Chapter 9 Split

"I think there is no need to continue the discussion. It would be better for us to gather 11 people to vote after the election."

A middle-aged man with long hair stood up as he spoke. Gable, who was sitting at the top of the long table, nodded with a serious expression. The other seven people were not going to say anything else.

People got up and left one after another. Gable still lowered his head, looking at some information on a panel. In the end, only the long-haired middle-aged man who had just spoken was left in the conference room. He had waist-long hair and looked like The appearance is somewhat handsome, but there is a calmness on his cheeks.

"Old Man Gable, what are you going to do?"

The man's name is Bernal. He is just 40 this year. He is one of Gable's strong supporters. The reason why he supports Gable is just because Gable was his former class teacher. For most of the decisions of Base 66, Bernal I have always been opposed to it in some places.

On the contrary, Bernal is very optimistic about the monetary policy of the younger Ike, because he feels that everyone is lying, especially for those who have put in many times the effort, their own high-quality output is different from the low-quality output of others. Output should not be equated.

Food and clothing are a thing of the past, and this is how human beings view it. Once food and clothing are solved, problems will follow, and more other desires will arise.

"Hypocrisy is human nature, old man Gable, don't blame me for not reminding you, if you don't use your privileges, this matter will not be solved so easily. Your term will not end until September next year, and there are still many Take a long time to think clearly about what is important!”

"Has the ideal reached the end point?"

Gable said with a bitter smile. Bernal walked to him and turned his back to him, sat on the table, folded his hands and laughed.

"The birth rate has increased again this year. It is certain that the citizens in Mars Base 66 are living a relatively happy life, but it is not an option to continue like this. What should we, as rulers, do? Be the leader? That's not right!"

Bernal said, squinting at Gable, who always had a serious expression.

"What we should do is to move forward, first to a higher place, and then tell the people what is on the other side. If things continue to be peaceful like this, one day, this society will eventually collapse. Utopia-style society is everywhere. It’s full of laughter, people live in peace, help each other, and live a simple life, but it can’t go on like this.”

Gable didn't intend to answer Bernal's words. This congressman has always been at odds with him, and has been like this for so many years.

"Think about it carefully. This kind of society where the quality cannot determine the future will one day be eliminated by itself. Take this opportunity to drive away those opponents. I know that everything you have done over the years has indeed made us 66 The base has become a dreamland, but it’s enough. If we continue, we will reach the end!”

Gable looked at Bernal.

"Is there really nothing we can do?"

"There is only one way to make the output of all walks of life have value. Human beings need a sense of identity, and if everything they do does not have corresponding value, what is left will be nothingness and mist. Not everyone can As a selfless old man like you, Gable, think carefully and use your privileges to get Ike out of prison now. Before the situation continues to escalate, you only need to make a speech and promise to find out! Just the one who framed Ike, your words carry a lot of weight here.”

Bernal looked at Gable anxiously.

"If you can't find the culprit, just find a culprit."

"Let me think about it again."

Gable said that he had never agreed to Bernal's use of his privileges. At today's meeting, the remaining eight congressmen all hoped that Gable would use his privileges to pardon his son.

Bernal knows that some guys just want to see Gable's reputation fall quickly. The current parliament is not as united as it used to be, because the status of Mars Base 66 among the 70 bases has already stood The highest point.

Rights can be very tempting at certain times. Bernal has been on his way to other Mars bases for the whole year. Now, no matter which Mars base they go to, they will receive extremely warm hospitality. The combination of women and wine Throughout the year, Bernal had tasted so much that he didn't want to try it again.

Everyone is desperately trying to please the council members of Mars Base 66 because they can get real benefits from them. This flattery has begun to split Mars Base 66 bit by bit over the years.

Because everyone has their own weighing of pros and cons, including Bernal, the issue of exchange assistance to other Mars bases has always been a point of debate for everyone.

While monetary policy may exacerbate this division, it could also accelerate the development of a Mars base.

The formation of classes is inevitable. Some people do not want Gable to continue to serve as base director, while Bernal hopes that Gable will continue to serve as base director.

"I don't want to see you retreat from here, Old Man Gable. That's all I'm saying. Whether you like it or not, I will do something. I definitely don't intend to hand over the position of base commander to someone with ulterior motives. Otherwise, it would be better for you to sit in this seat until you die!"

"Brat!"

Gable stared blankly, and Bernal walked to the door and waved.

"There's nothing wrong with sticking to your ideals and justice, but sometimes, if you hold on to them, you'll die. Make a decision as soon as possible before the situation gets worse. Once you enter the trial stage, even if you find something later, "they" will always remember it and won't even choose to believe the so-called "truth". More people are more willing to see the initial color than the truth!"

"I.........will consider it!"

In the empty conference room, Gabe thought quietly for a long time before getting up. It was already 4:38 in the afternoon.

Qianyu hadn't come back yet. Gabe really wanted to know the difference between the information sent from the guard team. He returned to the office and planned to wait for Qianyu to come back.

At this time, Gabe's mind kept emerging with everything 30 years ago. At that time, humans could only live in the iron shell on the surface of Mars. Everyone was full of enthusiasm and ideals. In the end, under the enthusiasm and ideals of everyone, the ecosystem was established.

"It was really happy back then!"

After a while, Gabe spoke. At this time, the door of the office opened and Qianyu walked in.

"The situation is not good. There is evidence of an attack, and something sent by someone from Base 51 was found in Ike's house."

Gabe looked at Qianyu with some difficulty in speaking.

"Really!"
