Chapter 1661: Fortune tricks people
At the same time, in the mansion No. 13 on Yi Lai Road in the Eternal City, known as the "Mao Mansion" by the world, the owner of the mansion, Mr. Mao Yuanzuo, who is about to celebrate his 90th birthday, is also in the process of A meeting.
The most senior and oldest political veteran in the community said in a firm tone: "There is no doubt. President Keith Nishita is not under any control. He is a mentally sound and physically healthy person who can take care of himself. He remains our legitimate head of state, our wartime leader, and he deserves our loyalty at all times."
Mao Yuanzuo had a gentle tone and a kind smile, but his attitude was very firm.
He glanced at the holographic projections surrounding him, and his eyes finally stopped on the face of the middle-aged man closest to him: "Ruth, you should understand. It is at this critical moment that we need to stand Be by President Nikita's side, help him, support him and show our loyalty and solidarity to the universe. ”
The middle-aged man known as "Ruth" is naturally the Vice President Hierro of the Blue Star Community and the leader of the Co-Prosperity Party. Now we are rushing back by boat. We have just entered the Terra star region and are still one planet away from the earth.
Compared with the Nigerian President who fled back in embarrassment, Vice President Ye seemed to have returned with a full load. When he went to Sede Fortress, he happened to catch up with (so-called in later generations) the first Battle of Sede.
Of course, it is absolutely undeniable that he himself was in the fortress when the battle was at its fiercest, and according to the media, he was calm and composed from beginning to end and was chatting and laughing with Admiral Sylvester.
Considering that at that time, Vice President Hierro was the highest official of the community on the battlefield, rounding it off, there should be no problem in saying "I commanded the Battle of Saide", right?
However, the Vice President, who has always been in the limelight and has a bit of a wartime iron-blooded leader, still looked down and cautious in front of Mao Yuanzuo, who was over 90 years old, like a lower-grade primary school student.
He bowed his head humbly and responded: "...Yes, I understand what you mean."
"Very good, you are a smart child, but you also know the principle of not fighting. In the field of politics, having this understanding is the most important. After returning to Earth, Russ, you must also fulfill your obligations It is the duty of a good assistant to pay special attention to maintaining the authority of the President.”
"Maintain...authority?" Vice President Hierro's tone was full of disbelief.
The rest of the holographic projections, including the ministers of the Co-Prosperity Party in the cabinet and several very influential senior members of parliament, couldn't help but look at each other.
They will inevitably have some hesitation and doubts, but they dare not put forward any opinions at all. In other words, these political bigwigs who live in eight seats are actually accustomed to obeying all the arrangements of this old man.
So, the kind old man was very satisfied. Of course, because of his own demeanor and wisdom in controlling people, he still smiled and explained: "The world says that our Co-Prosperity Party is the old and young left behind by the imperial colonization, and is a kind of gangster... However, being tainted by the country, You all should understand what it means to be the master of society. We are also doing our best to find opportunities for civilization and the nation to develop. We were never traitors then, and we are not now!"
Some people probably understood it, such as smart people like Vice President Hierro. Some people still look confused. Facts have proved that even at their social level, the gap in IQ is obvious. Many big names are just average, and may not even reach the average of the public.
Of course, this is not really a problem. Compared to its pro-alliance political friends opposite, the Co-Prosperity Party's internal unity and execution simply don't resemble a political party in a democratically elected government. This may also be related to everyone's obedience.
You will never go wrong if you listen to Uncle Mao Yuanzuo.
Then, seeing a smart man like Vice President Hierro, he made another calculation: "I understand, uncle. Therefore, we must try our best to satisfy the demands of the frontline soldiers."
"You even have to over-satisfy. If some government departments are unwilling to cooperate with the front line, you should also play your responsibilities as ministers and elders. Although the two generals Yang and Yu are Han Yue, I would never dare to have the surname Qin. Especially, General Yu Lian on the far bank should not let such a young military god feel cold!" Mao Yuanzuo looked like a pillar of the country who has lost thousands of people, and a strong sense of martyrdom appeared on his face.
Vice President Hierro also looked as if he had suddenly realized: "Fortunately, I was quite restrained on the far bank. Although I got a little limelight, I finally put General Sylvester and General Yu first. ”
"You are good." Mao Yuanzuo's expression was very pleased: "As for whether you can go further, of course it depends on your luck. But, Ruth, you have this potential, you should be able to surpass me."
