Chapter two thousand and ninety-eight people turn their backs on personal thoughts
The purpose of human actions is mostly driven by interests, and even if it is an action that cannot be seen on the surface, it is often considered for the long-term gain.
At present, it is difficult for the secretary to see any interests. He forced Ultron and them to lose both sides, and then let Hydra pick up the advantage from the side. This is really not advisable.
"Is this really good? I mean, it seems that we cannot get any actual benefits except for the losses caused by both parties."
"That's because you didn't see it well enough, William."
As he said this, the official patted William on the shoulder hard.
"You only see the simplest layer, that is, the benefits that can be obtained by playing against each other on the chessboard. From this point of view, we are indeed thankless. Apart from letting the people standing on the side watch jokes, we don't get much benefits at all. But you have to know that in this world, there is a world other than the chessboard, and here is where we can get the most profit."
"The support of the people is the foundation of our politics. In the current situation, do you really think that everything we are working on can be seamless and no truth will be revealed? If you really think so, then look at me. Even those who are in my position will inevitably encounter such accidents in this series of accidents. Why do you have to make a promise? Those civilians who have not done any protection measures can be kept in the dark without exception? This is just self-deception."
"I did not have any considerations in this task at the beginning. Naturally, the pressure behind public opinion also needs to be borne by me. I have imagined many situations, William, and I have thought about all the ways to change the direction of public opinion. But now, I suddenly realized how immature and ridiculous everything I imagined in the past was. I overestimated myself and underestimated the seriousness of the situation."
"I never imagined that this kind of disaster would be so severe to a family. After all this happened to me, I realized that this is no longer something that can be solved by comfort and pension. If the government wants to control the fermentation of public opinion through this method, it is definitely a fool of lighting a cigarette next to the powder barrel. And if you don't want to be put on a slaughter with those idiots, then standing on the side of the people is our best choice."
This sounds hard to answer because the secretary can still feel the meaning of subverting the regime. He still thinks the officials' ideas are a bit too extreme, but from a certain perspective, he has to admit that what he said does make sense.
In the current situation, if the people really know that the monsters appearing around them are actually their relatives and friends, then they will definitely go crazy. If they know that these people still have their own consciousness even if they become monsters, then all the actions of the government will turn into the spearhead of their attacks.
Murder. Even he himself could not think of other better words to describe what the government is doing now. Although the government does have its own difficulties in doing so, they cannot allow these monsters to exist to destroy the fundamental stability and order of society. However, the people will not think so much. They will only see what is happening in front of them, and all this makes them feel the bone-broken cold and hatred.
This will create a huge contradiction, and as long as someone instigates it, it is very likely that a subversive revolution may begin.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the official in front of him. Perhaps he played such a role. If this is the case, then he would have to make a choice, should he follow it, or should he sell him according to his previous ideas?
From the perspective of a politician not making mistakes, selling him is the safest choice. However, politicians cannot always follow the rules, because not making mistakes often means that the benefits obtained cannot reach the highest level. Of course, if there is a gap of 3500, then of course it is better to be safe. However, if the gap here is one hundred and one million, even politicians who follow the rules will not be able to help but take advantage of it.
The secretary was now considering his own gains and losses to see if the benefits were worth it. He followed this risk. Of course, he could not speak directly, so at the moment of thinking, he turned the topic back.
"But I still don't quite understand. What does this have to do with targeting Ultron? If your purpose is to gain the support of the people, then you can also try to win Ultron's support. With him, plus public opinion, this is the most stable approach, right?"
Thinking from traditional concepts, the secretary did not think that Ultron was a stumbling block that he had to move away. Because his current identity is equivalent to that of a capitalist, and capital has always been an important part of this Western country.
The close intersection of the government and capital has been in the West for hundreds of years, and this has long formed a habit that will not change because the owner of the capital has changed his identity. In this case, he naturally thought of first to win over, rather than forcing an existence that controls the power of a huge consortium to the opposite of himself.
Because he knew too well that this kind of consortium could do. To put it bluntly, in the West, if you don’t support the consortium, it would not be a little difficult to do anything you want to come up with without consortiums. And if you simply stand on the opposite side of the capital consortium, it would be even more difficult to move forward.
He didn't believe that officials who have been an old politician for so many years would not understand this truth, so he really wanted to know what he was doing.
"Ultron? You're wrong. He is not our suitable partner. On the contrary, he is our enemy and the opponent we must defeat."
"I said that people's support is what we need. And if we want to win the hearts of the people, then in the current situation, we must point our finger at Ultron."
"No matter what he did to develop a ghost thing like a nanoguard, even if he really thought of it, he was kind to construct the future for mankind, as he said. But now, the things he created have been brewing with disasters, and under the truth, the people will not accept the pain they need to bear now because of a future that they cannot see at all."
