Chapter 1412 New Country
Chapter 1412 New Country
It is an isolated island in the vast ocean. It was once a prison in history, but now it is recognized by the world as a pearl on the sea.
The City of Light was its earliest name, but with the influx of more and more nationalities and people, and the establishment of artificial islands on the edge, it is now called the Mingxi Islands.
This is not a transliteration, it is the writing and name of the Eastern Country. This world has been deeply influenced by the Eastern Country culture.
Although there are about 17 ethnic languages circulated among the people, the first official language is still Dongguk.
“What a beautiful city.”
Lu Ping'an stepped onto an outer artificial island. His ship had to complete replenishment and repairs here, and most of the crew members would also spend this period here.
The main island of the Mingxi Islands has long been overcrowded. During the ceremony, entry requires review and customs inspection. Lu Ping'an plans to go again in two days.
".Isn't this really some holiday beach?"
The large hotel was not far behind us, the beach in front of us was endless, bikini beauties were playing in the sea, and young waiters were serving the crowd.
Children chasing each other on the beach, young people playing volleyball, and old people taking a nap under the parasols, each has their own way of playing, but the only thing that remains unchanged is their smiles.
Not far away, there were vendors barbecuing, and next door, the host was holding a music festival with noisy lights and sounds.
This scene made Lu Ping'an feel like he was back at his hometown resort.
"This is where many wealthy businessmen and lords go on holiday."
On the beach nearby, Lulu, who was also wearing cool clothes, said unhappily while applying sunscreen on herself.
Her appearance here posed many problems. As a grand marshal and a candidate pursuing the position of supreme military commander, the fact that she was able to receive foreign guests at this critical time undoubtedly explained everything.
"Tsk, you know how to play."
Lu Ping'an took the watermelon juice from the waiter, took a sip, and then lay back in the lounge chair under the parasol.
He felt that the fatal fight some time ago was just like a dream. The fierce battle on the front line and the vacation in the back were too real and made him feel really weird.
What's even more subtle is that most of the consumers here are local residents like the Long-Handed People and the Fishmen. Of course, judging from the way they dress, they are basically not ordinary people.
".Sorry, private area."
From time to time, someone tried to strike up a conversation, but was stopped by the waiter.
People like Lu are one of the very few Eastern people who can enjoy such a leisurely vacation here. Naturally, they become the objects that local wealthy businessmen, officials, and senior military officers want to make friends with.
"How is the island?"
"You think I would know?"
It is not a good habit to answer a question with a rhetorical question, but Lu Ping'an also determined from the tone that Marshal Lu Lu's situation was indeed not good, and she should have been squeezed out of the core circle.
He smiled and said nothing. If Lu Lu didn't pursue control of the military top brass, she would be fine, but obviously, she didn't want to sit idle.
"Then, those people from Lin Nu Church seem to have gone to the main island."
"I know this. I should say that no one will forget it. They are a little bit..."
When answering this, Lu Lu looked helpless.
She was already in an awkward position of being semi-excluded, yet she was proactively informed of the Easterners' "excesses", which naturally had its reasons.
"Arrogant?"
"Yes, although the etiquette is very thorough, but can you convince the teacher of that condition?"
Obviously, what she was talking about should be "dual citizenship" and "a hundred years of tax exemption".
"Five quasi-gods and seventeen eighth-level gods jointly requested this. Are you sure that I, a seventh-level god, can stop it?"
Lu Ping'an smiled, and was happy to see that Lu Lu indeed showed a frustrated expression. Lu had nothing to say, as he himself was also a member of the joint name, and his name was listed among the eighth level.
"Teacher!!" Lu Lu was a little anxious, with some pleading in her voice.
"Even Dad can't do it."
"Dad!!"
".good."
Another round of tug of war began again. No matter how Lu Lu asked, Lu Ping'an would not agree to help intercede.
At this time, personal likes and dislikes are actually not important. When the group is fighting for the interests of everyone, if you do not move forward or retreat together, you will probably be cut off from your interest group.
This is a bit like the industry strikes organized by trade unions in some countries. Even if you have no objection to your current position or treatment, you cannot jump out to stop the strike unless you plan to change industries or are prepared to suffer from general exclusion and malice.
And Lu Lu couldn't just give up like that. She came closer and shook him hard, trying to shake Lu Ping'an's will.
Others may not know, but Lu Lu knows clearly that her "mentor" is probably one of the very few big shots who truly has "sympathy" for this world.
"By the way, how did the discussion about the guardian angel go?" Finally, Lu Ping'an found an opportunity and abruptly changed the subject.
"It's impossible to negotiate. There are too many gods now. It's impossible to let a quasi-god... Uncle Guan is only at the seventh level now. This matter can't even be brought to the table."
"Too."
Lu Ping'an hopes to add more "rules" to Guan Xinxian's priesthood.
Now the most suitable person to be the "anchor" is the patron saint of the new country or the long-handed tribe.
Since Guan Xinxian will be bound to this world in the short and medium term, Lu Ping'an will naturally strive for the best treatment.
But now, as various parties compete for interests, many gods have become interested in the new country. Under their joint competition, people like Guan Xinxian cannot even get at the table.
"Perhaps, only by becoming a god first, or at least showing miracles, can you have a chance to compete."
The patron saint of the new country is what Lu Ping'an wants most. If it is the patron saint of a certain tribe, it will be quite difficult for Guan Xinxian, who was born in the East, to win it.
"The God of Fishmen, maybe you can give it a try."
His "theologians" came up with a very surprising option, but it has been verified that the success rate is quite high.
The local fish-men tribe actually originated from defectors from the Octopus tribe. What they fear most is their own family and becoming slaves of the Octopus again.
The factors in their blood also require them to constantly resist the call of the "master". If there is a god who can help them in this regard and resist the temptation of the octopus, he will naturally gain their faith.
"And if it's the Disgusting Octopus, Senior Brother Guan probably won't refuse."
Of course, if there is a choice, the patron saint of the Long-Handed Tribe and the god of the state religion of the new country are obviously much better than the god of betrayal of the fishmen.
Lu Ping'an did not go to the main island, but he was actually communicating, understanding and interfering with the country in his own way. He tried to stay away from the vortex, at least not to get too close to the gambling table before placing a bet.
But he tried to stay away from trouble, but trouble found him first.
