Chapter 6
The parties concerned in history
The long silence, proved that the request which the anti-government put forward, for the Tai family, for Charlie Tai, and for senator Palmer who he and his mother had already confirmed to support, all would be a very attractive terms of exchange.
Charlie Tai knows it clearly, if not for the present complicated political environment in the four states surrounding the mountains, and the force pressure of the federal war hawks are stronger day after day, led by the leader Namsui the anti-government army definitely wouldn’t initiatively offer the peace request. But he had to admit, even so, the anti-government army still had enough chips in exchange for the corresponding condition.
“Have the negotiation before the campaign, even the senator Palmer still can’t affect the internal decision of the federal government.” Charlie Tai broke the silence, reminded the other party.
“Palmer can’t do it, but the public voice can, the influence which the Tai family have in the dark can.” the middle-aged man said calmly, “if let the federal citizens know, the Presidential candidate senator Palmer, is risking the great political risk, having the peace negotiation with we these outrageous anti-government army… and at this time, if the federal government have the contrarian movement, forcedly launch the military strike on us, they would be bound to send out the most powerful rebuked sound at the federal government.”
“I admit what you said makes sense, this kind of interest exchange really is also very attractive.” Charlie Tai silenced for a moment then said, “but I can’t reply your request right away, please give me some time.”
“I can’t stay too long in the core area of the federation, you should know it very clearly.” the middle-aged man said with a smile, “although the Charter Bureau wouldn’t come to bother me, but I still keep the respect to those hunting dogs of the Department of Defense and the spiders of the FBI. If I stay in the federal territory for too long, that would rather look down upon them too much.”
Charlie Tai pushed the coffee cup to aside, said with a smile, “since you have already taken the risk to come here, then take the risk to wait for a few more hours, wouldn’t it be alright?”
“The reason why I dared to take the risk to come over here, that’s because I knew nobody in the federal government, would guess that I would dare to take this kind of risk.” the middle-aged man said calmly, “if I stay over here for too long, then this wouldn’t be taking the risk, but stupid.”
“Then how can I contact with you?”
“How did I come in, you should check it out very easily with your ability. When you make the decision, please tell your final decision to that young fellow, that will be alright.”
Charlie Tai warped up the corners of his mouth slightly, said with a smile, “then I still have to ensure the safety of that young man in the federal territory as well, Mr. Chime, your consideration really don’t have any omission.”
“No. I even don’t know, after I come down from this second floor, how much time would be left for me to escape.” the middle-aged man said with a smile.
Charlie Tai stared at him in the eyes quietly, seemed to tell from the other party this sentence, whether he had already guessed out something or just the habitual joke.
After a moment, he looked at the other party and said seriously, “what you considered is right, the interest exchange really is what I value the most, but the more I think about is the future of the federation… if I have the chance to catch you, kill you, I don’t mind to notice the federal military.”
“But I still haven’t noticed them so far, that’s because I respect the role of the negotiator.” Charlie Tai said calmly, “once you left the field of the dancing party, perhaps I would really let the federal government try all the possible ways to catch you… there is always a saying, if the anti-government army didn’t have you, they had already become a dish in the hand of the government. This kind of temptation, in fact, is not smaller than reaching the peace agreement.”
Heard this, the middle-aged man smiled slightly, have struggled with the federal government for these many years, he knows it better than anyone, these privilege class of the federation, how they want to destroy the career of the mountains in once. These real masters of the federation, are how as cold as marble they are. But he confirmed that the other party at least wouldn’t have the action at this moment, because this doesn’t accord with the real interest of the other party’s family.
This time he took the huge risk, even not spare to expose the hidden inside the federation most successfully spy subordinate, still wanted to meet with the heir of the Tai family, on the one hand, because the situation of the anti-government army is really critical. And still have a more important private reason, he wants to take a look for himself, the federal future leader of the new generation, would be what kind of people. This kind of first-hand information, is far more important than any intelligence.
