0598 Boring Party
"Don't worry, there won't be any problems. You have to believe in me and your Majesty!"
On the phone, the Chancellor of the Exchequer comforted Mr. Herbers. Just now, Mr. Herbers called him directly to his private phone line.
This line is a secure line that cannot be monitored, so you can talk about more private things.
Herbers raised his concerns with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the phone. If Lynch persuaded the Emperor to change his mind, it would be a disaster - for himself.
In order to ensure that the Chancellor of Finance can stand on his side, he also prepared some additional benefits and deposited them into the Chancellor of Finance's account abroad.
That was not a small amount of money. Even if the Chancellor of the Finance was often exposed to a series of staggering numbers and was no longer allergic to numbers, Mr. Herbers's sincerity also made him feel a... faint touch.
His constant promises would make everything run according to Mr. Herbers's ideas and requirements without any accidents, but these did not seem to make Mr. Herbers feel relieved.
He had to use the emperor as an example, "You have to know that an emperor cannot change his attitude casually. That will make people think that he is not rigorous enough and fickle when making some decisions. A ruler will not Do that!”
When many people introduce the Gefra Empire, they will focus their introduction on the system of this monarchy and the emperor of this country. This is what people are most concerned about, and it is also the only thing that people want to know. .
Many outsiders don't really understand this country. They think that the emperor is everything in this country, but in fact it is not safe.
The ruling system of Gefra is actually a little more complicated than people know. If you are a native of Gefra, you may know more than foreigners.
In the beginning, the territory of this island country was divided up by different clans, and different clan lords controlled territories of different sizes. They conquered each other, and wars continued for years.
Finally, under the call of one of the most powerful clans, people began to gradually cease the war and proclaimed themselves nobility. The country's first ruling system was not actually a monarchy, but a "noble parliamentary system."
The nobles decided some major domestic affairs through discussions, including electing a king, who was still called a king at that time.
But in the following years, the current Gaevra royal family gradually took control of the Noble Council through various methods, whether good or bad, and always appeared in the image of the royal family.
Later, after an event known as the "Oaktown Reform", the royal family abolished the aristocratic parliamentary system and changed it to a monarchy. Later, the royal family unified the entire island, and its power once pushed to the edge of the mainland.
Since then, the royal family was born. Although the royal family is the highest symbol of power in this country, this does not mean that the noble ministers can really only be at the mercy of the emperor.
They also have a certain amount of power, and they are not as afraid of the emperor as people think.
The nobles are willing to maintain the current situation because it is more in their interests.
The many problems brought about by this world war and the naval battle with the Federation have caused some conflicts among the nobility and the royal family. There are some voices of dissatisfaction with the current emperor. They may not plan to do anything yet, but if this situation will not change , and if it continues to go lower in the next thing that affects the fate of the country, they may actually do something.
This is also the reason why the finance minister did not hesitate to use the emperor as a guarantee in the face of Hebers's constant search for guarantees.
Ministers respect the royal family and the emperor very much, and the emperor and the royal family can lead everyone to victory all the time.
If the emperor and the royal family can't do it, people will respect him and it less.
With such a guarantee from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Herbers breathed a sigh of relief. He hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth to the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
It is obviously stupid to continue to hide something at this time. The problem of information asymmetry will make the Chancellor of Finance spend his energy in the wrong place, so he has to tell his real purpose, "I hid something from you before..."
"No, you don't have to tell me, I know what you want to say, it's Lynch, right?" The finance minister was unexpectedly not surprised, and he also told the truth.
Judging from his tone, he was not angry, but had a touch of... arrogance, which made Mr. Herbers feel like a clown. He did not hide it from the Chancellor, "The entire gambling agreement between you and Lynch The world knows it, and you can hide it from no one, Herberts."
"But I don't care if you lied to me. Your request does no harm to me or the empire. This is why I will agree to you, not because of how much you gave me. Do you understand?"
What the Chancellor of Finance said here was not a show of words or an excuse for his own behavior, but a true performance.
