My name is Ren

Chapter 466 An intelligence chief who doesn't want to be a businessman is not a good husband.
"War is actually far away from us!" Facing some foreign businessmen, it was necessary for Ren to appease their uneasy emotions.Yes, he is no longer the Lord of Ortrenburg, but apart from him, no one in this city dares to come here to be the Lord of the city. Queen Pars seems to have forgotten about this city and did not issue any appointments. make.

Not like a city lord, but better than a city lord!
"Isaac and Pelagos are still far away from us. If you want to meet those so-called rebels who will never fail, it may take a long time, or even have no chance to see them. The empire does not If they are destroyed, they will not be able to get here, after all, there is still the imperial capital and three provinces in between."

"The reason why I came back is to witness a new miracle." Some old Ortrenburgers laughed. They raised their heads and straightened their backs. A Tremberger feels inferior, which makes him proud.They performed one miracle and are now working on another.The amount of transactions completed in the Ortrenburg Free Trade Market in September has exceeded 100 million gold coins.

This number may still be a few steps away from Alexandria, but in the southeastern region of the entire empire, it is already second to none.The effect of the crowd-gathering effect is to allow more merchants to come here to seek opportunities with their own commodities.More and more people gather here, and more and more opportunities appear.The current Ortrenburg is the "City of Miracles" and "City of Shining Lights" praised by people, and it is no longer the city of crime and chaos.

The outbreak of the war made some businessmen excited about it, and some businessmen panicked because of it. Most of the panicked businessmen were honest businessmen, not speculators.They are more optimistic about and urgently need a stable trading market to safeguard their own interests.These people may not be so active in the general environment, but on the contrary, these people are the most solid cornerstone in the trading market.

"Secondly, it's also to stabilize the recent confusion of people's hearts." Ren stretched out his finger and pointed at the handrail, which shocked the spirits of the people in front of him.

Perhaps because of the war, the crime rate in Bell Province has been on the rise recently.Not to mention other places, in Ortrenburg alone, the number of cases is increasing every day, which is not a good phenomenon.For Rennes, Ortrenburg cannot tolerate any problems. It is not only his base, but also connects the entrance and exit of the extreme arctic ice sheet.

So Ren needs to personally appease the emotions of these people, and promise them that not only the imperial rebels will not affect them, even the Byron Empire will not affect the trade here.At the same time, some sand should also be removed, and the issue of law and order should be dealt with severely.

Several caravans have been closely monitored. There are caravans from the Byron Empire and domestic caravans. They all have the same characteristic-love to inquire.

It is not uncommon for businessmen to inquire. The more successful a businessman is, the more he likes to inquire about news, big and small.But most of what they inquired about was the exchange of trading items and the market's demand for commodities, rather than the administrative and military arrangements of Ortrenburg or even the entire Bell Province.Not to mention his daily life in Rennes, and where he often appears.

The purpose of these people is not pure, so they have to be monitored.

If it weren't for the extreme sensitivity of this pass, the easy slaughter of the caravan would have brought a series of bad effects, and Rennes would have had these idiots killed long ago.

He is waiting, waiting for the other party to take the initiative to put the opportunity in his hands.

And these people are indeed putting nooses on their heads in different ways.

Piev, the chief intelligence officer of the Byron Empire in Bell Province, is responsible for all political, military, and people's livelihood intelligence in Bell Province.This department has been around for almost 100 years, and yet it is of no use.Piev himself knew very well that no matter how well the intelligence was collected, the Byron Empire would not muster up the courage to fight against the Orlando Empire, and he had already made a conclusion on this point.

Unlike the Orlando Empire, where the Desi people are the main race, the Byron Empire has always adhered to an inclusive national policy, constantly absorbing various non-human races, to a certain extent, it is the strength and prosperity of the Byron Empire. played a very crucial role.But at the same time, it is precisely because of this inclusive national policy that the Byron Empire has a large number of races and cannot form an effective and unified political environment.

