Chapter 947: Idol

Earth.

The floating island of Babylon passed slowly across the earth according to the set trajectory as always. The floating island cast a heavy shadow on the ground, like a lead cloud, passing by a small town on the side of a mountain. People in the small town stopped what they were doing, and several half-grown children even climbed to the top of the only bell tower in the town. A girl's skirt was caught by the tiles on the top of the tower and almost slipped, but a flaxen-haired boy managed to hold her back.

The flaxen-haired boy smiled: "Tris, girls, don't climb too high."

The malnourished and thin-looking girl said angrily, "Bob, you look down on me!"

The boy named Bob shrugged (pig) (pig) (island) (novel) www.zhu shoulders, pulled the girl up vigorously and said, "It's not that I look down on it, it's just..." The girl beside him, Cui Si, ignored him , looking at the slowly passing floating island in the sky like other children. Looking from the bottom, you can see the huge base below the floating island. The girl stretched out her hand to catch something, but all she caught with her five fingers was air.

Bob looked at her meaningfully and said: "If you climb too high, the wind will be strong. If the wind is too strong and your skirt is too short, it is inevitable that people will accidentally see something they shouldn't see."

Cui Si was still immersed in the magnificence of the floating island, and didn't react for a while. It took a few seconds before I heard the meaning of Bob's words, and immediately raised his foot and kicked the boy hard. Bob yelled and ran away, and the girl chased and killed him relentlessly. The other children had long been familiar with this scene, and watched the two play happily one by one.

Bob had better squeeze the girl on top of the tower, partly because he didn't want her to lose face in front of his peers, and partly because he liked it. Although Trish hasn't fully developed yet, her chest is already a little swollen, and it is also a pleasure to be pressed against her face with her young breasts like now. The girl noticed that the guy had been smirking all the time, and she blushed immediately. She realized that she had taken advantage of the bastard, and jumped away angrily.

Bob got up with a look of intoxication, which made Triss want to hit him with something. Bob waved his hand, looked at the floating island and said, "I heard it's very beautiful, there are a lot of delicious food, and there are many beautiful clothes to wear. It's just like a fairy tale."

Cui Si sighed: "So what, we can't go up anyway."

"Who said that!" Bob jumped up, waving his fists and said, "I want to participate in the next death ring, and if I win, I will take you there."

He slid his fingers across a group of companions, and finally stopped on Cui Si, and said with a smile: "When the time comes, Cui Si, will you marry me?"

Cui Si pouted a few times with her tongue out, then said with a sneer, "Stop daydreaming."

"No.

Bob said yearningly: "Haven't you heard of it?" This time our federation went to the star field battlefield, who won the first military exploits? It's Allen, who is of surface origin like us. It is to obtain the right of residence in Babylon by virtue of the death ring! "

"He's my idol." The boy added.

Triss and several companions shrugged, everyone knew that this guy took that legendary man as an idol. The champion of the death ring will be produced every time, but there is definitely only one Alan who has continued to make amazing moves over the years after becoming the champion. First, he won the death ring, and then he joined the veteran family of the floating island, Beth Kede, and later became a student of Marshal Greedy Wolf. Then it was reported that he had an ambiguous relationship with the Empress Ida Huaxing, and recently it became even more popular. In the list of military merits announced by the Federal Military Department, this Allen was at the top again, and he was listed as the number one military merit.

What a glorious experience it was.

Especially since he was born on the surface, he has become the idol that many teenagers like Bob yearn for, inspiring them to become the next Allen.

Trish sighed suddenly.

The children of Bob looked at her in confusion, and the girl showed a precocious side, sat down and said with a worried face: "I'm afraid Bob, you won't be able to wait for the next death ring. Don't forget, Star Domain The war on the battlefield is over, and God knows when the Federation and the Gate of Liberty will fight again. I heard that if it weren’t for the star field war, the Gate of Liberty would have occupied our town. My father said that the Federation and the Gate of Liberty The armies of our army faced off right behind our mountain, and there was almost a fight."

War, this is a topic that is particularly heavy for children. Perhaps for the noble people of the floating island, the war is far away, and their life has not changed much except that it is more complicated than before. But for people on the surface, war may break out at their doorstep in the next moment. With the smoke of gunpowder, people are bound to be displaced, and that is only the beginning of the suffering.

Civilians are always the biggest victims of war, and the irony is that it is not they who decide whether to go to war or not, but someone who is far away from war.

