"Thank you for your hard work!"
The next morning, in the Emperor's study, Genia relayed the information that she had bought from Lynch at a 'high price'. The Emperor immediately expressed his gratitude to Genia.
"What you said is very important to me. It provides us with an idea that we have never considered before. How did you convince Lynch to tell you this?"
Genia sat on an exquisite soft-wrapped chair with her legs crossed. She held a lady's cigarette holder in her hand. She glanced at the Emperor and shook her head. "Are you sure you want to know?"
The Emperor was stunned by her attitude for a moment. His curiosity eventually won over his rationality.
It was normal for people to be curious. The Emperor was also curious.
Lynch's method that Genia had relayed could indeed alleviate some of the problems in Amelia. This was a unique way of thinking and solution that was very valuable.
The Emperor believed that if he was Lynch, he would definitely not say it unless he was given enough benefits.
Even if Genia's "Are you sure you want to know?" might contain some unpleasant speculation, the Emperor still wanted to ask.
Curiosity accounted for most of it, but there was also a part that wanted to ensure the effective value of the information through the 'price'.
It was like a person who spent a dollar to buy something that looked like a gem. When he told others that he had spent a dollar to buy it back, no one would think that the shiny thing was a gem.
But if he told others that it had cost him hundreds, thousands, or even more, people would immediately associate the shiny thing with a gem.
Not only a gem, but anything that could be measured, whether it was a quality or not, followed this principle.
Genia took a puff of her cigarette. The exquisite lady's cigarette holder was arranged with beautiful patterns of gemstones. It was wrapped in her red lips. The cigarette lit up for a moment, followed by a puff of smoke. At the same time, she said the price she had to pay for the information.
"I'm being long-winded …" She did not feel embarrassed. Instead, she looked at the Emperor with interest.
The Emperor was startled at first, and then his face turned ugly.
Genia was the most well-known member of the royal family. His sister was known as the 'Flower of the Empire' and was the dream lover of countless men in the Empire.
She actually went …?!
Damn Lynch!
However, his anger soon subsided. He knew that he couldn't do anything to Lynch.
If Lynch was killed by him, perhaps a war would be inevitable.
The Federation was frantically expanding their influence on the international scene. Their method was different from the Gefra's method of expanding their influence through war. They were more graceful, less aggressive, and easier to accept.
However, this didn't mean that they could just swallow the death of a diplomat. If that happened, there would definitely be a lot of trouble. All of this was just a thought.
But when he thought of his little sister, who was sitting less than ten meters away from him, doing those things naked, he was very unhappy, very angry, and … there was a trace of excitement.
Fortunately, he quickly adjusted his mentality and finally said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"You said it just now!"
"I'm not doing this for myself or for you. I'm doing this for the royal family and this country. And I have to tell you, this is the last time."
"I don't want you to make me do this whenever you're in trouble. I'm not a whore!"
It was rare for Genia to forcefully express her position. The Emperor, with a guilty conscience, chose to apologize to his sister, who was rarely forceful.
"I'm sorry, this is the last time!"
Genia's expression soon softened. "I accept your apology!"
After a few seconds, the Emperor shook off these emotions and continued to ask, "So this is all he has?"
Genia shook her head. She took a puff of her cigarette, pulled it out of the mouth, and threw it into the ashtray. "Based on his meaning and attitude, this is only what he doesn't mind telling me. He has a better way. His attitude is very firm, and he doesn't want to tell me. I think you should see him."
The Emperor nodded. "If he really has a better way, then I should see him …" He thought for a moment. "You can talk to him and invite him to the palace. We can have dinner together. Maybe we'll have some new progress."
Genia stood up and put some of her belongings into her bag, such as a lighter, a cigarette, and a cigarette holder. "I'll invite him, but I can't guarantee that he will come."
"Thank you!"
The Emperor was looking forward to meeting Lynch, but he received bad news in the evening. Lynch refused to meet with the Emperor. The reason was that he would not meet with the Emperor in private before the negotiations were over.
