
The local intelligence agency agents have suggested that the task force be dispatched to carry out targeted killings directly.
But if you directly attack them, it will definitely frighten the Semitic nobles, and the people who have finally gathered together will disperse.
You must know that the Caribbean government has a bad reputation. It has even been called a traitor, a traitor, and a bastard of mankind.
If it weren't for Madolins' perverse behavior, which made everyone scared, they would never have come here.
This good momentum must be maintained in order to win over the Semitic people as much as possible and weaken their resistance.
Not to mention that at this stage, humans still need the help of these Semitic nobles to maintain their rule.
This is really a dilemma~!
Lord Luo is full of clever ideas, but at this moment, he can't come up with a good idea. To kill or not to kill?
He couldn't help but rub his temples with a headache, then stood up, came to the window, and pushed open the window.
A gust of cold wind blew in immediately, clearing Lorraine's dull mind.
He glanced outside.
I saw the entire Caribbean City in sight.
On the distant sea, countless ships were going back and forth. It was extremely busy.
In the port, there are also hundreds of large ships moored.
Long trestles go deep into the sea, connecting the heavy ships with the docks.
The heavy steam engine spewed out billowing black smoke and drove the lifting equipment to lift the cargo off the ship.
On another hill, a magnificent cathedral is under construction.
The workers were busy on the scaffolding. From a distance, they looked as small as ants.
Further away, the chimneys of the steel plant have also been erected high, and one of them has been ignited, spewing billowing black smoke outwards.
And in Caribbean City, there is also a lively and busy scene.
That scene reminded Lorraine of her own Nai'an. The original construction of Nai'an was also so lively and busy. It was changing and prospering with each passing day.
When the lord saw this, he couldn't help but feel quite proud. Under his leadership, the originally backward Caribbean people had already half-stepped into the ranks of capitalism.
At this moment, a breeze blew, and at the same time, there was also a burst of soft music mixed with laughter and laughter.
Lorraine turned around and saw that in the hall of the Presidential Palace, there was a scene of singing and dancing. Countless gentlemen and ladies were holding champagne and laughing and talking about something.
These are all exiled Semitic nobles who were invited to attend President Brad's banquet.
In order to gather popularity and attract people's hearts, President Brad held such banquets almost every day.
The old guy had a very bad habit. Whenever he drank too much, he would just pull someone over, and then start talking about his difficult journey and glorious history. Then when the conversation changed, he would start appointing officials and making wishes, employing people in violation of regulations.
In the past, when I was the city lord, the banquet attendees were basically locals and their relatives. At this time, if you drank too much and appointed officials casually, it would be nepotism at best. There is not much harm.
But now that he has become the president, the banquets every day are attended by exiled nobles from all over the world. It would be too imprudent to appoint officials so casually.
The prince had a malicious suspicion in his heart: This cheap father-in-law is probably only as capable as a city lord~!
At this moment, he heard the door behind him creaking. Then a burst of soft footsteps came from far and near, coming behind him.
Now in this place, only four people can come in without saying hello.
Among them, Lei Er and Xiao Bai are always shocking when they come running. They often like to kick the door directly with their feet, and when Lei Er is kicking the door, he will also shout "Deadly Shadowless Kick~!"
Vera's pockets were filled with either gold coins or snacks, and they rattled as she walked. It was like a mobile treasury.
Only Fiona can be so gentle and considerate.
Sure enough, I heard her voice from behind, saying: "Are you worried again?"
As he said that, he moved lightly and came behind Lorraine, and then gently rubbed Lorraine's forehead.
Lorraine sighed and said: "Yes, there is no way.
Why are the shabby nobles here like rat cubs, invisible at ordinary times, but at a critical moment, they all come out of their holes to look for food?"
Fiona immediately gave him a gentle slap on the back in a coquettish manner, and then said: "Why can't I understand that your human race has so many countries and there should be more nobles? How do you deal with it?"
Lorraine shrugged and said, "Although there are many nobles over there, there are also many wars, so many nobles die."
If the lordship himself hadn't been so fast and had enrolled in Maple Leaf Danlin Academy, he would have been sent to the frontier to have snowball fights with barbarians.
And even so, when he first met Catherine, the old lady was always ready to scare him with death squads.
Fiona couldn't help but chuckle, and then continued: "Then there is still some left."
Lorraine turned his head and thought for a moment and said: "If there are any leftovers, send them to the Senate and let them stay there..."
