Chapter 386: The Struggling Michael
Closing his eyes and emptying his thoughts, Michael put his hands into his pocket, and suddenly inadvertently touched something, he took it out and flipped it in front of his eyes, and his cold face, which had been cold for many days, couldn't help but show a smile at this moment.
I've kept this gadget in my pocket, and I haven't remembered it for months, it's a small and delicate thing, it's Bill. The black tubular vaping device that Campbell left him......
He pushed the corner of the window, turned on the switch of the cigarette set, and took a deep breath, Campbell's cigarette was extremely well-made, it had not been used for a long time, and the e-liquid in it had not dried up.
He felt a sweet and rich propanol vapor echo through his nose, which temporarily relieved his suppressed spirit.
He exhaled the smoke and watched as they drifted between the window lattices, becoming an insignificant part of the fern vine atmosphere that enveloped the entire planet.
The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and Hermes's "Moonlight" was continuing its magical power, turning the heavy sky white, and the mischievous Providestown satellite had been doing this for a few days, but it didn't stop at all.
The boulder that pressed on his heart made Michael almost out of breath for the past few days, he enjoyed the silky and comfortable feeling between his lips and teeth, and unconsciously took one sip after another, until his tongue appeared astringent, and then reluctantly turned off the power and solemnly put the pipe in the inner pocket of his body.
The bell rang on the table at this time, Michael closed his eyes and sighed, only to feel that the pressure that had just been slowly released surrounded him again, he frowned tightly, and pressed the answer button.
"Say." He said impatiently.
"Your Excellency, it's Paul. Ron's phone. Claire, the secretary, told him.
"Pick it up." He hurriedly said.
Earlier today, in response to the media outlets that have shown strong interest in the resumption of the alliance after more than half a year, Michael sent cabinet spokesman Paul Murphy. Ron went to St. Johannes half-to stabilize the situation that might get out of hand, to keep the mouths of the unscrupulous reporters who were asking questions to get the scoop, and half-to get Ron to report to him in time on the voting facts of the bill.
At this time, the blue light of the table projector flashed, and the meticulous Paul who arranged the hair line. Ron's image pops up quickly.
"Haydn, big news!" Ron in the holographic projection maintains his usual opening line. "With 166 votes in favor and 103 against, Balde's motion to declare war has been preliminarily ruled by the Parliament!"
"What? How can it be? Michael was shocked.
Michael's look obviously wanted to satisfy Ron, who was uncomfortable alone, and he said with a bitter face: "That's right, this is to everyone's surprise, although the Cooperative Party also has more than a dozen MPs on the spot, but after all, it can't resist the votes of the majority of the Italian Party MPs, and the two rival parties have reached a strange and unprecedented agreement today. Caranella scolded Alan on the spot. Hayes, the old fellow was dying of anger from the unusual actions of his own party. ”
Vote for the Self-Willed Party! And Wen Zhong made an appointment with Skaya before, and sure enough! Michael's heart was agitated, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
His treacherous schemes...... Have you succeeded?
"The bill has reached the stage of the Unity vote, and according to their usual habit, they should give up the veto power and leave the decision-making power in the hands of the speaker of the parliament." Ron pursed his thin lips, oblivious to Michael's gaffe. "But the Cooperative Party has made such a big move in the end, it is estimated that it is still no fun, Shen Yuehe has always taken opposition to the conflict with the Vokken people as a military position in the past few decades, and at this stage, he has a trump card in his hand that can embarrass Chairman Wen, and I think he will definitely implement the veto."
Really? Will he? Michael was in a state of confusion at this time, but he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
He remembered that before Valkyria's miracle, the wise old man had confided to him, telling him that he was not alone, that there were more 'adults' with conscience and wisdom who were watching the situation and would launch an offensive at the most appropriate and critical time to clean up the threat.
It was he who pointed out Wen Zhong's motives, his desires, his desire to seek more power......
It was he who came to the conclusion in advance that Wen Zhong wanted to enter into a long war with the Vulkens......
It was this invincible veteran general in his military career who accurately predicted Fazzani's competence, and under the premise that everything in the operation was sung down by the Military Council, the guy who created Zoroaster's shame gave everyone a surprise......
Despite this, Michael still tugs at his heart, he has a hidden thought in his heart, but he never dares to face it, but those doubts, those doubts that can change everything...... It is also tormenting his emotions all the time.
Why did Moon Chung choose him as the pro tempore speaker of the parliament?
Under the premise that Shen Yuehe is obviously opposed to him in many political opinions, and can completely prevent him from entering the final list, why should he give Shen Yuehe the green light, which is equivalent to sending the old man Gong to the throne that can make him miserable?
Why?
Michael had a thought that had been haunting him for days, but he was unwilling to face the facts.
It can't be, it can't be.
His sanity was comforting himself.
