Chapter 584： Compromise and transaction

Once "Morning Star Casting" gains control of "Dillard", "Venus Star Pharmaceutical" will completely lose its right to speak, and the Star Alliance government will lack an important channel to intervene in the affairs of "Morning Star Casting", whether it is to Tang Fang's repression and surveillance of "Morning Star Casting" will be severely weakened. ⊙ small,

You must know that he is not like "Iga Industrial", "Ward Heavy Industries" and other military industrial enterprises. Although they have a high degree of freedom, it is difficult to pose a threat to the country. The development potential of "Morning Star Casting" is absolutely inestimable. With Captain Tang's current ability, "Mubarak" can be removed in one fell swoop. In time, one can imagine how far he will grow.

In this context, groups of large and small groups with different opinions in the parliament have begun to buck and buckle each other, each with its own rhetoric and its own concerns.

This kind of controversy continued until sns television announced the video data of the fall of "Mubarak".

In fact, the Star Alliance Navy’s reconnaissance ship has sent the latest images of “Mubarak” two days ago, confirming that the Hell’s Army has been wiped out. In the past half a month, the void outside the “Arumaga” high-altitude orbit is still like a grave. Like the field, all kinds of warship wrecks are quietly suspended in the dark space, quietly telling the grand battle.

It is true that such siege wars are nothing in the history of human star wars. The Charles Federation, the Dolanx Republic, the Sulu Empire, and the Monya Empire conducted several major battles in the Ganpuna sector are equally tragic, not to mention Said that the battle against the Jupiter Expeditionary Army in the Hellenberg defense more than 60 years ago.

There are many more massive and hotter wars than the "Mubarak" siege. The key is that there are very few battles that almost completely wipe out an entire army of nearly 4,000 warships, unless there is a mental arithmetic and it takes advantage of the time and place. , It is possible to lay a world network. And Captain Tang's troops were the siege party. The Hell Legion is the defender of the city, whether it is the right time and place, or the net of the sky, it should be the conditions that Harrington Harris has.

However, under such circumstances, Captain Tang's biological fleet slaughtered the Hell Legion cleanly, which was simply shocking.

Compared to those politicians. Commanders like David Conan know best how much force is needed to achieve this level. It is impossible for a conventional fleet of less than 8 thousand ships to achieve such a rolling effect.

The military strength of "Morning Star Casting" has far exceeded the estimation of the Star Alliance government. Once the "Mubarak" incident is known to the domestic people, Tang Fang will completely grow from a man of the wind and cloud into a legend - a legend. The people of Star League watched the shining stars growing up step by step.

His "kindness", his "passionate blood", his "kindness", his "chivalry"... these have made him gain a lot of people's hearts. Just like the last time, people can gather and march because the government persecuted him. If the intelligence of "Mubarak" was captured by the Tang side was exposed, as long as he publicized the evidence of the government's collusion with Harrington Harris and the Pirate Alliance, angry people would dare to attack Reinhardt Palace and bring Adam? Oliver and those members of Congress were beaten up.

Therefore, even if it knew that the release of the image would have a huge positive effect on the upcoming war, the government would not dare to release it until Captain Tang was settled.

They dared not release it, but Captain Tang didn't pay much attention to it. He just doesn't know what method he used. The things that the government doesn't want to see are spreading on the Internet like a plague that can't be contained. Infiltrate every corner of the Star Alliance.

Now, everyone knows that Captain Tang used his own power to avenge his hatred, and pulled out the "Mubarak", the nail that Zaire Abdul had inserted in the chest of the Star Alliance, to open up the upcoming foreign war. A good head.

While the Star Alliance people celebrated this victory in their own ways, the Star Alliance Congress was having a heated debate.

Including 24 standing members of Congress, David Conan. Military generals like Luc Stillberg, Bilbom and Ruan Tingwen, chairman of Venus Pharmaceuticals, and several staff of Adam Smith in the auditorium.

Tang Fang's announcement of the destruction of the Eye Legion is no different from an ultimatum, and the Star Alliance government must come up with a solution tonight.

The wrinkles on Bilbom's face are a bit more and deeper than they were a few months ago. Even the voice became weak, like an old man who was dying.

Over the past month or so, the stock price of Venus Pharmaceuticals has skyrocketed, and his value has also risen steadily, gathering a lot of wealth in a short period of time.

But this did not bring him happiness, on the contrary, it felt like a mountain was pressing on his shoulders.

Because he understands a truth, the higher he climbs, the harder he falls. Nowadays, the prosperity of "Venus Pharmaceutical" is only a false prosperity, just like the ephemeral flower in midsummer, it only appears for a short time and then it withers.

