As soon as the video conference ended, the five cabinet members breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, because the drama was finally over.
"Teacher, are you really not planning to try this idea? Frankly speaking, the contents of these reports are very valuable, and I have read them. They cannot be fiction."
The person talking to Joseph at this moment was Abram. When the video conference ended, it was already three o'clock in the morning in Baoxiang County. Joseph simply didn't sleep and cut the video line to chat with Abram. Because of the time difference, it was only one o'clock in the morning in Baoxiang County. Abram was originally He didn't sleep, and he happened to have a lot of things to say that he didn't want to say. Half a century ago, Abram entered the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. His mentor was Joseph Chapman, then U.S. Army Major General. The mentor-apprentice relationship has been maintained since fifty years ago. Abram has had such a relationship with Joseph for many years.
"I have never doubted the authenticity of these reports." In a private conversation, Joseph did not care about the solemnity or not. A good cigar was held in his mouth: "Fake these things, Fiona She will not gain anything from it, and she knows very well that fabricating false information cannot deceive all of us."
Abram's eyes were still away from the report: "But it is still feasible for her to suddenly throw out the BTS report at this time... I know there must be something behind that woman's actions, but I can only see through the first Second floor.”
"The second floor? It's interesting. I also feel that I can only see through a shallow layer at the moment. The woman's true purpose is waiting for me on the third and fourth floors." Joseph took a sharp sip: "You What is the content of the second layer that you see through?”
"To show favor, to win over; to exclude, to isolate." Abram said these four words without the subject, but he believed that Joseph could understand: "Fiona wants to give us some face. In the past two For more than ten years, the position of rotating chairman of the six ministries has been rotated between the Dragon, Eagle and Bear, and a large amount of information and data are not disclosed or shared. If the federal cabinet is the pinnacle of power on this planet, Tang Wenlong, Banning Clifford, The three Lomonosovs are the pinnacle of the top. Fiona must have paid a lot of money this time to be the rotating chairperson of the six departments. The previous three people have been playing the game of re-election for more than 20 years."
The three people mentioned by Abram are naturally members of the cabinet. As he himself said, there was also an unequal relationship in the federal cabinet. These three people were members of the upper cabinet and were the lords of Dragon County, Bald Eagle County and Snow Bear County respectively. It can be seen from the name of the county that the predecessors of the three counties are China, the United States, and Russia.
There are several naming routes for the thirty-six counties divided by the Earth Federation: first, they are named after the totem animals of the original country, such as Dragon, Eagle, Bear, and Baoxiang County; second, they are named after the national flower of the original country, such as Ying County, Maple Leaf County and Cornflower County; the third is to use the old names of the original countries, such as Gaul County, Persia County, and Borneo County; the fourth is to continue to use the former country names after modification, such as British County, Korean County, and Mongolian County; fifthly, It is based on the natural geographical location or cultural environment. This is how Wandao County in Southeast Asia, Caspian County in Central Asia, Ocean County, and Shuangdao County in the Pacific come from. Sixth, the county name is directly based on the big city in the region, such as Madrid County. , Venice County; the last naming method is very lazy, just call it whatever it is geographically called, like Greenland County, Madagascar County, Antilles County.
Twelve members of the federal cabinet divided most of the thirty-six counties, and the same was true for power. However, Tang Wenlong, Banning Clifford, and Lomon Losov could obviously outnumber the other nine.
Abram has coveted the position of rotating chairman of the six departments for many years. Although the term of the rotating chairman is only two years, it can be re-elected up to four times, which is ten years. Since the establishment of the six-department system in 2026, the person who has become the chairman is either Banning Clifford, Tang Wenlong, or Lomon Losov, who is very rogue.
In 2048, Fiona Alexis was elected as the rotating chairperson of the six ministries. It was the first time that the nine middle- and lower-ranking members of the federal cabinet celebrated together (this is a derogatory term, I know).
"Well, last year Fiona was elected as the chairperson of the Sixth Department, which was really shocking. Many people doubted whether she would lead the three people. Now that Fiona is playing this kind of card at this time, it is hard to say that she is not making a statement." Niao Niao In the smoke, Joseph was lost in thought: "Do you still remember the last thing she said before the meeting ended?"
"It would be best to share information in the future, so that things like this that are beneficial to everyone can be known earlier." Abram immediately recounted Fiona's original words verbatim, obviously deeply impressed: "Yin and yang."
Joseph smiled when he heard this: "I haven't seen such a straightforward diversion of trouble for many years. The earliest report of the BTS minister was written three years ago, when the chairman of the six departments was Romon Rosso The husband is in charge, and with his eyes, he can definitely see that these reports are of great significance. Doesn’t Fiona’s words mean that Lomonosov is too precious? "
"Yes, this is the second layer I saw, but I know that woman will not be so simple. Apart from my understanding of her, such simple political rhetoric does not seem to come from her mouth. "." To describe Abram's state of mind, he would say, "I know there are many layers below the second layer, but I only know their existence but don't know what they are."
"I have a very interesting guess." Joseph gestured with his hands: "As we all know, BTS was almost expelled from the Sixth Department back then. It was retained under the lobbying of Longjun Governor Qian Jin, and was responsible for guarding the Shanghai Second Department. The responsibilities of Fortress No. 2. Although the Sixth Department is a department that is independent of federal political expression, if the BTS Minister wants to conduct a pilot project at Fortress No. 2, it is impossible to bypass Qian Jin and Tang Wenlong, right?"
