Chapter 37: The Lost Leader (Cullen's Biography)
My name is Karen and I was born into a prominent family. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
My parents used to be very powerful, which made my childhood very comfortable.
From an early age, I had a natural aptitude for discerning whether others were acting in good or bad faith towards me, and I had a good sense of what was being done to someone who was deliberately approaching me for the sake of power in my family.
I don't hate those people either, after all, whatever they're for, and their flattery makes me enjoy it.
Growing up in the best family, being educated in the best school, stepping into officialdom in the best background, having countless halos that others can't match, inheriting the power of my parents, and smoothly becoming the small group of people who can control the fate of others.
My destiny should have been a smooth road.
But unfortunately, my parents still failed to reach the peak of power, and they lost a battle for officialdom.
At the same time, I also lost a life that should have been a good road.
They were framed by their political opponents to become the worst corrupt officials in our country, and I have seen them go to the death penalty with my own eyes.
A friend of my father's before his death gave me their ashes, and that day, the man patted me on the shoulder and said.
"Your parents lost because they didn't get more power."
Of course, I know that it is because their power is so small, so their fate is controlled by those who are more powerful.
They are still too naïve, they are satisfied with their power, and that's why they lose.
Money? There is naturally money to have the right to ...... Status? The right naturally has status...... Character? Being entitled is naturally complimented...... Good and evil? The victor will always be forgiven...... As long as there is power, it is equal to everything.
Losing the protection of my parents' power, coupled with the suppression of my parents' previous political enemies, my youth and youth were quite miserable. Most of the people who used to please me never met again, and even a small number of them came with the intention of getting revenge on me.
But it doesn't matter, I already knew their purpose, so there's nothing to sigh about.
As an adult, I couldn't step into officialdom and didn't have the qualifications to go into business.
But it doesn't matter, the white road doesn't work, and there are underworld roads for me.
Start from a neighborhood ponyboy, dare to fight, and climb up step by step.
The operation of the underworld needs the support of money, and the prosperity of the business world also needs the blessing of officialdom.
I reached the apex in the underworld and naturally entered the business world, and I reached the apex in the business world and naturally entered the officialdom......
Black and white are really words tailored for me.
If the underworld doesn't work, I'll solve it with money and connections. What doesn't work on the surface, I'll solve it in a more direct way secretly.
There are many people whose fate has been changed because of me, and many who have been erased from Sidney, and it is not a matter of good or evil, but because I am more powerful than them, and they prevent my power from continuing to grow.
In this way, I also began to climb higher and higher in the officialdom, even surpassing the power of my parents during their lifetime.
I also eliminated the political enemies of my parents, who were a huge family, and those in power became embezzlers and sent to the death table, and the family members disappeared from the world in a terrorist attack.
They lost because I got more power.
But I didn't come to the end, I took control of the parliament that determines the power of our country, and I became the real person in our country who can single-handedly cover the sky.
My country is the most powerful country in West Denia, so I am the most powerful person in West Deternia.
But not enough, not at all......
The international situation is intertwined, and those in power sometimes can't help themselves, and this is not the apex of power.
I set my sights on the Permanent Council of the United Nations, although the United Nations is not an organization with much real power, but it represents the internationally recognized righteousness, I control the strongest country in West Denia, as long as I control the United Nations again, I can control the world pattern by my own will!
And rightfully so, I succeeded.
On the day of my appointment, I was bathed in glory, and in the presence of all the citizens of Sidney, the 37th President personally handed over the flag to me.
I still remember the heartfelt words of the previous chairman patting me on the shoulder after handing me the flag.
"Boy, there's no more of your enemy on Sidney."
He was right, I had conquered all the people in West Denia, I had transcended the individual, I had transcended the nation, I had transcended the nation, and I had reached the pinnacle of a civilization in the true sense of the word.
But then I learned that he meant something else.
Because I had defeated everyone in Sidnia, I was chosen to fight an enemy outside of Sidnia.
When I received the secret document, I was drunk that night.
I came to the apex of Sidney, and I had no regrets in my life, but suddenly I was thrown into such a big mess.
I have come here for the sake of the survival of any civilization and the glory of Sidney.
I smashed everything in the bar where I was drinking that day, just like I did when I was younger, being a gangster, finding fault everywhere in the bar, and beating people when I saw them.
The funny thing is that this time no one dared to fight back.
The injured were given a large amount of hush money, the bar owner was compensated enough to open 10 more bars, and the media giants did not cause a stir because they were my men.
I don't have to do anything, and by the time I wake up, my subordinates will already be ready.
That was my last indulgence, and after that, I was the model president of the United Nations, as the whole of Sidenia would like.
