Chapter 1002 999 Gift

Six hours ago, London.

In the afternoon, under the warm sunshine, under the umbrellas on the edge of the square. .

Yegor raised his head and poured the espresso down his throat. His slightly pale face became slightly more energetic.

But looking at the person across the table, I couldn't help but have a headache.

"To be honest, this matter is very big and very troublesome to deal with. Mr. Russell, you should know the consequences."

He sighed and said, "In broad daylight, the leader of the Kingdom of Heaven lineage and the branch chief of the governing bureau fought in London, especially when you and your students lined up to stab a branch chief in the throat. Well, even if He was wrong in the first place, but that's not the way to solve the problem.

There is also great controversy within the decision-making room about how to handle this matter now. Even though Minister Hanyu did not complain or demand investigation, many people still demanded stricter punishment. "

"It doesn't sound very serious. At least it's not as serious as when the Egyptian branch director and the Rome branch director opened the film. I have to say that the scene at that time was really eye-opening for me."

Russell held the tea spoon and stirred the black tea, with a calm expression on his face.

Yegor shook his head: "This is not the same thing."

"Of course it's not the same thing."

Russell smiled: "At least you can't treat this as a simple friction, right? Or is it that the string of power in some people's minds is always tight and never relaxes?

You and I both know that whether this matter is a big deal or not depends on how big a fuss you want to make in the end. "

He said: "You say this is a big deal, but that is a big deal."

But is it actually a big deal?

After all, the Astronomical Society is a legal force organization that brings together the whole territory. Isn't there still little time for internal filming? In particular, the internal frictions in the bureau have not stopped for decades, and several branches are secretly starting to show signs of conflict every day or two.

Is it still unusual for there to be fistfights within the central decision-making room?

It doesn't matter if no one dies.

In the past, Huai Shi stabbed someone, which was actually not a big deal. It was normal for a young man to be ignorant and full of energy.

But the Russell poke is different.

The key is that his identity is becoming more and more sensitive now. Nominally speaking, he is also a member of the Astronomical Society and the principal of the Ivory Tower. He has a lot of connections and a wide circle of friends, so he can get along well no matter where he is. In fact, everyone wants to win over him.

But now, he is about to become the de facto leader of the Kingdom of Heaven lineage. Even if the Utopia has disappeared, he can no longer be viewed from the same standpoint as in the past.

Then the matter became serious.

On that day, the Commanding Bureau recalled the helplessness of being dominated by the Utopia, and the humiliation of being treated as a bad brother...Why is the Commanding Bureau a second-class person, while your Utopia is the superior of others?

This is still an issue left over from history and cannot be resolved. In addition, with the rise and expansion of the Kingdom of Heaven lineage, there will inevitably be attempts to rebuild the Utopia.

And this process will inevitably be accompanied by the shaking of the leadership of the governing bureau.

Even if the gap between the two sides is huge now, the Central Decision-making Room of the Administration Bureau, as the de facto top department of the Astronomical Society, will not lose its leadership position again because of this.

But the pot is only so big. If you want to eat, you also want to eat a big piece. If two pieces are not enough, won’t there be less on other people’s plates?

Yegor's meaning has been made very clear: a part of the administration decided to use this incident as a spearhead to attack Russell and suppress the current development trend of the Kingdom of Heaven genealogy.

"From my personal point of view, I don't want internal conflicts to arise within the Astronomical Society at such a critical time."

Yegor said bluntly: "If the Kingdom of Heaven lineage can develop and grow, we will naturally be happy to see it happen, and we will not hesitate to allocate part of our resources to meet your needs.

The current situation is difficult, and the more effective forces the better.

But others may not think so. "

The Secretary-General of the Administrative Bureau and the de facto spokesperson of the Central Decision-making Office said, "I will help you, but you must make me explain internally."

"Explain? How to explain?"

Russell shook his head nonchalantly: "Are you calling on everyone to vote when you run for president? Sorry, I'm not in the habit of canvassing votes for my competitors. Let's change the conditions."

Yegor wanted to become the de facto president of the Astronomical Society for more than a day or two, and he had never concealed this fact.

As the leader of the reformist faction, his long-standing proposition is to reorganize the internal structure of the Astronomical Society and streamline the increasingly redundant administrative bureaus...

If you want to accomplish so many changes in a drastic way, it is obviously not enough to just rely on the position of secretary-general to balance internal voices.

The position of president that has been vacant for many years is the best choice.

He has been working on this over the years.

This is not some wild ambition, it is just the goal and demand of a politician - who can dare to say that they have never thought of becoming the president of the Astronomical Society?

As the leader of a faction, he has reasons and obligations to fight for this position.

"Russell, you should know this is the best option."

Yegor solemnly promised, “If I can become the president, at least there will be no obstacles to the reconstruction of the Utopia by the genealogy of the Kingdom of Heaven during my term of office.

I know you are dissatisfied with the Administration, but even if you run for office, you will not succeed, even if you have the Book of Destiny. "

Russell was silent.

