Chapter 584 Compromise and Deal

Once "Morning Star Foundry" gets the control of "Dilal", "Venus Star Pharmaceutical" will completely lose the right to speak, and the Star Alliance government will also lack an important channel to intervene in the affairs of "Morning Star Foundry". Fang's suppression, or the monitoring of "Morning Star Casting" will be severely weakened. ⊙ small,

You must know that he is not like "Iga Industry" and "Ward Heavy Industries" and other military enterprises. Although they have a high degree of freedom, they are difficult to pose a threat to the country. The development potential of "Morning Star Casting" is absolutely immeasurable. With Captain Tang's current ability, he can kill "Mubarak" in one fell swoop. Given time, one can imagine how far he will grow.

Against this background, large and small groups with different opinions in the parliament began to argue with each other and shirk each other, each with their own rhetoric and concerns.

This kind of debate continued until SNS TV released the video data of the fall of "Mubarak".

In fact, the reconnaissance ship of the Covenant Navy has sent the latest image of "Mubarak" two days ago, confirming that the Eye Army has been completely wiped out. In the past half a month, the void outside the high-altitude orbit of "Arumega" is still like a grave. Just like the battlefield, all kinds of wreckages of warships quietly float in the dark space, quietly telling the story of the great war.

It is true that such a siege battle is nothing in the history of human star wars. The several major battles fought by the Charles Federation, the Dolanx Republic, the Sulu Empire, and the Monya Empire in the Gampna sector were also very tragic, not to mention Talk about the defense of Hierenbel against the Jupiter Expeditionary Army more than 60 years ago.

There are many more massive and hotter wars than the "Mubarak" siege battle. The key is that there are very few battles like this that almost wiped out nearly 4,000 warships of an entire army, unless there is a mental calculation or unintentional, taking advantage of the right time and place , Only by laying a net of heaven and earth can it be achieved. And Captain Tang's troops are attacking the city. The Evil Night Legion is the defender of the city. Whether it is the right time and place, or the net of heaven and earth, Harrington Harris should have the conditions.

However, under such circumstances, Captain Tang's biological fleet slaughtered the Eye Army, which was simply appalling.

than those politicians. Generals like David Conan know best how many troops are needed to achieve such a level, and it is impossible to achieve such a crushing effect with less than 8 thousand-class conventional fleets.

The military strength of "Morning Star Casting" has far exceeded the estimates of the Star Alliance government. Once the "Mubarak" incident is known to the domestic people, Tang Fang will completely grow from a man of influence to a legend --- a The people of the Star Alliance watched with their own eyes the shining star that grew up step by step.

His "closeness to the people", his "passionate blood", his "kindness", his "chivalry"... These have won him many hearts. Just like last time, people can gather and march because the government persecuted him. If the information that "Mubarak" was captured by Tang Fang is exposed, as long as he releases the evidence of the government's collusion with Harrington Harris and the Pirate Alliance,

The angry people dared to attack the Reinhardt Palace and beat Adam Oliver and those members of Congress into pigs.

Therefore, even though it knew that the release of the video would have a huge positive effect on the upcoming war, the government did not dare to release it until Captain Tang was dealt with.

They didn't dare to announce it, but Captain Tang didn't care that much. I don't know what method he used. Those things that the government doesn't want to see are spreading on the Internet like an unstoppable plague. Infiltrated every corner of the Star Alliance.

Now, everyone knows that Captain Tang used his own strength to avenge his hatred, and pulled out the nail that Zaire Abdul had inserted in the chest of the Star Alliance, "Mubarak", to pave the way for the upcoming foreign war. A good start.

While the people of the Star Alliance celebrated this victory in their own ways, the Star Alliance Congress was having a heated debate.

Including the 24-seat executive member of Congress, David? Conan. Military generals like Luke Stillberg, Bill Bohm and Ruan Tingwen, the chairman of "Venus Pharmaceutical", and several staff members of Adam Smith were also in the auditorium.

Tang Fang's act of announcing the destruction of the Evil Night Legion is no different from an ultimatum. The Star Alliance government must come up with a solution tonight.

Bilbohm's face was more lined and deeper than it had been in a few months. Even the voice became weak, like an old man dying of illness.

For more than a month, the stock price of "Venus Pharmaceutical" has skyrocketed, and his net worth has also been rising steadily, and he has accumulated a large amount of wealth in a short period of time.

But instead of bringing him joy, it felt like a mountain was on his shoulders.

Because he understands a truth, the higher you climb, the harder you fall. Today's prosperity of "Venus Pharmaceutical" is just a false prosperity, just like the ubiquitous epiphyllum in midsummer, which only appears for a short time and then withers.