Each race is fighting for the interests of its own race as much as possible, and they focus on internal struggles.

Last month, Charlie the Lionheart was still fighting for a newly discovered mineral lode with the black elves in Congress; the spokesperson of the giant dragon clan, the half-dragon, even asked the empire to completely open up the trade market, trying to use the monopoly The Naga clan even outspokenly accused the Byron royal family of persecuting the Naga clan, demanding that the Byron royal family not only apologize publicly, but also compensate the fiefdom and supplies...

The officialdom of the entire Byron Empire has become a game hall where various races compete for power and profit. Even the civil war in the Orlando Empire cannot arouse their interest.

Yes, Piev is very sure of this, even though the empire has begun to send more spies to infiltrate the Orlando Empire, that is just a fig leaf for the royal family.They can't do nothing while their neighbors are in civil war, can they?Always do something to let the people below know that the Byron royal family is still aggressive-shit!
Piev has been in the Orlando Empire for more than 20 years. He himself is a Desi, which is not surprising. There are also some Desi in the Byron Empire.These Desi people have fully adapted to the relaxed political environment in the Byron Empire, and no longer think about returning to the Orlando Empire.

In the past 20 years, Piev believes that the Byron Empire actually had several opportunities to invade the Orlando Empire, and expand the results in one fell swoop, even occupying half of the territory of the Orlando Empire.However, these opportunities are all in Congress, and they have become history in the wrangling of those big names.It's as if the Byron Empire doesn't want to go to war with Orlando.

Of course, Piev would not say such a thing. If he told others, then he would be courting death, because he broke the tacit understanding among the multiple races in the empire.

"President, Mr. Okun has already brought his things." His subordinate knocked on the door, which disturbed his thinking. Piev didn't blame him, but nodded and stood up.Okun is the person in charge of secretly infiltrating Bale Province from the Byron Empire this time, and will also replace him as the new intelligence chief.

Orken has a nickname in the empire, called the smiling assassin.This guy is just a smiling dragon who can nod and bow to people, and pull out a knife behind his back, without any morals at all.

He said a word, which once caused a sensation-the interests of the country are above everything about race and individuals. If necessary, everyone should maintain a strong belief in sacrificing for the country.

This sentence has created a number of radical groups, but it is not limited to this.

The last time the two met was [-] or [-] years ago. Piev had a brief exchange when he returned to China to report on his work. Since then, the two have never met again.

After tidying up his clothes, Piev walked into the living room with his head upright and his chest upright. He stretched out his hands and greeted him with a smile. The fat guy greeted him with a sincere smile on his face and raised his hands.

"Long time no see. I didn't expect that your demeanor, Piev, hasn't weakened in the slightest, just like it was more than ten years ago." Oken praised Piev, and smiled at himself, "I've aged a lot, let's go Children often call me grandpa on the street, I am really old." He shook his head with a wry smile.

Piev laughed, "You are mocking me, mocking me for not working hard and spending all my time eating, drinking, and having fun." He countered a little, but he didn't expect, Oken's very first sentence had a needle in it, which gave him a bad premonition.That meant Okun wasn't happy with his job, nor with the work of Bell Intelligence in general.

It's just that he's new here, so it's not convenient for him to say it directly, so he told Piev his attitude in this indirect way.

Oken waved his hand quickly after letting go, "You are framing me, how could I have such an idea? But having said that, I have never had a chance to rest these years, and I am busy with this and that every day, all day long. I'm all tied down by all kinds of things, without the slightest chance to breathe, I've had enough of these days." The two sat down one after another, the smiles on their faces seemed to tell everyone how close they were to each other friend, "So this time I applied to come to the Orlando Empire, on the one hand, to find out what is true in Orlando, and on the other hand, to rest for a while."

