Chapter 527 The Consortium Dilemma (Part II)

Williams Diman straightened his trench coat and glanced at Robert Braden beside him, whose serious expression made the atmosphere of the quiet conference room a lot more solemn. The corners of Williams' mouth turned up slightly, and a relaxed smile jumped on his face, on the planet Moncroso, his smile has fascinated thousands of girls.

"Relax!" he said.

Robert Braden is the leader of the younger generation of the Mendu Cusman Consortium, and he has come from the battlefield of blood and fire, what kind of scene has he not experienced? However, this young god of war also has an aspect that he is not good at, that is, this kind of high-level diplomatic conference that is about to begin! When Williams came to Mendu Kusman with the sincerity of the Monk Youne Consortium, Robert was impressed by Williams's easy diplomatic skills, and even his grandfather praised Williams.

"It's worse than fighting!" Robert smirked.

"Yes, that's part of the war!" Williams still had that smile on his face, but now there was a hint of majesty and solemnity on his face, as the door of the conference hall opened, and the sound of neat footsteps echoed through the spacious hall.

Williams and Robert immediately stood up, turned to face the gate, and their eyes fell on the middle-sized old man who was surrounded by the crowd. He was Hilde Byzantium, Secretary General of the Byzantine Commonwealth. The man who followed him must have been his right-hand man, Duke Byzantium, and he was followed by a large group of leading officials of the Byzantine Commonwealth.

A group of people walked down the red carpet to the center of the hall and came to Williams and Robert. The two young men stepped forward to salute, after all, they were also the secretary general of the consortium!

"The younger Williams Dieman represents the Moncaeune Consortium and the Dieman family......"

"Junior," Robert was very uncomfortable with the self-proclaimed "Robert Braden, representing the Mendu Kusman Consortium and the Braden Family......"

However, the two said in unison: "Sincere respect to the honorable Secretary General of the Byzantine Commonwealth and the Byzantine Patriarch!"

After the two finished speaking, they moved to the sides, and behind them two tall men dressed in the traditional costumes of the two families walked up to Hilde Byzantium with the gifts prepared by the two families, knelt down on one knee, and presented the gifts. Hilde Byzantium glanced at it and motioned for Duke behind him to take it.

"Thank you very much for the kindness of the patriarchs of the two families of Orion Cantilever, I have admired the two associations of Munk Yuneen and Mendu Cusman for a long time, but I have not had the opportunity to go, I deeply regret it. Today, the two representatives of the two families are here, and I am happy from the bottom of my heart. Peng Duo, why don't you invite the two distinguished guests to move to the House of Commons?" said a few official words to a bespectacled official beside him.

"Please, two of you, please!"

"Your Excellency, Secretary-General, please!" Williams said humbly.

"Please!"

The personnel of both sides, led by official Peng Duo, left the conference hall and came to the House of Commons. The House of Commons was the place where the Byzantine Commonwealth discussed important matters and voted on decisions, and the entire hall of the House of Commons was as high as a three-story building, with a circular dome carved with exquisite frescoes, and a large diamond chandelier hanging from the middle. Around the House of Commons, there are more than a dozen rows of terraced seats where ordinary members are seated, divided into four sections, with two adjacent seats in the middle of the aisle. Long before they arrived, all the councillors had taken their seats. In addition to the seats of ordinary members, there are three rings of seats in the central hall of the House of Representatives, which are the seats of the main representative families of the consortium.

When everyone entered through the door of the House of Commons, the members of the stairs on both sides of the aisle peered in. There was no warm applause as Robert imagined, only the faint whispering voice of bowing his head, as if full of questions and anxiety about their arrival. Robert glanced at Williams beside him, his head still held high, and that confident smile on his face. Robert's heart was full of settlers, and he raised his head as he did.

When the group walked to the seats in the center of the hall of the House of Commons, the discussion in the House of Commons became louder. There was a slight quarrel among the members of the major families at the surrounding ordinary seats, presumably due to a difference of opinion when they saw these people from Orion's cantilever. Such disagreements are inevitable, and every session of the House of Commons is not successful without bloodshed!

As the quarrel grew louder, the family members of the two ordinary seats sitting in the innermost seat with their backs to the central seat had a hands-on incident, but they were quickly pulled away by the people around them. You must know that the representatives of the two major associations of the cantilever arm that are meeting with you today are from another cantilever arm, and in front of outsiders, especially those from the outer cantilever, it is better not to expose the internal contradictions for the time being!