Gefra is currently not suitable for cashing out war bonds in large quantities, and their financial budget is in a mess, all because of the problems in the Amelia region.
The suddenly worsening situation has caused the empire to spend several times more of its budget than planned, which has also resulted in the current treasury being a bit empty. If those bonds are cashed in at this time, it will definitely be a fatal blow to the empire's not-so-optimistic financial situation. .
The most correct choice is to appropriately slow down the redemption of bonds and use this money as emergency reserves.
Since the Chancellor of Finance originally had such a plan, and now Herbers suddenly came out and hoped that he would do so and bring him huge profits, why should he refuse?
Of course, the Chancellor of Finance would not be so direct when communicating with Mr. Herbers. He always told Mr. Herbers that he did all this because of everyone’s friendship, which also made him Got a lot of benefits.
Now he needs a little reminder to Mr. Herbers not to waste his time by calling him to talk about this matter. He would rather sleep a little longer if he has this time.
"I'm sorry!" Mr Herbers apologized even though the chancellor knew what was behind them.
"I accept your apology. If there's nothing else, I'm going to hang up the phone..."
Mr. Herbers then hung up the phone and began making arrangements for the evening queue.
As an international banker, he had more or less contacts with companies and individuals who were keen on international trade and finance, and he soon made a list.
There are some celebrities among them, and the rest are just people who make up the numbers. The purpose of this party is to paralyze Lynch, so the status of the people he invites to the party will not be too high.
He needs these people to praise Lynch with him, so that Lynch can become careless, ignore his threats, and make a wrong judgment.
Everything went on in an orderly manner. During the day, Lynch and Genia played everywhere. Genia had a royal status and could easily take Lynch to wherever Lynch wanted to go, including the palace.
But they were not that bored. They first went to the place where the Royal Academy of Sciences used to display their results. Some advanced, non-military and confidential technology displays, a place similar to a science and technology museum, with a sense of the future and technology. .
Then they went to watch two more movies together, both starring Genia. I have to say that it was a wonderful feeling to watch a woman on the big screen lying in his arms.
Then they took a short rest and went to the party Mr. Herbers had prepared for him.
When a luxury car parked outside a club, the organizer of the party personally welcomed it out, and in addition to him, some of the heavyweight guests he invited also came out.
This time there is not only Lynch, but also Genia. One of these two people is rich and the other has a distinguished status. People must show enough respect.
"Welcome, my friend!" Mr. Herbers was very cordial, holding Lynch's hand tightly, and then greeted Genia.
"I didn't expect you to bring Ms. Genia to this party..." Mr. Herbers said jokingly, "I prepared a lot of girls, but now it seems that others will be cheaper."
Lynch's face was full of smiles, "Really? You should have informed me earlier. I suddenly realized that I had done something stupid."
Genia stood aside with a smile, not showing any displeasure because of the conversation between the two men. The first thing a mature woman masters is to hide her true attitude.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while before entering the club.
As Mr. Herbers introduced outside the door, the purpose of this party is very simple. There is nothing too complicated. It is just to have fun and make Lynch feel happy.
The club was decorated like a striptease bar, with several dance floors and poles. Some dancers in simple leather clothes danced freely to the music under the ambiguous lights.
In fact, this scene is very embarrassing under the current situation, because Lynch accidentally brought a female companion. This arrangement is very inappropriate and not very polite.
"Sorry..." Mr. Herbers was silent for a few seconds, and then quickly apologized, "I will have these programs changed!"
"No, there's no need!" Genia stopped him. She looked at everything in the room and said with a smile, "I'm an adult, sir."
Mr. Herbers was a little embarrassed, but finally complied with Genia's request and did not replace the dancers, but this also caused the party that was supposed to be enjoyable to become a bit boring.
Given Genia's status, she is also Lin Qi's female companion, no one wants to find her unhappy!
The originally planned carnival didn't work out, and the whole party turned into chatting and depression.
Through this queue, Mr. Herbers seemed to realize something.
