"Yes, but for ordinary people, there is nothing wrong with putting their eyes on the land under their feet." Lao Xia said helplessly, because there is no way to do it. Compared with the distant starry sky, tomorrow's rations are more critical. It is also the reason why he and a person of origin like Shi Huaiya can share a common language.
Because you really can't discuss things above the sky with those who care more about what to eat tomorrow, how much money you earn, and who are exhausted for fame, power, status and vanity. You talk about the distant starry sky, the burning They will not touch anything while the sun and the veil of nebula, which is so beautiful but empty.
This is the case, including Skadi. Of course, she is aquatic. You should talk about the deep sea landscape when you talk about these things with her. Unfortunately, most of the Terra girls, whether you talk about the deep sea or the distant starry sky, will be regarded as no Interesting and boring, talking about technology, philosophy and politics is treated as wood, you can only talk to them about vulgar jewelry, trendy fashion and small fresh meat that you can't appreciate.
However, Shi Huaiya is an exception, because she doesn't care about these jewelry, fashion and other things. It's just everyday wear, so I don't think there's anything unusual about it.
On the contrary, if you talk about these magnificent things and these profound things with her, it will make the other party feel very romantic and emotional, not only women are like this, men are not much better—just in comparison Well, men prefer Jianzheng, but it's just Jianzheng, and some even think you "what's the use of saying this?".
"Dangdang!" The ship's bell rang, and the land ship entered the mobile city to call at the port. As a luxury cruise ship with a ticket close to six figures, it would naturally not enter the dock in the lower area, but directly docked at the port for the upper class. There is a docked VIP channel.
The money for the boat ticket was paid by Shi Huaiya, to be precise, by the old and sick tiger. His idea was to return the whole "Prince" as soon as possible, but what he didn't know was that because of the symbiont, the embryo had actually been implanted , just inhibit the development speed of the embryo to reduce the damage to the mother.
The symbiont follows the process of embryonic development of the placenta, and wraps a layer outside the capillary that penetrates into the mother's blood vessels, which greatly reduces the pain of the mother and makes it easier to pull out during childbirth without causing massive bleeding. 【Note 1】
And the side effects are not without it, that is, the mother cannot take any anti-inflammatory drugs during this period, and will be in a low-grade fever state from time to time, because the aggressive behavior of the symbiont will trigger the immune system to respond. Symptoms can last for a long time.
For the Star Alliance, they can know immediately whether they are pregnant or not. However, for the cubs who do not have a symbiont, they don’t feel it at all. They don’t even feel morning sickness or slight pain. After about two months, they find that their good friend has not come. Is she going to blow her head off?
"You two~" As soon as they set foot on the ground of the city, two tall men in suits and leather shoes blocked the way of Lao Xia and Shi Huaiya, "His Excellency Corleone wishes to invite Mr. Xia and his wife to the residence as guests."
"I know" Although there is no formal intention to exchange such visits, there is a private exchange of information.
"Please~" An extended vehicle was parked on the side of the road, and there were two vehicles full of bodyguards at the front and rear. The shield guards who were in charge of security near Lao Xia did not respond at all, and soon two wheeled armored vehicles came out of the cruise ship warehouse Come out and go up the circular ramp.
"You can trust our strength." This made the tall man in charge of the defense frown a little. This behavior of the guest is undoubtedly a distrust of the host. However, the other party is indeed a distinguished guest with an unusual status, and he can't say it is more serious. words.
"Don't get me wrong, they are just doing their own responsibilities, and..." Shi Huaiya looked at each other with a half-smile, she knew what happened to the family a few days ago, a group of assassins broke into the mansion, Although it was repelled, it also caused one of the godfather's right-hand men to leave for some reason. At this time, it is undoubtedly difficult for the other party to convince people to trust their power.
"Please" the man's face became ugly, but the two in front of him were more troublesome than the other, and they couldn't be thrown from the edge of the mobile city's deck like those ignorant guys, allowing them to be eaten by giant carnivorous insects.
