Chapter 566: No Dictatorship
Wu Xue wanted to follow Zhang Lan all the time, not even a minute or a second, but she soon knew that it was inconvenient for men to take women by their side when they sometimes did things.
So Wuxue was arranged in the side hall, and Alice quietly became her assistant.
In Gu Xuan's place, Wuxue had already tasted the most delicious food and the most luxurious enjoyment in the world, and all Alice could do was make an English afternoon tea for her and prepare some pastries.
"Delicious?!" Wuxue also tasted afternoon tea in the past, and at that time, Gu Xuan introduced that it was concocted by the royal butler of the traditional aristocratic family who invited the sun never sets, but it was not as delicious as Alice's brewing.
"Miss Wuxue likes it." In the face of praise, Alice also calmly continued the brewing action in her hand.
Alice...... Have you known Zhang Lan for a long time? Wu Xue asked curiously, she didn't know where to make up for Zhang Lan's blank during this time.
"For about half a year, I received him when he came to the Imperial Group, and I was going to rebel with death, but he never let me die, and then I lived to this day." Alice smiled slightly.
"Zhang Lan is a very gentle person, he is always trying to protect others." Wuxue said happily.
"But sometimes, we don't want him to be so gentle, and everyone he takes care of means more burdens for him, and sometimes it makes us feel more pressured to be cared for by him. Maybe we would have been better off if he had sacrificed us like ordinary people in power. ”
"Nope! They all deserve to live! You can eat delicious food, see beautiful flowers, and drink delicious tea while you are alive, so why die so easily? Without life, there is nothing! Wuxue said firmly.
Looking at Wu Xue's serious appearance, Alice couldn't help but be surprised, but then she was relieved, "I finally understand a little bit, why Lord Zhang Lan is willing to be the enemy of the world for you, because you are really worthy of him doing this." ”
"I don't quite understand what you mean?" Wuxue is too simple, and sometimes she can't understand it when she says it deeply.
"Don't understand, I'm actually complimenting you, you're cute." Alice Pear Vortex smiled lightly.
"Thank you." Wuxue's face turned a little red.
While Alice and Wuxue were chatting casually, the atmosphere in the conference room next to them was extremely depressing.
Zhang Lan, who turned into a gray-haired man, sat at the head of the long conference table, which belonged to the chairman's throne, while Zack, the minister of industry, sat opposite, and the two ends of a long table were filled with as many as 60 leaders of various departments, among which Galileo was probably the only one who might stand on Zhang Lan's side.
"Lord Zhang Lan, do you want to listen to the comprehensive report from your debriefing to the current Imperial Group?" Zach was holding a crystal computer board in his hand.
"Actually, it's not necessary, because I pay attention to these data every day, and I believe that the error of your data is less than 0.2%." Zhang Lan said calmly.
"In the previous life of the Imperial Group, it was a capitalist country, and all our decisions must be considered based on financial reports, just look at the financial reports after you took office...... In half a year, the growth data of the Imperial Group is 673%, which is equal to our growth rate in the past 500 years, the national unemployment rate is zero, no matter what level of citizens, the happiness rate is close to 80%, all people have food, do not worry about tomorrow, all people feel that we have hope, there is hope for the future, as a member of the Imperial Group, there is an unprecedented sense of honor. ”
"Let's talk about our military strength, Gu Xuan has fallen, we have the most powerful heaven-level demigod corps in the world, a full-capacity ordnance production line, and enough military reserves, we can even wage war against any 3 groups at the same time, and guarantee to win 1 game, draw 1 game, and drag 1 game."
"No matter what data you look at, we are already the strongest on the earth today, and this strength is even more terrifying than when Gu Xuan was in charge of the Overlord Group."
Zach once made an agreement with Zhang Lan to give Zhang Lan 1 year, no matter what the final result is, Zhang Lan must hand over the position of chairman.
But Zach now deeply understands that taking over the position of chairman from Zhang Lan, no matter who it is, will not be able to do this kind of performance.
Is it better to follow a fierce general to charge into battle, or to enjoy the false name of a chairman but be mediocre to death?
Obviously, everyone here has actually been completely conquered by Zhang Lan, and they hope that Zhang Lan can show his ambition to dominate the world, so that everyone can become the first camp to truly unify the world.
This kind of unification is very different from the playful name of the federal government.
"I know exactly what people are expecting. No matter how you look at it, this time the economic sanctions of the various groups are the best time, and they want to completely unify the world with a wave of strong response, buy all the other groups, and even if they meet the resistance, they can be brought to their knees with military force, everyone, do you want me to fight a world war? Zhang Lan sighed helplessly, "I'm sorry, I can't fulfill everyone's wishes." ”
"No, this is not our wish, but the world needs you to stand up strongly!" Zach said a little fanatically, "Lord Zhang Lan, look at the current world, the federal government is mediocre and incompetent, and all groups have their own ghosts, and they have no sense of solidarity and mutual assistance, just for selfish desires. God is waiting for an opportunity, ready to destroy human civilization at any time, of course, there is Gu Xuan in space, they are already close to the state of space pirates, no more group of space ships dare to go out to mine, all the universe mining areas, no matter which group of them are, have been destroyed by Gu Xuan. Continuing to maintain this kind of resource, after a maximum of 10 years, Gu Xuan will have a space fleet that cannot be fought against at all, and the earth will still go to extinction. ”
Zach tried his best to persuade Zhang Lan to take a road of dominance.
"Yes, all external conditions are forcing us to move towards the road of hegemony, but the more we are in this state, the more we must remember, why did human civilization come to this field?" Zhang Lan's rhetorical question left everyone speechless, "It's greed, greed for power, greed for domination, every war, every self-destruction, just like today, it feels like everything is so taken for granted, and then brings humanity to the brink of destruction." ”
"Nope! You are different from those dictators, your decisiveness and determination are to bring the world in a good direction, you are the savior! Zach is extremely convinced of this, if there is still a glimmer of possibility of redemption in this world, it must be brought by Zhang Lan.
"No, I'm not a savior, I'm just like you, I'm an ordinary person with emotions and desires, ordinary people are prone to inflation, because of inflation, I lost two very good friends, and now I have become helpless about their safety, I blame myself and I'm afraid. I was afraid that I would really go down the path of dictatorship, and deceive myself into using war and a small sacrifice to save the world. ”
"Since saving the world, aren't you, me, and anyone out there a part of the world? What kind of bullshit redemption is sacrificing a small part of the world in order to save most of the world? It's just an excuse for those in power to dominate the world. It can't be sacrificed, since it's justice, a person, a life, can't be sacrificed! "Zhang Lan is so determined.
