Indescribable cyberpunk - #640 - Chapter 624 Compromise

“Thousand Sail City needs help!”

In the office, which is dominated by blue and white, the first words of the head of the security department in military uniform set the theme of the conversation.

His face was far less peaceful and calm than the blue and white tones. If it had to be combined with these two colors, it would only show the gloominess within it.

“Your Excellency Bulwer, you are the Minister of Security of Thousand Sails City and a powerful figure who controls one-third of Thousand Sails City’s armed forces. Someone else should have told you this, right?”

Sitting on the sofa opposite the desk was a tall middle-aged woman, her upper body leaning on the sofa, holding a woman’s cigarette between the slender knuckles of her left hand, tasting it briefly.

Even when facing the figure standing at the top of Thousand Sail City, she still acted calmly.

As the branch president of the Archaeological Association in Qianfan City, and given the status of the Archaeological Association in the current environment, she does have the capital to do this.

“I have asked Ms. Margaret to mobilize the garrison troops stationed in the satellite city to return to defense, but according to the existing intelligence analysis, the Ouroboros organization is different from any terrorist organization we have encountered in the past. They have some special Strength, the effect that ordinary armed forces can have has yet to be verified. Compared with the waves of monsters composed of irrational mutants, these guys are obviously more weird. We need experts like you to step in and provide more Many suggestions.”

Ignoring the sarcasm in the other person’s words, Bulwer continued his speech, noticed the disdainful curve at the corner of the other person’s mouth, and continued,

“I know, Ms. Virginia, we may not have been happy with each other in the past, but the funds and various assistance provided by Thousand Sail City to the Archaeological Association are facts that are obvious to all. I hope that you can fulfill your obligations during the current crisis. The original agreement.”

“Agreement? That’s just a document that makes everyone look good. There is no need for any outsiders to dictate matters in Thousand Sail City!”

Virginia imitated someone’s tone of voice vividly, and while speaking, Bulwer’s expression on the opposite side became more and more embarrassing.

Yes, that’s what he said.

It was because of his words that the Archaeological Association, which was supposed to be responsible for dealing with cults, became invisible amid the recent strange events in Thousand Sail City.

In fact, this cannot be entirely blamed on Bulwer. After all, although he is the nominal supreme commander of Thousand Sails City’s armed organization, he has a parliament composed of major financial groups above his head. He is only the person responsible on the surface. To put it harshly, he is the security captain of the capitalist oligarchs.

In the early stages of the epidemic, the Archaeological Association issued a warning to the Qianfan City government, requesting to intervene in the incident and assist in the investigation.

It stands to reason that this is an extremely normal request. The Archaeological Association also does this in other super cities, just like the Glachi incident Zhu Jue experienced in Dawn City. At that time, the federal government handed over the incident to the They contacted the Archaeological Association and cooperated in all aspects, and the latter did not disappoint them.

However, somehow, this time, the order conveyed to Bulwer by the Thousand Sails City Council after internal discussions was to absolutely prohibit the Archaeological Association from intervening in Thousand Sails City affairs.

“Absolutely prohibited”, such harsh words made Bulwer can only say “YES, SIR!”.

Of course, obeying the orders of superiors is one thing. When he said those words, Bulwer did not mean to look down upon the Archaeological Association.

In his opinion, Thousand Sail City is different from the federal government. As the head of Thousand Sail City’s security department, he has the confidence to have well-trained combat troops and various high-tech weapons under his command.

Of course, if something goes wrong in Thousand Sail City, they have to deal with it. What if it’s left to outsiders?

Who could have imagined that as time goes by, weird events happen one after another, and the contaminated areas and bone trees that appear in the underlying communities continue to challenge his three views.

In fact, when there was a power outage in the lower-level community and the report of heavy casualties among the security department’s combat troops was placed on his desk, Bulwer was already shaken. When the contaminated area and the bone tree appeared, he also tried to shamelessly ask the top management for archaeological research. Association request for help.

But what he never expected was that the reply given by the parliament still did not change at all, and even stated that if he felt that he was not good enough, he could submit his resignation at any time, and someone more capable would naturally take his place.

Can a man say that he is not good enough?

Well, now Bulwer has no choice but to bite the bullet.

However, Bulwer also kept an eye on it. It was obviously impossible for the Parliament to reject the intervention of the Archaeological Association just because of the reasons mentioned before. As the security captain, of course he had to care about the thoughts of those big shots.

So Bulwer began to realize whether there was an irreconcilable conflict between the Parliament and the Archaeological Association, and privately asked a few of his friends to check it out, and it was indeed the case!

The cause of the matter was that Qianfancheng wanted to use the funding it had provided to the Archaeological Association over the years to forcefully participate in the archaeological exploration conducted by the Archaeological Association near Tokyo, which sank a few years ago. As a result, the top management of the Archaeological Association blocked it without saying a word.

You can guess what happened next. The Qianfan City government threatened the Archaeological Association to submit by cutting off funding and technical support. However, the latter is no longer the small association it was. In addition, the archaeological exploration near the sunken Tokyo seems to be involved in something. It was something so important that the Archaeological Association actually put on a show of wanting to break up with Qianfan City.

So even if the two sides were at loggerheads, no one would back down.

Under such a premise, if Qianfan City asks for help from the Archaeological Association because of what happened in the lower-class communities, it will be equivalent to rehearsing the “Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms” with a slap in the face.

Being embarrassed is a trivial matter. After all, people who want to lose face cannot become big capitalists. The key is that this compromise means that Qianfan City has to give up its right to participate in the archaeological exploration of Tokyo.

As for the sudden compromise now, I heard that the reason is because the archaeological exploration in Tokyo seems to have encountered a big problem. The Archaeological Association has organized several archaeological teams, and its attitude is somewhat relaxed.

Seeing the opportunity, the senior members of the parliament quickly lowered their profile and not only promised to provide all research equipment for free, but were also willing to support a group of elites to assist in research for free.

On the one hand, they are doing this to retreat in order to show their sincerity to the Archaeological Association. On the other hand, it is also because there have been too many nonsense things in Qianfan City recently. If the Archaeological Association continues to refuse to give in, they may not be able to continue to support them. Go down.

So today’s meeting came about.

Bulwer felt embarrassed, and Virginia was irritated because of the staged failure of Tokyo’s archaeological exploration.

The outcome of this meeting may have already been determined.

I got together with some old friends today and drank some wine, but that’s all for now.

I feel dizzy, but men have to protect themselves too.
