Mrs. Melalie looked at her husband's enthusiastic face, which was full of all positive elements at all times, and she wanted to laugh for a moment.
If you marry such a person, if nothing else, at least you won't be bored in this life.
The chairman continued to say to his wife: "Actually, I originally hoped that Marshal Paris would retire directly and replace me as chairman of the National Defense Committee. However, it seems that he is still unwilling to take off his military uniform. However, this is okay, I can invite him
Admiral Maxell takes over."
Mrs. Melina thought for a while: "Oh, the former principal of the Lunar Military Academy. Oh, yes, I remember that he retired last year and was elected as a member of parliament. But isn't he from the Co-Prosperity Party?"
"Those who served in the old empire were all born into the Co-Prosperity Party lineage. However, that old man is generally a good man and has good relations with various factions in the army. In fact, he is more suitable for that position than me."
It seems that the Chairman is still very satisfied with his personnel arrangements.
The lady suddenly became happy: "That's it. Darling, the only person suitable for you is the president."
"Madam, you understand me!" The Chairman gave a thumbs up and gave a refreshing smile, and the row of teeth seemed to start to shine.
But the wife added: "However, as we agreed before, the chairmanship of the International Trade Development Coordination Committee must be left to Josh."
The so-called Josh is Joachim Haye, a classmate and good friend of Chairman Nichta and Mrs. Melalie in college. He is also a well-known economist and financial investor and is currently working in Libra.
He serves as one of the directors of International Bank. It can also be seen from his resume that he can definitely be regarded as one of the Nishitas' "one of their own".
In addition, like the chairman of the committee, he also married a wife who was born into a wealthy family in the alliance, and he was regarded as a master who "brought glory to the country."
However, there was still a hint of embarrassment in the chairman's eyes. In fact, his most suitable candidate for this position is another good friend of his, Mr. Whittaker, the executive director of Blue Label Group.
If you want to talk about the reason, it is probably because Mr. Haye is really too international. Not only is he married to an alliance wife, but the unit he works for - the so-called Libra International Bank is a global bank.
It is the most famous international bank in the universe, but anyone with a little more knowledge will know that most of this bank's share capital comes from the alliance.
In comparison, Mr. Whitaker, who has worked hard all his life in Blue Label Group, can be regarded as a localized industrialist.
However, his anger disappeared in an instant, and he showed a generous smile: "That's natural, we are all our own people, you're welcome."
The lady nodded with satisfaction. She looked at the time, stood up and picked up her bag and the shawl that covered her dress: "Then, I'll leave first. If you can come back before about 2 o'clock in the morning, you must arrive at 12 o'clock.
Go to bed before now."
It is still the election period, and of course Mrs. Melalie has to participate in many social activities. In the past, she was somewhat shunned by the people of the earth because she was born into a powerful family in the Alliance, but her sassy and A-level performance at the Navy Day the year before last was...
She has gained a lot of fans for herself and her husband, and now she is a frequent guest at many charity events and social dinners.
She actually likes the feeling of standing in the C position.
Thinking of this, before she left, she held her husband's face and gave him a kiss: "Come on, Darling. Anyway, I want to be the president's wife, who is the president..."
"It doesn't matter who is the president?" The Chairman was so shocked that his eyebrows jumped up.
"That's disgusting!" The lady couldn't help but patted her husband's face and said angrily: "If you are outed this time, why don't you come back and kneel on the keyboard? I'm waiting to become the First Lady and go to the Alliance for a state visit.
"
Because she is a psyker, Mrs. Melalie, who has entered the MILF age group, actually looks at least ten years younger than her real age, so she still looks very girly when flirting like this. So.
, in the eyes of outsiders, this is really a model couple with deep love!
This is actually one of the reasons why the Chairman is so far ahead in the general election. After all, any human being with serious views and a basic sense of responsibility still values family very much.
However, after his wife left with the fragrant breeze, the chairman showed a tired look and sighed three times deeply: "I am alone, I am alone!"
He closed his eyes and fell into an uncontrollable state as if he had entered the sage's time. However, within a few minutes, he jumped up again, and his whole person once again appeared full of vitality and competition among all things.
hair posture.
The Chairman walked out of the bedroom of the official residence with a brisk and even boyish step, went to the living room downstairs, and ordered the servants to prepare the best flower sculptures, plums and fennel beans.
