When Anji heard that his father wanted to marry him to Victor Hugo, Anji felt neither sad nor happy, so he accepted the arrangement calmly. As if this should have happened long ago and there shouldn't be any surprises.
As the "Her Royal Highness" of the New York Brotherhood, Angie has unimaginable authority and status. Especially in the last days, she is under one person and above ten thousand people. As long as she wants, thousands of people will rack their brains to serve her.
If it was a peaceful time, Angie might still fall in love with an ordinary man who is romantic and affectionate, who cares about his family and his wife. But now is the end of the world, if you find a wimp who can only make people happy, I'm afraid she will become a widow the next day.
Standing above all living beings, Anji's standard of mate selection is naturally extremely high. If there is no Victor Hugo, she should marry the second generation of an ally's family. But now that there is Victor Hugo, she has long faintly understood that she has no other choice.
Victor Hugo is an excellent high-ranking person, and he can undoubtedly become a history-making emperor, but he is not a suitable husband. In fact, just looking at his father, Anji knew that he might become a mascot like his mother in the future.
"Victor, Victor, I'm not willing to be your mascot." Angie returned to her office near the Potomac River in Washington, DC. From her office window, she could see the busy port leading directly to the Atlantic Ocean.
Washington, D.C. was an important port more than 200 years ago, and now it once again shoulders the task of transporting a lot of goods - goods from the east coast of North America are loaded here, and goods from Mexico are unloaded here.
Compared with New York, where the class is already relatively stable, Angie completely copied Zhou Qingfeng's many policies in Mexico in Washington, D.C. For example, 'gun ban', 'centralization of power', 'efficient public services', 'talent-based employment attitude', 'ambition to break all social shackles'.
The development of commerce has driven a large number of service industries such as logistics, warehousing, finance, security, retail and so on. Washington, D.C. was completely wiped out by nuclear bombs, but more than 300,000 people were regrouped in half a year.
Angie has acquired huge financial and human resources, as well as a huge personal reputation through efficient management. She even has the money to form a small but well-equipped navy and army, and the momentum of development is extremely strong.
"If people can live a peaceful life like this, how wonderful would everything be?" Thinking that there can only be one of the two most important men around her, Angie kept sighing and distressed.
Angie, who was in deep thought, was awakened by Bang Bang Bang's knock on the door. After shouting "Please come in", her teacher Chandra appeared in the office with a strange expression holding a briefing.
"What's wrong?" Angie asked.
Chandra is currently Angie's political and economic advisor, and the two men cooperate very well. Angie has to deal with a lot of documents every day, and Chandra will single out the important parts for Angie to pay attention to.
"Victor Hugo is really not to be underestimated. He has started to seize more power." Chandra put a "unified notice" on Angie's desktop, "A real politician is so grand, and all schemes are swayed." On the bright side, you can't deal with it even if you see it through."
The first half of the "Unified Announcement" was unremarkable, but seeing Zhou Qingfeng's last doggerel, Anji couldn't help but burst out laughing. The translator changed the short Chinese poem into English, but the irony remained.
"Victor wants others to surrender immediately?" Angie laughed twice, looking up and hoping that his teacher would follow suit.
But Chandra shook his head seriously, "This is a simple but brilliant psychological tactic, and we must pay attention to it. Before the Enclave was not split, it was strong enough to crush the Aurora Legion. But the Enclave not only split but also fell into internal friction. Now it's Aurora's turn The Legion has crushed the Ba'ath and the Enclave."
"Are you worried that the Aurora Legion can really swallow the Baath Party?" Angie also restrained his smile.
If Victor Hugo succeeds in taking over the territory of the Baath Party that owns Texas and California, then really no one can stop him from becoming the emperor of the United States.
Angie expected her question to be answered in the negative. But Chandra, who specializes in politics and economics, has long held his breath. He cursed loudly: "This is not a worry, but a fact that is about to happen. Because Osborne, the leader of the Baath Party, is a pig at all.
This pig is just a biochemist, but he wants to cross over to engage in politics, and he has also gained a lot of prestige and power through some enhanced drugs with unknown effects.
And the disaster happened because a layman did what an expert did, and the tragedy happened. I really don't know who came up with the idea to let Osborne publicly announce the election of Victor Hugo? This is the same as when Ge Tutu naively destroyed Mao Xiong, it is really speechless. "
Angie immediately interjected and said, "Osborn should be trying to gain breathing time. His next step is to swallow the Enclave whole and deal with the Aurora Legion later. This shouldn't be a mistake, right?"
Chandra was even more annoyed, "This isn't a mistake, what is a mistake? Osborne didn't discuss with any other forces, and suddenly issued an election declaration to make Victor Hugo the emperor.
I was very worried when I heard the news, but I was lucky that it was just a joke that no one would take seriously. Because the difficulty of this task is not ordinary, people with normal brains will not act easily.
It turned out that Victor Hugo was obviously not a normal person, and he actually took it seriously. And if you look at his means, all of us here are inferior to him in terms of scheming.
Victor Hugo publicly recognized this manifesto, and forced the Baath Party, the Enclave and the Mormon Church to swallow the bitter fruit on the spot. And now it is following a 'unified announcement' to build momentum. And we can't blame him yet, because that idiot Osborne did it himself. "
Angie sighed and was a little confused when she heard it. She still didn't realize the seriousness of it, and asked, "Victor doesn't swallow North American so easily."
"It's not easy to swallow North America, but how about swallowing the Baath Party?" Chandra also asked.
Angie also shook her head, "I don't think it's an easy thing either."
But Chandra slapped his thigh and shouted: "On the contrary, if Osborn resists desperately, the Aurora Legion will naturally not be easy to win. But Osborn is a political idiot, and the pig himself made a declaration to make Victor emperor , what should his subordinates think?
The 'Unified Announcement' issued by Victor is a frank strategy, and it is more effective than a hundred fierce fights.
I'd bet the Ba'ath would disintegrate even faster than the Enclave. It's all Osborne's fault, I just can't figure out how this guy is so stupid? And Victor Hugo was too smart, he wouldn't let go of any chance. "
If Osborn were to use all his strength to fight the Aurora Legion, Osborn naturally refused. So Osborn wisely chose an easy way to delay the time, and it turned out...
Seeing that his teacher was extremely annoyed and annoyed, Angie also vaguely grasped how viciously Victor Hugo issued the 'Unified Announcement'. She couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Then what should we do?"
"What else can I do? I can only watch. Instead of worrying about the Ba'ath Party, it's better to worry about the Enclave. The Ba'ath Party is really hopeless."
Chandra was angry for a long time, and suddenly asked to himself: "Even Victor himself took this as a joke at first, who wrote the letter to wake him up? This person is really naive, this letter A letter is worth more than tens of millions of troops to Victor, but it made us all miserable."
Anji was stunned when she heard the words, and it took a while to say weakly: "It's my mother. She..., she actually wants to end the war as soon as possible."
"What?" Chandra thought he had heard it wrong. After a while, he could only cover his forehead with one hand, and turned his head away in pain, "God, even Mrs. Lawrence is helping. Could it be that Victor Hugo really wants to Can't be the emperor of Holy America?"
