Behind the main entrance of the main building is a huge hall, but at this time, except for Xiao Ran and the few people who just walked in, it is completely empty and unpopular. There are oil paintings of various sizes hanging around the hall. The luxurious decorations added a bit of style to the hall. Although Xiao Ran couldn't understand what the oil paintings were like, he knew that these oil paintings must be valuable. ≧,
There was another long corridor in the direction facing Xiao Ran, and on both sides of the hall were circular stairs built along the wall. At this time, Martha's angry shouts could be heard from the direction going up the circular stairs. .
Cartiers seemed not to have heard his sister's shout. He extended his hand to Xiao Ran and said with a smile: "After traveling such a long way, I think it's better to rest first. I'll have someone call you during dinner." .”
"Okay." Xiao Ran smiled and nodded. The guests entered a clean and spotless guest room under the arrangement of Cardeas. Elf and Rukino Saki were also arranged there. They walked to both sides of Xiao Ran's guest room. Although the two-day journey was not very tiring, Xiao Ran still lay on the bed with his clothes fully clothed and took a rest.
After Cartiers arranged a resting place with Xiao Ran, he left and entered a bedroom in the deepest part of the main building. In this bedroom, there was an old man with white hair and a long beard. Lying on the soft bed in the center of the room, it was not until Cartiers entered the bedroom and made a noise that the old man opened his eyes.
The old man's eyes revealed a drowsy look. After seeing Cartiers, he slowly spoke in an old voice: "Cartiers, you are back. Have you made arrangements for the guests?"
"It's been arranged." Cardeas stood expressionlessly beside the old man's bed, looked up at the room that had completely transformed into a universe under the virtual projection work, and focused his gaze on the large projected image. Above the Earth and the Moon.
The old man was none other than Kardias's grandfather, Saiyam. At this time, Saiyam was already very old, but fortunately, the financial resources of the Bister family allowed him to maintain a relatively healthy body, without any illness or disaster. A lingering life.
Old man Saiyam glanced at Kardias who looked cold. He also set his sights on the earth: "Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes, I'm sure." Cardeas said calmly without looking back: "Their appearance gave me hope of success, and also allowed me to see the future that mankind deserves, so even if I suppress the entire Bis I am willing to use everything from the Te family as a bargaining chip."
"Even if I don't agree, I have no way out when I see those things. With what they have shown so far, their success is inevitable even without us joining." Cartiers turned his head and said Looking straight at Saiyam: "And my grandfather. They may also know that it is precisely because you brought the world into the current situation that the world began to split and become chaotic, and it is also we who control the situation again. The key to changing the world starts with Bist and ends with Bist. This is a chance for our Bist family to escape the abyss, and it is also a redemption."
"Redemption..." Saiyam laughed to himself. His eyes stared blankly ahead: "It would be great if this chance of redemption came earlier... Cartiers... Do you... forgive me?"
Cardeas slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath and turned around: "At this time, a world is about to end, and a new world is about to come. I am willing to put down the entire family and industry to gamble. , who else will not forgive you?"
"Really?" A relieved smile appeared on Saiyam's face. He nodded and closed his eyes: "From today on, the Bister family and Anaheim company will be put in charge of you. I will fall into a deep sleep until the day wakes me up."
"I know." Cardeas nodded. After opening his eyes, he took firm steps and walked directly out of the most important room in the family. The moment Cartiers walked out of the room and the door closed behind him, Saiyam's freezing process also started. As the old man who made a big mistake officially fell into a frozen sleep, he entrusted everything to Cartiers.
It wasn't until the evening that a servant knocked on Xiao Ran's door. After tidying up, Xiao Ran saw Rukino Saki and Al Elf waiting outside the door. The three of them were led by the servant. Entering a huge dining room, I also saw that I had not seen Cardeas here all afternoon.
Cardeas was sitting at the head seat of the long table. After seeing Xiao Ran, he stood up with a smile on his face and greeted Xiao Ran: "How was your rest?"
"It's okay." Xiao Ran nodded with a smile, looked at the dining room where Cartiers was the only one besides the servants, and asked, "Don't you need to come with me, my master?"
Cardeas showed an apologetic expression to Xiao Ran: "My grandfather, he is old and in poor health. He chose to freeze himself in order to see that day come, so I'm afraid you won't be able to see each other for the time being."
"Well, that's really a pity." Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "But I believe it won't be long before he can see that day."
After the meal, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. Although Cartiers was the only one, the Bister family was originally very small, so there was nothing rude about it. We really wanted to separate the woman named Martha from Cartiers. I'm afraid it's really impolite for Yasi's fat son to ask him to accompany him.
After the meal, Cartiers took Xiao Ran into a study room. Elf and Rukino Saki began to wander around. Cartiers took out the personnel information that he had compiled in the study room, bit by bit. They introduced the people in the information to Xiao Ran in detail. Each of these information also represented a stakeholder related to the Bist family. It was also the other main purpose of their return to Earth this time, to convince these people. Interested parties cooperate and those who refuse to cooperate are eliminated.
At the same time, everything must be arranged for Char's future actions. After Char's affairs are completed and those available people within Zeon are contacted, Char will choose the right opportunity to return to Earth and announce himself to the world. He told the world the fact that the Zabi family assassinated his father, and established a new Zeon to fight against the old Zeon led by the Zabi family.
Before doing it again, Xiao Ran and Cartiers must eliminate all unstable factors within the Earth Federation for Char and ensure that New Zeon can receive support from the Earth Federation. We must also ensure that New Zeon's independent leadership cannot just be a pawn for the Earth Federation to deal with Zeon, but a truly independent force that can talk to the Earth Federation on an equal footing.
