Miss Wang Weina, my cousin can't do it either!

Loken Williams introduced it in a business-like manner, but the brigadier general did not show any interest, he interrupted:

"I'm here looking for you."

"I personally don't accept walk-in appointments."

"You know who I am."

"It's because you are a general that I will show up in person to educate you about the rules of our company. I don't want you to scare my secretary. She is a timid person."

Loken Williams replied arrogantly.

This arrogance does not come from any backing, but from the bottom of his heart.It is the pride of being a genius scientist and an outstanding entrepreneur.

The brigadier general in front of him raised his eyebrows in surprise, and finally stopped his fingers tapping on the tabletop. He showed an appreciative smile and said:

"Sure enough, it's Loken Williams. In Colombia, you are the only one who dares to speak to the army like that. What gave you the confidence? Columbia's laws? Or the group of people who made the laws?"

Loken Williams shook his head:

"The law has very little constraints on me. After all, I have seen and done many things that are not allowed by the law, or even within the scope of the law. I have no reliance, just a normal, well-behaved Colombian. In my capacity, I will state my rules to you."

This is of course a lie. Although Loken Williams is proud of his talents, he is not so arrogant that even the military doesn't look down on him.He was just vaguely reminding the officer in front of him that he was relying on the unspoken rules of the entire Colombia. Among them, he was a person who was needed and obeyed the rules, and advised the officer not to mess around.

Of course the Brigadier General understood the meaning, and he chuckled: "Rules? Interesting, it seems that Mr. Williams' time is very precious, so I'll just say it straight." He crossed his hands and said in a serious tone, " Mr. Williams, the military wants detailed information about the [Mass-produced Strategic Warlock] in your hands, as well as your experimental results."

Loken Williams was taken aback for a moment, and said in doubt:

"This is....."

"The military means." The Brigadier General answered quickly.

"The Chianti MP and the Federal Assembly?"

The brigadier general curled his lips in disdain: "They are a group of colorful people, busy with this and that all day long, not all small things can be taken care of."

In other words, this is the arbitrary action of the military?

Loken Williams immediately understood the meaning of the brigadier general in front of him.But immediately, greater doubts enveloped him, what does the military want to do?The Loken Water Tank Laboratory is a dog of the Federal Parliament and the government. It has nothing to do with the military. The experiments related to [Link Awareness], [Expand Perception Range], [Mass Production of War Warlocks], etc. are all federal Parliament's mandate.Although it seems that these research projects have a lot to do with the military, the difference behind the scenes directly determines whether it is a "secret weapon for the military to suppress the parliament" or a "bargaining chip for the parliament to negotiate with the military".

But now, the military wants to bypass the parliament, refuse to negotiate, and directly ask for relevant information from itself. The military's move is not small.

But this has nothing to do with myself.

"I reject."

Loken Williams answered quickly, decisively, and resolutely.As a qualified dog, he must recognize his master.Temporary job-hopping is a big taboo, no one likes a thug who will betray.

"Not thinking about it?"

The Brigadier General was not in a hurry and asked again.

Loken Williams shook his head.There is no need to consider this matter. If he does not want the Loken water tank to close down tomorrow, and his body is hung on the street lamp in the street at the entrance, he absolutely cannot agree to this proposal.

He is just a company boss, the military, and the political circles, neither of which he can afford.Now that you have decided to hug one thigh tightly, you must not let go, otherwise you will definitely die without a place to die!

The brigadier general shrugged, not annoyed, as if he knew the ending a long time ago, nodded, picked up the briefcase on the side, and stood up:

"Excuse me then, Dr. Williams. Also, I have military jammers in my purse, and your voice recorder and internet link won't record anything. Finally, I wish you good health and hope you won't regret it later this decision."

Loken Williams didn't answer, stood up, and watched the tall and straight figure of the brigadier general disappear at the end of the corridor outside the reception room.

Walking out of the Loken water tank, the Brigadier General beckoned and called the entourage standing in the newsstand outside the door, who was holding a copy of the Columbia "Illustrated Book" weekly magazine, and said:

"As expected, Loken Williams refused to cooperate."

"Then what to do next, General?"

"How to do it? Do you still need me to teach you? Suppress Rhine Life."

Brigadier General said,

"Taking advantage of this science and technology expo to completely defeat Rhine-Life...Yes, I'm talking about Rhine-Life. The Loken water tank has been hanging out with those insects in the political circle for too long, and the smell is inseparable Now, instead of catching this stubborn dog by force, it is better to get a new one directly."

