Chapter 514: Consuasing Li De
The position of the president?
These simple words seemed to be the fuse of explosives, and Li De, who had always remained calm, suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at the boy outside the iron fence in disbelief.
Suddenly, he seemed to understand everything, his brain began to work frantically, and some of the information that Lin Mo vaguely revealed to him just now was also connected by him.
A word to wake up the dreamer, this sentence is the most appropriate way to describe his state at the moment.
The other party deliberately showed his past deeds to the audience all over the world, and also added good words to him on the way to the show, and in the end, he almost blew him into a new beautiful hero.
And the purpose of all this is to ask for this moment - "Are you interested in the position of president?" ”
This guy is still thinking about putting himself in the position of the new president of the United States?
And the most important thing is that this path does seem to work.
Violating international law, colluding with AI... All kinds of crimes doomed Miles to sit in the presidency for too long.
It is only a matter of time before she steps down, and the person who will be elected president in the future will inevitably be elected among some candidates.
And at this time, if the boy in front of him operates properly, he may really be able to cut into the line, go through the prescribed process, and naturally become one of the candidates!
Li De's expression suddenly became cloudy, and he was already a little unsure of Lin Mo's intentions.
"Why me?" He asked the first question.
Lin Mo looked very relaxed, his toes slightly against the floor, propped up the chair he was sitting on, shook the chair very leisurely, and said unhurriedly:
"Because you are the most suitable person at the moment, whether in terms of resume or character, you are very good, you can hardly find any faults or black spots, and after this hearing, the citizens of the United States have also seen what kind of person you are, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are a new American hero."
For the sake of the safety of his colleagues, the CIA's ace agent is willing to stay in Night City until the last moment, and after surviving it, he can still stay in Night City as a secret stake, instead of returning to the CIA to claim his own honor...
It can be seen from all kinds of deeds that the black man in front of him is indeed an extremely good person.
If there is any flaw to be found, it is that the other party is too pedantic and too loyal to the system.
But in the eyes of the citizens of the United States, this shortcoming is a rare advantage and a perfect plus.
And now, "Li De" has become a righteous man who has the courage to expose Myers's evil deeds, and he can not hesitate to expose himself for the safety of the people.
This kind of character design that can be called a person with lofty ideals, who would not like it?
can grieve himself, just to be an obscure dark pile, and it lasted for several years......
With such an attitude of not seeking fame and fortune, no one will certainly suspect that he deliberately exposed Myers's evil deeds because of Li De's move to run for president.
Li De shook his head and sneered:
"The person who exposes Myers' incriminating evidence and acts as a witness is not myself, so how can I have the shame to run for president?"
Lin Mo smiled: "Isn't it better, according to what you say, I am the one who shook out Miles's black material, and I will do all the hard work and dirty work, and you won't feel guilty, besides, the reputation has fallen on your head, it's useless for you to deny it, it's better to accept it with peace of mind." ”
"I never had that intention." Li De still resisted.
"Then you should have it now." Lin Mo said resolutely:
"Think about it, your identity as an agent has been exposed, even if you return to the CIA in the future, you will not be able to continue to work outside the home, and because of this leak, you have violated the guidelines of being an agent, and the CIA will most likely fire you, where else can you go then?"
Li De's expression froze, realizing that Lin Mo's analysis was quite accurate.
The boy obviously didn't leave him with any way back, and even calculated this step.
Today, although he is a heroic warrior who exposes the president's misdeeds on the surface, in the eyes of the leaders of the new CIA, he is already an agent who cannot keep secrets.
There is nothing perfect in the world, and there are gains and losses.
If you dare to reveal the secrets of the big man, then from now on, pack up your bed and go home to sleep.
As for whether the "Li De" in that video is himself or not, it no longer matters.
"I can ask my old friends to help me with relief, and it's good to be an ordinary citizen in the future, anyway, I've been lurking in Night City for so many years, and what I do on weekdays is to be a security guard." Li De smiled very calmly.
Lin Mo shook his head and said earnestly:
"The lark mentioned to me about you, and she said that you are not loyal to a certain person, but to the system and to the new beauty, in other words, you love this country very much, and you will never do anything that harms the interests of the country."
