Chapter 4680, somewhat bullying
Faced with General Iverson's words, both Luo Ji and Henry Bol fell into a brief silence.
During this period, they even exchanged vague glances.
The meaning in those eyes was obvious to each other.
Nowadays, only half of the star field under Luo Ji's rule is actually under his control, and the other half is under the management of the wing man, and that wing man is Henry Bol.
In every city, Yi people and humans each occupy roughly half of the city. Therefore, Luo Ji, the consul of the star field, does not actually have complete control over the entire star field.
At the same time, although Luo Ji, who governs the human city, has autonomy, the Holy Light Holy See still has to collect taxes from them regularly, and the tax collection ratio is 30% of the total tax revenue.
After taxes come in and 30% is paid, the rest is the development funds for their human urban areas.
Under this premise, the leaders of Yiren directly promised him ten years of independent development rights. To put it simply, within ten years, Luo Ji could freely develop and occupy territory in the undeveloped star field.
, and whatever he occupies is his own.
Although he still had to pay 10% of the tax on a regular basis, in these territories, Luo Ji could basically enjoy the treatment of a local emperor! He could even make his own laws!
From this point of view alone, it is still very tempting.
However, is it that simple?
Definitely not!
The key point is that it is in the occupied territory!
In other words, the premise for all this is that the Winged Legion has won the battle, regained the fallen territory, and even completely defeated the Zerg army.
Of course, it's not that Henry Bol thinks that their Holy Light Holy See army can't win the war, but that the above approach is equivalent to giving Luo Ji a bad check, which is somewhat lacking in sincerity.
At the same time, after draining Luo Ji's economy, he was given such a compensation that could not be realized immediately and even required financial and material resources to be invested. From this point of view, it was even more of a trap.
According to Henry Boll's understanding of the above people, they are basically unlikely to do such a thing.
This wave made it clear that it was the work of the ‘chief executive’.
Not only did he protect the interests of the higher-ups, but he also recognized that Luo Ji could not negotiate terms with them. It could be said that he was defeated.
From the other party's perspective, you can't say that the other party did anything wrong, but this approach is really a bit bullying.
Of course, regarding this point, Henry Bol still understood the chief executive relatively well.
In the past, when religious factions held great power, the life of the military faction could not be said to be bad, but it was average.
Basically, once normal internal military expenditures are deducted, there will be only a few cents left.
On weekdays, if you want to add equipment or conduct military exercises, you have to apply to the higher authorities, which may not necessarily be approved. After all, religious factions account for six votes.
This has destined members of the military faction to tighten their belts to a certain extent.
However, those generals, due to their character, are not destined to be a group of thrifty masters. Extra expenses from time to time make their military faction's life even poorer.
The chief consul at that time was responsible for coordinating all official affairs in the military faction except military operations, and military expenditures were of course also under his control.
Under this premise, if he didn't tighten his purse strings and live a life of digging and digging, then their armies would have gone bankrupt long ago.
Now that the military faction came to power, he has also transformed into the chief consul. His life is definitely not that poor, but the situation is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change! After so many years, I am afraid that this picky Sosou character will not be so poor.
It can't be changed.
To be able to sit in the position of chief executive, he must have the ability, experience and sophistication, but his clumsy personality is really not good enough.
When you were in your original position, considering the situation, no one would say anything if you were stingy.
But now that you are sitting in the position of chief consul, to a certain extent, you directly represent the face of their Holy Light Holy See!
If you do this again, you will be too petty.
In fact, since the change of power and the new chief executive taking office, the other party's behavior has aroused discussion and dissatisfaction among many officials below.
It doesn't mean that you should spend money lavishly, but writing a bad check like this, and even blackmailing people, is a bit inappropriate no matter how you think about it.
At this moment, Luo Ji definitely couldn't say anything, but Henry Bol stood up very loyally.
Of course, it wasn't all because of his loyalty.
The more important reason is that in Henry Bol's opinion, if the Chief Consul continues to do this, it may not be good for the future development of their Holy Light Holy See.
With this idea in mind, Henry Boer boldly asked...
"General Iverson, I would like to know whether this matter has been reported to the Thirty-Six Wing Council?"
As soon as Henry Bol asked this question, General Iverson, who was sitting in the main seat, already knew what the other person was thinking, and then sighed.
"I'm afraid not."
In the Thirty-Six Wings Council, although there is an additional Thomas Best, their military faction accounts for five votes. In essence, their military faction still has a voice.
The five adults of their military faction basically have no regard for government affairs. All government affairs are handed over to the chief consul with full authority and are then reported to them every week.
But in fact, this weekly report is more symbolic than practical.
Because they don't know the specific matters at all. To put it bluntly, they just listened to it symbolically. So far, they have not expressed any opinions.
Many of the reported matters must have been implemented before reporting, otherwise the overall efficiency will be too low.
The situation this time is basically the same. The most recent regular report was three days later...
After understanding this situation and having his thoughts straightened out, Henry Bol naturally made his thoughts clear to General Iverson in one breath.
During this process, General Iverson felt a sense of "Sure enough," but also a little helpless.
In fact, he felt this way too.
But this matter is not that simple to solve.
"I hope the general can convey these words to Lord Rodlin!"
After hearing this, General Iverson rubbed his eyebrows with a headache. Henry Bol really threw him a difficult problem.
However, considering the future of the Holy Light Holy See, he did feel that it was time to talk about this matter.