When the well-dressed servant, whose movements were clear and precise, was clearly a servant who had been trained in imperial court etiquette, carrying flower sculptures and fennel beans that were completely different from his painting style, he entered the room and placed them on the coffee table. The butler, who was also well-dressed, happened to bring them with him.
When the guest entered the house, there was almost no mistake at all.
"Master Tantai, please make a special trip. Brother, I'm so sorry." The chairman stepped forward in two or three steps and eagerly held the visitor's hands.
The so-called walking backwards is nothing more than this, even though Mr. Nishita is wearing shoes.
Of course, due to his superb expression and deportment management, his posture is full of enthusiasm and sincerity.
Needless to say, the so-called Master Tantai is naturally the current head of the Spirit Research Society, Tantai Jing.
To be honest, since his master and his junior brother brought back the information from the New World, he really felt that he was about to take off. Even "Balance", which was said to have no future, already had information on the seventh and eighth rings.
And (currently) it is unique to the Spiritual Research Society, so how can this not take off?
Senior Brother Tantai, who was more like a master than his mentor, naturally planned to put all his attention on the study of the star ring, and also planned to sort out some materials suitable for the practice of his disciples.
He really doesn't want to pay attention to these mundane matters. However, as the second generation senior brother and current head of the Spiritual Research Association, he may not be the most capable, nor may he not be the best at teaching his disciples, but he must be the best at handling it.
On "secular affairs".
No, the chairman of the committee has privately sent word to someone that once he is elected, he will allocate funds to build an exclusive dojo for the Spiritual Research Association in accordance with the standards of the Imperial Royal Knights Academy and the Guerrilla Academy - that is an entire orbital space station.
Woolen cloth.
Tantai Jing said that this is really unnecessary. After all, there are only three generations of the Lingyan Association. Although there are many masters, there are really less than a hundred people in terms of number, not even comparable to most famous martial arts sects. There is really no need for one.
Orbital space station.
What's more, according to the law, the Spiritual Research Association is a folk spiritual cultivation organization. If it really takes up so much state support, it will definitely become the target of public criticism.
The chairman of the committee also said with admiration that Master Tantai was worthy of being a disciple of a famous family. He was such a noble and upright person. However, "out of the great contribution made by the Spiritual Research Institute to the community", he still went to a beautiful river valley in New Rome.
Among them, a fully-equipped all-terrain training base was built, modeled on the Apprenticeship Training Camp of the Guerrilla Association, and the real estate and properties were directly donated to the Spiritual Research Association.
By the way, the above construction and real estate are all paid for by the Blue Label Group. According to the rules, they are private donations. They do not cost the chairman a penny, and they are completely reasonable and legal.
In addition, three special support ships dedicated to psykers were introduced from the Alliance, two of which were reserved for the Blue Guard for their own use, and the last one was also handed over to the Spiritual Research Association, and was even fully staffed with crew and maintenance personnel.
By the way, the ship's registration and crew are still affiliated with the Community Space Fleet, but the right to use it is (temporarily) handed over to the Spiritual Research Council. Although this operation is a bit borderline, it can be considered reasonable and legal for the time being.
of.
To be honest, Mr. Nishita has brought things to this point. Even if Tantai Jing feels that he should keep a distance from the Gonguns of Earth, he is a little overwhelmed.
Look at how the pro-imperial bosses from the Co-Prosperity Party next door operate? They have been encouraging the Spiritual Research Council to maintain "cultural exchanges" with the Astral Knights, and they swore that this is the universe.
This is the foundation of peace and the common prosperity of human destiny.
Now that Mr. Nishita has already given in, the Spiritual Research Association, even if it cannot repay the favor right away, at least has the obligation to come and pay a visit.
However, the two of them had just sat down and the butler and servants had left. The Chairman of the Community National Defense Committee, and the almost certain future President, made a pleading look on his face: "Master Tantai, I am inviting you to come this time.
Save me."
Tantai Jing couldn't help but be startled. He had guessed that the other party was asking for something, but he didn't expect that his attitude would be so low, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
"Your Excellency, you are serious." Tantai Jing's eyes swept over the flower carvings and fennel beans on the table. These are actually specialties of his hometown, but he is actually not fond of them. Even so, he still felt aroused in his heart.
Some small waves.
"In any case, although the Lingyan Association and I are ordinary people, we are also citizens of the community after all. If there is anything we need to do, we are naturally obligated."
