Chapter 515 Atlanta Night Party
On the evening of October 30, a civilian passenger plane landed on the flight track of the Naval Aviation Base in Atlanta. As soon as it landed, two black extended luxury cars came up with a blue airliner bus waiting beside the runway. The airliner bus was parked under the side door of the plane, and the passenger elevator on the tail plate was lifted and extended, facing the upper side door. The side door opened, and Harman and Liddy walked out one after another.
Two black extended luxury cars were parked behind the plane's passenger elevator. A middle-aged officer of the lieutenant general class walked off the previous car, looked at Haman who was walking off the plane with deep eyes, and murmured to himself: "Harman Kahn, the former enemy has become a prominent figure in the federal government now. Is this politics?" Then he went forward and said with a welcome look: "Welcome to Atlanta, Mr. Haman."
Haman replied, "Lieutenant General Mao Rui, thank you for coming to greet him. Sorry, I can't stay for too long."
The two of them stretched out their right hands to hold each other.
Lieutenant General Mao Rui said: "The meeting of the members is about to be held. You are taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the charity meeting. This kind of kindness is really admirable. I have prepared a special car and escorted it myself. You can rest assured that although the situation is turbulent, Atlanta will be safe."
Haman smiled slightly and said, "Thank you. The Lieutenant General is cautious and meticulous, and he is as good as a general. No wonder he has received the support of many officials from the General Staff Headquarters and the Supreme Staff Meeting and has become an alternate member of the Supreme Staff Meeting. I wish you a successful election and I believe that the vast majority of the members in the Parliament will vote for approval."
Lieutenant General Mao Rui showed joy and said, "I sincerely thank you for your kind words."
The Supreme Staff Conference is the head of the General Staff that controls the army, and is a bridge between the General Staff and the Central Parliament. In the principle of preventing members from using the army to oppress the parliament, their members are entirely composed of military personnel and are functionally restrained with their nominal subordinates. Soldiers do not have the status of MPs, and MPs cannot be active-duty soldiers. Therefore, officers who control the army cannot access the highest power, and MPs with speaking power have no military strength, which not only ensures the combat effectiveness of the army, but also maintains the security of the system. However, the promotion of officers to the General Staff Conference requires parliamentary approval. Over time, the highest-ranking military figures must be demoted to themselves three points in front of an ordinary MP.
Lidi observed the two of them one after another, and used the eyes of the children of the political family to grow up since childhood to see that they were disguised. There was a hypocritical look hidden under their enthusiasm. He immediately felt contempt and said, "I clearly have different thoughts in my heart, but I showed a passionate look. They are like this, and my father is like this. Sure enough, politicians are the same. If I want me to be like this, it is better to kill me directly. It is true that I leave home and join the army. However, will the sister who chooses the fate of political marriage become the same as them?"
But the parties involved had another idea.
Lieutenant General Mao Rui served for a long time and was not accustomed to the bureaucratization of upper-class officers. He even believed that when he was promoted to this class, he should get close to politicians, live a life of half an officer and half a politician. Then he either retired as a speaker of the Supreme Staff Conference or a member of the parliament, or went further, collected enough resources and retired to run for election, was elected as a member of the Central Parliament, and officially became a politician.
Shortly after Harman entered the Earth Federation political system, he understood the rules of the game here. "People go to high places and water flows to low places", "Soldiers who don't want to be marshals are not good soldiers, and officers who don't want to enter the Supreme Staff meeting are not good officers." This theory is military knowledge. Even if there are a few aliens who claim to be noble, they will end up being marginalized. Therefore, it is possible to deal with politicians against high-ranking officers. Politics is already full of falsehood and does not have so many moral constraints.
Lieutenant General Mao Rui sent Harman to the second extended luxury car with a smile. He turned around and met Liedi. He immediately changed his color and turned to the first class in front of him with a majestic and arrogant look. Liediwan didn't expect that, he was stunned and hurriedly stood at the sight of the car ahead. Liedi lowered his hand and looked at his far away back. Liedi gritted his teeth and said in dismay: "Because the first class private I took changed his color. If I knew my surname of 'Mathernas', I would bow my head and bow. He was abominable politician and a scum of the Federal Army."
Two luxury cars were launched one after another, Lieutenant General Mao Rui's car was in front and Harman's car was behind. He drove out of the base and drove into the city next to him.
Night falls.
Harman looked at the night view of the city through the window and said, "With Lieutenant General Mao Rui and his men guarding you, you don't need to follow you."
Liddy sat opposite, lowering her head. When she heard her say it, she looked up and said, "General Lenas's order is to 'protect you', at least follow him to the charity dance scene."
Harman turned his head and said to Liddy: "The order you are performing is just a way for us to get the only son of the Matheras family out of danger. There is no need to keep our nerves tighter at Atlanta."
Liddy tightened her heart and her hands were unconsciously pinching them.
