Chapter 1572 The High-Spirited President
The president saw that the fleet had just completed a supply from Qingchun City, so he simply waved his hand and said that everyone had been busy with him for two weeks and had worked hard, so they should have a good rest tonight.
He, Nishita, would cook for everyone and toast everyone in person to cheer them up.
Yu Lian, who was far away at the Lucky Front on the Far Shore, could prove that President Nishita's cooking skills were good. At least the level of barbecue was such that he would not starve to death even if he set up a stall in the square.
In addition, the president did learn cooking skills systematically afterwards. It was said that being able to cook was the best way to establish a good father and husband in the world, which could attract votes from housewives.
Although that was the case, there were at least tens of thousands of people in the fleet. Even if Mr. Nishita awakened his spiritual power and broke through the ninth ring at once, he would not be able to cook for so many people. But as long as he said this, the staff and security personnel were moved.
Even Yang Mingzhao admitted that the president was really generous to the people around him and could indeed be considered the best boss.
Although he was always forced to work 996, always had to help the president write official documents and speeches, and even had to act as a bodyguard, he was actually quite used to working under President Nishita.
"We can't expect all leaders to be the type of Marshal Li. To be sad, Mr. Keith Nishita is actually the most reliable head of state I have ever seen after Marshal Victoria Li. In fact, people like him are also the most suitable leaders for the community system." The person who said this was Marshal Alwin, who can be called a living fossil of the community, and the oldest and most experienced old man in the delegation. His current position is the military adviser to the president.
This old man has a deep experience and a wide network of contacts. He is an old friend of many veterans of the alliance. He is more suitable for diplomatic work than the current Minister of Military Command, Marshal Paris, and is naturally the best choice to accompany the visit.
"So, how does he compare with the commander-in-chief of the opposite alliance, Tatos?" Yang Mingzhao asked with interest.
"Captain Tatos? Haha, I'm not too familiar with him. Marshal Esko on the stage is my old friend. He is a decisive veteran, but if such a person becomes the leader of our community, it would be a disaster!"
The old marshal looked meaningful and vague. This kind of pretentious look is actually a bit annoying. However, the other party's qualifications are here after all, and he is already qualified to be a riddler.
"People who like banquets are either soldiers or pirates. In the war, Mr. President hopes to behave like a soldier, and I appreciate it." Marshal Alwin said.
The atmosphere of the banquet was of course free and easy.
At least from the expression of Mr. President, it is definitely more relaxed and happy than when he was treating guests in Clear Sky City and pretending to be the "leader of the Anti-Imperial Alliance".
He did not break his promise and really cooked a big pot of beef brisket stew himself. Of course, there was not enough for ordinary crew members, so they were all distributed to the engine department and damage control department of the Azure Princess. Even during the banquet, most of the staff of these two departments were still on duty, so they should be praised for their dedication to their work.
Then, President Nishita held a guitar and sang a song that no one had heard in the banquet hall, which attracted cheers from the audience.
As for the Blue Princess and the personnel on other escort ships, they also watched the performance live through the terminal live broadcast.
If only the people in the fleet are counted, the ratings of Mr. President's performance this time are definitely more than 90%, and this is when no one is forcing it.
To be honest, let's not talk about the performance level, Mr. President has indeed fulfilled his promise to "help everyone". What's more, everyone in the fleet said that President Nishita is good at singing and dancing, and his level is definitely not something that can be achieved by practicing for two and a half years.
"This is a new song, Mr. Qi wrote the lyrics and Mr. Klaus composed the music, so it can be called "Singing Turbulent Youth." President Nishita laughed and cast a meaningful glance in the direction of Yang Mingzhao.
I understand. Besides being in high spirits and wanting to "have fun with the people", the President really wanted to convey some meaning, but he just wouldn't say it directly.
There is no way, the Riddler is indeed the privilege of the leader! Yang Mingzhao had no choice but to lower his head and start thinking hard.
"I've heard of this song." Killian said, and then began to explain:
"It's the Chairman, um, Uncle Shidang Shijue..."
"When working, you have to call your position." Yang Mingzhao reminded earnestly.
Aren't we having a dinner party now? Is it considered work? Although Killian thought so, he immediately changed his words: "After Commander Yu won the Ten Battles in the Far Shore Nebula, Mr. Qi and Mr. Klaus created such a song, saying that it was to commemorate the glorious triumph of the Far Shore Nebula. In the end, it became an ode dedicated to all young people. It was only a week after the finalization, and the title was decided by Uncle Xiaoshi. It was planned to be sung by the Ice Puff Band and Miss Selina Mao, but there was no time to record a demo."
