Chapter 271 Gustian
Marquez had an ideal, which was to become the first president of Xingmatai and become the founding father of the republic. His ambition was subject to resistance from all sides. First of all, Lloyd, the company was equal to the Supreme Emperor, and his invisible hands managed everything about Xingmatai. Any behavior that triggered turmoil would cause the company's stock price to fall, interests were damaged, and stability overwhelmed. Therefore, the first thing that did not support Marquez to change the national system was Lloyd, who he could not afford to offend.
But people always have to realize their ideals, otherwise what is the difference between them and salted fish? Marquez hid this secret in his heart, and even his team members did not tell them that those people were just gathering together for the sake of their interests, they were mobs, slaves without ideal capital, and for their ideals, he could only fight alone.
But Marquez is not really only one person. He used the power of the Prime Minister to establish a secret agent organization. It is independent of the National Security Bureau of the Ministry of the Interior and is composed of a group of young people who are loyal to him, with a large amount of funds and resources. The name of the organization comes from the Malay word kesetiaan, which means loyalty, and it is transliterated as Gusdi'an.
Thiago is a member of Gusdien. In addition to the monthly salary and gray income of the police station, he also has a special allowance of one thousand dollars a month. His mission is to wander among all parties and help the Prime Minister find out the news. Recently, his mission scope has been narrowed, and he is specifically focused on His Majesty and see what his Majesty wants to do.
His Majesty really has a lot of ideas, and he asked Thiago to build a batch of arms.
Xingmatai cannot ban guns. The previous kings worship American culture and copied them together with gun culture. Various civil versions of guns can be bought in the gun shop in Xingmatai City, such as Remington shotguns and various pistols. Of course, the killer weapons such as fully automatic rifles are also prohibited from being sold, at least nominally prohibited, and automatic weapons smuggled from the southern part of the Philippines can still be purchased on the black market.
However, the automatic weapon rebellion created by the Philippines' private workshop is too vague. First, the quality is not good, and second, large-scale smuggling will also attract the attention of relevant departments. His Majesty Matteo really gave this task to Thiago without any help.
Thiago dared not make good decisions and reported to Gusdien's supervisor, who reported to Prime Minister Marquez.
...
Lin Changrong received an order to approach His Majesty Matteo and obtain information. He thought that his old man in his sixties could not talk to Matteo, so he handed over the task to his grandchildren, so he let them approach Fu Ping'an and then approach Matteo.
"Grandpa, are you asking us to be spies?" Lin Zuer was a little eager to try. Young people like adventure and excitement, and they didn't know that the family was already on the verge of danger.
"Just make friends, don't think too much, but if there is something happening there, grandpa should be the first to know." Lin Changrong's expression was very serious, "This is related to the safety of the Lin family and the life and death of Chinese people in Xingma and Taiwan."
The two children are about the same age as Fu Ping'an. When they were eight years old, many relatives and friends fled from Indonesia. The children can also experience the nervousness and fear of adults. If the tragedy in Indonesia in 1998 happened in Xingmatai, they would not dare to imagine it.
With such an important task, Lin Zuer asked Fu Ping'an to come out for coffee. The girl had a natural advantage in socializing and couldn't bear to take care of the wolf. Fu Ping'an really agreed. Lin Wei was worried about his sister and followed her. When she arrived at the place, she found that Fu Ping'an also brought a opposite sex, a lively Chinese girl.
When young people are together, there are always endless topics to talk about. Soon the four of them get familiar with each other. Lin Zuer suggested that they want to meet His Majesty the King.
"I have grown up so old, and I haven't seen His Majesty yet." Lin Zuer said, "I heard that His Majesty is a naughty child, and he is just causing trouble."
"What stories have you heard?" Fu Ping'an was very interested.
Lin Zuer told a few short stories about Matteo Ci that were circulated among the people, all kinds of pranks and all kinds of unreliable things. Everyone laughed when they heard this.
"Actually, I think he is quite cute. Such a king may not like politicians, but young people like it. Born in the royal family is not a happy thing, and it is even more miserable than being born in a noble family." Lin Zuer said, "For example, in the future, I may want to marry someone I don't like. For the benefit of the family, as a king, and I will be even more miserable, so I sympathize with him."
Fu Ping'an snapped his fingers, and the waiter wearing a snow-white uniform with a napkin on his arm responded, and said with a shiny mouthful of white teeth: "Sir, what can I help you?"
"Don't you want to know Your Majesty?" Fu Ping'an asked Lin Zuer with a smile.
Lin Zuer looked at the waiter and his mouth grew slowly and turned into an O-shaped shape, then reached out to cover his mouth.
"Good luck." The waiter said with a smile.
He is Matteo Tibiliu, who likes to play tricks and play tricks, pretend to be pigs and eat tigers.
The Lin brother and sister never expected to meet the king in this way, so they hurriedly got up to salute. Lin Zuer secretly thanked that he had made some trouble when the ended, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.
Matteo C also sat down. At first, the Lin brothers and sisters were still communicating in English, but Matteo C spoke Chinese, and his accent was more standard than that of the Chinese brothers and sisters, so the standard language for communication became Chinese.
