death of hope

Chapter 303 "Corporate Warrior" (219) Assassination
Contrary to the previously expected verbal confrontation, the two bigwigs had lunch together in a harmonious atmosphere.

"Mr. Matsushita, to celebrate the reconciliation between our two families, I invite you to visit the Bruges farm, where we brew the best guava sparkling wine."

"Unfortunately, the old man still has other plans. He will leave for York City tomorrow."

"Yorktown...that polluted industrial city...it's nice to stay in Buenos Aires and enjoy the blue sky, and it's a pain to go there."

"No way, something happened to the branch over there, so I have to go to the town hall."

"Well, I won't ask any more questions."

"Speak, Herr Maximilian."

"Ok?"

"Before you entered the atmosphere on the starship, did you notice the fleet moored at the planetary fortress?"

"I see, there are a lot of them. The arms manufacturer who won the bid must be very happy."

Matsushita Juhei handed over a newspaper:
""Pioneer Newspaper"? Mr. Matsushita really has leisure time and ambitions. It is not a pleasure to read this kind of opposition party newspaper."

"Before it happens, you can read this article, the article in the upper right corner of the second edition, starting from the third line."

"The skyrocketing military spending, the inevitable increase in federal taxation, the politicians and the military-industrial complex earning a lot of money, the weight of the top of the pyramid is getting heavier and heavier, and it is bound to cause another crisis. Waves of social unrest…”

"It's provocative, isn't it?"

"The author of the article...David Shiner, ha, that troll commentator supported by the opposition media, that guy's mouth is like a stinking cesspit, and it's not surprising that he said any nasty things."

"The circulation of newspapers of the opposition media is increasing, and in this city, they can be bought at the newsstands on the streets of Buenos Aires, the mecca of holiday conferences that are fully controlled by the capital."

"There's no way, our media is doing bad things. They just take money and don't do anything, and they are taken advantage of by others."

"What's terrible is that the views expressed in this article are becoming a reality. The workers of the York City Auto Industry Association are organizing a general strike. All three of my car companies have stopped production. That's why I'm going there tomorrow."

"I see."

"It's not fair. We provide jobs. Workers don't appreciate it. They blame it. The unions are blind assholes who take their anger out on corporations, not on corrupt senators."

Maximilian just smiled, ate a snack, and did not respond. The giant bodyguard beside him changed his posture.

Matsushita Juhei's words annoyed Lynch. The old man arrogantly criticized workers and trade unions, exuding the stench of capital, but as an employee of a company, he could only sulk.

"Speaking of senators." Matsushita Juhei picked up the sashimi, rinsed it in the sauce, swallowed it in one gulp, and continued:

"Red Party Senator Greg was assassinated, what's your comment?"

"Shocked, angry, I don't know who is behind it, animal behavior!

Shot and killed grandpa at someone's kid's birthday party. "Maximilian put down the knife and fork politely, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and emphasized the word again:

"Animal beast."

"The world is getting worse, political struggles are getting more and more limitless, and there are three murders in one month."

"Now the most fearful thing is the Green Party. They are afraid of retaliation from the Red Party. More than 20 people have turned to the neutral alliance to protect themselves. There are so many young people."

"The members of the Red Party think that they are taking risks for the benefit of the company and want a higher price, and we have to pay for these."

"Money can be given, but we must prevent them from making small moves and creating conflicts between enterprises, forcing us to flatter politicians. The settlement reached by our two companies today can be regarded as an example."

"I totally agree with your point of view. They are all Conservatives. There is no need to fight to the death for some contradictions."

"Temporarily put aside partisan disputes and unanimously speak out. We are not yet strong enough to fight the federal system."

"The latest polls in the last quarter show that federal citizens call for limiting the power of big companies, and hope that parliament will restart the anti-monopoly law and the anti-unfair competition law."

"We are paying the price for our arrogance, the bumpkins we once looked down upon. Has become a serious problem,

The Federal Patriotic Front is influencing public opinion and votes. The opposition coalition won 29 seats in the mid-term elections, which is worthy of vigilance. "

"These guys are even thinking about constitutional amendments."

"Members are greedy and corrupt moths. Under the current situation, they have to increase the budget for political donations. We must suppress the rise of the opposition coalition and maintain the majority status of the red party and the green party."

