Chapter 449 The Great Elder and the President

The Pacific Ocean was not peaceful that night. The sky above Mande Island, the headquarters of Nian Neng Temple, was full of wind and rain, lightning and thunder. green novel

The thick dark clouds looked dark and low-pressure, as if the whole sky had fallen down, and the continuous lightning lit up the rough sea, and the deafening sound of wind, rain, thunder, and waves was all around. Together, these sounds form a symphony of nature's wrath, so vast and majestic that it is unrivaled at first glance.

On the surface of the sea, a storm swept in with a shower of rain, rolling up a ten-meter-high wave, and took a heavy shot on the cliff on the edge of Mande Island. There is a temple-like building on the top of the cliff, which is a series of temples on the mountain road. Among the buildings, the one with the highest terrain.

A middle-aged man wearing a white monk's uniform slowly walked out from the temple, and walked to the terrace step by step alone. He looked about fifty years old in appearance, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a full face. With a beard and long hair hanging behind his back, he looked quite elegant.

His clothes are not very gorgeous, but they are very neatly dressed. However, he just stood there lightly, as if man and nature were one, and what he was wearing had no effect on his image and temperament at all.

The torrential rain hit him and immediately bounced off. His whole body seemed to be covered with an invisible protective cover. No trace of rain could invade. Even the ground he walked on immediately became dry, and the rain quietly flowed to the surroundings. Backing away, like showing respect to a middle-aged man, seemed extremely submissive.

The middle-aged man stood on the edge of the terrace and looked up at the sky.

Suddenly, the storm stopped, the wind stopped, and the raindrops stopped increasing. Instead, the dark clouds began to roll violently, as if being stirred by a pair of giant hands.

"drink!"

It was as if a giant roar burst out from the giant's mouth, covering the sound of lightning and thunder all at once, and the entire cloud layer seemed to be blown away towards the high sky suddenly, as if being subjected to an unrivaled repulsion force!

After a while, the clouds and rain dispersed, revealing a clear starry sky. The bright moonlight accompanied by dots of starlight shone down, illuminating the tranquil sea surface. It was unbelievable that there was a storm here not long ago!

The middle-aged man stared at the depths of the starry sky, as if thinking about something, after a long time, he said softly: "It's time!"

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps below the terrace, and the middle-aged man withdrew his gaze and looked down.

A psychic came to the bottom of the terrace, bowed, and reported to the middle-aged man: "Master Kongli, the battle of Saturn is over and our side has won. Weng Shale will leave after a short battle and retreat to the orbit of Uranus."

"I see."

The middle-aged man was none other than Kong Li, the Great Elder of Nianneng Temple. After he waved his hand to make the Nianneng priest retreat, his figure gradually disappeared into the void.

Thousands of miles away, the office of the United Earth Government, in the government building in the center of Union Island in the Atlantic Ocean, this term's President Kinseller is sitting in a small conference room, listening to the national defense with several of his staff. Minister Marshal Duncan's opinion on the Battle of Saturn.

"Saturn was easy to win, and the loss of the fleet's main force was extremely slight. We can continue to attack instead of waiting for Saturn to rest!"

Marshal Duncan is already old, and he hasn't had a good rest these days, so his voice is a little hoarse, but he may still make a more majestic voice, trying to show his confidence.

"What is Marshal Needham's opinion on continuing the offensive?"

Kinseller asked in a calm voice.

The great president is less than fifty years old, with gray and thinning hair, a very strict demeanor, and sharp eyes, giving people a convincing feeling.

Before he entered politics, he was an authority on genetics and microbiology. He had published dozens of important academic articles and had an outstanding reputation. Several treatments invented and improved by him saved tens of thousands of patients. The disease, considered terminally ill, was conquered in his hands.

After he turned to politics at the age of forty, he showed excellent political skills. Both the upper class and the lower class people have a good reputation. Within a few years, he rose from a politician to the position of governor of North America.

Afterwards, the previous government collapsed due to corruption, incompetence, and Yang Ying. Kinseller seized this opportunity and persuaded many voters to vote for him with a tough and intelligent image. Aspired to the position of President.

It is worth mentioning that he has a very good personal relationship with Needham. This is a well-known fact. During the general election, he played the banner. Once he is elected, he will fully support Needham, regain the lost land in the outer solar system, and The ancient legion drove out of the solar system. And Needham also expressed his support in many public occasions in support of his election.

