Chapter 322 Elizabeth Cress!
After returning to Huashenton, Miles immediately convened a high-level government meeting.
These government officials, without exception, have all served as high-level military technology leaders.
It can be said that the entire New America and military technology are actually two sides of the same coin.
The leader is naturally the new American government.
After all, only a former military tech CEO is qualified to serve as president of the new America.
There is a natural superior-subordinate relationship between them.
Miles looked at everyone who could come, and those who could not come were also sitting in the conference room through remote projection.
Miles took a deep breath and then said: "Everyone, I have called you here today because there is something important to announce."
A group of high-level officials began to discuss,
They thought Miles was going to launch an internal investigation into the attack.
Preparing to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, some people couldn't help but feel panic.
After all, this incident may lead to a major internal purge, and none of them want to be implicated.
They all thought about how to stand in line to protect themselves wisely and gain more benefits at the same time.
However, what Miles said next shocked them.
"From now on, we will cooperate fully with the Adeptus Mechanicus."
Miles said calmly.
"What? Cooperate with the Adeptus Mechanicus?"
Everyone's eyes widened and they looked at Miles in disbelief that he could so easily reveal the fact that he was almost killed.
"Yes, this is our only option." Miles explained, projecting a document in front of everyone, "This is the contract I signed with Pope Lana!"
"How is this possible? Is the Pope crazy? Just to spread the faith? He accepted the military control of New America. Is there any trap in this?"
Everyone was immediately shocked when they saw the contract, and the conference room fell into silence. Everyone looked at each other, and their hearts were filled with worry.
In this world controlled by capital, they never believe in pie-in-the-sky things and always feel that there is some conspiracy hidden in it.
"I didn't believe it at first and thought Lana was crazy, but the contract was here and I couldn't see any trap. For the sake of great interests, I had to sign this contract without any discussion.
Because I’m really afraid that if I think about it for one more second, the Pope will regret making this decision~”
Miles first explained to everyone why they were not notified of such an important contract.
"Moreover, as long as we hold this contract, no matter what traps the Mechanicum has, we will have absolute legal rationality. Even if we go to war with them, we will still be a righteous party. It will be useless to regret it then!"
"Do you think Xiao was led astray by that prodigal son of Arasaka Yorinobu and accepted Arasaka Yorinobu's utopian ideas!?" Someone suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the conference room.
Everyone was shocked and looked at the speaker with different expressions.
Miles was also very happy, thinking that this was a good opportunity to push forward his statement.
She glanced at everyone, wanting to see who knew her so well, but when she saw Elizabeth Kress, her face instantly darkened.
Elizabeth Kress served as President of the New America, but after being ousted by Miles,
Now that he has become the vice president, he still has political disagreements with Miles and has been coveting the position of president.
However, she also understands that sometimes the two have the same ideas, such as making the new America great again.
It is only because of their different governing philosophies that the differences of opinion arise.
Elizabeth Kress's governing plan had failed before, but Miles firmly believed that her own path would succeed.
"Okay, let's not worry about the reasons of the Mechanicus. What we need to discuss now is whether New America wants to eat this pie falling from the sky, and whether it has the ability to eat the entire Mechanicus!"
Miles slapped the table, suppressed his dissatisfaction, silenced all the comments, and asked loudly.
However, Elizabeth stood up suddenly, anger flashing on her beautiful face, and she glared at Miles:
"What does it mean to be capable? Not to mention a Mechanicus, even if Arasaka comes, we can still eat it!
Miles, you are such a coward!
With our strength, let alone whether the Mechanicus has a trap, even if they do have a plan, so what?
The new America gives us enough confidence to ignore all conspiracies and conspiracies! "
Hearing Elizabeth's radical remarks, Miles couldn't help but secretly roll his eyes and thought:
"This Xiao Bichi is really a genius. He jumped in even though he knew there was a trap inside. He really did whatever it took to suppress her."
But Miles also knows that Elizabeth actually doesn't care whether there are any pitfalls in this contract. Elizabeth is simply trying to undermine her own prestige.
After all, regardless of whether there are pitfalls in this matter, military technology will not go bankrupt. At most, it will only hurt the muscles and bones, and it will be fine after a period of training.
But if this thing comes true, then her Miles' prestige will definitely be at its peak.
In this way, Elizabeth will never be able to stand up again in this life.
Therefore, Elizabeth must express her attitude more strongly to set off Miles's hesitation.
Only when the two sides form a direct and sharp contrast can Elizabeth take part of Miles's credit, so as not to leave herself in a position of no return.
Even if military technology really falls into the trap and suffers heavy losses, it will not have much impact on Elizabeth, who strongly supports it. The worst thing is that it will be downgraded. In short, it will not be worse than now.
However, since Elizabeth jumped in on her own initiative, she would have to object even more. Otherwise, what if Elizabeth was so determined to go against her if she readily agreed?
So he opened his mouth to refute his idea:
"Sit down and stop talking nonsense to me. We can't just look at the immediate interests, but also consider the long-term effects. If the Mechanicus really has any conspiracy, we must be cautious when getting involved.
Of course, I'm not saying that we can't eat the Mechanicum, but the problem is that we have to consider the pros, cons and risks. This is no joke, and if we act blindly, we may get into unforeseen difficulties. "
Elizabeth sneered when she heard this and mocked Miles:
"Myles, you are always so cautious and afraid of taking risks. However, only by daring to try can you get greater rewards. We cannot shrink back because of a small risk."
