Chapter 539 Barnes’ Fantasy


Chapter 539: Barnes’ Fantasy

[Countdown to Unstable Energy Explosion: 12 Hours]

New York, Barnes’s plane landed at the airport, wearing an oxygen mask on his face. The person has his eyes closed and looks very tired.

As he is about to turn 100 years old, flying for more than two hours will make him feel weak and he needs to take oxygen regularly.

The chair under him continuously releases weak currents, stimulating his muscles to slightly vibrate. The blood flows faster due to muscle contraction and squeezing, ensuring his health and ensuring that his brain will not become confused.

On the tablet in front of him was Roxon's message.

[Dario: Congratulations, President-elect Barnes, we'd better arrange your appointment as soon as possible, the situation waits for no one. 】

[Dario: But I still have to say, I don’t think giving the speech in New York is a good choice. We could have given Atlas Group a head-on blow, as long as you choose to win in Houston. By choosing a speech, investors will feel more confident. 】

【Dario: It’s still too late to change the itinerary, it’s always time. 】

[Barnes: What are you anxious about? Didn’t I help you build a bridge with the Ministry of National Defense? 】

[Barnes: Look, I want to give a victory speech here, and you know the gimmick I used to run: I'm a decorated World War II veteran and I'm going to lead voters out of jail. 】

[Dario: Win another war, don’t forget this. 】

[Dario: Remember our agreement, Mr. President-elect, your recent behavior has made investors hesitant, and I, I am very dissatisfied. 】

[Dario: Remember, I, we are all watching you. 】

Communication was interrupted and the plane landed smoothly. Barnes took off his mask, looked at the ceiling and sighed.

"Those who don't know better think I'm here to work for the company."

After sighing, he looked out the window and saw that Lille was already waiting in the terminal.

Obviously, within this day, Lille will rely on getting close to him as the president to release some news to the outside world, and this news will definitely make Roxon furious——

Their concealment It's over. From now on, we will continue to test Roxon's bottom. Line, the best.

The best, he can mediate and mediate the struggle between the two groups and smoothly transition the society to the development stage, instead of like now, there may be two parties with different opinions marching on the street, And there may be a fight in the next second, a super brawl.

Yes, in this political and interest struggle, in fact, Barnes also had his own ideas. He was totally trying to win Roxon's support for peaceful dealings, and then told Lille that he could cooperate in calming down the civil war craze. I never thought about which side I wanted to help.

A mature politician likes to engage in this kind of multi-party equilibrium.

Thinking about how to explain to Lille and how to control the situation, he quickly stepped off the plane. Lille also stood beside his car waiting, and Mayor Anthony also stood beside him. He was flanked by other important state and city officials.

Farther away are American soldiers and reporters. This scene of the meeting will definitely be seen by Roxon——

But it is not too sensitive, because this is New York. How will he get there after landing? You have to meet with local officials, and local officials will definitely arrange for Lille to be here.

After the two walked in, they exchanged friendly smiles, shook hands, and then took photos in front of the media at the same time.

While taking pictures, Leal said: "I hope that after my victory speech, you can go around the industrial residential area rebuilt by Lee Financial. Hell's Kitchen was once part of it, but now it has The construction is in order.

This will increase the national confidence in options other than war, and it will also give Roxon's small gang a financial blow, and he will probably be fooled

As. If listed companies can win over their investors, they will suffer a major blow. After getting rid of them, we can accelerate economic revitalization."

Barnes' expression did not change much, he said lightly. Shaking his head: "I want to see it too, but I am almost 100 years old. I want to take a rest after winning the election."

Leal instantly understood what Barnes was thinking -

Because he had just saved a politician in the cyberpunk world who liked to walk a tightrope between companies.

The two walked slowly side by side under the aisle of dignitaries. Lille said in a voice that only they could hear:

"Mr. President-elect, I know what you are thinking, Do you think you can eliminate the conflict between us by giving me a date and a handful of candies, so that the country can develop in a stable manner?

As long as the economic and employment issues are solved, the conflicts will disappear. .”

Barnes didn't feel like he had been seen through at all, but continued to say slightly surprised: "You think too much"

"It doesn't matter, I respect your thoughts."

Er interrupted him, which really surprised Barnes. Although his performance was still very weak, he did not continue to defend.

Lille continued: "I respect your thoughts. Maybe in your heart you are more accepting of Roxon's thoughts. You want to establish the country's dominance wholeheartedly. You think I am a shameless Madonna for sponsoring other people. Nations against their own nations.