"If nothing else happens, the politicians will start to suppress Rhine Life during this science and technology fair. Those insects like balance most, but we don't talk about balance, we like to crush. Let our people get ready, When the political circles are suppressing Rhine Life, don’t they try to hurt Rhine Life? Then let’s push them and make Rhine Life hurt. It’s best to break their spine directly. The balance will be completely break in!"

"At that time, send another smart person to find a reason to expose this matter in the political circle. Betrayed by the Federal Parliament and broken back, when Rhine Life is unwilling to stand up again, we will become their savior."

The brigadier general turned around, looked up at the tall buildings of the Loken water tank laboratory, and smiled contemptuously.

"The experiment of [Mass-produced Warrior] is not the only one that can be done here. Isn't Rhine Life a good place?"

Chapter 24 Impeachment

Columbia, Silicon Valley, Rheinland headquarters.

When the building of the headquarters of Wayne and Kelsey was in a busy state, the researchers took off their white coats one after another and put on a handsome formal suit or dress to prepare for the second day of tomorrow's science and technology expo. The live broadcast is making final preparations.

The governor, Monica, and Seliya were also among them, and Wayne spotted them at a glance. The reason is very simple. Among so many people, they are the only ones who haven't changed their clothes and are still dressed as researchers. .

The general manager is wearing an ol's suit and hip skirt. Serena is wearing a rechargeable suit with a large "X" pattern on it, but she has a white coat on it, and Monica is similar. , obviously in good shape, but wearing a loose white coat is a bit lacklustre.

This outfit is outrageous for this occasion, but it's normal when it's Serena.

Wayne thought for a while, and asked Kelsey to find out where Director Henry was, while he went up to the three of them to say hello.

He had a few conversations with the governor, and he only met Monica once when he came to Rhine Life, and the only one he was really familiar with was Sereya.He was just curious, where did Seliya go that afternoon?

"Seriya, Miss Chief Administration, and this one, Ms. Minister of Technology, good morning."

Wayne greeted her, and Serena turned around upon hearing this, with a somewhat wary expression on her face, but it quickly dissipated.

The matter has something to do with Wayne, and this is just her own guess. At least from the existing evidence, there is nothing wrong with Wayne.Doubting someone for no reason, and maintaining prejudice and indifference towards him, is an immoral behavior, and Saria will not do it.

She nodded politely, stretched out her hand and shook Wayne,

"Hello, Mr. Shareholder."

"Hello, Mr. Shareholder, what can we do for you?"

The lady in charge also shook hands and took over the topic.In this temporary small group of three, she had the highest position, the widest jurisdiction, and the richest experience, so it was only natural that she asked questions.

Wayne shrugged:

"It's nothing, I'm just curious about how you all dress differently. I remember that Mr. Henry should have announced in the company's LINE group that there will be a rehearsal today and all employees are required to wear formal attire."

Miss Zongju nodded knowingly, showing a helpless smile:

"We belong to a special situation, and we have explained it to Director Henry and obtained an understanding."

Their current situation is indeed special. In fact, during the three days when Wayne was resting at home, none of the governor, Sereya, and Monica left the headquarters of Rhine Life.

That night, after repeated experiments, they finally confirmed that the enemy's target had been locked on the three of them.No matter which one of them walks out of the "shelter" of the headquarters, it will be attacked by the enemy.Perhaps the enemy thought they had a good relationship with Serena, so they wanted to capture them both to threaten Serena?

This is really bad luck for the governor. It is true that Monica and Serena have a good relationship.Although with Saria's personality, it is true that she might accept threats in order to rescue the governor.

The three of them had no choice but to go to the staff dormitory through the glass corridor linking the four buildings that night and then rested for the night. The executive director Henry arrived at the company the next day before finally reporting the matter.

But even so, they did not dare to leave Rhine Life alone.

Although Director Henry has already learned about this matter and started an investigation, but the investigation will take time, and whether the investigation can produce any results is another matter.After all, the two forces that Seliya offended were the Loken Water Tank, which was comparable to Rhine-Life, and the Federation Councilor, who was obviously a head older than Rhine-Life.When they go out alone, it is difficult to guarantee that the other party will not take the risk and pursue them.

At that time, the crisis that cannot be dealt with by one person alone, without support, even Seliya, who has the highest force value, will be even more difficult for the two who claim to be just a "humble civil servant" and "weak data specialist" up.

Therefore, the last three chose the safest way, informed Director Henry of this speculation, and were allowed to stay in Rhine Life's building for the rest of the time.

After thinking about it, the governor suddenly reacted and told him:

"If Mr. Shareholder came to find Director Henry, he is not here now, and he may not come back until tonight."

