"For those who once held power, they would rather see the whole world burning than abandon power, because they know what they have done and what kind of destruction they will suffer after losing power."

As the head of the Ministry of the Interior and the most powerful person in the most powerful department, Stephanie Malik is a mysterious figure for the entire New Yugoslav federal government. Few people can see her in person, even in the Royal Castle, she has a whole floor of office areas, layers of security and direct elevators. Natasha Romanov knew her identity, but Black Widow would not understand how the old American politician family could hold such great power in the hands of the emperor.

As a veteran German politician family, Stephanie Malik has learned a lot from her father, Gideon Malik, including how to cooperate with Regent Victor von Dum to deal with officials from the former Yugoslav federal provinces who might rebel.

"People who resist reform will try to undermine the sense of security. Such means are very common, such as the strikes of trade unions caused a certain government department and social public services to stop, causing countless social problems. At that time, all the damage caused by the other party was the consequence of reform." Gideon Malik narrowed his eyes and remembered the means he used when he promoted the bill. Once he was still watching the TV series called "House of Cards" and told Stephanie about his political experience.

The results of this presidential election are self-evident.

As a role of wandering between two parties and acting as a military-industrial complex and Wall Street chaebol lubricant, even though he is not a Jewish chaebol, Gideon Malik will not be able to gain any less benefits whether he is elected by the Democratic Party or the Republican Party. He can be said to be one of the biggest winners of this election and his chance to return to the peak of politics. However, he also has his own concerns, because he does not know how much of the benefits he has obtained is driven by the emperor, and how many of his allies and enemies have defected to the "human-shaped nuclear weapon" behind his back, intending to replace himself at any time.

However, such concerns were too late for him. He had been forced to bet on the only heir of the family, destroying the belief system of the Malik family and the conservative Hydra family, and using a new consensus to unite the Hydra. At the cost of this, he became the chairman of the board of directors of the CIA to manage S.H.E.L.D. and the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. These rewards were enough for him to not think about these issues for the time being. But Gideon Malik never knew what the emperor had obtained from the Malik family. His daughter was just one of the trophys, and the larger trophy was Atilan of the Moon.

"You must recognize the reality that reform will inevitably damage the old way of distribution of interests, and war will ignite when the peace brought about by the old way of distribution of interests no longer exists. If you rudely and directly clean up all the thugs and opponents, then you are letting the enemy declare their victory, because you will never find them hidden behind the scenes, because the real opponents are always hidden among the crowd that flatter you. At that time, all those who bear the security consequences of the destruction of the real opponents will have an idea: the past is better, and they do not need new rulers, even if the reform is beneficial to them."

Gideon Malik shook his head, very proud.

He has played such tricks more than once, but what makes him most happy is that he finally has the opportunity to teach these methods to his daughter.

"You can call it shortsighted. Civilians are always shortsighted and easily misleading. They are not well-educated elites. They don't know the tricks we play. They even believe that tax cuts for the rich can bring them more jobs. In the past, we instilled cognition through authoritative newspapers. Now we only need to use social networks, which are cheaper and faster. Just claim that you are doing good for them, and then they will support you, no matter what the facts are. The premise is that you didn't provoke that old guy Murdoch, and no one dared to provoke him, whether it's the Democratic or the Republican. Mastering the power to spread news is equivalent to mastering the votes."

He poured himself a little Napoleon brandy.

This was a gift from Stephanie to him, and it was also a gift from the emperor to Stephanie. Although the appearance of this bottle of wine looked very bad, even the label was half rotten, it was a bottle of Napoleon brandy brewed during Napoleon I. Gideon could barely resist the urge to drink and planned to pour only a little bit to wet his lips.

"There is no need to rush to fulfill your promise after the election, because you have arrived at a higher position, and you just need to make candy that suits their tastes." He stretched out his wrinkled fingers and pointed at the plot on TV. "But you don't need this skill now, right?"

Stephanie Malik shook his head.

Although her father's statement is contrary to the emperor's statement in the book "Unified Truth", she did not refute her father because she was loyal to the emperor rather than to the emperor's ideal. Now Stephanie Malik hopes that the emperor forgets that she was too obsessed with family myths and worships the non-existent Hydra ancestors so much that she reached the stage of piousness, because she now worships the emperor rather than the false gods. In the eyes of Stephanie Malik and Tita, this is the act of the emperor acquiesced, because the emperor not only gave the former a piece of sisterhood power armor, but also gave a pair of claws that could cut the armor, which definitely means that the emperor acquiesced Stephanie Malik's worship and praised her "abandoning the false gods."

At least Tita thought so, and Stephanie Malik thought so too. As the latter's mentor, the sorority commander Tita guided her to secretly join the sorority's outer ring monastery learning ceremony to learn how to educate those civilian sorority members. After all, not all girls in the academy can become combatants.

With this relationship, Stephanie can now order the sisters armed personnel responsible for security work in the Malik family estate. However, Gideon Malik thought it was because of Stephanie's own power and had no idea that the sisters would only obey the orders of the emperor and the chief commander.

"Forgive me, old guy, I don't have many years to live."

Gideon Malik had a sly smile on his face. In fact, after undergoing the first life-extended surgery, his life expectancy was extended by at least twenty years. He only needed to be properly maintained. His life expectancy could even exceed his life expectancy for five to ten years, otherwise he would never dare to risk a stroke and drink now.

"I heard about the meeting held by the emperor. Recently, there have been rumors on that land, and I am very worried about you." He said the truth, "There is a lot of blood on that land, and I am worried about your blood in it."
