Joining the ve company? Minerva has no doubt about this. After all, the ministers received a second salary from Li Lin is almost an open secret. By transporting materials to the north, they bear the orders for weapons manufacturing from various countries.
The company quickly started from an inconspicuous small business club and became the world's number one chaebol. It was nothing wrong to say that they were developed by war.
Minerva, who knew these inside stories, was a little difficult to understand. Why was Hammer, who had been able to maintain his calmness before, so angry when she mentioned ve company. Didn’t almost everyone know about those things?
"As long as war exists, the industries related to war will not disappear. Not only does Your Highness understand this truth, but we are also very clear about it. Although it is very helpless, it is also common sense in the world."
There is water and fish; there is air and wind; there is war and fighting; there must be people who manufacture and sell weapons somewhere. This is the eternal law of cause and effect.
Hanmo took a deep breath, and his face, which had just suppressed his emotions, became sinister again.[
"But, Your Highness. If someone controls the war and sells weapons to both sides at the same time, he hides in a safe place and counts money, and appreciates the fighting between others using the weapons they make - you think this kind of thing can this kind of guy
Be forgiven?"
Perhaps the war will not end until the distant future. But the one who joins the battlefield is the living human beings, not the chess piece at the mercy of others. This practice of letting others rush to bleed and make profits by themselves, no matter where
, it is acceptable to people.
"This kind of thing..."
"Those guys have been doing it all the time, but they are very secretive and never get a handle. But, your highness, please see--"
Michelle, who was beside him, stepped forward and took out two crossbows from under his long clothes.
Two crossbows were one large and one small. Minerva recognized at a glance that the smaller crossbow was a standard equipment of Charlemagne, while the larger one had no marks and had multiple injuries.
"The intact crossbow is a standard crossbow purchased by our army from Ve Company, and the other one-"
Hanmo pointed to the damaged crossbow and said unhappily:
"That was seized from the orc cavalry orcs. Their standard equipment. Please see your highness."
Hanmer nodded, Michelle nodded understandingly, took out the Phillips, quickly decomposed the two crossbows, removed them from the Charlemagne crossbow, and installed them on the orc crossbow. The damaged crossbow was only about minutes before and after.
It looks brand new. Shake the handle, wind the string, and the position of the sling slider are all smoothly and blocked. When you buckle the plate machine, the "bang" sound makes people feel worried.
"this……"
"It's not just crossbows, carriages, equipment, military rations, energy medicines, medical equipment and medicines - on the northern front. Both sides can easily obtain the desired parts from each other because these are all made of quantitative production using one specification
Out."
“…!!”
Using one specification to produce parts to achieve complete universalization - this is a completely out of reach for Wilt more than 10 years ago. Even if you are a master and apprentice in a workshop, you will use the same technical context.
There will be many differences in finished products created by tools. There are even fewer ones that can operate normally after interchangeable parts.
But with the emergence of a certain enterprise, the tremendous changes brought about by the innovation of specifications and standardization technology brought about by it, even Minerva, who grew up in the deep palace, was very clear. And Minerva also knew that the whole world has so far
Only "they" master that technology.
The name of that company is-
"Do you understand, Your Highness. Before humans or orcs achieve their respective goals of unifying the world, Ve Company has unified both parties in this regard. Then it makes huge profits through weapons trading."
Hanmo smiled bitterly, Minerva widened her eyes, her red lips slightly opened, but she couldn't say anything.
What can you say? What should you say? What is the truth? What are lies? The confused head has already judged these things.[
Hammer betrayed the country and the royal family. He kidnapped her and imprisoned the sinner. It was impossible for Minerva to believe everything he said just by his one-sided words and two crossbows. But his intuition told her that this man said
, very likely all are true.
The nature of merchants is to pursue interests. Morality is a secondary issue for them, and Li Lin is the successful merchant who shows this characteristic to the extreme.
If it is for the huge profits of the weapons trade, that person can do without hesitation to sell weapons to both parties in war.
While Minerva was in a state of chaos, Hammer continued to talk slowly.
"I have tried to expose this, but no one believes what we, the soldiers on the front line, say. No, the ministers have already known it, but they have devoted themselves to these dirty deals and profited from it.
Relying on them to take action, even if the frontline soldiers can show up in court and lack decisive evidence, the legal counsel of ve company can easily refute us."
Ve Company's lawyer team is the best professional and qualified lawyer team in the world, no one. They have long been dealing with judges in court, looking for loopholes in iron evidence provided by prosecutors, trying to mislead jury and public opinion, etc.
Rich experience. All night long, all kinds of legal loopholes and judicial rules, and as unconscience as their boss, can we ask the woman who was raped without blushing, "Is the child pregnant on Frost Moon 21? Who are you with that night?
Together, what are you doing?” and other questions, integrate rules, loopholes, and misleading to meet the needs of their bosses.
In addition, with the financial support of ve company, lawyers can also bribe judges, witnesses, juries, and other party’s defense lawyers to achieve the victory of the lawsuit. Even if the bribery law is implemented, violent means will be available in the end...
What stops Hanmo from revealing the truth and pursuing fairness and justice is such an iron triangle combination: a treacherous and cold-blooded dead merchant, an insensitive aristocratic bureaucrat, and a rule-savvy shameless scepter. Want to break through this combination,
Not an easy thing.
"We've tried everything, but no one listened to us."
After pausing, Hanmo looked up at the blue sky outside the iron, and said firmly:
"In order to stop these deceptions and corruption, it is time for someone to stand up. We must take back the country from the hands of those who are riding on the heads of the people and act as a hero and unrighteous slaughter, respect the king and seek evil, and implement the
Reform. For this reason, I am willing to bear the stigma of betrayal and be humiliated by the prisoners."
Minerva collapsed in her seat, opening her mouth to speak with a haggard look, but she couldn't speak.
No sense.
Hammo's thoughts intersect with her law. The other party has decided to give up everything and is willing to be enemies with the country and the chaebol. As a vested interest in the system, as well as the "collateral" of the chaebol and the royal family, Minerva
No matter how much you say, it doesn't make sense.
The silent Minerva never thought that the word "reform" that Hammer said would often be heard in the future. What revolves around this word is a series of rampages by the Army, as well as many "lower and superior" styles.