The Vice President looked clearly moved. His projection even went into a trance, and he didn't know if he was too excited and ran into some mechanism somewhere.
And an older congressman asked suspiciously: "So, Mr. President's so-called proactive plan?"
As a senior member of Congress, he is also a member of the National Defense Steering Group and has the power to supervise all work of the National Defense Committee and the headquarters.
Mao Yuanzuo looked at the crowd again: "Is Chairman Maxel absent? His recent work pressure is indeed the greatest."
No one answered immediately, and the atmosphere seemed a bit subtle. If it weren't for the fact that the people "on the scene" were all political bigwigs and acting was a compulsory course, maybe some people would actually laugh out loud on the spot.
After Mr. Maxell retired with the rank of general, he joined the Co-Prosperity Party in order to enter politics. As a veteran general in the military and the former president of the National Defense University, he has indeed received strong support from the party and been promoted to such a high position as chairman of the National Defense Commission.
To this extent, even the real big guys in the army who hold the marshal's scepter are theoretically considered his subordinates.
But in fact, Maxell had only joined the Co-Prosperity Party for less than two years. He was not regarded as one of the real core members of the party, so he was naturally not qualified to participate in this private meeting like a secret society. .
Mao Yuanzuo said: "Of course Mr. President can make suggestions based on the current war situation, and he is also qualified to make the final decision. As long as we can be sure that he made the decision with his own will under the premise of freedom of spirit and soul, that is enough ”
Vice President Hierro was startled for a moment, then smiled: "I understand. Uncle, our final will can be realized."
"You are so reliable. Among the younger generations, you are the one I look up to the most. When you return to Earth as soon as possible, my uncle can feel at ease."
So, what do you understand? What is our final will?
Someone at the scene must have such doubts, but considering that it would make him look stupid, he still couldn't say it out loud.
Mao Yuanzuo added: "As for you, some reports have been sent to me. I will send them to you after I fine-tune them. I hope you can implement them."
The projections nodded and accepted the order as if they were receiving an order. They all said that if there is no such respected boss in this country as Mr. Mao, they will indeed be disbanded.
They waited for a while, and after confirming that the old councilor had no other instructions, they all bowed and left. Everyone's etiquette is naturally very decent, but it does always give people a feeling of kneeling down.
This is what a highly obedient political party is. The politicians and bureaucrats who are in the spotlight can just quarrel with each other in Congress and the cabinet and perform in front of the media and the public, but the behind-the-scenes boss of the faction like Mr. Mao Yuanzuo has a lot to consider.
Therefore, although it was already past midnight, the old congressman who had celebrated his ninetieth birthday did not seem to be worried about his blood pressure at all and still did not rest.
Like a well-trained social animal in his prime, he opened a series of windows, including timely star maps of the war situation, last month's battle reports for each war zone, and Libra Bank's analysis of the interstellar trade trends in the entire galaxy in 833. Pictures etc.
He began to work, his eyes swept over these complex icons representing various fields, his eyes were electric and his pen was flying, like an efficient and precise machine. In just one hour, he was able to sort out twenty documents and send them out separately, with a work efficiency that most elite social workers and professional bureaucrats were ashamed of.
"Indeed, this Co-Prosperity Party and this Blue Star Community will really fall apart without me!" Mao Yuanzuo let out a sigh of relief and stretched out his finger to flick the bell on the desk.
The study door opened automatically, and a wheeled robot slid in carrying a tray.
Many people have a deep-rooted belief that whether they are a noble or a nouveau riche depends on whether the person who serves them is a human or a robot.
However, as the true leader of the Co-Prosperity Party, Mao Yuanzuo, the oldest man in the world, whose maternal grandmother was from a marquis family, does not have such a need for "elegance".
The refreshments on the tray are also very simple, a plate of boiled peanuts and a plate of fried peas, plus a pot of rice wine soaked in plums.
He didn't mind the visitor who followed the robot carelessly into the office. He just took a sip of rice wine with the peas and let out a satisfied sigh.
"Peanuts, do you want to eat?" Mao Yuanzuo asked the visitor.
"...Since it's rice wine, I should get some salted bamboo shoots and fennel beans." The visitor said.