"He may not be the culprit. It's not important. What's important is that the people need a way to vent, and when we can't find out the real mastermind behind the scenes, Ultron is the most suitable way that the people can spontaneously find. Identity is his biggest obstacle. And we can't say that they are going against the will of the people and forcefully cooperate with him. That will only bring us in, just like other bureaucrats in the government today. They are too deeply involved with Ultron, and this makes it impossible for them to break free from the whirlpool caused by the people."
"You are a smart person, William, you should know how big the difference is between going with the flow and going against the tide. Especially in politics, this difference will be fatal."
"Of course, I know. I'm just a little worried. Being an enemy of Ultron will greatly weaken the power in our hands. After all, we don't have many chips, right?"
"It is precisely because we don't have many chips in our hands that we have more reason to deal with Ultron and try our best to defeat him and conquer him!"
The secretary was interrupted by the worry, and the official waved his arms and said to him almost decisively.
"Do you think I don't know how many chips we have? William. I know better than you. It is because I know how many chips we have in our hands that I choose this almost risky move."
"The right to mobilize the army is only temporary. Once the supply is cut off, they are just a bunch of lambs to be slaughtered. The cooperation in the media is also limited. Once our intentions are exposed, the public opinion trend in the whole of Europe will change the next day, and the overwhelming information will become a criticism of us."
"The men sitting on it are not fools. Maybe they were forced to pick this peach out of not wanting to take this risk, but this does not mean that they will relax the rope and let a force that is not under their control do whatever they want to do. They always hold on to the rope circle and wait for us to break our necks when we do something wrong. And you said, what would happen if I didn't point my finger at Ultron first, but incite public opinion to deal with them directly?"
What will happen? There is no need to ask. If the secretary hadn't known the result of doing this, how could he have the kind of thought that only 25-year-olds would have? I really think that the relationship has been for so many years is worthless, and I really think that the career has been lost in so many years. If I hadn't seen any hope at all, who would have thought of betraying it?
He sighed in his heart, but on the surface he was still calm.
"Of course the result will be bad, but what does this have to do with your plan to deal with Ultron?"
"Doesn't it matter? Why do you think so? William, you have to know that dealing with Ultron is the key to getting rid of these shackles."
He patted the secretary's shoulder again, and the official said to him earnestly.
"You have to see the meaning of the forces behind Ultron. Once we take down Ultron, we not only have public support, but more importantly, we will also have resources that are unimaginable. Even if the forces of those consortiums cannot be used all for us, we can still get a big pie from them. With these, we can truly have the ability to get rid of the control of those old guys and the capital to clamor and confront them. Only in this way can we truly win the final victory, rather than becoming cannon fodder like you had imagined before!"
No one is a fool. When the secretary heard this, he guessed that his chief had already seen the little ones in his stomach. This made him feel a little ashamed. After all, the thoughts he had moved before were really unauthentic. However, there was nothing to blame for.
It is normal for politicians to keep themselves alone. If you want to find someone who is willing to share the joys and sorrows and fall into hell, you may have to go to hell. At this point, even officials themselves cannot do it. If they really encounter such a thing, they may not be able to sell themselves any more slowly. So he felt a little ashamed in his heart, and he said simply.
"Sorry, bss. I also want to consider the family behind me!"
"I know that you are the only one in your generation who can take on the main responsibilities. You should have such considerations, and I can understand."
Nodded, and the official forced a smile at this time.
"William, I'll talk to you too. You know my situation. Without Sam, the only one I can count on in my life is Jenna. She is a woman, it's not that I look down on women, and there are no women in European politics. But you also know Jenna's character. She is not the kind of child who can compete with others in politics. If she really puts her in that position, it will only harm him. So, in the end, you are the only one I can rely on."
"When you get married to Jenna, you will inherit everything from now on. And as a descendant of the Bonaparte family, have you never thought about one day regaining the glory of the ancestors in the past?"
Having said that, the secretary was already unable to control his mood.
The Bonaparte family, descendants of Napoleon, and the rulers of the whole France in the past. Born in such a family, it is impossible for them to say that they would not have the ambition to restore the glory of their ancestors. However, they also knew that in this social structure that emphasizes freedom and cooking, it was not so easy to restore the imperial power. Blindly doing things can only be said to completely destroy Bonaparte's blood. So they were just forbearing, using their family's background to delve into politics while waiting for opportunities.
Now, opportunities are already in front of them. As a member of the family, William naturally has no reason to refuse. But he cannot show too eagerness, so he just rubbed his hands and showed a embarrassed expression.
"Of course I thought about it. But Jenna doesn't seem to be willing to accept such an arrangement."
