The big chapter is presented, at the beginning of the month, I beg for everyone's guaranteed monthly passes, ask for recommended tickets, and ask for the light of the gods!
Thanks to the book friend "God of Chaos" for the tip.

Leaf is a rigorous, conscientious, meticulous person.
From the eyes, steps, and the strength of the handshake, they can roughly reflect a person's personality, and Gao Xu's first impression of Liv is like this.
Maybe it's because of the usual stereotypes that Kate is becoming a Mogu robot cat? When he was in the west, Liv inadvertently played another side, selling cuteness and cuteness, and at the same time standing up without hesitation when the ancient temple needed to be sacrificed, showing a heroic image, well, although the loss was only a toy body, in general, it was still selling cuteness......
Of course, Leaf didn't know that he would fall into the point where he would live on Mogu's robot cat, and at the moment he was still the top leadership of the HRE, controlling the power of Midgar and the Demon Furnace of the entire continent.
It stands to reason that with Gao Xu's status at the moment, he can't expect to see the head of the department, but fortunately, the reputation of the twenty-three points is not a decoration, when the secretary reported, Liv thought about it a little, and still made an exception to receive Gao Xu, who is said to have important intelligence reports!
Gao Xu put on a posture of not wasting Lief's time, and played the video straight to the point, and the edited video highlighted the death of Li Feng's five people, although there is no direct evidence that the Cleude and Barrett clones blew themselves up, but this conclusion can be deduced from all kinds of signs.
After reading it, Leaf's eyes flashed with obvious anger, this is the benefit of being upright, if it is replaced by a deranged character like Heidingale and Treasure Strip. It definitely doesn't matter. Maybe they will secretly praise the avalanche tactics used properly!
"I didn't expect them to rely on such means to confront the company. It's so disgusting! Lief said hatefully, in the original plot, he would betray the HRE later and participate in Claude's party, one was to be reformed with them, and the other was also with the HRE in order to destroy the avalanche, blowing up the Optimus Prime in the seventh block, causing the steel plate above to collapse. Brutally murdered all the inhabitants of Slum No. 7!
Shinra's behavior violated Lifu's conscience and guidelines, and the people on the avalanche side were kind and caring, so he would naturally switch to the camp, and what Gao Xu is doing now is to reverse this contrast between good and evil.
To be precise, there is no need for Gao Xu to act, North America has begun to discredit the avalanche in order to achieve victory in the regional battlefield.
Aren't clones human? They are instilled with memories that do not belong to them, and because of this, they develop their own emotions, but they are forced to die soon. What's more, the body watched the identical self explode and explode to pieces. Can you feel better?
When explaining the reason behind the first operation in North America, Gao Xu did not say in detail that only Claude and Barrett appeared clones should not only be based on temptation in Europe and the United States, but if they are not forced by force, with the personalities of Tifa and Iris, I am afraid they will not accept the cloning!
Now Claude is still a little confused, soaked in the magic furnace for several years, has long been delirious, after inheriting Zax's memories and ideas, he wants to become a mercenary, and what is the nature of a mercenary, that is, once the mercenary has a request, only if he can afford the price, he must be satisfied!
Barrett is driven by hatred, he believed in the sweet words of the Shinra a few years ago, and the bright prospects, and implemented the construction of the magic furnace in his hometown of Clear, who knew that the magic furnace of Cooler had an accident, in order to cover people's eyes, the Shinra soldiers killed almost all the villagers of Clear, including Barrett's beloved wife, and at the same time he lost his right arm to protect his friend Dane, and then installed the machine arm for revenge!
In the middle and late stages of the main plot, Barrett also conducted self-reflection, regretting that he kept saying that he was for the future of the planet, but in fact he was eager for revenge, and continuously blew up the Demon Furnace, causing many Midgar civilians to be injured and even killed, and became the same executioner as Shinra, but at present, he does not have this awareness, and as soon as the North American reincarnation coaxes, he will definitely agree to the cloning without hesitation!
North America is taking advantage of the weaknesses in the character of the protagonist of the plot, and Gao Xu takes advantage of the flaws in North America's behavior to successfully arouse Leaf's bad feelings about the avalanche.
