    Time flies, time flies, and half a year flies by in the blink of an eye.

    Germany-Outskirts of Frankfurt

    The outer wall of the castle-like manor is built from a circle of thick stones. Each stone that builds the wall has a special meaning to Germany. Each stone is a part of the Berlin Wall that divided Germany.

    Above the main entrance of the house in the manor, there was a disk hanging with the head of Frederick I carved on it. In the warm sunshine in the early morning, an old man walked out of the house, took out a ladder, climbed up with vigorous movements, and wiped the disk with a clean cloth.  The plate, the glorious emblem that carries the ancient family, must be kept untarnished at all times.

    The kind-faced old man finished his work after getting up every morning, put the ladder back into the utility room next to it, and then returned upstairs. He came to the balcony, took out the health care products before eating breakfast, and held a hand in his hand.  Looking at the health products with English introduction, his eyes were fixed on "made-in-china" and he sighed in a daze: "Tang Xin, this is really ironic."

    The old man with a kind and gentle face at this moment is Ralph, Tang Xin¡¯s enemy who has been fighting secretly for many years.

    After designing the bombing to kill Tang Xin more than half a year ago and passing the responsibility to the Minoan Alliance, Ralph suddenly seemed to be a different person. It was as if the moment he wiped away the shame of his family, all his fighting spirit also followed that moment.  The island was burned to the ground with flames rising into the sky.

    The only regret in his heart was probably that his father was not alive to witness the death of Tang Xin, his old enemy.

    After retiring from the Deutsche Bank consortium, Ralph supported his son Bender to take over. He himself returned to the manor where his father lived before his death, intending to spend his remaining years here.

    The health care products he is holding in his hand are not only produced in China, but are also labeled as Horizon Pharmaceuticals.

    This is a health care medicine that delays aging, and even the West recognizes its efficacy.  Healthy people who take it for a long time can extend their lifespan by at least twenty years. People like Ralph, who smokes and drinks well, will persevere in pursuing it even if they can live ten more years.

    After coming back to his senses, Ralph took health supplements and after having a simple breakfast on the balcony, he sat on the lounge chair and put on his glasses.  He took out a novel and started reading quietly. The warm sunshine shining on him felt very comfortable. His wife also went out in the morning to pick fruits in the orchard not far away.

    In the afternoon, when the red sun was setting, three Mercedes-Benz cars drove in outside the manor, and many workers got out of the two cars behind. They come once a week to clean up the weeds in the manor and do a comprehensive cleaning job.

    In the first car.  Ralph's eldest son, Bender, got out of the car with a calm face, looked up at the balcony on the fourth floor, found his father there, waved hello and walked in with a high head.

    Ralph took off his glasses and looked towards the horizon at sunset.  Suddenly he murmured: "Why are you so vulnerable?"

    Winners always have a spontaneous sense of grandeur, and that was the case for Ralph at this moment. He suddenly felt that defeating Tang Xin was a trivial matter, and seemed to think that Tang Xin should be stronger.  If he continues to fight with him, he will ignite his fighting spirit, and the sixty-year-old man can still show his fierce side and compete with the young man.  Unfortunately, there is no opponent anymore, and this feeling of loneliness seems to be accelerating his death.

    "Father, how are you doing lately?"

    Bender appeared respectfully behind Ralph, which freed Ralph from his chaotic thoughts. He said calmly: "Very good. What about you?"

    Although Ralph has retired, Bender's foundation in Deutsche Bank is not solid enough. Therefore, Ralph is now actually in a state of "listening to politics behind the curtain." Every week, Bender will come here to speak to  He reports on the affairs of the company and asks his father for advice when encountering problems.

    ¡°Recently, some emerging technology companies have emerged in Europe. We have tried to control these companies by injecting capital and shares, but without exception, we have hit a wall.¡±

    Hearing the news, Ralph frowned deeply.

    Although his heart was filled with a sense of loneliness, which seemed to be the peak loneliness of the invincible, in fact, Tang Xin was not a clearance boss in an RPG game. Killing Tang Xin did not mean that life would be smooth sailing.

    However, no matter how you look at it, the difficult problems encountered in business will not cause any ripples in Ralph's unsettled mood. The trembling feeling of encountering Tang Xin seems to have never been experienced again. That kind of trembling is not timid.  , but excited and excited.

    In recent years, after the rise of Horizon Group, the world has suddenly entered a rhythm of accelerating industrial change. Rapidly changing scientific and technological achievements are constantly coming out, making people seem to have returned to the magnificent era of the scientific and technological revolution overnight. Sometimes, even Lar  My husband also feels powerless and can hardly keep up with the pace of this explosive era.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??My own experience is carefully passed on to my son. The core of it is actually to teach some of the success qualities that the elders have talked about: patience, perseverance, and always being prepared to seize opportunities

    Originally, I thought that after the matter was discussed, there would be nothing left to talk about during this week¡¯s meeting. Unexpectedly, Bender took out another document and handed it to his father and said, ¡°Father, this is the discovery of a subsidiary company in Africa.¡±

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Ralph took the document, and was not interested in reading any more of the text, and he only looked at the picture, which showed a brand-new city in the center of the barren land, which was eye-catching.

    "An agricultural company affiliated with it wants to purchase land for production in Africa. The inspection team accidentally discovered this city in Africa. According to the official information, this is a place that the Minoan Alliance rented a long time ago. The lease period is  In 1949, it was the minister of the local country who conducted the transaction, and he confirmed it through photos, and he was able to confirm that it was indeed the Minoan Alliance that bought the land."