"...I see. But how did you know this?"
Killian explained: "Before leaving, I took half a day off and went to the Red Star Headquarters in Coral City to get spare blades. I met Mr. Tamir and heard it from him."
Yang Mingzhao suddenly realized it. He seemed to understand something and smiled: "Mr. President is also a well-informed person."
Killian looked at the senior brother in confusion. He could feel that the other party's emotions were a bit complicated, as if he was expressing respect for President Nishita, but there was also a little bit of subtle irony.
Yang Mingzhao then laughed in admiration: "The president has learned to sing a new song that was written less than a week ago, which shows that he is really talented. If he didn't go into politics, he might have become an excellent singer."
Killian said: "He also said that if he didn't go into politics, he would have become a top celestial athlete, and might have won the Galaxy Cup on behalf of the Earth."
"This is the employment choice of the national elite! Admirable."
After the excitement of the three rounds of wine and five flavors of food ended, it was already after 22:00 on the 13th, standard time.
Most of the crew and security team returned to their posts, and even Mrs. Melalie Nishita, a psychic, returned to the room to rest - this president's wife, who was born in a famous family, is a very self-disciplined person, and has always believed in the theory that sleeping will make you whiter.
To put it bluntly, it is necessary to get enough sleep to slow down aging, maintain good health and keep a happy spirit. You can't do whatever you want just because you are a psychic, or in other words, the more psychic you are, the more self-discipline you need.
This theory may still make sense.
Anyway, Mrs. Nishita's beauty concept is very recognized. She has sold more than 10 million copies of her own beauty manuals, second only to her own parenting and husband training manuals, which are much better than her own folklore research works.
After Mrs. Melalie Nishita left, several other bigwigs in the delegation, such as the Chairman of the National Shipping Committee, Pirode, the Minister of Finance, Donovan, etc., all looked exhausted and said goodbye to rest.
On the contrary, the oldest special military adviser to the Presidential Palace, the former Minister of Military Command, Marshal Erwin, did not go back to rest, but began a routine security inspection.
In theory, the retired old marshal no longer has any management authority, but all military personnel in the fleet are willing to obey his orders, and his priority may be second only to the president.
As for President Keith Nishita, he stayed in the luxurious salon of the Blue Star Princess, smoking cigars and drinking some wine, and chatting with everyone on duty.
In fact, all middle-aged men actually enjoy this process of bragging without considering anything, and President Nishita is no exception. What's more, the people present are all his bodyguards and secretaries. Everyone speaks well and is better at listening. The president likes this feeling very much.
Everyone talked about the current war, the past independence war, and the imperial rule from Marshal Li's student days, and then talked about the gossip of Emperor Ivenna.
This group of alliance elites soon talked about the erotic story of the Queen's 88th Kaitai lover.
So, the president took out the star card again with great interest, and pulled everyone to chat and play.
Well, this is the leader preparing to play all night, and as a direct subordinate, you can only risk your life to accompany him. However, everyone's resistance is not great. Mr. President is actually a very self-disciplined person. His daily life is very regular. He is rarely as excited as today.
We all know that the more regular the life and work schedule is, the less trouble the staff around him will have.
Such people are occasionally willful, and everyone can accept it.
President Nishita has always liked the Star Card game from the Alliance.
And the skills are very good. It is said that the skills were trained in college. According to him, if he had not been pulled away by the Tianqiu Club, he would definitely go to the Star Card Club at that time, and maybe he could become a professional card player.
Now, Nishita still maintains this hobby. According to him, people who can play Star Card well must have the talent of strategists. If he had joined the army, he might have become a general now.
Yang Mingzhao doesn't think there is any connection between playing cards and strategy. He himself is also a Go master, but he doesn't think he has any talent for command.
He just thinks that the president's career choice back then is really enough to drive people with choice difficulties to death, but he also admits that the latter's card skills are indeed very strong. Over the past two years, whether it was one-on-one, 2-on-2 or more eight-player games, whether it was pure entertainment or with a bit of gambling, the winning rate has remained above 70%.
However, something seemed to be wrong tonight. The overly excited President lost his level and made several low-level mistakes. After a few rounds, he lost half of the games against the rookie team composed of Killian Shazabi and Colonel Lars Bohm, deputy director of the Security Department.
The unbelieving President said that it must be because his teammates were too stupid, and he said he wanted to play one-on-one with Killian. As for why it was Killian instead of Colonel Bohm, it was naturally because the former had a very smart face and looked very powerful.
