Chapter 1722 Elites are not necessarily good people
The state of mind between what others give and what one strives for, and what one obtains in different names, are completely opposite.
People in the last days have suffered enough, but they did not suffer from childhood. When they have the ability to live with dignity through their own labor, they will not easily bow their heads for a little favor.
Especially when the citizens of Boise had just won a miraculous victory and their morale was high, they were even more unwilling to accept worthless charity. The church also regarded the people in the city as refugees who had been abused and suffered crimes. This
It's even more unpleasant.
And when Zhou Qingfeng called the people in the city 'heroes' and 'warriors', the feeling immediately changed. Who doesn't like to be flattered, and this flattery is just right. This flattery was provided by the noble Aurora Legion.
The long shot is even more satisfying.
The United States has an electoral culture, and high-level figures like to show off everywhere and do things that are close to the people. This is very different from flower growers. More and more people at the scene saw Zhou Qingfeng, and they all came up to shake hands and express their gratitude. This is a way to mingle with the bottom.
His affinity made Rachel feel inferior to him.
When more and more people came to receive food, when everyone accepted the food with smiles, and when the charity relief turned into a celebration party, Rachel knew that she had definitely lost the bet. The wife wanted to cheat, and she felt that she
I was completely fooled by this bad boy, and I was very angry.
But speaking from the inside, Rachel could tell the difference between herself and Zhou Qingfeng. Zhou Qingfeng not only distributed the food, but also made the residents who received the food happy and happy, and also got closer to each other. This was better than Gao Qingfeng.
The charity is much better.
Zhou Qingfeng was surrounded by enthusiastic city residents. He shook hands, hugged, and gave blessings. Some people even burst into tears when they saw him. Some even knelt down and repented. They really regarded the legion commander as a saint--although Zhou Qingfeng had always
I take this title as a joke, but some people take it seriously.
For the first time, Rachel felt that her past charitable actions were too superficial. She just distributed some food and clothes to the bottom of society, and then turned around and left. As for whether those who received relief felt good or not, and whether they lived well afterward.
Well, she has no way of knowing, nor the ability to know.
Understanding this made the wife and mother very annoyed and frustrated. She found that the things she was trying hard to do and was proud of were only average.
This annoyance and frustration did not last long. When more and more citizens came to the carnival, Lord Franklin of the Freemasonry was alarmed. The president came to the celebration in person and came to join the people, but he appeared
Thousands of armed personnel were deployed to clear the area.
When the president came to the stage to speak, the joyful atmosphere at the scene was obviously much lighter.
After the public talk, President Franklin came specially to meet with Zhou Qingfeng. When the two shook hands, the president laughed and said: "I have always felt that the Legion Commander has a great influence in Boise, but today
Only then did I realize that it was bigger than I imagined, which really made me envious.”
Rachel was standing next to Zhou Qingfeng. When she heard this, she immediately observed the faces of the two men in front of her. They were all laughing and laughing, as if chatting casually and complimenting each other, but Rachel felt that the president was obviously dissatisfied.
mood.
"It's an honor for me to be loved by the people of Boise." Zhou Qingfeng casually dismissed the other party's hidden words.
But Franklin obviously wanted to talk about this issue carefully, "Your Excellency, Master of the Legion, we welcome your investment within the Freemasonry. However, I still hope that the workers you hire can abide by the laws established by our Freemasonry."
Zhou Qingfeng pretended not to understand.
Franklin continued: "We will immediately introduce a series of legal provisions on weapons management, militia organizations and media control. These laws are all learned from you, the Corps Commander. For example, the civilian gun ban, I think it will have a great impact on social security.
benefit."
"Well, yes, yes, it is necessary to ban guns." Zhou Qingfeng nodded and said yes repeatedly. In Rachel's eyes, this always unruly boy was actually very obedient this time and answered all of Franklin's topics.
Okay, no objection at all.
Franklin was obviously very satisfied with Zhou Qingfeng's attitude. The two had a great conversation, and at the end they hugged and laughed, just like they had been friends for many years. This look of hypocrisy made Rachel nauseous.
The two big shots chatted for about ten minutes before Zhou Qingfeng and Rachel had to return to the hotel prepared by the Freemasonry for them to rest.
When the man and woman were in the same car, Zhou Qingfeng was still interested in talking about the 'bet' just now. However, Rachel did not pick up the topic at all and asked, "Don't you feel that you have been slighted?"
"What?"
"The Freemasons are wary and unfriendly to you. You have given them so many benefits, but the higher-ups here do not welcome you at all. I am curious, how could you give up your influence on the workers here so easily?"
Rachel's words made Zhou Qingfeng smile bitterly for a while, and the latter sighed and said: "The Brotherhood only welcomes my money, not my people. One of my subordinates named Wen Tianyu was detained by the Freemasons.
The charge is 'illegal organization of armed activities'."
Rachel frowned and exclaimed: "I seem to have heard of this name. Isn't he the hero who defended Boise this time? Without his organization and organization, this city would have been destroyed."
"So what if I'm a hero." Zhou Qingfeng was also helpless, "I'm here specifically to save people, what can I do if I don't compromise? The Freemasons really shot my men to death, so I can only watch. I still have to
I'm glad I have some chips in my hand, otherwise I would have to accept the lessons others have taught me."
Rachel also smiled bitterly, and then sighed: "You men have refreshed my understanding of power. A hero can actually become a prisoner in the blink of an eye. The elites of the Brotherhood spend all their wisdom on how to maintain their power.
This is really sad."
"I don't think it's pathetic. Elites are not necessarily good people, let alone people with high moral standards." Zhou Qingfeng himself felt unhappy, but he could only endure it. According to the reminder given by 'GOD', this is actually
This was the beginning of the intensification of conflicts between the Aurora Legion and various branches of the Brotherhood of Steel.
The struggle for power goes both ways.
Zhou Qingfeng has arranged a series of economic, cultural, and political erosions in North America. I originally thought that this kind of penetration would be a subtle process, but I didn't expect that this unexpected battle in Boise made things clear.
Is it okay to discover that a member of the Aurora Legion has the ability to mobilize tens of thousands of armed workers? There is no way to boil the frog in warm water.
Although the incident happened by chance, the ending was very happy. But as long as the leader of the Freemasonry is not a fool, he must set various restrictions to prevent this kind of thing from happening again. If Zhou Qingfeng doesn't want to fall out, he has to compromise.
.
"Elites are not necessarily good people, nor necessarily moral." Rachel repeated this sentence repeatedly, feeling that Zhou Qingfeng had said a simple and thorough truth that not everyone has thought through. "You are right, and you put it
I taught you once."
"So is there a reward?" Zhou Qingfeng asked with a cheeky smile, as if he had forgotten that he had just been insulted.
Rachel raised her neck slightly and snorted coldly, "Do you have to get a reward if you want it? That's ridiculous. Wait until you really become His Majesty the Emperor of the United States. You still have an empty reputation now."
