People in Terra, governing a weird little country

"It's almost time."

“Beep, beep, beep, beep—”

The sound of police sirens came from a distance. Tracys's face froze and he looked at Ernst, somewhat incredulous:

"Are you stalling for time?"

Ernst shrugged and did not deny it.

He was certainly stalling for time.

Who would really negotiate with the Sarkaz? The last person who negotiated with the Sarkaz was Duke Kaster. He negotiated a big deal with the Sarkaz and used the Sarkaz to get rid of the Steam Knights that had troubled the Dukes for a long time. What was the result?

After the Sarkaz entered Londinium, they turned hostile and did not intend to take the reward from Kast. Instead, they tore up the agreement and occupied the capital of Victoria. They are still entrenched in it until now, and no one knows what they are doing.

Duke Kaster could have turned a blind eye to this matter, and even continued to try to contact the Sarkaz for cooperation, but Ernst was good at learning from his mistakes.

Faced with the Chairman of the Kazdel Military Committee, Tresis, who had not even changed his leader, Ernst would not be stupid enough to reach any cooperation with him.

The delay was enough. Ernst's long-prepared backup plan, which he had intended to use against Vice President Wilson in the military, had arrived.

"Aren't you leaving yet?"

Ernst smiled and looked at Tracys, who had already realized that he had been tricked and had a look of shame and reluctance on his face, and kindly reminded him:

"The person coming downstairs is Wilson, the Vice President of Columbia. He should also be accompanied by the head of the military in Tremont. If they notice you here, it will be bad for your plan, right?"

My plan...

You guessed my identity right from the beginning.

Theresis looked at Ernst deeply.

He admitted that he lost today.

The stereotype of the behemoth's agent paralyzed him. He was thinking seriously about what the behemoth meant, but he forgot that the person standing in front of him, Filin, although he had the identity of an agent, was still a human being.

A human being who is capable of intrigue and conspiracy, a human being with independent thoughts, and an intelligent human being.

After taking a deep breath, he finally spoke:

"tell me your name."

"I reject."

Ernst shook his head decisively.

Although his name was not difficult to find, it was a bit too stupid for him to brazenly reveal his identity when it was obvious that he had tricked Tracys.

Ernst originally planned to call himself "Nosis Edwards" to confuse Tracy, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. He and Nosis didn't have much hatred, and being targeted by Tracy was not as simple as having your head pressed into the snow.

I won't cheat him.

On the other hand, Theresis was totally surprised by Ernst's answer. He was stunned and speechless.

No, do you really need to?

You are a spokesperson for a giant beast, and you have to use your brain to scheme when you have such great abilities. That's fine. After all, you really screwed me.

But you don't even want to give me a name and I didn't even tell you clearly what I want to do to you?

What about the beast behind you? Does he not care about you? If you are so cowardly, won't you bring down his prestige?

His eyelids twitched because he was speechless. Hearing the noise coming from downstairs in the building, Tracy knew that there was no time to delay any longer.

"You have successfully caught my attention, unusual agent. I think we will meet again."

After saying a few harsh words, Tracy turned around and quickly left the laboratory.

After watching his back jump down from the building and turn into a black and red shadow, Ernst finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh, done!"

He turned around, glanced at the people who were still stunned, and covered his tiredness with a smile, and reminded:

"What are you still standing there for? Let's go, pack up, and go meet our Vice President."

Chapter 199 Wilson: Change them all!

"Rhine Life is a very good company. We must set a good example and take the lead. We must deeply implement the concept of scientific and technological innovation. While ensuring the advancement of technology, we must not forget to promote the development of small businesses around us. The future of Tremont and the future of Columbia are centered on your technology companies."

"This is what I really think. I hope Ms. Saria can understand my good intentions. The country, the government, and I personally all support you!"

Wilson subconsciously stretched out his hand, smiling, wanting to shake hands with Saria. The reporters who followed him were also ready, with their cameras set up, waiting for Saria to extend her hand in response, and then they would "open fire" to record the "President Wilson's sudden visit to Rhine Life" which would occupy the front page of the news for the next few days.

However, Saria's expression was a little embarrassed.

She looked innocently at President Wilson's outstretched right hand, then looked innocently at her own right hand which had been bandaged and hung on her chest. She wanted to say something but couldn't quite bring herself to say it.

I don’t know whether I should say “MMP” or not.

Ernst, who was a "spectator" watching this ridiculous scene, was speechless.

Don't you have any sense, kid?

Do you also want to taste the fist of the Rhine King of Fighters?

