61. Talk about cooperation
"Mr. George said that McGee appeared to have tried to recreate a fire dragon as his weapon, but unfortunately, he was unsuccessful."
"And what does this have to do with Dono?" Aki asked, puzzled.
"Dono seems to be one of the experts that McGee has hired, and he not only helps McGee rebuild the fire dragon, but also provides McGee with advice on many military issues, so McGee values him."
Ian said disdainfully: "What else can he mention in his papaya brain?" Cut, no wonder McGee can't beat the president's soldiers, just looking at the military advisor he is looking for. ”
Oliver put his hands under his chin and said unhappily: "Ian, how can you say that about papaya, papaya is obviously delicious!" Where is Dono's so bad! ”
Ian: "...... Well Oliver, when I didn't say. Silver you continue to ......"
"I don't know exactly what happened to Dono's deal, and the president's purpose in looking for me is very simple, because Dono's accusations to the interrogator are very sure that if I hear the four words, I will rush to the capital star to see him. And our Excellency the President simply sold this favor by the boat, and he seemed to hope that he would like to take this opportunity to reach some kind of agreement with the Black Commune. ”
Although the agreement proposed by the president is very curious, what everyone in the Black Commune cares about at this time is not the president's conditions, but Silver's previous words.
"What are the four words that Dono is going to say to you?" Ian asked on behalf of everyone.
Yin Wenyan smiled slightly, a trace of obscure darkness flashed in his eyes, slowly opened his lips, and said word by word: "Salvatore." ”
"Plug ......"
"So I thought, I'm going to have to take a trip to the Capital Star."
In this way, having just returned from the Dwarf Star, everyone from the Black Commune once again stepped on the spaceship and headed straight for the Capital Star, but the members involved were changed.
Jinli and Sasha had just gotten married, and it was the time when they were tired, so Silver was very understanding and left the two of them in the base to live in the two-person world, and they were on their honeymoon.
The capital star is no better than the dwarf star, which is the center of federal politics and military, heavily guarded and vigilant, even if Tong Guò George Louis gets the pass specially approved by President Byron, the people of the Black Commune, who are the most wanted objects of the Federation, still dare not take it lightly, and Tong Guò voted collectively, and passed the resolution of bringing the otaku Ella to the capital star with a super high rate of one vote of unanimous vote.
Ella: "Damn, that's me!" ”
Everyone: "The minority obeys the majority, so you can go with it!" Remember to bring explosives! ”
Ella: "......"
Capital Star is worthy of being the most developed planet in the Federation, and its economy, technology, and living standards are far beyond the reach of other small planets. With the permission of the President, the Black Commune's spacecraft flew unhindered in the capital star, and without any interrogation, they successfully arrived at the place where Silver met with the President, the Federal Parliament Hill.
The handsome man with blond hair and blue eyes and leather shoes had been waiting on the lawn for a long time, and as soon as he saw the door of the spaceship open, he immediately walked over, bowed respectfully to Yin, and said: "Hello, Your Excellency Silver, contemptible George Lewis, the first assistant to Your Excellency the President, is here to greet you on the orders of the President, and welcome to the Capitol Hill." ”
Silver bowed slightly, which was considered a return gift. Seeing this, George Louis turned sideways with a smile on his face, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Then please come with me, President Byron has been waiting for a long time." ”
Entering the Parliament Hill is a tedious affair as you have to go through layers of security checks until you are sure you don't have a bullet casing left before you can enter the house.
The president works in that office on the third floor in the center.
President Byron was a middle-aged man in his forties, with flaxen hair and light brown eyes, and a shallow smile on his face, which made him look relatable.
"Oh, Greetings, Silver!"
Seeing Silver come in, Byron took the initiative to get up from his chair and reached out to shake Silver symbolically as a gesture of friendship.
Silver still had no expression on his face, but he shook Byron's hand with a good face, and then sat down across from the president's desk, looking at him quietly.
Byron: "......" It seems that the rumors that the boss of the Black Commune is so cold that he can freeze a barrel of beer are not unfounded......
Under the pressure of Silver's innate fallen angel, Byron coughed lightly, and soon regained his former peace, revealing a trademark smile, and said: "This time I invited you and your members to come to the capital star at the request of the felon, Dono, but I am not interested in the grudge between you and him, and the government will not interfere, on the contrary, I have always hoped to establish a cooperative relationship with the Black Commune, which I think George should have told you." ”
"Hmm." Silver nodded, and said with a calm face: "If possible, the Black Commune would be happy to establish a cooperative relationship with His Excellency the President." ”
Byron smiled when he heard this.
