Chapter 4152: Yes, Sorcerer Supreme (III)

Two hours before the meeting started. Just when Strange was still happily picking up equipment across the universe, Nick walked into Shiler's office with a heavy face.

"What's wrong?" Shiler stopped typing on the keyboard and asked.

Nick sighed heavily, sat down on the chair, and then sighed again, just saying nothing.

"Speak if you have something to say. I'm busy here."

"What time is it, and you're still busy with other things. There are two hours left before the meeting. If we can't decide today, then we'll just hand over the throne of the Speaker to others."

"What are you in such a hurry for?" Shiler continued to look at the computer screen, then said, "Isn't there still two hours?"

"You say it easily, just two hours, where can I find a sucker willing to be the Speaker? I haven't eaten as many closed doors in my life as I have this month!" Nick was obviously full of resentment.

Shiler finally stopped his movements and turned around, then said: "Have you looked for the mutants too? They don't want to be it either?"

"Of course I looked for them. Professor X's attitude was not bad, but I drank a stomach full of English black tea, and I couldn't convince him at all. Magneto didn't even see anyone, sigh."

"Since everyone doesn't want to be it, then don't be it."

"Don't talk nonsense," Nick blew his beard and stared, saying, "That's the Speaker of the Interstellar Council! Even if it's not easy to be, it must be humanity who is the Speaker, absolutely not given to those aliens again. Moreover, this may be the biggest improvement in humanity's interstellar status within a century, someone must be it!"

"You said it yourself, the Speaker is not easy to be." Shiler shook his head and said, "What needs to be balanced is not only humanity and aliens, but also aliens and aliens, and even humanity and humanity. Whoever does this job will go crazy."

"But there is also power," Nick said, "Although most major matters need to be voted on by the entire council, some small matters can still be decided."

"For example?"

"Uh, for example, some security matters."

"Can Thanos be dismissed?"

"The Interstellar Security Committee where Thanos is located belongs to the Security Department, and only the Minister of the Security Department has the power to appoint and dismiss."

"Then can the Minister of the Security Department be dismissed?"

"This doesn't need to be dismissed, when the new Speaker takes office and reorganizes the cabinet, it will naturally be changed."

"Then can the new Minister dismiss Thanos?"

"Seems not. The Interstellar Security Committee belongs to the standing organization, and the Chief Executive is a standing member of the standing organization. If you want to dismiss, you need all standing members of the standing organization to vote."

Shiler spread his hands and said: "That's it, isn't it? Even the power to appoint and dismiss employees is gone, what else can you expect him to do? I advise you, don't think about using big cakes to fool people into doing it."

"So, do you have other ways to fool others into doing it?"

"What do you mean by fooling," Shiler rolled his eyes with disdain and said, "If you tell people that you are going to be the Speaker of the Interstellar Council, then people will definitely not do it."

"But now everyone knows that we are going to choose a sucker to be the Speaker. Even if I package this as another position, people won't believe it."

"No, no, no, it's just that people who have been staying on Earth recently know that we are going to choose the Speaker of the Interstellar Council, but aren't there others who are not here?"

"You mean..."

"And, from the perspective of interstellar politics, what we want to choose is the Speaker of the Interstellar Council, but from the perspective of humanity, isn't it also choosing the political leader of humanity?"

"You don't want to steal the concept, do you? Although the Speaker of the Interstellar Council is indeed the political leader of humanity, after all, he is the person with the highest status in interstellar politics, but in terms of actual power, it really makes no difference from having none. Just being like this is enough, and there are many messy things to deal with. If you don't deal with them well, it's easy to get into trouble. It can be said that the less power, the greater the responsibility. Otherwise, why does no one love to be it?"

"Fine, as long as you promise me one thing, I guarantee to find you a qualified Speaker, how about it?"

"You tell me what it is first."

"We made such a big move, severely damaged the three major empires, and harmed all those high-level civilizations that looked like something, but it wasn't for a virtual position, what do you think?"

Returning to the venue, what else did Strange, who sat down, not understand? He was fooled by Shiler again!

First urge himself to write an opinion paper, then inadvertently reveal some things about greed, then proceed to philosophical analysis, then steal the concept, and finally apply pressure, and he was fooled into a limp!

Now it seems that there are no competitors at all. Everyone doesn't want to be this leader, and he is the only one who stupidly recommended himself and took over this hot potato.

Strange really wanted to slap himself. And in the process of talking to Shiler, Shiler had already said that everyone lost to their own greed. The answer was written on the question, and he could still get it wrong! Still get it wrong!

Doesn't this just correspond to what he said, as long as you choose to retreat in the face of difficulties, you naturally won't have no choice, but if you come back a thousand times or ten thousand times, that devil named Greed will still make him pick the apple, press the button, and choose that option with no choice.

Strange covered his forehead and sighed long in his heart. Greed, oh greed.

Sure enough, the subsequent opinion papers didn't mention anything about human leaders at all. The few so-called candidates wrote serious opinions, such as: How to manipulate interstellar public opinion? How to restore human reputation? How to deepen cooperation with Asgard, etc.

This made Strange more convinced that this so-called human leader was a pot that no one wanted to pick up, and then he rushed up voluntarily and put the pot on his own head.

When the meeting was dismissed, everyone who passed by him had an admiring expression, then patted his shoulder with words stopping at their lips, sighed and shook their heads, and then walked past him.

