Chapter 533 The most crucial evidence?
Chapter 533 The most crucial evidence?
Ai Wanxin said a lot of things, but she actually didn't answer any of Schnatter's questions.
But Schnatter obviously didn't notice. He snorted and said meaningfully, "Don't worry about that. You are a useless person who can only gossip and talk nonsense. You are not qualified to stay by my side."
Ai Wanxin looked at Schnatter's thick lips, blocking out his implicit meaning that he wanted her to identify with him, and thought to herself: Among them, the only one who can be called a useless gossipmonger is Wagner.
Not worthy of staying by his side, does that mean he sent Wagner away?
Could it be that the transport ship that was supposed to have been looted by the pirates was carrying Wagner?
"Oh?" Ai Wanxin smiled and said, "Has the Chief Inspector been appointed to another position?"
Schnatter sneered and didn't respond.
But it's enough.
Ai Wanxin narrowed her eyes slightly, and it was indeed Wagner that was on board the transport ship.
It was Schnatter who wanted to use the pirates to get rid of him!
However, in this case, the Sixth Sector Fleet's decision to abandon the rebels and rush to intercept the transport ship was not Schnatter's instruction.
Someone who can bypass the Grand Admiral and mobilize the star sector fleet...
Ai Wanxin had a happy smile on her lips. The fragile alliance between Old Hans and Schnatter seemed to have collapsed.
Schnatter pinched her with his eyes and said, "What are you laughing at? Didn't you understand? This Marshal does not keep useless people or idle people around him."
"You said you had completed all the tasks I assigned to you, but how come this Marshal received news that Atlas was planning to nominate the governor of a small country as the head of the alliance? I don't remember ever agreeing to this. Is this what you call a completed task?"
"The son of Atlas is with you. Are you guys doing something behind my back?"
"You may not know me very well. Anyone who tries to fool me will not have a good ending. You don't want to be exiled to a distant star to do hard labor, do you?"
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. Those who are sent there are all desperadoes without humanity. They are not very civilized and are definitely not gentle to women. You'd better understand what I mean."
Ai Wanxin looked directly into Schnatter's eyes, which were full of malice and threats, and raised her eyebrows and said, "Of course I know you very well, Marshal."
Schnatter inexplicably felt that Ai Wanxin was scolding him. Just as he was about to explode, he heard Ai Wanxin change the subject and said, "Atlas can only nominate the governor of a small country as the head of the alliance. Have you ever thought about why?"
Schnatter frowned. “What do you mean?”
Ai Wanxin said calmly: "After you, Marshal, entrusted me with such an important task of building an 'obedient' coalition government, I actually thought about it carefully."
"Before this, Atlas was the one who pushed for the formation of the Earth Alliance government and the election of the head of the alliance."
"If I find a way to work with him, it really does get twice the result with half the effort."
Schnatter sat up straight suddenly and wanted to scold her, but Ai Wanxin raised her hand to stop him.
"Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Schnatter could only lean back in his chair.
Ai Wanxin continued: "I don't know how much you know about Atlas. Do you know what he used to do?"
Schnatter said irritably, "Don't beat around the bush. I don't know."
Ai Wanxin said slowly: "Atlas's original name was Arthur Friedrich. He was a top tycoon on Earth. These top tycoons and oligarchs had influenced the implementation of policies at the national level in their respective countries through direct or indirect methods before the end of the world. Some of them even tried to unite and build a global control system."
"He is so concerned about forming the Earth Alliance government because he wants to continue to control the Alliance as a shadow government after Earth joins the Interstellar Federation."
"If I choose to cooperate with him, it will indeed be much easier. No, it can almost be said to be effortless." Ai Wanxin looked at Schnatter and said sincerely, "But there is no two suns in the sky, and there is no two rulers in a country, Marshal."
"If I rely on cooperating with him to take down the Alliance government for you, then who should the elected Alliance leader listen to in the future?"
Schnatter raised his taut jaw, glared at Ai Wanxin, and asked suspiciously, "Have you thought of such a far-reaching thing for this Marshal?"
Ai Wanxin raised her eyes complacently: "Marshal, when I said I was the world's leading mercenary and a top broker who could do anything for you, you didn't think I was joking, did you?"
“All the commissions that have passed through my hands have not left the client dissatisfied.”
"Of course I can fool you and convince you to choose the candidate for the head of state that Atlas has already decided on, but that is not my style."
"Since I'm going to do it, I must do it to the best of my ability, without any mistakes, and so that the client has no worries at all!"
Schnatter's heart was burning with excitement after hearing this. Even if Ai Wanxin asked him to buy an insurance policy at this time, he would probably sign it without hesitation.
His tone relaxed, and he nodded with a hint of approval: "Very good, you have this intention. This Marshal is very pleased. But since you don't plan to cooperate with Atlas, why is his son following you?"
"Also, I heard that you didn't show up at the alliance meeting this morning. What were you doing?"
During a verbal confrontation, the most taboo thing is to follow the other person's train of thought and answer whatever the other person asks. In this way, it is the other person who gets the effective information.
But you can't provide no information at all, otherwise the other party will know you are outlining, and the situation will take a turn for the worse.
Ai Wanxin continued, "Atlas was the one who pushed for the formation of the alliance government. I want to select the head of the alliance for you, so I can't get around him anyway. Of course, if there is enough time, I can do it slowly, but obviously we don't have that much time."
"So I put his preferred candidate for the head of the alliance under house arrest."
"House arrest?" Schnatter asked, "Can Atlas agree to that?"
Ai Wanxin smiled and said, "Of course it's not in the name of house arrest."
"You may not know that the candidate is the former speaker of a country on Earth who is in exile. Atlas took a fancy to his former international reputation and current embarrassing situation and thought he was a perfect candidate for a puppet."
"But he has actually lost his reputation in the country. If you want to use him, you have to rehabilitate him and let him make a public declaration of exile, at least to restore his image on the surface."
"And the most crucial evidence he needs happens to be in my hands."
"So the son of Atlas was sent by him to keep an eye on me and to make an exile declaration for that man."
"The most crucial evidence?" Schnatter asked curiously, "What is that?"
