Darkstone Code

Chapter 1098 - 1096: Capitalists Are Miracle Makers

Akumal looked at Lynch, he didn’t quite understand.

Actually, Gafura people have long invited him, hoping he could bring such a philosophy to the Amelia Region, a philosophy that advocates for non-violent means as a form of appeal.

Under the armed clearance of Darkstone Security, there are no longer any anti-government militants in the Amelia Region. However, people still show resistance to Gafura’s rule.

They can’t help it; they have lost too many family members and their homes have been occupied by enemies. It’s hard for them to accept this fate of having to obey the enemy’s command.

Resistance, both overt and covert, and sabotage haven’t ended to this day.

Even though the economy in the Amelia Region has improved and some people have started cooperating with the Gafura regime, the opposition hasn’t ceased.

The security advisors from Darkstone Security suggested to Gafura to leave a small portion of the anti-government militants alive, playing a game of cat and mouse with them.

During this process, more people wanting to resist or having a strong desire to rebel will contact these resistance organizations, or simply join them.

When these anti-government forces grow, they eliminate some of them, never giving them the chance to become stronger.

This method is good and effective, but...

It costs too much money.

The field agents of Darkstone Security are not volunteers; they charge fees and calculate them by the day!

Sometimes, the Emperor of Gafura feels that having the Prime Minister seize fiscal authority may not be a bad thing; at least he doesn’t need to worry about various expenses anymore—well, this is just a way to console himself, he still wishes he could get a headache himself.

Therefore, Gafura hopes more than anyone else that the Amelia people could also embrace this kind of philosophy, so they could save the fees paid to Darkstone Security.

"I don’t quite understand, Mr. Lynch. To be precise, I don’t care much about what happens in other countries. I haven’t planned to save everyone."

"I was born here, grew up here. My only thought is to make this place into the image I idealize. I haven’t thought about interfering in international issues."

His face is full of confusion. He doesn’t understand why Lynch wants him to expand his influence in the international community.

In a way, he can be said to be a selfish person or he can see clearly the scope of his abilities.

He can’t save anyone. Even for Nagariel, he can only strive without knowing what the outcome will be. He can only work hard with his eyes closed and pray everything will turn for the better.

Lynch shook his head, "So you still don’t understand. If Nagariel wants to succeed, first you must make people realize there are people here who need help."

"You must make people aware... ’Oh my god, the Federation has gone too far’."

"If you don’t achieve this, the international community will always be curious about Nagariel, exploring, without sparking their overflowing sympathy and attention. Nagariel’s transformation will never succeed."

"People won’t empathize too much with things they are not concerned with or have no interest in."

"That’s the reason to become famous, to become famous in the international community."

"You need to make more people recognize your philosophy, endorse your philosophy, let them genuinely believe your philosophy is the best way to resolve disputes!"

"To be honest, this isn’t hard at all because we experienced a war not long ago..."

It is precisely because people have experienced a world war that their attitudes toward war have become much more cautious, and at this moment if Akumal can establish his philosophical school in the international community, it will easily gain considerable attention from many groups.

Many followers of new ideologies will also be born among these people.

People who haven’t experienced the pains of war will never understand the despair and agony when war hurts themselves, so they are more unwilling than anyone else to have war break out again.

Akumal’s philosophy gives them a supporting point, a point that enables them to find ways to avoid war.

When more people’s attention is focused on Nagariel, the Federation will not be able to use many nasty means to change the process of Nagariel’s unity and sovereignty independence!

Otherwise, just artificially splitting apart this group, letting them form opposing camps internally, solves the problem.

There are many similar methods; when politics become filthy, it becomes more terrifying than any attack!

Akumal slowly realized this problem during Lynch’s conversation, if no one cares whether people here can retrieve their belongings, even if they work harder, they won’t get what they want.

Only under the attention of the international community, the high-pressure stance of international social opinions, and even the intervention of the Federation’s hostile forces, will the Federation give them what they call fairness.

Otherwise, even the "so-called" fairness won’t be there.

As for how to be noticed by the world, there are only a few ways.

