Chapter 989 (1/2)
In this world, the manor in the suburb of farakford, Germany.
A plain looking black car stopped in front of the driveway of the manor. Two big men in suits came to check the identity of the people in the car and took out the walkie talkie and whispered a few words. The sentry in front of the car slowly opened to release the car with the German Chancellor.
”What's that flashlight they're holding?” Asked Petrie to the old man sitting next to him.
Although it looks like a flashlight, it doesn't shine at all.
”A tool for catching mice, especially invisible mice.” The old man chuckled and lifted up his sleeve to look at his watch. ”Master Carmen will wait for you in the study. If I have something to do later, I will not go up with you.”
Petrie gave a forced smile and did not answer.
As soon as he returned from Belgium, he raced to the Federal Parliament and spent a long time with a group of aggressive idiots. Unable to withstand the pressure, he had to force the dissolution of the meeting and asked Carmen Rothschild, his master behind the scenes, for help.
On the phone, Carmen didn't immediately tell him what to do. Instead, he asked him to come to the manor in Frankfurt.
After hanging up the phone, Petrie immediately told his assistant to cancel the whole day's schedule for him, and then rushed to here in a hurry.
”I'm almost driven crazy by the opposition parties now!” Petrie walked into Carmen's study with his head in his arms and left a transcript of the meeting on his desk. ”The Prussian United Party demands that Prussian region hold a referendum to separate itself from the German Federation. What's more, the ”Germanic forward trade union” demanded that I resign immediately, or else I would be impeached in the Federal Parliament -- ”
he did not come empty handed. The minutes of that meeting recorded in detail the objections and political demands of the opposition parties. If the differences between the parties, trade unions and the ruling party are not resolved, perhaps the German Federal Parliament may disintegrate itself before the process of European integration begins.
Carmen didn't intend to read the record at all. Instead, he leaned on the chair with his fingers crossed.
”Take it easy, my dear Mr. Petrie. We have an absolute advantage in Congress, and their impeachment will not succeed. ” With that, Carmen looked in the direction of his housekeeper, ”gram, go to the kitchen and tell him to prepare an extra set of cutlery on the table tonight.”
Standing beside the old housekeeper nodded slightly and turned away from the study.
Seeing the irrelevant leave, Petrie took a chair, sat opposite Carmen, and began to complain to his old friend.
After getting along for so many years, he is very clear about the disposition of his ”old friend”. This rascal named Rothschild and Carmen doesn't hate that his subordinates complain about their work problems, as long as they don't fundamentally stand opposite to him
”But However, the voice of questioning is not only from the opposition party, but also from the inner part of our new choice party which asks me to make an explanation -- ”
” then you can explain it to them. ” Carmen said with a smile.
Petrie opened his mouth.
What I wanted to say was to slow down the process of EU integration and soften the opposition's attitude by boiling frogs in warm water. After all, the angry faces of them now have a tendency to make trouble if they don't agree with each other. From any point of view, it would be unwise and reckless to force the resolution into force.
Just look at this Mr. Carmen's attitude, he seems to have no intention of ”listening”.
”But it's impossible! You can never convince two people who don't want to be together to hold hands, just as no one can convince a German and a French to live under the same roof. Now the whole of Germany is against EU integration, and so is our allies. My chief of staff can write a good speech for me, but even if I have a good tongue, I can't turn black into white in front of all the Germans. ”
