Chapter 1745 Presidential Assassination and Betrayal (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)
[80 years old: But Motok did not return. He died in Dawn City, which also dragged the group into a huge turmoil. Even though the board of directors quickly cut ties to save the king, it still had a major impact on the group. As a result, the Federation also cut off a mercenary group's quota.]
The board had no choice but to call on you to calm the agitated mercenaries and, at the same time, to further lobby Graystone Palace, hoping the president would put pressure on Dawn City. You realized that the Federation was fracturing at a speed far beyond your comprehension.
You made a rare initiative to call your brother. He said the president was very wary of him and rarely told him the specifics of the situation. However, according to information he received from his friends in the parliament and Graystone Palace, the president seemed to be trying to balance the conflict between Dawn City and the corporation, attempting to expand the power of the federal central government through this balancing act.
Although this may seem like playing with fire, your brother believes that if successful, the president's power will be amplified to an unparalleled level, even though this has nothing to do with him as vice president, as he is too old and would hardly have any party support if he ran for re-election.
You tell your brother to take care of himself. You realize that the Federation is not as stable and balanced as you had previously imagined, and you begin to consider whether to step down and resign from the board.
You called your son to tell him to be careful, but he instead urged you to watch the news and excitedly told you that change was coming and a new era was about to begin.
You don't believe that the so-called new era will arrive soon, or even that it will arrive as your son predicted. But this time, instead of arguing with him, you advised him to be careful and not to join any radical groups. Your son seemed to sense your unusual vigilance and agreed to your request.
You don't know if he will listen to you. You sense a certain urgency in the air. You go to Elan City yourself and see the huge ruins outside Elan City.
This is the first time you've seen the remnants of an angelic battle. Although you've heard of angels before, this is the first time you've truly realized their terror.
Under such power, your proud B-grade physique and abilities are utterly vulnerable.
You start searching for more information about angels. You call your brother and ask him if he knows of any places in the Federation where angels exist, so you can be careful and avoid them.
Your brother made a trip to Graystone Palace for you and found the old president. He didn't get any information about the federal angels, but he gave you some information that you didn't expect: angels can be promoted from humans.
The angel is the A-level superhuman you've been searching for.
This information almost shattered your worldview. Your family's foundation was still too shallow to know such core information. And by the time you found out, it was too late. You were too old. I don't know if you can collect the angel talent sequence corresponding to the Hell Manager before you die.
You've set your sights on the next generation. Your brother's great-grandchildren are growing up. Find a group of them, train them, and slowly develop their abilities. Spend several generations building up their influence, and perhaps you can cultivate an angel.
However, this is no longer your concern. You shared your views with your younger brother, who agreed and indicated that he might send his child over to be raised by you.
But the new changes disrupted all your plans. The old president was assassinated. He had offended too many people, and even though he only had a few months left in his term, some people didn't want him to continue.
Graystone Palace claims the assassination was orchestrated by the Director of Intelligence, but you know very well that there's probably much more to it than just the Director of Intelligence.
Your brother, in his seventies and nearing the end of his political career, became the president of the Union in such a dramatic way.
You attended the old president's funeral in Irons and had a long talk with your brother all night. You rarely see so much energy in your brother; he seemed to have returned to the time when your father was still alive, when he was only in his thirties, so energetic and vigorous.
Power is the best stimulant. He finally sat on the throne in the Graystone Palace. While you were chatting, he had already made arrangements with the Nord financial consortium and devised a way to maintain balance.
With the capture of the assassin, your brother will obviously be able to get re-elected, and may even be re-elected for two more terms.
The old president was right. Your brother is just like the old president. After he comes to power, he will adopt the same policies as the old president.
You know that nothing you say will make a difference right now, but you still tell your brother that he is now at the very center of the federal vortex, and his power and foundation are not as strong as the assassinated old president.
You could tell he was a little unhappy, but you still finished what you were saying.
After leaving Irons, you didn't go straight back to the mercenary group, but instead went to Willens. There you met your son, who was energetically discussing the situation with some of his classmates.
But clearly, he didn't tell his classmates that his uncle was the new president.
You had far fewer topics to discuss this time than last time, and you almost got into an argument several times. However, he seems to have matured a lot over the years. He thanked you for your concern, but also said that he would not disregard the lives of millions of people in order to cherish his own life.
You just thought he was stupid. You reached out to hit him, but looking at his stiff neck, you gave up in the end. You left some people to protect him and left Willens.
Only after you left did you realize that you hadn't returned his commemorative coin to him.
Fortunately, nothing major happened in the remaining six months, and the group was unusually quiet, without asking you to carry out any secret missions.
But it is precisely the calmness on the surface of the water that makes you feel the undercurrents beneath.
Near the end of the year, your younger brother suddenly called to tell you that he was not planning to seek re-election. You were a little surprised, but you still supported his choice.
He didn't tell you why he gave up, but you vaguely sensed that in the past six months, he had probably experienced some unexpected shocks.
In Irons, some conflicts have become so acute that they are simply irreconcilable.
You know, compared to the assassinated old president, your brother is a more willing person to 'compromise'.
He will seize any opportunity, however small, but he will never persist in trying to gain even the slightest chance.
In this respect, he is very much like his father.
When your grandfather was alive, he often said that your father's eyes were full of profit, but he lacked ambition. By the time your father grew up, your grandfather had already achieved success. He had not experienced the hardships of fighting at the bottom, nor had he developed any ambition.
Your grandfather used to say you were more like him, but now you feel your son is more like him than you are.
You thought the year would be over, but as the year was drawing to a close, a major event occurred: an evil god descended upon the entire northeastern part of the Federation.
