It was often said that everyone was an individual.
However, everyone's fate was miraculously intertwined.
The owner of the bar was released after two days of torture.
Not long ago, the people from the Special Division took out more than a dozen nails and a saw blade from his body. They also helped him treat some of his wounds.
After he was mysteriously arrested, the Special Forces kept asking him questions that he never knew, never thought of, and never heard of.
"What is your relationship with Lynch?"
"What kind of information did Lynch pass to you?"
"How do you usually pass on information?"
"Who is your superior and who is your subordinate?"
In short, the questions were all baffling to him. As a Guevara People, the bar owner was very clear about the Special Forces' style. He was very honest and told them the truth.
"I don't know any Lynch!"
"I don't know what you are talking about!"
"I'm just the owner of a bar, not an intelligence agent!"
"I told you, you got the wrong person!"
The Special Forces gave him the warmest and most enthusiastic feedback, and also made him realize the horror of the Special Forces.
In fact, he couldn't take it on the first day. He even took the initiative to make up some lies to satisfy the Special Forces' interrogation. At least that would make him feel better now. As for the future?
Who knew if he would die here, so why not enjoy a period of peace before he died?
However, he didn't know who Lynch was, and he didn't know the deeper meaning behind these things. This made the lies he made up to satisfy the Special Forces' interrogation purpose "full of loopholes".
One of the Special Forces' leaders even told him the next morning that they had never seen such a tough intelligence agent. They hoped that he could continue to persevere and be a true warrior!
At that time, the bar owner was dumbfounded. He couldn't tell the truth, and he couldn't cooperate with them to lie. He suspected that his competitors wanted to kill him, and that was why he was in this predicament.
Just as he was about to despair and think that he was going to die, he was released.
The leader in charge of interrogating him let him receive the most basic treatment and apologized to him.
He had to admit that the special department was really good. When the boss came, he returned everything that he had brought with him. He even gave him an extra wheelchair and free medical treatment.
At the same time, the Special Investigations Department would also help him apply for state compensation.
Until now, the bar owner, who was being pushed to the hospital in a wheelchair, still didn't know why it was him.
As for why he was released, it was actually very simple. The Special Division and the Intelligence Bureau had already realized that the purpose of Lynch going to the two bars was not to pass on information, but purely to spend money, just like the information they had found out not long ago.
A group of people from the Federation booked an entertainment venue, and all the girls who needed help took turns to receive their help. There were also many reporters who took pictures of this scene.
The people who knew about this were all furious. There was no doubt that the Federation people did not give them the most basic respect. Although important people like the team leader did not participate in this, it was still infuriating.
The Emperor originally wanted to stop the newspapers from reporting this news, but he quickly changed his mind. Letting the Guevara people know the arrogance of the Federation would be good for his rule.
Only in the face of this kind of humiliation from the outside world would people stand firmly on the Emperor's side.
At the same time, this was also a warning to the Emperor. It used an unpleasant way to warn the Emperor of the Guevara Empire of the price of falling behind.
If he wanted to unite the country through this incident, then he would have to endure it.
Early in the morning the next day, all the important newspapers in Gefra reported the news. The first day the Federation's diplomatic mission arrived in Gefra, they actually went to Hundred Flowers Street. This made the Gefra people who were born with their noses in the air become irritable and angry. Some people even petitioned the Emperor to expel the Federation's diplomatic mission.
It seemed that the situation was getting serious, but in fact, it was just an illusion.
This incident did not even cause a diplomatic protest. Only places like Hundred Flowers Street were ordered to be closed during the Federation's diplomatic visit to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
This also made the Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs realize that the era was different.
The era of Guevara's arrogance was over, and the era of the Federation had arrived.
In the morning, a group of people held a friendly reception ceremony with the local officials in the square of the port city's city hall. The local mayor believed that the cooperation between the Gaffra Federation and the Bailey Federation would lay an important foundation for the peaceful future of the world. It would also provide considerable help for the promotion of the international status of the two countries.
In order to let the people know more about these people, they also introduced each member of the diplomatic mission, including Lynch.
