Chapter 448: True and False Paul
Fort St. John, the official residence of the President.
Lin Xiaoman stood in front of the window, looking at the yellow leaves flying outside the window, her expression was as gloomy as the scenery of late autumn outside the window.
From winter to spring, from spring to summer, from summer to autumn, from the time she sent Luo Songxi away with the "Dongtian Ornament", she has been pressing herself with heavy work, until she doesn't have any time to think about things outside of work.
Liberty Avenue outside the presidential residence has long since been renovated from its ruin during the war. The young people of Fort St. John, despite the cold wind of late autumn, are still running and noisy in the yellow leaves of Liberty Avenue and President's Park. It is in stark contrast to the silence in the presidential residence.
She didn't work because the president stopped all the work at hand. At this moment, President Paul, who was thin and tall, was sitting on the sofa chair behind her, sitting quietly and in contemplation.
"Here he comes. Paul raised his head and said to Lin Xiaoman's back.
Lin Xiaoman didn't look back, he came, but she only remembered that the last word she said to him was "go".
"It is said that in less than a year, he jumped two steps in a row, and slapped Ekhar Timur to death on the Karo Islands, worthy of being the son of the plane. Paul continued.
"So he's coming back this time, do you know what to do?"
Lin Xiaoman still didn't look back, and he didn't say anything.
At this time, the door of the room was pushed open.
Another tall, thin figure walked in, exactly like Paul on the armchair.
Lin Xiaoman hurriedly turned around and said softly, "Praise the Great Prophet." ”
Paul walked in with a blank face, while Paul on the sofa chair laughed.
"You're wrong again, I'm the one. He said to Lin Xiaoman.
Lin Xiaoman showed a nervous expression, lowered his head, and said, "I know what to do." ”
......
......
The mighty airship procession stopped at the airship lodge on the outskirts of Fort St. John.
The airship team was not hindered in any way, and even when the airship landed, the airship stack had stopped all the airship take-off and landing that day for them, and made room for them to land on the landing pad.
As soon as Luo Songxi stepped off the airship, someone sent a handwritten letter from the president.
President Paul expressed his delight at the return of the Commonwealth Hero, Rosong Creek, and asked him to go to the President's residence, where he was received by the President and presented him with the Medal of the Black Diamond, the highest honor of the Commonwealth.
Luo Songxi said that he was happy to accept, he straightened the straight military uniform on his body, pinned the obsidian medal on his chest that was awarded after the Beihai Heavy Industry case, and then got into the car with the license plate No. 0001.
This is Mr. President's car, and in order to pay tribute to the Union heroes, President Paul specially sent his own car to the airship inn to pick up Luo Songxi.
Veronica, Leonardo, Crowle, the Holy Hammer brothers, and the Lo family all made their own trips to Fort St. John, with only Richard Roberts following Rosong Creek into the car.
The staff of the president's office who pulled the door politely asked Luo Songxi, "General, is this your security personnel?"
"Where," Luo Songxi said, "this is an old friend of Mr. President, and I believe that Mr. President will be very pleasantly surprised when he sees him." ”
The staff didn't mean anything to object, and the scene was joyful and peaceful. No one, including the Three Great Families and the Sacred Hammer Brothers, would have thought that President Paul would have any reason to be against Luo Songxi, or that Luo Songxi would have any reason to be against Luo Songxi.
......
......
The swaggering car No. 0001 was parked outside the president's residence, which was already surrounded by a large group of reporters who had heard the news.
Not far away, on the lawn of the Presidential Park, a podium has been set up, and the award will be held on the stage, and after the award, President Paul will also deliver a speech here.
Luo Songxi stepped out of the car, and those reporters tried to swarm over, but the security personnel outside the official residence erected a human wall and stopped them on the periphery to prevent them from approaching Luo Songxi.
A female reporter who rushed to the front shouted at Luo Songxi, "Major General Luo Songxi, for the sake of past friendships, give me an interview for half an hour later——"
Luo Songxi recognized her, it was the so-called fastest female reporter in the Federation who stabbed out the corruption nest case in Xixing State in Tarta Town, and reported to the Federal Security Committee in the dwarf kingdom Wine and Fire City, Merry Sander.
Luo Songxi smiled at her and made a gesture that was okay, and walked towards the president's residence with General Richard.
He naturally understood the role of these journalists, this award and speech.
There was a scene of celebration, but only he and Paul knew about the undercurrent. He came to Paul for a showdown, to solve the problem between him and Paul in the most efficient way.
But this is Paul's home turf. In the official residence, if the problem can be solved according to Paul's wishes, then it will be solved behind closed doors in the official residence. If it can't be resolved according to Paul's wishes, then he can step out of the official residence to face these reporters, and he can walk on the podium, and Luo Songxi will not be able to make a mistake.
And when he was on the podium, he could continue to play his cards.
But Luo Songxi did not hesitate and stepped into the gate of the official residence.
The two heavy black iron gates closed silently.
......
......
In the main living room on the first floor of the official residence, there was no guard of honor for the reception, and there were no other staff members, only three people.
Two Paul Edwards, one sitting on a sofa chair and one standing in the center of the hall.
Lin Xiaoman was still standing in front of the window, looking out of the window intently. When Luo Songxi walked in, she still didn't look back.
Seeing Lin Xiaoman's back, Luo Songxi's breathing tightened.
But he tried to get himself back to normal as soon as possible.
He told himself that this arrangement did not surprise him.
The two Pauls made it impossible to distinguish between his authenticity and his falsehood, and Lin Xiaoman tried to contain him.
Standing De Paul held out his hand to Luo Songxi. Luo Songxi did not hesitate, and also reached out to shake him.
And Paul, who was sitting, said straight to Luo Songxi:
"I'll announce you next, making you my running mate. Then after I am elected, I will announce my resignation due to physical reasons in a month, and even if I let my doppelganger, it is no problem to really get sick and die suddenly. Then you can rightfully take over as president of the Federation. ”
"And I will go to the Empire to negotiate with Antonidas on your behalf and bring the Empire under your leadership as well. With your status—you should know your background—that's not hard to achieve. ”
Luo Songxi did not answer, only Richard Roberts beside him, took off the military hat that deliberately covered most of his face, and said to Paul:
"Michael Geller, did you reveal the route of the expeditionary force to the Empire?"
