Him and their stars

Chapter 153
Generally speaking, for this kind of charity banquet, the bigger the person, the later they should come.Those present today are basically rich businessmen of ordinary grades, and the biggest figures are a deputy mayor and two councilors from Wudu; and people like Marshal Paris will not even come until tomorrow.

This cannot be called formalism, but a conventional sense of ritual!

Sure enough, there must be other reasons for a big man like Admiral Schwartz to visit Vincent so early.

Yu Lian felt that he might come into contact with some secrets that he hadn't discovered in his previous life. Although his eyes were not abnormal, his mood was naturally excited.

The luxurious suite they are in should have a living room, a master bedroom, a second bedroom and a study room. Lieutenant General Vincent and Admiral Schwartz are now in the study room, and there are only two of them.

The probe of the hummingbird drone passed through the gap in the ventilation duct, and the gloomy face of Admiral Schwartz was immediately seen.The drone turned its angle slightly again, finally including Lieutenant General Vincent's face in one shot.

"Old senior... You want to do something for the veterans, I am very supportive. Our government, to be honest, most of the time, I am sorry for the veterans. Therefore, I am also willing to do what I can. I'll give you some help." Admiral Schwartz paused for a moment, showing a righteous expression: "It's just, old senior, that's all I can do. It's very difficult for you to resume active duty now. Now I can’t come up with a post worthy of your rank.”

Your Excellency the Chief of Staff showed a shameful and helpless expression, and said firmly: "I'm really sorry! But, I have my stand, so I must persist! Your treatment as a lieutenant general is lifelong. I can promise!"

Vincent pondered for a few seconds, then laughed "haha".

"Dawn, the military has paid me back the salary I haven't paid for [-] years plus bank interest. I'm already satisfied. Moreover, in my current situation, if I really want to return to active duty, many people will really I will feel restless. It is indeed better for me to stay in the private sector, which will make everyone feel at ease." He paused for a while, and then changed a solemn tone: "What happened in the Big Apple City yesterday, you Have you heard?"

Admiral Schwartz's expression did not change, and he said in a relaxed tone: "Of course I heard about it. However, this kind of thing happens every once in a while."

"Then, behind this incident, there are also the Unity of Souls, the Lumina rebels, and a lot of contraband. You should know this, right?"

The chief of staff restrained his smile and fell silent, but there was a trace of sharpness in his eyes.

"The planet Lumina and the three surrounding galaxies have been blocked by the outer ring fleet. However, we can't starve all the people of Lumina to death. This so-called blockade is only of a military nature, and there are still many It slipped through the net. As far as I know, some time ago, there was a cargo ship named Candide, which was registered in Minlan Republic, and just came back from the outer ring... His captain, nicknamed Candid Plank, is an alliance Citizen, but true All Souls."

Minch Vinson, in collusion with All Souls?No, or should there be a partnership?This is hard to say!

"Citizens of the Union..." Admiral Schwartz showed a troubled expression.

"Because you are a citizen of the Union, you can only say such things in private. What's the matter, Dawn, don't tell me, you have become a well-behaved and honest person now." Vincent sneered.

The Chief of Staff couldn't help but smile, but his eyes turned colder: "Senior, how do you know this?"

"I was imprisoned in the empire for eighteen years, and I sat there for eighteen years. I didn't learn much, but I made a lot of friends. Now I have some information channels that belong to me." Vincent said with a smile: "Let the Blue Star Guard follow this line to investigate. Of course, it's your freedom to believe it or not!"

Admiral Schwartz looked him up and down, with too much suspicion and scrutiny in his eyes.

"Old senior, you are not going to be my informant, are you?" he asked.

"No, it's just a small return. I really hope to do something for veterans like me while I can still do something, but I'm also a person who can't stand loneliness. I really don't I thought about going back to the military, but it would be nice to try to become a mayor or a congressman." Vincent said with a very calm attitude.Perhaps it was because he was too calm that General Schwartz's face on the opposite side softened a little.

"However, to do this, I need prestige, so I need to make the foundation bigger and bigger. And all of this is inseparable from the support of the big men in the military."

Schwartz nodded, feeling that what the other party said was quite reasonable. "Didn't you also invite Marshal Paris?"

"Not only him, but also some other old men who are very prestigious in the army. But...they are outdated after all. I need their reputation among the people and ordinary soldiers, but that's all."

"Old senior, you have really changed a lot."