And the other party is telling the truth, the godfather is only the godfather, he is just the leader of the largest family, for the underground world of Syracuse, his absolute power can only cover 1/3, and the rest needs to be compromised with other families , and the government to compromise to fulfill.
If these two guests were really attacked, then the Corleone family would immediately become the biggest joke in Syracuse. Some people were waiting to see their fun, and there were even traitors within the family. Otherwise, the assassins would Directly entering the family mansion to attack is not as successful as directly attacking the royal palace or government buildings in Syracuse.
【Note [-]】
The paternal symbiont extends along the direction of the placenta's rooting, forming a capillary sheath that prevents the fetus from quickly absorbing the mother's nutrition, and also provides additional nutrients when the mother's nutrition supply is sufficient.
For the Covenant with symbionts, the maternal symbiont will also respond after discovering the entry of the alien micromachines, and form a hemangioma-like structure in the extrauterine blood vessels, and directly obtain additional nutrients from the stomach. At this stage, the maternal appetite will become extremely prosperous.
However, in order to avoid increasing the gastrointestinal and cardiovascular burden, the hospital will recommend that mothers who choose to conceive naturally choose to directly take concentrated drugs and puncture injections to provide the necessary protein and nutrients for the commensal biotumor.
Subsequently, the paternal symbiont and the maternal symbiont together form an outer membrane that wraps the placenta and the embryo, transports nutrients at a higher intensity, and protects the fetus from miscarriage due to external shocks and other reasons, while further reducing the pain of the mother.
During childbirth, due to the existence of the capillary sheath, the placenta can come out very smoothly, and it is not easy to cause dystocia and bleeding, just like pulling out the pen from the cap.In the next month, the micromechanical capillary sheath will be squeezed out by the healing tissue, and then form a barrier in the uterus to prevent the mother from becoming pregnant again in the short term.
Serial childbirth is a cruel and inhumane destruction to women's health. Even if the Star Alliance aims to increase the population to the maximum, it is not at the expense of the mother's health and life.
This barrier will last for 3 to 4 years, until the regular health check (part of the Star Alliance medical insurance) confirms that the mother has the possibility of re-pregnancy, then the release agent will be injected. Of course, the other party’s personal wishes will also be respected, such as unwillingness to have children. Or if you give birth again, you can continue to maintain this barrier in this way, and the embryo will not be able to implant smoothly, and will be wrapped by micro-machines and then discharged.
Chapter 31 Motivation?
The people of Syracuse are closer to the people of Dayan, and they pay more attention to family and face. This is reflected in the hospitality, that is, while showing enthusiasm, they also abide by the etiquette very much. If the guests appear to be rude, they will also feel Very offended.
Of course, usually the guests who come to Syracuse for the first time will get some tolerance and preferential treatment, even for the Syracusans, it is no different from the mansion of the godfather in Longtan Tiger Cave, or to use the famous lines in Rulong: Gangsters are creatures who live in face!
The convoy soon arrived at the mansion on the edge of the city, surrounded by the manor of the godfather, which can be regarded as a tacit agreement with the Syracuse government. He did not bring weapons and armed personnel into the city, and the Syracuse government Also give him due respect and compromise.
"Wouldn't it be difficult to attack here?" Shi Huaiya looked around and evaluated their defense from the perspective of an experienced commander of the Longmen Guard Bureau, "The manor itself is protected by ancient stone walls. One circle is the servant’s room and the open and unsheltered area, and the periphery is the villas serving Mr. Corleone’s subordinates. According to how many bodyguards each trusted leader has, breaking through here is no better than breaking through a road full of people. The streets of barricades are easier"
"..." The face in the black suit on the driver's seat was distorted, and he kept comforting himself. These people are outsiders, outsiders, who don't know the local rules, don't understand the local rules, and are of high status and young talents. Take a deep breath without getting angry.
