Spy Family

Compared with Lu Linbei and Professor Qiao, Xiang Biguo's mission was more urgent. After discussing with the programmers at the rear, he came to say goodbye to Lu Linbei, "I'm very sorry. I should protect Major Lu, but..."

"I understand. Just concentrate on solving the loopholes. With my blessing, I hope you can succeed as soon as possible."

Xiang Biguo smiled and said, "Yes."

"Please tell Ma Changshang to temporarily transfer Xiaoxing to Zhu Canchen until my wife returns..."

"No need, Ma Zhangyang will not participate in this operation."

"Huh?" Lu Linbei was surprised.

"Ma Youyou's code is still not completely repaired and needs to stay in the old robot chip, so he will continue to look after Xiaoxing. Others will work together to solve the problem, especially me. Everyone needs my data."

"That's fine. If there is a chance to get more information, I will pass it on to Ma Changshang." Lu Linbei understood that the programmer of the Universal Power Conference was going to hide.

"Thank you very much. So, bye."

"goodbye."

Xiang Piguo returned to the bedroom. He liked this body very much, but he didn't need to take it away. The code returned to the back of the Universal Power Association through the network and joined other programmers.

The negotiations had not yet begun. On the first day after arriving in Zhaijing, Lu Linbei lost an arm and could only act alone. Professor Qiao and his two assistants were basically unable to help.

Professor Qiao's friends could tell him what the council really thought, but they couldn't provide any solid evidence.

Lu Linbei had already made detailed plans when he was still at the Universal Rights Council, and now he could only implement them alone.

The next morning, Lu Linbei accompanied Professor Qiao to the first negotiation and took the opportunity to observe the people on the board of directors. This was also one of his tasks.

The negotiations were held in the headquarters building of Infinite Light Industry. There were only four people on the Universal Rights Council side. The board of directors sent a delegation of seventeen people, led by a vice chairman, who was equal in level to the vice chairman, Professor Qiao. , far beyond it in terms of momentum.

According to the agreement, this is an open negotiation, allowing the media and a small audience to observe, and it will be broadcast live on the Internet.

In the first negotiation, both sides basically said their own words, mainly explaining their own positions and blaming the other side.

They were all relatively polite when explaining their positions, and they were surprisingly unanimous. They all wanted to maintain the independence of King Zhai and ensure the interests of all residents, and so on.

The negotiation soon entered the accusation stage. The Council took the lead, claiming that the Universal Power Council was most responsible for the current situation of King Zhai. It was because of the troubles caused by the General Power Council that King Zhai was unable to concentrate its efforts on the interstellar war, and the expedition fleet was defeated.

Professor Qiao was well prepared for this. When it was his turn to speak, he spoke impassionedly, firing sentence after sentence like a machine gun, describing all the unfairness and unreasonableness of Zhai Wangxing society. Finally, he said: "You claim to be the Universal Suffrage Association." 'Leading' a large number of innocent residents, as if the council once had widespread support. No, any Zhaiwang resident would say this is a lie. You have never received widespread support, and those you ignore or even forget will also treat you as Ignore and forget, the people who are oppressed by you have always responded with silence until one day they pick up a gun. The Universal Suffrage Association does not need to incite anyone, the resistance has already existed. We are the fruits of the Universal Suffrage Movement, and the seeds were originally planted. You are the ones who cultivate the soil and water the soil, but when the fruit does not turn out as expected, you are responsible for the fruit.”

The Council delegation was also fully prepared and began to refute Professor Qiao's statement. Some people were responsible for throwing out data, some cited vivid examples, and some started from legal principles and logic...

Professor Qiao proved that his ability to join the Origin Society was not just a fake. He was not a real psychiatrist, nor a professor of sociology who was good at teaching and educating people, but he was a warrior and a debater. Luo Luofeng speaks clearly and clearly, getting angry when he should be angry and laughing when he should be, which is very different from his usual acrimonious style.

Lu Linbei was shocked and secretly admired him. As for Professor Qiao's old acquaintances, they nodded frequently in the auditorium and did not feel too surprised.

The first negotiation turned into a debate, which lasted for three hours, with a two-hour break at noon and continued in the afternoon. This time it was a closed-door consultation. The two sides no longer shouted slogans, but each put forward their real demands and recorded them one by one. , bargaining item by item over the next few days.

The requirements of the two sides are very different. The bottom line of the Universal Rights Council is to strive for an independent and legal status and to have access to space. The Council is single-minded in integrating the Universal Rights Council into the existing system, and ostensibly allows the Universal Rights Council to participate. The right to choose, but insisted on canceling the title of the Resistance New Army and merging it with the Zhai Wangxing government army.

Since it was just a record, there was no heated debate between the two sides, and they even joked about each other's conditions. Professor Qiao said: "You can't afford to support the millions of people who resist the new army."

"If there were really millions of people, the Universal Power Association would have gone bankrupt long ago. Don't worry, Professor Qiao, King Zhai has some wealth, enough to support an army. But you, what do you want a space channel for? Do you want to travel?" Representatives also use the title "Professor Qiao" in informal situations.

