Chapter 661: The Far Left of the Federal Government
As the days passed, Gooding and the others stayed on Isa to wait for news from the federal government.
Obviously, the difficulty of obtaining the time item is much greater than Guding and they thought before, and a week has passed, and there is still no news. Gooding couldn't help but contact Balthazar to inquire about the progress of the matter, only to be told that he hadn't even arrived with the time gauge. He also informed Gooding that for this matter, the federal government even contacted several god-level powerhouses who had already left office and gone to other planes, and asked them to help find them.
It wasn't until the second week that Balthazar came with the news that the god-level powerhouse he had asked for had found the time gauge outside the high school and was starting to purchase it.
Towards the end of the third week, Gooding's communicator finally rang again.
"It's Balthazar." As soon as the Sea Emperor saw the encrypted number, he knew that it came from the federal government, and each different force was used to using different encryption methods, which was very easy to identify for the Sea Emperor.
"Plug it in." Gooding nodded.
"Gooding, I'm Balthazar." Balthazar's voice was heard again across the communicator.
"Have you purchased the time gauge?"
Gooding couldn't wait, and from the first time he saw Huck, he could imagine what kind of upbringing Huck came from. Each additional day that Huck disappears means that his chances of becoming the same way he used to be.
He still vividly remembered the sadness in the eyes of the man who begged him to kill him. As the captain of the team, the last thing he wanted was for Huck to change back to that again. And, it could be worse.
"Time gauges have been purchased, but things have taken a turn for the worse." Balthazar's tone sounded a little stern.
"What's changed? Will it affect our plan to save Huck? Gooding frowned slightly, and he vaguely sensed that what Balthazar was going to say next was not good news.
"Here's the thing, the few Celestial-level powerhouses we invited to help with the procurement this time are high-ranking officials of our federal government from the last era, and they asked for a piece of the pie. We had no choice but to agree, after all, the time props were provided by them. Balthazar explained.
"Do you mean that the resources that should belong to us are going to be given away?" When Gooding heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as we can rescue Huck, we can give up the resources." ”
"That's not the case, what they want is god-level resources, resources below the god-level level, they are not interested." Balthazar shook his head and explained.
"Gudingo, he just said that those people are high-ranking officials from the last era......" Michael on the side suddenly interjected and asked Balthazar, "Those people, can't they be ultra-leftists?" ”
Balthazar was silent for a moment before he continued, "That's right, that's the problem. ”
"What does it mean to be far left?" Gooding was a little confused.
"The ultra-leftists are those who advocate the slaughter of all interstellar pirates, and try to suppress other forces, and want the federal government to become the first force in the human universe. Before this era, there were a large number of members of the far left in the federal government, who directly controlled the decision-making power of the entire federal government, and led several eras to massacre interstellar pirates, and suppressed other forces in various ways, and the number of human demons was drastically reduced......" Mi Ke explained on the side.
"He is right, the actions of those ultra-leftists have directly dealt a heavy blow to our entire human forces." Balthazar was also not a man of disrespect for history, acknowledging the fault of the federal government. "I am talking to you this time, mainly to tell you that you cannot participate in this operation. I'm so sorry...... Your member Huck, we'll do our best to get him out. ”
"Why, just because of those ultra-leftists?" Gooding was really angry, not because the federal government had backtracked, but because the federal government's behavior was tantamount to acquiescing to the actions of those ultra-leftists.
"With a few of them, there's no way we can cooperate with the interstellar pirates, they are too biased against the interstellar pirates. If you show up, there's a good chance you'll be killed on the spot. Therefore, it is the most appropriate option to terminate the cooperation with you and let us rescue Huck. Balthazar was right.
"But it's obviously the far-left who are wrong, so why indulge them and let them continue to look at the interstellar pirates with prejudice? Instead of correcting their minds, you ask us not to show up, and you're just going to keep them wrong! Gooding never felt that there was any shame in the profession of an interstellar pirate, and in his opinion, any profession was worthy of respect.
"I don't want to argue with you about this issue, I can only say that people grow up in different environments, and their way of thinking will be different. I know you grew up in taverns and were often surrounded by all sorts of interstellar pirates, so you don't find this profession an abomination. And I, who grew up in a military family, have always been proud to be a soldier. As for the far-left who hate interstellar pirates, many have experienced having their hometowns ruined, loved ones, and houses burned down by interstellar pirates...... Their prejudices are so deep in their bones that they can't be changed. ”
"We made this decision this time to maximize everyone's interests, and although I can't guarantee 100% of the rescue of Huck, we will definitely do our best. I really don't want to see you on the day we go out. Because I can't predict how the gods will react when they see you. If you don't show up, it's the best cooperation for us. ”
After Balthazar hung up, it was a long time before Gooding looked up.
"What do you say?"
"Gooding, forget it, with the federal government and several other major forces, plus those gods, it should be enough to occupy that time plane. Wouldn't they save us a lot of effort if they were willing to come to Huck's rescue? Liliat reassured.
Balthazar's tone sounded quite sincere, and we would believe him for once. Docot on the side also dissuaded.
"I don't feel comfortable handing over Huck's back to the federal guys." Bigg disagreed, "Huck is our partner, and if we're here, we'll do everything we can to protect him." But it's hard to say about the federal government, and there are still ultra-leftists, and it's not impossible for them to play tricks in secret. ”
"Bigg, you're the same as I thought, Huck's back can't be handed over to anyone else, our partners are to be guarded by ourselves!" Gooding's eyes burned and his fists clenched. R1152