Of course, joking aside, President Wilson soon noticed Saria's embarrassment. The next second, without blushing or beating his heart, he changed his gesture of extending his hand for a handshake cleanly and neatly, raised his hand, and straightened Saria's messy coat.

At the same time, the camera started working as if it was completely unaware of what had just happened.

Presumably, the news "Vice President Wilson makes a surprise visit to Rhine Life Sciences to comfort injured researchers" will be out the next day.

It not only reflects Vice President Wilson's people-friendly attitude, but also demonstrates his concern and attention to scientific researchers. Even this title can be used in some not-so-serious wine newspapers. By mixing in some third-rate plots, you can fabricate a very topical "love story between a cold-faced scientist and a thousand-faced politician." Considering Saria's popularity in the Colombian scientific community, the sales rate of this gossip news will probably not be low.

Of course, if the protagonist is changed to Kristen, the "genius scientist whose parents have both passed away", the topic may be even more interesting.

"That's why I said that I'm not good at dealing with this kind of situation at all."

Saria sighed helplessly and rolled her eyes at Ernst.

"Can't we let Muir Seth or Little Justin do this? Or Ferdinand, aren't they more suitable than me?"

Ernst was somewhat helpless: "You have to go because you were injured in the experiment. This is an excuse."

"What's the excuse?"

"Rhine Life can both preserve its scientific research results and get rid of the military's troublesome excuse."

Thinking of the conversation between Ernst and herself a few minutes ago, Saria felt a sense of regret at this moment.

I should not have agreed to it earlier. This kind of situation is not suitable for her.

Even if gossips like the cold-faced scientist and the thousand-faced politician were to be born, it would be unlikely to happen to her. Saria got goosebumps just thinking about it. It would be better to leave this heroine to Kristen, who was hiding in the quiet of Kjerag.

But then again, Kristen just stayed in Kjerag and refused to come back, and Kjerag was Ernst's hometown. Plus, Saria had heard from little Justin that when Kristen and Ernst were negotiating, they were so straightforward that they almost thought that the commander-in-chief had been drugged by Ernst and wanted to use the lives of the Rhine to sign an unequal treaty...

All these anomalies added together, tsk, no way, could it be that Christen is really... ?

Saria took a breath of cold air, but the next moment, she interrupted her thoughts, shook her head, and threw away the strange thoughts in her mind.

She was so tired today that she had such a strange association. Christen had stayed in Kjerag because of her emphasis on the dome project to explore the sky, and the agreement signed with Ernst had now been proven to be Christen's foresight, which had brought greater value to Rhine Life. It was not a loss-making deal. Everything had a reasonable explanation, and there was no need for her to question it.

As for when Christen would come back and when her troublesome work would be finished, Saria was not very worried.

It's just that I'm a little tired during this period. Christen will come back eventually. At worst, I can go to Kjerag to find her. The place is so small, can she fly away?

In a daze and with a splitting headache, he dealt with one government reception after another, press conferences, and private interviews with the president (actually filmed openly by reporters). Until nightfall, Saria finally noticed that Ernst, who had been with him all day, walked over silently, and the reporters who had been chattering around finally stopped and dispersed at some point.

ended.

Saria heaved a sigh of relief and was about to leave when she heard Ernst, who had passed by her, remind her in a devilish voice that only the two of them could hear:

“We are just beginning now.”

The steel-like woman, the sharpest spear and shield of Rhine life, the face of Se Diamond Rhea finally revealed some unbearable sadness.

Unfortunately, she didn't even have time to vent her emotions, as Ernst and Vina walked up and greeted President Wilson enthusiastically.

"Nice to meet you, Vice President Wilson."

"Ernst Shivaash, your name has been well-known recently." President Wilson smiled and nodded, stretched out his hand to shake hands with Ernst, and glanced at Vina beside Ernst without leaving a trace, and said meaningfully, "And Ms. Vina, Prime Minister Ernst has an extraordinary subordinate."

If Wilson had some doubts at first, thinking that Vina and Ernst were more of a political alliance than a relationship between a superior and a subordinate, then this doubt was completely dispelled when he saw the two of them in person.

There was admiration, respect, and even a bit of youth in Vina's eyes when she looked at Ernst.

This cannot be described as a political alliance, a loose relationship that is brought together and divided by interests.

Tsk tsk tsk, it is not an easy task to tame a proud Aslan lioness. What's more, this is a veritable "heir to the throne".

If Ernst could help Vina restore her country, Wilson couldn't even imagine how much benefit he would get.