He knew better than anyone that "Venus Pharmaceutical" succeeded in "Morning Star Casting" and also failed in "Morning Star Casting." At the beginning, between Tang Fang and Terry Ferdinand, he chose the diametrically opposite path to Byron. The choice was objective, much more rational than Byron, but... the facts proved that he was wrong.

In his eyes, Terry Ferdinand represents the Republican Party, and the Republican Party represents half of the Star League. There is no doubt that such a backstage is taller and heavier than a mountain. However, at this moment, he is facing the end of being abandoned by the backstage.

Because Captain Tang played a beautiful scumbag and successfully disgusted all those who calculated him, the government was helpless, the Republican Party was helpless, Terry Ferdinand was helpless, and he was even more helpless.

"You can't do this, I don't agree, and I firmly don't agree to cede the'Dillard' to him."

Terry Ferdinand sat blankly in the standing councillor's seat, looking at Bilbom under the holographic projection device, hissing like a dying beast, and no guilt or sadness was revealed. On the contrary, his eyes were calm, as if it were on a TV. A soap opera has nothing to do with him, has nothing to do with his life, has nothing to do with his life.

He still wears that white silk robe, which is very eye-catching among the people in suits and leather shoes, but no one will attack him for it, not only because he is one of the 24 standing members of the Star Alliance Council, but also because he is in the entire hall. The oldest member of parliament has served as speaker, and his physical condition has not been good in recent years. Out of respect and care, no one would question his maverick dress.

Tomlinson Daller was sitting only two positions away from Terry Ferdinand. He glanced at his slightly trembling hand in his sleeve, looked at Bilbom and said: "We will not treat you badly."

Bilbom thought for a while and said, "I'm not reconciled."

Once the government announces that the right to use the "Dilal" within the lease term will be returned to "Morningstar Casting", it will inevitably have a huge impact on the "Venus Pharmaceutical". The fluctuations in the popularity of the company are still a secondary factor, and the stock price will definitely fall. Some competitors will also take the opportunity to black hands, such as revealing that the relationship between him and Tang Fang broke.

With the love of Captain Tang from the people of the Star Alliance today, knowing that Bilbom's conspiracy to "Morning Star Casting", what will happen next, can be imagined.

"Venus Pharmaceutical" will inevitably go into decline. The business empire he has worked hard to create will collapse, and will be ruined, and he will be cursed at the back of his back like O'Neill.

As the saying goes, "People are in the rivers and lakes. You can't help yourself." He thought he had set foot on a big ship, and after leaving the port, he discovered that the bow turned out to be "Titanic".

He regretted it, but he was more unwilling, unwilling to "Venus Pharmaceutical" withered and died.

David Conan is still sitting in the wheelchair, tapping the smooth leather armrest with his fingers. If you observe carefully, you will find that the beat frequency is exactly the same as the second hand of the classical wall clock hanging in the middle of the hall.

"What can you do if you are not reconciled." To be honest, he didn't like Bilbom. Because in his dictionary, failure is failure. The so-called unwillingness and reluctance to admit defeat can only show that the person is not only a loser, but also a coward.

Doing everything to fight and then fail is not a shame, on the contrary it is glorious, because fighting itself is a kind of effort and effort. But... not acknowledging your failure and finding reasons for failure is the real shame.

"Once he makes the video information public, the'Venus Star' still has only one way to go bankrupt. At that time. Your ending will be 100 times worse than now."

David Conan’s words are very reasonable. If Bilbom concedes his defeat and gives up the right to use “Dillard”, “Venus Pharmaceuticals” will gradually decline and die. He can still spend his old age in peace, but if Tang Fang was angered, and he took the evidence to bring "Venus Pharmaceutical" to the Union Court. What awaited him was not only the bankruptcy of "Venus Pharmaceutical", but also the charge of treason. That was the real stigma.

Bilbom fell silent again, his expression on his face was like changing weather, with many colors and many expressions.

An Asian congressman next to Tomlinson Daller said: "As long as we are here, you still have a chance to make a comeback."

Ruan Tingwen, who had been silent all the time, raised his head and glanced at him, his not so clear pupils contained a lot of grievances.

The speaker was his grand-uncle Lu Yuankui.

In fact, Lu Yuankui did not want the "Venus Pharmaceutical" to decline. After all, the Ruan family is close to him, and Bilbom has "filial piety" every year, but it is a pity that Tang Fang has issued an ultimatum. Under the current social background, this matter Once the trouble is big, he is likely to follow in the footsteps of O'Neill, lose his reputation and lose the opportunity to realize his life ideals and political ambitions.

That sentence is a promise to Billbom, and it is also a temptation or threat to many congressmen.