Of course, he also knew that if he got angry at this time, the godfather would definitely deal with him first instead of these guests. If the guests quarreled, the godfather would never tolerate it again.
"Because the 'family' of Syracuse itself has this function in it." During the Gaul invasion, the Syracusans launched a large-scale resistance, and then formed large and small families based on blood, region, and feudal lord attachment. Small "communes" organized resistance and built barricades.
And these communes are the embryonic form of the current Syracuse mafia "family", and have expanded from a complete blood relationship to a higher level of cultural identity and national identity. This is also if a higher level of narrative cannot be proposed, Then it is difficult for these "families" to disappear from Syracuse. [Corresponding to the Sicilian Evening Prayer Uprising, it is indeed the origin of the Mafia Mafia]
"But now Gaul is gone."
"But Leitania is still there?" This question is like saying that the French Frederick Dynasty is gone, and the throne of the King of Sicily is gone, but the French Republic is still there.
The change of the country name does not mean that the hatred and antagonism will disappear, even as far as the Syracusans are concerned, it will become more profound, because the other party said that it was the king of Gaul. There is no need to pay off debts for such things.
It's almost like, you're asking the Gauls to shut me up in Letania. This is also the biggest conflict between these two countries in modern times, almost comparable to the conflict between China and Japan.
"Guest, this is a matter within the family, please don't search too much for the root cause"
"Oh~" Shi Huaiya didn't continue to ask, that's all she asked. After all, such a structure would make her feel a little uncomfortable. It's normal for you to be uncomfortable.
On the contrary, Lao Xia seemed much calmer. However, what he didn't say was that if it was a team of elite shield guards behind him with armored vehicles, it would only take less than 30 minutes to break through the manor.
"Welcome, my friend!" Corleone stood in front of the spiral staircase and warmly greeted him until the door was opened. "I hope you don't mind my presumptuous invitation."
Just from the appearance, the godfather can't be called a majestic person at all. He doesn't look much different from any old man next door. He is quite gentlemanly and elegant. Of course, the other party can't think Xia Lin is the warlord who controls nearly half of Kazdel's power and force.
In fact, as far as the godfather’s own views and cognition are concerned, this young man should still be studying in school. He should still be at the age of chasing handsome sports stars and beautiful girls, showing off his youth and vitality in school, However, the fact is that he is already the representative of one side, and he is even the speaker of a large emerging group.
As an old man who even has a grandson, it is inevitable that he will not compare with those few boys in his own family, and then feel a bit of lamentation. The eldest son looks serious and seems to be a good heir, but in fact he is a good heir. A guy who is blinded by women.
And the youngest son is even more of a cynical playboy. Although he also has his unique talents under this disguise, how can a young eagle that has not yet spread its wings be compared with a bird of prey that has conquered the sky?
"In addition, please allow me to apologize for another matter, because something has happened to the family recently, so the two of you have seen some...not decent things." The godfather refers to the increase in Sincerity is the biggest weapon in negotiations, especially using sincerity on some insignificant matters in exchange for the other party's laxity at critical moments, which is very cost-effective.
"Understood. After all, Shi Huaiya was a police officer in Longmen before, and she still has some eyesight." Lao Xia explained, "But, do you know what kind of accident happened?"
"Ah, it's a little hard to say, it's just some conflicts in the family, and it's a joke for outsiders." The godfather was vague and unwilling to reveal the inside story, and this attitude was within Lao Xia's expectations.
"It's getting late. You two must be very tired. It's very impolite to talk in this hall. Please let our distinguished guests go to rest first. Except for my office, they can visit and tour the manor at will. , there will be a grand banquet in the evening, please be sure not to miss it."
Obviously, the godfather also has a lot of messy things to deal with, so he can only let the guests go to rest first in a very shameful way, instead of guiding the guests to visit the manor, and chatting about some insignificant things, so as to bring them closer.
As soon as he returned to the study, the friendly expression on the old man's face disappeared, "Boris, how is Lisa?"