He knows better than anyone else that "Venus Pharmaceuticals" is successful and "Morning Star Foundry" is also "Morning Star Foundry". When Tang Fang and Terry Ferdinand chose the opposite path to Byron, he thought his own The choice is very objective, much more rational than Byron, but...it turns out that he was very wrong.

In his eyes, Terry Ferdinand represents the Republican Party, and the Republican Party represents half of the Star Alliance. There is no doubt that such a backstage is taller and thicker than mountains. However, at this moment, he is facing the end of being abandoned by the backstage.

Because Captain Tang played a beautiful scumbag and successfully disgusted all those who plotted against him. The government was very helpless, the Republican Party was very helpless, Terry Ferdinand was very helpless, and he was even more helpless.

"You can't do this. I don't agree, and I firmly disagree with selling 'Dilal' to him."

Terry Ferdinand sat expressionless in the standing member's seat, looking at the holographic projection equipment below Billboom hissing and roaring like a terminally ill beast. He didn't show any guilt or sadness. On the contrary, his eyes were calm, as if it was in a TV set. A soap opera, nothing to do with him, nothing to do with his life, nothing to do with his life.

He is still wearing the white silk robe, which is very eye-catching in the crowd of suits and ties, but no one will attack him for this, not only because he is one of the 24 standing members of the Star Alliance Council, but also because he is the leader of the entire hall. The oldest member of parliament, once held the position of speaker, and his physical condition has been bad in recent years, out of respect and concern, no one will question his unique dress.

Tomlinson Dale sits just two feet from Terry Ferdinand. Glancing at his slightly trembling hands tucked into his sleeves, he looked at Bill Bohm and said, "We won't treat you badly."

Bill Bohm thought for a while and said, "I'm not reconciled."

Once the government announces that the right to use "Dilal" during the lease period belongs to "Morning Star", it will inevitably have a huge impact on "Venus Pharmaceuticals". Some competitors will also take the opportunity to play tricks, such as revealing the break in the relationship between him and Tang Fang.

Now that the people of the Star Alliance love and love Captain Tang, knowing that Bill Bohm conspired against the "Morning Star Foundry", one can imagine what will happen next.

"Venus Pharmaceutical" is bound to decline, and the business empire he has spent his whole life building will collapse, and his reputation will be ruined, and he will be cursed like O'Neill.

As the saying goes, "People are in the rivers and lakes. They can't help themselves." He thought he was on a big ship, but after leaving the port, he discovered that the bow of the ship turned out to be "Titanic".

He regretted it very much, but more importantly, he was not reconciled, and he was not reconciled to the decline of "Venus Pharmaceutical".

David Conan is still sitting in that wheelchair, tapping the smooth leather armrest with his fingers. If you observe carefully, you will find that the beating frequency is exactly the same as that of the second hand of the classical wall clock hanging in the middle of the auditorium.

"So what if you don't like it." To be honest, he didn't like Bill Bohm. Because in his dictionary, failure is failure. The so-called unwillingness to admit defeat can only show that that person is not only a loser, but also a coward.

There is no shame in fighting with all your might and losing, it is honorable, because fighting itself is a sacrifice and effort. But... not acknowledging one's failure, but looking for reasons for failure, is the real shame.

"Once he releases the video data in his hand, the 'Venus' will still have to go bankrupt. At that time, your ending will be 100 times worse than now."

David Conan's words are very reasonable. If Bill Bohm admits defeat and gives up the right to use "Dilal", "Venus Pharmaceutical" will gradually decline. He can still spend his old age in peace, but if Enraged Tang Fang, took that evidence to sue "Venus Pharmaceutical" to the alliance court. What awaited him was not only the bankruptcy of "Venus Pharmaceutical", but also the charges of treason. That would be the real infamy.

Once again Bilbohm fell silent, with the expression on his face like the fickle weather, with many colors and many expressions.

An Asian congressman next to Tomlinson Dale said: "As long as we are here, you still have a chance to make a comeback."

Ruan Tingwen, who had been silent all this time, looked up at him, his not so clear pupils contained a lot of grievances.

The speaker was none other than his grandfather --- Lu Yuankui.

In fact, Lu Yuankui does not want "Venus Pharmaceutical" to decline. After all, the Ruan family is close to him, and Bill Bohm "filial piety" every year. It is a pity that Tang Fang has issued an ultimatum. Under the current social background, this matter Once there is a big trouble, he is likely to follow in O'Neill's footsteps, ruin his reputation, and lose the opportunity to realize his life ideals and political ambitions.

Those words were a promise to Bill Bohm, but also a test or threat to many congressmen.