After chatting for a while, Lin Zuer took out his cell phone and wanted to take a photo with Matteo Ci to tweet. Matteo Ci agreed happily. After the photoshoot, Lin Zuer asked: "Does Your Majesty have a Facebook? I'll add it."
Matteo Ci said: "I don't have it, and the royal family will not approve me to register an account."
"But you still have a small trumpet, right?" Lin Zuer smiled sly.
"You guessed it right." Matteo Ci took out his cell phone, everyone added to each other, and Lin Zuer said happily: "There is a king on my facebook."
"Your Majesty should make more friends and let your subjects know you." Lin Wei also expressed his opinion, "A kind, friendly and cheerful young king will like it."
"I'll try to add more friends," said Matteo.
"Facebook is not as good as Twitter." Lin Zuer said, "The essence of Facebook is relationship, the essence of Twitter is communication. Information in Facebook serves relationships, and relationships in Twitter serves information. If Your Majesty wants to expand his influence, Twitter is more suitable."
Mu Lan didn't understand these words around, and Fu Ping'an explained: "Facebook is like WeChat Moments. The photos and texts you send are all sent to your friends. People who can add you are basically familiar with them. Twitter is like Weibo. People who know or not can follow you. The larger the number of fans you have, the wider the scope of your spread."
Matteo Ci said: "Then I will also register a Twitter account, but I am afraid I cannot get official certification. Manager Santos will not help me prove it."
Everyone laughed.
"You are the king, not a certificate to prove it." Lin Zuer said, "It depends on the recognition of the subjects. I have 100,000 followers on Twitter, so I can help you advertise."
Matteo said, "But what did I say?"
Lin Zuer said: "In 140 words, you can say whatever you want. The length limits long and official articles, but instead makes those bureaucrats and politicians useless, but they are the stage for truly talented people to display their skills."
"It's amazing." Matteo Ci said.
...
During the first meeting, the Lin brother and sister established a friendship with the king. The news was passed to the parliamentarians through Lin Changrong and then to Marquez. The Prime Minister had a professional think tank team, and the team members had experience studying in Europe and the United States, legal or news background. They were usually the Prime Minister's aides and they ran for the team since the election.
Think tanks will analyze what Matteo Ci did. There is no doubt that Matteo Ci wants to do something, but it is for power. Throughout history, there are only a few ways to go to power, including inheritance, election, coup, uprising, assassination, and Matteo Ci's resources, there are not many options.
First of all, he is already the king, and there is no inheritance problem, and the king cannot participate in elections. The uprising has no mass base and prestige, so there are only two ways of coup and assassination.
Assassination is to eliminate obstacles, and the coup is to change the national system. Based on the recent intelligence analysis, Marquez's think tank believes that Matteo C will launch a small-scale, farce-like coup. He cannot even mobilize his own army and can only hire a mini army of foreigners to overthrow the government.
The Prime Minister is sure that his previous judgment is correct. His Majesty really wants to rebel, overthrow the elected government by force, and then monopolize the power. This is a reverse of history and an act that will inevitably be condemned by all walks of life.
But if you try to put out the flames now, the outside world will not believe in yourself. Matteo Ci must succeed in rebellion, and then turn the tide by himself, end the restoration farce, and then depose Matteo Ci and support the princess to succeed as a transition. The princess will definitely not live long. After the transition period, she will naturally amend the constitution and change the kingdom to a republic. In this way, she will not lose talk in public or private affairs, and Marquez will become a great figure like Washington.
Therefore, this batch of arms must be given to Matteo Ci to cause a big mess, but where can I go to find arms? Marquez didn't want to disturb the military. After thinking about it, he thought about the police department under the Ministry of Interior.
The main weapons used by the Star-Ma Taiwan police force are mainly American weapons, including the Garland and the M1 carbine during World War II, as well as the mini14 government-type small-caliber rifles imported in the 1970s. It is logical that they should have retired long ago, so it would be better to give these weapons to Matteo.
The Ministry of the Interior quickly issued a document, eliminating a batch of old guns. These scrapped weapons were packaged and sunk into the bottom of the sea for destruction. Thiago personally supervised the matter. He transported hundreds of guns to an island and sent red envelopes to the workers and crew. Everyone knew it well and no one would miss the news.
His Majesty Matteo Cy landed on the island and inspected weapons and equipment, about three hundred guns, one hundred Garlands, one hundred m1 carbines, and several older m1903s and Japanese rifles seized by the US military during World War II.
It is harder to make trouble with these grandfather's guns than climbing to the sky, but Matteo seemed very satisfied. He asked someone to wipe the gun and maintain it, and put it in a box with butter. As for where he went, Thiago didn't know. He guessed that he was hiding somewhere and then started it when the matter was infringed.
Thiago did not count, but he did not count that the batch of weapons returned to Xingmatai City and loaded containers at the dock to ship them to the United States. Matteo contacted an American auction company and hung these old guns from World War II for online auction. American guns have a long history and many people who love World War II weapons are there. Three hundred antique guns can be sold at a good price.
