Heart of Empire Chapter 296: Fight
Under the forceful means of the head of the Velina army, the entire Shahai Bay Port temporarily lost their voices.
People seem to have never thought that this woman who is Dane's spokesperson and controls Shawan Harbor can be so tough.
Four businessmen who were severely fined and penniless were directly driven out of Shawan Port. And was warned that anyone who dares to enter Shawan Harbor in his lifetime will be killed.
There is no doubt that these four people are the 'chicken' that Verina used to show the monkey to kill the chicken, but there is more than one 'chicken'.
On June 28th, the day after the four tax-resisting businessmen were dealt with in public, and also the day after Palan led two brigades of soldiers to the dock, something happened again.
It is tax resistance again, and there are two foreign businessmen who "do not understand and are very dissatisfied with the new law of Shawan Port". Palan, who had already received Verina's order, didn't even need to ask for instructions this time, and did it directly at the dock.
Those two businessmen saw that the situation was not good, and they were not stupid enough to confront Palan's soldiers head-on on the spot. The boats moored on the shore turned around and ran away.
But how fast can a merchant ship full of cargo go?
Not long after leaving the port, the businessman who chose to run away was intercepted by a fast boat belonging to the former port guard.
The temporary tax department at the terminal is very efficient. The arrest on the same day, the calculation of the fines required for resisting taxes on the same day, and the punishment on the same day, everything was carried out under the noses of everyone.
The signal released by this is already very obvious: whoever dares to provoke trouble at this time will die.
Verina and Palan felt that the six businessmen who chose to resist the tax must be inseparable from the General Affairs Office and the commercial guild in Shawan Port. They must have been instructed and relied on , Those businessmen will make such a provocative choice.
But under her thunderbolt method, this unhealthy trend was not quickly curbed.
This kind of punishment for confiscating all property is not too different from the death penalty for businessmen. And after six people were severely punished in a row, in the next few days, logically, no one would dare to take all their belongings to continue to confront Verina.
But things are so strange.
Every day, almost one or more businessmen, after entering the port, clashed with the soldiers guarding the port because of the new tax bill, and then were fined all their belongings.
Once or twice, Verina can feel that it is a temptation from the General Affairs Office. But every day, she realized that those big businessmen and big chambers of commerce had already made moves.
Soon, the intelligence agencies affiliated to Chapple scattered in Shawan Port and some other places sent her news.
The "unreasonable" tax increase bill at Shawan Port is very pitiful, and it is completely unreasonable exploitation of businessmen. Meanwhile, Verina, who is now the acting lord of Sandy Bay Harbor, is a moody, brutal, and brutal woman.
This news spread rapidly at an unusual speed, and in the process of spreading, it was obviously demonized intentionally.
This is obviously the trick of the Ministry of General Affairs. According to Verina, these guys are planning to put pressure on themselves by expanding public opinion. And the worst thing is that if this kind of news really spreads all over the sky, it will definitely affect the commercial trade of Shawan Port.
However, Velina is not unable to deal with this move.
Mingli, she began to increase the intensity of sending her soldiers to patrol Shawan Port, preaching to the people in the port that the new tax law is 'serving the people', and further shaping Dane and her own light image. At the same time, the patrolling soldiers also began to look for and arrest rumorers in the city, which more or less achieved some results.
In secret, Chapple spent several months, and finally relied on the former intelligence system of White Wolf Castle, and the intelligence department that was rearranged and rebuilt also began to exert its strength. They made a lot of claims that were beneficial to Shahai Bay Port, and they used rumors to fight rumors. At the same time, they secretly tracked down the rumor spreaders of the other party, and handed them over to Verina to deal with.
Swinging both fists together, the spread and influence of these rumors cannot be said to have been completely eliminated, but at least with effective responses, the General Affairs Office's use of public opinion has been more or less contained.
But before Verina could catch her breath, the opponent's second set of moves came.
It was a riot in the Underworld.
There are a lot of gray practitioners in Shawan Port. From legitimate mercenaries, to gangsters and gangsters who collect protection fees and hang out on the streets, to criminals or robbers who absconded, and even pirates who quit their jobs, there are many in Shawan Port.
It is impossible for any city to completely eradicate these things, and Shawan Port is also an exception. They hide among the crowd, it is not easy to be caught, and it is quite troublesome to make trouble.
In the following period of time, the number of security incidents in Shawan Port increased significantly. Among them, theft is the main one, a small amount of burglary, and a small amount of street gang fights, which made the security battalion in a state of desperation for a while.
At this juncture, when such a sudden increase in security incidents occurred, Verina directly linked these incidents with the General Affairs Office. Just like those guys who resisted taxes and spread rumors before, even though it was a practice without evidence, she would rather think that the people from the General Affairs Office were messing with her, and she would not naively think that these things were true. It's just by chance.
Since everyone already felt that it was the other party who made the move, how could Velina not respond?
When the third regiment was entangled in these matters~IndoMTL.com~she decisively drew 600 troops from the first regiment of the garrison army stationed in the White Wolf Castle and was replenishing its troops. Another 300 people were transferred from Rotten Town, and they were urgently transferred to Shawan Port to intensify inspections in the port city.
On July 4th, after these dispatched support arrived, she launched Chapple's intelligence department, captured several gang leaders who had always been related to big businessmen, and gave them a thunderous blow. hit.
On that day, there was a lot of chaos in Shawan Port, and the three gangsters who had figured out the situation were directly uprooted and all arrested.
At the same time, through the clues of these arrested and expelled gang organizations, Velina continued to search for the traces of the big businessmen in Shawan Harbor related to them, and directly climbed to the Bite up.
Her idea is: You make me feel bad, and I will not make you feel good.
