The old president looked at his old but well-maintained hands, and did not respond to Zhou Rong's words.

There was a faint hint of burnt paper in the air, but it was quickly masked by the rich smell of coffee in the pot.

"Panic what!" Since Han Jianfei was shelled, the old president has become less and less kind to the director of this office. "What's wrong?"

"Mr. President," Zhou Rong licked his lips that were a little chapped because of anxiety, "there is a military coup in Xinluosong!" As soon as the news came, the breakaway elements took control of the governor's palace and the local fleet base, and put forward three conditions to the alliance......"

After the shelling, former Prime Minister Higashino Ya shot himself in the foot, thinking that it would make the left-wing political coalition more dependent on him, but unexpectedly, Chen Mingyuan uncharacteristically threw himself into his biggest enemy, the Conservative Party.

So, in the general election a few months later, the Pan-Star Front led by Higashino Ya finally lost to the Conservative Party.

As a result, the leader of the Conservative Party, Mr. Hanway, the former deputy speaker of the parliament, successfully sat in the position of prime minister of the coalition.

Since then, Zhou Rong has been active in the top ranks of the Conservative Party, trying to move his position and leave the mascot president.

After all, Mr. Hanwei is now the most powerful person in the entire alliance, so he doesn't need to use the old president's face and political resources to win over anyone.

Feng Pinghai never cared about Zhou Rong's small movements, after all, no matter how he jumped, he was just an insignificant small role in the political situation of the alliance.

Aside from his ability to work, his aversion to this speculator was almost impatient.

The news brought by Zhou Rong did not surprise the old president, and when he saw the note, he knew that something was going to happen or had already happened in Xinluosong.

If there is no deep foundation, Han Jianfei will never dare to say that he will "open a new store" in Sillasson.

He sent the note to himself for four purposes.

First, Han Jianfei decided to do something in Silla Song more than half a year ago, and this time it is an official notice;

second, instead of using instant messaging, but by mail, it was a reminder from Han Jianfei to himself that he didn't want to interfere in this matter;

Third, Han Jianfei told himself that he should accept the conditions of Xinluosong, which can be regarded as fulfilling his promise to him;

Fourth, his own condition is that Mavis Shelton must be the de facto controller of New Luosong.

Although he was very unhappy, he had to admit that the kid who only survived under his wing five years ago was now qualified to make conditions with him.

"What conditions did Silla Song make?" The old president was stunned for a moment before he asked.

"First, the Union recognizes the autonomy of Silasson;" Zhou Rong knew that the old president was becoming more and more impatient with him, but when he thought of what Prime Minister Hanwei had explained, he patiently said cautiously, "Second, evacuate all the official institutions of the alliance from Xinluosong and keep only one liaison office; Thirdly, the armament level of the Sillasson local fleet is no longer subject to the "Local Defense Regulations". ”

These three conditions are exactly the same as those put forward by the Free Army, which launched a rebellion in Linghu Satellite six years ago, and can basically be characterized as a rebellion.

The Linghu satellite was very close to Fort Augustus, and the alliance fleet at that time still had the strength to quell the rebellion with the cooperation of the mercenaries of the White Mountain Company, and now the new Luo Song is located on the edge of the alliance's territory, and the alliance, which has been in a state of economic stagnation in recent years, no longer seems to have enough strength to start a war that spans more than four hundred light years.

For a long time, Augustusburg had always relied on asymmetric economic policies towards other administrative planets and colonies to maintain rapid development, and Feng Pinghai had long known that Linghu would not be a special case.

As the leaders of the younger generation, Han Jianfei and Chen Mingyuan have also discovered this problem a long time ago, two outstanding young people tried to solve this problem from two directions, but they became enemies with the same fire.

And the kind of monster that appeared in the Linghu counterinsurgency is still like a sword of Damocles, hanging high above the heads of the alliance and even the entire human race.

Although the people of Fort Augustus still enjoyed peace, prosperity and prosperity, the alliance at this moment was like a leaky house that needed to be torn down to make up for the west.

"What did Chancellor Hanwei say?" Thinking of this, the old president asked.

"Mr. Prime Minister said......" Zhou Rong was just about to speak, and suddenly quite, he was still nominally President Feng's chief of staff, so it seemed a little inappropriate to speak for Prime Minister Hanwei so blatantly, but he still held his glasses and said, "Mr. Hanwei's secretary found me and asked me to ask what you mean." ”

"This is something that Mr. Hanwei has to consider," Feng Pinghai waved his hand, "What are you looking for me for?" The Union Charter has changed? Does the prime minister need to report to the president for instructions? ”

Zhou Rong moved his lips and did not answer immediately.

But the old president understood at once.

It turned out that this note had already been seen by many people before it reached his hands.

Premier Hanwei's meaning is very clear: Since Han Jianfei is doing things in Xinluosong and clearly informs you of Feng Pinghai, I want to ask you what you think.