After this is achieved, the following is easy to do, Gao Xu told again about the harm he said before, although he didn't talk about the protagonist's luck, the protagonist's explosion and the like, but the clone detonating itself without scruples is undoubtedly a huge threat to the life of the HRE soldiers, which is equivalent to a death squad, ignoring the feelings of the clones, it doesn't matter if the clones die, the HRE soldiers have family and friends, so worthless death, how can you bear it?
"Do you have a way to deal with it?" Liv has a strong sense of justice, and when he thought of how many tragedies this kind of behavior would lead to if the avalanche gained power, he immediately asked, he was very smart, since Gao Xu said so, he was naturally confident, otherwise he just explained the crisis, but he couldn't come up with a solution, so why bother to run around.
"The way is not difficult, the lives of our soldiers are precious, but combat machinery can be sacrificed......" Gao Xu just got up, Lifu's brows furrowed, in addition to ordinary soldiers, reinforcements, special forces, and Tax, the most powerful thing in Shinra is combat machinery, which is a masterpiece of the weapon development department in recent years, but combat machinery costs money, a lot of money, let the combat machinery deal with the self-explosion of the clone, the casualties are indeed reduced, but it is obviously an uneconomical deal, with the mercenary character of the president of the HRE, He would rather die and pay some relatively small maintenance after the war than accept the loss of combat machinery!
Unexpectedly, before Lifu was really disappointed, Gao Xu immediately changed his words: "But the cost is too high, it only belongs to the next policy, although our Shenluo family has a big business, but we need to devote ourselves to making the people of the mainland live a good life, and we can't waste financial resources on fighting!" ”
Liv nodded again and again, greatly agreeing with Gao Xu's point of view in the second half of the sentence, and saw Gao Xu smile, and continued: "So we need to be flexible this time, since the enemy uses the clone jishu stolen from the company to deal with us, why don't we retaliate?" Of course, as a conscientious and ethical company, we can't clone people, but Warcraft has nothing to do with it. I heard that the Biochemical Development Department has a lot of research specimens of Warcraft. It's totally possible to pick and choose. Become the main force in the fight against avalanches! ”
Leaf's eyes lit up, Gao Xu's way of speaking first and then raising and practical restraint moved him, he stood up and paced a few steps, nodded and said: "Your idea is very good, I can't call the shots about this, if you want, I will take you to see the president!" But I want to remind you that the president was very taboo about the split of the special forces back then. Including the theft of the cloning device and jishu, I am extremely disgusted by others mentioning it, and the director of the biological research department, Bao Tiao, is an existence that the company does not want to provoke, and you want to get experimental specimens from him, it is undoubtedly a violation of its reverse scales, and you have to be wary of it in the future! ”
Being able to take care of a subordinate who he was not familiar with so much before, Liv can be called benevolent and righteous, Gao Xu showed gratitude, followed Lifu, and came to the president's office on the top floor.
The current president of HRE. Rufus's father is an old man with the majesty of a superior person. He calmly listened to Lief's story, and did not have a thunderous look when he heard the scandal of Shinra before, he was silent for a while, and slowly spit out four words: "The impact is not good!" ”
Lief was stunned, and his heart sank, these four words actually showed the attitude of President Shinra towards the avalanche, arrogantly looking down and disdainful.
In the eyes of the president of the HRE, using the enemy's methods to deal with the enemy is undoubtedly a self-conceited retreat and shame, clones? How many can an avalanche clone? Shinra has power, some power, and some money, dealing with a small avalanche, and it is enough to lose his share if he can't take it repeatedly, and he still has to learn from the other party? It's a ridiculous joke!
In a word, the face of the Shinra is worth much more than the lives of those soldiers and a little pension!
It's not that President Shinra is not IQ, but he is in a different position and has a different vision, and Lief still underestimates the courage of President Shinra, and at the intellectual level, Liv can understand the other party's thoughts, but he can't accept it.
But what if you don't accept it? The president has always been in the HRE, and no one dares to resist!
Unexpectedly, seeing that the president of HRE was about to wave them down, Gao Xu, who had been standing behind Lifu, suddenly stepped forward and said: "President, forgive me for being disrespectful, since these days, there have been more and more rumors about the company, and the support rate of the masses and the confidence of the employees are a little insufficient!" ”
Before meeting with Lifu, Gao Xu did another job, that is, he found a blind spot that the camera could not see, and used his soul to read the memories of a HRE staff member to understand the specific situation of the confrontation between HRE and Avalanche before East Asia entered the plot battlefield.