This was to ensure that the process of the negotiations would not be affected by this unexpected invitation. Lynch's reason was very good, so good that neither Genia nor the Emperor could find any reason to refute Lynch's reason.
He was a member of the diplomatic corps, and it was taboo for him to privately contact the Gefran officials. No one could find fault with it. The Gefran Emperor could only urge his subordinates to settle the negotiations as soon as possible. At least, the main content had to be settled.
On the other hand, the two simpler methods that Lynch had given Gaffra were discussed by the emperor with his trusted aides and ministers.
"Is this really Lynch's idea?"
The Minister of Defense was in disbelief. "I think it's more likely that the person behind him gave him the idea. A young man in his twenties can't have the ability to come up with these solutions, and you said that he has a better way!"
The other ministers nodded in agreement, and their eyes quickly returned to the written description.
The two methods that Lynch passed to the Emperor through Genia were actually very simple. The first was immigration, and the second was opportunity.
Through a large number of immigrants, the basic structure of the lower social class in Amelia would be changed. Lynch also mentioned that the main group of immigrants would not be the upper middle class, but the lower class.
Allowing more ordinary people to fill the Amelia area would reduce the proportion of people who hated the rulers. At the same time, it would also play a certain role in stabilizing and supervising the situation.
Most of the people living in the Amelia area were businessmen, middle and upper class. These people would not live with ordinary people there. They had their own living quarters in every city and did not have any contact with the outside world.
This approach gave the locals a very wrong hint, and that was that the Guevara People did not really accept the area. They accepted the people of the area because they set up a "class" opposition, which led to the situation deteriorating step by step.
Secondly, Lynch mentioned that he wanted to give the locals a chance. The Guevara People were arrogant, and it could be seen from the way they treated others. In this environment where they had an attitude of "we are superior", how could they let the people under them calmly accept that they were inferior?
And there was not even a chance. That was the most terrible thing.
Human society used countless facts to prove that as long as there was a little possibility, a little possibility of a future, people would work hard for this impossible but seemingly possible future!
This also included their stable work and studies.
Open up the channels for the locals to enter the upper class, increase the strength and number of locals promoted, and to a certain extent, give them a certain degree of autonomy. The "enemy" between the Guevara People and the locals in the Amelia area would be turned into "internal conflicts" between the locals, and the pressure would be reduced.
The Guevara People might have thought of these two methods before, but they did not take it seriously. The noble Guevara People were the ruling race of the universe. How could a group of low-class people who did not even have a name be on the same level as the noble Guevara People?
It's … not … possible!
Now, they had to face this problem and seriously consider Lynch's suggestion. In the end, the conclusion of their discussion was that it was very feasible.
But soon, they were faced with another problem. The Guevara People knew that the situation in the Amelia area was very bad and very dangerous. All kinds of anti-government armed groups often attacked the Guevara People.
Calling for people to migrate to the Amelia area at this time?
Even the emperor's words were useless. Only a few crazy people would go. Normal people would not go.
"These methods are suitable for a relatively peaceful time, not now. The problem we need to solve now is more difficult. These can only be used as a reference."
This was the final conclusion of the defense minister. It was valuable, but useless now.
The emperor was a little hesitant. His hesitation was noticed by the defense minister. Then, the ministers completed an instant communication with each other. The minister of the army stood up.
"Your Majesty, does Lynch have any good suggestions? Maybe we should talk to Lynch!"
The Amelia area affected the nerves of the country. As long as someone said that they could solve the problem, the ministers did not mind giving them a chance.
The emperor nodded, then shook his head. "He does, but he is not willing to meet with us now. The reason is that we are in the process of negotiating. Before the results of the negotiations are out, he will not contact any of us in private."
As he spoke, he showed a helpless expression and urged the negotiations to be completed as soon as possible. Without losing the dignity of the country, it also showed Guevara's tolerance and generosity.
The finance minister, who did not speak during the whole process, felt that some things were getting out of control, but he did not seem to care.
Compared to the common interests of the nobles and the royal family, an international speculator and some money would not be an obstacle to his pursuit of the truth!
