Chapter 602: The Situation of the Federation
'New Washington A' is just an oasis city with a population of no more than 300,000, but the suburbs are crowded with tens of thousands of refugees, and so on, the number of refugees in the entire Noah's world is really very staggering, even if it is temporarily suppressed, the future refugees will inevitably riot will still cause catastrophic consequences.
Understanding the implicit meaning of Zhang Lisheng's words, Charlie explained nonchalantly: "Boss, because New Washington City is the closest city to the border between the earth and 'Noah's World', it is inevitable that there will be more refugees in the suburbs.
In fact, the oasis cities built in the depths of Noah's Desert do not have such exaggerated refugee numbers, and most of Noah's refugees are not Millican, and as alternative 'stowaways', the federal government owes only a little bit of humanitarian responsibility to them.
If they do make trouble, even if the government cracks down forcefully, it will not cause much opposition from the citizens of the Federation. ”
"What do you mean by that, Charlie, aren't Millican's core values freedom, democracy, and equality?" asked Zhang Lisheng, who didn't understand for a while.
"Of course it is, but after all, the values of the people of the United States only apply to the people of the United States," Charlie shrugged and said with a smile: "Do you know how many Mexicans died smuggling in the wasteland of New Mexico because of smuggling a few years ago, before the spatial barrier appeared?"
In fact, those smugglers only need a little water to survive, but hundreds of people die every year, and there was once a well-meaning Mi people who built several water points in the wasteland on the border between rice and Mexico in order to save those stowaways, only to be arrested by the immigration bureau. And more than 80 percent of the citizens of the country believe that he should be sentenced.
Because cheap Mexicans with no 'identity' are willing to do any job, they will rob the citizens of the United States of their jobs, and they are easy to commit crimes, making the city less secure, in short, illegal immigration will make Millican bad, so whether it is a child or a woman, it is completely deserved to be dying of thirst and becoming a human being.
In other words, although not all people in the United States think so, most people still believe that law is more important than morality or even human nature. ”
"The interests of the state, but also the selfishness of human nature. Looks like I'm getting on the horns again...", listened to Charlie. Zhang Lisheng shrugged and muttered, then he looked at the flashing neon lights on the skyscraper outside the window and thought about it and said, "Charlie, let's go back to the 'Sea Emperor Hotel' first."
Get a night's rest and help me contact Senator Hauger tomorrow. ”
"Good boss. By the way. Senator Haugel had recently been removed from the hands of His Excellency Allenko, who had suddenly become critically ill. After taking over the position of Vice President of the Federation, he now has a better ability to repay the 'kindness' you have given before. Charlie said with a smile.
"The vice president sounds good, but he has to step down as a senator. I'm afraid the actual impact of this is not much," Zhang Lisheng shook his head with a smile and said: "But no matter what, it's always a good thing that the 'fish' in the 'pond' have grown up." ”
"Oh, I have another good thing to say to you, boss, that senators who voluntarily leave office under the provisions of the Electoral Act have the right to appoint their own successors, and that the successor appointed by Vice President Haugel, Mr. Lennon Featrom, a former member of the House of Deputies, is a very 'interesting' man, and because he is not as ambitious as Haugle, he also likes to 'make friends'.
According to Mr. Guò Festrom, in just two weeks, Edward and I have already met many members of the Senate and the House of Representatives who are just as 'interesting' as he is. Charlie said with a smile.
"That's good news, well, Edward is a lawyer, maybe he should also be elected as a senator or something..."Hearing the implied meaning of Charlie's words, Zhang Lisheng said thoughtfully, and then suddenly laughed and said: "Forget it, in fact, this is not necessary, according to the plan, I will be able to conquer the second 'world' in eight or nine months at most."
And then there's the third, the fourth... As the Faith-Shrouded Lands expanded, the battle for conquest would only get easier, and by the time Edward ran for the U.S. Senate, Millican would be nothing to me.
At that time, Charlie, if you are tired of being a rich businessman in a free and democratic world, then I can give you a continent for you to govern, and enjoy the taste of power as you like. ”
"Oh, boss, I was born in the United States, and I was educated and raised in this country, I think the current life is more suitable for me..."Charlie said cautiously.
"Then you can stay in Milicon for hundreds or thousands of years and enjoy the rich life of now, if only you can explain why you can live so long. Zhang Lisheng waved his hand indifferently and said jokingly, hearing these words, Charlie lowered his head gratefully and respectfully, turned the steering wheel, and turned the car into the auxiliary road leading to the entrance hall of the Neptune Hotel.
