Chapter 537: Is this a weapon?

However, judging from the current situation, my hopes are not very high.

He still needs to win over others, and the person he needs to win over the most is Professor Wang.

"Professor Wang, you won't support me, right?"

Rawls asked the simplest question.

Although it is very simple, it is also the most difficult question for Professor Wang to answer.

When asked so directly, he couldn't say whether he supported it or not.

Seeing him in such a dilemma, Officer Zhang beside him kindly said, "Don't embarrass me. We all have our own ideas. I don't think there is anything else to say. Let's just vote."

Rawls glared at him unhappily, a sneer appearing on the corner of his mouth.

He then stood up and announced the start of voting.

At this time, he still regarded himself as the commander of the base and felt that he should be the one to read out the announcement.

Not others.

Voting officially begins.

Everyone was a little nervous because it was a secret ballot, so no one knew who anyone had voted for.

But Rawls was the most worried.

Because he knew that the current situation was not in his favor, but he had no other choice.

As it stands, if he doesn't do as this group of people do, they will most likely imprison him forever.

He doesn't want this to happen. This is just a desperate attempt for him.

Who will win in the end will depend on this vote.

Because there are so many people voting, in order to be fair and just, the government will count the votes and then announce the final results publicly.

Everyone stared at Professor Wang.

They might be afraid that someone might cheat, or they might just be nervous.

It took Professor Wang and his team four hours to finally count all the votes.

These four hours made them exhausted and they were out of breath.

Rawls had been watching the vote count, and when he saw the vote count in the first hour, he was no longer disappointed.

Because the vote count is very unfavorable to him at this moment.

In the first hour, he had only 100 votes.

Officer Zhang and his team have already received 400 votes.

Such a huge gap made him very confused and angry.

I have been in the base for so many years, why do these people only see my shortcomings and not my strengths?
Is it possible that in all these years, he has never done a single good thing?

This group of people must have been bribed by Officer Zhang.

Maybe Professor Wang and Officer Zhang colluded with each other to deceive me, or maybe they had already formed a united front with the purpose of forcing me away.

However, looking at Professor Wang's slightly tired face, this thought quickly disappeared.

Professor Wang can't be that kind of person. How could he do that?

In the second hour, the gap between the two sides' bills became even larger.

Rawls no longer had any hope. He slumped in the chair like a puddle of mud. Looking at the water in front of him, the cup seemed to have been filled with water. He couldn't get out and could only suffocate to death.

After the votes were counted, there was no expression in his eyes, as if he was dead, and he slowly stood up.

He glanced at the people present with a dull look and revealed a self-deprecating smile.

"I understand. Since you all think that what I did was inappropriate, then I'll hand this base over to you. I won't be in charge of it anymore. Okay?"

No one said anything; this was what they wanted to see.

At this moment, Professor Wang suddenly stopped Rawls.

"You can't leave. Even though some people don't support you, you are still the commander of the base."

"Besides, a new commander hasn't been chosen yet. Even if one is chosen, you can help the new commander in the base."

Rawls shook off Professor Wang's hand, unwilling to listen to him anymore, and went to a corner alone.

But he didn't leave. He wanted to hear what Officer Zhang and his team had done.

If they push themselves down, then who will they choose to be the commander-in-chief of the base in the end?

He personally thought that Officer Zhang had put in so much effort, it must have been his own fault.

However, if he were to take the office, there would certainly be people who would oppose him.

He is now in a mood to watch the fun, with his arms folded across his chest, waiting for the show to begin.

But what he never expected was that Officer Zhang did not volunteer for this position, but hoped that the old professor could take this position.

Others actually agreed with this opinion.

Basically no one objected.

Rawls felt somewhat better because he had a good relationship with Professor Wang.

Although Professor Wang has taken his place now, if Professor Wang is in charge, he can assist.

He also believed that if Professor Wang became the conductor, his position would not be shaken at all.

Because Professor Wang will support me.

Just as he was thinking about this, Professor Wang suddenly said, "Thank you all for your support. Since you trust me, there is no problem for me to be the commander of this base."

"But I think we should still implement the solution proposed by Rawls, the democratic system."

"I think we should discuss everything together and decide whether it is feasible by voting."

"In this way, no one will blame each other in the future, and everyone will have a say."

"Even if I did something wrong, you can use this method to kick me out and replace me with someone else."

"I think this is a very good mechanism, and it's what a civilized society should have."

Naturally, everyone readily agreed to this.

Because it is good for them.

Officer Zhang gave Professor Wang a thumbs up in admiration. He felt that he had made the right choice. Professor Wang was so magnanimous that he would not do anything that would harm others and benefit himself for the sake of power.

He is magnanimous enough to share his rights with everyone, which is enough to explain everything.

Because of the democratic system, Professor Wang suggested that the issue of base command should also be decided by voting.

The crowd voted again, and the result was still obvious.

Everyone supports Professor Wang.

Professor Wang smoothly and appropriately assumed this responsibility.

In addition, Professor Wang asked everyone another question.

Although Rawls has retired, he has made great contributions to the base after all. It can be said that without him, the base would not be what it is today.

He wanted to ask everyone what they thought of Rawls, or what position should be assigned to Rawls next?
We can't let him leave the earth.

It would not be appropriate to have him be an ordinary expert or a soldier.

Therefore, he must be given a suitable position.

As for others, there will not be much change in their positions.

