The Legendary Mechanic (Transcendental Mechanic)

Han Xiao followed two imperial non-commissioned officers through the corridor with tight sentries, and came to a large office, which had been converted into a temporary office for the three heads of state. At this time, the door of the deepest reception room was closed.

The secretary-general of the head of state put down the work at hand and greeted him with a respectful tone:

"Your Excellency Black Star, the three heads of state are still talking, it is estimated that it is almost over, please wait a moment."

"Okay, I'll sit next to you for a while."

Han Xiao found a seat and sat down. The secretary-general asked someone to bring him a drink, and he himself sat opposite Han Xiao.

In order not to make Black Star feel left out, the Secretary-General consciously acted as an escort and began to chat.

Having been in the empire for decades, Han Xiao has known many high-ranking officials, and it is not the first time he has dealt with the Secretary-General. The chat is more casual. The two of them talked, and the topic quickly touched on the small incident that happened in the ceremony just now. episode.

"Your Excellency Black Star, what do you think of that reporter just now?" the Secretary-General asked.

"Just a poor wretch."

"That's true." The Secretary-General laughed. "When he is selected, his career is destined to be affected. It is not difficult to understand that he finally decided to gamble to maximize his profits."

"Hey, I thought you must maintain political correctness for a position like yours. It is the right way to say that he took the initiative to expose the crimes of the instigator."

"Hehe, we pay attention to political correctness, but we have to do practical things. The top management doesn't like people who can only shout slogans." The Secretary-General shook his head and said: "He is not a civilized citizen of ours, and he has no patriotic factors. We hope that he will take the initiative to expose him. Very low, inform us, what can he gain?"

"A little bonus, or a pennant?" Han Xiao teased casually.

"Haha, you are quite humorous... But even these are extravagant hopes, what he got is more likely to be downgraded. He was originally a big-name reporter on his news channel who was responsible for attending official intelligence like ours, which is considered a top position , but if he exposes this matter, he will not receive preferential treatment... You also understand that we are a huge system, and each department not only does things for the entire civilization, but also considers its own achievements. So why does the news department To take the risk of letting a suspicious reporter continue to be responsible for attending official events, 80% will say hello to the senior management of the reporter’s media channel, so his company will consciously transfer the person back to take charge of other news channels.”

"Doesn't this mean that this person is worthy of reuse?"

"Is it necessary? Isn't it easier to change someone? Is he an irreplaceable role?"

"Yo, a little cold-blooded, aren't you afraid of chilling other people's hearts?" Han Xiao raised his eyebrows.

"Haha, do you think we will compete with each other around a small reporter, let others see our protection of a small reporter, so as to improve the confidence of outsiders to cooperate with us, so that if someone encounters this kind of thing in the future, there will be more Is it possible to expose it to us?" The Secretary-General laughed.

"Isn't this good?" Han Xiao was very interested.

"Different heights have different logics for handling things. At our level, many times the policy of handling things is even contrary to the logic of ordinary people's thinking. It is basically the combined effect of many factors." The secretary-general blinked, "If the status is higher If you are a person with a certain influence, or an organization with a certain influence, we may do special things and do what you said.

But a little reporter? We don't waste energy on him. The public opinion war between us and the Transcendent star cluster has been going on in secret. This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened. If he has no contacts, he may not even be able to win a place in our protection plan... In the final analysis, he is an unimportant person, so we Not too much attention. "

"Why didn't I know before, you speak so boldly?" Han Xiao looked up and down.

"Just to be honest, although public power is great, the resources that can exercise public power are limited after all. In the final analysis, it is a matter of distribution." The Secretary-General smacked his lips and said, "It's not good to put yourself in the shoes of others, so it's better to agree to the mastermind behind the scenes." , at least you can get a lot of money on the surface, and the things you do are within the scope of your normal duties, and you haven’t crossed the line... After all, it’s the freedom of journalists to ask questions, and we can’t force it. It cannot be easily destroyed."

"Can't you?"

"... At least in name, there is no budget for friendly questions in official activities, and we can only rely on authority to make people feel self-conscious." The secretary-general smiled slightly: "It's just that authority is not always useful. There are not many reporters who dare to make things difficult for us. Some are for performance, some are instigated by others, all kinds of situations have happened, and there is no constant thing.”

