Then let them show their loyalty!

Chapter 555: Promoted to the Four States Guardian ( words for monthly votes)
Hearing Rao Shou's words, Tang Wanli smiled and nodded.

He said, "At first, when you supported Lao Lei and Lao Hu, I thought you had Alzheimer's disease."

"They have played politics and power games too much. They think they can use some tricks to control Qiu Tu."

"But we know that Qiu Tu is not the kind of person who can be manipulated by others."

"They thought Qiu Tu was a loyal subject who would play with them within the rules. But they didn't understand that Qiu Tu never liked to play by the rules."

"Given Qiu Tu's personality, if the shelter really dares to control him, he will most likely flee to another shelter or start his own business, along with his belongings."

"So, I looked at you in surprise at that time."

At this point, Tang Wanfeng changed the subject, "But... after seeing you so decisively agree with Lao Lei and Lao Hu's proposal."

“I just felt something was wrong.”

"So, after a little thought, I guessed what you were thinking."

Hearing Tang Wanfeng's words, Rao Shou smiled and continued, "But... you know Hu Jie is a suspicious person."

"If you agree with me, he will probably start to doubt it. So you voted against it twice? You are deliberately trying to paralyze him."

This was obviously not the first time the two had worked together, so Tang Wanfeng smiled and nodded.

Then he said, “I think you’re thinking right.”

"We should help Qiu Tu pave the way for him to become the garrison commander of the four states and the head of the shelter smoothly."

"Why not let him fight his way in?"

"Only by relying on one's own 'strength' can one establish prestige."

"Moreover," Tang Wanfeng paused, then said, "they, especially Hu Jie and Lei Lao San, are indeed a little too pampered."

"They have long forgotten how we fought through fire and water to build this foundation. They only know how to plot and scheme."

"It's time to let them see the power of the new generation."

Hearing Tang Wanfeng's words, Rao Shou nodded slightly. He held the fishing rod with his hand and said lightly, "And this is also a test for Qiu Tu."

"If he can see our purpose and follow the trend, he can establish his own prestige in the shelter, in front of Lei Lao San and Hu Jie."

"Then he is qualified to become the guardian of the four states, the head of the shelter, and the pioneer of new routes."

"If he didn't see our purpose and really accepted the shelter's arrangement."

At this point, Rao Shou shook his head slightly, and then said, "That proves that he is at most a master of the status quo. And such a radical and dangerous plan of "using evil gods to fight evil gods" is actually not suitable for him."

"I will still treat him accordingly. But he must find a way out and make other plans."

"He is the only one who sees through our purpose and understands what path we have chosen."

"And we are willing to fight for it and risk our lives for it."

"He is the one who deserves our continued bet."

At this point, Rao Shou looked at the clear pond and couldn't help but sigh, "After all, this is the best we can do to help him."

"At most I can give him a hand. From now on, he will have to walk on his own."

“This road will be extremely bumpy and tortuous.”

"No one knows whether this road will lead to the other side, and no one knows whether this road is right. In fact, because of the uniqueness of this road, most people cannot agree with it."

"So, he has to learn to walk on his own."

"From what I can see now, he has passed this test. I think he can really make some achievements."

At this point, Rao Shou leaned back on the recliner and said, "As for us old guys, after completing our historical mission, it's time to retire and enjoy our old age."

"Don't always cause trouble for young people."

Hearing Rao Shou's words, Tang Wanfeng looked at him with a smile, "You seem to be quite optimistic about him."

"I feel that he is more optimistic than me as a grandfather."

Hearing Tang Wanfeng's joke, Rao Shou glanced at him and said, "Being a grandfather? Haha."

"Although I think Qiu Tu is a good person, he is definitely not a good match for me."

"Besides, who will support sons-in-law and grandsons-in-law now? Many examples throughout history have told us that this path has small benefits but high risks."

Tang Wanfeng:
The blue veins on Tang Wanfeng's forehead twitched slightly, and he wished he could have a duel with Rao Shou to relieve the hatred in his heart!

But he also knew that Rao Shou was right.

In fact, long before the Cataclysm Era, senior officials in both the political and business circles had discovered that the "son-in-law party" was not a good choice.

Too many sons-in-law and grandsons-in-law have been supported by their families for decades, but end up suffering backlash after the death of their elders.

By then, the family's political resources would be wasted, and the marriages of daughters and granddaughters would be ruined. Everything would be lost.

In comparison, supporting daughters and granddaughters may not be as effective, but at least there is no risk.

Of course, it is better to support capable secretaries, direct descendants, and relatives, and then use their hands to exert your own influence to support your relatives, and develop upward alternately.

Therefore, the political resources that the "Fengtian Group" has paid for Qiu Tu during this period are likely to be wasted.