Twenty or thirty seconds later, a dark blue sports car in front of the Cadillac RV finally drove away, Charlie parked the car in front of the hotel, got out of the car in a hurry, and personally opened the door for Zhang Lisheng in the back seat.
The appearance of the president of 'LS', as an employee of the group, is naturally known to everyone, and the doormen saw Charlie come out of the driver's seat, already showing a stunned expression, and when they saw that he was not driving alone, but playing the role of a driver, their eyes straightened.
"Oh, Bob, it seems that our 'Big Boss' hasn't been killed by the gods of another world," a trance-like recognition of the hair color and age of the Cadillac backseat guest, a slender, clever young white man among the doormen first came back to his senses, and muttered to his companion at a very fast pace, "You know, I used to go to middle school in the same neighborhood as him in Old New York."
I've seen him ride alone on the road without a girlfriend, but look at him now, look at me, ah, I really regret dozing off in biology class before. He walked up quickly, took the car keys from Charlie's hand, and said respectfully, "Dr. Zhang, Mr. Charlie, good evening." "Got an enviable fifty meter dollar tip.
At this time, Zhang Lisheng had already walked into the lobby of the Sea Emperor Hotel with his spokesperson in the Milican industry.
Stepping on the floor made of transparent tempered glass, the hollow space under the glass is covered with yellow sand, and all kinds of bizarre sand dunes are inhabited by the biological floor;
Looking at the walls of compacted soil, lined with numerous dense and tall shrubs;
Breathing in the fragrant and refreshing air of the hotel lobby, Zhang Lisheng strolled to the center of the lobby, beside a fountain in the shape of an oasis lake, and sat down at a solid wood coffee table surrounded by three delicate leather single leather sofas on the west side of the swimming pool.
Looking at Charlie, who was sitting down opposite, looking confused, he shrugged his shoulders and said: "I don't feel the atmosphere of the civilized world very much, I want to look at the beautiful federal girl in the hotel lobby first, enjoy a sumptuous seafood feast, and then go to think about what to do to conquer a world better and faster." ”
"Oh, understandable, esteemed boss, even the greatest people have times when they are a little tired, and I will order food for you. Charlie was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief and said.
"No, Charlie, go arrange a car to my mother's house and wait, I'm going to call her soon, maybe she'll come and see me overnight. Zhang Lisheng showed a rare complicated expression and said slowly.
"Yes, boss. Charlie took out his mobile phone from his pocket, put it in front of the black-haired young man in front of him, answered three words in a simple way, stood up, and left his seat, while Zhang Lisheng picked up his mobile phone, hesitated, and dialed his mother's number.
The phone rang a few times and was picked up, and an eager, hoarse female voice came out, "Hey, is it Mr. Charlie, is there news of my son?"
"Mom, it's me Li Sheng, I, well, I'm fine, don't worry..."Zhang Lisheng was silent for a few seconds, and said with a slightly trembling voice.
"Li Sheng, Li Sheng, my, my baby, my son, you, where are you..."
"I'm at the Sea Emperor Hotel, don't worry about Mom. Zhang Lisheng took a deep breath but couldn't help the tears oozing from the corners of his eyes, as he evolved on the path of the ancient gods, his feelings became more and more sensitive.
"Are you in 'New Washington A', that's great, I'm going to see you right away, I'm going right away...
They, they say you're dead, those aliens say you're on an Earthship that has been attacked by the gods of the 'Farron World', you and me, but I never believe, never believe..."The female voice on the other end of the phone said incoherently in ecstatic.
"Oh, of course, of course I won't die so easily, in fact, I will never die mother, never, so you can rest assured, don't get excited, don't get too excited, okay," Zhang Lisheng comforted his mother in a gentle voice, "I'll go home tomorrow afternoon, so don't worry, it's getting late now..."
"No, I want to see you, I'm going to see you now, Li Sheng, I must see you today..."Lili said more and more excitedly on the phone.
"Okay Mom, okay," Zhang Lisheng reluctantly agreed, "Then don't you drive to the Sea Emperor Hotel by yourself, okay, I will arrange a car to pick you up, wait patiently, the car will arrive soon." ”
"That good baby, I know, I'll wait, oh, today, it's really the biggest lucky day of my life, I just got a call from you after praying to God.
Oh dear baby, I'm going to call you Uncle Raven, he's very worried about you all this time, and Laddie, Ruili, Michelle, Harry... Anyway, I want to tell everyone who cares about you that you have come back safely. ”
"Oh, okay Mom, you can sue whoever you want, but don't get too excited, that's not good for your heart, and you must be patient and wait for the bus at home.
See you later. Zhang Lisheng admonished again and hung up the phone gently. (To be continued......)