"Venus Pharmaceuticals" can make concessions, but the two parties in the parliament must guarantee the interests of Bill Bohm and others.

Captain Tang's coercion put great pressure on the Star Alliance government, but it also brought an opportunity for the Republican Party to coerce the ruling Liberal Party to pay for the failure together.

Tomlinson Dale, Peggy Gasol and other members of the Liberal Party, as well as several representatives of Adam Oliver, changed their expressions slightly, but none of them spoke, obviously acquiescing to Lu Yuankui's promise.

This is the case in the political arena. A compromise of interests often requires more compromises to be achieved.

Human nature is complex and changeable, and a society composed of people also inherits such attributes.

Bill Bohm is not a fool, let alone an idiot. In terms of wisdom, he is not inferior to many congressmen present. He knew how much profound meaning was contained in Lu Yuankui's seemingly simple sentence just now, and he was even more aware of the embarrassment that "Venus Pharmaceutical" was facing.

Just like what David Conan said, if Tang Fang cannot be satisfied, "Venus Pharmaceutical" will not only go bankrupt, but he and Ruan Tingwen may really be branded treasonous, even the parliament, the government, and the army It is impossible to survive the disaster, and it is bound to throw out a few dead ghosts to calm public opinion.

At that time, he also faced resentment from both parties in parliament. He may even be assassinated by extremists in revenge for his ignorance.

What the Star Alliance needs is the biological battleship modulation technology of "Morning Star Forging", and also needs allies like Captain Tang. People like him are not uncommon in the Tiannest star area, so in the eyes of the Star Alliance government. What is more important between him and Captain Tang is a question that is easy to answer.

It's just... Judging from the current situation, the Star Alliance government's "carrot + stick" method is using the wrong target.

In fact, the unwillingness, embarrassment, desolation, sadness... and other expressions on his face are more false than true. He was just retreating to advance, and cooperated with Lu Yuankui to sing the double reed, so as to obtain more benefits for himself.

There is a saying that is right, crises and opportunities coexist, and truly smart people can turn crises into opportunities. Bill Bohm is such a person, as are Lu Yuankui and Terry Ferdinand.

Those guys from the Liberal Party want to be on the wall to watch the fun? Or step on the dog in the water at a critical moment?

There are no doors! Earn money together, and fight against difficulties together. The so-called political rule is that you have me in you and you in me. Everyone is tossing and turning in this quagmire.

to be honest. It is to turn the country into a power game for a few in the name and rules of politics. real politics. There is no simple right or wrong, and no pure winning or losing. It is an existence close to "Tao".

In fact, it is an art just like music and painting, but unfortunately there are very few qualified appreciators. Most of the people who talk about state affairs in the streets and alleys every day are half-assed.

"Chairman, you just agree...we are businessmen." The speaker was Ruan Tingwen who had never spoken.

Bill Bohm raised his head, looked at the conspicuous star flag under the light, looked at the large and small red stars in the grid, and said: "The conscience of capitalists and the credibility of politicians are the most untrustworthy things in this world."

Ruan Tingwen was speechless for a while.

The atmosphere in the auditorium became a little exciting.

David Conan lowered his head slightly, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Luke Stillberg's eyes were calm, and he looked carefully like a stagnant pool in the depths of the valley.

Terry Ferdinand folded his hands, his eyes were narrowed into a line, he looked as if he was too tired, unable to hold back, and had already fallen asleep.

Lu Yuankui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, as if he felt that Bill Bohm's words were too direct and didn't save face for others.

Tomlinson Dale sat in the standing councilor's seat with a stern expression on his face.

Peggy Gasol's pupils were filled with angry flames, more brilliant than the dome-like array of star crystals. He looked at Terry Ferdinand, then at Lu Yuankui, and finally at Bill Bohm's face , eyes like sharp razors.

A person in the corner stood up and said, "What do you want?"

He was of mixed race, with a pair of Indian eyes and a Germanic figure. He looked quite fit. If he was 20 years younger, he would definitely make the girls and daughter-in-laws screaming in the square outside.

Bill Bohm avoided Peggy Gasol's hostile gaze and landed on the man's face. He remembered that his name was Reese Adinan, he was from the presidential palace, and he was one of Adam Oliver's staff.

Bill Bohm took a deep breath and said, "The decline of 'Venus Pharmaceutical' is a foregone conclusion. I must be responsible for the other members of the board of directors and those employees who have dedicated half their lives to 'Venus Pharmaceutical'."

"Needless to say, it's so sensational." Reis Aidinan said expressionlessly.

Bill Bohm said: "I want the right to mine mineral resources in the Ayalos star system."

After one sentence was finished, the meeting place became completely silent. No one spoke, but it gave off the feeling of being crowded.

