Chapter 196: The Deepest Sea (1)
Volume 4: Chapter 196 of the Starlight Stream: The Deepest Sea (1)
There was silence in the Oval Office. The officials looked at President Pabur with complicated expressions, and no one dared to speak.
After a long silence, the president put the phone on the table, and the movement was very slow, and there was no sound when the phone came into contact with the table, only the fading green tendons on the back of his broad hand, showing his real anger at the moment.
"I once had a long conversation with Colonel Xu Le in the Treasury building, and before entering that alloy door, the Secret Service tried to stop it because they feared for my personal safety. ”
President Pabul suddenly uttered something that surprised everyone, his swarthy cheeks devoid of emotion, and his voice was unusually low in the Oval Office.
"At that time, I said that when Colonel Xu Le wanted to kill me, it meant that I really deserved to die. He rested his hands on the table, his broad shoulders as steady as usual, and a complicated smile on his face, which he didn't know whether to laugh at himself or mock, "Now that I think about it, this joke probably wasn't very funny. ”
Mr. President stretched out his right hand wearily and waved it, and the officials in the Oval Office understood and hastily concluded their briefings on this afternoon's military court attack. Leave quickly.
Brin, the director of the office of the official residence, pushed open the heavy retro door and walked in, he looked at the tired back of Mr. President with a complicated expression, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward and whispered: "Mr. President, you just got the general election poll, and your approval rating has increased by ...... percent"
Before he finished speaking, President Pabur stood up straight, waved his right arm vigorously, and his thick and charming voice in his usual speech instantly became extremely irritable at this moment: "Public opinion, public opinion, public opinion! What is the use of these things!"
Mr. President immediately reacted to his rare gaffe, and after a moment of silence, he patted Director Brin's shoulder, who had a shocked expression, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I'm in a bad mood today. ”
"It doesn't matter. ”
Director Brin smiled very reluctantly, followed the president's gaze to the cute pink phone on the table, he frowned, and said, "I will immediately notify the intelligence team to interrupt Miss's communication privileges." ”
"No, I don't. President Pabul was calm at this time, waved his hand tiredly, and said, "I believe Xu Le will call again." ”
......
......
According to some accounts, the commissioner should have been in contact with the official residence for a long time, but no one knows exactly what agreement was or was made between them. ”
In the quiet of the Liufeng Slope Clubhouse, Mr. Zion, the Deputy Speaker of the Federal Assembly, took a sip of precious red wine, gently stroked the gray hair on the top of his head, and spoke to the lady across the table with a reserved and very polite manner.
"Thank you for your hard work today. Mrs. Tai looked at the old man with a smile and said casually: "After Mr. Byron unfortunately left us, you have a lot of responsibilities to bear, and you should take care of your health. ”
Deputy Speaker Zion smiled meaningfully, knowing what Madame meant by hard work. He succeeded in diverting the attention of government agencies from the welcoming ceremony at the airport with just two phone calls, and in a sense, the military court attack, which is now in absolute secrecy, has a deep connection with him.
The old man didn't know what kind of deal or tacit understanding there was between Madame Tai and the feared Mr. Colonel, and in fact he wasn't prepared to ask, every big man had his own secrets, especially when it came to such a big thing. However, the lady's seemingly casual words made the temperature of his heart rise slightly, and after a long silence, he raised his head and said calmly: "But it is obvious that Mr. President does not seem to want to settle this matter before the election." ”
According to the relevant provisions of the Federal Charter, the President of the Federal Government shall be replaced by the Vice-President in the event of an unexpected death or other inability to perform his duties during his term of office, and in the event of such a case, the Vice-President of the Governing Council.
It has been a long time since Vice President Byron died under the gun of Shi Qinghai, and the major federal forces have been urging President Pabul to complete the replacement process as soon as possible, and Vice President Zion will become the vice president of the Federation, but the official residence has always claimed that this process has been postponed until after the general election due to the war and the approaching general election.
Mrs. Tai didn't seem to have thought of the senior and calculating politician across the table. At this moment, he would choose such a direct way of dialogue, and he was slightly stunned, and then looked at the corner of a secluded dining table somewhere downstairs in the clubhouse with a smile, and said something that seemed completely unrelated.
"The other day, Colonel Xu Le had a dinner at that table. Madame looked at the place calmly, and said, "There are many people in the Federation who want him to serve a sumptuous dinner. ”
Deputy Speaker Zion calmly tasted the red wine in the glass, but his mood was not as calm as it seemed, he understood what Madame meant by this word, but he thought of that possibility, thinking that his feet might step into the white mansion, the mellow red wine seemed to become countless times stronger in an instant, and it was burning after entering his throat.