"I've been sitting there for eighteen years. If it's still the same as before, the problem will be even bigger." Lieutenant General Wen Sen said with a smile: "Besides, believe it or not, I am indeed still a soldier on Earth who loves our country .Dawn, I am very happy to hear that an excellent person like you can control the army. So, don't be too suspicious, just consider me as a partner."

Admiral Schwartz nodded.

Of course, he couldn't believe everything in the other party, but he still showed a smile and said: "...I am still an active soldier. I can't be a consultant for your foundation organization, and I can't receive your salary. However, I can introduce some Here it is for you. The Office of Military Personnel, oh, and the person in charge of the Veterans Liaison Department, I will greet them in advance, and you can just come to the door directly."

"That's really a big thank you."

"You are too polite! Instead, I want to thank you on behalf of the retired soldiers."

With impeccable diplomatic delays and a few more drinks, the two seemed to grow closer.

"Good, but at least"

"I'll have Frank come and visit you in a few days."

"Frank? Brigadier General Francis Morey?" Lieutenant General Vincent's tone seemed to have a hint of embellishment.

Not to mention him, even Yu Lian, who was observing like that, was slightly taken aback.It's not that I was surprised to hear the name again at this time, but I was surprised by Admiral Schwartz's attitude.Judging from his tone, it seems that he has a close relationship with the second in command of the Blue Star Guard.

...No, can't you?Yu Lian couldn't help thinking a little more, and couldn't help but get goosebumps all over again.

"Yes, he should have come to visit earlier, but now, he has also found some clues in the Big Apple City, and he is too busy to get away." Admiral Schwartz paused for a moment, and then said: " Frank is trustworthy and an expert in this field! When the time comes, you know what, even if you talk to him, it will be ruined."

"I've heard his name before, and he is indeed a trustworthy person." Lieutenant General Wen Sen said with a smile.There was nothing flawed in his expression or tone of voice.

Afterwards, the two began to chat casually, seemingly speculatively.

These two people even ate lunch in the room, and they acted like a romantic relationship, and they talked like a joyous one.Unfortunately, there has been no particularly noteworthy information since then.

But even so, Yu Lian couldn't leave, so he could only continue to secretly observe and wait for orders while eating red bean bread.After all, no one can guarantee whether or not they will reveal some serious news.

Intelligence gathering is really unromantic, this kind of drudgery is often done!
Of course, additional benefits are not entirely absent.For example, Yu Lian was basically sure that Admiral Schwartz did not intend to become Wen Sen's little partner.In the world line of his previous life, he should have maintained his current attitude and only regarded the other party as a cooperating and usable informant.How did he know that this expired lieutenant general who seemed to have completely turned into a businessman had a monster hidden in his belly?
After that, there will be seminars and charity receptions.

Just like the information collected by Yu Lian before, the people who came to the reception today are indeed very ordinary wealthy businessmen and politicians, who can be regarded as the grassroots in the "upper class".The biggest figure, besides Admiral Schwartz, is the president of Blue Label, Mellen Kolder.

The process of the reception was boring, but Vincent's eloquence was quite good. He successfully convinced the people present that the establishment of a mutual aid organization for veterans and a charitable foundation could give them real benefits.So, generally speaking, a lot of money was raised, which is a good start for tomorrow's second reception.

Of course, Yu Lian was even more bored.He could only hide in the room of the small hotel, and while eating takeaway, he patiently listened to the adults talking about their polite greetings and flattering each other all night.

Finally, after the reception was over and Wen Sen returned to his room, he still said something dry.

"Francis Morey is not easy to deal with. We have to finish the work here before he arrives. At that time, you'd better go out and avoid it."

"Understood, I have already contacted MP Applewood. He promised to meet tomorrow afternoon." It was his secretary who answered.

"Tomorrow afternoon? The reception is evening, right? Yes. Where is it?"

"...at the Fog City Light Year Stadium! It's [-]:[-] in the afternoon."

"... I remember, there will be a game tomorrow, right?"

"Yes, the knockout match of the Galaxy Champions Cup, Wudu Arsenal vs. Tamil Red Knights. There are at least 20 fans present."

"Heh... I don't know if it's too creative or too cautious." Vincent sneered: "Anyway, help me prepare. To be honest, I'm also quite interested in this game."

　I'm finally home meow, it's a bit late, but at least I didn't delay until tomorrow, right?