At this point, he suddenly realized something and slapped his forehead hard: How could he have ignored the Senate, a powerful weapon that is used to arrange things and is dedicated to making nonsense?
I only thought about setting up a Semitic government, completely ignoring that the current Semitic Provisional Republican Government is completely different from the original one. This is a brand new structure, and I can add to it at will.
Even if you encounter some minor problems, these problems can be easily solved by turning to human society.
And since it is a republican government, it is also a civil society, and the feudal dynasty class of aristocrats cannot exist. In this society, everyone is equal...well, at least on the surface, everyone is equal.
Anyone who wants to be an official...
Thinking of this, Lord Luo suddenly became enlightened and his mind suddenly opened up.
Lorraine sighed inwardly. In the past two years, he had been so busy fighting wars that he had become a fool as a soldier and had forgotten his own job.
He pulled Fiona over, kissed her hard on the face, then sat down at the table, picked up a pen, and started writing furiously.

The next day, the Provisional Republican Government issued an announcement announcing the establishment of the State Administration of Taxation.
When the tax bureau was first established, it did not attract everyone's attention.
After all, the tax bureau specializes in collecting protection fees from everyone. But if a country wants to operate, it must rely on various tax supports.
No matter where it is placed, it is understandable.
Only the most attentive people will notice that all the tax policemen of the State Administration of Taxation are transferred from the most fierce and powerful SS in Naian.
Moreover, the director of the tax bureau is not a Semitic, but a human being, a famous human warrior, the young prince of the Ruman Empire, the chairman and general manager of the Flying Eagle Group, the Second Master Leo Lei.
This may seem inappropriate, because it is generally impossible for officials of a country to appoint foreigners. But according to the treaty signed between the Semitic Provisional Government and humans, humans lent large sums of money to the Semites, and this money
All must be pledged with taxes.
Therefore, it is natural to appoint humans to supervise taxes and ensure that Semites have the ability to repay.
It is said that Mr. Lei took the letter of appointment and immediately couldn't hold back his excitement. He sat on the ground and cried for a while at the top of his lungs like a wolf dog.
It’s not easy, it’s really not easy~!
In the past, it was Nicole and her gang of bastards who collected taxes from themselves, and they collected taxes in the thousands at every turn, without even blinking an eyebrow. It was as if they had a faucet on their body. As long as they were unscrewed, it would cause an explosion.
The ground flows out.
It’s all money~!
I earned it by smashing the beads of my sweat on the ground and sticking my butt out and working hard one coin after another.
As a result, I accepted it as soon as I was told, and there was no room for reasoning~!
That kind of pain is just like cutting flesh with a knife. It is definitely difficult to understand if you don't experience it yourself.
Finally, finally, now I have made it through. It’s finally my turn to collect taxes from others~!
What makes Mr. Lei most happy is that it also stipulates in detail that all taxes will be divided into two thousandths as his salary.
Two thousandths, this number seems small, but once multiplied by the Semitic's huge tax revenue, it is also a quite terrifying number.
Fiona was sitting in Lorraine's office, looking at Lei Er crying with snot and tears in his eyes. She couldn't help but worry, and asked Lorraine: "Is Leo okay? Nicole is just such a little brother.
If one of him comes, how will I explain it to his sister?"
Lorraine was smiling evilly... Bah, bah, she was really writing something happily. After listening to her words, she immediately raised her head, glanced out the window, and then shouted: "Leo, stop howling. Time is up.
Money, if you howl here for one more minute, you will earn at least two thousand gold coins."
Leo's crying outside the window suddenly stopped.
Immediately afterwards, Leo was seen getting up from the ground, and then he wiped the tears and snot from his face with his sleeves, and then shouted loudly: "Young men, gather together, we men are going to make a lot of money today.
"
He paused for a moment, and then shouted loudly in this direction: "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely learn from you, and I must scrape three feet of this Semitic tribe's territory~!"
Fiona's vision went dark, she staggered and fell into Lorraine's arms.
When she stood up again and wiped off the black line on her forehead, she saw Lei Er, Xiao Bai, and a large group of tax police rushing out of the door.
Looking at Leo's back, and then looking back to see Lorraine lying on the table with a wicked smile and writing something, Fiona suddenly felt a pang of regret in her heart for no reason: she had eaten enough to hold on, and she had nothing to do.
What's your idea?
These two scourges were already assholes as they were. But now that I came up with the idea, they must have become even more assholes~!
The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. She couldn't help but turn her head and look out the window, worried about her fellow Semites...
