The Security Committee's investigation of the Healthy Federalist Foundation is complete, probably the fastest in history...... Well, maybe not, some investigations may have been blocked at the time of the idea, and those were the fastest.
While the Federalist Foundation for Health was unable to continue its in-depth investigation, it had no problem investigating two other foundations, one that helps people observe fish, and the other that studies how many species of plants in the Federation do not bloom until the fall.
Maybe because he suffered in front of the medical group, or maybe he had some new ideas, Trueman became deeper and more low-key than before.
At noon, the Welsh Councillor had invited into his home a broker who was more active and well-known in Boupayne, and he was aware of some of the problems and now needed someone to help him solve them.
The medical group forced Trueman's targeted investigation to make him realize that neither Mr. President nor Trueman was as strong as he thought.
Yes, after all, this is only a "halfway president", and his presidential cabinet, including some of the current ministers, is not entirely of the same mind as him, and there are all kinds of struggles among them, and even the Progressive Party has some opinions about his continued election and even victory.
But even so, Mr. President still nominally holds the highest power in the Commonwealth, which still makes the Welsh parliamentarians feel difficult.
So he invited a person who was outside the political arena, but was very famous in political circles as a "capable friend", Mr. Elson.
Mr. Elson, who had served one term as vice president and only one term, was supposed to have some good future in politics, but because of an office scandal, he had to submit his resignation to Mr. President.
After resigning from the post of vice president, he did not take any specific job, but began to be active as a political broker in Boupayne.
Whether it was the Conservatives, the Progressives, or the Socialist Party, which always had little presence, seemed to give him some face, which made the seventy-one-year-old gentleman look like he was only in his fiftiesβa cheerful mood can make a person young.
"Fifteen years of Bento ......", Mr. Elson, sitting at the table, has an old-fashioned gentlemanly demeanor, which is a kind of demeanor that can be seen at a glance and makes people feel like a spring breeze.
When he laughs, some gray eyebrows will tremble, his whole facial features are very friendly, and his smile is also very infectious, "This is a good bottle of wine......"
By Bento, he meant the red wine in his hand, Mr. Elson is seventy-one years old this year, and his doctor has warned him many times not to drink high-strength alcoholic beverages, and of course he also takes care of his body, except for the occasional insomnia, when he uses spirits, the rest of the time is red wine.
Bento is the name of a winery, famous all over the world, and fifteen-year-old red wine is indeed a good thing.
The Welsh MP opened the wine for Mr Elson and poured some for both sides.
There are no bells and whistles, and here, and at their class, no one would put a small sip of red wine in their mouth like a clown and then inhale sharply and make a gurgling sound, as a way to catalyze the aromatic factor in the wine.
Even wine tasters only pretend to be ghosts during the tasting, and in normal times, they are just like ordinary people, just like those who don't know how to taste wine.
Open the wine, pour it, and clink glasses.
Bite......
"It makes me a little apprehensive to entertain me with such a good wine!", Mr. Elson, still smiling, as he lowered his glass, the dark red alcoholic drink slowly sliding down the wall.
The rim of the red wine glass is not small, they only take a small sip, very little, and the slightly astringent liquid with it does not melt is not suitable for drinking in large quantities right now.
They will become fragrant over time, and they don't need a decanter, they don't need anything else that isn't necessary.
The Welsh MP didn't say anything else to digress the subject, he nodded and said, "Yes, I'm in trouble, someone is investigating two foundations that I have a stake, three ...... before"
As to why there are two now, Mr. Elson is well aware that he was also one of the people who called Mr. President, and just one phone call allowed him to get a signed thank you note.
"Trueman!", Mr. Elson pointed out who this "someone" was, and he said as he picked up the knife and fork, "I'm sorry, the doctor said I can't empty for too long......"
The Welsh MP immediately made a gesture to invite him to dinner, and he continued, "Yes, yes, Trueman, they may have some opinions on some of my recent things, and I think this can be solved through communication, and I have been waiting for them to communicate with me, but they ......"
"Kurlik ......," Mr. Elson said suddenly, interrupting the Welsh MP.
The latter didn't seem to hear clearly, "Excuse me, what did you just say?"