At work, I met my love, she knew everything I had in the past, and accepted everything about me, and I would only love her in my life.
I wish I could live only for myself and her, but power has forced me to live for the whole of Sidney.
It was then that I realized that I was just a small person, and I didn't want to live that great.
I booked a date with her to have our wedding, and then I voluntarily quit my job and stayed away from it all, and with my savings and backstage, we should be able to live comfortably for the rest of our lives.
It's a pity that what should have come has come after all.
Noah, what a nice name, it turns out that extraterrestrial life is also quite good-looking.
She gave me 30 Earth years, or 26 Sidenia years, to achieve the unification of Sidney, just because I was not qualified to talk to her.
Every time I think about it, I feel funny, but I didn't expect that I would spend my life climbing to the top of power, but I didn't even have the qualifications to talk to her.
The unification of West Denia, which has not been unified for thousands of years, in 26 years, is something that makes people laugh more than I went from being a gangster to the pinnacle of power.
I contacted the leaders of various countries to explain the situation and made the information about my conversation with her open to the whole of Sidnia, but there are not many people in power who are willing to surrender power for the sake of peace and justice, and at this time, I need to rely on the power of the people.
Sure enough, the people are the easiest thing to incite, and under the general righteousness and peace, all kinds of demonstrations have appeared, demanding that the countries achieve a real union, eradicate war forever, and unify Sidnia.
However, this is only the beginning, the gap between countries is too deep, as long as the leaders of each country have a little guidance, they can shift the attention of citizens from peace and justice to national glory, national integrity and so on, each country is not willing to let others dominate, the federation can be realized, but the individual countries demand autonomy and continue to use the parliamentary system to distribute federal power.
Such a thing is nothing more than changing the name of the United Nations to the West Commonwealth of States, and the title of my position as President of the United Nations has been changed to the President of the West Ternia Federation.
But I know that this is not what she wants, what she wants is someone who can really represent the will of Sidney civilization, not a half-tone like me.
It took me 10 years just to realize this nominal federation, but it was not enough, it was not enough at all, and I began to make a fuss within the federation, gradually reducing the autonomy of various countries, so that the power in my hands gradually increased.
But those in power will not be willing to be taken away from power, they are all the top leaders of the country, no one wants to suddenly have a top boss, and they can no longer compete with my power, so they have also begun to take advantage of the people.
I was said to be a traitor to civilization, a lackey of an alien life named Noah, who was just using the glory of Sidnia, the dignity of the race, and the righteousness of the country to incite it, and the people quickly pointed the finger at me.
At this time, the civilization main war faction also saw the dawn, and began to actively promote the idea of the main war among the public, they wanted to drive the alien civilization back to their hometown, and Sidenia should be the master of its own people, and did not need alien fingers.
I have been able to defeat everyone in Sidenia because I have more power than everybody, but when I stand on the opposite side of the whole civilization, who else can act as my power?
As I said, I'm just a little person, I don't want to live so greatly, and I don't want to work against my own civilization.
If they want to go to war, then let's go, it has nothing to do with me.
I resigned from the presidency of the Confederation of West Ternia after deeply apologizing in front of the citizens, singing the praises of the minds of the fools of the main war, and shaking off the charges of traitors to civilization, lackeys of aliens, etc.
I bought a house by the sea, lived with my wife and children, Linda gave birth to a daughter, and we lived very freely as a family of four, going to the beach during the day to surf and row, and at night lying on the beach and counting the stars.
But I never focused on counting the stars, and every time I looked at the starry sky, I just wondered which one of them would be the Earth from which Noah came from, and when she would come back to us.
The average life expectancy of a Sidneyan is 150 Sidney years, and I am now 70 years old, which is still a middle age, and I should be able to see our civilization compete with her.
As for the supreme leader who can represent civilization? Let the leaders of the country fight slowly, and whoever wins the fight will be qualified to die in front of her.
I don't want to care about everything in Sidenia anymore, and now I just want to live an ordinary life.
I love my life now, just for myself and my family.
In the morning there is the morning sun at sea level and the breakfast of the wife, at noon there is the noise of the children and the noise of the sea, and at night there is the clear starry sky and the smell of the sea breeze.
It seems that it would be good to be able to live your life like this.
But one night, I seemed to have a dream that Noah was sitting on the balcony outside my room, and the sea breeze blew her long hair and white dress, illusory light and shadow, like a spirit from the sea, she looked at the clear starry sky outside, and said.
"Is that the answer you gave me? Mr. Cullen. ”
I rolled over and continued to sleep, the sea of stars outside the window was too bright.