After some discussion, everyone decided to let Rawls be the deputy commander-in-chief. However, he is a famous deputy commander-in-chief, and I have no power, but it sounds okay.

But he doesn't have much power to interfere in what happens inside the base.

Of course, he also has the power to make decisions, that is, he can vote when the democratic mechanism is activated.

However, his vote is not very important.

This matter was finally resolved fairly perfectly, at least nothing major happened.

In order to calm the matter down, Professor Wang specifically asked everyone not to spread the matter.

Then, he called Su Chen and Wang Jianfeng again, told them the situation inside the base, and hoped that they could keep the secret.

As long as they don't tell anyone, it is basically impossible for the outside world to know about this.

Su Chen agreed readily.

He was also very happy that the other party was able to solve this problem.

He also specifically asked about Rawls's situation. When Su Chen heard that Rawls had now become the deputy commander, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

He could have clearly had a better ending, but he chose the wrong path. And this path was not forced upon him by others, but he chose it on his own.

Why bother?
Because something happened at the base, Su Chen didn't go there for the time being.

He hoped that Professor Wang could take this opportunity to tidy up the base and make the situation inside better.

So that similar situations will not happen again.

Although Su Chen and others did not tell the outside world about this matter, Mr. Li actually knew about it.

This matter was not only known to Mr. Li, but also to many people.

Mr. Li and others made some criticisms about what happened in their base, but they did not blame anyone. They seemed to agree with the occurrence of this incident and the changes in the base.

This news is quite shocking.

Su Chen and Wang Jianfeng were both very shocked.

Because there is no way Rawls would leak the news.

As for them, that definitely won't happen either.

Then the problem is coming.

Why did Mr. Li and the others know this?
It is obvious that Mr. Li and his men have arranged their own people in the base, people who are loyal to them.

Rawls and his people have such people in their bases, so what are their bases like?

There must be people arranged by Mr. Li and others.

It's just that they hid it very well.

This made Wang Jianfeng and Su Chen both feel uncomfortable, but they both understood it and no one said it out loud.

Rawls was also quite shocked.

When he learned that Mr. Li knew about this situation, a small spark of fire ignited in his heart again.

Maybe Mr. Li will help him.

Maybe someone else will lend him a hand.

But he never expected that this group of high-ranking people did not make any major comments on this matter at all.

Or even ignore it.

It seems as if I am of no use and if I am gone, I am gone, and they don't care at all.

It can also be seen from their actions and words that they really don't care about themselves.

At this moment, Rawls reached the lowest point in his life and had lost all hope.

He met Professor Wang some time ago and told him that he wanted to return to Earth.

Professor Wang was quite nice to Rawls. He always respected him and was polite to him.

Although in the eyes of others, Professor Wang is now the commander of the base.

But in Professor Wang's eyes, Rawls is still his superior.

He advised Rawls not to leave.

Ji can't live without him and needs his help.

After much persuasion from Professor Wang, Rawls reluctantly agreed to stay.

However, he also said that he would observe for a while longer.

What he meant by observation was to see how the people in the base treated him.

If the people in the base treat him badly, or if he has lost his former charm and the gap between his past and now is too great for him to accept, he will go back.

However, to his surprise, the people in the base still treated him with respect as always.

Everyone, including Officer Zhang, treated him very nicely. No one discussed what happened before, and no one made sarcastic remarks.

Rawls even deliberately eavesdropped on other people's conversations, and found that the group of people did not talk about him at all.

This should have been a good thing, but he suddenly felt very lost, as if he had really become an insignificant person. No one cared about him, and no one discussed him anymore.

This made him feel very uncomfortable.

But if other people really talked about him, he would probably feel even worse.

After staying in the base for a while, he couldn't stand it any longer.

When he was the commander of the base, he had to deal with many things that came from the base and he was very busy.

Now that he was free, he felt uncomfortable and didn't want to stay in the base, so he discussed with Professor Wang and decided to go to Su Chen's place.

Professor Wang readily agreed.

He also knew that Rawls was not in a particularly good mood, so he asked him to go out for a walk to change his mood. Maybe when he came back, he would have a new look.

He even made a special call to Wang Jianfeng to ask for his opinion on this matter.

Wang Jianfeng directly rejected Professor Wang on the phone and hung up the phone without giving Professor Wang a chance to explain.

Professor Wang's mouth twitched and he looked around.

Fortunately, Rawls is not here. If he were here, Wang Jianfeng’s attitude would definitely make Rawls sad.

He will definitely overthink it.

He called Wang Jianfeng again, but Wang Jianfeng didn't answer. He told Su Chen about the matter directly and asked Su Chen what to do and whether to let Rolls come over.

He felt that given the current situation, there was no need to let Rawls come over.

It would be better to let Rawls stay in the base honestly.

What's the matter with coming to my own base?

After they come, they will definitely complain to them and beg them again.

What should they do then?

Su Chen agreed with Wang Jianfeng's opinion very much, so he asked Wang Jianfeng to politely reject Professor Wang.

Rawls can be tactful, but he is unwilling to be tactful.

Because he knows that sometimes if you don't speak to the other party in a focused tone, the other party will feel that there is still a chance to talk and will keep pestering you.

But once you use a harsh tone, the other person will know that you are angry, and will know that you don't like doing this, and will stop bothering you.

As expected, when Professor Wang saw that Wang Jianfeng was so angry, he didn't say anything.
