Chapter 606: Political Commentary
The short and fat man who came out of the crowd had an arrogant look on his face, he looked left and right with his head held high, and seemed to be a little nervous, but then straightened his chest and strode in front of Ying Fengxiao.
"Sure enough, Councillor Adams, I wonder if you will be the first of the few remaining to stand up and speak out." Under the direct gaze of the other party without being discouraged, Ying Fengxiao looked back at him quite interestingly, and her face couldn't help but be soaked with a smile.
"I know who you are." Adams plucked up courage and said. "Ying Fengxiao, the leader of the branch of the Boat Folk Return Sect, have committed such a heinous crime, are you crazy?"
"As the head of the Joint Council's War Situation Committee, you're familiar with your area of responsibility, Congressman Adams." Win Feng Xiao gave him a thumbs up. "But what have I sinned?" She asked with a grin.
"Attack the Four Seasons escort fleet of the Silver Alliance Navy, forcibly occupy civilian spaceships, and illegally detain passengers! Do you want me to tell you? Adams said angrily.
"But I don't see anything wrong with this, are these crimes?" Ying Fengxiao pursed her lips and smiled.
"Pretending to be stupid, I don't know whether I am dead or alive! If you break the law, you will be punished as you deserve! Adams said.
"Which law?" Ying Fengxiao asked.
"The Constitution of the Silver Alliance!" Adams yelled.
"So when did we join the Alliance?" Ying Fengxiao asked Adams with a smile, which made the latter speechless.
"It's not about affiliation, it's about common sense, can boat people's organizations not distinguish between right and wrong? Don't you have the law? Adams said angrily.
"Live as much as you can, that's the law of the boatmen, and it's the premise of everything, you see, our garbage boat is too old, and there happens to be a brand new cruise ship here, and it can fit the garbage guys in my ten boats, in order to survive, we want to grab it and you won't let it, so we have to go crazy, put on an eye-catching fireworks show, black a few dumb robots, and finally we came here to discuss with you about the law and common sense." Ying Fengxiao's voice is crisp and calm, and she is always laughing when she speaks.
"Why this time?" Adams asked as she finished.
"What?" Ying Fengxiao raised her eyebrows slightly.
"If you're going to grab the Four Seasons, there's been so much opportunity over the decades, and I'm asking why at this juncture?" Adams explained with some frustration.
"Are you finally willing to switch to a more pragmatic tone? Gee...... Congressman Adams, this is not like the joint council full of justice and morality......" Ying Fengxiao narrowed his eyes.
"Putting politics aside for the time being, I just want to know the facts." Adams doesn't seem to want to theorize. "There's also the right to know." He thought for a moment and said.
"Guess." Ying Fengxiao pursed her lips and looked at him, looking very relaxed under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, as if she was enjoying it.
"The swearing-in ceremony tragedy! You're taking advantage of the chaos! Adams said categorically, having reimagined the event throughout the day, and as a politician, he had clearly taken into account some of the rhetoric used for negotiation.
"Everyone knows that the boat people live a miserable life, Miss Feng Xiao, we have long been aware of the injustices of the Silver Alliance against the boat people's homecoming, and we have also thought about trying to improve it." His tone suddenly slowed down, and his face was sincere.
"Really?" Ying Fengxiao's eyes couldn't help but widen when she heard this.
"Of course." Adams nodded vigorously. "As an opposition lawmaker, we have been blocking the passage of the so-called 'Yitong Solution' for many years."
"And did it pass?" Ying Fengxiao asked with a wink.
"Although the result did not go as expected, it was only related to the number of seats in the parliament, in fact, we also tried to increase the ration of the civilian goods in Falkus."
"So has it increased?"
"This still has something to do with the dictatorship of the Cooperative Party, Miss Fengxiao, I just want to say that you are not isolated......" Adams still did not give up, he began to state one by one, trying to explain to Ying Fengxiao his "exploits" to the boat people in Angel City, but Ying Fengxiao did not interrupt this time, just listened with a smile.
"What the hell is this little fat man trying to say?" During Adams' rambling statement, Roger, who was sitting in front of the rockery and gradually losing his patience, couldn't help but ask Jonny.
"Show that he's a good guy." Jonny told him.
"And then?" Roger then asked.
"See what you get...... Maybe ......" Jonny shrugged his shoulders.
"Claim a non-existent reward from a pirate leader who has the upper hand? He thought that opening his mouth twice like this would make people grateful to let everyone go? Roger shook his head in disbelief.
"Why are these politicians always like this? Saying unrealistic lines, with disgusting hypocrisy, in fact, they are like those villains in the Xianmulin movie, Barabala, who said cruel things in cowhide coaxing, and then was beaten up by an inconspicuous supporting role in the next second. Roger said with a bit of anger as he put on an exaggerated expression and waved his arms in front of him, and Jonny looked at him with a knowing smile.
"I mean, shouldn't these guys, who have been immersed in deceit all day long, be exquisite, clever eggs with eight petals? Why do people always look like naïve young children? Don't they really understand? At this point, no pleading and threatening words can change the other party's mind, and the only thing to do is to shut up and be at the mercy of others. ”
"They get it, and it was from the beginning." Jonny offers an opinion.
"Then which one of these non-stop talking guys is acting?" Roger asked, puzzled.
"I don't know." Jonny replied with the corners of his mouth curled. "It's a matter of habit, I think, an occupational disease or something." He winked at Roger, who cooperated in a flash of realization.
At this time, in the center of the rooftop, Ying Fengxiao finally politely interrupted the chattering Adams.
"I'd like to answer that question you just asked, Councillor Adams." She smiled.
"That's just the beginning." Adams immediately held his head high.
