President Pabur is very different from his predecessors, and for this politician from a low background, the inherent traditions of the Union are definitely not an untouchable Iron Curtain, and of course, as the current leader of the Federation, he is not so stupid as to blow a gale of wind in the universe without compromising on balance.
The changes he made were slow and cautious, such as the cancellation of the Nebula Award winner's routine ball at the president's residence, replaced by a personal speech by the president himself.
Awe is because of the authority and power represented by the president, and the reverence is the political tradition of the Federation and the embodiment of the will of the Federation, and the guests looked at President Pabur on the stage, which did not prevent them from having a small doubt in their hearts, why did Mr.
President make such a sudden and temporary change to the Nebula Award ceremony.
The content of President Pabul's speech reveals the real reason: The first half of the speech, which was a common tribute to the scientists and artists who had made outstanding contributions to the progress of the Federation, began to grow heavy and meaningful.
The guests listened in disbelief and could understand the president's criticism of the Empire, his concern about the situation in Xilin, and his abhorrence of terror.
But they couldn't understand why the president didn't target the Qinglong Mountain Army between the lines, but vaguely pointed to the dead congressman and the special investigation that had been there.
Even if he was once an election opponent, even if he may have different political views, the Medellín parliamentarian is dead, and he is still remembered and loved by many people in the Federation, why did President Pabur do this, where did his most basic political IQ run Medellín's name was not mentioned at all after the speech, but the subtle but direct meaning was understandable to anyone.
The expression on the face of Mr.
Ross, the governor of Gyeongju who was holding the peace trophy in the audience, became extremely heavy and angry.
The deceased is gone, and doesn't President Pabur know that this is a big taboo "It is not as good as a lamp going out, the lamp has light, and where it does not shine is darkness, and if you do something wrong, you must pay the price."
President Pabur looked at the guests who were looking at each other in the audience, and said in a deep voice: "Maybe I am not a mature politician, but I am a persistent adherent of federal law, and if I die, you can dig up my grave and see what color it is."
I have the same attitude towards some of the dead. ” The Nebula Awards ceremony ended in this eerie atmosphere, and the staff of the office were stunned and immediately began to operate, ensuring that Mr.
President's speech would not be published in the newspapers.
But with so many guests in the room, the content of the speech will definitely circulate, and as for whether there will be any more turmoil in the just quiet Federation, this is impossible to predict now.
The solemn expressions of the guests and officials walked out of the George Carlin Center, and the first thing they did was to collect the latest week's capital district newspapers.
It seemed that the Federation was going to do something about the dead Medellín, and President Pabur referred to the investigation of the Capital D.C. newspaper, and it was only then that people remembered that Bob, the editor-in-chief, and the Wood reporter, who had just been discharged from the hospital, seemed to have returned to the newspaper, which was known for revealing the truth As soon as the police car drove off the road, the black presidential motorcade slowly drove into the official residence, and as soon as President Pabul stepped out of the car, he began to give verbal instructions to several confidential secretaries who were with him, his words were low but unusually clear and powerful, just like his person, full of a calm vitality and credible charm.
Half a year after taking office, the change of blood in the presidential residence has basically ended, and now some of the staff officials in the presidential residence are Mr.
Pabul's partners and subordinates when he was a lawyer.
There are also officials with administrative surnames recommended by various parties, especially those recommended by Mrs.
Tai, who have been engaged in administrative surname work for many years, have outstanding ability, and have rich experience in dealing with the parliament, the media, and various groups.
However, the officials recommended by the lady were basically arranged in important departments and several major committees, and only one person remained in the presidential residence.
Brin, the head of the office of the official residence, greeted him and whispered something in the ear of Mr.
President.
President Pabul's slightly thick lips opened slightly, and he smiled.
He walked quickly into the oval office on the west side of the official residence, sat on a chair, carefully reviewed the documents prepared on the table, signed his name, and confirmed the data and permissions, then raised his head, looked at the young man standing in front of the table, smiled slightly, and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Xu Le." ” "It's my pleasure."
Xu Le's throat was a little dry, and he stood straight, looking at the federal president in front of him and replied.
He had been to the President's Mansion for the sake of the new standard of the X-mecha, but at that time he had only waited in the lounge all night, and at this moment he was standing in front of the most powerful man in the Federation, only three steps away.
The previous rigorous inspection and the grim eyes of the director of the Secret Service, who only knew the inside story, made Xu Le more deeply understand what it meant to meet with Mr.
President.
Fugitives, criminals, and then the president in person, even if his surname is stable and resolute, he can't help but feel uneasy.
He looked at President Pabur, who was dark-faced, and thought of Mr.