"The ore infection was confirmed, and the doctor invited said it would be best..."
"How much will it cost to treat her? I heard that the Xia Corporation has a very good cure for ore disease." After turning around half a circle, Corleone sniffed the roses on his neckline and calmed down with the fragrance of the flowers, " Her mother is one of us, the family sacrificed for the family, and the family should take care of every member." As long as the price is not too high, the godfather did not say the last sentence.
This simple responsibility is the only thing that maintains the cohesion and existence of a "family". If the family cannot stand up for the members and take care of the members' wives and children, then the members will not participate in the affairs of the family as "family members" and will be coerced by power There is a big difference between money-enticed participation and voluntary participation.
However, more and more "families" are unwilling to bear this kind of rules that originated in the uprising era. They have changed from "family" to outright gangsters. Only the godfather, a relic of the previous era, is still stubborn. enforce this value.
The early Syracusans were not organized for simple crimes, they were organized for the harmed women and children, forming an autonomous regime, and using various fierce criminal methods to fight against the invaders who ruled the country at that time , but after the re-establishment of the country was achieved, these people were not absorbed into the new society.
So it evolved into the mafia. Of course, this is also inevitable. Although the world has no lessons learned from the Paris Commune, both the capital group and the feudal group have realized what a terrifying monster this form of "communes" will be if it goes further.
"I don't know, Godfather, I think it might be a good idea to follow her mother's request and entrust her to Dr. Kelsey in Rhode Island."
"No, we can't do this without trying anything, it will disappoint the family, and disappointment will bring doubts, doubts will shake loyalty, and no absolute loyalty is no loyalty at all!" The godfather rejected the proposal, Of course, in the end, if there is really no room for effort, then following the family's advice and handing her over to Rhodes Island is also an option, but you can't make no effort at all.
"Has she still not come back?"
"No, I think she's gone a little too far" and almost drove out a small half of Syracuse's werewolf mafia.
"Motivation?" The godfather picked up the cigar and lit it, sat on the chair, and the tabby cat he raised automatically jumped on his lap, "I mean the other party's motivation"
"There is no definite and reliable news, but it can be preliminarily determined that it is related to our recent actions"
"Huh? Tell me." "We have half of the vineyard workers and underground channels in Syracuse. In order to prevent the Xia Group from flooding Syracuse with cheap wine, we blocked most of the underground channels for smuggling, and... ...."
"Is someone involved in that business, right?" The godfather's face quickly darkened, "We are Mafia, we are not good people, but we are not butchers and slave traders, right?"
Are they good people?No one thinks that the members of these families are good people, they collect protection money, squeeze the vineyard workers, fight for turf in the streets, hang those who defy them or throw them from the mobile city deck, even they will assassinate the government Officials and rival family members.
However, they are not butchers and slave traders. After all, they were originally established and existed to protect their compatriots from being violated and not being treated as slaves. It’s a pity that the new generation prefers money and power, rather than the remaining traces of conscience and bottom line of these ancient ones.
He even knows that there are such people even within his own family, and even if the investigation continues, his son and relatives may also play disgraceful roles in it. However, he is still willing to give them a chance, after all they He is not a good person, so he hopes that the children will repent more than a justice trial.
Unfortunately, the attack proved that this was just wishful thinking. They have long been dissatisfied with this old guy's "stupid decision". Well, that can't, under the suppression of the government and the run on by peers who have no bottom line at all, the site and income are getting smaller and smaller.
This is also the reason why Corleone invited Xia Lin. If he can reach a certain kind of cooperation with the Xia Group and win certain benefits, he can temporarily suppress this trend of thought. At least he does not want his family to be reduced to For the sake of pure evil gangsters.
"Yes, and your blockade cost them a lot of...'goods'"
"A bunch of idiots" the godfather put out his cigar, "what do our guests think about these businesses?"