"Yes," Abram nodded and said, "This kind of thing that may shake the foundation of a county's ability users must obtain the consent of the lord, and the lord will also pay close attention to every move of Fortress No. 2. Of course, judging from the BTS Minister's movements, You can see that he definitely doesn't kill first and then show off."
"Yes, and Tang Wenlong, knowing everything, did not stop the BTS minister from uploading all the information to the public database. Isn't it very abnormal?" After saying this, Joseph smiled even more happily.
Abram also laughed: "Anyway, it's not because he has a particularly noble personality. But having said that, if it were me, I would learn to be as self-sacrificing as Lomonosov."
"Since both Tang Wenlong and Lomon Losov knew about BTS's experiment, Banning must also know about it; the position of rotating chairman of the six departments has always been in the hands of the three of them, and the secrets about BTS's model can completely exclude us forever , I would do the same thing if it were me."
"Reminiscent of Fiona's sudden election as the chairman of the Sixth Department last year... Hey! Has she clearly moved to the faction of those three people? That's why it will be her turn to be the chairman this term... But then what reason does she have to share with us? Where's the intelligence? Have you betrayed the original faction again? Haven't you heard of Amazon County being jointly sanctioned recently?" Abram couldn't figure it out.
Joseph put down the cigar in his hand: "Abram, this is the interesting conjecture I just said." He leaned forward, looking very serious: "I was wondering if this was a trap."
"Trap? Fiona set it?"
"No, she is also in the trap, and the three people who set up the trap are still the same."
"Oh? A woman as smart as Fiona can also be taken advantage of?"
"Yes, it is precisely because she is shrewd that she saw through the evil intentions contained in these BTS reports and spread this conspiracy to us."
"...But the BTS model report is true, there is no doubt about it."
"Abram," Joseph reminded: "truth and falsehood are sometimes not contradictory."
"My guess is that Tang Wenlong discovered some unsolvable problems when he was piloting the BTS model. These problems need to be solved through controlled experiments, but there are only four Shenwu mines in Longjun, and he is reluctant to do that."
"So he used a very smart approach to tell the world about the BTS model in one form or another. But it would be meaningless if the BTS model was only spread in Long County, Bald Eagle County and Snow Bear County. So last year, The shrewd woman Fiona Alexis became the chairman of the Sixth Department. By the way, six months after she became the chairman, Rio Fortress No. 17 suffered a disaster."
"Teacher, your conspiracy theory is really amazing."
"Okay, Abram, I know you believed it. Although Cooper and Fiona were very excited at the meeting not long ago, I am sure they will sit on the sidelines and pass the information to the cabinet members. Others in."
"For the cabinet members who lack high-level ability users, this pie from the sky is indeed very sweet; but for Banning and others who are rich in dragon-level ability users and have no shortage of nuclear-level ability users, it is better than nothing. By the way, Mention, Kimura Yansheng also belongs to this kind of person."
Abram clasped his hands together on his chin: "Teacher, if your reasoning is correct, is it possible for us to solve the problems in the BTS model by only studying the report?"
"It's not impossible, but the possibility is slim. After all, those three people want to use our Shenwujing as a guinea pig, which means there is really no other way. How can they leave a loophole that steals the chicken but loses the rice?"
"I understand. I will find someone to study these reports carefully. To be on the safe side, I will not test any Shenwu mines in the short term."
Joseph abandoned his cigar. He had just realized that the cigar had long since burned out: "Why bother? Abram, your high-level ability user's combat power is much richer than that of an old man like me. After the destruction of Fortress No. 5 last night, my five dragons will be afraid It will take a long time to get it all together, and your situation is much better than mine. Borneo County is a large county with a large population, and the area is also very peaceful. Except for the appearance of a crazy prince six years ago, you lost a dragon-level guard. Officer, your number of high-level ability users has increased steadily over the years."
Silence has always been Abram's way of coping. This man, who is known for being taciturn among senior federal officials, may only open up his chatter a little when facing Joseph: "I'm sorry, teacher, I really We really need more fighting power.”
"...I understand. Now that you have made up your mind, my student, I wish you success."
"Thank you, don't you ask me how I would direct that war?"
"I won't ask anymore, because I can't see it anyway." When his life was about to come to an end, Joseph was very open-minded: "You have been my student since before the start of the Fire War. You have been my student for fifty years. You have graduated long ago. , I am very confident in your ability."
"Teacher, please take care of yourself." Even so, Abram knew in his heart that Joseph would die in less than half a year, and the divine mist medicine could keep him alive for more than a hundred and ten years. It's the limit.
"Ha, don't talk like that. You see, I should be eating and drinking now. I have given up treatment a long time ago." Joseph raised the cigarette butt in his hand: "Abram, as long as you remember what I told you before, Just live your life."
"Students remember, teacher, a hundred years from now, I will try my best to help Prince William Chapman inherit the position of lord of Southeast Asia."
"Yeah." Joseph snorted subtly: "My children are really true to their word, and even Raymond and Palmer are involved in such small actions, so I can only leave it to you. "
"Yes, students will never let down their teachers' trust."