Anyway, Gao Xu made up his mind to conflict with the treasure strip, even if some abnormalities are exposed, he can not hold the treasure strip at all, dare to catch Lao Tzu to do experiments, and do his first!
It is indeed convenient to read the memory, and soon Gao Xu understood the general situation, as he expected, North America has built momentum for the avalanche again and again, and in front of the middle and low-level masses, it has added a lot of points!
Not to mention, the North American reincarnation is also insidious, taking advantage of Sephiroth's prestige among the people, as we all know, Sephiroth was a hero with thousands of brilliance before he knew his life, I don't know how many people worship him, and just like chasing stars on the earth, everyone is chasing the star itself, not the agency where the star is located, if the star and the agency have disputes and conflicts, who will fans help? No doubt!
Without the intervention of the reincarnation, it is impossible for the public to know the specific situation of Sephiroth's betrayal of the HRE, and the news is tightly sealed, but the prophetic reincarnation's favorite thing to do is to pretend to be a god stick and confuse the public, and North America also did not tell the truth about Jenova, they made up a desolate hero image that Sephiroth was not used to seeing the various darkness of the Shinra on the basis of the hero, and intended to seek the well-being of the people, but was plotted by the HRE by despicable means!
This basin of dirty water is poured really wonderfully, first of all, it is impossible for Sephiroth, who is already in a big hollow, to come out to clarify, and the HRE is even more unclear, any of their arguments will become a smear against the hero, and the HRE is not a good thing in the first place, and has done a lot of evil things in various places, although they pursue the style of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots and covering up the truth, but the paper always can't contain the fire, and Avengers like Barrett will have more or less it, just like some notorious companies, after a scandal broke out, It often forms a chain reaction, and many people will stand up in solidarity and beat the water dogs!
Of course, the HRE is far from being a reservoir dog. After all, it holds the biggest energy source on the planet. Ordinary people don't care if Moxuan is absorbing the energy of the planet or not. Shorten the life of the planet, they only care about whether they are doing well or not, convenient or inconvenient, so when it comes to the support rate, the HRE is still too much more than the avalanche, at most compared to the previous day, the prestige is a little dangerous, and the avalanche has been harassing again and again. But it always can't be extinguished, making people panic, no wonder ordinary staff have some grievances!
In this situation, Gao Xu's words were very unpleasant, which pot was not opened, and the president of Shinra immediately squinted his eyes when he heard this, touched his beard, and Liv knew that this was an expression of the president's anger, and he was horrified. I just want to go to Gao Xu.
But Gao Xu didn't care about the senses of the president of HRE at all, and he didn't want to work in HRE for a long time. How could he be afraid of offending the leader, ignoring Lifu's obstruction, and continued: "The company is going to have long-term peace and stability, how can treacherous people be allowed to use small means, now they are like ants, bit by bit, bite by bite, they can't see the harm in the short term, and in the long run, they are afraid that the building will collapse, and they must not be taken lightly!" ”
I have to say that the city government has the benefits of the city government, if it was Barrett, who was short-tempered and uncultivated, he would have ordered someone to throw Gao Xu out, but seeing Gao Xu's posture of direct advice, the president of Shinra chest rose and fell slightly, at least he could listen quietly.
As a superior person, everyone doesn't have to cover their beloved birds in their arms like the legendary Li Shimin, but at least they can't listen to people's words like Yang Guang, otherwise they won't die too quickly, the four words of long-term peace and stability in Gao Xu's words are very good for the ears of the president of the Shinra, rule for a long time, their HRE family will continue to rule until the end of shijie!
Seeing that the president of Shinra had a hint of intent, to be precise, he had won some time to convince him, Gao Xu immediately made persistent efforts: "The people don't know the truth, they will be deceived by some small tricks of the avalanche, but as long as we play the picture of the battle, one side is to blow itself up with a living person, and the other side is to kill the enemy with captured monsters, which side will they support?" ”
Gao Xu listened to the words that seemed to be filled with righteous indignation, but in fact, every word was considered appropriately, and when Liv heard these words, combined with his previous impression, he would feel that Gao Xu was using the method of attacking poison with poison to deal with the avalanche that did everything he could, but it fell into the ears of the president of the HRE, but it had another meaning - taking advantage of the ignorance of the masses!