Some people pay attention to him as a person, some focus on his philosophy, others watch where the ideological tide of Nagariel will lead the country’s people.

These are all forces that Nagariel’s people can borrow!

"I think I understand many things now, though I may still have some parts I haven’t figured out, but that won’t take too much time."

Akumal was somewhat emotional, "Talking to you always broadens one’s knowledge and horizons, Mr. Lynch."

In fact, the birth of Akumal’s philosophy was very special; it wasn’t through long research that a final thought emerged, but rather it was born out of coincidence.

Akumal himself hasn’t received advanced education; he merely knows how to read and write, hasn’t even undergone middle school education.

His capacity to develop such a philosophy was coincidental, a greater reason being he experienced many things.

From the inert Nagariel, to the heated Nagariel, to the seemingly peaceful Nagariel now, he experienced the most drastic changes in Nagariel over a few years.

From dissatisfaction, hatred towards foreigners, to now, this kind of experience that many may never acquire in a lifetime or several lifetimes accumulated in him in merely two years.

A large amount of external factors forcibly poured into him, compelling him to suddenly reach enlightenment in the midst of his life growth!

Just like a kind of epiphany, an awakening.

It wasn’t derived from the accumulation and precipitation of knowledge. This is also why Akumal believes all of this is his destiny, it’s the reason for his mission.

He thinks all this is divine guidance, his birth was to lead the Nagariel people on a different path!

His mission is arduous and difficult.

Yet he is confident to overcome these difficulties, even ready to face death at any time—

He has a feeling that if truly one day Nagariel people can truly grasp their destiny, then he would surely die before this day arrives.

Only when he dies will this day come.

But he is not afraid.

The mission is sacred, he will ultimately return to God’s embrace, he is merely the incarnation of God’s thought, everything is part of his mission...

"Mr. Lynch, why are you helping me?", Akumal thought for a while and then looked at Lynch.

His gaze was clear, pure, without any impurity. If someone with vile intentions stood before him, they would feel ashamed under his gaze.

Lynch felt open-hearted, he didn’t feel like that.

"Because you are a person to be respected, Akumal, anyone with great aspirations should receive the help of others."

"Every destined great person, at different stages, meets different people, different things. This is heaven’s assistance to him, also a tribulation given by heaven!"

"Only by overcoming every challenge, gaining help from everyone who could assist you, can you head towards true greatness and create truly great achievements!"

"I don’t know if I am the one who can help you on this journey, but I feel you should be a great person!"

Akumal laughed heartily, "Your words make me ashamed, Mr. Lynch. Today’s conversation with you has helped me so much. If I am a great person, then you surely are the Wise Man..."

This is part of a story from the local Nagariel religion, the story of the Nagariel King and the Wise Man, where the latter taught the former many things, then together led Nagariel to the strongest century.

He used the Wise Man as a metaphor for Lynch not to indirectly boast himself as the Nagariel King, but because of Lynch’s help to him and this country.

He paused a bit, ending the topic, "Mr. Lynch, if I want to expand my influence in the international community, where do you think is the best place to start?"

Lynch pointed out a path for him, "Go to Gafura!"

"Gafura, as the core victorious ally of the last world war, has enough status and influence in the international community. As invaders, they are also trying to find a better way to control the people in occupied territories."

"Your philosophy will to some extent meet their current primary needs. To stabilize and justify their rule in Amelia, they will give you decent treatment!"

"Including, but not limited to, helping you spread your philosophy and highly recognizing your ideology..."

The words and contents that ordinary people won’t speak or couldn’t understand were heard attentively by Akumal, combined with his analysis, he felt Lynch was correct.

But at this moment he also developed a doubt. He looked at Lynch for about seven or eight seconds, then asked softly, "Would doing this make your company suffer losses? If they end their business with Darkstone Security, would you be troubled by it?"

If the Amelia Region stabilizes, it means Lynch’s people will not have their place. Gafura would no longer continue paying.

Lynch would suffer losses.

But he said with a smile at this moment, "I just earn less money, but I witness the birth of a miracle!"
