Chapter 214 Grassroots Politicians
Office machines of old models but brand new, various small notes posted on the walls and written on the whiteboard, piles of flyers and posters stacked in the corners of the room, among the chaotic furnishings were several who looked like assistants.
The characters were busy silently, making Aaron feel like he had stepped into a political TV series from fifty years ago. Such classic campaign offices are no longer visible in modern times. First of all, the vast majority of people choose to ignore politics and elections.
I feel that these are just internal games among the elites. Even if some people with lofty ideals really want to speak out for the people, they will first choose online publicity instead of this extremely expensive and extremely inefficient method of publicity.
"Just find a place to sit," the man who was napping on his desk rubbed his temples and got up, "You look like you're quite surprised."
"I thought I would see a newly-minted gang leader, but I didn't expect to see a politician who was fifty years out of date." Aaron moved the leaflets stacked on the sofa and sat down on the vacant seat.
"You think I want this?" The man smiled helplessly, "Whoever is behind you, give them a call now."
"?" Aaron was confused.
"Just give it a try." The man was very good at selling.
"...?!" The strange Aaron tried to contact Lan Tian. He was surprised to find that his communication could not be connected, but the signal status was displayed as smooth. Then he tried to connect to the main network and got the same result.
"There is a signal but it can't be connected. Isn't it amazing?" The man laughed.
"All telecommunications service providers have automatically blocked communication requests from this area." Aaron immediately figured out the cause of this strange situation, but there was no problem with his previous contact with Yu Wanzhi, which made Aaron a little bit
Can't figure it out.
"Our network situation is not even as good as it was fifty years ago. It may have gone back to when the network first appeared in the last century." The man nodded, "Do you understand why this place is like this?"
"You are just amusing yourself." Aaron frowned and said, "No one outside is willing to listen to your voice. They just want you to disappear completely from sight. It is best not to show up again forever."
"Oh, you think I don't know?" The man smiled sarcastically, "But the people who have to live here in the future must have some hope for the future. If we just tell them the truth, do you think they will do anything?
What’s your reaction?”
"There is a high probability that he will give up on himself." This is not the first time Aaron has seen this kind of water flowing downwards.
"We can't become a group of thugs that are worse than the original residents of District 9. That will make us never get ahead." The man sighed, "So even if he knows it is fake, someone must stand up and give them hope.
Only in this way can the most basic order be maintained. To be honest, I don't like to play such a role, but if no one else does it, I can only stand up. My conscience does not allow me to watch my compatriots degenerate to the end.
"
"Well, I can't tell how much of what you just said was sincere and how much you were trying to trick me into sympathy." Aaron nodded after hearing this, "As a politician, you are basically qualified. I have to admit my compassion.
I'm a little aroused by you."
"Kong Yuzhang, could you please tell me your name?" The man stood up and stretched out his hand to Aaron.
"Chen Long." Aaron announced his name generously.
"I've never heard of a name." Kong Yuzhang shook his head and sat back in his chair, "The photo you brought is indeed one of the few clues I have. In this situation, if they know that I have a daughter around the world,
If I work as a researcher in the largest terminal giant company, my reputation in their eyes will plummet. From now on, no one will be willing to listen to my call. Everyone will regard me as a spy sent by the government and the company."
"So, do you agree to cooperate with me?" The other party said so politely, which made Aaron feel a little uncomfortable.
"It depends on what you want me to do." However, Kong Yuzhang is not the kind of person who is completely unprincipled. "If your request is worse than the consequences of exposing my identity, I advise you not to talk."
"Don't worry, it's not a particularly bad multiple-choice question. Why don't you say that the biggest benefit after we work together to solve this matter should be you." Aaron first gave the other party a reassurance.
"If one day someone sends a blackmail letter asking to help you, will you believe it?" Kong Yuzhang said sarcastically.
"At least I'll let him finish his sentence." Aaron shrugged, "Someone is planning to create a terrorist attack in District 9. I wonder if Mr. Kong has heard about it?"
"Is this the case?" Kong Yuzhang's brows moved slightly.
"It's absolutely true. My information channels indicate that a batch of high-energy explosives may have been smuggled into District 9. The next question is where these dangerous gadgets will be used." Aaron's words were somewhat alarmist.
.
"If the purpose is to incite hatred between us and the indigenous people, there is a high probability that they will choose a large-scale rally on my side. Dozens of lives are enough to make the already emotionally unstable public completely lose their minds. Even I won't be able to do that by then.
It may prevent the urge to retaliate with blood. Not to mention that I personally may be the most conspicuous one among the assassination targets. After blowing me up, I will become a symbol of inciting revenge. The person who secretly planned all this only needs to be on stage.
Just shout a few slogans." Kong Yuzhang calmly analyzed the situation given by Aaron.
"What a coincidence, Yu Wanzhi thought the same way." Aaron said with a smile.
"This shows that they still have basic judgment." Kong Yuzhang seemed to have a low opinion of the aboriginal people in District 9, "But you are not one of their people, and they don't know much about me. Even if they have this photo in their hands, they are afraid
Being taken as a signal to declare war, which side are you on?"
"The military, the police, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Intelligence Management Bureau, in short, it is an unlucky guy introduced by everyone in this city who does not want the situation in District 9 to get worse. By the way, my personal identity is currently just a private person.
Detective, everyone seems to be embarrassed to see you directly." Aaron rolled his eyes and did not fully follow the explanation and claimed that he was from the Emergency Situation Department.
"Oh, we prosthetic implanters really stink on the street. Everyone covers their noses and avoids it." Aaron's vague response had the effect of standing out from the crowd. Kong Yuzhang just smiled bitterly and did not question him.
Answer.
"No matter how much I dislike you in my heart, you still exist here objectively. It's impossible to just leave it alone." Aaron, who had passed the test, continued to state the pros and cons of the situation, "I don't need to say what kind of situation it will turn into if the government intervenes now. Do your best.
It won’t do any good. In the end, if something bad happens, I don’t know how many unlucky people will be taken advantage of to get punished. It’s better to just reveal the news to you and digest it yourself, and throw away the responsibility as far as possible.”
"Haha, it sounds like we can handle it properly if you tell us the news." Kong Yuzhang laughed dryly, "If we had the ability to unite and mobilize, would we be where we are today? Now we rely on Lian Meng to lead us.
It is the limit of my ability to trick the people who have been driven in together so that they do not cause trouble everywhere. It is difficult for others to distract themselves from this fact. The other people who work for me are either incompetent or not loyal enough. I am not willing to hand things over.
It doesn’t give them much confidence to solve the problem.”
"Have you never thought about cooperating with Yu Wanzhi?" Aaron asked.
"If we can deal with the terrorist attacks beautifully, there may be opportunities for cooperation in the future. As for now? Don't even dream about it." Kong Yuzhang's tone was very sure, and it sounded like he had no intention of trying in this regard.
"Then what about cooperating with me?" Aaron was silent for a moment and asked again.
"You can choose for yourself. Do you want people who are reliable but incompetent, or people who are capable but unreliable? If you choose the latter, I suggest you not to let them act together with Yu Wanzhi's people or soldiers and police. It is difficult.
Make sure they won't spread gossip when they come back." Kong Yuzhang gave Aaron two choices.