Originally, there was no such plan. It was added last night at the last minute. It was said that it was the emperor's idea. It was to let these people bask in the sun and let the whole world know who did not stay in the hotel last night and ran out to help the girls in need.
Since the Federation was so shameless, the Guevara people did not care.
Regardless of what the members of the diplomatic mission thought or how the Guevara people would respond, Mr. Herbers, who had just woken up, stared at the TV screen for a long time.
On the screen, under the sunlight, Lynch's bright smile did not make him look like a "diplomat" at all. He looked like he was on vacation. Everyone else looked serious, but he was the only one who was smiling.
But this smile, in Mr. Herbers' eyes, was like a demon's!
He suddenly turned around and walked to the corner of the room, picked up the phone, and said, "Why is Lynch a member of the diplomatic mission?"
This was the question he wanted to know the most. He had been a little uneasy for the past few days, so he calculated all the possible places that might cause him trouble, and then found the places that might cause him trouble. He tried to be as safe as possible.
After this period of tinkering, he felt that Lynch would not have a chance to make a comeback.
First of all, it wasn't easy to change the mind of the finance minister, not to mention that it involved the emperor of the Gaffra Empire.
Putting aside the emperor's temper and whether he was easy to persuade, in order to persuade him, he had to be able to see him first!
Even with a human brain, it was clear that the emperor would not casually pick up a phone call from an unknown person, chat with the person on the other end of the phone for half an hour or less, and then be convinced by a stranger.
In order to persuade the emperor, a person with a name had to stand in front of him face to face and persuade him.
Just this alone was something that Lin Qi couldn't do!
He could not appear in front of the emperor and tell him what he should do in the best interest of everyone. The emperor would not casually meet a businessman from the Federation. It was not easy for Lynch to get the emperor to meet him.
Even Mr. Herbers was not qualified to be met by the emperor alone. He had many friends here, let alone Lynch, who did not have many contacts overseas. It was impossible for him to persuade the emperor.
As long as he could not persuade the emperor, no matter what he did, it would not change the final result.
However, Mr. Herbers did not expect that Lynch would become a member of the Federation's diplomatic corps. Furthermore, he would be a member with a name, not just a member of the entourage!
Having a name and a surname meant that he had the right to speak. He could directly contact the various ministers of the Guafra Empire, and even the emperor would have to patiently listen to the other party's point of view when necessary — through the way that certain people passed on the message.
Although they would not meet each other, they could communicate with each other, which was completely beyond Herbers' expectation.
Everything that was originally stable became unstable. Mr. Herbers' expression became a little scary. He stood by the phone and listened for a long time. His body trembled slightly, and his irritation made him unable to listen to the meaningless words of the person on the other end of the phone.
He forcefully interrupted the other party's speech. In his anxiety, he spat out a mouthful of saliva. The loose skin on his face trembled slightly with his movements, and his face turned red. "I don't want to listen to you talk about this here. You should have told me earlier. Now, you have ruined everything!"
He slammed the phone down.
On the other end of the phone was an official of the Federation government. He was also angry. Although he worked for the Federation government, he had no way of knowing the specific situation before the list of officials of this level was made public.
Asking around casually would only arouse the suspicion of the security committee. Although all the countries seemed to be in a period of calm and peace, in the invisible special battlefront, the war did not stop.
Of course, this phone call would not affect his relationship with Mr. Herbers. As long as Mr. Herbers continued to write him thank-you letters, he did not mind continuing to sell some unimportant information to him.
Not long after, some people gathered in Mr. Herbers' house. They were all worried. There was no doubt that they were all alarmed by the news.
Lynch had sneaked in without anyone noticing, and he even had the qualifications to speak face to face with the Guevara's ruling class. This was very frightening!
Looking at these bankers, who were fantasizing about retiring not long ago, everything now made them look ridiculous.
However, as the leader and the mastermind of the whole plan, Mr. Herbers still comforted everyone. "Lynch can't change the emperor's mind so easily. We still have a chance.
And even if he changes the emperor's mind, for us, it's nothing more than losing some interest. The dividends brought by the appreciation of the ten billion Galil can still make our investment a success! "
