Chapter 52: To Our President
(The situation of the commuter pass is infinitely terrifying, please give me power with the ticket in your hand...... We look forward to your vote, thank you very much. )
......
......
The bar was full of New Year's celebrations, stimulated by alcohol and good news from previous news, talking loudly and toasting to people they didn't know. Xu Le walked to the corner of the bar with great difficulty, and when he saw the two empty liquor bottles in front of Shi Qinghai, he couldn't help but shake his head.
Shi Qinghai was still wearing the crumpled suit, his whole person was exuding a sour smell, and there was nothing in front of the table except a few bottles of amber spirits, two wine glasses, and a bucket of ice.
"Zhang Xiaomeng didn't come with you?" Shi Qinghai opened his eyes lazily, although he had already poured two bottles of spirits into his lower abdomen, the eyes of this investigation bureau official who looked more like a yuppie were still clear, without a trace of drunkenness.
Xu Le admired Shi Qinghai's amount of wine the most, sighed and poured himself a shallow layer of wine, but added seven pieces of ice, and replied: "She has a party at home today, so I went back first." ”
In fact, Zhang Xiaomeng didn't want to go back to the home full of stale and only knew that she kept socializing in high society. However, she confessed her identity as a spy to Xu Le today, and Xu Le naturally would not bring her to meet Shi Qinghai, after all, Shi Qinghai was an FBI official. Thinking of Zhang Xiaomeng, Xu Le's expression gradually condensed, and he couldn't fully understand what was going on with the girl.
"I haven't seen you for some days, why did that woman come back to you?" Shi Qinghai saw his expression, his delicate eyebrows furrowed, and when he knew that Zhang Xiaomeng and Xu Le were together on the phone, he immediately deduced that the Medellin Councillor was there. Thinking that the female student might want to get closer to Tai Zhiyuan by returning to Xu Le's side, it was difficult for him to hide the disgust in his heart, and he said coldly, "Have you forgotten what happened before the prom?"
Xu Le smiled honestly, although he couldn't guess Shi Qinghai's specific worries, he could also hear that the other party was concerned about himself, avoided this question, and said: "Let's talk about you, what secret mission of the Investigation Bureau wants you to leave for so long, I went to the fourth department to find you, and even your staff members don't know where you went." ”
"Well, since it's a secret mission, those little cubs naturally don't know. Shi Qinghai's eyebrows raised, and he was indescribably proud, "Nominally, I just took a two-month leave and went on vacation to the southern tropics." ”
"In that case, this task naturally cannot be told to me. Xu Le said with a smile.
Shi Qinghai shrugged his shoulders and acquiesced to this statement, lying down comfortably on the sofa, drinking and watching the TV in the bar. The breaking news was still repeated on the TV light screen, and the Pabul Councillor walking up the gangway on the screen looked so calm, and the wind in the S2 Qinglong Mountain area blew his windbreaker.
Looking at this picture, Shi Qinghai pursed his thin lips, his eyes narrowed, and he fell into deep thought. In these dozens of days, he has been very busy, and the contact between the Tai family and the [***] army has all been completed through him alone, the bargaining of the conditions of the two sides, the back and forth transmission of information, and the collision of each other's wills...... It was very hard for him.
The number two man of the army has long since left Linhai Prefecture, and all this must be done by his reading power. He used the secret line and devoted himself to this shocking behind-the-scenes transaction, not only to avoid the attention of the federal political axe, but also to prevent the Tai family's surveillance, which was as heavy as a mountain, pressing him to the point that he was almost unable to breathe, and he had no time to take a shower.
Now that everything is over for the time being, the two sides have reached an agreement, and dozens of days of hard work and tension seem to have paid off a good result, looking at the demeanor of the swarthy Pabur Councillor on the screen, he actually felt a little exhausted for a while.
"You know what? This rock-like guy on the screen will be our President next year. Shi Qinghai put down his wine glass, lit a cigarette, took a beautiful puff, sighed with satisfaction, and added bitterly in his heart, at least until this guy is officially elected president, he should be safe in the Federation.
Looking at the Pabur Councillor who was shaking hands with the head of the [***] army on the light curtain, Shi Qinghai's heart was extremely amazed at the influence of the Tai family in the Federation, and chose the moment of the New Year, in the way of this breaking news event, so that Pabur appeared in front of the eyes of all the federal public, I have to say...... It's a way to maximize your benefits. But the key is that the Tai family must have this kind of control over the media, as well as the ability to judge the countless factions within the federal political axe, in order to catch everyone off guard by this news event.
If the citizens of the Federation can really escape the shadow of the civil war, they will remember for a long time that when everyone was celebrating the New Year, a distinguished federal councillor took great risks and secretly went to the mountains controlled by the [***] army to reach a settlement agreement with the other party. From this day on, it will be hard for people to forget the moment when the Pabul Councillor, dressed in a trench coat and with a calm expression, walked down the ramp of the transport plane.