"Venus Pharmaceutical" can make concessions, but the two parties in the parliament must guarantee the interests of Bilbom.

Captain Tang’s forced courtship caused great pressure on the Star Alliance government, but it also gave the Republican an opportunity to coerce the ruling Liberal Party to pay for this failure.

The expressions of Tomlinson Daller, Peggy Gasol and other representatives of the Liberal Party and Adam Oliver changed slightly, but they did not speak, apparently acquiescing to Lu Yuankui's promise.

This is the case in politics. A compromise on interests often requires more compromises to facilitate.

Human nature is complex and changeable, and a society composed of people also inherits such attributes.

Bilbom is not a fool, let alone an idiot, and he is not defeated by the many MPs present. Lu Yuankui's seemingly simple sentence just now contained much deep meaning. He knew well that he knew better about the embarrassment faced by "Venus Pharmaceutical".

Just like David Conan said, if Tang Fang is not satisfied, Venus Pharmaceuticals will not only go bankrupt for this, but he and Ruan Tingwen may be labelled as treason, even the parliament, government, and military. It is impossible to be spared, and it is bound to throw out a few to calm public opinion.

At that time, he also faced the resentment of the two parties in Parliament. It is even possible to be assassinated by extremists in order to avenge his ignorance.

What the Star Alliance needs is the "Morning Star Casting" biological warship modulation technology, as well as allies like Captain Tang. People like him are not rare in the Tianchao area, so they are in the eyes of the Star Alliance government. Which one is more important than Captain Tang and he is an easy question to answer.

It's just that... Judging from the current situation, the Star Alliance government's "radish + stick" method used the wrong target.

In fact, the expressions on his face such as unwillingness, embarrassment, downfall, sadness, etc. contained more false feelings and less true feelings. He was just advancing with retreat, cooperating with Lu Yuankui to sing double reeds, so as to get more benefits for himself.

There is a saying that is right, crises and opportunities coexist. Really smart people can turn crises into opportunities. Bilbom is such a person, as are Lu Yuankui and Terry Ferdinand.

Those Liberal Party guys want to watch the excitement on the wall? Or step on a dog at a critical moment?

No doors! If you have money, you can make money together, and if you have difficulty, you can resist together. The so-called political rules are that you have me and I have you. Everyone rolls over in this quagmire. No one wants to be clean, no one wants to be detached.

to be honest. It is to turn the country into a power game for a few people in the name of politics and rules. Real politics. There is no simple right or wrong, and there is no pure win or loss. It is an existence close to "Tao".

In fact, it is an art like music and painting, but unfortunately there are very few qualified viewers. The people who talk about national affairs in the streets and alleys every day are mostly half-hearted.

"Chairman, you agree...We are businessmen." The speaker was Ruan Tingwen, who had never spoken.

Bilbom raised his head, looked at the conspicuous constellation flag under the light, looked at the large and small red stars in the grid, and said: "The conscience of capitalists. The credit of politicians is the most untrustworthy thing in the world."

Ruan Tingwen was speechless for a while.

The atmosphere in the hall has become a little exciting.

David Conan lowered his head slightly, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Luc Stillberg's eyes were calm, looking carefully at the stagnant pool deep in the valley.

Terry Ferdinand put his hands together, his eyes squinted into a line, looking like he was too tired and could not stand it up, he had fallen asleep.

Lu Yuankui was a little bit dumbfounded, as if with emotion that Billbom was too direct and didn't save face.

Tomlinson Daller had a grim face and sat in the standing council without a word.

Peggy Gasol’s pupils were shining with angry flames, more gorgeous than the dome-shaped star crystal matrix. He looked at Terry Ferdinand, then at Lu Yuankui, and finally at Billbom’s face. , His eyes are like sharp razors.

A man stood up in the corner and said, "What do you want?"

He is a mixed race, with Indian eyes and Germanic body shape. He looks quite fit. If he is 20 years younger, he will definitely attract the big girls and little daughters-in-law in the square outside to scream.

Bilbom avoided Peggy Gasol’s hostile gaze and fell on the man’s face, remembering that his name was Les Adinan, from the presidential palace and one of Adam Oliver’s staff.

Bilbom took a deep breath and said, "The decline of'Venus Pharmaceuticals' is a foregone conclusion. I must be responsible for other members of the board of directors, and responsible for those employees who have devoted half of their life to'Venus Pharmaceuticals'."

"Needless to say, it's so sensational." Les Edinan said blankly.

Bilbom said: "I want the mining rights of the Ayaros star system."

After saying a word, the meeting scene became silent, no one spoke, but it gave people a feeling of fullness.