After Mr. Elson swallowed the beef in his mouth, he picked up the napkin and dipped the sauce on his lips, "I said that Kurlik's premium beef is affected by some economic and general circumstances, and now a pound of premium beef costs about 170 yuan." β
He looked at the Welsh MP, "The Welsh MP, you are a member of the highest authority in the Commonwealth and decide how the Commonwealth will develop in the future, you should focus more on making this beef affordable for everyone, rather than ...... Dumping. β
In a way, this sentence was a bit serious, and the Welsh parliamentarian's face gradually turned red, turning a purple like a pig's liver, and he had to nod his head to admit it.
Mr. Elson paused for a moment, and then changed his words, "I think it's a great word when you said communication just now, communication can narrow the distance between people, and it can also allow us to solve some problems peacefully." β
That's a good performance, in fact, he doesn't think very highly of the Welsh MP for a lot of reasons, all sorts, including the fact that he's 71 years old and he can do whatever he wants.
"I feel better now......," he smiled and asked, "If you can take a step back, I can try to help you with this." β
The Welsh MP did not immediately agree, and it was evident that he was a very professional man, and that he had taken the money and wanted to do something for Preton.
But in fact, it is not that simple, if he takes a step back, it means that he has betrayed Preton to some extent, which cannot be solved by returning the money, which will have to sacrifice more benefits to erase this mistake.
He also knew that there was no value in confronting him, and it was still very dangerous, and the other party even made a case for investigation, which was not in line with the situation of the struggle, which showed the other party's determination, but he was still a little reluctant.
Mr Elson had not spoken or done anything else to interrupt the Welsh MP's thinking, and that was the kind of thing that was, there was no choice between them, and a decision had to be made.
Is it determined to die with the current President and his right-hand man Trueman, or sacrifice some of his own interests to end this dispute that was actually unnecessary from the beginning.
It wasn't until Mr Elson had finished the sumptuous lunch that the Welsh MP had not come up with a decision that he felt he could agree with.
In the end, Mr. Elson had to interrupt his thinking, time is precious, and no one wastes precious time on someone else's thinking.
"I'll give you a suggestion, Welsh Councillor ......," as soon as he spoke, the Welsh Councillor came back to his senses in a trance, and nodded his head again and again, just like a student in a primary school, well-behaved, awe-inspired, and full of curiosity.
"Our Mr. President lost the last general election and wasted the Progressive Party's precious resources, so there is some prejudice against him in the party, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a chance at all. β
"A lot of people, including me, were very interested in some of the ideas he put forward, such as the idea of making the Federation more responsible in the international community, which of course would also attract some hostility from foreign powers. β
"No one wants to see a powerful federation rise, and it's normal that there will always be spies dressed in all kinds of legal cloaks waiting for an opportunity to wreak havoc within the federation. β
"They could steal our science, they could steal our important formulas, they could kidnap our scientists, they could ...... Divide our politicians. β
"Do you understand?"
The Welsh MP nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Mr. Elson, I understand, I know what to do......"
"Very well, thank you for your hospitality, and I'll contact ......you when I have further information," said Mr. Elson, who seemed to want to leave, and the Welsh MP immediately approached him and pulled out a chair for him, but he refused.
Although he was seventy-one years old, he was still able to sit down on his own and then get up on his own.
Later, when Trueman, who had been retrieved by the president from outside, was about to knock on the door of the president's office, the door happened to open from the inside.
Mr. President and Mr. Elson were walking out, both of them smiling and looking very harmonious.
Mr. President left with him by mistake after just a glance at Trueman, and he needed to send Mr. Elson out.
By the time he returned, Trueman was already waiting for him in his office.
Mr. President did not speak immediately, but sat in his chair and thought for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "Stop the investigation of the Welsh Councillor, he has surrendered!"
"Now we're going to shift our focus to the question of Gavre, and by the way, we're going to shift our ......attention," Mr. President said with a sigh, "Trueman, these are all your credits, you made him have to give in, and I want to thank you." β
Mr. Trueman's expression was strange, he should have been happy, and that was their original purpose, to shut up the Welsh Councillors and stop his worthless tandem at the same time.
But for some reason, he couldn't be happy at this moment, but he had to say, "It's my honor, Mr. President." β