In fact, this move brought a lot of votes to Kinseller. Several of his opponents in the general election came from political families with a lot of resources at their disposal. Their families had already accumulated tens of hundreds of years of reputation. That fame alone brought them many votes.

However, when the Earth Army's front lines were retreating steadily, Needham's reputation was more useful, and the people consciously chose a president who was beneficial to the war, so Kim Sailor became President Sailor.

Duncan frowned slightly when President Sailor asked Joseph Needham, and a trace of displeasure flashed deep in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up and said, "Marshal Needham believes that to regain the Double King Star defense line, an unprecedented wave must be launched. Offensive, and we are not yet ready for this level, he wants Saturn to rest for a while, and at least ten main fleets can be assembled before he can do it. And he also specifically stated that all six first-line main fleets must be deployed!"

"In this way, it will create a emptiness in the inner solar system." A presidential aide said worriedly.

Duncan nodded, and said to the staff member: "You are quite right. It is too dangerous to leave an empty inner solar system with a large force on an expedition. I personally object to this!"

President Sailor rubbed his chin lightly, and said again: "What did Marshal Needham say exactly? He should have said the reason why so many troops are needed."

Duncan was silent for a moment, as if trying to organize his words, and then said: "He said that it is precisely because of the expedition of Lao Shi that he must take down the defense line of the Double Kings in one go. It is the supply pressure that can drag us down, he said that he needs at least ten fleets to exert enough attack power on the double star defense line, so as to quickly recover the double king star defense line."

The reason why President Sailor sat here and listened to Duncan's report instead of directly contacting Needham at the front line was because Saturn was very far away from the earth, and it took two hours for the signal to come and go, which means that it took two hours to get a sentence. Reply, this level of delay is enough to overwhelm any patient person, so direct conversation is not practical.

"I think what Marshal Needham said is very reasonable. The Earth Army Headquarters should think of a way and come up with a plan to use a small number of troops to guard the inner solar system. It may meet the requirements of Marshal Needham."

After President Sailor finished speaking, he gave a sign to the staff around him, indicating that the conversation was over, and he packed up his things and left.

When they get up and go out.

"Please wait a moment, Your Excellency the President!" Duncan walked like flying, blocking the door of the conference room.

"What's the matter, Your Excellency the Secretary of Defense?" President Sailor stopped in his tracks.

"I understand that Your Excellency the President and Joseph Needham have a good personal relationship, but a personal relationship is a personal relationship. Since you chose me as the Minister of Defense instead of Needham, I hope you can listen to my opinion more, otherwise... I am afraid you can only find another Someone is going to be Secretary of Defense."

Duncan moved closer to the president, and his voice became low, as if there was a faint threat, just like the threat a tiger would make to an enemy that invaded its territory.

Duncan thinks that he has gone through several governments, and it is not too early to retire now~www.wuxiaspot.com~ What he cannot tolerate is that Joseph Needham, a backward junior, actually rides on top of him. From the very beginning, Needham was disliked.

Maybe it's because of the incompatibility of their personalities, he can't rub the sand in his eyes, while Needham is loose, and he is too relaxed in dealing with others; maybe it's because of jealousy, he worked hard and worked hard to rise to the high position of marshal, while Needham had flashes of inspiration several times, After a big victory, he followed up. It may even be impossible to explain with logic at all. If it is not pleasing to the eye, it is not pleasing to the eye, and there is no need for a reason.

"Hahaha…"

Seeing Duncan's threatening expression, Kinseller was not angry, instead he laughed, patted Duncan on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I understand, I was wrong, I just pretended I didn't hear about finding another Minister of Defense." Well, there will be time to rely on the old marshal in the future." As he spoke, he passed Duncan and walked towards the president's office.

Back in the President's Office, Kinseller asked all his staff to retreat, and stayed alone in the office to review various documents. Suddenly, he felt his eyes dimmed. He raised his head, and saw a figure in white monk clothes suddenly appearing in front of him. Great Elder of Nianneng Temple!

"Master Kongli?" Jin Saile frowned and said in surprise, "Why are you here?" He suddenly covered his mouth and looked out the door.

"Don't worry, I have controlled all the voices here, and there will be no trace left outside. Others will not know that I have met you. As for the Secret Service agents around you, they can't see me." Master Kong Li sat down. Go to the sofa at the side, "Some things are not safe to communicate with, so I will come directly to you and have a face-to-face conversation."

"I've been looking forward to this day for a long time." Kinseller's lips curled up slightly, "Since you came to me directly, is it because that time has come?"

"Yes…"