The afternoon consultations ended in less than two hours. At the subsequent press conference, both sides admitted that their differences were serious, but expressed optimism about future negotiations and believed that an agreement could be reached as planned.

On the way back to the hotel in the car, Professor Qiao let out a sigh of relief. He was so exhausted from the day that he had no energy to laugh at Lu Linbei's words and deeds, and remained silent along the way.

Professor Qiao is a busy man. He returned to the hotel to take a rest and immediately took his two assistants out to attend a banquet. This was another battlefield where he wanted to use his personal charm to gain more support from the upper class circles.

Lu Linbei did not need to participate. Professor Qiao refused to use bodyguards from the beginning. Before setting off, he said to Li Fangyuan: "In the enemy's territory, no matter how many guards there are, it is useless. They will only show cowardice. If the council insists on letting me die, , then very good, there is another victim of the Universal Rights Association, and I will say hello to the pioneer Pan Luming on your behalf."

In fact, Lu Linbei also received an invitation, and the location was in a restaurant inside the building.

The restaurant is relatively secluded and is difficult to find for non-regular customers. The dining location is even more secluded. Although it is not a private room, it is separated from other areas by wooden rails, plants, etc. Even guests who have been here a few times must be guided by a waiter so as not to be confused. Wrong direction.

Lu Linbei arrived on time. Cui Zhuning from the General Intelligence Bureau stood up to greet him, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Major Lu."

"Long time no see." Lu Linbei said with a smile. The two of them were relatively familiar. Although they had never become friends, they had collaborated several times.

After sitting down, Cui Zhuning said: "Secretary Cheng is busy with official duties and will arrive later. I have been specifically asked to express my apology to Major Lu."

Secretary Cheng Cheng Toushi is another acquaintance of Lu Linbei. We haven’t seen each other for several years. His political career has not ended. Instead, he has become the chairman’s personal secretary. He rarely appears in public, but with his influence on the chairman himself, He is one of the most powerful figures in Zhai Jing.

The two of them drank some drinks first and passed the time by reminiscing about the past. Cui Zhuning talked a lot, treating all the overt and covert fights as good talking points, "Well, compared to the Mei family, our Cui family is in decline. It should be said that the entire General Intelligence Bureau is in decline. In Decline, everyone originally had a clear division of labor, but the current situation is that the General Intelligence Bureau is not allowed to go out to the star, but the Military Intelligence Department can do whatever they want on King Zhai in the name of investigating alien spies, and then let us clean up the mess."

"As long as a family still exists, it is not really in decline. Life has its ups and downs, so why not the family?"

"Haha, it's well said. There is a saying that 'if you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood.' Although I don't understand why we need to burn firewood, I understand the meaning of the whole sentence. The Mei family will not always be prosperous, and the Cui family will not be prosperous forever. It will not continue to decline, but there is a question. Please allow me to ask curiously: Has the attitude of the Pu Quan Association towards the family changed?"

"What does Director Cui think Puquan will do towards the family?"

Cui Zhuning was the deputy director of the General Intelligence Bureau, but when he was called "Director Cui," he never corrected him and said with a smile: "According to your slogans and propaganda, you want to drive out all the major families."

"The Universal Rights Council has no intention to 'drive out' any group. Universal rights include everyone, including families, but there is a prerequisite. The family's privileges must be abolished. Everyone competes based on their true abilities. For families with many talented people, we only They will be respected and not suppressed.”

Cui Zhuning looked relaxed, but obviously didn't believe a word he said, "That's right. The current crisis that King Zhai is in is because the family has too many privileges, and they are still increasing. Within the family, it is difficult to evaluate a person. The most important criterion for a member is to see what new privileges he has won for the family."

"Director Cui has been promoted step by step and has obviously won many new privileges."

"I feel ashamed to say that the reason why I am valued by the family is not because of my meritorious service, but because the Cui family's figures are declining. People with real ability either retire or are killed, and mediocre people like me are promoted."

"Director Cui is too humble."

"It's not humility, it's the truth, but I still agree with what Major Lu just said. Everyone competes based on their true abilities. This will be a stimulus for the Cui family. If there is really no talent among us, then we should be willing to give up our position."

"If all the major families had Director Cui's insight and mind, there would be no need to establish the Universal Power Council."

Neither of them believed what the other said, so they didn't tell the truth either. Lies have an advantage. You may feel a little guilty in the first two sentences, but as you speak, you will feel more confident because you don't need to take responsibility. The more you tell, the more you can let go. Open, and even enter a state similar to "sincerity", start to believe the other party's words, and believe in your own words, which is more speculative than a conversation between good friends.

But falsehood is false after all, like a ball of lively steam, they have to dissipate when the cold wind comes.

Cheng Toushi acted as Hanfeng, with an indifferent look on his face. He was too lazy to pretend to be enthusiastic. He reluctantly nodded to the two people who arrived first and made a vague hum in his mouth. After sitting down, he waved the waiter away and said directly to Lu Linbei: "The council decided to expel the Mei family from the Military Intelligence Agency. Is Major Lu interested in this?"
