Let you be the wall-facer: you turn around and join the Three-Body Problem?

For some reason, the Trisolarans seemed very happy to cooperate with Cheng Xin, which instantly brought new vitality to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which had already had little presence.

At the same time, the doves also smelled something unusual.

They began to build momentum for Cheng Xin, attempting to cultivate a representative figure who could overpower all parties.

In terms of ability, Cheng Xin is able to communicate with the Trisolarans in a friendly manner, which even Luo Congmin cannot do.

In terms of background, Cheng Xin and observer Lin Xuan are inextricably linked.

In terms of value, there is also project cooperation between StarRing Group and Cheng Xin.

It seems that no matter from which perspective, Cheng Xin is the most suitable spokesperson for the party.

In a short period of time, Cheng Xin was given titles such as "peace messenger" and "head of diplomacy" by the doves, becoming the biggest spokesperson for the peace-loving doves.

Chapter 184 You don’t want me anymore!

"The issue of the Sword Bearer's election should be put on the agenda."

Inside the Dilian Building, Luo Congmin sat high up in the chief seat, glancing at the Dilian officials below.

Beside her was the guard troop led by Rey Diaz.

Looking at the officials in the audience, Diaz couldn't help but feel emotional.

Two centuries ago, he was just a wallfacer. Although he had the strength to challenge the PDC, he was weak inside. The PDC only needed to give an order to take away everything he had given them.

The so-called wall-facers are nothing more than pawns in the game between various forces.

But now, he can stay out of it as a bystander and watch the changes in the political situation quietly.

All these are changes brought about by Lin Xuan.

If it weren't for Lin Xuan, his ending would probably be the worst among all the wallfacers.

The Secretary-General of the Local Federation quickly stood up, walked onto the stage and began to read out the latest news about the election for the Sword-Bearer's successor.

"After our multi-vote count, the top five Sword Bearer candidates are:"

"The current president of the Earth Alliance, Luo Congmin."

"Minister of Foreign Affairs Dr. Cheng Xin."

"Earth Observer Lin Xuan."

"The current sword wielder Luo Ji."

"And...Tomoko?"

The Secretary-General was stunned when he said this. He turned the document in his hand over and over again to make sure he was not dazzled.

The election campaign for the Swordbearer's successor is open and transparent to all mankind. Any citizen has the right to vote, and the Brain Network will refresh the data in real time based on the number of votes to ensure the accuracy of the data.

Therefore, no matter what strange results the crowd can vote for, it seems to be reasonable.

Fun guy, right?

Why are there still people voting for Tomoko?

Fortunately, Tomoko's votes only accounted for 3%, which is about 1.5 million people. Otherwise, if Tomoko really voted to become the Sword Bearer, it would be a lot of fun.

Apart from the votes of these fun-loving people, most people were hesitating between Luo Congmin, Cheng Xin and Lin Xuan.

Among them, Lin Xuan and Luo Congmin received the most votes. As for Cheng Xin, although she is one of the leaders of the doves, the doves cannot represent all mankind, so even if the doves operate no matter how hard they try, Cheng Xin's support rate is still only around 8%.

Those who voted for Luo Ji also accounted for a large proportion, and they mainly abstained from voting.

Because this election proposal was originally launched to target Luo Ji's identity as the Sword Holder, voting for Luo Ji, you can imagine that it expresses the voters' thoughts and feelings of missing their hometown.

Then the result is obvious. If nothing unexpected happens, the second sword-bearer will most likely be Luo Congmin.

Lin Xuan has disappeared for several years. No one in Lin Xuan's family, including Luo Congmin, has seen Lin Xuan in these years.

However, this news was only known to Wang Miao and a few others. After all, part of the reason they could have their current social status was due to Lin Xuan's support.

Once something happens to Lin Xuan, not to mention the panic of the grassroots people, the big difficulty is whether Luo Congmin can maintain the political system of the Local Federation without any changes.

A political system has a lifespan limit. Be it the UN, the PDC, or even the two major international organizations, political systems will reach their peak and then decline little by little over time.

The same is true for the ground union.

Today, the Earth Alliance is getting closer and closer to its peak. At this critical moment, any slight disturbance will cause a century of hard work accumulated by mankind to go to waste.

Therefore, at this critical moment, the news of Lin Xuan's accident must not be exposed.

Because it’s useless to be exposed. They know Lin Xuan too well. How can they expect the Earth Alliance to solve a problem that even he can’t solve?

Dreaming.

It would be good enough if they could suppress the greed in their hearts and not cause trouble.

Therefore, it has almost become a foregone conclusion that Luo Congmin will serve as the second Sword-Bearer.

This is actually in line with the thinking of the doves.

From the very beginning, when they supported Cheng Xin to join the Earth Alliance, they never thought of letting her become the Sword Master.

Too far off.

Even with Lin Xuan's identity protecting her, it is not enough.

You know, after the failure of the Trisolaran Cradle Project, a large number of hibernators were awakened, and the world has long become an era where Deterrents and AD people coexist.

The one-sided situation in the original plot is almost impossible to happen again, and Cheng Xin cannot represent the will of all mankind.

Coupled with the development of brain networking technology, the grassroots masses have developed a habit of refutation of everything, which makes the doves feel disgusted as if they have eaten a fly when shaping the representative figure of Cheng Xin.