If you want to do this, you must get the support of many important people within the Earth Federation. Then meet with interested parties, eliminate those who are unwilling to cooperate, and win over those who are willing to cooperate in the Earth Federation. This is also the case when you come to Earth. The key to what needs to be done.
The last plan currently being formulated is the arrangement for Xiao Ran. Putting Xiao Ran in Anaheim Company is simply a waste, and it will not make the lunar city controlled by Anaheim Company become his. Exclusive territory, which negates the possibility of making Anaheim an exclusive territory because there was an element of transaction in it from the beginning.
So if you want to get an exclusive territory in this world. We must start from another direction, which is the New Zeon that Char will establish in the future, or the Earth Federation. As for Zeon, Xiao Ran would not consider it at all. The only thing he could consider was the Earth Federation. If he wanted to finally achieve the goal of obtaining an exclusive territory, he must let Xiao Ran join the Earth Federation.
And it has to be a place where it is easy to achieve military exploits and get promoted quickly. Even if someone takes care of you, you have to be able to climb from a lower place to a suitable position step by step. The entire process must be very positive for the Earth Federation, and must control both the armed forces and the administrative department. Getting sincere support.
The front is easy to achieve. To climb up from the front, you only need to climb to a suitable position and have an independent jurisdiction. However, the back is difficult.
To have independent diplomatic authority. In order for the support rate of the people in the jurisdiction to reach more than 85%, the population must be 5 million, which requires a lot of energy to achieve, but judging from Xiao Ran's current plan. With the original constitution of the Earth Federation in hand, he will naturally get the highest rights to a certain extent as long as the opportunity is right enough to become the orthodoxy of the Earth Federation. In this way, you will have the possibility of obtaining an exclusive territory.
In the next few days, Xiao Ran and the other three were like tourists. They visited the entire city and the headquarters of Anaheim under the guidance of Cartiers' personnel. It was also regarded as Xiao Ran's inspection of his own industry. , and from all parts of the earth, including the universe, many people who are now or were considered important people in the Earth Federation are also rushing towards Anaheim.
Cartiers sent invitations to all stakeholders in his own name, inviting these people to come to Anaheim Company to 'visit' the newly developed super technology. Of course, Xiao Ran was not aware of the situation in private. Dare to be interested, as long as the person comes, it is enough for Xiao Ran.
However, judging from the virtues of these senior officials, it is normal to put on airs and delay the meeting. Even Cartiers arranged the start of the meeting a week later, giving these people a full week, and knew that in the end It took a day or two for these people to arrive in Anaheim in a bustling manner.
Until the day when the meeting started, the huge conference hall of Anaheim Company was full of people. There were hundreds of people sitting or standing in it. This did not include the guards, subordinates, and confidants brought by these people. Because we couldn't enter the conference room, we all stayed in other places.
This hall is decorated like a cocktail party. Although it is a meeting, it is more like a meeting of Anaheim Company. Although all of them are people from the Earth Federation, in addition to the military, there are also There are personnel from other departments of the Earth Federation, no matter where they are, everyone is familiar with each other here, and everyone gathers in groups to talk and chat with a smile on their face.
As the owner of this place, Cartiers had already received the reception with a smile on his face at the beginning of the reception. He could say a few words to everyone who came, and the other party would also maintain a friendly smile and be polite. Even talked to him flatteringly.
If an explosion suddenly occurs in this place and kills everyone here, the final result will be a huge shock to the entire Earth Federation, which is no less powerful than being dropped directly towards the Earth Federation headquarters or the Presidential Palace. A nuclear bomb is small, and the fact that Cartiers can compete with these people, and even be complimented by some of them, is enough to illustrate Cartiers' status in the Earth Federation.
Xiao Ran had been standing in a place in the hall that was not noticed and discovered by others, looking at the people with smiling faces through the glass in front of him, while Elf was giving pictures through Cardeas. The information provided was compared one by one with the people in the hall. After all, the identities of these people were explained to Xiao Ran when they entered. Especially those who deserve special attention, Al Elf would introduce them more clearly. In detail, he will give his own analysis, and of course there will also be a note on whether Cartiers can win over him.
After waiting for almost an hour, Xiao Ran felt a little impatient when he saw more and more people. It wasn't that Xiao Ran didn't have the patience to continue waiting, but Xiao Ran felt a little disgusted when he saw the smiles on those people's faces. They are all full of disgusting ugliness.
"How many people are here now."
Elf heard Xiao Ran's impatient words and replied calmly: "A total of 126 people have been invited, and there are still 7 people who have not arrived. With the identities of these last seven people, they will probably wait until the last time to appear. .”
"Hmph, these guys who are living in corpse positions can't do anything serious. They are very familiar with the privileged class and pomp and circumstance of protecting themselves." Xiao Ran hummed softly, turned around and didn't bother to look at those disgusting guys, and sat directly on a chair, and Rukino Saki also had a dissatisfied look on his face. After giving Xiao Ran a glass of wine, he curled his lips and said: "If these people are in New Gior, humph, these talents are not qualified to join New Gior. It is best to send them to Dorsey." The runner-up state mines coal.”
Elf glanced at Rukino Saki indifferently, and said truthfully in a calm voice: "Although coal mining in Dorsia Military State has been almost automated, where strength is really needed, people like these don't have it at all. There is no way. In the Dorsia military state where each performs its own duties, the only result of these useless people can only become cannon fodder in the war." (.)