"In the past few years, when I tried to educate the little guy about some frustration, I was greatly frustrated, and that was because he used to have two real peaks behind him, the old man and the president. ”
Mrs. Tai said: "Now that the old man is gone, and Mr. President has become his worst enemy, I am curious about what kind of turmoil he can toss in such a difficult situation, but the feedback in recent days seems to show that his ability and determination to toss have exceeded my imagination." ”
Deputy Speaker Zion rubbed a handful of gray hair on his forehead again, tasted the burning sensation of precious red wine between his lips and tongue like spirits, let out a slight sigh of satisfaction, smiled and thought silently, the bigger the storm, the better.
......
......
The edge of the tub with metal legs is carved with porcelain flowers, which is not pleasant to the touch, but it looks very luxurious, and the water in the bathtub is extremely hot and steaming.
Xu Le held a glass of red wine in his right hand. Most of his body was immersed in water, his skin did not show the slightest trace of redness, all the tiredness quickly leaked out along the dilated pores, he took a sip of red wine, his body sank into the water a little more, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of satisfaction.
The bathroom door was tightly closed, keeping out the ringing of the office phone and the sound of automatic printing, but the windows of the front floor were open, and the cool autumn breeze poured in from the Charter Square, and the hot vapor filled everywhere, blurring the view everywhere.
Sometimes, ambiguity is a complete synonym for relaxation.
Xu Le's keen eyes can easily penetrate the mist, looking at the scenery of the square outside the window, the wound on his leg is healing rapidly, the water temperature is intoxicating, the glass of red wine held in his right hand hanging by the bathtub is also very intoxicating, and the scenery on the square is also intoxicating.
Xu Le squinted his eyes, penetrating layers of hot mist, looking at the square shrouded in the night, looking at the statue of the antique bronze five-person team, and looking at the old man who was still sitting in the cockpit of the M37 mecha after his death farther away. Picking up the red wine glass, he said to himself softly: "Old man, I'm sorry I didn't do what I promised you, I really like to be a cleaner." ”
Then his body and mind were completely relaxed, and he fell asleep in the bathtub.
......
......
"I'm not satisfied with your work during this time!"
Commissar Jin Qiude paced quickly at the table, as if to calm his anger with these movements, he suddenly stood still, stretched out his fingers and reprimanded in a deep voice: "It is a very rare trust for the organization to entrust you with such an important work and let you work in this building full of decay. And what have you done? I order you to complete the handover of the work of the four sections in the shortest possible time, and then go back to the mountains to report on your work. ”
The old man's fingers were about to hit the pair of black-rimmed glasses, and he looked particularly strong and rude, as the second big man in the Qinglong Mountain rebel army, it seemed natural to treat a subordinate.
However, to the surprise of the old man and the warriors who came from Qinglong Mountain with him, the owner of the black-rimmed glasses not only did not immediately review and apologize, but even his expression was still so calm.
Zhang Xiaomeng slowly stretched out his right index finger, pushed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose upward, looked at the old man and said calmly: "Comrade Commissioner, I want to know the reason. ”
Jin Qiude clearly felt that she was standing in front of her, there was a kind of peace from the depths of his heart, the old man knew that only people who were really strong enough in their hearts could show absolute peace, and there was some alarm in his heart, and he said slowly in a deep voice: "Do you want me to recount the death process of that little fish carefully?"
The old man's voice was extremely cold, his body had exuded a certain terrifying smell from the inside out, in Qinglong Mountain, countless people hated him in secret, but no one dared to show this emotion in person, because ruthlessness is the most powerful weapon to deter people's hearts in many cases.
"This is an internal operation of the Four Sections, and I don't think there's anything to explain to you. Zhang Xiaomeng said calmly, since she already knew the purpose of the committee, she even omitted the honorific title.
The people in the room fell into absolute shock, including the female staff member with a bewitching figure, everyone looked at Zhang Xiaomeng in disbelief, not knowing how she dared to talk to the committee member in such a tone.
The emotion in the eye sockets of Member Jin Qiude looked very heavy, he stared at the beautiful face close at hand, his voice was thin like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, and said very slowly: "The stupid people in the federation call you the leaf of Qinglong Mountain, do you think that with this beautiful face, you can do whatever you want, don't forget that it is the organization that cultivated you, and you are working under my direct leadership." ”
"Comrade Commissioner, I would like to correct you a little. I work directly for the organization. After Zhang Xiaomeng was silent for a moment, she calmly looked directly into the old man's eyes and said with a smile: "This is my sea, unless the committee passes a resolution, it is impossible for anyone to snatch my sea." ”