After he met with Charlie Tai, the middle-aged man wasn’t disappointed, and also was somewhat disappointed. He was not disappointed, because he has already confirmed that this heir of the Tai family, is not a stupid person. And his disappointment also is because of this point, because he also could tell that the other party doesn’t have any sympathy to the anti-government army, or the moral support. What he presented in the conversation, were all the bare interests and evaluations.
Seemed to guess what this number two character of the anti-government army was thinking, Charlie Tai said slowly, “in the present that the Empire would launch the aggressive war at any time, the people of the anti-government, still for those null and ethereal reasons, dividing the popular feeling of the federation, consuming the federal resources, containing the federal military forces… in my eyes, in fact, all of you should be counted as the traitors, the Charter Bureau shouldn’t give you the legal positions.”
The middle-aged man considered for a moment and then said seriously, “you and the family behind you are the vested interest people in the federal political framework, your opinion is not necessarily correct. If the Empire really invade, I believe the soldiers of the mountains, on the resisting foreign enemy aspect, would perform more respectfully than those people of the federal four big military regions.”
“The never happened thing, no need to have the judgment on it.” Charlie Tai said, “any excuse couldn’t change the image the anti-government army have in my heart.”
“We never pay attention to how the big shots of the federation would treat our cause. Perhaps in the not long future, we are doomed to be a pair of can’t coexist natural enemies. But at least for now, we can cooperate.” the middle-aged man said, “the coexistence of the cat and mouse, perhaps would be a very interesting thing.”
“I am dying to know, who is the cat, who would be the mouse.”
“The people’s will couldn’t be resist, the seven big families this kind of deformed existence, no matter how strong it is, one day, in front of the tide of the history, it would also become the person hated by everyone and people calling for your heads.” the middle-aged man said calmly, “this is the argument of Mr. George Collin, hereby have this mutual encouragement with you.”
“I never deny this point.” Charlie Tai said, “but I always think, you are fat cats of the human society indeed.”
“The different paths, still could have the same conversation. But not to talk to the point, then we don’t need to have the further talk.” the middle-aged man stood up with a smile and said, “if you have any good news, please notice that young man. If you don’t have any good news, I will be waiting in the mountains, I will pour a glass of wine for your friends, take it as holding a memorial ceremony for them.”
Charlie Tai stood up with a smile, ignored the other party this sentence of the psychological offensive, he said, “the last question, where your confidence actually come from? Why are you sure after you leave the dancing party, the federation couldn’t catch you… just like just now when you foll
owed Sheilor to come up to the upstairs here, you are sure that there is no danger.”
“Intelligence, is the source of all the strength.” the middle-aged man had an elegant ritual, which is very not accord with his that wretched temperament, “and my ability, that would be a secret.”
Charlie Tai silenced for a long time, then he said, “after the brief cooperation, I will be in the longer years, to take exterminating your armed forces as the goal. But I have to say, in the whole universe, I only admire five people, you are one of them. Today I could have the first negotiation with you after my adult ceremony, I benefited from it a lot.”
“I am very curious who will be all those five people, don’t know whether childe Tai can satisfy my this little vanity?” the middle-aged man had his eyes shined a bit, properly revealed his curiosity.
“Besides you, there are also that ordinary man by the lakeside, that don’t know life and death George Collin…” Charlie Tai said seriously, “my life, take you five people as the target of my hard work.”
“Oh, the manpower sometimes would be used up, everyone has his own expert aspect. Such as in the intelligence this aspect, I don’t believe that there would be anyone stronger than I am, of course, this is also my secret. And take Philadelphia that old man as another sample, I also don’t think that there is anyone stronger than his personal force… childe Tai, no need to force yourself too much.”
“Work hard not necessarily will reach the goal.” Charlie Tai said with a smile, “actually I just have the extravagant hope, in the future, all the federal excellent characters would become my subordinates.”
The middle-aged man praised, “the son of the noble family, although a little bit disgusting, but this confidence is really horrible.”
The number two character of the anti-government army, showed up in the core zone of the federation just like this, and then left quietly, even didn’t leave a shadow down, only left the Tai family a clue could be traced. But if the Tai family was willing to accept the conditions of the anti-government army, then that clue would be the secret which the Tai family must keep.