Those exchanges do not require words, just eyes are enough.

Tang Fang smashed the hard bones of the Eye Army, and all the military facilities of "Mubarak" were destroyed. It was a heavy blow to the Sulu Empire, but it was of great strategic significance to the Star Alliance.

The Ayalos-Koplin-Slandal No Man's Land Garrison Navy has begun to advance in the direction of "Mubarak". If there is no accident, the main battlefield between the Star Alliance and the Sulu Empire will advance to the surrounding area of ​​"Mubarak". As long as the Covenant Navy does not suffer a huge defeat in the battle on the front line, no man's land will be completely controlled by the Covenant government. The Ayalos star system, which was originally close to the border between "Mubarak" and the Sulu Empire, is a star system rich in mineral resources. In addition to zero elements, the 7 planets in the system contain various minerals such as titanium, manganese, palladium, iridium, and cesium. The resources required by the aerospace industry.

In the past, "Ayalos" was located between the border between "Mubarak" and the Sulu Empire. No company dared to set up an operation base there. Weakness, the country's development direction focuses on economic construction, and the strategy focuses on keeping a low profile. Since the Sulu Empire did not move forward after occupying "Mubarak", for the sake of caution, the Star Alliance government did not develop the no-man's land, but put It serves as a military buffer zone.

Today is different from the past. In terms of comprehensive national strength, the Star Alliance is even higher than the Sulu Empire. In addition, the navy stationed in no man's land has moved forward. The conditions for resource development of "Ayalos" are ripe. No matter how you look at it, exchanging the right to use the "Dilal" for the resource development right of "Ayalos" is a profitable business, not to mention that this kind of resource development right can also be transferred to seek greater commercial benefits .

Bill Bohm is very smart, and he put his idea on "Aallos". The business of mining mineral resources like this is actually not high in technology content. The biggest difficulty lies in the government's granting of mining rights.

After "Venus Pharmaceutical" and "Morning Star Foundry" parted ways, they will definitely go downhill and there will be no future. Going to "Ayalos" to mine is definitely a huge profit, and it does not need to be controlled by the people, and it can be operated for a long time, and because it is a cooperative relationship with the government, bound by interests, to some extent it is a grasshopper on a rope , that is, business transformation can be achieved, and state machinery such as the Star Alliance government can be used.

Reis Edinand didn't reply, but looked at Tomlinson Dale and Peggy Gasol.

The person behind him called Adam Oliver to report the current situation to the President's Office of the Reinhardt Palace.

"This is your idea for him, right?" Peggy Gasol is an old man with a vulva face. He looks a little disgusted, but his tone of voice is much gentler than other congressmen, making it hard to tell who he is. In the end is a good temper, or a bad character.

Terry Ferdinand didn't speak, just coughed twice in response.

"It's a good plan." Peggy Gasol looked at Reis Edinant and nodded.

The Liberal Party is the current ruling party, and it looks bright on the surface. In fact, there are many things that need to be paid attention to. If Tang Fang makes the video material public, it will be the current government that will be most affected, not the Republicans.

Bill Bohm is catching the weakness of the Liberals, and his background is the Republican Party, so he doesn't have to worry about offending the government and being put on small shoes in the future.

Adam Oliver and David Conan persuaded Bill Bohm to compromise and sell the right to use "Dillard". Naturally, the government has to make concessions, and only people like Terry Ferdinand can balance and balance. The play is so proficient, reaching the pinnacle.

At the same time, the person behind Reis Edinand hung up the phone and whispered something in his ear.

"Okay, the mineral mining rights of 'Ayalos' belong to you. In exchange, 'Venus Pharmaceutical' will transfer the right to use 'Dilal' to 'Morning Star Foundry'."

"make a deal."

Bill Bohm agreed very simply, and a smile was finally squeezed out of his originally cloudy face, making him look a little more angry and no longer like a dying person.

Ruan Tingwen looked at Lu Yuankui with a fiery face, with a kind of flattery and gratitude in his eyes.

…………

Two hours later, a black car drove into the courtyard of a private villa on the hillside of a green hill on the outskirts of the Star Alliance capital "Greenier".

Terry Ferdinand, with a tired face, walked into the two-storey building facing the fountain in the center of the courtyard with the help of two entourages.

The living room is very quiet. The holographic projection device facing the sofa is playing a life-themed movie, but unfortunately there is no sound. No matter how beautiful the picture is and how the actors' expressions are in place, there is always a lack of flavor and it is not so perfect.

Hamlet was reclining on the sofa like a drunk. The stubble on his chin had already grown a secret layer, which was as hard as a brush he just bought. (To be continued..)