Upon receiving the news, you flew to Willens immediately. Fortunately, your son was unharmed.
You learned the full story from your younger brother: the angels who were originally stationed in the northeast of the Federation embezzled and held a sacrificial ceremony in an attempt to summon an evil god. They were stopped by an apostle who was suspected to be K. That apostle was just an eighteen-year-old boy.
After this incident, you can see that your son idolizes K even more.
But all you feel is terror. That K appears every six months, and each time there is a major disaster. Who knows if he resolves the disaster or if he uses these disasters to build his own godhood and attract people to believe in him?
You tried to take your son away from Willens, and you had an even more intense argument. He thought you were stubborn, stupid, arrogant, and didn't understand what time it was.
You argued for almost the entire night, and finally, he threatened to kill himself to force you to give up the idea.
You carefully studied the pattern of the 'K''s appearance. It's rare for the 'K' to appear twice in the same place at the same time, bringing two disasters. You can only comfort yourself that Willens is probably safe.
You instructed your subordinates to protect your son even more closely, but your son still found a loophole and slipped away.
When your subordinates finally found him, they learned that he had gone to Xiluo City to build a statue for the apostle of 'K'.
He also met someone you might not expect, 'Kminda,' the man who was elected the new president at the end of the year.
Your brother said that Kminda is surrounded by radicals, much more radical than Christos.
You don't want your son to associate with these people, but you can't stop him.
[At 81: You started studying the 'K' case, researching why so many people liked and followed him.]
After detailed research, you slightly changed your views. You think that although some of 'K's' actions were too radical, they are still understandable in essence. However, you still believe that he should not have created such a big storm and power.
Moreover, many of K's so-called followers are now behaving more radically and excessively than K himself.
You think these guys are a bit too extreme.
Kminda's radicalism is beyond your imagination; he actually tried to forcibly promote Christos's series of plans in Dawn City throughout the entire Federation.
If these bills are implemented, the corporations' profits will be severely impacted, and they may be unable to provide more jobs, leading to a higher unemployment rate than it is now.
But Keminda’s team was even more radical than him; his vice president even gave a speech calling for the complete abolition of conglomerates.
During this period, the board of directors held several meetings with you, and even began to discuss whether the cities controlled by the group could secede from federal autonomy.
You realize that if the original environment of the Federation was like lukewarm water, now Keminda has boiled the water directly.
Ultimately, something happened that was both unexpected and not entirely unexpected: Kminda was assassinated during his speech in Witland.
Within a year, two consecutive federal presidents have been assassinated. Nothing like this has ever happened in your previous eighty years of life. Your brother's decision to withdraw from the race is clearly the right one.
Irons announced the president's death almost that very night, with his more radical vice president taking over.
Just when you thought the new president might also be assassinated, the new president's attitude took a 180-degree turn. Before the FBI's investigation results were even released, he directly announced that Christos had sent someone to assassinate the president.
That same evening, he announced an investigation into Christos and a plan to arrest him.
Christos immediately gave a speech denying the incident and accusing the new president of betraying his companions and allies.
But the new president acted faster than anyone expected. He quickly dissolved the cabinet and appointed a new cabinet that was almost entirely composed of retired conglomerate executives.
Even the board of directors of the Menshu Group was somewhat bewildered by this sudden move, but they quickly seemed to have received some information and calmed down.
The new president even directly ordered intelligence agents to forcibly arrest Christos in Dawn City, leading to a standoff with the city's defense forces.
This move caused a huge uproar throughout the Federation. Starting in Dawn City, protests against the new president broke out in cities such as Elan, Winter, and St. John.
The march then quickly spread to the central part of the Federation, and then to the western part.
Even at the headquarters of your mercenary group, the Gatespin Group, large-scale protests against the new president have broken out.
The protests expanded in scope, ranging from demands for an investigation into the assassination of Keminda and opposition to the new president's forceful enforcement of the law to protests against corporations.
Some Midwestern cities have begun refusing to authorize marches in order to control the scope of the protests.
However, new demonstrations continue to emerge uncontrollably.
You realize something is wrong and immediately ask for leave, but the board of directors rejects your request.
The House of Representatives initiated impeachment proceedings against the new president, but the process was slow. The new president began mobilizing the central army, stating that if Christos did not cooperate with the investigation, he would be forcibly arrested.
There have been instances of conflict between presidents and the mayor of Dawn in federal history, but never has it been this intense.
At the same time, the new president declared that the K faith is an evil god faith, and any belief in 'K' and the dissemination of related cases will be severely punished and dealt with as an evil god faith.
Starting in some small cities in central Taiwan, local governments and city defense forces began large-scale arrests of individuals involved in spreading the 'K' faith.
You realized something was wrong and immediately ordered your subordinates to bring your son back by force, but it was too late. Your son was neither in Willens nor in Xilo City; he seemed to have left the northeastern part of the Federation.
More intense marches and protests erupted throughout the federal government, with some marches beginning to storm the corporation's headquarters.
The Menshu Group has asked you to send a mercenary group to guard the group's building. You sense that something is wrong and give all your subordinates a strict order not to fire on the marching crowd.
But the situation you predicted still happened. The mayor of Troon, a city in the central Federation, declared the local march to be illegal, a cult gathering that worshipped 'K', and ordered the city's defense forces to begin arresting those involved.
A violent clash broke out between the protesters and the city's defense forces, with the Rockwell Energy Group mercenary group also involved, resulting in numerous casualties.
Numerous videos of the incident went viral across the federal network.
You are also frantically searching for your son.