"It's this year. Xu Le reminded Shi Qinghai that it was past twelve o'clock at this time, shook his head and said: "Although I also like Pabul Councillor, political matters are too far away from us, and I don't know if he can be successfully elected." ”
"Believe me, he's already president. Shi Qinghai smiled a little tiredly, thinking that if under such a tide of public opinion, Councilor Pabul could not grasp this opportunity, it could only mean that the upper echelons of the organization and the Tai family had looked away at the same time.
At the same time, he thought that the ordinary people of the federation had only seen this scene on the news today, but they did not know how many times the two sides of the incident had secretly negotiated and how many rounds of consultations they had conducted with each other before they could finally sign the agreement in order for this scene to happen on time for the New Year. Ordinary people don't know how many unknown insiders are hidden behind this seemingly legendary reconciliation journey of parliamentarians.
Shi Qinghai knows these insiders, because he is the party. He looked at Xu Le quietly, thinking of the conversation at the Double Moon Festival dance, and thinking that this good friend in front of him was afraid that he would never know the important role he played in this incident, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
Extinguishing the cigarette butt, Shi Qinghai raised his glass and said to Xu Le: "Respect for the peace of the Federation." ”
Xu Le raised his glass and responded with a smile: "To our future president." ”
Shi Qinghai drank all the spirits, and a strange smile appeared on his face: "Yes, respect...... We...... of the president. ”
......
......
The busy crew has dispersed, and the light curtain blocks connected by the optical fibers have been dismantled and ready to be transported. Tai Zhiyuan stood on the second floor, looking at the deserted hall below, but it seemed that he could still see the computer light screens that presented important information about the major forces of the Federation, and the staff who were responsible for formulating specific links and analyzing the reactions of all parties after the incident.
This is a villa on the outskirts of Linhai Prefecture, which is the property of the Tai family. During these dozens of days, the villa became a makeshift decision-making room, dedicated to handling negotiations with the S2[***] army. In the past few days, those light screens have been on, and those staff have been busy, walking like running.
The corners of Tai Zhiyuan's lips curled slightly, and he laughed.
After spending Cheng Renli, he finally had all the authority, and for the first time he really began to do a major event that could affect the entire Federation, under the close attention of Mrs. Tai, with the help of countless staff members in the entire family, and after spending many days of energy overdraft, he was finally satisfied to see that his work had a good result.
He had only read the news on the light curtain once, but he had seen it four minutes earlier than anyone else in the Federation, even His Excellency the President. Because the news had passed his censorship, it was transmitted to the press department of federal television.
Federal television is a national television station, and no business, a rich man, even the legendary Seven Families, has full control. But countless forces will try to poke their hands out on federal television. The Tai family, who has always been low-key and calm, is the most important news department for federal television and has the strongest influence.
Tai Zhiyuan held the railing with both hands, recalling the news scene in his mind, and was very satisfied with Mr. Pabul's performance in front of the camera, and he believed that in the near future, Pabul's campaign office would definitely choose that image as the main poster cover, plastered all over the streets and alleys of the Federation, and won him countless votes.
Thinking of this, the boy couldn't help but laugh, satisfied with his work these days. The negotiations with the [***] army are particularly difficult, because the other side has always refused to give in to the three most critical conditions put forward by the federal political axe, and if Tai Zhiyuan cannot persuade the other side to make concessions, then even if he reluctantly signs the intention of signing a settlement agreement, he is afraid that he will not be able to get a trace of approval in front of the president and the management committee.
The negotiations went on until the last minute, when the Pabul parliamentarians had secretly arrived in the four states around the mountains in the S2 region in the Tai family's private spaceship, the inconspicuous transport plane had been filled with fuel, and the old engines had begun to roar, but the two sides in charge of the negotiations still did not agree.
It is important to reach a settlement agreement, and the timing of the agreement is ...... Actually, it's more important. Both sides are well aware of what it means for Pabul to choose this time for the New Year, so the military has been delaying, which is inevitably not the idea of exchanging time for benefits.
In the end, it was the Pabul MP himself who spoke out on the transport plane, and if the [***] army still insisted, then he would rather risk becoming a political laughing stock after the matter was exposed, and go straight back to the capital by spaceship.
It was through this small episode that Tai Zhiyuan once again confirmed that his opinion of Pabul MP was accurate, and that this MP indeed possessed a sincerity and persistence rarely seen in federal politics - Tai Zhiyuan would love to see such a person become the president of the Federation.
"Young Master, we should go. Steward Jin walked behind him, quietly looked at his side, and smiled slightly, knowing very well what kind of satisfaction and exhaustion a young man would feel after completing this kind of political work for the first time.
"yes, I can finally relax. Tai Zhiyuan sighed: "What is my itinerary tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow, Miss Jian Shui'er's new song will be held in the University City Comprehensive Gymnasium. Steward Jin was silent for a moment and then said, "But according to intelligence information from different channels, I suggest that you do not participate, because there may be danger. ”
