Bolvar, the mayor, was elected by canvassing for votes.

His competitor was a fish merchant.

The fish-selling merchant was obviously not as relevant as the banker Boval.

Berval paid for a tabloid newspaper in Saint-Martin, saying that the fish merchant always sold dead fish to others and was short of two pounds.

For this reason, the merchants' association of the city of Saint-Martin also suspended the licence of the fish seller and banned him from dealing in fish until the facts were ascertained.

In order to ensure fairness and impartiality, the so-called joint investigation team also specially recruited two parliamentarians from the British Empire to supervise and verify.

From the departure of the two councillors to their arrival at St. Maarten after eating, drinking, and walking, it took half a year.

And at that time, the fish seller was already bankrupt, where was the energy to run for mayor?

The subsequent investigation naturally ended hastily, because there was no evidence to prove that the fish seller was selling sick and dead fish, and there was no evidence that the fish seller was short of two catties.

However, everyone is struggling with gold and destroying bones.

The power of public opinion has been formed, and even if the results of the investigation come out, no one will dare to buy fish from the fish seller's shop.

In this way, Bolval was elected the first mayor of Saint-Martin without any suspense, and he was still for life.

The process of pursuing power corrupts people, and all kinds of despicable tricks with no lower limit will be used with all their might without scruples.

This is the essence of the electoral system.

The electoral system was meant to be good, so that all people could enjoy the right to choose for themselves.

But the problem is that most of the citizens of Sint Maarten don't understand what they are choosing for.

They just read the newspaper that the merchant who sells the fish sells the fish that has died of disease, so they don't choose the merchant who sells the fish.

They don't care about the truth, they're like a flock of confused sheep, and it's easy to be led by the nose by those who hold public opinion.

Therefore, the original beautiful electoral system has evolved into a battlefield where the lower limit of human beings shows, all kinds of slander, all kinds of rumors, all kinds of slander, only you can't think of it, and they can't do it.

One of the first things Bolval did when he was elected was to rebuild a huge royal bank and hire skilled craftsmen to build a huge steel vault.

Today's opening ceremony is for the opening of the new Royal Bank.

Bowwal will show and introduce his new treasury in front of the "citizens", so that the citizens can deposit all their money in his bank, and he can continue to lend money when he has it.

The celebrities of the city of San Martín received an invitation from the mayor of Bowel and all arrived, and even the brigadier general of the port of San Martin, Fili, put down his work and came with a group of soldiers to watch the ceremony.

After the celebrities were seated, Mayor Boward walked to the door of the Royal Bank with joy on his face: "Welcome to all the distinguished guests!" You are the true masters of St. Maarten! Sint Maarten is honored to have you there! ”

The citizens below all applauded happily.

Mayor Bovar is right, these colonists are indeed the real masters of this small island in South America, thinking that their army landed on this small island 100 years ago, killed all the South American natives who dared to resist, and sold the remaining South American natives as slaves, and in St. Martin 100 years later, no one rebelled against them, and they naturally became the real masters here.

The colonization of the Americas by Westerners has been completely successful, not only by force, but also by culture, so Westerners are becoming more and more arrogant, they think that they are the best race, and the other races are inferior races that should be ruled by them.

Of course, when the West wanted to apply this set of colonization of the Americas to the ancient countries of the East, it found that it did not work at all.

At that time, although the ancient countries of the East were impoverished and the 40,000 people could not even make a decent weapon, the resilience of the ancient countries of the East was beyond the conquest of the Western colonists.

Although some traitors were born in this process, and these traitors also gave birth to many little traitors who were not liquidated, but this nation has more heroes than traitors after all.

If there are more traitors, the nation will be finished.

There are so many heroes, and no matter how fiercely suppressed by the Western powers, they will not be able to destroy this nation.

Therefore, a nation without heroes is perishable.

When a nation does not worship its own heroes, but rather the heroes created by the West, the nation is already dangerous.

The Americas were a people lacking heroes, and the Native Americans thought they would survive by submitting to the Western powers and enjoy cooking.

However, it was a dish of Westerners, and Westerners only treated the colonized as dogs, so what kind of dishes do dogs need?

Mayor Boward looked around triumphantly until the applause stopped.

"Today, we are gathered precisely to celebrate the inauguration of the Royal Bank of St. Martin!"

"As a professional, I am proud to tell you that this bank is the strongest bank in the entire Caribbean, and its solidity is even comparable to that of the Royal Bank of Lunduun!"

Mayor Bovar beckoned, and two attendants opened the door of the bank, revealing a huge steel treasury two meters square, housed in the bank hall.

The citizens present all let out a cry of amazement, they had never seen such a heavy safe.

Mayor Boward enjoyed looking at the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, "...... Our vaults! It's five feet thick! No guns can destroy it! ”

"With this bank, the city of Saint-Martin is also modernised! You can rest assured that you can boldly deposit your money in the treasury of the Royal Bank of St. Martin! ”

"Not a single one! There is not a single army! Even if it's the devil! Don't even try to snatch a piece of gold from the Royal Bank of St. Martin! ”

Mayor Boval was eloquent and generous.

The citizens below were deeply infected and applauded vigorously.

Mayor Boward took out a cumbersome key from his waist and showed it to everyone, "This is the only key to the vault!" Your mayor, me, Bervar Lawrence, is in charge! ”

"Now, I'm going to show you how rich the Royal Bank of St. Martin is! Safe! ”

So saying, he handed the key to the vault to the attendant beside him.

The waiter walked over to the vault with the key and unscrewed the intricate lock.

The vault slowly opened, and Bolval triumphantly waited for the surprised expressions of the citizens.

But...... The eyes of the citizens widened, and several female citizens even hid their mouths and exclaimed.

Boval was slightly stunned, and then looked into the vault.

A scruffy guy in tattered pirate clothes was sleeping on the partition of the vault, with an unfinished bottle of rum in his hand, and beside him, full of gold bars and coins.

"Pirates!" Some in the crowd shouted.
