All human beings have selfish desires, but a person is limited by his physical body, and his energy is limited after all, and no matter who he is, he will die in a hundred years, so what if there is an omnipotent, omniscient, and immortal "human being"?
All the officers present were shocked. They exchanged ideas in whispers. Only Adrian had thought about it for a long time in advance. Instead of joining the discussion, he asked the person on his right: "What do you want?"
Everyone paused the discussion and looked at them.
Zhong Yan Shi Shiran sat down without changing his face and said: "I didn't understand what you were asking."
"You understand." Adrian said sharply, "You said you came all the way here just to deliver a warning? It's okay to deceive them, but not me. If we carry out follow-up cooperation, you what do you want?"
Zhong Yan exhaled lightly, and said slowly: "Several members headed by Representative Peisen think that there is something wrong with the current membership structure of the Supreme Council. They think that the structure of the 'round table' with twelve members sitting equally should be changed to 'pyramid. ’, this draft is already being drafted, and if they act quickly, it will be put on the agenda next year, possibly even before the official implementation of the ‘Order of Honor’.”
Everyone has heard him explain what the "Order of Honor" is just now. In order to ensure the stability of the Federation and further improve social efficiency, the penalty system will be gradually abolished and replaced by methods such as deprivation of property and power. In other words, if you can refuse to accept a suggestion now that you only need to pay a sum of money, the punishment you will face in the future is likely to be a prison sentence.
Take pride in following the AI's advice, known as an order of honor.
"Even next year, I will only be 28 years old. This age is too young in the Supreme Council. Besides, I have just been a non-voting member. Once the power structure of the Supreme Council changes, I must bear the brunt of being demoted. the group of people."
It is rumored that this legendary member of the council boarded this position at an astonishing age, and it is inseparable from the support of the hundred-year-old family, the Art family. If someone knows some inside information, he will also know that the patriarch of the Art family, Staben When Arter was still in power, he had constant conflicts with Bud Payson, who was also a non-voting member. The two formed cliques in the Supreme Council and the upper-class social circle of Capital Star, and fought against each other. Two human beings who hold supreme power.
Although Starben has abdicated, his influence is still there, as evidenced by the fact that he was able to support Zhong Yan to that seat after he abdicated. It's a pity that no matter how influential a person who has abdicated is, he will eventually be no match for the one who is still in power. Now that his old enemy, Bud, who is still in power, wants to reform, he will definitely target Zhong Yan first, so it is really difficult to keep Zhong Yan's position. Living.
Zhong Yan only said that he was the first to bear the brunt because he was young, but these undercurrents surged, and the high-level military officers present knew it well, but the fact that the person behind Zhong Yan was Adrian's grandfather was too embarrassing, and everyone knew it She accepted the reason of "too young" without saying a word.
"So your purpose is to stop them and keep your seat?" one officer asked.
Zhong Yan nodded slightly, acquiescing to this statement.
Adrian didn't continue to ask, and seemed to accept this reason, and said to Zhong Yan: "You don't have to listen to the rest."
He stood up and walked over to open the door of the meeting room, and told the two guards at the door: "Take him to my car."
Zhong Yan followed him to the door, covered the eyes of the room behind with his body, and carefully stretched out his hand from the front of the cloak to pull Adrian's clothes.
This is a habitual action that they were all familiar with many years ago. Neither Adrian nor Zhong Yan likes to talk about private matters in front of others. Sometimes when there is something to say in public, Adrian can just bend slightly and lower his head to whisper in Zhong Yan's ear, but Zhong Yan can't reach it. Adrian, so every time Zhong Yan wanted to say something, he tore off Adrian's clothes first, waited for him to bend down slightly, and then whispered in his ear.
This time, Adrian responded to this action as usual, but instead of listening to Zhong Yan, he stuck to Zhong Yan's ear and said softly and coldly: "Listen well, if you dare to pull my clothes again, I will dispose of you." took your hand."
Zhong Yan immediately retracted his hand into his coat, and said softly, "I just want to ask if your car door is locked."
"The car door is not locked, but the driving system is locked, and there are guards outside the gate, so be safe and don't think about driving away."
"I didn't." Zhong Yan defended himself in vain. Adrian didn't listen, and beckoned to the guards to take them away.
Zhong Yan originally thought that after he brought such important information, Adrian would treat him with a gentle face, but he didn't expect that the other party had no intention of acknowledging him and was still so fierce to him.