Wayne was taken aback for a moment. He really came to find Director Henry to discuss investment and shareholding issues. The director of the company is not here?

"Where did he go?"

The governor replied: "Washington State, the capital of Columbia, the House of Representatives."

.........

The capital of Columbia, Washington State, also known as Washington Special Administrative Region.

Like Silicon Valley, which is a paradise for scientific researchers, it is a paradise for bureaucrats. Almost all the resources consumed by this mobile city are supplied by several surrounding mobile cities that regularly connect and meet waterways. Inside, it is a It is a giant consortium composed of [politicians], [members], [lawyers], and various legal, political, and military universities.

And its core city is the joint meeting of Colombian states known as the "National Meeting", that is, the place where the federal meeting is held, the Bundestag.

At this moment, Henry, the executive director of Rhine Life, is completing a report to the Federal Parliament about the venue, program, and content of the science and technology expo.Walk down the tall hundred-step staircase.

In the report meeting held just now, he also publicly announced another matter-the impeachment of the Silicon Valley State Representative: Representative Chianti Antreas.It is accused of ignoring the law, illegally collecting evidence, chasing, besieging, and even imprisoning Rhine Life's legal employees in order to achieve its purpose of illegal profit.

This impeachment caused an uproar in the parliament. The large amount of evidence presented by Henry (companies such as Rheinland Life has always kept the handle left by cooperating with government officials, but in general, showing it means that the fish will die and the net will be broken, and the other party will be ushered in. Counterattack is not a good thing for both parties), and with the help of the Chianti opposition, which is jealous of monopolizing the huge interests of the Silicon Valley state, the Chianti congressmen who did not attend were inexplicably detained in Silicon Valley. The National Guard is on its way to hunt him down.

This incident is bound to anger the Chianti MP, but Henry doesn't care anymore.If he is offended, he will be offended. He cannot allow the Chianti MP to do such shameless things to his employees.Rheinland Life is the organizer of the science and technology expo, and there will be a large number of people in the political circle who want to support themselves for their own interests. Why should they be afraid of a Chianti congressman?

From this point of view, the matter is basically settled, and the next step is to take the aircraft back to Silicon Valley, and then have a good night's sleep to prepare for tomorrow's technology expo.

But did things really go so smoothly?

Chapter 25 My heart is full of calculations

Columbia, Silicon Valley, the main pavilion of the Technology Expo.10 minutes before the opening of the fair.

No matter how the history books of later generations record this day, Wayne is sure that they will mark it in the first sentence—today is a sunny day.The weather in Colombia is always good and bad, especially Silicon Valley. Although it is in an area with few natural disasters, it is downstream of the wind direction. The dust generated by natural disasters above the wilderness will always pass through the city with strong winds, so Most of the time in Silicon Valley is cloudy, and there are few sunny days like today.

Everyone in Rhine Life thinks today is a good day, and even the most disrespectful scientists will pray at this moment, and attribute today's good weather to God's blessings to Rhine Life and this expo.

Ten minutes before the opening ceremony, Wayne finally met Director Henry, who was belatedly arriving.He is a little strange. Just looking at his character, Director Henry should be the same as Serena, who values ​​details, time, and rules. He came so late. If he hadn't told Rhine Life in advance, Wayne would have been worried. Did something happen to him on the way?

But in fact, something went wrong on Henry's return journey.

He is a person who cares about every detail, especially in terms of safety, and has a deep understanding of some shady methods in the gutter.If Saria is the internal insurance valve of Rhine Life, then Director Henry is the external barrier of Rhine Life.

Before boarding the plane, he deliberately asked the entourage to check whether there are bugs, cameras and other things on the plane, especially those inconspicuous crystal balls and glass beads. He has suffered from this before. , I still remember that this thing might be a monitor.

But those are things that are not known to outsiders, and he has never talked about them to others so far.

I didn't know if I didn't check it, but I was shocked when I checked it. No bugs, monitors and the like were found, but a hidden compartment filled with high-concentration Originium explosives was found under the cabin floor of the aircraft.The dark compartment is covered by the carpet of the cabin, no matter whether you step on it or look at it normally, there will be no abnormality at all. If it wasn't for Director Henry's stubborn request to conduct metal detection here, the entourage would not be able to find the existence of the bomb at all.

And once this high-concentration Originium bomb explodes during the flight, none of the dozen or so people on the aircraft will be spared.If you don’t get killed by the bomb, you will be thrown out of the cabin by the airflow drawn in from the torn cabin and fall to your death. Even if you are the child of destiny, if you are not killed by the bomb or fell to death, you will also explode due to inhaling a high-concentration origin stone bomb The huge amount of origin stone dust produced later was infected with ore disease, and it deteriorated rapidly.Maybe you have already crystallized before you landed.

