Chapter 33: A slap in the face

Jian Fan has told Vito about today's situation, today is a luncheon for the Heman patriarch to return to the Donghu city-state from the Jinghua city-state, the Jinghua city-state is the intercontinental city-state of the Asian continent, the intercontinental senate is located in the landmark building of the Jinghua city-state, the Temple of Heaven, which is the center of power in the Asian continent, and the center of world power is located in the city of the sun on the top of the Des Mountain in America, and the great senate composed of eighteen supreme senators is located in the sun temple in the city of the sun. Legend has it that it is the place where human beings are most likely to touch the soul of the main god, a forbidden place where only reverence and worship are accepted, a dream place that exists in the imagination of mundane mortals, but is forever shrouded in infinite mysteries.

From the perspective of the city-state itself, the Seaman senator is the representative of the interests of the city-state of Donghu in the intercontinental senate, and a large city-state like Donghu usually has two senators, while the city-state with a population of less than 10 million is not even qualified to send a representative of interests. Director Jane quietly told Vito that the name of the other senator is Sergei, and these two elders will alternately enter Jinghua City in normal times, and once the Intercontinental Senate holds a major meeting or exercises the right to vote on decision-making, they will rush to Jinghua City at the same time, this time Elder Seaman is returning to Donghu City with Sergei Patriarch on alternate duty, and every time the state council will set up a grand reception banquet for them, this time is no exception, and because there is a period of time not in the city-state, although there will be a parliamentary briefing on the management of the city-state, However, there is always something that is not well understood, so when the patriarch returns, he will usually convene the top administrators of the main functional departments of the city-state, and they will report on the affairs of the city-state during his absence, so as to understand the current operation and management of the city-state.

It seems to be a very ordinary debriefing meeting, but it has subtly become a very important informal meeting system, and it is also a meeting that various politicians in the city-state are very concerned about, through these forms, you can show the political wrestling of each political system, and a great opportunity to show your style, so all political forces, including the speaker, attach great importance to it and will make adequate preparations. Jian Fan was not qualified to participate in such a grand banquet, but as the personal entourage of the highest magistrate of Donghu City, they were qualified to wait in a side hall next door, with special meals and tea, but they could not enter the main banquet hall and walk around.

Jian Fan pulled Jason, Lennon, and Vito to sit at a table near the door of the side hall, and the door between the two halls was open, from which they could observe the situation at the main table of the banquet hall, and could see the side face of their Director Dupont.

The service staff brought their ration of lunch and drinks to the table, Jian Fan and they had obviously eaten before, so it was not strange, and Vito was still a novelty, because the meal was very exquisite, each person had a black pepper steak, a foie gras, a small caviar, a meat soup soup, a bread, and a glass of Gallic lunch wine, such a rich lunch was the most extravagant lunch Vito had ever eaten in this world after being synthesized, and the color that matched it was just right to make people salivate, And once you do it, it's even more enjoyable, if you don't pay attention to the image, Vito can almost bite off the fork and break his teeth. He secretly said to himself, the food in front of him was so delicious, what kind of dishes would be delicious in the banquet hall next door, Vito couldn't imagine.

In fact, when they were eating, the banquet hall next door had not yet opened, but the tables inside were already full, and all the councillors found the seats marked with their seat cards, and then waited quietly in their positions, and they did not know that they came out of that corner, and some people were applauding, clapping their palms loudly, one and two, two and endlessly, and later, the applause was like a tide, coming from the entrance of the banquet hall, and the waves rose layer by layer. Through the walls and aisles, Vito saw an elderly man about 60 years old in a suit and bow tie walking into the hall from the direction of the banquet hall, waving to the members of the parliament as he walked.

The applause lasted for a long time, and the Heman patriarch stepped into the guest of honor at the main table in the middle of the banquet hall, circled around, raised his hands and fists, smiled, and shook his head, and then the applause slowly stopped, and the patriarch also sat down in his seat.

His first place on the left is the position of the master, that is, the position of Zhu Tong, the current speaker of the East Shanghai City State, and the position of Nan Ze, the commander of the internal security forces of the East Shanghai City State, and further down, Zhu Tong's left head is the position of Du Peng, and further down, the top executives of the various administrative departments of the East Shanghai City State and the members of the parliament.

On behalf of all the legal citizens of the 27 districts of the Donghu City-State, he expressed his most respectful greetings and heartfelt thanks to the Elder He-Man for his contribution to the Donghu City-State, and made hard efforts for the Donghu City-State, but a small group of violent rebels in the Donghu City-State tried to overthrow the rule of the parliament, usurp the power of the city-state, conspire to rebel, and launch riots, and the activities have been rampant recently. The police department of the city-state of Donghu bears an unshirkable responsibility for the chaos and destructiveness of the city-state, and has failed to live up to the sacred duty entrusted by the parliament, and is worthy of the trust and high hopes of Heman and Senator Sergei.

Speaker Zhu Tong's speech immediately caused a commotion of emotional instability, and the members present whispered to each other or exchanged their inner thoughts with their eyes. And Du Peng, who was sitting next to Zhu Tong, was even more white and red on his face, cloudy and uncertain, and a trace of suppressed anger hung between his eyebrows, which could not be concealed. Du Pong didn't expect that Zhu Tong, as the speaker of the parliament, would suddenly make provocative and highly targeted remarks at this time, openly questioning himself, and without warning or warning, this is undoubtedly a message to all levels of society, that is, the speaker's serious dissatisfaction with the sheriff is very detrimental to the stability and unity within the city-state, and it is a naked slap in the face.

Of course, Jian Fan and the others also heard the speaker's speech, and they were all stunned, and they couldn't understand it even more, at this moment, Speaker Zhu Tong made a mistake, and he actually wanted to expose the problem in such a way in such a large public, if from the perspective of political struggle, this is a blatant declaration of war.
