Chapter 539 Barnes' Fantasy

[Countdown to unstable energy burst: 12 hours]

In New York, Barnes's plane landed at the airport. He wore an oxygen mask on his face and closed his eyes, looking very tired.

As he is about to turn 100 years old, flying for more than two hours will make him feel weak and he needs to take oxygen regularly.

The chair under him continuously releases weak currents, stimulating his muscles to slightly inflate. The blood flows faster due to muscle contraction and squeezing, ensuring his health and ensuring that his brain will not become confused.

On the tablet in front of him was Roxon's message.

[Dario: Congratulations, President-elect Barnes, we’d better arrange your appointment as soon as possible. The situation waits for no one. 】

[Dario: But I still have to say, I don’t think giving the speech in New York is a good choice. We could have given Atlas Group a head-on blow. As long as you choose to give the victory speech in Houston, investors will be more Have confidence. 】

[Dario: It’s still too late to change the itinerary now, it can be done at any time. 】

[Barnes: Why are you so anxious? Didn’t I help you build a bridge with the Ministry of Defense? 】

[Barnes: Look, I want to give a victory speech here, and you know the gimmick I used to run: I'm a decorated World War II veteran and I'm going to lead voters out of jail. 】

[Dario: Win another war, don’t forget this. 】

[Dario: Remember our agreement, Mr. President-elect, your recent behavior has made investors hesitant, and I, I am very dissatisfied. 】

[Dario: Remember, I, we are all watching you. 】

Communication was interrupted and the plane landed smoothly. Barnes took off his mask, looked at the ceiling and sighed.

"Those who don't know better think I'm here to work for the company."

After sighing, he looked out the window and saw Leer already waiting in the terminal.

Obviously, within this day, Lille will rely on getting close to him as the president to release some news to the outside world. This news will definitely make Roxon angry——

Their concealment is over. From now on, they will continue to test Roxon's bottom line. It's best.

It would be best if he could mediate and mediate the struggle between the two groups and smoothly transition the society to the development stage. Instead of being like this now, there may be two parties with different views marching on the street, and a fight may start in the next second. A super brawl.

Yes, in this political and interest struggle, Barnes actually had his own ideas. He was totally trying to win Roxon's support for peaceful dealings, and then told Lille that he could cooperate in calming down the civil war craze. From the beginning to the end, I never thought about which side I wanted to help.

A mature politician likes to engage in this kind of multi-party balance.

Thinking about how to explain to Lille and how to control the situation, he quickly stepped off the plane. Lille was also standing next to his car waiting. Mayor Anthony was also standing next to him. Beside him were other important people. State and city officials.

Further away are American soldiers and reporters. This scene of the meeting will definitely be seen by Roxon——

But it’s not too sensitive, because this is New York. He has to meet with local officials after landing, and local officials will definitely arrange for Lille to be here.

After the two walked in, they exchanged friendly smiles, shook hands, and then took photos in front of the media at the same time.

While taking pictures, Leal said: "I hope that after my victory speech, you can go to the industrial residential area rebuilt by Lee Financial. Hell's Kitchen was once a part of it, but now it has been built in an orderly manner.

This would increase the nation's confidence in options other than war, and it would also deal a financial blow to Rockson's gang, which would probably make him stupid.

As a listed company, if they can win over their investors' intentions, they will suffer a major blow. After getting rid of them, we can accelerate economic revitalization. "

Barnes' expression didn't change much and he shook his head slightly: "I want to see it too, but I'm almost 100 years old. I want to take a rest after winning the election."

Lille instantly understood what Barnes was thinking——

Because he just saved a politician in the cyberpunk world who likes to walk a tightrope between companies.

The two of them walked slowly side by side under the aisle of dignitaries. Lille said in a voice that only they could hear:

"Mr. President-elect, I know what you are thinking. You think you can give me a date and give Roxon a handful of candies to resolve the conflict between us and allow the country to develop in a stable manner.

As long as the economic and employment problems are solved, the contradictions will disappear. "

Barnes didn't feel like he had been seen through at all, but continued to say slightly surprised: "You think too much."

"It doesn't matter, I respect your idea."

Lille interrupted him, which really surprised Barnes. Although his performance was still very weak, he did not continue to defend.

