Chapter 32 Wine is a character

Lorraine was the farthest federal state from Mondo, so Weiss advanced the trip one day. He did not spend all of his time studying the newspaper that published the brief description of the governors, but read it several times and wrote down the main information. The rest of the time was led by Li, a young man named Hargers, who visited the city of Mondo.

Before coming to this planet, Weiss had very few opportunities to travel. Because of his lack of money, he usually chose free or symbolic charges in cities he had never been to, such as various museums. In fact, in the first place when he first arrived in a city, in addition to intuitively understanding its overview and characteristics through its appearance, museums are undoubtedly a very suitable place to go. Mondo has three major museums, namely history, navigation and fish. They each have their own emphasis and characteristics. After all, they have a relatively complete understanding of the historical and cultural environment of this federal state and even the southeast of Ulster.

Hax is a tall and thin young man with a erotic writing. He introduced himself that he is a graduate of the philosophy department of Mondo University and a student brought by Li himself. He is now a staff member of the state government. At this meeting of the Governors, the relevant staff of the state government were mobilized to provide volunteer services while working normally. Being a guide to the Governors is one of these. The young man said that he was honored to be a guide for the legendary King of Lorraine's Guerrilla Warfare. Speaking of which, Weiss is about one or two years apart from him. However, his experience in war made him look much more calm and sophisticated in front of this young man. This is the different gains brought by different life experiences!

The Governors' Conference is essentially a exchange meeting between senior officials in various federal departments. According to custom, the president or ministerial tycoons are not invited to attend, but they usually send invitations to senior advisers or retired ministers in various departments of the federal government. In addition, top celebrities from all walks of life are also popular listeners and advisers, while Gunnivel is a "special guest" of the organizer. She is now a household name in the federal government, and the itinerary is naturally much more compact. On the afternoon of the second day after Weiss arrived in Mondo, she came late. It was coincidental that the two met in the hotel where they were staying and said hello. Weiss took the opportunity to ask her what her impression of Lee was. Gunnivel seemed not very enthusiastic about this topic, and even seemed a little tired of it. She said she had known each other before and had eaten several times.

"This is the case..." Weiss explained awkwardly, "I don't have a female companion. Uh, it's not that I really don't have a female companion, but I just can't make time recently, so... I'm here alone. Lee told me that we'd better have a female companion with a temporary partner, so you might have to choose someone between me and Lee as the temporary partner this time. There's no other meaning, just a temporary partner."

Guniville replied almost without thinking: "Choose you! I was still worried about this before I came, and I always felt a little upset to let me be a temporary partner with him."

"I don't understand." Weiss expressed his doubts, "He looks like a very stable and generous person, and I thought he would be a very ideal partner. For most young women, his conditions should be considered very good!"

Gunnieville smiled: "Maybe it's because my way of thinking is different from that of ordinary people!"

Speaking of this, Weiss knew that Gunnieville and Octwell were both from a wealthy family like the Grumman Group. They had seen everyone since they were young, so Li only gave his ordinary partners and the public alike. In the eyes of the insider, he not only had nothing special, but even as Gunnieville said, it was a bit annoying.

The welcome banquet that night was held in the hotel, with more than 100 attendees, including the governor, their wives or female companions, a few entourages, invited experts, celebrities and journalists. From any perspective, such a welcome banquet is completely different from the banquet where Weis and his party welcome Professor Xiao Yang and his party. Here, the wonderful dome paintings and exquisite murals, luxurious decorations show the grandeur and exquisite crystal chandeliers.

The marble floor that reflects the clean reflection of the figures, and the guests danced in the melody of court music in exquisitely textured and fashionable dresses. Fortunately, with Guneville, Weiss was not alone, but most of the time during the banquet, he was still alone, because Guneville's face was almost the popular target, and many people even brought her photos to ask for autographs. Therefore, most of the time, Weiss could only take care of himself.

"You are really old friends for many years?" Li didn't know when he came to Weiss's side, and his question pointed to Gunnieville, the big star surrounded by everyone.

Before Weis could answer, Li Zi said to himself: "I understand, it's a good operation!"

operate?

Through Li's smile, Weiss suddenly understood what he meant. Hey hey, Gunnieville praised herself from the bottom of her heart, not intentional canvassing!

Of course, Weiss has to admit that her remarks on the radio actually have a good canvassing effect, and may even be decisive. After all, her current influence can no longer be the same as before.

Therefore, he did not deliberately defend Li, but Li's words made him somewhat agree with Guniville's feelings - this person is very smart, but some are too smart, and people who are too smart are often not suitable partners.

He looked around and didn't see the young and beautiful lady Lee brought at the opening, so he asked curiously: "Where is your beautiful female companion?"

"This matter is hard to describe." Li smiled awkwardly after being grabbed by someone.

"We are both people who are in the world!" Weiss said this old saying in Aster's words. Li pondered for a while, and then praised: "This is really appropriate! Come on, have a drink for the people who are in the world!"

After chatting for a few words, a bald middle-aged uncle came to the two of them with a slightly drunk state, raised his glass to Li and said, "Thank you for your kind hospitality. To be honest, I like you very much, I like Mondo, and Midelgar. The scenery here is pleasant, the weather is comfortable, and the environment is very beautiful. Let's take a look at Niedwell..."