Han Xiao touched his chin, and suddenly said: "How do I feel, you mean something to me when you say this to me?"

"Haha, I was seen through by you. In fact, I wanted to test out how the Black Star Legion plans to deal with this reporter... With your swift and resolute methods, you must have already made arrangements." The secretary-general laughed.

What are you doing vigorously? Why don't you just say that I'm so small-minded...

Han Xiao secretly slandered, and briefly stated his plan casually.

"It's good that you didn't fall for the trick. It seems that my reminder is superfluous." The secretary-general smiled and nodded.

"...It's really hard to chat with you, don't hide it, just speak up." Han Xiao was helpless.

"Hehe, we hope to downplay the treatment in a unified way and not impose personal threats on this reporter, so we need your cooperation. If this person's life is threatened, it is easy to be made a fuss..."

"I don't think it's useless if you don't want to do it. Maybe the mastermind behind the scenes is ready to kill and set the blame, so it can still be discredited."

The Secretary-General folded his hands and said: "I understand your concerns. There is indeed such a possibility, but the probability is actually very low... First of all, such accusations are not painful or itchy, and are of no benefit to the overall situation. We just don't want to cause trouble in vain. But if someone blames someone, there must be loopholes, and it is easy to reverse the case. Moreover, how many people do you think will care about the life and death of a reporter? The people involved are journalists, and doing so will also ruin the goodwill of the media industry. If you want to publicize, you can’t do without their cooperation... There are so many factors behind the scenes. Reason for processing."

It was said that Han Xiao was noncommittal. The higher the level, the wider the knowledge. The improvement of his own means over the years, to a certain extent, came from the communication with people from different walks of life, and expanded his experience.

After chatting for a few more words, Han Xiao suddenly remembered something, changed the subject, and asked:

"Ulan Riel's term of office should be coming soon."

In the previous life, not long after the Flickering World storyline ended, the empire had a new head of state, so the days should be coming soon.

The secretary-general paused, and lowered his voice subconsciously: "I can't say how long it will be."

"Okay, let's talk about you. If Ulan Riel retires, your position will also change. Is there any news?"

"When the head of state retires, I will be the secretary-general. The change of position has not yet been decided, but it must be an expatriate to take charge of the administration, and 80% of the same level will be transferred..."

Han Xiao was about to ask casually, at this moment, the door of the reception room finally swung open.

The Secretary-General stopped the topic at the right time and made a gesture of invitation. Seeing this, Han Xiao got up and walked into the reception room. At a glance, he saw the real people of the three leaders sitting behind the table, followed by their respective Transcendent A Grade relatives. guard.

The door closed behind him, and Han Xiao greeted casually.

Dark Emperor Clottey nodded slightly, but didn't mean to speak.

On the other hand, Oulu glanced at Han Xiao from head to toe, with a look in his eyes, and said slowly: "You captured many of my friends a while ago, but it's a pity I wasn't there, otherwise you wouldn't be able to succeed."

"You're good too. It's my first time meeting you. It's a pleasure to meet you." Sensing the unkindness in Oulu's tone, Han Xiao was indifferent, and kept Yun's smile, not responding at all.

"snort."

Oulu snorted, didn't continue to talk, and raised his head slightly, showing an arrogant posture with his nostrils facing the sky... although he has no nostrils.

The first impression this guy left on Han Xiao was arrogance.

Although Kesuye said that Oulu was relatively gentle, the frame of reference was after all the dark emperor who was known for his cold ass. Han Xiao did not expect Oulu to be so enthusiastic, not to mention that he had captured a few glorious allies not long ago. It's strange to have a good face.

On the other side, Urnos didn't even open his eyes at all, as if he was asleep, and he didn't pay attention to his intentions at all, as if he didn't see it.

Among the three, Han Xiao was the most curious about Urnos. In his previous life, the two personal guards of the Dark Emperor and Oulu both entered the frontal battlefield and died in the World Tree War. Only Urnos never dispatched. There are only a handful of records in the past, and they are extremely mysterious.

