"Because it wasn't meant for you."
George doesn't mince words.
"When two countries go to war, it often ends with one side losing. I don't think the courage to surrender is necessarily inferior to the courage to fight to the end, but those who come after may not have this courage, so we leave a 'lock' for ourselves and those who come after us."
"Since the term of office is limited, we are not sure whether future officials will overestimate their power and make stupid moves, so it is necessary to keep this in place and make it permanent."
"As for the real 'surrender agreement'... could you please tell me its name?"
"Linga."
"learn."
George nodded solemnly, pulled a Bible from his pocket and placed his hand on it.
Other officials followed suit.
Then everyone stood at attention and solemnly issued a declaration:
"From now on——"
"We, the United States of America, unconditionally surrender to Linga, the representative of the ancient civilization."
"I swear to God that no matter what happens, I will not infringe on the rights of the other party, and I will maintain the highest level of respect and courtesy towards them. If necessary, I will provide the utmost support and always stand on the same side with the other party."
“In addition, before each president officially takes office, he must repeat the above agreement in the presence of the other party.”
Language.
Before the birth of writing.
Although no record is left, the words spoken from the mouth are often more profound to the speaker than written words.
In duplicate.
One for writing as a physical shackle.
A verbal bondage serves as a spiritual shackle.
This will have to be repeated every time there comes a change of leadership, which is tantamount to surrendering to oneself again.
Over and over again.
Keep surrendering.
Constantly bending the spine.
Strangle every spark of struggle and resistance.
Linga didn't know what to say for a moment.
Although it was not what he wanted, judging from the results, he did a better job than his fellow "Fanma Blood" compatriots from other time and space.
"Although you didn't defeat me, you completely defeated yourselves. In a way, defeating yourself is also a great thing."
"Okay, I accept this agreement."
"I'm going to Japan tomorrow. Prepare a special plane for me. Oh, and that..."
……
The moment at the museum door.
A group of officials, including George, did the same thing without any prior agreement.
That is - breathing.
The purpose is not to get enough oxygen, but to gradually regain the sense of being alive through this behavior.
"Really...are you surrendering just like that?"
One official looked dazed.
Someone sighed: "I can't imagine the public's reaction."
Someone else consoled them: "Although this is the first time since the founding of the country, the public's first reaction will only be 'How strong is the other side to force America to bow down?' Besides, we didn't lose much."
"The other party has national-level combat power, but after all, it is not a country. It is too easy for the whole country to support him alone."
"Besides, he has no intention of fighting us to the end. If the issue can be resolved peacefully, then it is better to resolve it peacefully. Surrendering does not sound good, but as long as the result is good, that is enough."
That's right.
What prompted Congress and many interest groups to change their attitudes was that they realized that as long as they gave up resistance, their opponents would lose interest and the problem would be solved.
All a brand new ecosystem needs from emergence to stability is a 'surrender agreement'.
America is still the strongest...country.
It still maintains hegemony over other countries.
on the other hand.
Although it is not dignified to be ridden on the neck by a mere person, if surrender can bring permanent peace and a closer relationship with the other party, gradually developing into an "ally", then it will undoubtedly be a great thing for America.
The strongest individual power + the strongest collective power.
This wonderful idea makes people tremble with excitement just when it appears in their minds for a moment.
Although it is extremely difficult to achieve this goal, they are all willing to work in this direction. If one generation fails, the next generation will succeed, and if the next generation fails, the next generation will succeed.
The presidential swearing-in ceremony was decided for this purpose.
However, the bright future is too far away, and someone has to be held responsible for the current losses.
Thinking of this, many people looked at George with complicated eyes.
The Secretary of State walked over and stood side by side with him, and asked casually, "Have you thought about what you will do after leaving office?"
"I'm going to go to the gym and build up a body that can rival the Governor's."
George answered without hesitation.
"what?"
The Secretary of State and the officials nearby were stunned.
"You are already over sixty years old..."
Someone persuaded him gently.
Unexpectedly, George turned his head and glanced at him calmly: "How long has it been since you last fought for yourself?"
The man spread his hands: "Ah? This... Sorry, I am an elite with excellent character and academic performance. That kind of thing doesn't suit me."
"What a pity. You know, when a person realizes that he only has one life, he can get a second one. And my life has just begun."