Weiss was confused about the meaning of the bald middle-aged man. He vaguely remembered that this man should be the governor of Needwell, who is a federal state in the eastern part of the Federation. Its main area is on a peninsula that penetrates the sea, so the area is only more than half of that of Middlegar, and the population is similar to Lorraine.

"General Evans, look at what you said, Niedwell is the best place for the shoreline on this planet and the most abundant fishery resources. As long as the weather is good, sailing from the port and casting nets to fish, you will definitely gain a lot of rewards. By the way, our younger governor, Mr. Clumber Heisen, is also an excellent soldier, just like you. You two should have many common topics together."

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, a young talent who broke the age record of the state chief... Hello, hello! I am Parker Evans, who used to serve in the 1st Corps and was stationed in the Monamolin Mountains. I have been to Lorraine and I was very impressed. Apart from the lack of violent sea breeze, it is actually very similar to our Needwell, with mountains everywhere and mines everywhere."

Weis shook hands with him. The other party was very strong. Fortunately, he had practiced it, so he was not weak in this area. After this secret competition, General Avis, who was slightly drunk, nodded with satisfaction: "I have two tricks, young man. You were in Ao City back then, which was a wonderful performance. If it were me, I would have been killed."

"It's just a lucky draw." Weiss said modestly.

"But then again, as a veteran who had fought with the Normans, I have something to say. You were indeed very brave in the previous stage of the guerrilla war organized by Lorraine, but you were too aggressive to attract heavy troops from the enemy. If you can be more low-key and more secure in the early stage, this guerrilla war should last longer, and you can even persist until the end of the war."

Although the words sound a little harsh and straightforward, it is indeed supreme. Weiss said with emotion: "If I asked you for advice earlier, I would not have suffered the subsequent misfortune."

General Evans waved his hand: "Everyone can analyze it afterwards, but when you are in it, you need enough experience and wisdom to see these clearly. Let me make judgments and make suggestions in advance, and the result may be worse."

Speaking of which, Lorraine and Needwell are the two regions with the richest minerals in the federal government, but compared with Lorraine's inconvenient transportation, the development time and development degree of Needwell on the peninsula is much higher. Not only is the developed fishery, but the mining, metallurgical and foundry industries are also second to none, so it can nourish more than 30 million people with an area of ​​only half a Midgar. In addition, a considerable part of the more than 30 million people are industrial laborers. In terms of economic and social vitality, Needwell is indeed a good place. No wonder Li Gang was envious of his words.

"When it comes to fighting guerrilla warfare, we have an old man here. You should respectfully call him "Old Senior... Look, there! General Asker, the district chief of Liberty City. More than 20 years ago, he commanded a guerrilla warfare in a distant place, which lasted for more than two years. It was a successful guerrilla warfare, but he was not willing to share this with everyone. Because he was carrying out a special secret mission at that time, his achievements were not formally written into military textbooks or history books, so many things. When he was awake, he said it was fake, and when he was drunk, he said it was real. In my judgment, most of the tenth was something that had happened."

After saying that, Evans went to Weiss to find the "organization".

Weiss thought about it and could be linked to the historical events on the planet Orons, which happened more than 20 years ago, was the resistance movement of Fries. At that time, North Fries split from the Kingdom of Fries with the support of the Norman Empire, and the nobles and army supported this action, while the local patriotic people spontaneously resisted. At that time, it was also a situation where the enemy was strong and we were weak. It is said that the Kingdom of Wessex and the Federation sent support, but because of the checks and balances between the major powers at that time, this support was secret and organized in an unofficial form.

The two of them came to the man with white hair but still had the obvious military temperament. He had a burly figure like an iron tower and a pair of bright eyes, which were as straight as an eagle's eyes. Seeing Evans walking a little softly, he said in a thunderous voice: "Hey, Evans, you guy is drunk again!"

General Evans smiled and said, "Why, no one can let you drink a few drinks today? Come on, this is a junior. You can have a few drinks, because you are all witnesses of guerrilla warfare, leaders, and outstanding ones!"

Before Weis introduced himself, General Astor called out his name: "Your Excellency is Colonel Clumber Heisen?"

"Yes, general, it's me. I have heard of some of your deeds before, and I admire you very much." Weiss politely said.

"Oh, don't take those rumors seriously." General Asker said solemnly, "The duty of a soldier is to obey orders and defend national interests. As long as you know this, it's enough."

This made Weiss a little surprised. He felt that the person standing in front of him was not because of the veterans of the Federal Army, but a general of the Norman Empire, because they had that strong national thinking. The Free Federation, whether soldiers or civilians, used the defense of freedom as a catchphrase.

"During war, people often mention your deeds in Liberty City." Asker said with a very cold humor. "In my impression, few people were hotly discussed by the people of Liberty City twice, because this basically means that at least two battles played a crucial role. Of course, it may also be that they messed up both battles."

Three governors who were once soldiers, for the honor of the federal army, for the sake of the deceased comrades, and for the perpetual peace, the war no longer came. They gave seven or eight glasses of congratulations in various names and various congratulations. Although it was not high wine, it was enough to make people drunk. Weiss's alcohol tolerance was not very strong, so he saw that General Evans was still awake and he was slightly drunk. However, after General Asker's glasses of wine, his originally white face turned red and his speech began to nag.