Charlie Tai raised his wrist and took a look at the time, counted a few times silently in the heart, then said to the by his side steward Ken, “prepare a secret line, I want to talk with my mother.”
Steward Ken nodded his head to respond, they had already left enough time for the leaving of that man. If the other party really fall in the hands of the federal military, then it explains that the legend also has that day lost his brilliance.
“He uses the identity of Shielding’s uncle.” steward Ken gave the commands and instructions to the subordinates, then he said in the soft voice, “Shielding graduated from the First Military Academy, he is regarded as a very important younger generation official in the FBI, nobody expected, he would incredibly be the spy of the anti-government army.”
“I am more curious, as the most successful intelligence chief in the Constitution Calendar thirty-seven, why would he leave Shielding to us intentionally?” Charlie Tai closed his eyes and said, “with a spy’s life, as the safety valve to test the sincerity of my family, this seems somewhat not conform with the inertial act style of that man.”
“Keep an eye on Sheilor and Shielding.” Charlie Tai didn’t have too much expression on his face, “ensure that the former doesn’t suffer any harassment, ready to contact the latter… or arrest him.”
Left the dancing party Sheilor, didn’t know that the “uncle Shield” had an influence extremely far-reaching conversation with Charlie Tai. At this time, he was walking in the snow trees in the campus with the down mood, completely didn’t have the self-awareness as the party concerned of the history.
He is just a nobody, but just this nobody, indirectly led to the formation of a small wave in the great era.
Of course, the anti-government army force in the current difficult situation, they could even temporarily give up the political philosophy which they always believe in, even that man took the great risk to come to the federation to have the negotiation personally. Presumably even if there were no Sheilor this man in this world, they still would try every possibility to find Charlie Tai.
But the problem is, if there were no Sheilor, then in this dancing party, most likely would be the people of the senator Medellin, or other else what forces, get the jump in front of them, persuaded the Tai family and the partner senator Palmer who the Tai family have chosen.
The grass by the Rose river still has the thin snow on, floating the insipid light under the moonlight.
The dressed in the suit Sheilor felt a bit cold, he blew a breath on his hands, but he doesn’t worry about that he would get cold. Since he followed uncle Fengyu to practice that set of strange movements, he seems to very hard to get sick.
His eyes turned from the two moons to the direction of the east, saw that familiar girl student apartment. The Plum Garden is still over there, but Sheilor’s heart is unusually quiet, he knew that Charming had her secret, but if she doesn’t want to tell him about it, he also don’t want to probe into it.
Inside of the suit was full of the cold sweat, after knew Charlie Tai that shocking identity, Sheilor has the complicated mood. Earlier that moment, the conversation made him very nervous, he kept the calm very stubbornly in front of the other party, just to maintain his that little self-respect, even in front of the federal privilege class, the self-respect of the nobody seems somewhat poor.
Temporarily he wouldn’t dare to go to the H1 area, although at this time, all the people thought the people inside of the black mecha was Charlie Tai, Sheilor still doesn’t want to take the risk.
At this time, the night is deep, he suddenly find out that he doesn’t have anywhere to go, and he doesn’t want to go back to the room by the iron gate. He then understand, originally, one year after he fled from the East Forest Region to the Capital Planet Circle, he still is a lonely poor guy.
Just at this time, he suddenly saw on a remote river wall by the cold Rose river, had a brush of like burning fire red in the night, kept flashing in the cold wind, that is exactly the dressed in red dress Youzhi.
A lonely girl by the riverside in the night, although Sheilor dislikes the conducts of the Chad siblings very much, but he still couldn’t help to have some worry when he saw this scene. He walked to the direction of the river bank quietly, was afraid that he would shock the other party, let her do some crazy things.
But before he could get close to the river bank, he found a very familiar figure, ran out from the frost grass outside of the river bank, brought that red dress down to the ground directly.
Youzhi’s struggle, the low and angry curses and the purr cry came from the distance.
Sheilor stayed in situ blankly, of course he could tell that this is not a scene of midnight rape in front of him. He just somewhat couldn’t understand, why childe Shielding this guy would show up over here?
