Chapter 708: Greed for Power
For Wilson's recall, not to mention the legislators of the upper class, even the lower classes of the people have also been heard. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Before this, there were also people who warned Taaffe many times, telling him to act immediately, and he must not sit still, and must solve the problem first.
However, Taaffe was unmoved by this, and everyone treated him as Taaffe, who was no longer the iron-fisted hero he was back then.
He was already old and mediocre, and he could only watch Wilson and Chamberlain and others snatch power from him, and he was already lost.
But only a small number of people can clearly see that the rumors that Wilson will take action are actually released by Wilson himself.
This can be seen as a test of Taffe's bottom line, and if Taaffe reacts strongly, then Wilson will definitely stand up and make a statement that has nothing to do with him.
At most, a few of his henchmen were handed over, and it was the large number of parliamentarians who participated in the meeting at the Liberty Club that day.
But if Taaffe blindly retreated, Wilson would definitely have to gain an inch, and before launching the recall action, Wilson had repeatedly deduced with his guest from afar, that is, Lin Ye, the Duke of the Far East, to make sure that there would be no changes that would interfere with their actions.
Both the Gendarmerie Command and the Garrison Command were in Wilson's hands, and more than half of the seats in Parliament supported it.
Wilson held all the advantageous chips firmly in his hands, and there was no possibility of Taaffe turning the tables at all, after all, Wilson had always been a cautious person, so cautious that if he was not 100% sure, he would never make a move, or he would not have been dormant for thirty years.
"Chief, look at who this is? Hehe, he did a great deal in this operation, you definitely didn't expect him to appear here, did you? And his presence here means that we have reached an agreement with the Empire, not only will you fall here, but your son will ......"
Wilson gestured to a young man in a black robe and hood beside him, who took off his hood to reveal the Oriental face.
It was Lin Ye, the Duke of the Far East, but after he showed his face a little, he put his hood on again, one to avoid the rain.
Second, as the Duke of the Far East of the Empire, he is a powerful figure who holds the lifeblood of the empire, and it is not appropriate for him to appear in a hostile country.
Wilson was now the one who was the one to show off in the victorious stance, and he reached out and made a gesture to wipe his neck, and the meaning was self-evident.
He had agreed with the Far East that he would get rid of Greene, the commander of the Federal Expeditionary Force, and it was true that Wilson could not do anything to him.
But if it was an action planned by the Imperial Army, it would be able to calm the anger of the people in the country to a large extent, and Lin Ye appeared in Liberty City.
It can be said that it fills in the flaws in Wilson's own plan, and completely dispelles the last few worries in Wilson's heart.
Otherwise, he really hadn't made up his mind to plan this operation, after all, there were always a few uncertain factors that made him feel jealous.
"So that's the case, no wonder you, who have always been timid as a mouse, planned this operation, it seems that I really miscalculated, old and old. ”
Although it was only a glimpse, and the two had never seen each other, Taaffe still recognized Lin Ye's identity and nodded in realization.
He originally looked several years younger in a military uniform, but at this time he looked old and faint again, just a dying old man.
"Hehe, if you can honestly hand over the power, we can also turn a blind eye and let you enjoy your old age in peace, after all, we have cooperated for so many years, and you have also created a stable environment for us for thirty years, making us a lot of money, but who made you refuse to let go?"
Wilson had risen to power thirty years earlier by investing in Taffeta, when he was still very young and not ranked among the big businessmen of the Commonwealth.
But with Taaffe's ascension, he used drastic means to defeat one competitor after another, and finally sat in the position of giant.
In fact, he and Taaffe complement each other to a certain extent, but as time goes by, cracks begin to appear.
"Not only do you refuse to let go, but you also plan to put your son on the throne, do you father and son want to seize the supreme power of this country for more than fifty years? Isn't this too greedy? Have you considered our feelings? If it weren't for greed, I wouldn't have done this!"
Wilson began to roar at this, not because he wanted to start the incident, but because the Taaffe father and son had driven him to this point.
They had maintained the rules of the game for thirty years, but now that Taaffe is trying to break it, the fault lies with their father and son!
"Greed? It may be true for you, but not for me, for Green, when I first came to power, the country was in turmoil, people were living in fear, and we had to rely on the strength of you big businessmen to get the country back little by little. ”
"We are very grateful for what you have done over the years, although you are also seeking benefits for yourself, but to a certain extent, you have promoted the development of the country, and if you can be content, I am also happy to see the good development according to this situation. ”
"But you are not satisfied with the immediate benefits, even if you have earned enough money for yourself to live without food and clothing for several lifetimes, but you are still not satisfied, you still want more, and the heavy burden brought to the country by constantly expanding production has begun to make people's lives no longer happy. ”
"In order to solve this difficult situation, we must seek change, we must endure the pain and cut off something, otherwise the whole country will quickly fester, like an abscess, and spread all over the body, I can't see that happening, so I have to go straight to the abscess!"
Taaffe, who rarely speaks in the past few days, suddenly became energetic in the heavy rain, and his eyes showed a fine light.
This was the kind of brutality that only appeared when he was still on the battlefield thirty years ago, even if it only existed for a short time.
But it was enough to make Wilson re-examine him, and it had come to this point, and this old man still retained the momentum of his youth.
Was this his delusion? Or did the old man have some hole cards that hadn't been revealed? But it couldn't be.
He's obviously calculated everything, and there will be absolutely no mistakes, so he's just bluffing?
"It's not that Grimm and I are greedy for power, and we refuse to move our butts in this position, but now this country can only balance you, you are the abscess of the current Federation, in order to prevent the Federation from completely collapsing and disintegrating, we have to pull you out, don't blame me. ”
Taaffe shook his head slightly, his words, like the final victor, pronounced Wilson's defeat.