Marist Society?

That doesn't exist. Now is the era of argumentative people!

You mentioned Cheng Xin's great achievements, but I have to question them.

You said that Cheng Xin has Lin Xuan's support, so I have to question Lin Xuan as well.

Lin Xuan's previous decision to allow the public to discuss him had a miraculous effect here.

From local officials to poor common people, everyone likes to chat about Lin Xuan after dinner. After all, it is not illegal.

Although Lin Xuan's reputation has been damaged, from the perspective of the entire society's ideology, this is a good thing.

Even someone like Lin Xuan doesn't mind being criticized, so why do you mind?

Therefore, the dove faction's initial policy was not to let Cheng Xin succeed as the Sword Bearer, but to let her become the successor to Luo Congmin's position.

The county magistrate is not as good as taking charge now.

No matter how powerful the Sword Bearer is, he cannot control every aspect of the Earth Alliance.

However, once the post of the president of the FL-C is held by the doves, it will be very beneficial to the entire dove faction.

Failed in the election for Swordbearer?

It doesn't matter. We were originally using the election to build momentum so as to try to take over the presidency left vacant by Luo Congmin.

This is the real purpose of the doves.

"I hope you leave the Earth Union immediately." Ai AA said.

In the shuttle, Cheng Xin sat in the co-pilot seat, and Ai AA served as her driver.

The relationship between the two has gradually warmed up in the past few years, well... of course not to that degree, which makes it possible for them to talk about almost anything.

"The doves obviously want you to be a puppet emperor. Once Luo Congmin becomes the second Swordbearer, you will take over many affairs of the Earth Union and will inevitably be sidelined by the doves. By then, you will have no say in what you do."

Ai AA cast a sympathetic look at Cheng Xin.

"AA, I know this, but I have to do this."

Cheng Xin rubbed her forehead with her fair fingers. Her official position in the Local Federation was promoted so quickly that she even had trouble adapting for a while.

"From the moment I stepped into the Union of Land, my fate has been at the mercy of others. It's not just me, all the officials of the Union of Land are the same. It seems that we are in a glorious position, but in fact we are just puppets."

"Instead of letting someone else take control of the presidency of the Federation, why not let me take charge? Maybe I can do more."

"no the same!"

Ai AA accelerated and ran through the red light at the last second. She pulled the joystick with a little force.

"Only Luo Congmin can do the job of president because she is Luo Ji's daughter. She can play games with other parties in that position because of the power of the Sword Holder. If it were anyone else, the position of president would be just an empty shell."

"You are too naive, Cheng Xin. You need a backer like Luo Congmin."

Cheng Xin frowned slightly when she heard this.

She pursed her lips, and after a long while, she slowly spoke.

"Lin Xuan should be behind me."

"what?"

Ai AA almost drove the shuttle into a building. She quickly found a place to stop and then looked at Cheng Xin in shock.

"Are you serious?"

Cheng Xin nodded slightly.

"AA, you're right. I really need a backer to make the most of this position. Maybe it's time for me to use this relationship."

Whether there is a relationship between Cheng Xin and Lin Xuan has always been an ambiguous answer. Although Chieko spread the rumor, neither party has made a positive response, so everyone can only speculate and there is no real evidence.

Lin Xuan didn't come out to clarify because he couldn't, and Cheng Xin didn't come out to clarify because the doves and Chieko didn't allow it.

In short, the two sides have been in this strange relationship for several years.

It was not until this time that Cheng Xin thought of using this relationship to give herself power over all parties.

Although the means were a bit despicable, Cheng Xin felt that she had to do so in order to achieve her long-term goals.

Her mind couldn't help but think of the man who had been dead for many years.

"Forward! Forward! Forward by any means necessary!"

Although I still don't approve of his methods and practices, now only by learning from Wade can we ensure lasting peace in the Deterrence Era!

"You don't want me anymore!"

Ai AA's focus was even more peculiar. For some reason, she felt like she was being cheated on.

And she was cheated on by someone she had never met.

How can this be justified?

……

Three-body Fleet:

The flagship's suspension cabin slowly unfolded, and a transport ship anchored near the anchor point.

Due to the lack of fuel, the Trisolaran fleet has stopped all unnecessary fuel loading since 90 years ago, and they are drifting in space like a bunch of ghost ships.

Yun Tianming was actually on this fleet.

As the thirteenth consul, he holds a status comparable to that of a fleet commander, except that he does not have the rights that match his status.

And today, a group of special guests are about to arrive here, and Yun Tianming is needed to be responsible for receiving them.

Supported by a group of soldiers from the Three-Body Fleet, Yun Tianming stepped to the berthing area and watched the transport ship slowly stop.

This is just the first batch of troops. Later, more than a dozen transport ships arrived here one after another. These were the recovery fleets they sent out decades ago, and now, there are finally results.

The hatch slowly opened, and a team of Trisolaran soldiers escorted a group of humans wearing the fleet's international standard military uniforms out of the transport ship.

When he saw the leader, a rare smile appeared on Yun Tianming's face.

"Long time no see, General Chang Weisi."

Chapter 185 False Alarm Incident

Wade leaned back in his chair, looking at a document brought to him by his subordinates.

The curvature engine has been developed, and humans will soon have their first lightspeed spacecraft.

"It's finally here."
