Chapter 72: Seeking a Truce
Commissioner Anna was anxious, she didn't expect that Shu Yunpeng would be attacked in Central City. For Anna, Shu Yunpeng was the trump card of her human resurrection plan, and if he died, it would be over. Therefore, she asked for four more guards for Shu Yunpeng.
This time, Shu Yunpeng's head is really big. How to save Xiang Zidan and them, he hasn't found a way yet, and now he is giving him four beauties, isn't it asking for his life!
"These four should be just guards, right?"
"Same as the previous one, double duty!" Anna leaves no room for categorization.
"Okay......" Since there is no room for accommodation, Shu Yunpeng doesn't want to talk nonsense: "I still have something to say, that is, the matter of negotiating with the Jones people should be carried out as soon as possible." ”
"Do you think it's really necessary?" Anna pondered for a moment and asked rhetorically.
"Yes."
"Sooner or later, the threat of the Jones will be eliminated," said Anna, "and now, if we cease war with them, it will be on the basis of defeat." They are still in our solar system, so is it necessary to stop the war in such a hurry in such an unfavorable situation? ”
"We can't defeat them once and for all, and drive them out of the solar system, you know that very well. Commissioner Anna, if you can't do it, why bother holding on? Do you have to do this thing of death to save face and live to suffer? ”
Anna silently. Shu Yunpeng saw that she still refused to let go, so he continued: "A large part of the instability in the earth's interior is that we are always in a state of war. For example, anti-** armed ...... For example, some large companies, in order to maximize their own interests, use the threat of the Jones people to delay the development of resources, and ask the committee to increase the mining allowance......"
"You know that, too?" Anna looked at Shu Yunpeng and was surprised.
"Don't think that if you don't reveal it, others won't be able to see it!" Shu Yunpeng smiled: "Many phenomena, such as some resource manufacturers are often short of raw materials and cannot start work, etc., seeing these, you can judge what happened with a little thought......
"A truce will solve these contradictions?"
"At least the excuses are gone! The war is over, there is no threat, if the supply of raw materials is not available, who is responsible, isn't it easy to figure out? Shu Yunpeng said: "Moreover, once the war is stopped, the people's mentality will also change, which is also beneficial to social stability." ”
"Okay, the next regular meeting of the committee will discuss the truce." What Shu Yunpeng said was reasonable, and Anna accepted it.
Finally got some results, he could get close to the Jones people and understand what he wanted to know, Shu Yunpeng breathed a sigh of relief. His spirit of ownership of "the people being the masters of the country" brought over from the twentieth century is being forgotten by his world, but here it encourages him to forge ahead.
"You're really good, you can actually make Anna listen to you!" Claire was surprised: "Your reasons are actually only a possibility, not absolute. ”
"If you use strong words, you have to have three points of reason, otherwise it will be impossible to convince people." Shu Yunpeng said proudly.
"Come on," Claire smiled, "why can't you convince Anna about that?" Okay, now that there are eight, are you busy? ”
"You! ……”
Claire laughed, and Shu Yunpeng opened his mouth. He glared, but Claire smiled even more.
"If you laugh at me again, I'll flatten you!" He grabbed Claire, pressed her down on the couch, and slapped her ass twice: "Laugh again, see if I don't beat you flat!" ”
Claire finally stopped laughing and said, "Forget it, I won't laugh anymore...... When are you going to negotiate? ”
"I don't know, isn't this just a matter of discussion for the committee? When they're done with the ink, they'll put it into action. ”
"Well, you'll have to wait passively......" Claire nodded, "You don't want to mention that, but I'm going to say a few words anyway." Xiang Zidan's affairs, it's not that I don't want to help, but I really can't help. The committee summoned me about your attack and asked me for a long time. In the end, they instructed me to eliminate the anti-** forces in Central City as soon as possible. ”
"O angry commander! Why don't you tell them bluntly that the cause of this chaos is the defeat of the war against the Jones! The defeat in the war caused popular discontent and turned into riots...... Responsibility for this series of incidents has never attracted attention, and those responsible have not been held accountable......"
"Forget it, I can't chase it!" Claire said frustratedly: "You also attended that meeting, and most of the attendees, most of the committee members, were in favor of sending troops. The law does not hold the public accountable, if it must be investigated, it is equivalent to holding most people accountable, how can they be held accountable? ”
Shu Yunpeng was speechless. If a collective mistake is made and no individual is involved, the result is that everyone can only pretend to be stupid. The drawbacks of this so-called democracy, which are often repeated again and again, cannot be overcome, and this is the so-called least bad system.
On the other hand, it would not be much better for one person to make the final decision. If Anna is asked to be this person, her first decision may be to cancel the regulation that cannot force access to resources, and the first person to suffer is him Shu Yunpeng! ……
He shook his head involuntarily, unable to think any more. Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Claire shook her head inexplicably and smiled.
"Embarrassed, huh?"
"Yes," Shu Yunpeng admitted, "it's really embarrassing...... Why didn't Zhang Jingyi come? When she encountered such a thing before, she would have been in a hurry a long time ago! ”
"What, you miss her?"
"Hehe, I don't think she can talk about it, I just think she's been a little abnormal lately."
"I think she's normal," Claire said, "and there's a kind of awakening in the depths of my consciousness that can't be said to be abnormal...... Of course, it's not normal to say it's not normal. There's no one who can help with this kind of thing, unless ......"
Claire said this, pursed her lips and smiled, and said no more.
"What do you mean?"
"Unless you're willing to help her, because only you can help her!"
"Why did you get involved with me again?" Shu Yunpeng was puzzled, but then he realized again: "Why are they all like taking the wrong medicine, and they have gone crazy!" ”
"Got it?" Claire said with a smile: "People are already full of you, and now that there are four more beauties around you, it may be even more troublesome next......"
Shu Yunpeng didn't say a word, he was already dizzy. Seeing him meditating hard, he was very troubled, and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for him: "Do you want to hear my opinion?" ”
"Tell me about it!"
"If I were you, I would simply give up the preconceived notions that I had brought from your world, go to the Academy of Sciences myself, and offer to provide resources a few times. In that case, Anna won't be in a hurry to send beautiful women to you at every turn...... Isn't that what she wants to be a child? ”
Shu Yunpeng listened quietly and did not say a word.
"That way, you'll be quiet, and you won't have to worry about the future of those girls anymore!" Claire saw that he didn't refute, so she continued to say her opinion: "As for Zhang Jingyi, you and her are frozen there, and no one is willing to take the last step. But sooner or later the impasse will be broken...... How to break, I don't need to say, in fact, you already know what to do! ”
"What do I think, you were sent by Anna?" Shu Yunpeng said with a smile.
"No, absolutely not! I'm just saying what I think as a friend! ”
"I'm joking, don't take it seriously!" Shu Yunpeng said, smiling weirdly: "You said that Zhang Jingyi and I, what if the result of breaking the deadlock is the same as you and me, it is another deadlock?" ”
Claire laughed, "Then leave it to fate!" ”
