Chapter 1722 Elites are not necessarily good people
The things that others give alms and fight for and obtain in different names are completely opposite to those that others obtain.
People in the last days have suffered enough, but they have not suffered from childhood to adulthood. When they have the ability to live with dignity through their own labor, they will not easily bow their heads for the little favor.
Especially when the citizens in Boise had just won a magical victory, they were more unwilling to accept worthless alms. The church also regarded the people in the city as refugees who were abused and suffered sin, which was even more unhappy.
When Zhou Qingfeng called the people in the city "hero" and "warriors", the feeling was immediately different. Who doesn't like being flattered? This flattery is just right. This flattery was shot by the noble commander of the Aurora Legion, which made people even more exciting.
The United States has an electoral culture. Senior figures like to show off everywhere and be friendly to the people, which is very different from the flower planter. More and more people saw Zhou Qingfeng at the scene, and they all came forward to shake hands to express their gratitude. This affinity that is in harmony with the bottom makes Rachel sigh.
There are more and more people coming to collect food. When everyone takes the initiative to accept it with a smile, and when charity relief becomes a celebration party, Rachel knows that she must have lost the gambling game. Her wife wants to cheat, but she feels that she is completely fooled by this bad boy and is very angry.
But from the bottom of his heart, Rachel can distinguish between himself and Zhou Qingfeng. Zhou Qingfeng not only sent out the food, but also made the residents who received the food very happy and happy, and also brought the relationship closer. This is much better than giving high-ranking charity.
Zhou Qingfeng was surrounded by enthusiastic city residents. He shook hands, hugged, and blessed. Some people even burst into tears for seeing him. Some even knelt down to confess directly, and they really treated the commander of the legion as a saint. Although Zhou Qingfeng has always regarded this title as a joke, some people took it seriously.
For the first time, Rachel felt that her past charity behavior was too superficial. She just sent some food and clothes to the bottom of society, and then turned around and left. As for whether those who received relief were feeling good or not, she had no way to know whether the rest would be good or not.
Thinking about this made my wife very upset and frustrated. She found that she was working hard to do and proud of things, but she did very ordinary things.
This annoyance and depression did not last long. At that time, more and more citizens were caring, and Mr. Franklin of the Freemason was alarmed. The president came to the celebration scene and also came to have fun with the people, but before he appeared, thousands of armed personnel were responsible for clearing the scene.
When the president came on stage to speak, the joyful atmosphere at the scene became much less obvious.
After the public conversation, President Franklin came to meet Zhou Qingfeng. When the two shook hands, the President laughed and said, "I always felt that the Legion Commander had a great influence in Boise, but today I found it was beyond my imagination. This really made me envious."
Rachel stood next to Zhou Qingfeng and immediately observed the faces of the two men in front of her when she heard this sentence. They were both laughing as if chatting casually and complimenting each other, but Rachel felt that the president always felt obviously dissatisfied.
"It is my honor to be able to win the love of the people of Boise." Zhou Qingfeng casually sent the other party's words of hidden needles.
But Franklin obviously wanted to talk about this issue carefully, "His Excellency the Legion Commander, we welcome you to invest within the Freemasonry. But I still hope that the workers you hire will comply with the laws set by our Freemasonry."
Zhou Qingfeng pretended to be stupid and said he didn't understand.
Franklin continued: "We will immediately launch a series of legal provisions for weapons management, militia organizations and media control. These laws are learned from the Legion Commander, such as the civilian ban on guns. I think it is of great benefit to social security."
"Well, yes, yes, it's necessary to ban guns." Zhou Qingfeng nodded and repeatedly said yes. In Rachel's eyes, this always rebellious kid was very obedient this time, and he said good to all the topics of Franklin, without refuting at all.
Franklin was obviously very satisfied with Zhou Qingfeng's attitude. The two had a great conversation and finally hugged and laughed, just like friends for many years. Rachel was disgusted with this false look.
After the two big guys chatted for about ten minutes, Zhou Qingfeng and Rachel had to return to the hotel prepared by the Masonic community for rest.
While the man and woman were in the same car, Zhou Qingfeng was still interested in talking about the 'bet' just now. However, Rachel didn't answer the topic at all and asked, "Don't you feel that you are being neglected?"
"What?"
"Masonics are wary of you and are unfriendly. You have given them so many benefits, but the top leaders here do not welcome you at all. I am curious, how could you give up your influence on the workers here so easily?"
Rachel's words made Zhou Qingfeng smile bitterly for a while, and the latter sighed and said, "The Brotherhood only welcomes my money, not my people. I have a subordinate named Wen Tianyu who was detained by the Freemasons for 'illegal organization of armed activities'."
Rachel frowned and exclaimed: "I seem to have heard of this name. Isn't he a hero to defend Boise this time? Without his organization and change of mind, the city would be destroyed."
"So what if you are a hero?" Zhou Qingfeng was also helpless, "I came to save people specifically. What can I do if I don't compromise? The Freemasons really shot my subordinates, so I can only watch. I have to be glad that I have some bargaining chips in my hands, otherwise I can only accept the lessons taught by others."
Rachel also smiled bitterly and sighed: "You men have refreshed my understanding of power again. A hero can become a prisoner in the blink of an eye. The elites of the Brotherhood have spent all their wisdom on how to protect their own power. This is really sad."
"I don't feel sad. Elites are not necessarily good people, nor are they morally noble people." Zhou Qingfeng himself was not happy, but he could only bear it. According to the reminder given by 'god', this was actually the beginning of the intensification of conflicts between the Aurora Legion and the various branches of the Iron Brotherhood.
The battle for power has advancement and retreat.
Zhou Qingfeng has arranged a series of economic, cultural and political erosions in North America. He originally thought that this infiltration was a subtle process, but he did not expect that Boise's unexpected battle would make things clear.
It was discovered that a member of the Aurora Legion had the ability to mobilize tens of thousands of armed laborers. How could this be so great? Now there is no way to "boil the frog in warm water".
Although the incident happened indiscriminately and the ending was very satisfactory. As long as the leader of the Freemasons’ IQ is not a fool, various restrictions must be set to prevent this kind of thing from happening again. If Zhou Qingfeng does not want to make a fuss, he has to compromise.
"Elites are not necessarily good people, nor are they morally noble." Rachel repeatedly said this, feeling that Zhou Qingfeng had a simple and thorough truth that was not something that everyone thought. "It's right, you educated me again."
"Is there any reward then?" Zhou Qingfeng asked with a thick face, as if he had forgotten that he had just been stolen.
Rachel raised her neck slightly and snorted coldly, "Do you have to get the reward if you want it? It's so ridiculous. Let's talk about it when you really become the Emperor of America that day. You still have a false reputation now."