Just like now, in the White House cabinet far above the floating island, a fierce debate is unfolding, and the topic of the debate is the attitude towards the Gate of Freedom. The federal parliamentarians are still divided into two factions as usual, one for the war and one for the peace. Then there was an endless quarrel, and when it came to excitement, some congressmen even rushed to beat people. This is also a common occurrence in the parliamentary cabinet. Anyway, the floating island media is controlled by the Federation, so there is no need to worry about the scandal in the parliament being made public. So as soon as the MPs closed the door, they tore their skins. Often when everyone walks in to a conference, everyone is in suits and leather shoes, but when they come out, they may have bruised faces and swollen lips.

The meeting lasted for four full hours, and finally, under the decision of President Morbitt, a decision was finally made that took into account both factions, courtesy first and soldiers later.

two days later.

Horne was at the home of Chancellor of the Exchequer Alstair, watching as the White House spokesman, a diminutive official, announced the next steps for Liberty Gate in a media interview. After reading it, Horn laughed: "Urging the Gate of Freedom to conduct open negotiations on the occupation of the surface administrative area, it is not obvious that there will be a war."

Alstair smiled all over his face, and said, "Wouldn't it be a good thing for you old guy if there was a war? The equipment in your family factory can sell well again."

"Are you laughing at me too? Isn't it thanks to our President, who gave us all good things to Beth Keld, and now I don't know how many people are jealous and want to bite the flesh off us." Horn sneered : "It's only the three giants who have expressed their views at the end, and the others can't help barking."

"It must have been Alexander who barked the loudest in there."

"Main, old boy, I haven't settled with him for Eden's attack on Allen. If it weren't for the tricks played by His Excellency the President, I would have settled with Alexander by now, so I can't help but bark."

Alstair nodded and said: "That's right, you can move your whole body with one hair. Now you, Bethkind, have become a big piece of fat, the kind that is so fat. Although you are willing to divide this fat Going out a little, finally didn't let the water in the pool mix too much too fast, but after all, it is still in a sensitive period. At this time, if you take action against Maine, as long as you have a little bit of manipulation, it is inevitable that the water in the pool will get mixed up."

Horn looked at him with a smile and said, "Your Excellency, the Minister of Finance, are you not afraid that our president will take off your official hat if you say such a thing?"

"Not afraid, not afraid." Alstair waved his hand and said, "Without me, how many people do you think can help His Excellency President settle those bad debts? And I have a clear distinction between public and private, and we don't need to hide it because we are personal friends. If outsiders like to chew their tongues, let them chew their tongues, and I am not afraid of what people will say behind their backs. But if one day the president makes it clear that he wants to attack you, then you old Horn should stay away, and don't want to get any information from me. "

"You shameless thing." Horn cursed.

Then they both laughed.

Laughing and laughing, Alstair fell silent, sighed and said, "I don't know if I will have the chance to sit and chat with you like this in the future."

"Who knows." Horn said looking out the window.

Alstair said in a deep voice: "Haven't you considered retreating? I dare say that once the water in this pool gets mixed up, the first thing the president will kill is not the three big families, but you, Bethkind. I personally Next, I heard him casually mentioning that you, Bethkind, are developing too fast. He probably thinks that you are more of a threat than the three giants. Besides, between the old and new parties, although the president is neutral, don’t forget that he is originally a member of the military. Born, more or less inclined to Capulo of the old party. As for you, it is obvious that you are in the same spirit as the new party. Relatively speaking, the three giants are on the sidelines in the struggle between the two parties."

"Let me tell you more, and the rich family has a profound background. Even if the president wants to take them into action, he has to weigh them. As for Beth Keld, I'm afraid he hasn't given him much attention. Isn't that the case?"

Alstair snorted: "Since you've already thought about it, I don't need to say anything more. Anyway, while there is still time, old guy, it's time to plan your retreat. You are not afraid that your big tree will fall, Bei Si Kede has to dissipate. I think that little guy Alan hasn't grown up enough to carry the family, right?"

Horn thought of the grandson who had gone to Heaven Star, and there was something in his heart that he didn't say: he is already carrying it!

On this day, Horn didn't take his leave until dusk. Alstair personally sent him out of the house, and watched him get on the flying car and go away, but he still didn't return to the house for a long time. Because he knew that there would not be too many opportunities to meet this old friend in the future. Whether it's Alstair, the Minister of Finance, or another identity. And Alstair hopes that he can never use another identity to meet Horn.

Otherwise, the next meeting will not be chatting and drinking, but fighting each other with fists and knives.

The minister was full of melancholy, which finally turned into a long sigh. He turned back to the house, and his figure disappeared into the shadows in the house.
