Chapter 1690 Everything Settled
Lyon eventually left John's house.
John has already sacrificed himself; the dead cannot be brought back to life.
However, Lyon still stayed at John's house for dinner.
I also inquired about the two children's studies.
Leon frowned, especially after learning that his two children had been bullied at school.
John's mother knew that her two children were safe.
Yun Li also knew that the two girls were set for life.
Before leaving, Leon said something to John's mother.
"If you encounter any difficulties in the future, go to the intelligence agency to find Hans or go to the Duke's mansion to find me. This is what we owe you."
Listening to Leon's words, John's mother didn't say much. She knew that Leon was very busy and that he wouldn't stay at her house for long.
But what she wanted wasn't a better life for her family; she wanted her child to come back...
When Lyon first established his intelligence agency.
John then chose to join the intelligence agency.
Because he was unable to join the National Defense Force.
He actually wanted to join the National Defense Force at first.
However, due to physical reasons, he was unable to become a soldier in the National Defense Force.
Therefore, he had no choice but to settle for joining the newly formed intelligence agency.
The intelligence agency needs agents, not soldiers.
Soldiers can obey orders, but asking them to be secret agents is clearly asking too much of them.
Special agents need more than just combat skills.
What's needed even more is the ability to read between the lines and other things.
John stood out from his fellow agents and became a senior agent.
And he did this for five years.
As one of the earliest veterans, Hans once considered promoting Johann.
He was relieved of his dangerous frontline duties and instead put in charge of training new agents.
But John refused.
John's idea was actually quite simple.
That means frontline agents can earn a few extra dollars in salary.
They earn at least a little more than the agents who stay in the rear.
For John and his group...
Even a few dollars can be the straw that breaks the camel's back.
At least they can eat their fill and support their families, and that's enough.
Initially, intelligence agents were paid very low wages.
Because Lyon didn't have much money at the time.
Their only source of income was selling things like sugar.
Later, he got into the arms business.
Lyon's path to wealth was entirely a process of primitive accumulation.
Controlling the market by monopolizing unique resources.
For others, Lyon's products may be expensive, but Lyon is the only store in the world that sells them. What other choice do they have besides buying them?
Of course, they can choose not to buy it. For some people, it may not matter if things are a little expensive, but they can't be without what others have!
This is the thinking of some wealthy and aristocratic families.
You must have what others have! And you must have even more of what others don't have!
At the time, the construction of the national defense force was the main expense, but Lyon still gritted his teeth and gave the intelligence agency a large amount of funding.
In the early days, the military spending of the National Defense Forces exceeded that of the Intelligence Bureau, but as the territory expanded, the military spending of the National Defense Forces exceeded that of the Intelligence Bureau.
The intelligence agency's budget gradually surpassed that of the national defense forces, a situation that persists to this day.
The intelligence agency's budget has exceeded twice the military budget of the defense forces.
If Leon hadn't restricted the intelligence agency's power beforehand...
The intelligence agency may have already become a huge complex.
They not only possess military power, but also intelligence gathering capabilities, and can even control the country.
Under Lyon's pressure.
The intelligence agencies gradually separated their powers.
Hans, however, did not care about this.
What if the intelligence agencies are separated?
He is the director of the intelligence agency and also Leon's loyal subordinate.
Hans could often give orders directly without Lyon's consent.
This is the power Lyon gave him.
But Hans will not take his position for granted, nor will he abuse his power.
After Lyon dealt with John's matter, the Dragon's Nest also came to an end.
More than half of the upper echelons of the Dragon's Nest evaporated.
As for where these dragons went, that remains unknown.
Anyway, the Dragon Queen Viria never appeared again after that.
However, there was one more guest at the Duke's mansion in Lyon.
Kuroba found his mother and immediately questioned her about why she had tried to assassinate Leon's daughter.
Viya was in a real bind.
He had nothing to do with the assassination attempt, because he not only did not instigate it, but also did not take any other actions.
Because she knew she was in the wrong.
And after this war, they finally understood one thing: the dragon had never respected her.
He is the master when he needs her, but when he doesn't need her, he doesn't even bother to inform her.
What's the point of keeping such a country around?
I promised the first Dragon Lord that I would ensure the dragons would live on.
She succeeded, allowing the dragons to take root in the dragon's lair.
But over time, the country changed.
The Dragon's Nest had transformed into a sight that Viria could hardly believe.
The dragons are no longer hardworking, nor do they respect the elderly or care for the young; everyone is enjoying everything.
They have forgotten the humiliation of the past and everything they suffered in the past.
The high-ranking members of Dragon's Nest all died suddenly, while the common people received Lyon's forgiveness.
There's no way around it, there are just too many people, tens of millions!
When will this killing ever end?
Besides, ordinary people have never been the beneficiaries of war.
With the dust settled on the Dragon's Lair, the war on the planet was finally over.
They might have had to fight the Cangshui Empire.
The problem is that the Cangshui Empire simply collapsed.
He disregarded his own dignity and grabbed Leon's leg, saying, "I'm going to be your dog."
How should this matter be resolved?
You've already slid down and knelt before me like a dog, so what am I supposed to do?
What else is there to say?
Although the Cangshui Empire has slid to its knees, the necessary procedures still need to be followed.
The Cangshui Empire retained its name, but was downgraded to a province.
Furthermore, the royal family was not allowed to continue ruling the country.
However, they retained a certain amount of wealth, which allowed them to gradually perpetuate their family line.
At least the next few generations will be worry-free. As for the generations after that, if you squander the money, then never mind...
But as it turns out, the rich get richer...
According to intelligence statistics, the sons of noble families are actually more likely to obtain important positions.
They received elite education, which was cultivated from a young age.
And what about ordinary people? How many years of schooling have they received in recent years? What do they have to compete with these honored nobles?
Although Cadis did not abuse his power for personal gain.
However, almost all of his grandchildren have become successful.
The only useless one managed to become a platoon leader.
Of course, he definitely didn't write the essay about my marshal grandfather.
However, like begets like, and a rat's son knows how to dig a hole.
Cadis's grandson did indeed have some military talent.
This made everyone incredibly envious.
Of course, this doesn't mean that ordinary people have no chance.
William and Goodry are an example.
One was a farmer, and the other was a worker.
Who says workers and peasants can't shine?
There are talented people among workers and peasants!
(Good night)