But knowing about this is one thing, and speaking about it is another.

Especially since he was just happy for Qiu Tu, but now his mood suddenly plummeted.

This made Tang Wanfeng really want to give Fa Rao Shou two hammers.

Rao Shou didn't know whether the chill on his back was a sign of something unusual.

He changed the subject, "Princess Xi seems to be a little bit off lately?"

Hearing Rao Shou talking about serious matters, Tang Wanfeng's expression also became serious.

He leaned back in the recliner, his expression becoming serious, "Something is not right."

"When she was in Dongye Province, she contacted me twice, both times to ask for the "Third Transformation Snow Lotus."

"But this time when she came to the shelter, she was just doing a normal visit, visiting the places she should visit and understanding the places she should understand. But... she never crossed the line."

"And she never mentioned the matter of the 'Third Transformation Snow Lotus' again."

Hearing Tang Wanfeng's words, Rao Shou frowned slightly. He pondered for a moment, then said, "I always have a bad feeling."

"Shelter 6 is likely to become a mess."

Hearing Rao Shou's words, Tang Wanfeng seemed to remember something and said, "It is said that the royalists and the Kou family fought in Dongcheng City."

"Then the princess won and was free."

Rao Shou frowned even deeper when he heard this. He hesitated and said, "The princess won? Kou Xuan made a mistake?"

Tang Wanfeng obviously had some understanding and guesses about that secret battle.

He said after careful consideration, "I suspect it was Qiu Tu who did it."

"Qiu Tu?" Rao Shou was stunned for a moment.

He seemed to have thought of something, then slowly sat up from the recliner, looked at Tang Wanfeng beside him, and asked with his eyes.

Seeing this, Tang Wanfeng nodded slightly.

After getting Tang Wanfeng's affirmative answer, Rao Shou was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, "This young man is extraordinary, extraordinary."

“He can even think of this path.”

At this point, he said, "But it's good if it's like this." "In this way, the two of us old guys can shine for a while longer."

At this moment, while the two were chatting, suddenly, Rao Shou's secretary hurried in from outside the courtyard.

The secretary came to the two men and stopped, then said, "Mr. Rao, Mr. Tang. Mr. Wang, Mr. Lei, and Mr. Hu are here."

After hearing what the secretary said, Mr. Rao and Mr. Tang looked at each other.

Elder Rao smiled and said, "It seems that things have come to fruition."

Tang Wanfeng also smiled and nodded.

Ten minutes later, the five people sat down in Rao Shou's reception room.

Looking at Rao Shou's calm and sage-like appearance, Lei Laosan and Hu Jie were so angry that their teeth were itching.

In fact, both of them are smart people. If they were stupid, they would not be able to become the leader of the faction.

Before that, they had only become accustomed to "scheming" and "political tactics" over the past decade or so. They were accustomed to playing chess on the chessboard.

Now, when Qiu Tu directly jumped out of the rules, picked up the chessboard, and started to want to hit people with the chessboard.

They suddenly realized that their rules were only effective when Qiu Tu accepted the rules they set.

Once Qiu Tu doesn't play by their rules, their rules become invalid.

On the contrary, they have to consider whether to play according to Qiu Tu's rules or not.

Of course, they can also forcibly change the rules like they did with other "rebellions".

However, when the "solution" reached this point, Lei Laosan and Hu Jie were surprised to find that they seemed unable to change the rules.

Because unless a nuclear bomb wipes out the entire area and both sides perish, Shelter 8 is simply no match for Qiu Tu.

And if they cannot change the "rules" by force, and instead choose to stalemate with Qiu Tu, then Qiu Tu will most likely set up his own faction and divide the land.

At that point, they become sinners in the asylum.

So, when Qiu Tu fell out and hit Shelter in the face, Lei Laosan and Hu Jie were surprised to find that they could only calm the situation by offering their other face to Qiu Tu to hit.

At that moment, the two people who had already sensed something was wrong understood Rao Shou's plan!
Rao Shou was helping Qiu Tu to step on the two of them and establish his authority in the shelter!

Moreover, this concrete thing was also used to wake up the two people: the times have changed, and their outdated ideas will be swept into the trash.
The two of them actually put themselves in his shoes. If they hadn't experienced this incident, even if Qiu Tu became the head of the shelter under the protection of Rao Shou and Tang Wanfeng, they would not respect Qiu Tu much.

After all, in their eyes, Qiu Tu is still a young man and should listen to old people like him.

And now, Rao Shou simply tore off all the performances and exposed the cruelest side of this world nakedly in front of a few people - in troubled times, strength is respected.

When strength transcends the system, it is best for everyone to hope to bring the other party back into the system rather than letting the other party build a new system for themselves.