This scene couldn't help but make Strange associate it with a funeral farewell. He even felt a bit terrified. What exactly is this human leader going to do to make others have this expression?

You know, although Shiler would fool him, he wouldn't lie to him. If he said it was a human leader, it must be a human leader. And there is no one here who is not an ambitious person. Who doesn't want to be a human leader?

Unless, the greater the honor, the greater the responsibility. Or rather, the greater the honor, the bigger the pit, and even this pit is so big that no amount of honor can fill it. What is this going to do?!

Less than half an hour after the meeting ended, an invitation from the Interstellar Council appeared on Strange's desk. Strange opened it, and the title read "Hello Candidate".

What candidate? What is he a candidate for?

Strange didn't know either, so he looked down. He saw it written below: "Friendly reminder from the Standing Secretary of the Speaker of the Interstellar Council, the Speaker election will be held tomorrow, please be sure to attend on time, thank you!"

Strange slapped the invitation on the desk, his expression as if he had seen a ghost. Who registered him for the Speaker election?!

No need to think, you know this thing must have been decided internally long ago. Otherwise, how could he just recommend himself, and the candidate's invitation could be sent to him? Isn't it just that humanity decides first, and the vote is just a formality?

Strange slumped into the chair, simply heartbroken. Can he still not know how hard this Speaker is to be?

The Interstellar Council is actually the one-man show of the three major empires, because it was originally established by the three major empires. Although it later absorbed some members of high-level civilizations, their influence is minimal. All high-level civilizations combined might only be comparable to one of the three major empires. And on most important matters, the three major empires are of one mind and will not give others a chance to raise objections.

So for so many years, although some Speakers of other civilizations have emerged, most of them are puppets. Behind the scenes, it's still whatever the three major empires say, he does.

Now it's good, the three major empires are probably trying to play a delaying tactic with humanity, so they promised this Speaker position that has no effect at all, but humanity has to accept it.

Don't look at this position as having no real power, but even in name, it is the first person in the interstellar space. Even if you are a puppet, the civilization from which this Speaker comes can be glorious for a while. At least this shows that you are valued by the three major empires, and others dare not move you.

Although humanity is not afraid of things, it also wants a reputation. Moreover, they just turned the universe upside down, so they must get some positive events to restore their reputation.

On the other hand, after this battle, the relationship between humanity and the three major empires is completely irreparable. The other side makes a move, and humanity can only accept the move. If you escape, you are cowardly before the battle, and it is impossible to escape forever.

And, humanity became the Speaker, even to avoid suspicion, the three major empires could not attack humanity on the surface, and humanity could not attack them again, which is equivalent to hanging up a sign of no war. The three major empires are trying to take advantage of this time to recuperate and plan for the future. Isn't humanity the same? With humanity's development speed, a truce of one or two years is enough to start the interstellar great voyage.

So no matter what, humanity must accept this position. But in fact, once accepted, it will inevitably be hidden arrows and open guns. The three major empires will never let any human sit comfortably in this position, it is impossible to let him touch real power, and will try their best not to let them get a reputation. It is completely imaginable how many old cases that are difficult to handle they will throw in front of this human Speaker.

If you don't deal with them, they will turn around and start spreading rumors, promoting human incompetence, and suppressing human status; if you deal with them, once you don't deal with them well, it will be even more embarrassing. Thinking about it, you know that the three major empires cannot let you deal with them well.

Knowing that he was going to be the Speaker of the Interstellar Council, Strange's head was really buzzing. He really wanted to slap himself who listened to Shiler's fooling, but when it really came to this time, the only person he could ask for help was Shiler.

Strange rushed into Shiler's office in a hurry and slapped the invitation on his desk. Shiler turned his head to look at him, then said: "What's wrong? Mr. Speaker?"

"Look at the good things you've done!" Strange gritted his teeth.

"You chose it yourself, I didn't grab your hand and help you write the opinion paper," Shiler shrugged and said, "And, don't act like you've known me for the first day. Why do you think the medical records I filled for you were filled in vain?"

Strange's expression stiffened. He knew Shiler didn't have such good intentions. He filled the medical records for more than half a year. Sure enough, the price of the gift of fate had already been marked in the dark. Pie wouldn't fall from the sky!

But things have come to this, he has to drag Shiler into the water, otherwise, this Speaker has no chance to be. So he gritted his teeth and said: "You go with me."

"Why?" Shiler turned his head back again and said while typing on the keyboard, "I'm not stupid. The three major empires have been operating for thousands of years. The Interstellar Council must be a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. I won't go looking for trouble."

"Then you let me go?!" Strange was heartbroken.

"Anyway, you are the Sorcerer Supreme, they dare not do anything to you, at most you will be scolded by others."

Strange suddenly realized.

"You're right, I am the Sorcerer Supreme, I won't participate in the election tomorrow, who can do anything to me?"

Shiler finally turned back again and said: "That's true, then do you want to stand them up like this?"

"No!" Strange's resentment broke through the sky. Compared to not suffering, now he wants Shiler to eat his own bitter fruit, so he said, "I said it, you go with me!"

Shiler seemed to be waiting for him here, suddenly smiled, and said: "Yes, Sorcerer Supreme."

?? Yes, SorcererSupreme

? Hahaha who understands me ===== CHAPTER 4153 =====