    Ralph looked at the crystal floor-like city with tall buildings. From the bird's eye view, it looked like a neat and orderly small city.

    "Haha, do they want to found a country? How do you deal with this news?"

    "I have informed Carter and Bovakoev that they will be here within an hour to interview my father."

    "What did you say?!"

    Ralph suddenly turned his head and stared at his son sharply, his eyes full of meaning that puzzled Bender, as if he was disappointed.

    ¡°I hate that iron cannot become steel!¡±

    Bender panicked and said: "Father, have I done anything wrong? The previous agreement between father and them"

    "That kind of agreement is bullshit! A God-given opportunity is in front of you, but you give it away? If you lead people to secretly eliminate the Minoan Alliance, wouldn't their technology belong to you alone? You are so generous? Take the initiative  Invite someone to share the spoils together, hahahaha. Fortunately, that person is dead, otherwise, would you still inform him? Let him make fun of our family? "

    Bender was scolded by his father and said in embarrassment: "Father, going to Africa to subvert this city without anyone noticing requires a large number of people. If someone discovers that they are from Germany, the consequences will be  , unimaginable.¡±

    Ralph¡¯s face softened slightly and he stopped blaming his son. Although his son was in his thirties, he was actually still young, especially since he had just ascended to such a dazzling position of power. It is conceivable that he was cautious and treading on thin ice.

    His concerns are normal.  Since World War II, Germany and Japan have had similar restrictions on foreign military affairs, limited to self-protection defense forces. That is to say, during the Cold War, geographical factors made Germany's military life easier.  But today, the world is still wary of the former instigators of the world war, Germany and Japan.  It will always be guarded against by countries around the world.

    Because of this, Bender did not have the courage to summon people to go to Africa alone to eliminate the Minoan Alliance, just in case the matter was exposed.  The wave of opposition that will be encountered may destroy the glorious achievements of three generations of the family that have struggled since World War II.

    "Well, you can do this, using our people as the backbone, recruiting mercenaries from various European countries to act. As long as you act covertly and you hide behind the scenes, even if the matter is exposed, the motherland of those mercenaries will be the scapegoat."

    There was great frustration in Ralph's tone.

    Bender was shocked. Acting in such a tactful way was also a way. However, he had not thought of it before. He was just afraid of the risks, so he rashly notified Carter and Bovakoev to let the American and Russian forces also participate.  It is much better for them to take care of things than for one family to shoulder the burden.

    "Alas, the matter has come to this, it is useless to say anything. Go and prepare dinner. If guests come, don't lose your family etiquette."

    After Ralph finished speaking, he got up from the recliner and went back to his room to change into formal attire.

    Bender looked at his father's back, blamed himself for a moment, sighed, and immediately went downstairs to prepare dinner.

    He also knew that he had not lived up to his father's expectations, but compared to other brothers, Ralph valued Bender the most because he was the most obedient son among the brothers!

    "At least, Ralph is sure to hand over the power to Bender, and no unexpected situation will arise. Stability is the first requirement for those who inherit the business after establishing a country.

    It was getting late, and when night fell, Bovakoev and Carter came to the manor one after another.

    We haven¡¯t seen Carter for more than half a year. Carter has gone through a lot of changes. Perhaps he is pretending to have experienced changes. The beard on his face makes him look more mature, but his expression is unsettled. Nothing seems to cheer him up, but Bovakoev does.  He is more energetic than before. Perhaps he is thinking about plundering the Minos Alliance. Now there is definite news.The breath refreshed his spirit.

    "Well, the food cooked by Madam is really delicious."

    Carter is like a casual guest. During dinner, he talks seriously while eating. This is more impressive to others than pretending to smile and appreciate.

    Ralph¡¯s wife was dignified and graceful. She smiled when she heard this, accepted the compliment gracefully, and then asked the two guests present to enjoy themselves.

    Carter has a good appetite and swallows food frequently without losing etiquette. His actions make the atmosphere at the table very harmonious. Everyone talks and laughs. His American humor will make others laugh from time to time.

    On the contrary, Bovakoev kept looking at Ralph from beginning to end, looking impatient. It was not until after dinner that Ralph waved to them, including his son Bender, and the three of them.  The man followed his footsteps upstairs and went to the study.

    In the study, Bender informed Carter and Bovakoev of the new discovery.

    Carter had just had a delicious meal and found a high-end cigar on the desk. He picked one up and lit it. He took a sip and thought about it. Then he turned around and asked lightly: "How is the defense there?"

    Bender said seriously and truthfully: "I know nothing about the internal situation except for the aerial footage. I sent people to try to go in to inquire, but they were intercepted on the outside and were told that it was private property and outsiders were not allowed to enter. It was true.  That's the territory leased by the Minoan Alliance, and it's legally their private territory."

    Carter smiled half-heartedly, sat next to Ralph and crossed his legs. He looked at Ralph, who had his eyes closed and looked peaceful, and said casually: "Since the upright people were blocked from the door, I never tried to send anyone."  Sneak in quietly?"

    Ben Desurong said: "During the day, it is surrounded by empty and desolate areas. People will be discovered if they don't get close. At night, people who try to sneak into the city lose contact after entering the city, and there is no way to do it."  Take action."

    Carter thought for a moment and played with the taste of the cigar in his mouth: "The small African country they are in should be one of the African gun-banning member states? Haha, if you can't do it in the dark, then let's do it openly. We will take people to raid that city. If  They fought back, showed their guns, and things became easier, leaving African countries to be cannon fodder." (To be continued.)
