Wildfires were burning beside the town, and the carnival of the crowd continued, and the air was filled with the eerie smell of alcohol and mustard flowers. On the east side of the temporary camp, Tai Zhiyuan and his assistants were surrounded by more than a dozen reporters from major federal media. The first question he faced was extremely direct.
"Mr. Senator, what is your purpose?"
Tai Zhiyuan's expression was calm and his answer was more direct.
"My purpose is simple, to tell the entire Commonwealth that the time has come for President Pabble and his government to be abandoned."
"But don't forget that the president and the government are elected by the voters."
"It is through this silent march that we want to tell voters who have voted in elections that you are wrong, and that we will have to wait two and a half years to correct this terrible mistake?"
"There is a lack of persuasive evidence regarding your allegations against Mr. President and relevant government departments."
"Gathering and confirming evidence should be the purview of the Department of Justice or the Prosecutor's Office."
The middle-aged reporter's reaction became violent, protesting loudly: "To make a complaint without evidence is tantamount to a false accusation."
On Tai Zhiyuan's pale and thin cheeks, two blushes suddenly appeared, not because of excitement, not because of anger, but because of strong sarcasm, he quietly looked at the reporter, smiled and said after a while: "You are from the Post. Reporter, haven't you received the electronic documents sent by my office? I don't believe you haven't read it, a summary of the doubtful points about the background investigation of the ancient bell and related cases. In this case, why do you dare to use the word slander... frame me?"
Before the reporter from the Post could respond, he looked blankly at the reporters around him, raised his right hand to stop the other's question, and said in a deep voice, "If you want evidence, go back to your newspaper or the editor-in-chief's office. , I submitted this to the Department of Justice and you two weeks ago. I'm wondering why I can't see that in any newspaper or any TV screen?"
"I very much welcome President Pabble's accusation against me on this charge. The false accusation is a private prosecution case. As a lawyer, he should know that he cannot arrange for a direct arrest of me by officials of the Ministry of Justice, then I will have the opportunity to have a face-to-face debate with Mr. President in court. , I just hope he doesn't retreat."
The temporary press conference next to the temporary camp fell into a tense or panic-stricken silence. The reporters looked at the youngest regional councillor in the history of the federation. They didn't know what to say for a while. It was the same Post reporter who started asking questions.
"According to rumors, there are seven families who have been hiding in the dark and secretly ruling the Federation, which is the so-called seven families. Mr. Tai, you are the only heir to the Tai family, and Tai is the surname of the former dynasty... "
Tai Zhiyuan looked at the reporter, raised his index finger and said, "Is this news? Or do you think this is the focus of the report? The story of tens of thousands of years, the former dynasty in the old paper, and the federation we care about today. What does it matter?"
"But as far as I know, when you were growing up, many people called you the prince."
The Post reporter refuted without showing weakness, with a hint of malicious speculation.
"I can't stop what other people call me, and at the same time, the kind of person I am will not change in any way because of a name."
Tai Zhiyuan remained calm, spread out his hands and said to the reporters, "If you like, you can also call me that."
At this moment, dozens of drunken young men and women walked by outside the camp. They were carrying wine bottles, shuffling their steps, shaking their arms excitedly and exaggeratingly screaming towards the temporary press conference. He shouted: "Prince! We support you!"
After the eerie screams, whistles, and even swear words, there was a brief eerie silence at the press conference. The Post reporter frowned deeply, raised his face slightly, looked at Tai Zhiyuan and continued to ask: "If you want to become the president of the Federation, you are still seeking benefits for your family."
"Becoming the youngest president in federal history? Why not?"
Tai Zhiyuan frowned sharply, looked at him sternly, and said, "If I can do better than Pabble, why can't I be the president? As for interests, what kind of interests are interests, and they can be achieved by participating in politics. More financial gain for the family? If you think so, I can repeat what I said in that press conference two weeks ago."
He looked around at the journalists and staff around him, leaned forward slightly, his pale face was full of undeniable determination, and said: "As long as President Pabble gives up on revising the electoral bill, re-election efforts, resigns and resigns, accepts many parties. The investigation team's investigation of the relevant allegations, I, Tai Zhiyuan, will give up the inheritance rights of the Crystal Mine Consortium and the Shushu Foundation!"
What is the Commonwealth's most valuable resource? It is a crystal mine. What is the most important resource of the Commonwealth? It is a crystal mine. In the human society in the great era of the universe, it is impossible for a day without crystal ore. In a sense, crystal ore is a more indispensable social foundation than food.
For the sake of the crystal mine, the Federation in the early years did not hesitate to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to go to the border star area, bombed a companion moon, destroyed a fleet, buried tens of thousands of lives, and finally successfully established a crystal mine base in Donglin. And today's Federation is even more for the crystal mines, not hesitate to go to war with the powerful empire, but also to go deep into the Zuotian star field to master the few inconspicuous small ore stars of the X galaxy.
This shows the importance of crystal ore.
Tens of thousands of years ago, the Tai dynasty abdicated peacefully, and the republic began. According to the agreement of that year, Mochou Houshan has always owned all the derivative rights such as mining and refining of all crystal ore resources in the federation. Relying on this privilege, this former royal family, who was a dick, quietly and silently accumulated more terrorist assets than the Tie Suanli family, and has always been in a detached leadership position among the seven families. It can be on an equal footing with the federal government. lifeblood.
Until the strong rise of the Pabul government, the government began to try to take back this privilege, but due to the control of the Tai family for tens of thousands of years, the government did not dare to go too far. Destroyed.
No one would have thought that at the press conference two weeks ago, Mochou Houshan's sole heir, Tai Zhiyuan, announced to the entire universe that he would dig the lifeline of this federation, the most solid foundation for the existence of the family, with his own hands. Come out and return your hands to the Commonwealth!
Regardless of the strength and depth of the impact, Tai Zhiyuan's shocking decision is not comparable to ordinary donations. This donation will directly lead to a fundamental change in the political structure in the shadow of the Federation, and it may also be on his neck. With a black noose tied!
This is the kind of generosity that even the Lord of the Zuotian Star Territory and the Emperor of the Empire were shocked by. Such a kind of handwriting has never been seen in history books, or even in fantasy dramas.
The federal government, the imperial royal family, can do it? Who can imagine