Because of the change in thinking, the meeting went extremely smoothly and successfully.

All four candidates nominated by Qiu Tu for state assembly speaker were approved. Qiu Tu's self-appointed four state garrison commanders and the head of the shelter were also approved.

However, in order to show respect for Qiu Tu's status, after the meeting, this document will be sent to Qiu Tu as before. After Qiu Tu confirms it, it will be officially issued.
At the same time, the shelter was trying to find a way to keep Qiu Tu.

The middle and senior management of the four states of Dongye are still spreading the previous proposal.

Dongye Prefecture, Qiming City, Military Headquarters.

"Have you heard? Our general's brother is coming to Dongye Province to serve as the Speaker!"

"I heard it, I heard it. I also heard that the four chairmen this time are not the direct descendants of the garrison commander."

"Even if it's Speaker Tang Feifei, she actually supports the Fengtian faction, so the Shelter is likely to have some complaints about the Speaker."

"Normal, normal. I heard that."

New South Wales, Market City, State Parliament.

"Have you heard? Vice Speaker Tang Feifei is going to be promoted to Speaker."

"I heard about it. But it seems that apart from her, the others are from other factions or parachuted in. It seems like they are here with bad intentions."

"Oh, yes. I hope it won't get any more chaotic."

Just like that, while the enemy was gloating, our own people were looking sad.

The second proposal reached Dongcheng City.

Qiu Tu was petting a cat at the time. After receiving the document, he took a careful look at it.

Several proposals were all submitted by me before. Maybe I was worried that I misunderstood Qiu Tu's meaning, so I didn't even change the wording.

This time, Qiu Tu did not drag his feet like last time. Instead, he readily wrote the word "agree" on it and signed his name.

Not long after Qiu Tu's reply of "agree" was faxed, the official appointment document and letter were faxed down.

This time it is not a proposal, but a legally binding appointment document for the shelter.

The document appointed Qiu Tu as the garrison commander of the four states, in charge of all military and political affairs of the four states, namely Dongye, Xin, Tian and Di, and concurrently as the vice-chairman of the Supreme Council of the Sanctuary (at the head level).

Tang Feifei was appointed as the speaker of the Dongye State Assembly and a member of the Supreme Council of the Shelter (senior level of the Shelter).

Appoint Liu Xiongyuan as the chairman of the Cheonju State Assembly and an alternate member of the Sanctuary Supreme Council.

Appoint Yudie as Speaker of the New Jersey State Assembly and Dai Yukang as Speaker of the Local State Assembly.

The entire appointment was carried out in accordance with Qiu Tu's requirements, except that the levels of several people were further clarified.

Qiu Tu is of course the highest, the deputy speaker of the shelter, the real leader of the faction. In the future, he can intervene or interfere in the affairs of the shelter, big or small.
Tang Feifei was second. She almost got everything in one go. Her position and rank were all matched, and she became a senior member of the shelter directly. This is the benefit of having someone at home.

Although Liu Xiongyuan became the speaker, he only got a place as an alternate member, which was equivalent to a quasi-senior level in the shelter.

Only Yudie and Dai Yukang are a little miserable, as they only have positions but no corresponding levels.

The reason was very simple. After all, the Security Bureau system was newly established, and the contributions and qualifications of the two were not very deep.

Especially Yudie. If it weren't for the "Pioneer Plan" and various coincidences, she wouldn't even be the deputy speaker.

Now that he has been quickly promoted to Speaker, there will obviously be some doubts and questions.

In addition, the two of them controlled states that had just been conquered and established, and everything was still relatively chaotic. They had no political achievements and no strength.

That’s why the shelter didn’t provide all the treatment and positions at once.

However, as long as they can hold on to this position and become members of the Supreme Council of the Shelter, it is only a matter of time before they become the top leaders of the Shelter.

Private proposals are so easy to spread, let alone news of new appointments.

So, it wasn't long before the new appointment notices spread to the four states.

Especially when comparing the two appointment letters, everyone will clearly find that Qiu Tu not only confronted the shelter, but also seemed to have just won.

Otherwise, the shelter would definitely not make such a big concession.

Now Qiu Tu has become the governor of four states, and the governors of these four states are all his direct subordinates. In addition, the 16 deputy speakers under the four states are also Qiu Tu's people.

Therefore, these four states are almost firmly controlled by Qiu Tu and can almost be considered semi-independent.

It is obvious to the naked eye that Qiu Tu’s confidants will once again usher in a wave of promotions.

As a result, for a while, many more people wanted to join Qiu Tu and follow him to rise to fame.

At this time, Qiu Tu actually didn't pay attention to the disturbance outside.

At this moment, he was checking the changes in his strength after his promotion.