Calm has returned to the House of Representatives.

Secretary General Hilde Byzantium sat in the host's seat with a dignified smile on his face, and Williams and Robert sat in the guest seat opposite the chairman under the arrangement of Pendor, facing the representatives of the entire Byzantine Commonwealth. Williams felt a lot of excitement in his heart!

After everyone was seated, the doors of the House of Commons were closed, all the lights were turned on, and the murals on the walls of the House of Commons came to life. What the mural depicts is the creation theory. Legend has it that a very great god created this world, created everything in the universe, including human beings! Later, the greed of mankind angered the god, and he caused several mass extinctions, killing the bad guys, leaving only those who believed in him devoutly.

This kind of story is described in the canons of all religions, but each has a different name for God.

Williams pulled his gaze back from the fresco in the distance and re-settled it on Hilde, the Byzantine secretary at the table, on the opposite table. Hilde Byzantium's mind at this moment was all about the plan of the apostles last night. He pulled his thoughts back and coughed, his voice echoing through the halls of the House of Commons.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think everyone already knows. The two distinguished guests in front of us are representatives of the Monk Yuneen Consortium and the Mendu Cusman Consortium from our old neighbors Orion Cantilever. I also just learned of the sudden visit of the two guests," Heard said the word "suddenly" Heard said the word suddenly a little heavily, he carefully observed the reaction of the two young people opposite, unexpectedly, they both kept the same smile, but the burly guy's smile was a little stiff, Heard cleared his throat and continued: "Still, for the guests from afar, we still extend a warm welcome. ”

After speaking, a few applause rang out in the hall of the House of Commons, and there was a soft snicker.

"Thank you very much, Secretary-General, for such a cordial welcome!" Williams stood up and bowed, his smile unchanged, and he followed Hilde's tone to accentuate the word sincerity. When the Byzantine parliamentarians heard the young man taunt them in this way, they raised their voices in protest.

Williams didn't care whether the clowns were angry or not, and then said, "We two only say greetings to our neighbors on behalf of the two associations!"

"Very good, very good," Williams finished speaking, and a bald old man beside the Byzantine secretary general nodded slightly, and his shrill voice made Hilde, who was sitting next to him, frown, and said to himself: "Don't say those high-sounding words, tell me the purpose of your trip, right?"

The old man's last words caused the parliamentarians present to laugh, and even several councillors on the chairman couldn't help but bend the corners of their mouths.

However, Williams still looks calm and calm, which makes Hield sigh in his heart, just ask his nephew Duke can't do this!

Williams saw it all, thinking that it was the same inside any consortium, any nation, and even any political machine. What Williams sees in the eyes of all the legislators is corruption and conservatism, and such a coalition has reached a bottleneck. But such a coalition is exactly what Williams and the interest groups behind him would most like to see. What a consortium that has begun to degenerate needs most is, of course, new opportunities for development, which cannot be replaced by countless money! And Williams thinks that he can bring this consortium a chance to flourish!

Williams smiled lightly and said, "You have a point, but I actually hate the red tape as well. So, I'm going to get down to business. Williams slowly sat back in his seat, looked around the House, and finally looked at Secretary General Hilde Byzantium, and said: "Some time ago, something happened that surprised and angered the Diman family and the entire Monkyuneen Consortium. Orion's cantilever and the more powerful Manton-Goethe consortium and the Rectangular Cantilever's Mlililenko have snatched an asteroid from our Diman family. Of course, an asteroid is nothing in the eyes of the Munkyune Consortium, but what shocked us the most was their behavior. ”

"Why, Mr. Diman is here today, is it possible that he wants to ask us for an explanation?" asked one of the councillors on the chairman's side with a cold face.

"Of course not, Councillor," Williams said with a polite smile at him, "although the Byzantine Commonwealth occupies a very important place in the entire joint meeting of the cantilever of the Ruler Seat, it is presumably not to cause a dispute in the joint meeting because of such a seemingly insignificant matter. What I want to say is that, as far as I know, the number of cantilever complexes of the entire rectangular seat is growing rapidly. The large union fell apart and divided into many smaller ones. Smaller associations are regrouped into larger associations. The cantilever of the rectangular ruler is entering the predicament of the union!"