George's overly casual attitude seemed to have aroused dissatisfaction from other factions. Soon someone asked in a sarcastic tone: "Don't you feel ashamed at all? Not to mention the past, there will never be a president like you in the future."
"I am honored to be a president worth remembering, no matter what the reason is... As for shame, why should I be ashamed? I saved America and opened up a new path for America. What is a little sacrifice compared to the greater good?"
"Moreover——"
George loosened the tie around his neck, said something with a smile, and walked away with his head held high.
"——If you lose to him, even God will forgive you."
The others were left standing there in silence.
Primitive Man Joins the Game: 01. The Freest Man in the World
May 10th.
Haneda International Airport.
The afternoon sun was blazing, but it was nothing for the business terminal.
This is a place exclusively for VIP guests such as dignitaries, royal families, etc. from various countries, and it even has an independent helipad.
All services are fully utilized...if they are not fully utilized yet, they must be fully utilized before today.
Because a 'super heavyweight' big shot is about to arrive in the country.
When the cabinet first received the news, it was in chaos. After finally calming down and accepting this cruel reality, it immediately began to prepare for the reception.
As a result -
All cabinet members are in place without exception.
The business terminal was surrounded so tightly by the Metropolitan Police Department's mobile forces that even surveillance equipment the size of a fly would be shot down if it flew by.
Such a grand ceremony is unique in the world.
Even when facing the president of a country, it has never been so serious.
However, no one thinks it is wrong to do so.
I even felt extremely uneasy and racked my brains to think about what I had done wrong.
Therefore.
Yukinoshita Haruno was not surprised at all that she was forcibly invited to join the reception team.
Of course, there are still surprises.
And it's not just ordinary surprise.
If I have to describe it... yes, it's like knowing that my sister Yukino will get married in the future, but finding out that she actually marries me.
It’s hard to say whether it’s happiness or terror, but Yangno’s heart is definitely not as relaxed and natural as she appears on the surface.
At this moment, the 'bodyguard' next to him actually burst out laughing.
Image: "Kusakabe Asako", Location: "Images/1701850281-100388974-111097724.jpg"
"Ms. Kusakabe, please don't try to have fun when others are in great trouble. It will make people think you are gloating."
"You can't blame me for this. You would laugh if you saw it."
Asako Kusakabe, the accompanying staff member and bodyguard, looked innocent.
"Really? Tell me."
Yangno leaned forward, resting his chin nonchalantly.
The next moment, the carelessness disappeared from his face.
"It's about your partner."
"…What did Linga do again?"
Speaking of 'partners', Yang Noi had a headache again.
During the days that Linga was away from home, she encountered a lot of troubles.
As expected, many people set their sights on that piece of land.
Fortunately, the authorities intervened and stopped the most difficult part. Although the rest could be dealt with, it was not in Chiba after all, and the Yukinoshita family's face was not that easy to use, so there was a lot of pressure.
His father, who is a county council member and company president, and his mother, who holds the reins of power in the Yukinoshita family, both agree that they should sell off this "hot potato" as soon as possible and stay out of it.
But in this case, it would be impossible to keep the agreement with Linga.
There was no choice but for Yang Nai to reveal her trump card.
She knew that Linga had already dealt with the authorities, so she first went to negotiate with the authorities, confessed her partnership with Linga, sought further support, and then brought the authorities on to persuade her parents not to sell.
Finally, the three parties reached a consensus.
But the problem has not been completely solved.
As the Yukinoshita family refused to give in and the authorities took a tough stance, many people were unwilling to give in and tried to use unconventional means.
It’s not that no one was shocked by the force displayed by Linga.
It's just a sense of luck.
I always feel that even if Linga defeats the Seventh Fleet, it will not be able to fight against the entire America, and I am afraid that it will never come back.
Especially during the five days when Linga disappeared, Kusakabe Asako was extremely busy.
All kinds of shady tricks emerged overtly and covertly. If the authorities had not taken a thorough approach and obtained the support of some heavyweights, such as "Katahara Metō", forcing more than half of the people to retreat, she would have given up long ago.
But I'll only be busy for a few days.
As Linga appeared on American soil, openly kidnapped the president, hijacked a plane to land at the White House, ignored the army, and paraded the president through the city, the surroundings suddenly became much quieter.
