Chapter 868: The Triumph of the Expeditionary Force(2/4)
One representative smiled and shook his head: "No, no, you did a very good job, Commander Grant.
Even better than we imagined.
The only question now is, what to do with those mercenaries?
You must know that because all the blame was put on their heads, many left-wing organizations took to the streets to express strong protest."
"My suggestion is to hold a press conference.
Then let these mercenaries cooperate with us to put on a show.
Anyway, most people don't care about the life or death of those aliens, they just want an explanation.
If this is the case, then we should give them an explanation."
Grant Ward was obviously very relaxed when he said these words, and did not take this little trouble seriously at all.
After all, the people are not fools. As a result, two planets suitable for human habitation were completely vacant. They can basically guess what happened.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But out of hypocrisy, they are unwilling to admit that they did this kind of thing.
The People's Federation has found a scapegoat from the beginning.
So it's time to kill the scapegoat to satisfy this ridiculous and hypocritical morality.
"Leave this matter to me. Commander Grant has worked hard enough. It's time for him to have a good rest and relax. In addition, we will arrange an exclusive interview in the next two days."
The only woman present pretended to be playful and winked.
Although she is in her fifties, she still looks relatively young because she is well-maintained, giving people a sense of maturity and charm.
Obviously, she wanted to have something romantic with this young human hero and talk about future cooperation.
You must know that Hydra is different from the representatives of other countries here. It is not affiliated with any country, but is an independent political entity.
This also means that they have high win-win value.
Even if we can't win them over, it would still be good to have some in-depth cooperation.
After all, there are a lot of high-level talents in Hydra, and they are more than one level better than the crooked melons and jujubes in our country.
"Exclusive interview? Sounds good."
Grant Ward smiled and nodded in agreement.
As a female killer, he likes to use his appearance and body to achieve some ulterior purposes.
In terms of penetration control, Hydra dares to claim second place, but no one dares to claim first place.
"Ah! Speaking of interviews, I suddenly remembered. At the invitation of the Italian government, they hope that the expeditionary force can hold a triumphal ceremony in Rome to celebrate the victory of the first interstellar war in human history."
Another representative suddenly said while suppressing a smile.
Because in recent days, there are too many national governments that want to take advantage of the expedition fleet.
The Italians are the most positive.
"Triumph ceremony? Ancient Roman style?"
Grant Ward raised his eyebrows in surprise.
After all, in the general education and understanding of people in Western countries such as Europe and the United States, ancient Greece and ancient Rome were the origins of their civilization.
Although most of them are descendants of the barbarians who destroyed Rome.
But there was no way, who allowed Rome to be completely destroyed.
Even if someone shamelessly seizes its cultural heritage, there is no way to resist.
But this kind of show is still quite attractive to Grant Ward.
After all, these days, the number of "Jingluo" even in the world is quite objective.
Holding an ancient Roman-style triumphal ceremony can undoubtedly increase your exposure while winning the support and even admiration of these people.
And a group of Space Marines pretending to be ancient Roman soldiers walking through the streets of a Roman city, just that blend of past and future can trigger a strong reaction.
The most important thing is that we can take this opportunity to test the people's acceptance of dictatorship.
"Ha ha ha ha!
That’s right!
Just like ancient Rome.
To this end, the Roman city government has spent huge sums of money to prepare weapons, armor, flags and other necessary items for the triumphal ceremony.
At that time, let the fleet fly over the earth's orbit.
The scene will definitely be very interesting.”
The representative laughed and roughly described the entire process in words. From his attitude, it was easy to see that he had a completely fun-loving mentality and was not aware of the political implications contained in it.
Although in ancient Rome, a considerable number of generals held triumphal ceremonies.
But the most well-known one is the time when Caesar led his troops across the Rubicon River, turning Rome from a republic to a dictatorship.
So when people think of the triumphal ceremony in ancient Rome, the first thing that comes to mind is Caesar, the lifelong dictator.
Grant Ward responded without thinking: "Of course, why not? It is an honor for me to triumph in this way. Not only that, I will also present a special gift to the world in this triumphal ceremony."
"
"what gift?"
The female representative asked curiously.
"Haha, please allow me to keep it a secret for now. Because once I really want to announce it, it will be boring."
Grant Ward smiled mysteriously.
"Okay, then I'm looking forward to your gift. Finally, thank you again for your contribution to the People's Federation."
The female representative did not choose to get to the bottom of the matter, but ended the meeting in a very dignified way.
The other representatives stood up one after another, pushed open the closed door and walked out.
moment!
Countless representatives from other countries who had been waiting for a long time gathered around to inquire about the news, while the reporters raised their cameras and cameras to shoot wildly at Grant Ward.
Some of the more courageous ones even shouted loudly and asked questions.
If it weren't for the security personnel blocking it, this moment would probably be more terrifying and frenetic than any celebrity fan meeting.
Soon, Grant Ward stood in the spotlight and announced to the entire earth the decision made by the top management of the People's Federation in accordance with the previously discussed results.
Especially the large-scale immigration of a total of two million people in the first phase immediately made all the viewers waiting for the news on TV, mobile phones and computers excited.
Moreover, the number of immigrants announced at the same time also includes free housing, land, transportation and other welfare benefits.
As for those factories and infrastructure that were not destroyed in the war, they have either been taken over and operated by large national companies, or they have been bought by large capital and consortia in previous closed-door auctions.
Facts have proven that ordinary people will never be able to access those truly high-quality assets.
Watching Grant Ward talking on TV and answering reporters' questions in humorous terms, Iron Man, who was staying at home, said with an unhappy look on his face: "This guy is really shameless. Leading the opponent
A fleet of at least three generations of advanced technology bullied a group of backward aliens, and even carried out a genocidal massacre, yet he could actually claim to be a messenger of justice."
"What, are you jealous?"
Zuo Si, who was sitting on the sofa enjoying the delicious food, asked with a smile.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "No, I just think it's a little unfair. After all, the real hero behind this colonial war should be you."
With that said, Tony Stark directly ordered his artificial intelligence butler to turn off the TV.
Because as a person who knows the truth, he has no clue about the clichés and lies Grant Ward is telling.
“I just don’t want all my investment to be wasted.
You must know that the souls captured in this expedition not only successfully paid off all debts and interest, but also left a considerable amount left.
The People's Federation has begun discussing what technology to buy next to make up for its shortcomings.
If nothing else, they will soon summon experts including you to discuss this matter."
When he said these words, the corners of Zuo Si's mouth turned up slightly, and in his mind, the reaction of the People's Federation official who was obviously relieved when he paid off his debt came to mind.
He really wanted to know what kind of expression the other party would have when Renlian was once again burdened with a heavier debt in a few days. It was interesting just thinking about it.
After all, the demons of Baator are masters of debt traps.
In comparison, the ridiculous financial methods of humans on Earth are simply not on the table.
"The Awami League has turned from debt to surplus? This is really good news! It seems that at least in a short period of time, we will no longer have to fight wars and can develop our economy, science and technology with peace of mind."
Iron Man is undoubtedly a little pleased with this news.
After all, he had witnessed the complete demise of a civilization at the hands of the people on earth, and it was absolutely impossible to say that there was no pain and guilt in his heart.
If possible, he would prefer to take a relatively peaceful development path.
"Don't be too happy too early. You must know that your universe is not peaceful, and there are countless dangers hidden there, especially for the Earth, which has just taken the first step of interstellar colonization and expansion. And do you think the Earth is safe?"