He lowered his eyes to hide his disappointed expression, and followed the guards away.
"Commander..."
Adrian stretched out a hand and stopped an officer from speaking, "I know what you are going to say. The personality of the artificial intelligence has undergone some changes, and it is seeking greater control, so we should also abandon the route of seeking stable development. , go all out to speed up the plan, eh?"
He said what the other party wanted to say, and the officer heard some disapproval in his tone, and said embarrassingly: "Yes... yes. The development plan we set before is based on the constant foundation of artificial intelligence But no one thought he would change."
Another officer echoed: "That's right. Now that Butterfly has begun to centralize power autonomously, and there are human beings in high positions who are loyal to him. If they are allowed to implement the series of new policies, then his control over the Federation will reach a new level." If we continue to follow the steps, we will be constrained and fall into a passive position.”
"Fortunately, we have learned this information, and it is not too late to start deploying now."
Adrian listened silently to the officers at the table discussing specific measures enthusiastically. Finn asked, "Commander, do you still doubt the authenticity of this information? It's hard to fake."
None of the other officers spoke. Although all the high-level positions in the Na'vi military region are now Adrian's direct descendants, the adjutant is a person who followed Adrian when he was a student, and the relationship is closer after all. Most of the time, only the adjutant dared to say a few words when he was a nonvoting member.
"I know, it's just..."
Adrian stopped, and after a while, he raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, and said: "What you said makes sense, but don't be in a hurry for a day or two. For such a big matter, wait until the intelligence department has confirmed it before starting to detail it." Deployment. Although the information is true, the source of the information is too unreliable. In any case, we will wait for our people to investigate the results in person. Dismiss the meeting, and the adjutant will stay for a while."
After the officers dispersed, Fein frowned and said, "What's wrong with you? It's not like you to be so cautious."
"How long does it take for the information to be confirmed?" Adrian asked.
"It was just arranged at noon. The news about the capital star will take a few days. I am afraid that our nail position on the capital star is not high enough. Maybe we need to contact the 'specimen' person. This... needs to be done." It is estimated that it will take several days to get the letter."
Adrian pondered for a while, then slowly said: "Confess to the Intelligence Department, and confirm one more thing... Check whether Zhong Yan and Bud Payson have contact, no matter what form of contact."
Fein was startled, and quickly asked, "What do you mean? Do you suspect this is a game?"
"His reasons don't convince me." Adrian said, "It took so much effort to surrender to the enemy just to keep the seat? I don't believe that he has no other way to keep the seat except this way, he After all, it has been operating in Capital Star for seven years."
"Uh...Actually, we all believe it." Fein analyzed, "Even if he uses his connections to find a way to keep his seat, his life will be difficult in the future. When the structure changes, Person must be above him , who gets involved with your grandfather, there is no way that Pei Sen will not target him, and he may be killed one day. It is better to break the boat and abandon your grandfather and join us. If you win, you will have half of his military medals No? You said just now that you want to investigate him and Payson... Do you suspect that he actually switched to Payson's side? That doesn't make sense at all. Payson's side put in so much effort to set up a situation to let us know that the demon moth has finally gone crazy? This is not a joke ."
"It makes sense." Adrian said, and then smiled wryly, "Why do you think I insisted on letting you conduct the talks before? I said he would interfere with my judgment, you believe it now."
Fein rolled his eyes and said, "I believe it. You used to think about his goodness without thinking, but now it has become another extreme, brainless conspiracy theory. When you live together, don't eat steak or something like that." I'm afraid that if he raises the knife, you will think he is going to assassinate you."
"It's not so exaggerated." Adrian also relaxed a little, and joked, "You look down on me too much. With his combat quality, I can't kill me with bare hands, even if I give him a gun."
Fein gave him a punch, and said with a smile: "It's over. I said you didn't come out. Look at the psychological shadow. You were deceived once. Now you feel that they are deceiving you. As for what?" ? Isn’t it just that the marriage proposal didn’t work out? What a big deal! My best man’s position is gone, do you see what I said?”
There was a "bang" outside the door, something hit the ground, the faces of the two people inside the door changed, Adrian rushed over and opened the door.
The small statue that was originally on the flower stand fell to the ground and rolled away. Zhong Yan stood there with a pale face, with a shocked and dazed expression. He supported the flower stand with one hand, and his body was on the verge of falling.
Before Adrian could speak, he asked anxiously: "What proposal? What best man? I only heard the last sentence. What are you talking about?"
