"Politics does not make human beings, but it detachs them from nature and harnesses them" - Aristotle (Ancient Greece)

Morning, September 24, 1641.

Wolong Hill Conference Building.

At the entrance to the building, at both ends of the door, on one side are Wehrmacht soldiers who are loaded with guns as if they were facing a great enemy, and on the other side are black uniforms that are also loaded with guns and tense nerves.

Whenever someone comes in, they are always checked twice. All things that were suspected to be murder weapons were politely put away and temporarily stored by Wehrmacht soldiers or black uniforms.

One after another, the crowd gathered in the conference hall in twos and threes, either in silence with solemn expressions or in a happy mood.

There are a little bit of the city, regardless of whether they meet allies or political enemies, they will always greet them with a bright smile. Shake hands, exchange a few pleasantries, and talk about everything; if the person with an upright heart is an ally, it is fine, if it is a political enemy, it will directly grit his teeth. What's more, the two guys who have never dealt with each other directly scolded each other at the door. If it weren't for the people around them, the two boys would have pinched the scene in front of them in public, which was both familiar and unfamiliar. In a trance, Hu Yi felt as if he was watching the live broadcast of the legislature on Taiwan Island. Then I remembered the plenary meeting when I first arrived here more than half a year ago.

Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. People are still those people, but people are no longer those people. Everyone is growing, maturing, and at the same time learning to put on a mask. A group of ordinary people who rarely understood politics half a year ago, how many are not politicians now?

Survival is worry-free, life becomes stable, and everyone has accumulated huge wealth. However, when we get together again, we no longer have the same flavor as before. Sometimes I have to sigh, it's really ...... Changed.

"Eh, why don't you go in?" I don't know when, Yan Xiaosong walked to Hu Yi's side, looked at Hu Yi's stupid appearance, and jokingly said, "What's the matter?

"Wait for others. Hu Yi replied casually.

"Thank you, I knew that buddies couldn't forget me. Okay, when the people arrive, let's go?" Hu Yi was not allowed to speak, Yan Xiaosong grabbed Hu Yi's neck and walked in.

"Do you want to be shameless?" While breaking free, Hu Yi looked back, he had a feeling that the person he was waiting for would come soon.

But after about half a minute of watching, there was still no movement, he shook his head, and decided to go in with Yan Xiaosong first.

As soon as he stepped into the door, through the door made of tempered glass, there was a whistling behind him, and a violent sonic boom sounded all over Wolong Mountain

The semi-circular conference hall can accommodate up to 200 people. Wooden tables and chairs spread out along the stairs all the way to the rostrum. This conference hall is said to have been written by the second generation of officials of Shen Mo, and it is based on the pattern of many national parliament halls in later generations...... It's just a little smaller. So at this moment, Hu Yi looked at it, how to look at it and how it felt like a lecture hall in the university.

At each seat, there is an LCD screen with the names of the participants. Coincidentally, after looking for it, Hu Yi and Chu Ming were really next to each other. I don't know who arranged it.

"Fate. Yan Xiaosong, who was in the back row of them, laughed.

Chu Ming smiled, "I haven't been out for less than half a year, but I didn't expect us to change so much." ”

Hu Yi patted Chu Ming's shoulder, "Don't leave when you come back, this is home." ”

"Yes. Chu Ming nodded.

"Huh, where is Xiao Shen's stick?!" Yan Xiaosong, who had been gossiping, suddenly discovered a very serious matter, Xiao Baitu was gone?!

Chu Ming shrugged: "My master is not interested in this kind of thing, you should understand people like him." ”

"This guy. Yan Xiaosong rubbed his teeth, "How can this kind of thing not come." ”

Hu Yiman lifted his glasses absently and looked at the mechanical watch in his hand: "The time is coming, I'll go up first." ”

Immediately, he scrutinized it again, trying to see the clues from Chu Ming's every move. Suddenly, Chu Ming turned his head, and then waved at Hu Yi with a smile. Everything works fine.

At this time, the time was almost up, Hu Yi walked up to the rostrum and knocked on the microphone: "Everyone, please be quiet." We are gathered today for a big event. We, Wolong Mountain, have been founded since then. ”

On the rostrum, Hu Yi talked endlessly. Sometimes solemn and low, sometimes excited, with the ups and downs of the tone, reminiscing about the precarious past, telling the present of remarkable achievements, and looking forward to the colorful future.

After a while, Hu Yi finished speaking, returned to his position, and then went up to speak silently.

Yan Xiaosong yawned boredly, leaned into Hu Yi's ear and muttered, "What is a bureaucratic background...... It's been almost half an hour, and I'm not done yet. ”

"What?" Hu Yi's mind was still on other things, and he didn't hear what Yan Xiaosong said just now.

Yan Xiaosong bared his teeth and said dissatisfiedly: "What's wrong with you today? ”

"Some...... Annoyance. Hu Yi said casually.

Yan Xiaosong nodded thoughtfully: "You can come to my office later." ”

The two of them quarreled a few words, and the silence on the stage finished the lengthy nonsense, and turned to the matters that everyone cared about: "...... There is always a moderator for a meeting, otherwise you will never be able to make a decision if you say anything to me. I have heard privately that the comrades call this congress Congress. Well, whether it's appropriate or not, it's Congress. I will recommend that Hu Yi temporarily serve as the speaker. Of course, only temporarily. And in order to guarantee my own objectivity, I myself ...... Completely abstain from voting rights. There's no need to vote, just show your hand to vote. If you agree, you will do so, and if you don't agree, we will discuss it again. ”

As soon as the silent voice fell, except for a few sluggish ones, almost everyone in the audience raised their right hands high. Just kidding, Lao Wu made a gesture ahead, whoever is the presiding officer of the meeting will have to give up the right to vote. Who would be willing to give up their power in such a conference where their personal interests are at stake?

Oh, that's a good way to sin your political enemies. But the problem is that the other side can refuse to take office altogether. As a result, he lifted a stone to shoot himself in the foot, stole chickens and rice, and let everyone see his dark side.

A smart person only thinks about it for a moment, and then considers the cause and effect clearly. As for the sluggish ...... Although they don't know the cause and effect, these people are staring at the smart people in their allies, and when they see each other raise their hands, they raise their hands. The reason: If you follow behind the smart people, you will never suffer. However, a few stunned young people complained a little about this, but after being mentioned a few words, these guys turned pale and immediately raised their hands to follow the trend.

So, unanimously passed.

Looking at this result, Lao Hu in the audience smiled bitterly in his heart. These guys...... He has worked hard for half a year, but in the end, he has only been unanimously supported by the big guys in this matter. Is it necessary? Bureaucrats are human beings.