"But if you think about it, you've been working for this bloated system for half your life, and now you suddenly want to give up, are you really willing? Besides, if you don't have the right president, someone will sit on it after all, and it may not be as good as Miles, are you sure you have to bear to watch the new American political scene fall into chaos? ”
It's just rhetoric...
Li De looked at Lin Mo calmly and did not take these persuasions to heart.
He paused and responded: "I only understand one sentence, pie will not fall from the sky, this position of president is what you want me to be, even if what you say is right, so what is the price?" ”
Lin Mo smiled, and then persuaded:
"First of all, you have to understand one thing, no matter how powerful I am, it is impossible to control a president to be my puppet, and secondly, as long as you are willing to nod, then I can contact Kang Tao and Arasaka to help you, with the help of these two companies, plus your reputation, a little operation, you are almost a sure thing to become president."
"Kangtao... Arasaka? Li De glanced at Lin Mo in surprise.
He couldn't imagine that the boy in front of him could have such energy, and he could call two giant companies to help him at once?
And the other party's serious appearance is undoubtedly telling him: this is not a joke.
Is this really possible? What is the origin of this very young-looking boy?
Lin Moke ignored Li De's consternation, and continued to say to himself:
"I have a bit of a relationship with both companies, and I can get them to help you connect with the corresponding political groups, and they can also provide you with the cost of various activities, and what you need to do is to cultivate your own political team and henchmen, but it shouldn't be difficult for you, after all, you are a good person, and many of your colleagues in the CIA have received your kindness, and they should be happy to help you."
"As long as you become president, then all the people you want to protect, the people you know, will be protected by you, like what happened to the lark, as long as you become president, it will not happen...... Aren't you impressed at all? ”
Li De clenched his fists, and after a few seconds, he slowly let go, and looked at Lin Mo with a frown.
"What the hell are you trying to do?" He asked.
"I said, as long as you become president, you are our people, and I will take action against these companies in military technology in the future, so that the interests of this company will be damaged, and if you are here, it will be much easier to clean up the mess." Lin Mo said lightly:
"It doesn't go against your beliefs, and even if you become president, it will be beneficial for you to weaken military technology."
Li De began to be silent, he didn't know how to respond to Lin Mo's "expectations".
If the boy is telling the truth, then there really is no harm in the other party's proposal.
As president, he will not only be able to continue to work for the system, but he will even be able to rekindle his enthusiasm to wash away the "darkness" that he has hated for a long time, rather than being numb and watching.
At that time, his friends and colleagues can also benefit from this, which is an extremely tempting choice for him who values feelings and righteousness.
As for whether it was appropriate to accept the assistance of Kang Tao and Arasaka, Li De did not care very much.
After all, Myers, the current president of the United States, was a former Marine Corps soldier and also served as a cEo in military technology.
To say that Myers became president without the help of military technology, no one would believe this kind of nonsense.
Compared with the local company of military technology, most of the foundation of Kangtao and Arasaka is abroad, and if he becomes president in the future, the power he can exercise will not be too restricted.
As Lin Mo said, weakening the power of military science and technology may be a good thing.
No government wants to see a company grow out of control, but in today's world, it's a common occurrence.
If he becomes president, he will not be able to change this situation, but at least he can do his part.
And at this time, Lin Mo gave him another reason that could not be refused:
"If you really don't want to, then I can't do anything, if the person who sits in the presidency in the future is an outsider, then some of the things I have to do in the future may damage the interests of Xinmei, and even hurt the people you are familiar with, and at that time, you can only just watch."
"After all, if you are not the president, you are not qualified to talk to me!"
Li De's breathing was sudden.
He suddenly realized that what Lin Mo said would most likely become true.
With the terrifying connections and strong strength that the other party can use the resources of the two large companies, no matter what "big moves" the other party will have in the future, it will be impossible for him, who has lost everything, to have the same qualifications to talk to Lin Mo at that time.
But if he really becomes the president of the new United States, then Lin Mo will inevitably discuss with him what big things he wants to do in the future.
It is already clear which is more important than the other.
"Good! I promise you! ”
