Rise of the Wasteland

Chapter 1822: The Unyielding King

Also in Washington, D.C., various forces participating in the special meeting of the North American Security Summit gathered again. It's just that this party avoided the Aurora Legion and the unpleasant Victor Hugo.

Today, the relationship between the Aurora Legion and various forces in North America is -- mutual contradictions and interdependence.

The Legion needs the North American market, various high-tech items left over from the end of the world, talent and technology; and North America also needs the agricultural and mineral product markets provided by the Legion, and also needs the goods provided by the other party to meet the needs of all social classes.

For more than half a year, this mutually beneficial commercial demand brought huge benefits to both parties, but also exposed many problems.

This special meeting is actually to solve the detailed work of logistics, tax rates, customs and other parties in business and trade. But as soon as Uncle Zhou came on stage, he stabbed the hornet's nest.

The result is…….

"You Ba'athists literally have shit in your head."

"We are now facing a serious military threat from the Aurora Legion, but is any of you willing to help?"

"You need help, can you mention it?"

"If the Aurora Legion cuts off the trade, will you aid us? You are all controlled by Victor Hugo, so don't worry about our affairs."

"Since facing the threat of the Aurora Legion, you Baath Party are still so desperately attacking our Enclave? You traitors."

"The current Enclave is disgustingly rotten, you should give up the territory to our Baath Party."

As soon as the secret meeting started, the leaders and special envoys of various forces quarreled. Everyone was very reckless, and they slapped the table and cursed at every turn. Angie, who was personally responsible for taking notes at the venue, could only sigh. She really couldn't write down the current situation.

The party room was noisy and chaotic. Everyone was about to fight because of various conflicts. A heavy cough sounded from the upper part of the room. Hearing the coughing sound, the envoys of all the bigwigs who were making a fuss turned their heads together. After a while, they all quieted down and sat down on the chairs again obediently.

David Lawrence stood at the top of the room, his tall body was outstanding among all the bigwigs present at the meeting. He had a serious face, cold eyes, and only coughed once, showing no sign of anger.

"Have you had enough noise?" David Lawrence turned his head to look at the people present at the meeting. The people who made eye contact with him either laughed, pursed their lips, or simply had erratic eyes, and they didn't dare to look at each other. "Continue if you haven't quarreled enough, but I won't accompany you."

David Lawrence turned around slowly, and walked out of the meeting room. Anji, who was taking notes, did not expect her father to leave, so she could only announce a temporary adjournment, and hurriedly chased after her father.

"Dad,..." Angie called after catching up.

David Lawrence didn't stop, but instead asked, "Angie, do you think I've failed as a leader?"

"Of course not!" Angie immediately denied, "I didn't understand many of your decisions, father, but now that I manage Washington, D.C., I quickly understand that the superior cannot do whatever he wants.

Everyone has different ideas, different interests, and different choices. Ruling millions of people is not something that can be done by patting the head. So now I know that father, you are also in a difficult situation. "

"Hahaha..." David Lawrence smiled, and he looked back at his daughter. The young Anji is as beautiful as her mother, and half a year of practical work has given her a bit of vigor after experience.

"Angie, if you were a boy, how great would it be? I can fight boldly and confidently, and leave everything I have obtained to you." David Lawrence reached out and patted his daughter's head lovingly.

Angie was not convinced, and said angrily, "I can do better than boys."

"Can you do better than Victor?" David Lawrence asked back.

"This..." Angie was dumbfounded. Half a year of practice made her feel that she would not lose to anyone, but if she had to compare with Victor Hugo, she really couldn't compare.

David Lawrence sighed again: "Your mother came back from Seattle half a year ago,

Just said to me, 'We'd better join forces with Victor, because we can't beat each other, and she told me to marry you to that bastard. '

I got angry on the spot and had a big fight with your mother, so your mother hid in a monastery and refused to see me again. But when I calmed down afterwards, I always felt that your mother seemed to have something that she didn't fully say.

So I sent someone to investigate all the meetings between your mother and Victor in Seattle, and my doubts only increased. For example, the Freemasonry lost four aircraft carriers and four supply ships. I conclude that Victor did it. "

Angie was shocked, "Didn't the Masonic investigation say it was done by the Baath Party? It's just that the Baath Party didn't admit it."

"No, no, no, the Ba'ath Party doesn't have that ability. Victor must have done it. Your mother once said that she 'saw Victor take the aircraft carrier away with her own eyes'. I asked what happened? She refused Said, but has been praying for God's forgiveness, as if afraid of revealing some secret."

Anji was horrified and didn't know how to imagine this.

"I can't understand it, but it must be so." David Lawrence shrugged and smiled, and asked again: "Angie, if I fight with Victor, which side are you on?"

"Of course I'm on your side, father." Anji said without hesitation.

But David Lawrence smiled slyly, "Angie, you are wrong. You should side with Victor."

"what……?"

"I believe Victor won't hurt you. If I beat Victor, I can bring you back. If Victor beats me, he won't abandon you. This is how a family survives, bet It can’t all be in one place.”

David Lawrence said this with a bit of arrogance and a bit of determination. He pointed to the meeting room that he had just walked out of, and said in a low voice, "Don't look at those bastards who are arguing so fiercely, in fact, they can all be bribed.

I've been fighting those bastards for over three years, and I know them all too well, and it's their greed that got me where I am today. And as long as the price is high enough, those guys won't care about surrendering to a Chinese, because those guys are a bunch of weak bones.

The current Victor is no longer the poor guy who wandered to the Caribbean back then. His fist is strong enough, and he can afford the price. Whatever he wants to do can definitely be done. I believe he has the ability.

Victor can buy anyone, but he can't buy me. I am the real savior of America, and I should be the master of this land. If the United States really has a throne, I should be the one to ascend the throne, so I will never give in, I will fight to the end. "

Angie was completely dumbfounded. She shook her head and said, "Dad, I don't understand what you said. What do you want me to do?"

"I want to marry you to Victor Hugo, at least that bastard is worthy of you. Isn't he going to be the emperor? Then the queen must be the best of you." David Lawrence suddenly looked gentle, "I Your daughter can't be the king of the world, but she should be the queen of the world."

"But you just said..."

"I am me, I am David Lawrence, David Lawrence who will never give in. I will not give in to that bastard. I will challenge that boy. I have been waiting for a duel with him for a long time. Already!"