"There is no such rule. I have reached this age and I can eat whatever I want." Mao Yuanzuo began to peel the peanuts slowly.
"There are rumors outside that you eat more than two hundred dishes in one meal." The visitor said.
This is a middle-aged man in formal clothes. He has an ordinary appearance but is meticulously dressed. He has a capable and shrewd temperament, like an executive from a large company or bank.
Of course, we also know that this kind of business people, no matter how elite you are, are actually quite unrecognizable.
Mao Yuanzuo showed a calm smile: "This is not the fault of the legend, nor is it the fault of the public who believe in this legend. I am indeed a person who is greedy for pleasure and a person who is content with the status quo."
The visitor couldn't help but laugh and looked at the surrounding windows that were still floating.
"For me, authority is also a kind of enjoyment, and it is also my way of practice." Mao Yuanzuo said with a smile.
The visitor's face was full of awe: "The practice of occultism is really all-encompassing!"
"Of course, I am trying to trick you. I am actually an old monster who won't let go of the power! The MPs and bureaucrats in the party can be responsible for all affairs, and I want to understand and give instructions. , I want to decide. This feeling is more refreshing than sex. This is why I am so energetic and energetic at this age. "Power is my aphrodisiac!" Mao Yuanzuo said again.
"Isn't it because you are a saint?" The visitor showed a regretful look: "Actually, if you had been the one to take charge of the overall situation during the War of Independence, our support for the people of the earth would have been more logical. If it really happened The history of a Terran Empire might be very different.”
"If this is the case, Old Man Lan will definitely chop me off first. He likes Lao Li, but he doesn't like me. Really, it's obvious that my relationship with Old Man Lan has been longer? Really, it's obvious that I was the first one. No matter if we become friends, no matter how we practice, or whether we live and die together, Lao Li got the upper hand. Why did it become like this?" Mao Yuanzuo also looked regretful.
"Is there such a past? I only know that you and Master Lan are old friends." Zigong showed an interesting look.
"I'm still young. I even woke up earlier than Old Man Lan. The breathing method that the old guy used to lay the foundation was the teaching material I learned from the Knights." Mao Yuanzuo said proudly.
"Creation, fate makes people."
"Isn't that right?"
The two of them let out a long sigh at the same time, which was so ghostly.
Mao Yuanzuo paused for a moment, then looked at the other party suspiciously: "However, this so-called support is questionable. When you say this, who do you represent? The Alliance or the World-Wide Snake?"< br>
Ping Ping Wu Qi, who was like an elite social animal, shrugged his shoulders: "You have to believe me, in general, I stand for the interests of the people of the earth, just like you. After all, I am also a person of the earth, otherwise I wouldn't It has the title of 'Zigong'."
Mao Yuanzuo laughed loudly: "The identity and foundation of snake heads has always been a metaphysics. I once remembered that my predecessor's 'Ms. Now' said that she was from Earth."
"She is indeed an Earthling. In addition, she is not an ex." Zigong said.
"Now Miss Past also says that she is from Earth."
"She is indeed an Earthling. After all, her biological mother was born on Earth." The ordinary-looking snakehead spread his hands: "However, this is not important. Whether our identity and foundation are true or not will not affect the world. The Covenant between the Snake and the Co-Prosperity Party”
"It's a covenant with me." Mao Yuanzuo interrupted. He remains affable but firm.
There was a brief silence for Zigong, and then he said: "Yes, it is indeed an alliance with you. Then, according to your wishes, the new Secret Service Security Bureau of the Blue Star Community, as well as the Blue Guard, will have reliable Consultant.”
Mao Yuanzuo showed a sincere smile, stretched out his hands and shook the other person vigorously: "Thank you very much!"
"You're welcome. You've paid, and we will provide reliable personnel. Business is business!" Snakehead added: "In addition, for future cooperation, there is another piece of information here, which can be used as a basis for this happy cooperation. ”
"I am all ears and grateful." Mao Yuanzuo wiped the non-existent tears from his eyes.
"Do you know about a man named Tan Jize?"
"How can you not know such a talented person? How dare you not know? If he is willing to become a descendant of the inferior party, I will definitely push him to the position of president before he dies." Mao Yuanzuo said.
Zigong spread his hands and said: "Why don't we, the snake of the world, need such talents? He has just created a feat of 10,000 light-years expedition! It is really admirable!"