"Although there is very little information coming in from there, they should be resisting, but their goods are mainly sold to Longmen and Dayan, and Victoria is also the main market."
"Why do you know so well, Boris?"
"Forgive me, Godfather, when I was in the back alley..."
"Okay, I get it." The godfather shook his head wearily, "There is no second time, you know." He is willing to give young people a chance to make mistakes, and he is willing to wait for them to repent, but there is no second time.
"So, they chose Lisa?"
"To be more precise, I chose your right-hand man. She has been dazzled by hatred now. We don't have another person who has the ability to stop them from bringing the goods out, and this will make the family the enemy of everyone. "The mother who was completely enraged has no sense. Her unrestricted attack caused losses to the other family, but also made the godfather feel embarrassed.
Although she claims to have left the family, it is not so easy. The same Rulong's famous line is, "One day is a Yakuza, and one day is a Yakuza." The mafia is the same. Don't try to escape this brand.
And this is also what the other family wants, because this kind of revenge will continue to aggravate the deterioration of social security and make the Syracuse government look bad, and they will also put pressure on the godfather's family and further suppress normal gangster operations Business, so that the godfathers have to turn their energy to deal with the pressure of the government and appease internal emotions, instead of continuing to block their shortcuts to get rich.
Maybe the Republic of Kazdel doesn't need these "goods", but Tracys has a huge demand for Lubo fighters, and he also needs a place close to the food production and sale of stolen goods. Tracys needs soldiers. And these people need the beautiful girls of Sarkaz, whether it is as a custom business or for one-time use, it is a good profit point.
Moreover, smuggling Kazdale's source stone mines and planting those addictive treasures are good businesses, but unfortunately these two businesses are not something New Kazdale does, and they don't even touch any such business at all to maintain economic demand.
This is also the reason why the godfather thinks that Tracys can't do anything. If your enemy can achieve the same income and effect as you do when you follow the evil path, then it is absolutely impossible for you to beat him.
This is also the reason why the evil does not overwhelm the right—because taking the right path often requires a lot of constraints, a lot of trials and difficulties, if you are still moving forward at the same speed, it means that the strengths of the two sides are actually completely out of balance.
The godfather thinks so, and other families actually think so. As for whether the Syracuse government thinks so, it's just that although they all recognize that Tracys can't do it, it doesn't prevent them from doing it. This business, and because Tracys will be finished sooner or later, so if it can be delayed for a day, this business naturally needs to be stepped up.
It's a pity that the old stubborn godfather prevented them from doing this business well, and blocked them at the gate of the last carnival. It is inevitable to use assassination methods, and there must be an inner ghost helping them.
Originally, if there was no Lao Xia, they would not have made trouble so early, because His Excellency Corleone is getting old, and he might be gone one day, so why use this method to provoke a evil star for himself?
Besides, without Lao Xia, Kazdel would be divided into civil wars, and it would be a good time to do business. The godfather would not block smuggling channels for the dumping of Kazdel's wine.
Even though he was cracking down on this kind of "business" that violated the basic principles of the mafia, it was an acceptable loss after all. Therefore, Lisa originally received the mechanism doll for other reasons later.
And due to the dumping by the Xia Group, the smuggling blockade, and the changes in the situation in Kazdel, now it has been received in advance, and the price of receiving it in advance is also higher than before, because now the person in charge is still Godfather Corleone, not the young man six years later. Son, the latter is more utilitarian, and Lisa's mother can't believe it at all, so she just took her daughter and left and entrusted Rhodes Island.
Chapter 32 The Last Supper
Shi Huaiya, who was guided into the guest room, lay down on the bed without moving at all, "Tired!" was a very clear expression.
This kind of cumbersome etiquette is the most uncomfortable part for her, especially after living a life in the unrestrained state in Longmen, returning to this ladylike state in vain is totally unacceptable, it is a kind of mental fatigue that does not belong to physical strength .
"It's okay, Father Corleone is not as difficult to get along with as he imagined."
