Pan Galactic Age

Chapter 485 The Bird in the Cage

Then he said sharply, "Get out."

The secretary quickly got up and backed out.

Li Yuanhao snorted, and readjusted his sitting posture on the sofa, but his face showed a bit of solemnity.

Almost the moment the secretary left the room, a hidden door in the office opened, and a middle-aged man with an ordinary face and a gray casual suit came out.

Li Yuanhao stood up immediately: "Mr. Duan, why did you come out?"

His attitude was extremely respectful, as if he, the president of the Chenyang Republic, was just his subordinate.

The man called Mr. Duan nodded slightly: "Well, I heard you guys talking about Chen Wudong, so I'll come out and talk to you about something."

"Please speak." Li Yuanhao asked Mr. Duan to sit down, but he himself stood aside and listened carefully.

"Our Duan family sent another confidential letter yesterday, urging me to speed up the progress here..." Mr. Duan paused slightly, and looked at Li Yuanhao, "You understand what I mean!"

"Yes, I understand!" Li Yuanhao quickly replied, "However, now that the political and economic power is in my hands, it is enough for your plan! There is no need to put the military..."

"Are you questioning our Duan family's decision?" Mr. Duan scolded unceremoniously with sharp eyes.

Li Yuanhao bowed even lower: "Don't dare..."

"Hmph! The relationship between you and Chen Wudong, you'd better handle it properly. You can't take responsibility for missing my Duan family's important affairs!" Mr. Duan said in a tone of incomparable eyes, "However, we need a stable Chenyang Republic. , Therefore, I will give you another half a month, and you must take control of the military power!"

A trace of helplessness and helplessness flashed across Li Yuanhao's lowered head eyes: "Half a month..."

"Huh? What? Is there a problem?" Mr. Duan was already very upset. The family originally gave him half a year to control the Chenyang Republic, but now it has been more than a month, and the expected goal has not been achieved. How can you not be angry when you are severely criticized?

"Okay! I will give you an explanation within half a month." Li Yuanhao gritted his teeth and agreed.

Only then did Mr. Duan nod in satisfaction, stood up, walked to Li Yuanhao's side, and patted his body: "As long as you cooperate with our Duan family and do the essential work well, no one will be able to move your position as president." of."

"Thank you, Mr. Duan." Li Yuanhao bowed slightly.

Mr. Duan laughed twice, then walked towards the secret door, stopped at the door, turned his back to Li Yuanhao and said, "Stop trying to contact Long Zhu secretly, their Long family is entangled by my Duan family in China. You are already too busy to take care of yourself, and the small forces on your side can't get into their eyes, and they won't help you any more."

Li Yuanhao trembled when he heard this.

Mr. Duan didn't bother to listen to his excuse, so he went straight in, and the secret door slowly closed.

Only Li Yuanhao stood there alone with a complicated expression.

Thinking that their Chenyang Republic was only established for more than 80 years, he, Chen Wudong and other veterans were all heroes who grew up from the Chenyang Civil War.

This country was created by them alone. After three large-scale Patriotic Wars, 17 local counter-insurgency and small-scale wars, the political situation was stabilized in the past 20 years.

The economy is booming, the society is harmonious, and the country is thriving.

Especially a year ago, they defeated the last Seven Star Thief Alliance in the Chaotic Star Field that could threaten the stability of their country. Although the "Chutian Mercenary Legion" in the Gangme Starfield still rubs against them at the border from time to time, the offensive is not as good as before.

This was originally an excellent opportunity for the development of their Chenyang Republic, but half a year ago, Mr. Long Zhu, who had been giving them great help, suddenly left and returned to his hometown, and then a person from "there" Duan's family came, that is, Mr. Duan After showing the family seal of the Duan family, he then stated that the Duan family wanted to secretly control the Chenyang Republic.

Of course, Li Yuanhao couldn't agree, so he flatly refused. Mr. Duan didn't say much, and turned his head and left.

Unexpectedly, the next day, the domestic stock market collectively plunged, all kinds of foreign capital were rumored to flee, and foreign trade was inexplicably blocked. Many trading partners declared that they would suspend trade with the Central Republic. The collapse was imminent, and the economy shrank by nearly a fifth in almost a day.

Only then did Li Yuanhao understand the Duan family's all-powerful means of turning their hands into clouds and covering their hands into rain.

Afterwards, Mr. Duan, who had already left, was invited back overnight, saying that he would cooperate with the Duan family's affairs. On the second day, the economy returned to normal operation, as if yesterday's doomsday economic collapse was just a dream.

Li Yuanhao also euphemistically stated in front of Mr. Duan that the Chenyang Republic also has the assistance of the Long family, but Mr. Duan simply dismissed it: "Since our Duan family has come, there is absolutely no possibility of their Long family coming back!"

For the past six months, he has been trying to contact Mr. Long Zhu, but he did not get any reply. He wanted to discuss this matter with his old partner Chen Wudong, but he was warned by Mr. Duan.

In the past six months, he had to act against Mr. Duan's behind-the-scenes instigation, and almost destroyed the democratic system of the Chenyang Republic. In this way, on the surface, Li Yuanhao became a highly centralized president, but in the eyes of the people around him, he also became a complete dictator.

Moreover, Mr. Duan is still secretly supporting his grandson. It seems that he wants to push the young Li Jie to the top of the military. Delusional?Even if Mr. Duan can really make him No. 1 in the military, just because he is a boy, is he still at the mercy of others?

It's just that he can't take care of himself, seeing these things, what can he do?
Who knows the pain in his heart?

He also hinted at Chen Wudong several times, but unfortunately, his old partner was so overwhelmed by his perverse behavior that he didn't understand what he meant at all!
Li Yuanhao sighed, walked to the window, looked at the steel-lined city in the distance, and the worry in his eyes became more and more intense.

This room is full of surveillance cameras. He, the prestige and powerful president, is nothing more than a bird in a cage that cannot be free.

Is this country really going to be built and destroyed by one's own hands?

However, among the powers of these eighteen star fields, which one is not controlled by others?

They are all just pawns in the game of big and powerful countries outside!
To strengthen the country and enrich the people is nothing more than making wedding dresses for others and increasing the bargaining chips for others!
Li Yuanhao was mentally and mentally exhausted for a while, and he had an illusory and ridiculous feeling about the dreams and goals he had fought for most of his life.

While he was thinking, the communication was turned on, and the Minister of the Interior was asking for an interview outside the door. Li Yuanhao regained his majesty, clicked on the light screen, and opened the door.

PS: This Duan family has laid a foreshadowing in the previous article, I don’t know if you have forgotten it.
