Chapter 401 Meat Ticket

According to Ivan and Bailey, is there anything more important in the world than what is in your pocket? No!

Since the interests of human beings are not in their pockets, even selling ten percent of human interests in exchange for one share of their own interests is still a calculated transaction.

What's more, there are so many like-minded people who have joined forces with them and have formed a joint force, holding each other's umbrellas, making it difficult for the human world to sanction them, so it is a big deal to join this cake-sharing feast even a little later Loss.

As for whether human society will be wiped out by the ancient legion, they are not worried. How can a population of 30 billion be lost to those ape-men with a population of 10 million?

As for when the interests of human beings will be divided, this is not a question they should consider, and among the people who share the cake, the two of them are not many, and the two of them are not many. There are too many people who want to eat the cake, and they don't eat it. , others will fill in.

Bailey chewed the half-cooked meat one bite at a time, swallowed the beef in his mouth with an exaggerated movement, and said: "The intervention of Nianneng Temple used to be the thing I was most worried about. If they caught us lying , we are finished. Back then, in front of Heras, the ape-man leader, someone had a double-decker idea, trying to get away with it. After returning to the earth, he turned his back on the water and gave the ape-worshiping religion a ruthless blow, but he was caught on the spot. Break it down, I still remember that Heras burned the guy's toes, and it took half an hour to burn the entire skin, then burn the muscles, and then burn the internal organs. It took two hours to burn the guy. Die. It's because he told a lie!"

A look of fear appeared on Ivan's face. He accidentally dropped the cigar on the tablecloth and burned a hole. He picked up the cigar and threw it away. The silver dinner plate covered the fire, and said, "You still have to eat it now?" Why mention this? More than a thousand people watched that scene in Heras, and I was one of them. After that day, I had nightmares for a whole week. I lost more than ten kilograms, and I always heard that person The screams, even if I think about it now, I still shiver."

"However, Nianneng Temple has an inherent disadvantage, that is, there are too few people. What can a mere 10,000 Niannengshi do? The so-called non-human race must have different hearts. A few aliens want to control the majority. We are going to fail. The resources of human society are all controlled by us. We are the mainstream of society. No matter how strong those mutated monsters are, they can only play a supporting role. Now they are kept because they want to fight against the ancient army. Otherwise, hundreds of atomic bombs will be blasted down, and a billion people will be buried with them, and the awakened ones will also be wiped out!" Bailey said fiercely, waving the knife and fork.

"One hundred thousand people are buried with one person, I really think highly of them!" Ivan laughed.

Of course, these one billion people can't be superior people like them, it doesn't need to be said, the two of them have a tacit understanding, this is obvious.

"I've been worrying about these things for too long, and I'm going to get sick. It's good that you come here and listen to me venting. I feel much more comfortable now. You can rest assured about the affairs of the intelligence department. I will let them restrain themselves and come to me. They still sell face."

While Bailey was talking, he reached out and touched a key in his pocket. It was the key to a bank safe box that Ivan gave him. There were 100 million bearer bonds in the safe box. People who come here don’t ask their identity, just take Hold the key and know the combination to open the safe.

This is much more discreet than paying by bank transfer or check. The denomination of bearer bonds is very high, and 100 million can be lifted in a small package, and you can find a confidant to do it without anyone noticing.

If there is no proper interest, Bailey will not agree to help with Ivan's mouth alone. Although he only needs to say a word to help, it is essentially using connections, which are extremely valuable. Resources that are difficult to buy with money, he has spent half his life managing contacts, but he is not used as a good man.

After a meal, Bailey pressed a button on his watch, and two burly bodyguards walked into the restaurant.

"Thank you for your hospitality. You can come to me if you have anything to do. I am a helpful person, hahaha..." Bailey laughed a few times, stood up with a hunched body, and was supported by the bodyguards to leave.

Although Ivan broke his fortune, he also managed to get rid of the disaster. After letting the bodyguards come in, he took out another cigar, cut off one end with cigar scissors, and asked the bodyguards to light the fire. Then he exhaled smoke rings and dragged his fat body away up.

In the empty restaurant, a voice suddenly sounded: "I am Ghost Agent Sister, I have important information to report, and I am going to send video data, please accept it."

…

The office of the United Earth Government is located on an artificial island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. This island is called Union Island and covers an area of ​​10,000 square kilometers. The island has a large airport with complete facilities, a port, and office buildings belonging to the government. .