President Nishita is a war hero, and his opponent will only pick the real strong.
So, after five games, Nishita, who has been playing cards for 30 years, faced a beginner, only narrowly won one game, tied one game, but lost three games in a row.
Yang Mingzhao, who was watching the game nearby, was extremely anxious and kept winking at his junior apprentice, but the latter could only respond with a helpless expression.
After all, he was a novice, and it was too difficult for him to make a handicap.
In the end, President Nishita, who was always sunny, cheerful, tolerant and generous, had a livid face. He couldn't even talk about the multiplayer play story between Emperor Ivenya and her No. 108 to 114 lovers.
At this time, he didn't seem to have lost the game, but was impeached by the parliamentarians. Or, it was worse than impeachment, more like being investigated by the procuratorate.
Fortunately, he finally didn't forget his personality, and soon showed a free and easy smile again: "Ahaha, little Killian is actually a genius, didn't you realize that you have a talent in this area before?"
Killian still didn't understand how he won, but he still bit the bullet and accompanied Xiao Lai to answer: "Subordinate, subordinate is studying abroad in the Empire."
"Of course I remember, you are actually a top student at Saint Su Luo University. Oh, so that's it, Star Card originated from the Alliance, so the Empire doesn't play it."
"Indeed, Mr. President." Killian smiled and nodded.
His smile was a little stiff, and it was inexplicably sarcastic.
Of course, the Empire also has its own way of playing chess and cards, but the real rules are actually more complicated than Star Cards, which can show the elegance, dignity and limitation of the Empire's nobles. Killian felt that he might as well read a few more cutting-edge papers if he had this time.
"It was really during this trip that I followed my predecessors to figure out the rules of Star Cards. I am not familiar with the rules of the 8-person game yet." Killian pretended not to see the color of the senior brother and continued.
President Nishita laughed instead of being angry, patted Killian's shoulder, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and the whole person became sunny again: "Hahaha, this is the pattern of the Galactic Empire. How could our glorious community and our heroic people be conquered by such an existence?"
Mr. President has this kind of talent, always able to resolve all embarrassing situations, and even get excited.
"You, if you hadn't gone to study in the Empire, you might have become a professional athlete of Star Cards." President Nishita said again.
"But the medical school of the alliance does not provide scholarships for foreigners." Killian said helplessly.
"That's a pity. During this visit, I must have a good talk with the people in the alliance education sector." The president waved his hand with the spirit of "the head of the galaxy", stood up and said: "In short, I found a true genius in the star card world, which is really fruitful. Wow hahaha! That's all for today, everyone, good night."
After accepting the salute from his subordinates, the president left the luxurious salon with the help of two loyal personal servants. He stumbled as he left the main entrance.
Yang Mingzhao looked at the president's back, and for a moment he was full of sympathy. He looked at his little junior brother who had a natural black face, and felt that if he lost to this guy in Go, he might be hit harder than the president.
"So, don't we need to tell the president about the things on Nefei's side?" A middle-aged bureaucrat with extraordinary demeanor asked Yang Mingzhao. He looked at least ten years older than the latter, but his attitude was very respectful.
This gentleman's name is Heden. He is a director of the National Coordination and Confidentiality Bureau, that is, a member of the "National Coordination". His external identity is an information officer of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
What he is discussing with Yang Mingzhao now can only be the big event that just ended.
After all, the National Coordination is also an intelligence agency. Even if it is a loser, it has indeed received the situation of the Nephi Gem Coast.
In fact, in addition to the riots on the Gem Coast, the Azure Princess now knows the death of Mrs. Emeta Parrotin and even the gossip of the "fight" between the Extraordinary Administration and the Guerrilla Association.
If you don't understand intelligence analysis and summary, you must think that the streets of Nephi have already started a civil war.
However, Yang Mingzhao thinks that the fact that Guotong, a loser... such a not-too-sensitive intelligence structure, has received the news from there shows that everything is calm.
In the final analysis, everyone can doubt the intentions and motives of the Reasonable Alliance. Now there is more than one person in the community who feels that they have been regarded as abandoned by the alliance profiteers to fight against the empire and are in a state of heavy self-loathing.
However, their ability cannot be doubted. After all, it is one of the two poles of the world, so there are certainly ways to clean up the current mess.
Director Heden nodded: "The Gem Coast has indeed restored law and order, and our embassy staff have even started going out shopping. However, Ambassador Wilbart believes that within the next week, the Gem Coast's safety rating should be below B-level green."