Wilson felt envious just thinking about it.

Unfortunately, no matter how greedy you are, it belongs to someone else. The president's order was to help Ernst as much as possible.

The great Mark Max really saw through everything and saw Ernst's political potential early on, which is why he gave him such an order. It can be expected that if Ernst can help Vina restore her country, and Columbia can help Ernst in the process, then he, the person who implemented this plan, can gain huge political prestige in the process!

Wilson the "Peacemaker", Wilson the "Righteous", Wilson the "Greatest Vice President"!

By then, his statue might be placed in the city center of every city in Colombia, like those great men in the War of Independence, for people all over the world to admire!

Thinking of this, Wilson felt numb all over.

Fantasy time, cool!

But we still have to return to reality.

As an experienced politician, he could more or less guess Ernst's intention, so he took the initiative to ask without Ernst having to waste his words:

"What happened to Ms. Saria's injury? Did something go wrong with the experiment?"

Although theoretically it was against protocol for Saria not to attend the reception when he, the vice president, came to visit, the injuries Saria had suffered were enough to make her immune to any "moral issues."

Even after simple treatment, Wilson could see the various large and small burn marks on Saria's body, plus the severe burns on her hands. She insisted on receiving him with such injuries. Wasn't this tantamount to roasting him on the moral fire?

The scientist Saria didn't understand this, but Ernst and Vina were here, so they couldn't have failed to understand. Since they chose Saria instead of other Rhine directors to come, it meant that they must have some purpose.

As expected, Ernst, who felt that it was convenient to talk to smart people, nodded, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face at the right time:

"There are indeed problems with the experiment, but they are not the main ones... The main problem is... Alas!"

Sigh!

Wilson smacked his lips, wanting to say something but stopping himself, organizing his words and sighing. The severity of this combo was extraordinary.

Although Ernst said nothing, it was as if he had said everything.

Because he has already hinted that this "major problem" will definitely involve the top leaders of Colombia and is very likely to cause trouble for him, making him a difficult target.

Considering what Vina said when she came to the Special Administrative Region to lobby her, it is not difficult to imagine that the target is the military.

Ernst was testing Wilson's attitude. If Wilson showed displeasure, he would not continue. Anyway, we all know what we should understand. If you are not happy, then we will just pretend not to understand.

But if Wilson showed a serious and fearless attitude, Ernst could just throw it directly.

Ernst thought Wilson would think about it for a while, but he didn't expect Wilson to pause for a moment, not even thinking about it, and spoke directly:

"I just said that Rhine Life is the rising star of Columbia and a role model for Tremont. Their projects (including the dome project) are of utmost importance! Anyone who dares to create problems for Rhine Life will create problems for Columbia! Prime Minister Ernst can rest assured that there is nothing to hide."

What is he afraid of? He is holding the imperial sword of President Mark Max. Let alone a military department, even if the chief of the military, General Douglas, comes to him in person, he will chop him down without hesitation.

Not convinced? If you are not convinced, you can go to the president and tell him that we are only following orders.

Ernst was a little surprised: Is it going so smoothly? Is my speech so effective?

It seems that Ers really needs to be updated. There are some classic speeches that Ernst can hardly remember. But just like when reciting ancient poems, sometimes you can recite them easily after reciting them from the beginning. When writing about that plot, Ernst can often remember some of the content of those speeches.

Add some memories and some adaptations that are consistent with Terra's history, and a Terra version of the classic speech will emerge.

After confirming the basic goal of taking two hours every day to "recall" the contents of Ers' new chapter after returning to Kjerag, Ernst said seriously:

"I am actually responsible for this. Saria was injured while trying to protect me while suppressing the experimental subject. The situation was very urgent at the time. A guy wearing a beret (Colonel Bart) received a call when the experiment was at a critical moment, which affected the operation of an operator (Holhaiya). She was too nervous and afraid that the progress of the experiment would be too late, so there was a problem with the operation for a while, which led to the loss of control of the experimental subject, the Fire Demon."

Telephone?

Vice President Wilson's mind flashed back to the scenes of the afternoon.

But soon, he manually deleted that scene from his memory.

His face was filled with anger, and he promised righteously: "I will investigate this matter thoroughly! The guy wearing a beret? Could he be from the military? Humph, the military is too arrogant! And the operator, although he has excusable circumstances, he must also be fired. This kind of person has poor psychological quality and almost caused Tremont to lose a respectable scientist!"

"In short, Prime Minister Ernst, you can rest assured that I have you covered for this matter!"