It’s just that you have also seen the situation of the domestic economy and the pulling effect of Atlas on the economy and compromised. Or the other way around, you think I am right, but you have to take into account the US military and those. A hapless soldier who will have nowhere to go if military spending is cut

It doesn't matter, I can give you time. No matter what, you are still the president elected by public opinion. At least you did not fully support Roxon, but complied with public opinion: Since the vote gap is not big, you can talk about both sides. ”

The two continued to walk forward, and Lear opened the car door for Barnes.

The president-elect gave Lear a deep look: Since Lille could see it, Roxon might also be able to guess something, but the latter did not point it out at all, but warned him with a gun and a stick.

In comparison, he felt that Lille was more open-minded. .

Leal continued: "But some people will never be satisfied. I have a hunch that today he elected a president to control the governing power, and tomorrow he can elect a parliament to control the legislative power. After that, he will start to explain The law tells you how to understand the words on the black and white paper.”

“Aren’t you the same? Mr. Li, in my opinion, you are all companies, and you are just interpreting the world from your own perspective and ideas. .
< br>No country will like a company that helps other countries fight against itself. There is a reason why some people hate you. On this point, it is impossible for me to stand directly on your side.

And there are too many unemployed people. People think you gave up your job opportunity to the old African man."

Liel nodded slightly: "Maybe, no matter what, I respect your choice. Atlas is a law-abiding company."


"Law-abiding companies will not sink aircraft carriers."

"That is also legal. It is the US military that broke into the African Union border without authorization. Secondly, being law-abiding does not mean being weak - Mr. President-elect, I am definitely restrained enough. "

Barnes paused as he got into the car, looked at Lear, and sighed.

“I really don’t want to fight anymore, but I will always serve my country, do you understand what I mean?”

“I understand, congratulations, Mr. President-elect.”


Barnes didn't say anything else. The two adjusted their expressions, shook hands and hugged gently again. Then the president-elect got into the car and the group boss stood there.

Lille watched the car leave under escort, with a lot of thoughts in his heart——

He is a man who has lived two lifetimes, and he is not angry because of Barnes's renegade to a certain extent, and Secretly holding a grudge.

On the contrary, he had the feeling of seeing his former self.

A country is the product of irreconcilable conflicts between different interest groups. It can be said that it is precisely because of the existence of various contradictions and the mediation and regulation by politicians that countries in the world exist.

Barnes felt that what he loved was the flag, the Stars and Stripes, and he wanted to serve his final service.

However, this is like four people in a dormitory. Three of them quarreled every day. You tried to break up the fight every day for the sake of harmony. In the end, everyone chose you to be the dormitory leader. You drew a picture as a sign of friendship in the dormitory. Symbol, I hope everyone can look at this painting, give in as much as possible, and refrain from arguing over three melons and two dates.

But give full play to your own strengths. Those who love sports will encourage others to move, and those who love learning will encourage others to study hard. Make progress every day, and everyone will have fun together.

But how could you love the process of breaking up a fight?

As the dormitory leader, you have to mediate between them. This is your responsibility.

But in fact, as a person, of course you have your own tendencies. Your original intention of mediating is that each of these three bastards has some shining points, which makes you not want to see their relationship getting worse and worse. In the end, someone even took a small The hammer smashed the other man's head to pieces.

For Barnes, what he really loves certainly does not include mass unemployment, people are homeless, and a large number of innocent people overseas have been bombed and died in ignorance and fear.

Amidst the contradiction, he became confused in seeking to fulfill his job function and the meaning of life.

He didn’t know if he was doing the right thing, maybe he was right, the two sides finally worked hand in hand, the country got through the difficulties, and the world became stable.

Maybe he is wrong and more people will die

But really no one can predict the future.

The old man looked absently at the sun outside the window, and suddenly thought of the day he chose to join the army decades ago when he heard that Pearl Harbor was bombed.

That day, he happily found his good brother Steve Rogers to show off his military service registration certificate. To his surprise, he also wanted to join the army!

The thin bamboo pole in his memory appeared in front of him. The thin bamboo pole was surrounded by bullies and beaten violently in the alley, but it was he who helped the thin bamboo pole escape the siege.

The thin bamboo pole finally wore a big mecha, and he coaxed him out of a group of German soldiers and gave him a message:

"Don't do anything stupid until I come back."

Barnes laughed suddenly

"How could it be? You've done all the stupid things."