Just drinking black tea quietly.

After a long time, he sighed softly.

"Change the conditions, Yegor." Russell shook his head, "I have no objection to you. The achievements and sacrifices of the Administration over the years are obvious to all.

I know very well that even if the Utopia can be rebuilt, it may not be able to return to its former glory in my lifetime.

You are indeed the most suitable candidate for president.

But no. "

"If you succeed, then I will obey your orders. If I fail, then I will wait for the next election."

He said, "But if someone from Utopia is not the president, then I can't admit it, that's all."

You can accept reality, but you must never give up your persistence in that position.

This is the last bit of strength left in the Utopia.

Even if it was meaningless, Russell couldn't bow his head.

"The burden of inheritance."

Yegor sighed: "I can understand, but my promise is still valid, Russell. I look forward to the reconstruction of the lineage of the Kingdom of Heaven and the resurrection of the Utopia. This has never changed."

"Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you."

Russell shook his head and laughed, and suddenly asked: "I heard that the decision-making room has proposed to activate the border defense front in advance in the past few days?"

"..."

Yegor was silent for a moment, glanced at him strangely, and sighed silently.

Why could he know such secrets among secrets, information that few people within the bureau knew, and why would he go all the way to show off in front of him? Please, can you stop being so naughty?

Co-author In Russell's eyes, the decision-making room is really a sieve with ventilation on all sides?

But since everyone has asked openly, there is no need for Yegor to cover up the news that will be announced tomorrow.

"The pressure is greater than expected." He said, "Although the Bronze Eye is still collecting more data, there should be no less than two destructive elements involved behind this war of the worlds - there are already many The young rulers chose to join forces and could already foresee that the situation would be difficult.

Otherwise, the WPC will not relent on restarting the presidential election. "

"Then it seems like things are really serious."

Russell nodded and said nothing more.

Drink tea.

It was like finding a topic to talk about when you were idle, which made Yegor look helpless: "I know you want to take more initiative and get more benefits as much as possible, but there is no need for you to do this in front of me. Set it up?"

"Can't stand it anymore?" Russell laughed.

"My bladder is not good, I need to go to the toilet." Yegor said, "I have drank five or six cups of coffee, but you always have to talk to me about business."

"Well, the business is about the Border Defense Front."

Russell said bluntly: "I have ways to expand the scope of the three major blockades."

Yegor's movements froze.

In the long silence, he looked up at Russell in front of him, silent.

"What? Unbelievable?" Russell asked.

"No, I'm just wondering if you are bluffing me." Yegor said bluntly: "You have a criminal record, but I hope you won't joke about this kind of thing."

The three major blockades are of great significance to the current situation. Even the existence of the border defense front is nothing more than a city wall, but the three major blockades are the foundation for protecting the current situation.

If the power of the three blockades can be spread to the outside world, then the country can have a strategic advantage whether it is defense or counterattack.

Whether it is the physical rules brought by Zarathustra that suppress the chaotic phenomenon of hell, or the real-time transmission of the full map of the Rainbow Bridge, or even the final death of all things that poses a huge threat to the rulers.

This will bring huge help.

But the key is that not many can achieve this...

"The hell outpost of the Utopia?" Yegor asked.

Engineering during the heyday of the Republic, huge outposts were built at different depths of the abyss. They are like signal base stations, transmitting the power from the current situation at critical times and delivering it to hell.

As important bases and transit points for the hell pioneers, they once played a huge role. But with the collapse of the Utopia, those outposts were abandoned, destroyed, and basically unusable and turned into ruins.

It is true that someone once proposed a restart plan, but it was rejected because it was expensive and the success rate was too low.

Yegor didn't understand why Russell would take it out as a bargaining chip.

"Outposts are not something that can be easily destroyed. In addition to branch nodes, there are a total of forty-six special outposts. They are built on top of hell and are integrated with hell.

When it was originally built, we considered the situation of force majeure, so all the hidden technologies of the Survival Institute were used.

When you need to evacuate, you can curl up your own dimensions and return to nothingness, sealing the interior for more than a hundred years to ensure completeness to the greatest extent. Unless you have the activation key and map, even if you stand in front of them, you can't see or touch them..."

Russell made no secret of it: “All the distribution maps and keys are intact. When the kingdom of heaven fell, I personally dug them back and preserved them to this day.

According to my investigation, there are more than twenty outposts that are fully functional and can function perfectly with just a simple start...

In other words, Yegor, I will give you more than twenty important strategic pivots. "

Yegor was stunned for a long time.

Faced with the sudden news, I didn't know whether to be shocked or grateful for a moment.

I don’t understand why Russell did this.

"Don't worry, Yegor, this is not a deal."

Russell spread his hands and smiled: "How about just treating it as a gift?

I don't ask for reward or gratitude from the command bureau, nor do I expect any power or praise from you. I just want you and the calculating guys in your decision-making room to understand one thing. "

——Even if the Utopia is gone, it’s not that easy to forget its glory!