Ordinary people? A common person who can chop down a division without a red face? The chairman of the committee didn’t know what he was thinking, but he still had a helpless expression on his face. Of course, there was a hint of "three or four" in his helplessness.
Extremely sad, and there is also a bit of fear in the sadness, but besides the fear, it is also overflowing with the determination to die rather than surrender.
"I think I should be an enlightened person. You know that, right?"
I don’t know, Tantai Jing thought, but whatever you say is what you say. Anyway, you gave too much, so you are the biggest.
"I hope to break away from the shackles of parties and political opinions and establish a more open coalition government. You see, if I win, the cabinet list will be like this..."
After saying that, he ignored the other party's objections and went on to report the list of cabinet ministers.
If it were the other seven members of the Spiritual Research Society, they would probably be confused about who these cats and dogs are. But Tantai Jing, who had to deal with the worldly world, knew them, so he was a little surprised.
Of the currently confirmed 15-member cabinet list, only eight are from political allies, and the rest are from the Co-Prosperity Party, two from the People's Choice Party, and two independents.
It must be admitted that this is indeed a very "unified" government.
Although the most important positions of the Chairman of the National Defense Commission, the Chairman of the Shipping Administration Commission, the Minister of the Interior and the Minister of Foreign Affairs are still vacant, this is not the focus.
Although strictly speaking, one of the two independents, Ms. Jessica Young, is already a member of the Pioneer Party, this is not the point.
"However, such an arrangement is destined to offend many people. Not only the friendly parties across the street, but also many people in my own party feel that I have forgotten my roots. Besides... Haha, I am not afraid of your jokes. Although my wife was born in the Alliance,
But there are quite a few in-laws on the Alliance side who are disgusted with me, let alone the Empire side."
At this point, he shrugged calmly: "Thinking about it, I have offended quite a few people!"
Tantai Jing pondered for a moment, but then smiled with some respect: "But you won't give in, will you?"
"This is my political ideal! Haha, more than one person said that I am naive, but what's wrong with a man being naive?"
"Yes, when a man is really no longer childish, it's time to die!" Tantai Jing nodded.
The two of them looked at each other, and each saw in the other's eyes the feeling of finding a soulmate. They quickly poured the wine, clinked their glasses, and drank it all in one gulp.
The chairman actually didn't like the soft taste of rice wine, and Tantai Jing didn't even like drinking at all, but both of them had expressions of enjoyment on their faces.
This must be a thousand cups of wine when meeting a close friend, right? Well, it must be...
Later, after Tantai Jing pondered for a while, he said: "I understand what you mean. Even if you can really enter the Blue Palace, there will still be danger. And the Navy Day incident the year before last has proved that to a certain extent
Go up, the Secret Service may not be reliable. The National Government and the Commission may not be reliable either..."
"Internal affairs rectification takes time, and it can only be implemented legitimately after I take office... Uh, no, Master, don't try to harm me! I have no objections to the Secret Service and the National Unification Committee.
"The chairman showed a troubled expression.
Tantai Jing smiled and said: "Then, I have two candidates to recommend to you... No, I came to you shamelessly to ask for an official position."
"Please speak out." The chairman's face was moved.
"I have two disciples. If they were not psychic, they would have achieved some achievements in worldly affairs. One is Yang Mingzhao, 27 years old this year, codenamed 'Juque'. He graduated from the Education Department of the Independent University and the School of Political Science and Economics.
The other one is Killian Sazabi, who is even more remarkable. He skipped a grade and graduated from the Imperial San Sullo Medical College when he was less than twenty years old. He also did some student union affairs when he was in the imperial capital.
Organizing work. It makes you laugh. Although their academic qualifications are good, they have not yet seriously participated in work." Tantai Jing seemed to be a little embarrassed and rubbed his wine glass:
"Is it possible to leave two more vacancies in your secretarial team?"
The chairman was moved, finally feeling a little more satisfied, and nodded slightly: "It sounds like he is an elite young man with both civil and military skills. I might not even need to hire a health doctor by then."
"Psychics who study medicine are very good at sensing the physical and emotional changes of people around them." Tantai Jing said quietly: "In addition, that kid Ming Zhao is actually very good at defense."
Nishita poured a glass of rice wine for both of them, raised the glass and said, "I'll sweep the couch to welcome you!"
Then, with expressions of joy on their faces, they drank it all.
It was only then that the Chairman finally spoke slowly with some hesitation: "Master, I actually have one more thing here, which is about the next step of Brigadier General Yu Lian's work..."