Those communications don’t need language, just eye contact is enough.

Tang Fang smashed the hard bone of the Eye Legion and destroyed all the military facilities of "Mubarak". This was a heavy blow to the Sulu Empire, but it was of great strategic significance to the Star Alliance.

The garrison navy in Ayalos-Koplin-Srandal No Man’s Land has begun to advance in the direction of "Mubarak". If there is no accident, the main battlefield of the Star Alliance and the Sulu Empire will advance to the area around "Mubarak". As long as the Star Alliance Navy does not suffer a huge defeat in the battle on the front line, the no man's land will be completely controlled by the Star Alliance government. The Ayalos star system, which was originally close to the border between "Mubarak" and the Sulu Empire, is a mineral-rich star system. In addition to zero elements, the seven planets of the system contain titanium, manganese, palladium, iridium, cesium, etc. Kind of resources needed for aerospace industry.

In the past, "Ayalos" was located between "Mubarak" and the border of the Sulu Empire. No company dared to set up an operating base there. After the war between the Group of Eight and the Jupiter Expeditionary Army ended, the Star Alliance had long Weakness, the country’s development direction is biased towards economic construction, and the strategic focus is on keeping a low profile. Since the Sulu Empire did not move forward after occupying the “Mubarak”, the Star Alliance government did not develop the no-man’s land. It serves as a military buffer zone.

Today is different from the past. In terms of overall national strength, the Star Alliance is even higher than the Sulu Empire. Coupled with the advancement of the navy stationed in the no man’s land, the conditions for resource development of the "Ayaros" are mature, and the "Ayaros" is a name that exists only in name The right to use "Dilal" in exchange for the resource development right of "Ayalos" is, no matter how you look at it, a profitable transaction, not to mention that this resource development right can be transferred to seek greater commercial benefits. .

Bilbom was very clever, and hit his idea on "Ayalos". The business of mining mineral resources like this is actually not high-tech. The biggest difficulty lies in the government's grant of mining rights.

After "Venus Pharmaceutical" and "Morning Star Casting" part ways, they will definitely go downhill and there will be no future. Mining in "Ayalos" is definitely a huge profit, without being controlled by the people, but a long-term business, and because it is a cooperative relationship with the government, under the binding of interests, it is a grasshopper on a rope to some extent. , Both can achieve business transformation, and can catch up with the state machinery like the Star Alliance government.

Les Edinan did not reply, but looked at Tomlinson Daller and Peggy Gasol.

A person behind him called the office of the President of Reinhardt Palace to report to Adam Oliver on the current situation.

"This is the idea you gave him." Peggy Gasol is a gloomy old man who looks a bit abhorrent, but his tone of voice is much slower than that of other congressmen, making it difficult to distinguish him. Is it a good temper or a bad character?

Terry Ferdinand did not speak, and in response only coughed slightly.

"Good calculation." Peggy Gasol looked at Les Edinan, her head.

The Liberal Party is the current ruling party. On the surface, it looks like a lot of glory. In fact, there are many things that need to be paid attention to. If Tang Fang makes the video information public, the current government will be most affected, not the Republicans.

Bilbom is grasping the weakness of the Liberal Party, and his backstage is the Republican Party, so there is no need to worry about offending the government in the future.

Adam Oliver and David Conan persuaded Billbom to compromise and transfer the right to use "Dillard". Naturally, the government must also make concessions. Only characters like Terry Ferdinand can balance and balance. The play is so proficient and perfect.

At the same time, the man behind Les Edinan hung up, whispering in his ear.

"Okay, the mineral mining rights of'Ayalos' belong to you. In exchange,'Venus Pharmaceuticals' transferred the right to use the'Dilal' to'Morning Star Casting' ~ www.novelhall.com~ for the transaction."

Bilbom agreed very simply, and his originally cloudy face finally squeezed out a smile, which made him look more angry, no longer like a dying person.

On the other hand, Ruan Tingwen looked at Lu Yuankui fiercely, with some kindness and gratitude in his eyes.

…………

Two hours later, a black car drove into the courtyard of a private villa on the outskirts of the Star Alliance’s capital "Grinier" on a green hill halfway up the mountain.

Terry Ferdinand, with a tired face, walked into the two-story building directly opposite the fountain in the courtyard with the help of two entourages.

The living room is very quiet, and the holographic projection device facing the sofa is playing a life-themed movie, but there is no sound. No matter how beautiful the picture is, how the actor's expression is in place, it always lacks a taste and is not so perfect.

Hamlet lay on the sofa like a drunkard. The stubble on his chin had grown a secret layer, and it was as hard as the brush he had just bought. (To be continued...)
