Six biplane helicopters flew over New York.
In the cabin of one of the helicopters, Gu Xichen lay comfortably on the sofa, looking comfortably at the smoky New York outside the porthole.
At this time, New York didn't grow much in size compared to 300 years ago, but it was crammed with 60 million people in five counties.
The ground is full of small lattice apartments with more than 200 floors, and such apartment buildings have at least 50 floors underground, and of course the farther away from the ground, the cheaper the rent of the apartments, many of which are simply provided free of charge by the federal political axe.
All the tall buildings are covered with a layer of solar tiles, and the whole city has been transformed into the dark blue color characteristic of solar tiles.
The few sparse patches of green space are so rare in the tumor-like congested city, and when viewed from above, wherever there is green space, there is a dense flow of people like ant colonies.
"It's a terrible city."
Pouting, Gu Xichen smiled at Pranyo who was sitting next to him, "But the New York I remember is not like this. ” "Oh" Prajna looked at Gu Xichen curiously.
"Well, the New York I remember, is a spacious manor, a shepherd dog, and a bright sun; There are also gray-white laboratories, researchers with wrenched faces, and production lines with a strong metallic smell.
Shrugging his shoulders, Gu Xichen squinted his eyes and smiled: "Occasionally, there will be a smell of stacks of checks and cash.
Can you believe that when I was eight years old, I could tell by smell which bank issued the checks?
As long as I listen to the sound of banknotes rubbing against each other, I know whether they have been in circulation for a month, two months, six months, or a year. ” Goo-dong, goo-dong, Maha who was squatting in the corner of the cabin raised the bottle and poured a few sips of spirits, and he hiccuped and laughed: "So, you were born in a good place, boss."
Hey, here's a memory of you when you were a kid."
"Hmm," Gu Xichen nodded slightly.
"Damn, when my eldest brother and I were young," Maha said with a dark face, and he sighed with emotion: "That old immortal, if the federal court is useful to him, I will sue him for child abuse."
When my eldest brother and I were only five or six years old, we had to carry thousands of pounds of stones to hunt antelopes in the Himalayas at minus 50 degrees Celsius. ” The corners of Prajna's mouth twitched, and he folded his hands and silently recited a Buddha name.
"What the hell is that place," Maha sighed, "when I was fifteen years old, I peeked at the indigenous woman there taking a bath, and I had nightmares for three months about the black mud that flowed down her body, uh, it almost made me fall in love with the same surname, and I didn't dare to touch a woman for a year after I went down the mountain, oh my God" Prajna coughed lightly and glared at Maha fiercely.
Maha raised the wine bottle nonchalantly and puffed up his well-developed pectoralis major muscles vigorously.
The pectoralis major muscles collided with each other and made a crisp snapping sound.
Maha smiled proudly: "Later, I killed thirty women in one night, which completely eliminated the shadow in my heart. ” Gu Xichen silently picked out a thumbs to show his supreme respect for Maha.
Curled up on another couch in the cabin, Sairen and Aridia glared at Maha with disdain, Aridia narrowed her eyes and said nothing, and Sairen looked down at a certain part of herself worriedly.
With a beep, someone connected to Gu Xiechen's communicator.
Connect the communication and let Joan appear in the light curtain.
"What I promised you last time, I did it."
Qiao An said to Gu Xichen with a smile on his face: "A position of real power, responsible for supervising the budget and regular administrative work of a powerful department.
This department has a judicial process that can read, an armed force that can read, and a monitoring mechanism that can read, and its annual budget is astronomical.
This department is directly accountable to the oversight group of three elite federal councillors, and you are the Emperor of this powerful department."
Emperor Taishang has such a good thing, Gu Xichen looked at Qiao An with a smile, and always felt that there was something not so good in it.
"Hmm, which department am I in charge of supervising," Gu Xichen frowned.
"Well, well," Qiao An said with a smile, "You must know that the real power councillors are different from ordinary parliamentarians.
Ordinary federal parliamentarians only show their power when the Federal Assembly is convened, and the position of real power member you are asking for, that is, you also hold the power of the Federation in normal times, this kind of office is not easy to find. ” Twisting his fingers, Qiao An sighed and counted them one by one to Gu Xichen: "Federal Budget Oversight Committee, full; Federal Military Budget Monitoring Committee, full; Budget Monitoring Committee of the Federal Ministry of Health, full; The Federal Ministry of Education's Budget Oversight Committee, full of all in all, meets your requirements for the position, only this one monitoring team happens to have one vacancy.
Well, the pay for this position is still very good, there will be a separate office for you in the federal building, the federal will have two secretaries and eight subordinate officials for you, the transportation car will also be reimbursed by the federal government, and there will be a fast ship to follow your orders around the clock if needed. ” After a pause, Jean Joan continued to calculate: "If the matter is urgent, you will have the privilege of transferring the local judicial system and a federal A-level garrison below the regiment to cooperate with your actions.
You also oversee the fifteen laboratories and one hundred and ninety-five branches around the world of the department you oversee, and you can stay in at any time to investigate their work."
Exhaling heavily, Qiao An smiled at Gu Xichen: "This is a high-powered position, a high-ranking position, Mr.
Gu Xichen."
"However, which department am I responsible for supervising" Gu Xichen's eyes widened in surprise: "Which sub-bureau of the Federal Military Intelligence Agency?"
"Uh, no, it's not the Federal Military Intelligence Agency" made Joan shrug his shoulders: "That's the territory of the chairman of the poisonous wolf, the federal parliament, and it doesn't have the authority to monitor the work of the military intelligence agency yet."
You're in charge of the Federal Special Management Commission."
Federal Special Management Council Gu Xichen's face twitched fiercely, and he pointed at Qiao An, who was full of smiles in the light curtain, and Gu Xichen had an urge to greet his mother.
Yes, the special management committee has a judicial process that reads power, an armed force that reads power, and a monitoring mechanism that reads power, and it is basically outside the federal administrative system, and it is a department that both the military and the government of the federation look at but are unwilling to meddle in -- this damn department is specifically responsible for dealing with the federal law-registered soldiers, and now there are only about 20 law-registered members of the federation, and in fact, the special management committee is the logistics department that wipes the butts of these 20 or so people Federal Special Management Committee, everyone should be familiar with this name Well, it's good to intervene and muddy the water To be continued:
