Chapter 310 The Sons' Answer Sheet
Nagalil is poor.

Before deciding on this question, there is another question, how poor can be called very poor?
In Nagalil, at least 20.00% to 30.00% of the people, from their birth to their death, have never owned a banknote of their own.

It is difficult for people to calculate how much income ordinary people have in a year, because most of their income is barter exchange, and these things are also necessities of life, which are quickly consumed in their daily life.

So much so that at the end of the year, their home might just have some extra food on hand, two or three extra clothes, or a solid patch on the leaky roof, and that's it, and that's it.

However, the ruling class lives a life comparable to that of the upper class in some developed countries, a life of luxury and money, and it can be seen from the gold-rimmed table in front of the governor that he is very rich.

Not only is he rich, but the businessmen who serve the ruling class are also rich.

Except that they do not have relatively absolute power in their hands, they have actually become part of the ruling class in Nagalil, and some people are even more powerful than the rulers at the bottom.

For example, the largest business firm in Nagalil, "Preton Firm", the owner behind it, Mr. Preton, has a very shallow personal relationship with most of the provincial governors.

Every year, the ruler here imports various commodities and industrial equipment from abroad through the way of Mr. Pretton. The more people rely on him, the greater the influence he can transform into short-term power.

People can't live without him, and at the same time hate him, he sucks blood like a vampire, for example, a luxury car that costs less than 30 federal soles in the country of production, he just uses a boat to pull it to Namibia Galil, the ruling class will have to pay at least 40 to [-] federal soles for this.

But people can't do without him, the reason is very simple, there are many things that only Mr. Pretton has access to, and he also has relative power in the sea.

Even 100 years later, people will not be able to eliminate the profession of pirates, let alone now.

There are many various pirate groups floating in the vast sea, some of them are said to have some relationship with Mr. Pretton, except for Mr. Pretton's merchant ship and some other merchant's merchant ships, those ordinary merchants It is difficult for merchant ships to enter Nagalil.

This also makes it impossible for people to bypass these merchants if they want to import things from abroad, especially things with huge profits.

Even if the ruler of Nagalil had contacted himself, there was a good chance that it would be robbed and sunk at sea.

Send out the army to escort?

This is a good idea. Let’s not discuss whether the foreign ports and sea areas allow the warships of Nagalil to approach and dock, nor discuss whether the cost of dispatching warships is higher than the quotations of those merchants, let alone discuss whether they are opponents of pirates. , just energy consumption is enough to give them a headache for a while.

Nagalil does have very rich mineral resources, but these resources have not been developed, including an oil mine that they have actually proven, and have not been developed.

After the exploration team discovered an oil field hidden deep in the jungle, their first thought was to develop it across borders. The leader of the exploration team did not consider letting the local indigenous people develop it. Instead, he chose to contact the country and find a way through politics. Influence, whether it is coercion or temptation, won the right to exploit this oil field.

This incident was leaked before it was formed. After urgent consultations between the central government of the United Kingdom of Nagalil and various provincial governors, a man-made accident was created. The exploration team was accidentally attacked by a ferocious beast, and eventually died in the belly of the beast.

To prove this, Nagalil officials also sent a search and rescue team, and successfully captured the predators that attacked them, and dissected some identifiable stumps from their bodies.

Also from this time on, Nagalil refused the expedition team to enter Nagalil for mineral exploration. They were unable to protect their underground mineral deposits, and even the ruling class would lose their dominance because of these mineral resources, so they simply refused Give others a chance.

Everyone does not mine, so there will be no problems. Foreign countries have always been very confident that there may be rich mineral resources here, but no one will take it seriously until something is actually explored.

The uncooperative attitude of the central government of Nagalil, those capitalists will not incite their country to go to war with Nagalil because of some uncertain things, and they are still fighting a theocratic country.

A theocratic country has a characteristic, that is, when people shout the name of the gods, the cowardly and cowardly natives in front of the artillery will instantly become extremely brave and fearless of death.

The development of mineral resources requires going deep into the jungle and occupying areas, which means that if they really do that, even if they take down some areas, the situation will eventually be corrupted.

People's reckless suicide attacks are enough to make everyone miserable, unless they can kill all believers.

For some uncertain resources, it is necessary to drag a country into the water for a long offensive and defensive war in occupied areas. No one will do that.

There is no oil field of its own, which means that Nagalil's military equipment energy depends on imports.

So even if Nagalil's less powerful warships are to be dispatched, they must first buy some oil from Mr. Preton, and then use it to reduce their dependence on Mr. Preton...

Well, this is a nonsense thing. Compared with such a complicated process, it is better to directly satisfy their demands for interests, which will save some trouble.

The ruling class hates these businessmen and cannot do without them, which is why the second son of Governor Degra wants Lynch to fight those businessmen.

If Lynch wins and Mr. Pretton loses, then some of the existing rules will disappear with the disappearance of Mr. Pretton. It took a few years or more, and for the local rulers, they made a lot of money.

If Lynch loses, there will be no loss for the rulers. They can directly "confiscate" Lynch's local assets, and Mr. Pretton will also lose in the struggle with Lynch. His attitude will soften considerably.

From the point of view of the governor's second son, this is the best choice. No matter what they choose, they are all winners.

Sitting behind the desk with half-closed eyes, the provincial governor thought quickly, he hesitated a little, his reason told him that this was not a good choice.

Over the years, he has seen through the essence of those businessmen. They are no different from the wolf on the grassland. They are greedy, insidious, cunning, cruel, and cold-blooded. They are not interested in anything except profit.

The wolf pack will have an internal struggle every few years. After the young wolves grow up, they will challenge the wolf king. After the wolf king fails, a new wolf king will emerge, and the number and territory of the wolf pack will continue to expand accordingly. Until they come across another pack of wolves.

Eventually the Zebras would converge into a pack, a larger and creepier pack, and so would the merchants.

From the very beginning, they fought on their own, competing for trade rights and even fighting at sea. Now they have eliminated those unstable factors and started to cooperate closely. There is no difference between them and wolves.

Throwing Lynch into this pack of wolves is not a good idea, because he is not an ordinary wolf, and he is likely to cause a series of unforeseen problems, just like asking him to take a stand this time.

Before that, no one knew that he would eventually throw the question back and become a problem for them who made the question.

The Governor-General shook his head, looked up at the third child, "What about you?"

The smile on the second child's face suddenly froze, and the eldest brother who had an unattractive complexion smiled a little. He even comforted his younger brother, and changed his face in an instant, becoming a good older brother.

The third child is younger than the first two. He has also gone to school abroad, and his understanding of developed countries is far better than that of the two older brothers.

He calmly asked the governor a question, "Why don't we choose to cooperate with Lynch?" He then began to elaborate on his thoughts, "The ultimate goal of these businessmen and capitalists is nothing more than to obtain more Money, we can give him benefits, but he has to provide corresponding returns."

"He wants to monopolize, yes, but our condition can't be limited to how much money he has deposited in the bank, but how much return he will give us."

"Father, if you have money, everything is easy to do, and once we reach a cooperation with Lynch, Mr. Pretton and others will regard Lynch as an enemy, because Lynch is with us, they can't be Together!"

The Governor-General looked at the youngest who was usually not showing any signs of dew in surprise. His words may not fully meet the thoughts in the Governor-General's heart, but it can be said that they are very close.

He nodded slightly, which made the eldest and second look at the third with unkind eyes, but the third smiled shyly, as if trying to curry favor with the two elder brothers.

The governor looked at the remaining two sons again. These two sons have nothing to say. Let the three people in front say what should be said and what should not be said. The more mistakes they make, the more they will only make the provincial governor feel that they are very incompetent.

The provincial governor is also very aware of the choice of these two sons, he did not criticize, sometimes born in such a family, the order of birth is really very important.

After pausing for a while, he sighed, "You guys caused this, so you should end it. I don't want to know what you did, I just want to see the result!"

In the end, he decided to leave the choice of how to do it to these sons.

It was precisely because of this attempt to let them handle these matters that he unexpectedly discovered that the third child had more brains than his two elder brothers, so he might as well let them toss about it, and there might be unexpected surprises.

As for the event of a breakup, he can calmly stand up and clean up the mess.