"The scene from 15 years ago has happened again. We still use the old methods to deal with it, bribing officials and the media, and resisting the pressure of public opinion. I don't think people from the Green Party will jump out to make trouble at this time."

"That's right, on this issue, the red party and the green party have the same interests, and neither the conservatives nor the radicals, nor the capital tycoons behind the backstop should stay out of it.

I absolutely cannot tolerate a company that has devoted all my life to being split into hundreds or thousands of small companies by some stupid amendment. It is absolutely intolerable! "

Speaking of this, Matsushita Juhei poured down a glass of sake with his neck up, and his tone was very worried:
"There are more and more small groups like the Brotherhood of the Blood Cross against us. That kind of terrorist organization is okay. They kill innocent people indiscriminately and are unpopular. The worst thing is those cockroaches! Damn cockroaches!"

Maximilian just smiled and nodded in agreement, but Lynch had a big question mark in his heart:
(Cockroaches? I've seen similar information on Tywell's blog, what the hell do they mean?)

Talking until about two or three o'clock in the afternoon, Matsushita Juhei was too old to drink, and after signing the contract document, he was escorted away by his subordinates.

A large number of McMillan employees who were guarding the hotel finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the most worrying situation did not appear.

After resting in the hotel for half an hour, Mr. Maximilian was also preparing to leave the city. The McMillan company team was waiting outside the east gate of the hotel, and the Sakura Co., Ltd. helicopter was parked on the roof without interfering with each other.

Formal media reporters and tabloid paparazzi are like flies smelling blood, setting up their guns and short guns early, waiting to take photos to harvest traffic.

(cockroach……)
Lynch had doubts in his heart, but he never let up in the slightest. It wasn't until the CEO safely arrived at the star port that the mission of the Alpha team was considered a success.

16:03 The scorching sun in Buenos Aires gradually cooled, Maximilian walked through the revolving door and walked to the special car on the red carpet.

For a moment, the "click click" flashes almost blinded people. This is the moment when security work is most prone to omissions.

The Alpha Tactical Squad wearing high-tech armor surrounded the CEO of McMillan in the center, and ordinary bodyguards in suits scattered around the periphery. The reporters desperately stretched their arms and held the microphones:

"Mr. Maximilian! Are the rumors about your violent wife true?"

"Will McMillan participate in the second round of arms bidding?"

"Is Sir Henry McCarthy your bastard son?"

"Please keep your distance!"

The noisy crowd crowded and pushed each other, like a rugby game with no limit on the number of people, the scene became chaotic,

Having just resolved a corporate war crisis, Maximilian seemed to be in a good mood, wearing sunglasses and waving to reporters frequently.

Seeing the possibility of the target being interviewed, the media rushed forward frantically, and a flower girl carrying a basket was also involved.
It was a girl in Bavarian national costume. She looked twelve or thirteen years old. She was crushed and trampled by adults. Her long orange-red hair was scattered and her blue eyes were full of tears. She looked at the trampled baskets and flowers. She was very pitiful. .

I don't know if I want to show off in front of the media, or the awakening of the chivalry of the family blood,

Maximilian pushed away Wang Hongye and Lodayev, walked over, and tried to help the girl up:

"Hey! You're crowding the kids! Get out of the way!"

The CEO broke away from the security team. At this moment, no one expected that the media people rushed over like crazy. Photos are money, and more people were trampled.

The two giants, Lynch and Sigdelifa, roughly tore apart the reporter and the video blogger, and forced their way over.

"Don't cry, child, I'll buy all your flowers!"

Maximilian helped the flower girl to stand up and wiped her tears with an expensive silk handkerchief.

"Uncle, do you like golden chrysanthemums?" the girl asked.

"What did you say?"

At this moment, Lynch's voice sounded on the Alpha Squad channel:
"There's something wrong with that kid! I sense killing intent with psionic energy!"

"Scanned a detonator! That's a human bomb!"

At this time, it is too late to deploy the shield defense according to the procedure.
Sigurdriefa reacted extremely quickly, and her actions were fierce and decisive.
A boot kicked the little girl down hard, looked back at her sickly smile, pushed Maximilian down, pressed him firmly with his body, and activated the energy shield at the same time, Lynch then threw himself on her back.

"boom!"

There was a violent explosion, and fireballs sprang up from the crowd,
Dozens of reporters and bodyguards were knocked down by the shock wave, engulfed in scorching flames...
