Shadow Empire - Chapter 938 Gentle Bribery 6661

It’s just that it’s hard for most people to imagine that this report actually came from a gang leader.

In their traditional impression, gang leaders are those at the bottom of society who may not even have attended high school, dropped out of elementary school in the third or fourth grade, and then entered society and engaged in some criminal work.

That's why people are shocked that a report with such a huge impact on federal expansion came from someone they stereotyped.

When they saw Lance in person, he could clearly feel their disbelief.

This also allows them to observe Lance with a completely new attitude and perspective.

Rather than just viewing him as a gang leader.

How could a gang leader be introduced so solemnly by a true "powerful person" like Senator Cleveland?

People's eyes were focused on him, including Senator Cleveland's. There was scrutiny in their eyes, which was actually a test.

It’s not that they don’t want to get to know poor and stupid people, it’s just that these two types of people can’t help them improve themselves.

If Lance couldn't show them something that convinced them, it would be difficult for him to truly integrate into this circle even with the introduction of Senator Cleveland.

Lance did not answer immediately. After a brief thought and clearing his mind, he said in a slightly considered tone -

"It is not a complicated matter to annex Yalan. The simplest and most direct way is to use force, or use the plan I am working on now to let them hold a referendum."

The person asking the question couldn't help but ask, "So what's the best?"

Lance gave him an answer without even thinking, "Like I said, let them take the initiative to join us instead of being swallowed up by us."

This answer made many people fall into deep thought. They could not think of any reason or possibility for such a situation to happen in Yalan.

Senator Cleveland also looked at Lance.

"Whether it's culture, economy, military, politics, or social system..."

"Whatever it is, we're way ahead!"

"We know that the most basic unit of a country is people. As long as we control these people, the majority of them, separate them from their ruling groups, and then bring them over, we can make them compare their current lives with their past lives."

"As long as there is nothing wrong with their brains and no one is willing to be a slave to others forever, then they will be more inclined to join us voluntarily."

"Economy, culture, military, all aspects."

Senator Cleveland nodded slightly. "Tell me more about the economy and culture."

Lance was not at all stage frightened. He raised his glass and took a sip of wine. The gentlemen around him were people he had only seen in newspapers, but he was not nervous at all.

Just doing this is enough to make some people look up to him.

"As one of the few economic powers in the world, our economic impact on the surrounding areas is very extensive and important."

"Whether it is the north or the Asian blue region, they are actually within our economic radiation and influence range, and rely on our economy and production capacity to a certain extent."

"Economic changes in the country will also affect surrounding areas, which shows our value and influence in the economy."

“What we need is to mobilize these.”

He mentioned some agricultural raw materials that need to be processed. "These things cannot be processed locally and must be sent to the federal government."

"In other words, these things are waste and useless to them, so their planting and production are completely dependent on us."

"Those responsible for planting are often the lower classes of society. This affects their livelihoods. The more they earn from planting these cash crops, the more dependent they become on us!"

"Once we adjust the local cash crop structure, it will be like heaven and hell for them." "In addition, we can also continuously penetrate deeper into the local area through cultural means."

“The invasion of culture is silent, but also the most important.”

"The cultural identity will make them ignore what the region brings to them and make them closer to us in terms of ideology."

"The same is true in the military aspect. We need to show them our 'muscles' and let them understand that armed conquest is not a difficult thing for us."

"We need to formulate a series of rules that are beneficial to us, and then under our rules and framework, defeat their ruling class and win over their middle and lower classes."

The people around fell into serious thought after a while. This was not a particularly complicated matter. Explaining it from the three most obvious but most effective aspects did give people a very special feeling.

After Lance had spoken for a while, they began to applaud his speech, and soon the applause became continuous!Senator Cleveland took the initiative to say, "What you said is very inspiring to me. In fact, we have also discussed some of Yalan's problems."

"If we want to actually occupy the entire Yalan region, we must establish a new ruling class there."

"If their society is full of resistance to our rule, this is likely to be a confrontation that will last a long time."

"But what you said gave me some new ideas and some new thoughts."

“Sometimes we don’t necessarily need to use force to gain dominance.”

“Peace is sometimes a means to gain domination!”

Lance agreed with his point of view. "Yes, people all desire a stable and prosperous life, so let's give them a stable and prosperous life."

These speeches did have some effect, and the atmosphere on the scene became more enthusiastic. They began to accept Lance instead of treating him as a "symbol" or just a "name".

Although he may be just at the edge of this circle now, this is an achievement that many people cannot achieve in their lifetime.

For example...Bandy (the head of one of the five major families in Jingang City), he has always wanted to clean up his name and blend into the real upper class in his life.

But after going through so much, he couldn't even do it as a peripheral member. In the eyes of many people, he was just an ATM, not a human being.

At this time, Lance was mainly listening. They talked about some things about the Republic of Jede.

The sudden emergence of the Asian Alliance did disrupt some of the federal government's plans and arrangements for the future, and the purpose of the Czech Republic was no secret to them.

They began a new discussion around the topic of whether it was possible that the Federation would go to war with the Republic of Jede one day in the future.

But none of this had anything to do with Lance. He was chatting with Edward about Lapa.

"You picked the right project at the right time!"

"You have the nose for a finance job, Lance."

After Edward and Lance clinked their glasses and took a sip of wine, he began a relatively in-depth topic.

"Now that the economy is on the rise, people have money in their hands, and some people are more willing to invest at this time."

"So you picked a very good time. All we need is the stock market to promote us, and people will buy our stocks!"

His face seemed to be glowing!Lance looked carefully and found that there was a layer of grease on his face. Could it be because he was a little fat?

It could also be that due to some heat, the oils reflected the shiny luster of Brin Brin.

Lance agreed with him, "You're right, I can imagine people being crazy."