Harman asked, “Do you know who was the charity dance I was going to attend?”
Liddy frowned and had a clue.
Harman answered: "Your father, Ronan Mathenas."
Liddy said intimately, "Sure enough." He asked, "Do you want to take the opportunity to hand him over?"
Haman laughed out loud, shook his head, and said, "You are too immature and not suitable for politics. It is indeed correct to choose the military route. We have a coexistence relationship that is considered to be mutually exploited, so we don't need to take this opportunity to deliberately hand over it. There is nothing else to do when we come to Atlanta this time."
Lidi suddenly realized and asked, "You want to use me as a favor?"
"Not bad," said Harman, "It's a solid alliance!"
Liddy felt sad and silent, thinking: "I am so naive. I thought I could give up everything by leaving home. However, the burden on the surname Matheras is too huge, so huge that I can feel heavy all the time. When will I really get rid of the burden?"
Harman glanced at Liddy and smiled: "No matter how powerful Ronan Matheras is, he cannot get an active-duty soldier out of the army. Go and meet him! There is not much time for active-duty soldiers to see their families."
Liddy's heart moved and looked at Haman, and saw that the blue and purple eyes were deep and unpredictable, as if they had the magic of insight into everything, which was unsettling.
After a while, two cars parked in front of a European-style villa in Atlanta's wealthy area.
Harman got out of the car and said to Liddy who came out: "Since that's the case, you can stay here!"
Liddy nodded, watching Harman walk into the door, and kept asking in her heart: "Am I doing this right? Should I go in and meet?"
Charity can be traced back to the old century. It is a public act of the upper class to provide relief to the poor. Over time, it gradually changes from kindness to advertising hype and social communication. The charity dance is not large in scale and is not large in number, but it has a huge influence because of the two Central Parliamentary members-level figures who are scheduled to attend. Many world-class media have been waiting for it early.
In the spotlight, Harman seemed to be walking on the red carpet. After entering the villa venue, he first talked with several local powerful people, and then naturally found Ronan Mathenas, who has the dual identities of local powerful people and a member of the Central Parliament.
The two walked up to the corridor on the second floor and stood opposite each other between two supporting columns.
Ronan looked solemn and said, "The Oakland incident has had a great impact. Some people have proposed to investigate your sister Major General Lenas Phoenix for espionage. You know, although the members of the Central Parliament come from all over the world, almost all those who are in power have a background in North America. Since the war one year, the two colonial satellites fell alone have brought unprecedented trauma to North America. They are afraid of being involved in the war again, so they must find someone to vent."
Haman snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "There is no need to care for a group of timid people as timid as mice. If the Gene remnants want to wipe out the powerful and powerful people in North America, there is no need to invade at this time. Moreover, the war is on the west coast, and it is still far from the east coast."
Ronan said: "I can't tell them your original words!"
Harman said: "What they need is just a victory. As long as the front line wins, all criticisms will disappear. It doesn't matter if you don't respond for the moment. I expect good news will come from the front line in a few days."
"Why are you so sure?"
"The Gene remnants attacked the Auckland base with few troops, and now they may be hiding in the Colorado Grand Canyon. I have informed the pursuit fleet in Auckland, and the pursuit fleet should have set sail."
"The Grand Canyon of Colorado is really a good place. Going further east is the former North American granary, which is now full of colonial satellite wreckage. Anyway, it can be hidden and hidden. I'm afraid the pursuit of the fleet will not be so smooth, right?"
Haman was stunned and said, "I didn't think so much. It seems that I still need to think about it."
"As long as the situation does not continue to worsen, the North American power class will be able to deal with this. What I worry most now is not Oakland, but the missing Sadarang."
"I remember initially monitoring the Sadaran and an Ndora class landed in the Indian Ocean area, and then what?"
Ronan sighed and said with a serious expression: "In recent days, three naval reconnaissance units have lost signals in the Indian Ocean. All signs indicate that the new Gene landing troops are advancing towards the African continent."
"If the African continent is landing on the east coast and crossing the Sahara Desert, it is Dakar on the west coast. It is impossible to modify the parliamentary meeting, right?"
"That's certainly," Ronan said. "I heard that the General Staff is considering letting the pursuers go to reinforce Dakar."
"Because North American guards cannot be mobilized and there are no extra troops in other places, I aimed at the pursuit of the troops. The ground defense deployment of the Earth Federation Army is really worrying, maybe Dakar is really dangerous."
Ronan Youyou said: "Dakar fell twice when the Battle of Gripps and the first New Gene Rebellion led by Your Excellency. If it weren't for the fall of Luna V in Lhasa at the beginning of the year, Dakar would have been no longer the capital."
"Now is not the time to discuss the security of the capital, let's go to Dakar together!"
"Don't you feel fear?"
"There is nothing to worry about, there is still room for maneuver before this. By the way, there is someone who believes you want to meet."
Chapter completed!
