Chapter 26 President

"Bruno, I'll work for you when the official start."

Qianyu was lying on the sofa with a bottle of wine in her arms. In front of her was a tall square-faced man in his 40s. He was a base facility maintenance worker and the owner of a leisure bar at night.

In the past, when Qianyu was a student, she often came here to do homework and eat something. She was a frequent visitor here. Over time, Bruno and Qianyu became friends who talked about everything.

"You are drunk, Xiaoyu, don't drink, otherwise you will not be able to bear it tomorrow."

It was already past 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and people were still protesting and demanding that Bernard cancel such a ridiculous practice.

Supporters and opponents have been separated. Opponents are in front of the parliament building, while supporters have gone to the back because the change has begun. The parliament has summoned some supporters and assigned them relevant tasks.

Everything will go so fast, it seems to be premeditated. What makes Qianyu feel uncomfortable is that Lloyd, the captain of the guard, is actually Bernard's side.

Including some colleagues with whom Qianyu had a good relationship in the past, only herself and Gabe were kept in the dark. Qianyu was very angry about their behavior, but now she could do nothing about it.

"Didn't you say it before? This system has come to an end, it's just a matter of sooner or later."

Although Qianyu was a little drunk, her mind was still clear.

"Now it's not a matter of sooner or later, but a matter of what those bastards are going to do!"

"Don't think about it, no matter what this place becomes, we can only try to accept it, not complain, because we don't know when, the voices of dissatisfaction with the existing system have already begun to gather, it's only a matter of time."

Qianyu knew what Bruno said, but it was hard to accept it because there was no sign.

"Are you really not going to go back? I think if you were in the political system, you could at least do something."

Qianyu shook his head.

"If I go back, won't I become the kind of person I hate the most? Sorry, I can't be Bruno, I'm the kind of woman with a stubborn head!"

Bruno smiled knowingly and walked over. He certainly knew that Qianyu hated those who curry favor with the powerful, and this change was made without her knowing. As the secretary of the base director, Qianyu would never cooperate with someone who betrayed her.

2:03 pm

Bernard stood quietly on the balcony outside the base director's office, looking at the crowd still demonstrating below, but the weather was hot at this time, and the crowd dispersed.

We have received accurate news that the opponents are instigating everyone to strike, but Bernard had expected such a thing early on. Those supporters can fully cope with the operation of the base, and there will be no problem for one or two months.

"Just start with the supporters. After a week, we will issue a time limit. If they are still opponents, the amount of money they will receive will be reduced by half after the social structure is officially closed, and their basic salary in the future will also be reduced by 20%. Set a deadline and calculate it according to the output value lost during their opposition."

"I see, Mr. Bernard, I will draft it right away."

Bernard glanced at Shirley, who had turned around and walked to the side desk and started working.

"In fact, it will be done in a few days, Shirley!"

Shirley did not answer, but started to work. Bernard knew that this girl still had resentment and hatred for the past in her heart. Shirley was once a second-class citizen.

Not every Mars base is as beautiful as Mars Base No. 66. In a Mars base, if you dare to defy the system of the base, you will generally be expelled, because the system of each Mars base is different.

Once you become a second-class citizen in another Mars base, life is very difficult, and you can only become a tool of slavery and venting for others.

The invisible darkness had already eroded the original beauty, but the darkness had not yet covered the 66th base full of light and hope, so Bernal decisively launched a reform.

In Bernal's view, most of the citizens of the Mars base have basically become slaves of power, and power can get everything they need.

Shirley was a sweet gift from the local base chief when Bernal visited the 18th Mars base. It seemed to be a gift that had been prepared long ago, so it had not been opened yet.

Bernal knew very well what the other party wanted. Bernal had received countless gifts, but he did not open this one. The gifts in the past were all to please him as much as possible, but this gift alone contained the fangs of resistance at the beginning.

So Bernal accepted the gift and brought her back. The result was correct. The girl transformed in a very short time and became one of his few confidants.

The turmoil should last for quite a long time. Bernal estimated that it would last at least until mid-August. One and a half months was the limit for the opponents.

Any explanation or cover-up is pale and powerless. Bernal knows better than anyone that explaining this kind of thing once is enough. Whether you agree or not, it is powerless to continue explaining it.

The question now is when the turmoil in other Mars bases will end, and the Visitor should have known the situation by now. During lunch, people from several bases sent contacts, hoping that Bernal would personally come forward to solve the problem.

It was necessary to not allow the Visitor to return, so Bernal made an immediate decision and asked the bases to place all the family members of the Visitor's crew members under house arrest. Bernard would contact them personally tomorrow and ask them to complete the mission.

When people are suddenly oppressed, they will definitely resist, but resistance will slowly disappear again as the oppression begins to subtly enter life.

"It's just that it doesn't matter anymore. After all, my wish for many years has come true."

Bernal showed a happy smile.

Didi didi

The phone rang, and Bernal picked up the phone. It was the director of Base 67 calling.

"Congratulations, Mr. President, we have unanimously approved that you will be the president of the United States of Mars."

The result was obvious. After talking to the person on the phone for a while, Bernal started laughing.

"Stop everything as soon as possible. An unprecedented new society is waiting for us."

After finishing speaking, Bernal hung up the phone, pressed his hands on the guardrail, and looked down at the scattered people. He closed his eyes, as if he was enjoying something, and raised the corners of his mouth again.

"Congratulations, Mr. Bernal!"

Behind him, Shirley smiled happily. Bernal did not look back. Not planning to look back was probably the most correct decision he made in his life.