No one can survive the explosion, falling, and ultra-high concentration of Originium radiation environment. This is a triple insurance killer move. The person who planted the bomb obviously did not intend to let Director Henry survive at all.

As for the person who planted the bomb, Director Henry felt that he had no doubts, and it must be the subordinate of the Chianti representative.After all, now, the only person who has direct conflict with him is the perverse congressman.

It's a pity that Henry was superior and did not let this conspiracy succeed.

The only thing he can't understand now is that, from leaving the airport to returning to the cabin, only the ground crew in Washington State have conducted routine safety checks on the aircraft. Why not only did they not detect potential safety hazards, but there was an extra bomb on the aircraft? ?

Could it be that those two people were bribed by the Chianti representative?

This is unreasonable, if he has this ability, why not just buy off the ground staff at Silicon Valley International Airport, and detonate a bomb to kill him on the way to Washington State. Silicon Valley is his sphere of influence, and it is easier than buying the capital. I don't know how much lower the ground staff is, and it is obviously more cost-effective to prevent his own impeachment.

Unable to understand, Henry could only temporarily write a report letter at the airport, and asked his subordinates to return to the Bundestag and hand it over to several members of the anti-Chianti faction. Please use this to build momentum and completely defeat Chianti.And I stayed at the airport, waiting for the aircraft to conduct a thorough and complete inspection, and then take off after confirming that it is safe and correct.

Time was thus delayed.He didn't return to Silicon Valley until half an hour ago, and then hurried to the expo site.

The members of the opposition are naturally happy to see the "knife" sent.

Director Henry probably would never have imagined in his life that the bombs on the aircraft were ordered to be planted by the members of the Federal Parliament who were still impressed by his generous speech just now.Who else has the power to influence the Colombian oligarchy, Federal Aviation Administration Colombia?Some of them are the spokesmen of Federal Airlines. Wouldn't it be easy to instruct the ground crew to plant a bomb?

As for the Chianti representative, he was just an abandoned son, unknowingly carrying the blame, seeking greater benefits for the entire parliament and the oligarchs behind them.

Things were developing as planned by the federal parliament. To overthrow, or abandon the Chianti councilor, and to attack Rhine's life are two things that do not conflict with each other at all.Abandoning the Chianti congressman is to gain more benefits, and attacking Rhine Life is also to gain more benefits, and let them fight each other, so that the political circles can take advantage of it. This is their favorite and best balance method .

Although it is a pity now, Director Henry, who is unanimously considered by the political circles to be the "most capable but most threatening upper echelon" of Rhine Life, did not die in an "accidental" flight accident, which hit Rhine Life and turned them into Progress on an obedient tool has slowed down a bit.But it doesn't matter, after that, he will fight more fiercely with the Chianti congressman, and no matter how he counts, the political circle will benefit.What's more, there are many ways to get rid of a person. If you fail this time, you can wait for the next time. The MPs are not in a hurry.

And Wayne and Henry, who didn't know about these things, were on the scene at the moment, waiting to witness the historic moment of Rhine's life.

In 10 minutes, the Columbia Science and Technology Fair, the science festival of all Terra, will open in this newly completed prototype pavilion!At that time, 160 technology companies from Silicon Valley and more than [-] scientific research companies and organizations from various countries in Thailand will participate and showcase the latest and best research results of the companies in the past four years.

It's going to be a grand ceremony.And in this grand ceremony, Rhine Life will become the protagonist with the help of the epoch-making ore disease suppressing drug - saver (saver)!

Both Henry and Wayne believed so.

Chapter 26 Hello, Miss Kelsey

"Colombia Science and Technology Fair, a miracle festival held every four years."

"They are not magicians, but they can create things that magic can't do."

"Focus on the greatest scientific research event in Terra, and witness the development of science and technology in Terra, all in Columbia, Silicon Valley, and the Ring World Expo Center!"

Accompanied by such overwhelming, real, or navy public opinion propaganda swept the whole land, from the storm village next to the Sami snowfield, to the tropical rainforest in the extreme south of Sargon, from the elderly in their eighties, down to the enlightenment schoolchildren, Columbia Everyone knows the name of the science and technology fair, and everyone knows it.

Obviously, the lords of the Federal Parliament have also spent a lot of money on the science and technology expo. Although they have made a decision to balance the strength of the Rhine Life and the Loken water tank, this does not mean that they have to sacrifice a large-scale event that occurs every four years. , They want to earn money in the future, and they also want to earn money now.
