Chapter 293: Good Afternoon, Good Dreams
Hearing Tanaka Baie's question, Lu An shook his head.
"Do you know what Masahara Kobayashi is doing at home these days?"
"Do what?" Tanaka asked, looking out at the undulating hills in the distance.
"This year is the election year of the Supreme Council of Mankind, and exactly 13 of the 222 seats on Union Peak have reached retirement age. Kobayashi Masahin has been the deputy consul of the fourth district for more than ten years, and he is so young, if he can occupy one of those 222 chairs now, and when he is eighty years old in another thirty years, the future is really exciting to think about. ”
"He wants to be a delegate to the Supreme Council now?" Tanaka Baie was surprised: "He is not yet fifty years old, right?" And, isn't it that there has always been a proposal in the Supreme Council to extend the retirement age? ”
"Hehe, it's always been like this. However," Lu An shrugged his shoulders and said: "Originally, the Supreme Council was ridiculed as the Senate, and those hundred-and-ten-year-old grandfathers were all trembling, and they still refused to go home to retire, and the giants on the United Peak had long been displeasing to the eye." The aspiring young people below them, hehe, also want to sit in that position early and do their best for the cause of mankind! ”
Tanaka Baie suddenly realized, no wonder Kobayashi Masashin suddenly became warm with the Tanaka family before, and wanted to marry him. It turns out that there are such reasons behind this, and it is no wonder that Heijiro Tanaka, a good father, suddenly cares about his daughter's marriage, after all, the Tanaka family has not made their voice heard on the United Peak for a long time since the death of his grandfather.
"So, Kobayashi Masasin has a great chance this time?"
Lu An nodded and said, "I also just learned that the old man in the fourth district, who has been a consul for more than thirty years, has been ordered to retire home this time, and he is among the 13 people." ”
"Really?" Tanaka Hyakue was even more surprised, "So, Kobayashi Masatin may not only be elected as a representative of the Supreme Council, but may even become the archon of the Fourth District?" ”
"If nothing else goes wrong, it is." Lu An smiled bitterly: "Even, this may be our last chance." After all, he is still in the 4th arrondissement, and everything is a rumor; If he arrives at Union Peak and the dust settles, then we probably won't have a chance to get any closer to him at all. ”
"Then why is he still here? Isn't the plenary session of the Supreme Council going to be held in two weeks? ”
Lu An glanced at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and said with a smile: "It's not good for him to form a gang on United Peak and gather the support of all forces." Wouldn't that make it seem that our Supreme Council of Mankind is a place where we are privately taught? Therefore, during this time, he has been staying at his home, holding various drinking parties and dances every day, which is said to have lasted for more than a week. ”
"I see."
However, these activities are nearing the end, and he could leave Rocket City and head to Union Peak at any moment. I got the news that most of the guests at tonight's reception had something to do with Mars and Europa, and if he even managed to get the people from these outer planets, then there would be no need to stay at home anymore, and he would leave for Union Peak immediately. ”
"That means tonight may be the last chance."
Lu An sighed: "Yes, although in the scheduled arrangement, there will be a drinking party at his house tomorrow, but it is not ruled out that he may change his itinerary." ”
Tanaka Baie nodded, and said curiously: "This year's Supreme Council is re-elected, why are even Mars and Europa involved?" ”
"Over the years, Europa has submitted a proposal to change its name to Europa every year, wanting to upgrade from the satellite class to the planetary level, but it has been rejected every year, and they are naturally unwilling. After all, this was the armistice condition that our earth promised them in the war back then, but now it has been delayed for ten years, and now they want to win in the chaos while the Supreme Council is re-elected! ”
Ten years ago, Lu Yingbang led the 2nd Independent Special Fleet of the Combined Space Fleet, and after breaking through the "Titan" fortress in the asteroid belt, he did not turn back to attack Mars with the Combined Fleet, but directly marched to Europa, forcing the old principal to sign an alliance under the city.
It's just that although Europa's main fleet was assigned to the Outer Planet Joint Defense Fleet and stationed far away from Mars, its home planet was not powerless. In order to end the war, Lu Yingbang not only coerced with the big stick of force, but also extended a hand of inducement, and one of the conditions for those coercion and inducement was that the government after the war was upgraded, from a satellite-level "Europa" to a planetary-level "Europa".
It's just that the earth, which has won a great victory after the war and is also devastated by its vitality, does not want to see the emergence of a planetary government with an ambiguous position and a vacillating attitude, which will not only divide the resources of the entire human world - the earth government hopes to invest it in the transformation and construction of Venus, but also increase Europa's bargaining chips in the future.
Earth, which fought alone in the last war, does not trust any other planet.
Moreover, the person who promised to end the war peacefully at that time was the dead Lu Yingbang, and Europa, who could not produce any evidence of the agreement, could only be bitter and unable to speak, and used the proposal to exert pressure at the supreme meeting every year. And Earth, in the name of the development of Venus, has successfully vetoed Europa's proposal to upgrade Europa ten times, as the prerogative of the victor of the last war, it is the natural power of the Earth government to control the forward course of the entire human world.