President's respectable past experience, and then thought of the many delicate relationships between himself and the presidential election in the past two years, and it was this Mr.
President who insisted on pardoning him, and could not help but have a very sincere affection and respect for the other party.
President Pabur half-leaned back in his chair and looked at the young man in front of him with great interest, his broad palms together.
He had read too much about Xu Le's files, on the one hand, he was shocked by this young man's ability and deeds, and on the other hand, he couldn't help but wonder why this person was willing to violate federal law and kill Medellin, even though he had an unlimited future.
But when he saw Xu Le, he knew that he didn't need to ask this question anymore, because this young man's eyes were calm and upright, and his ordinary face naturally showed a look of perseverance and sincerity, which looked like how many of his federal bigwigs saw Xu Le many years ago, and they would think of the time when they were clean and unstained The door to the General Office was pushed open, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Myers, walked in, led by Director Brin, holding a small box wrapped in sky-blue flannel.
Admiral Myers didn't look at Xu Le, walked directly to President Pabul's side, and handed over the box.
President Pabur stood up, opened the box, took out a medal inside, walked to Xu Le's side, clamped it on his left chest, then patted him on the shoulder, and said easily: "Before you go out, remember to hide the medal, you heroic figure is estimated to not see the light of day for many years." ” Seeing the president himself, Xu Le laughed at himself and found that he was still nervous, but at this moment he found that he had been awarded the Zichen Medal, and he couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and his hands hanging outside his cuffs were subconsciously clenched tightly.
Killing Medellín, the most hidden spy of the Empire, naturally made a great contribution to the Federation, but he thought that he had made a mistake, and he never thought that in addition to the amnesty, the Federation also awarded him an incomparably precious medal.
"You have made great contributions to the development of the X mecha by the Federation, and I remember that you also have a medal, and that one can be worn."
President Pabur noticed Xu Le's reaction and couldn't help but feel a little amused, and said in a deep voice: "In the future, if you work hard in the army and resist the invasion of the empire, the Federation needs talents like you." ” Xu Le glanced at the medal on his chest with his spare eyes, thinking of the conversation with Li Pifu in prison that day, and vaguely understood what this meant, but it seemed that Mr.
President in front of him was not clear about the complicated relationship between himself and the Li family in Philadelphia.
He stood upright and saluted Mr.
President.

President Pabur was the first president from Donglin, he didn't know that the young man in front of him was his little countryman, he only knew that Xu Le had been a mine maintenance soldier in Donglin, so he naturally inevitably got a little close, and asked with a smile: "The military court sentenced you to 713 years in prison, but I never thought that what you did was wrong."
The Federation cannot give you honor in the sun, and I don't think you will ask the Federation to compensate you for these more than 100 days in prison, what do you think, at this time, you can talk about it. ” Admiral Myers stood by and looked at Xu Le, not knowing what the young man would ask of the president.
"I didn't do the assassination of Medellín alone."
Xu Le did not hesitate and blurted out, "I also have a partner, his name is Shi Qinghai, he was able to kill Medellin, he played a key role in the middle, he should still be imprisoned in the fox fortress now, I implore Mr.
President to grant him an amnesty." ” As soon as these words came out, the originally relaxed atmosphere in the Oval Office suddenly changed, Admiral Myers frowned and glanced at Xu Le, while President Pabul walked back to his desk, and after a moment of silence, he said: "If I remember correctly, this person named Shi Qinghai is an intelligence officer of the Qinglong Mountain Army. ” "I know, but I watched the news yesterday and heard that Mr.
President is ready to restart negotiations with Qinglongshan."
Xu Le replied with his head down.
"Imperial aggression is imminent, and unity is needed within the Federation, and I do intend to invite the leaders of the South Water to come to the capital for negotiations."
Mr.
Pabur, who was still a member of parliament the year before last, made a great reconciliation agreement with the Qinglongshan army, and now that he has become the president of the Federation, it is natural to carry this agreement through, although the federal side attributed the cause of Medellin's death to the fanatical terrorists in Qinglongshan, but it has no effect on this general trend.
President Pabur didn't have to explain anything to Xu Le, but he didn't know why, and looking at Xu Le's determined eyes, he admitted it.
"In the winter of last year, you went to S2, as well as the preliminary information transfer negotiation work, which was facilitated by Shi Qinghai."
In order to rescue Shi Qinghai, Xu Le had to throw out this little secret, although Shi Gongzi once shouted that this is their president, but as the president of the Federation, who would really care about these small details of the past "You insist," President Pabur asked, looking at him with a heavy expression.
"I insist."
Xu Le raised his head and replied very seriously.