Unlike the Pan-Star Front and the Left Political Alliance, the Conservative Party has supporters in every executive star, and as an advocate for the interests of Augustusburg itself, it seems to have more reason to maintain the current landscape.

Feng Pinghai didn't have too many ideas, as early as when Han Jianfei made it clear that he would set up another portal sooner or later, he had thought that not only himself, but even the alliance would be powerless to prevent this from happening.

Even if he fully cooperated with Chen Mingyuan at that time, and even personally made the layout like Dong Ye Ya, let's assume that he could really kill Han Jianfei - a Han Jianfei died, and Li Jianfei Wang Jianfei Zhao Jianfei, this is inevitable.

In fact, there is no solution, like Chen Mingyuan, simply forcibly centralizing power and completely squeezing out the administrative stars and colonies, which is also a solution.

Who is right and wrong, he does not praise and said.

Just like Zhai Liu said, whoever survives to the end is right.

"Mr. Hanwei said that you have participated in the successful counterinsurgency in Linghu, and you have rich experience in this area." Zhou Rong had been secretly looking at the old president's expression, knowing that he had guessed the reason, before he spoke.

"Xinluosong is different from Linghu," Feng Pinghai thought for a while, and still said, "Let's try to talk about it first, if the talk collapses, if you really want to fight, military matters, let him ask Chen Mingyuan, the supply line of more than four hundred light years, how this battle should be fought." ”

Zhou Rong nodded, this is also the conclusion he came to after a private discussion with Prime Minister Hanwei's secretary.

"However," he propped his glasses again, "Prime Minister Hanwei has another thing to ask you to confirm, if the alliance wants to negotiate with Sinlasong, can you please come and talk to the other side in person?" ”

Feng Pinghai scolded his mother in a low voice.

Although Zhou Rong didn't say a few words after he came back, he had already made the meaning of Prime Minister Hanwei very clear: the Conservative Party does not want war, and Mr. Hanwei only wants to protect his own medical interests.

As for what will happen to Sila Song and what will happen to the alliance in the future, as long as it is not during his tenure under George Hanwei, that is the question for the next prime minister to consider.

The old president nodded: "Okay, I'll negotiate, but Mr. Hanwei must tell me what his bottom line is." ”

"Okay." Zhou Rong's heart that had been hanging finally let go, Mr. Hanwei's secretary once told him that after this matter was done, he would be transferred to the side of the foreign minister, which was the fastest position to be promoted.

"Then what are you still standing?" The old president said angrily, "Are you still waiting for me to invite you to coffee?" ”

Zhou Rong was stunned for a while, saluted, and left.

These days, as the head of the president's office, he spends less and less time with the president, and as long as he is not stupid, everyone knows what he is doing.

But even in the eyes of Mr. Hanwei, even in the eyes of Mr. Hanwei's secretary, this director of the presidential office who deliberately pretends to be mature with glasses is an out-and-out fool.

drove Zhou Rong away, and the old president had time to drink a good cup of coffee, the coffee he brewed before was already cold, and he poured it into the pot hanging on the fireplace and reheated it.

A destroyer in one mouth, one cup is a regional defense ship, and another cup is a regional control ship, such an expensive coffee, it would be too violent to pour it out.

The coffee was just hot, and before he could take a sip, his communicator suddenly rang.

The old president put down his cup and saw Chen Mingyuan's hologram on the communicator.

"Uncle Feng, are you busy?"

"It's not busy," the old president shook his head, "just wasted a regional defense ship." ”

Chen Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he was talking about, but he quickly returned to his topic: "You received the news, right?" ”

President Feng Pinghai looked at the middle-aged officer in a straight military uniform, and said angrily: "I'm the last one to receive it, right?" Have you already deployed it, and now you are coming to me to be held accountable? ”

Chen Mingyuan called with a personal communicator, needless to say, he also knew that what the other party wanted to tell him could not be those hypocritical official articles.

"Uncle Feng, I won't tell you anything, I received the news more than twenty days ago." Chen Mingyuan didn't hide it at all, "I knew it as soon as Han Jianfei sent it out, and I didn't tell you, because I was afraid that you would be in a hurry." ”

"I'm not in a hurry now, is I?" Feng Pinghai still didn't give him a good face.

"Uncle Feng, I don't have a deep grudge against Han Jianfei, I want to kill him because I know that he will come to this point sooner or later, if he dies at that time, the alliance may save a lot of worry."

"Killed? That idiot from Higashino Ya cooperated, privately mobilized the destroyer to bombard the capital star, and took three lives, you think it's safe, but the people ran to Silla Song alive and kicked you in the ass. ”

“…… Uncle Feng," Chen Mingyuan didn't continue with his words, "So, since I've come to this point, of course I have to settle this matter." ”

"How are you going to solve it?" The old president asked.

"I started preparing more than 20 days ago, and now there is a fleet on standby," Chen Mingyuan said, "and the strength is twice that of the local fleet in Xinluosong, and it can leave at any time as soon as the order of the Military Administration is signed." ”