One of the routes is to pave the way from the earth to the outer space of the solar system, to develop outward from generation to generation, to occupy the great planets of the solar system, and at the same time to wait for the accumulation of technology in the human world, in the hope of being able to break through into deep space in one fell swoop in the future.
Developing from the earth to the solar system, centering around the sun based on Venus and Mercury, carrying out a "slingshot effect" catapult in space, constantly accelerating generations of human beings out of the solar system, and resolutely rushing into deep space in the form of a space relay migration, this is the second route.
The war in human history ten years ago certainly had a variety of profound and complex factors, but simply put, it was only caused by the contradiction between the above two routes.
As a result, the transformation progress of Venus was greatly accelerated, while Europa was stuck in the threshold of upgrading to a planetary-level government, after all, the resources of the human world are not unlimited.
These things are already an open secret at the top of the human world.
Although Tanaka Baie didn't care about this, he was born in a political family, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, he also understood what Lu An said.
She nodded, "I see." In this way, they will definitely not let go of the opportunity to win over Kobayashi Zhengxin, and Kobayashi Zhengxin is afraid that he will hit it off with them this time. ”
"Hmm."
He ......, he is so young, can he really get his wish this time? Is he the youngest delegate to the Supreme Council in human history? ”
Lu An shook his head and said, "Not really, but if he really becomes one, he can be regarded as one of the very young delegates to the Supreme Council." ”
The reason why Lu An was so sure was that he knew that at least the old man in his family had been sitting at the seat of the Supreme Council for several years at the age of Kobayashi Masashi.
"If my father hadn't died, I'm afraid it would have been earlier than the old man, and in terms of his exploits back then, the seat of the Supreme Council was just a matter of grabbing."
Lu An added in his heart, and then smiled slightly:
"Of course, that won't be until he becomes a man."
The two were silent for a while, discussing for so long, Kobayashi Zhengxin was also in front of them, just a few kilometers in front of them, but as the deputy consul of one of the three most developed regions on the earth, Kobayashi Zhengxin must have a strong security force around him. Lu An and Tanaka Baie are only two lonely people, although Lin Yonghuan provided a lot of information to Lu An, but she is far away on Mars, and the Lin family is not so strong on Earth, so it is easy to sneak into the home of an archon.
"So, what if we act tonight?"
Lu An hesitated for a moment and said, "If it were normal times, we would definitely not be able to sneak into Xiao Lin Zhengxin's side, but tonight he feasted those people from the outer planets, so we just had the opportunity to blend in." Therefore, we should first have the right identity to enter his house, and we should enter it openly. Otherwise, with Kobayashi Masashi's current identity, it is likely that there are already special services officers of the Special Security Bureau around us, and if we want to sneak in, the risk of being discovered is too great. ”
"And what about when we sneak in?"
"Find an opportunity for Kobayashi to be alone, use the authority of the organization, take over all the permissions in his room, and isolate all security personnel outside for a while, so that I have a chance to do it."
"You're going to face him alone?" Tanaka Baie heard Lu An's subtext.
"Well, on the one hand, the two of us need to cooperate, and at the moment when the organization's permissions are reopened, we will take over all the network permissions in his home before he can react. Otherwise, when he reacts and enters the organization to compete with us for authority, the situation will be at a stalemate. In that case, if we were negligent, we wouldn't be able to keep the security personnel out, so we would have to tie them up. ”
Tanaka Baie frowned and thought for a while, then said, "So, the key question now is how should we enter his house tonight?" And how do you make sure that Masashi Kobayashi has the opportunity to be alone? And then again, how do we work together to isolate Kobayashi from the security personnel around him? ”
"Well, you're right." Lu An nodded, lowered his voice and said a few words in Tanaka Baie.
Tanaka Baie's brows furrowed even tighter, and she asked hesitantly, "What if I fail?" ”
"So, the two of us are going to cover each other inside and outside, and in case I am discovered, you immediately return to the hotel and ask my friend for help. Even if my identity is revealed, it doesn't matter, my friend will at least be able to get me out of Kobayashi's house alive. ”
"But—" Tanaka Momoe took a deep breath and said, "How are we going to communicate with each other to make sure we can cooperate with each other?" ”
Lu An lowered her head and whispered a few words in Tanaka Baie's ear, although she was still frowning, her face softened, and finally nodded and agreed.
"Well, although you are vengeful, you still have to pay attention, take care and be safe."
Lu An replied with a smile, "I will." ”
The two of them, who had been standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window for a long time, returned to the living room, sat and whispered for a while before the discussion was finished.
"After such a long journey today, and we have to keep our energy up at night, let's rest first. What we need, we won't be able to deliver until at least the evening. ”
Lu An yawned slightly, he barely rested last night, and he was already tired after hurrying again.
"Okay."
Hyakue Tanaka stood up and said, "Good afternoon, good dreams!" Hope everything goes well tonight! ”
"yes, I hope everything goes well tonight!"
Lu An also stood up and said so.
At the end of the month, catch up with the holidays and update a chapter.
Thank you!