As for the United Government Building located in the center of the island, the building as a whole is a perfect hemisphere, like half a watermelon upside down on the ground, and the spherical appearance symbolizes the entire earth.

The surface of the building is inlaid with reflective mirrors, which reflect the scenery of the sky anytime and anywhere. When the sky is clear, the whole building will show the blue color of the sky, just like the earth in space.

At this time, the ministers of the United Earth Government are holding a meeting.

There are a total of twelve ministers, who are responsible for most of the government's work. In fact, compared with the president, the ministers have a little more power. After all, the earth is a multi-ethnic and contradictory world, and various disputes are inextricably linked. , Some even lasted for thousands of years. It is obviously impossible to concentrate a lot of power on one person in such a complicated background.

In this case, the post of president of the United Earth Government is like a coordinator. Although it has much more power than the past Secretary-General of the United Nations, it is not that great.

The ministers of the twelve major departments are elected by the joint parliament and are in charge of national defense, commerce, agriculture, transportation, education and so on.

One thing to say here is that the Intelligence Department and the General Staff Department are not one of the twelve major departments. The Ministry of Intelligence is a combination of several intelligence bureaux responsible for many parts of the government and military. The General Staff is a department under the headquarters of the Earth Army, and the Joint Council are two systems.

At this time, twelve ministers sat around a round table in a small conference room.

The Minister of Industry took out a report and said: "Everyone, what I have in hand is a summary report of various industrial accidents in the past two months. The data above are astonishing. The accident rate has increased by 32 percent." , and it continues to improve, apparently because a large number of workers were transferred to join the army, and the people who replaced them were young and not skilled enough. The report shows that the cause of those accidents, in many cases, is because the operator Such a low-level mistake, under normal circumstances, is simply unimaginable!"

The Minister of Health also agreed: "The same is true here. The military needs a large number of doctors. As a result, medical accidents frequently occur here, which has increased by 50% compared with previous years. This is a worrying statistic. It makes me Surprisingly, some doctors in Jin haven't even learned the basics!"

Both looked to the Minister of Education, and the issues were clearly related to education.

The Minister of Education frowned and said: "The problem now is that in order to prepare for Saturn, the conscription has not stopped, but has intensified. In order to meet the needs of the front line, I have to agree to let some students graduate early. They really haven't learned all the skills yet. To acquire knowledge, you need to go to work without an internship, but what else can you do besides this? You can’t blame the students, and you can’t blame me, either. If you want to blame it, blame the **** war!”

The three looked at the Minister of Defense again. The Minister of Defense, Marshal Duncan, is also an old man in the military. Half a century ago, when humans and the ancient legion fought, he had already served in the Earth Army. The young man has turned into a gray-haired old man~www.readwn.com~ He has just passed his seventieth birthday.

I saw him coughing: "Then, instead of fighting this battle, put Jupiter there, and humans will be trapped in the inner solar system from now on, what do you think?"

"How can this work?"

"Of course not."

"Old Marshal, are you kidding me?"

Other ministers immediately dismissed the idea.

The Minister of Construction suddenly said: "Minister Duncan, recent military expenditures have greatly reduced our construction funds. Large projects in many places had to be temporarily stopped to make way for the war. Moreover, although the Battle of Jupiter was won, the losses were heavy. The compensation for personnel, the treatment of the wounded, the recruitment of soldiers, and training expenses, all of these things are added together. Although the insurance company has shared part of it, the oppression on finances is probably not small. Can you tell me, this war How long does the state need to last?"

The Minister of Finance also nodded aside. Obviously, he agreed with the Minister of Construction very much. He has also been troubled by the huge military expenditure requested by the military. It all weighed on him, making him feel like years these few days.

Minister Duncan thought for a while, and replied: "According to the opinions of the frontline commanders and the data given by the General Staff, it will take about half a year. After all the preparations are completed, we will attack Saturn, take down Saturn, and restore to With the situation eight months ago, we had enough strategic depth, and we could take a break at that time, wait for the finances to take a breath, and then plan to regain the double star defense line."

The other eleven ministers listened with different expressions, thinking about what kind of changes will be brought to their respective fields in half a year.

Suddenly, a voice sounded: "Half a year is absolutely impossible, Saturn must be taken within three months!"