In the original plot, the president of HRE repeatedly emphasized the theory he pursued, that is, the company should use huge reserves of funds to maintain control over the inhabitants of Shijie, and this method of capital allocation has not been clarified on Earth, but the core concept is similar to the method of "bread and circus": bread and circus is a costly political strategy of the ancient Roman rulers to provide their subjects with food and entertainment in order to keep their behavior out of line, but it can maintain order, to put it bluntly, it is to beat a stick to give a sweet dateAt the same time, you must become a hypocrite, you can't be a real villain, the masses have to rely on deception, and the truth must not be leaked!
Invisibly, Gao Xu's idea of fooling the masses coincides with it, in fact, the method has not changed in the slightest, but as soon as the entry point changes, President Shinra immediately ignored the question of face, a vicious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he picked up the teacup on the desk and took a sip, which was a sign of satisfaction: "Well, Leaf, take him to the sixty-eighth floor!" ”
The sixty-eighth floor is the floor where the biological research department in charge of the treasure strip is located, although it is not directly agreed, in fact, it means something similar, and Liv was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down respectfully.
"What's your name?" Looking at Gao Xu, who had recovered to the state of Lifu's follower, the president of HRE asked with interest, but then Gao Xu's presumptuousness just now flashed in his mind, his eyes were cold, and he had already put him into the cold palace in his heart, this kind of person who didn't know the rules could not be reused even if he was capable, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't answer, let's do things first, and do things beautifully!" ”
Gao Xu immediately showed a look that turned from expectation to regret, satisfying the careful eyes of the president of Shinra, of course, if he knew the true thoughts in Gao Xu's heart, I am afraid that he would immediately shout at the guards to get rid of the traitor: "The old thing is not easy to deal with, if you can use it, you can give a good face, once the enemy is destroyed, it will definitely be hidden immediately!" Hmph, it would be much better to replace Rufus, and I can't wait for Sephiroth to make a move, and I'm going to let Rufus take over......"
"In that case, do you need to know my name to those who are dying?"
******
"Haha, Leaf, what wind has brought you here, I thought you were busy! The president tilts the company's funds to your department, showing that he trusts you, and you still don't work hard? ”
A few steps down from the top floor of the building, the huge figure of Heidingale appeared in the sight of Lief and Gao Xu, and he obviously had something to report to the president, but he just blocked in front of Liv, and the sour jealousy in his words could be heard by the deaf!
Recently, HRE's funds have indeed been tilted towards Scallet's Weapons Development Department and Leaf's Urban Development Department, and the Biological Research Department of the Treasure Bar remains the same, and the cut is naturally Heidingal's Security Department, compared to the special forces who have the mind to betray, the President of HRE is more and more favored to implement 100% of the orders of the combat machinery, Heidingale felt that he was left out, he did not dare to be angry at the president, at this moment, he was angry with Liv, and the intrigue between the high-level can be seen!
Leaf, with his usual face, nodded to Heidingal, and walked over with the attitude of a pure passerby, apparently knowing that Heidingale was a bad bastard, and could not make sense with him.
"You!" Heidingale was furious at Leaf's neglect, but at this time, a middle-aged man standing behind him suddenly grabbed his wrist and shook his head slightly.
"That's Ken, Heidingal's butler and secretary!" Gao Xu, who witnessed this scene from the corner of his eye, showed a thoughtful look on his face, and Lief seemed to be aware of it, introduced a sentence, and mentioned again, "Kenn is a rare existence in the company that no one dares to provoke, although everyone is afraid of Baotiao, but he has always done research in the sixty-eighth floor, and he rarely even participates in executive meetings, Ken is different, Heidingale has at least half of his decisions, and he is a guy with a lot of energy in secret!" If it's okay, stay away from him! ”
"Oh, really?" Gao Xu thought about Gu Liugenwei, who was in a coma in the Book of Heaven, smiled, and said something that sounded inexplicable to Lifu,
"I didn't plan to cross paths with him, but the world is unpredictable, and maybe he will find my ......" (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