Lille continued: "I respect your ideas, but maybe you are actually more accepting of Roxon's ideas in your heart. You want to establish the country's dominance wholeheartedly. You think I am a shameless virgin who actually funds other countries to fight against your own country.

It's just that you have also seen the situation of the domestic economy and the compromise of Atlas's role in stimulating the economy.

Or the other way around, you think I'm right, but you have to take care of the U.S. military, those hapless soldiers who have nowhere to go if military spending is cut.

It doesn't matter. I can give you time. After all, you are still the president elected by public opinion. At least you did not completely side with Roxon, but followed public opinion: since the vote gap is not big, you should talk to both sides. "

The two continued to move forward, and Lille opened the car door for Barnes.

The president-elect looked at Lille deeply: since Lille could see it, Roxon might also be able to guess something, but the latter did not point it out at all, but warned him with a veiled tone.

In comparison, he felt that Lille was more open.

Lille continued: "But some people will never be satisfied. I have a hunch that today he elected the president to control the ruling power, and tomorrow he can elect the parliament to control the legislative power. After that, he will start to explain the law and tell you how to understand the words on paper. "

"Aren't you the same? Mr. Li, in my opinion, you are all companies, and you are just interpreting the world with your own perspective and thoughts.

No country will like a company that helps other countries fight against itself. Some people hate you for a reason. I can't stand on your side directly.

And there are too many unemployed people who think you have handed over job opportunities to African blacks. "

Lear nodded slightly: "Maybe, anyway, I respect your choice. Atlas is a law-abiding company."

"Law-abiding companies will not sink aircraft carriers."

"That is also legal. It was the US military that broke into the African Union border without authorization. Secondly, abiding by the law does not mean being weak-Mr. President-elect, I am absolutely restrained enough."

Barnes paused in the car, looked at Lear, and sighed.

"I really don't want to fight anymore, but I always serve the country. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand. Congratulations, Mr. President-elect. "

Barnes said nothing more. The two adjusted their expressions, shook hands again and hugged gently. Then the president-elect got into the car, and the group boss stood where he was.

Lille watched the car leave under escort, with a lot of thoughts in his mind -

He has lived two lives. He was not angry because of Barnes's certain inconsistency, and he did not secretly bear a grudge.

On the contrary, he had a feeling of seeing his former self.

A country is the product of irreconcilable conflicts between different interest groups. It can be said that it is precisely because of the existence of various conflicts and the mediation and regulation of politicians that there are countries in the world.

Barnes felt that he loved the national flag, the flag The Star-Spangled Banner, he will serve his last battle.

However, this is like four people in a dormitory, three of them quarrel every day, and you mediate every day for harmony. In the end, everyone chooses you as the dormitory leader. You draw a picture as a symbol of dormitory friendship, hoping that everyone can look at this picture, try to give in, and resist the temptation to argue over trivial matters.

Instead, you should play to your strengths. Those who love sports can encourage others to exercise, and those who love studying can encourage others to study hard, and everyone can make progress every day, and everyone can have fun together.

But how can you love the process of mediating?

As a dormitory leader, you have to mediate between them, and this is your responsibility.

But in fact, as a person Of course you have your own inclinations. Your original intention of mediation is that each of these three bastards has some shining points, so you don't want to see their relationship getting worse and worse, and finally someone even hits the other person's head with a small hammer.

For Barnes, what he really loves certainly does not include large-scale unemployment, people are desperate and homeless, and a large number of innocent people overseas are bombed and die in ignorance and fear.

In the contradiction, he became confused on the road to seeking the function of his position and the meaning of his life.

He doesn't know if he is right or not. Maybe he is right. The two sides finally go hand in hand, the country overcomes the difficulties, and the world follows Stability.

Maybe he was wrong, and more people will die because of this

But no one can really predict the future.

The old man looked at the sun outside the window absentmindedly, and suddenly thought of the day decades ago when he chose to join the army after hearing that Pearl Harbor was bombed.

That day, he happily found his good brother Steve Rogers to show off his military registration certificate, but surprisingly, he also wanted to join the army!

The skinny guy in his memory appeared in front of him. The skinny guy was surrounded and beaten by bullies in the alley, and he helped the skinny guy out.

The skinny guy finally wore a big mecha and rescued him from a group of German soldiers in a very arrogant manner, and also told him:

"Don't do anything stupid before I come back."

Barnes laughed suddenly

"How could it be? You have done all the stupid things."