He actually knew very well in his heart how powerful the Black Commune was, fallen angels, dark elves, werewolves, vampires...... None of these people are good at stubble, and with the strength of the Black Commune, it is impossible to conquer it lightly, and even if it can really defeat it, the government will be greatly damaged.
Byron was clever enough to not want his government forces to be crushed in order to destroy the Black Commune, nor did he want his presidency to be constantly provoked by this small threat. The best solution is to find a compromise and cooperate with the Black Commune, so as to ensure that his political position is not threatened, and he can also get a strong backing help, killing two birds with one stone.
He was still thinking about how to meet Silver, but luckily for Dono, as a bridge, provided him with the perfect opportunity.
"Dear Lord Silver, in the confession of McGee's traitor party Simpson, we learned that the leader of the rebel army that arose within the Federation half a year ago was actually killed by you, and I apologize for the government's negligence in attributing this great credit to Simpson, and I apologize to you on behalf of the federal government."
His Excellency the President bowed his noble head.
"As President of the Federation, I will formally submit a reconsideration ruling in Parliament in three weeks' time, denouncing the mistakes of the government six months ago, giving justice to the Black Commune, and at the same time requesting that the government's arrest warrant for the Black Commune be revoked, and informing the public of the great contribution you have made to the Federation."
Byron said this with sincerity, but Silver knew that this was a concession he was willing to make, and that it was time for him to offer his terms.
"I believe that the Black Commune is a righteous organization, and I must be willing to cooperate with the federal government, right?" Byron clasped his hands on the table and smiled: "I hope to enter into a partnership with the Black Commune, after all, the Federation needs fresh blood, but a large part of the high-ranking politicians cannot accept the new changes. I believe that with the strength of the Black Commune, there must be a way to help me persuade them, right? ”
Byron's words are very clear, as president, he guarantees the safety of the Black Commune, guarantees the revocation of the federal government's wanted warrants, and the Black Commune deals with unnecessary troubles for him from time to time.
This condition still sounds very good, after all, no one wants to be hung at the top of the federal wanted list every day, and their head is always on their belt. As for the problems that the president solves, it is nothing more than secretly helping to deal with some disobedient or ambitious politicians, which is not a difficult task for the black commune standing in the shadows.
Silver pursed his lips, turned back to consult the opinions of the other members of the commune, and after getting a positive answer, turned back and stretched out his right hand to Byron, "It's a pleasure to work with you." ”
The smile on Byron's face widened a little, and he held Silver's hand again and said, "Thank you!" ”
In this way, the agreement can be regarded as a preliminary negotiation, and all that remains is the deepening and negotiation of the specific details, but it is clear that His Excellency the President does not intend to continue this strict topic today.
Byron glanced at Silver meaningfully: "I think there must be a lot of grudge between Silver and the felony Dono. George, please take Lord Silver to the Sidis Open Air Prison, and tell the guards there, please do not interfere with Lord Silver in making any decisions. ”
This is a small benefit he gave to Silver, and completely handed over the disposal of Dono to Silver. With this sentence from the president, whether Dono is dead or alive after Silver leaves, Silver does not need to bear any responsibility.
"Thank you." Silver bowed slightly, and then left with George.
He did have something to talk to Dono.
Sidis Open-Air Prison lived up to its reputation as a "nightmare paradise", and as soon as I stepped in, I felt the chill of Sensen.
Every qiē here is dyed black, heavy and oppressive, even if you stand in it and you can look up and see the sky, there will be no sense of freedom.
"I really don't like this place......" Oliver said with goosebumps on his face, rubbing his arms.
Ahead, Silver took Angel's hand and asked in a low voice, "Are you afraid?" ”
"Don't be afraid~~~"
Angel's eyes were shining, perhaps because of the black, his fiery red hair and clothes were particularly eye-catching, and when he looked at the silver, there seemed to be a small flame burning in the red pupils, shining brightly and beautifully.
Silver smiled slightly, let go of the hand holding Angel, and instead took him into his arms, lowered his head and kissed him lightly on the cheek-
Sure enough, seeing Angel's cheeks turn red, he let out a "hmm" and shyly buried his face in Yin's chest - sure enough, it was too shameful to be kissed in public......
Seeing this, Ian turned his head gently, and asked Aki in that greasy tone, "Dear Aki, what do you think?" Do you need me to hold you? ”
Ahi: "...... No need. ”
Ian: "...... you can't just say yes like Angel!"
