Zhou Lin - Chapter 210 Attending the Banquet (Part 1)
2219, October 31, evening.
Crystal County, Christo City, Tea Banquet headquarters.
It’s the same bright conference room, and the same round, stone conference table.
Today, Muhammad (Longjing) took his seat at the main seat early, but most of the other seats were empty.
In the past few months, due to the intensity of the war, many members of the tea party, like Yevgeny (Pekko Silver Needle), have been accidentally killed in certain operations; in addition, in order to prepare for the upcoming meeting in Atlantic City tomorrow At that resistance organization meeting, several more members of the tea party led members from the four major organizations: FCPS, EAS, supervisors and EF to Star County.
As a result, there are only seven or eight tea party members staying at the Crystal County headquarters, including Muhammad himself.
However, even if there are only two or three people left, the meeting will still be held…
Today, there are roughly two types of people left at the top of the federal government: those who have not done too many bad things, so they are already colluding with rebel organizations to find a way out; The hands are full of blood debts and crimes. Once the Federation collapses, there will be absolutely no way to survive whether it falls into the hands of the rebels or the common people.
These two types of people are naturally divided into doves and hawks.
The former advocates stopping the war and starting negotiations with the bottom line of retaining the federal autonomy in Europe. Of course, even they themselves know that this rhetoric is wishful thinking, and it is impossible for the rebels to agree to it; the reason why they hold this view is just to stand in good line politically, so that they can survive after defeat. You can suffer less.
The latter will naturally resist to the end; these people account for more than 80%… For them, they can either continue to dominate as the ruling class, or they will be eaten alive and never recover. There is no middle value and no roundabout way. There is no space, and there is no so-called escape route.
Such an internal environment, combined with external pressure from the battlefield, made the original political structure of the federation useless.
The power of the Ten Auxiliaries of the Cabinet has been completely lost in the past few months, and the situation and position of most civilian officials have become very delicate. The power of the military and various special combat units has expanded rapidly during the war.
Generally speaking, this kind of power tilt is not a good thing, but there are times…
In peaceful times, what people need is a perfect system, because maintaining social stability requires the efforts of countless people from all aspects, and all those who share power within the system need to be supervised by the system itself; you cannot pin your hopes on it. When it comes to human governance – that is testing human nature and that is deceiving oneself and others.
But in war years, what people need are heroes, outstanding people who can stand up and break those useless rules and lead people to victory.
Therefore, this change of power in the Federation can be regarded as inevitable.
The final result is that Tea Banquet has to surface as a coordinator to command all executive agencies with military capabilities and superpowers to deal with various situations during war.
As a result, Longjing, namely Muhammad, became the person with the highest actual power in the entire federation during this period. Even the guard officers, most of them obeyed his command.
This is why the Federation can at least defend half of Europe…
…………
Everyone is here, right? Muhammad said after the eighth person sat down.
Yes. Mao Feng sitting next to him responded immediately.
Today, Mao Feng’s public position is that of Muhammad’s personal assistant and bodyguard. The days of lurking as a low-level soldier like before are long gone.
Well… Muhammad nodded, Then let’s get started. Today’s topic is…
scold–
Before he could finish his opening remarks, he was interrupted by the opening of the electronic door of the conference room.
At this moment, the eight people around the round table turned their heads and looked at the door.
In less than five seconds, everyone’s expressions changed because they all recognized the two people at the door: one was Zi Lin, the current head of the Reverse Cross, and the other was actually the first-generation president of the Federation and the Tea Banquet ” founder, Krauser Wittstock.
Hmph… After taking a breath, Muhammad put away his surprised expression and sneered, What a rare guest.
He didn’t ask how the other party found or got here, because he knew those questions were unimportant at the moment.
After saying hello, Muhammad immediately changed the topic, looked at Zi Lin and said: It’s just… I don’t understand a little bit. He paused and glanced at Krauze, Zilin, you If you want to come, you will come. Why bring a clone here? Heh… just to scare us?
When he said this, the other seven people around the round table showed signs of realization. It seemed that the explanation of clone had indeed convinced them and made them calm down again.
K, Long, man… Krauser repeated these three words one by one, and at the same time, slowly walked around the table towards Muhammad.
As he approached, Mao Feng stood up and stood in front of him.
I advise you not to seek death. Mao Feng glared at the approaching Krause and threatened him.
Young man, please sit down first. Krauser was not angry. Not only was he not angry, he patted the other party’s shoulder very gently and said this in the tone of an elderly person.
The strange thing is that Mao Feng actually sat down…
When he sat down, his face was pale and cold sweat broke out.
Others didn’t realize what was going on for a while. Only the person involved knew clearly: when Krauser took pictures of Mao Feng, he showed a little bit of his energy level, and just this tip of the iceberg had already defeated Mao Feng. Feng’s past knowledge of things like ability user levels and energy.
Young people, you must know how to be humble and reverent, and understand that there are mountains beyond the mountains. When Krauser said this, he still put his hand gently on Mao Feng’s shoulders and said in an instructive tone, Don’t worry about yourself. Ordinary people are a little stronger, just stand up… and speak loudly… He paused for half a second, and then continued, You know, I have seen several people with your level of abilities killed by one move. , and some who were shot in the head… Keep a low profile from now on, be a good person, and you will be able to develop a bit in the future.
At this point, Krauser gently took his hand away from Mao Feng’s shoulder.
The moment his hand left his shoulder, Mao Feng suddenly began to gasp for breath like a drowning man putting his head out of the water.
Several changes in just one minute made everyone sitting at the table shaken more strongly than before, because they all understood that clones should not be able to copy the superpowers of the original body, even if they It doesn’t matter if the cloned body is a mutant, but the Krauser in front of him undoubtedly used some kind of ability on Mao Feng just now, and made Mao Feng, a ferocious master, so scared that he didn’t even dare to stand up again. .
As for you… Two seconds later, Krauser came to Muhammad’s side, looked at the latter with a condescending, cold look with a hint of disgust, and said something that the other man would never forget, In Before I have further communication with you… As he spoke, he glanced down at the main seat of the tea banquet occupied by Muhammad, …please get out of my seat first.