Piev's smile faded slightly. He understood that this was Okun's dissatisfaction with his work attitude and results, and he always regarded this place as a place for retirement.But he didn't bother to refute. Domestic intelligence work and foreign intelligence work are definitely not the same thing.In China, with the support of the royal family and nobles, anyone who is careful and bold can do intelligence work impressively.

But in foreign countries, being cautious and bold will become a fatal flaw.No one here would buy the account of the royal family of the Byron Empire, let alone give face to another country.As long as it is exposed, it will be attacked like a storm, and if it is not careful, it will stay on this land forever.

After Oaken suffered a few losses, he might understand this truth.

"Is there any specific plan for the empire this time?" Piev gave up continuing to chat with Okun, and began to ask about work matters. If the empire has a complete set of plans and plans, the chances of war may increase. Some.If not, it means that the various races in the empire are still arguing, and they will continue to arguing when this critical time comes.

Oken smiled and shook his head, "These things are classified!" He meant that you, Piev, are going to leave soon, so you have no right to know these secrets, "Please forgive my presumptuousness, it is really because of these The plan is too important, so...", he laughed a few times, he believed that Piev knew what he wanted to express.

Piev cursed inwardly with a smile, he didn't talk about such sloppy things at all. At the same time, he also keenly grasped a piece of information, that is, there was no complete plan in the empire.If so, Oken would definitely not look like this, even if he didn't say it, he wouldn't show an expression of "I know, but I just won't tell you this weak chicken".His exaggerated attitude and tone deceived Piev with "there is such a thing", but betrayed Okun's inner world.

Frustrated, Piev didn't want to go any further, anyway, no matter what the final result was, it had nothing to do with him, the former intelligence chief.He will get a large sum of money, and with the money he earned in Orlando over the years, he will return to the Byron Empire to enjoy his leisure time after retirement.

20 years is too long for the leader of an intelligence organization!Many intelligence personnel will retire in ten years or so, and no one will continue to work for a long time.This is not a question of whether you want to continue to do it, but a personal physical and psychological problem.After retirement, many intelligence personnel will feel a little hysterical. They always feel that someone is going to assassinate them. They are suspicious all day long and see everyone as a killer, which eventually leads to emotional breakdown.

Either become a lunatic and be imprisoned in a lunatic asylum to fend for himself.

Or become a sociopathic killer, constantly killing people they think might hurt them.

Up to now, Piev has been able to maintain a relatively calm and rational mind, thank God, Goddess of Nature.

So for leaving here, leaving his job, retiring at the most energetic time in his life, he didn't resist at all, and he was very happy about it.

Soon the work of the two was handed over. In fact, there was nothing to hand over. There was already a complete file in the East and West Empire here. The so-called handover was nothing more than a personnel handover.

Piev left the chamber of commerce with his own things, without the slightest bit of nostalgia.

During these 20 years, Piev was apparently the chairman of a chamber of commerce in the Orlando Empire, operating some insignificant commodities, and of course the profits were not bad.Part of these profits became funds for intelligence work, and the other part was put into his pocket.No matter what he is now, he can be regarded as a successful businessman. After returning to the Byron Empire, he is considering whether to form a business group to play.

Compared with espionage work, being a businessman seems to be his real hobby.

With a light car, Piev took his belongings and headed towards the pass. He didn't have the slightest worry. Every two years, he would return to the Byron Empire to report on his duties.Sometimes he would personally go back to the Byron Empire to buy a batch of supplies that were in short supply. He had a good relationship with the pass, including the inspections in Ortrenburg, and at least he was acquainted with each other.

When the towering city wall of the pass stood in front of his eyes, he suddenly panicked for no reason.He looked around, and there seemed to be nothing unusual. He lowered his voice and told the driver to speed up.

As long as the carriage passes the pass, he will be safe. After changing transportation, he can return to China in at most three days and enjoy his retirement time.

At the thought of meeting his family soon, he suppressed the unease in his heart, leaving only infinite longing.