Generally speaking, Urnos is rarely counted when referring to super A-level powerhouses, because he basically does not fight with others, and he is an alternative existence like Sorokin, but the reputation of the two happens to be two extremes.

At this time, Ulan Riel, the head of the empire, spoke:

"Black Star, how do you feel after receiving the Xinghai Medal?"

"I'm flattered." Han Xiao remained expressionless.

"But you don't look too pleased?"

"...You can see it, yes, I'm actually worried."

"What are you worried about?"

"If I make new contributions to the universe in the future, will you give me the second and third Star Sea Medals... I feel like I need to open up a special warehouse to store this thing, maybe someday I won't be able to put it down , distressed." Han Xiao sighed.

Ulan Riel: "?"

What are you talking about?

"Don't talk about being polite. You guys didn't come here just to encourage me, just tell me if you have something to say." Han Xiao spread his hands, pretending for a day today, and now he doesn't want to be polite.

Badr pondered, and said: "Then let's get straight to the point. I believe you have also learned from other sources that the dispute between us and the Transcendent star cluster alliance is about to start. The Black Star Legion is the leader of the private warlord organization of Flickering World. We need You provide some help."

Han Xiao frowned.

The three major civilizations have been trying to get the Transcendent A Grade Association to help them deal with the Transcendent star cluster, and even decided to use the monopoly of professional knowledge as a bargaining chip, but the association has never agreed. After that, the three major civilizations had no extra moves, but now they have started again.

"You should know the results of the discussion of the Transcendent A Grade Development Federation some time ago. I thought that was the answer." Han Xiao said.

"Yes, we know that the Transcendent A Grade Association intends to abide by neutrality, but that is your own agreement, not our needs." The leader of Void Spirit said lightly.

Ulan Riel also echoed: "Black Star, we hope you can work on this matter."

The Scarlet Empire distributed the territory to the Transcendent A Grade allies, hoping that the allies would contribute at this time, but the establishment of the Development Federation exceeded expectations, and the originally scheduled allies now wanted to remain neutral, so they naturally quit.

Although the territory of the Black Star Legion is a reward for meritorious service, there is a purpose in giving it out. If it cannot achieve the effect the empire wants, they will naturally not give up on it.

"I thought we had reached a consensus on this issue, but it seems that you have misunderstood my position." Han Xiao narrowed his eyes.

"Don't get me wrong, we understand what you mean, but this is not beyond the scope of our agreement." Badr said solemnly.

The three major civilizations are so popular for Black Star, and they also want to find a spokesperson for them to speak out in the association, use Han Xiao as a link, and influence the Development Federation through him, and this kind of juncture is when the spokesperson comes in handy—— There are also Transcendent A Grades on the Transcendent star cluster, so the three major civilizations will not easily allow allies to strike.

"If I do this, I will deviate from the united front, and a small loss will make a big difference." Han Xiao waved his hand.

"Don't worry, we have taken this into consideration and have chosen an entry point for you..." The leader of Void Spirit leaned forward, "Since you publicly stated that you have personal grievances with the Mordo civilization, you just use this as a reason to operate a little With one click, you can use a reasonable excuse to let more Transcendent A Grades intervene in the turmoil without damaging your reputation in the association."

"You said that if you don't hurt, you won't hurt? Don't talk about it." Han Xiao waved his hand.

"Then let's take a step back, we don't force you to participate in the whole incident, but if the Transcendent A Grade of the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance takes action, I hope that the Development Federation will respond—since you have shouted the slogan to regulate all Transcendent A Grade conflicts , you should carry it out to the end, this is just within the scope of your responsibilities, and you are famous for your success."

Han Xiao thought about the plans of the three major civilizations for a moment, snorted in his heart, and made a embarrassed look on his face, explaining: "But in this case, the Transcendent A Grade who is willing to stand up for the Transcendent star cluster must be them Your direct line, and you also have your own direct line, isn't it just right for the direct line to fight against the direct line, if you insist on letting the association take action, it seems somewhat biased, which seems inappropriate."

Badr's tone increased, and he said dissatisfiedly: "If you say so, then what do we need you allies?"

Han Xiao frowned, and his tone was not to be outdone: "If you are capable, you revoke all super A-level covenants."

Bader was immediately speechless.

You are awesome, I shut up.
