Chapter 1279: Problem

Middle Porter is a bit afraid of President Porter. People often say "the generation between is close," but this sentence is basically not used in big families, especially big families with many descendants.

For children, these people look at it very lightly. First there is interest, then there is family affection.

Including now that President Porter wants to pass on the power in his hands, it is not that he cares how much about Mr. Middle Porter or Middle Porter, but that he wants to use such a way to achieve the degree of continuing to have influence on the political arena.

Through the successor, although his influence will be reduced, at least he is still influencing.

Compared to choosing other successors, his own children are obviously the best choice, but not the only choice.

Facing a grandfather who is not close to him and holds great power, any grandson will feel somewhat panicked and uneasy.

"I want to call and ask," he really didn't want to continue staying here, and finally said this sentence.

His uncle gave a "hum" indifferently, "Whatever you want, you can call at 10:15, and you only have ten minutes."

"If you exceed this time period, you will have to wait until after 10:00 PM. However, whether he answers the phone at that time depends on his mood."

The President's time is always limited. Every time period is arranged very tightly, and he almost can't spare too much time to specifically serve a certain matter.

After Middle Porter put down the phone, he lit a cigarette. Thinking of the boring life here, he had a kind of urge to cry!

He is the President's grandson; he should enjoy better everything, instead of living in this damn army!

Even finding a woman, the most expensive woman here is only worth ten dollars!

Damn!

This will become a joke in his circle of friends. He actually—fuck!

Thinking of this matter, he was a bit broken. He actually really went to a woman who only cost ten dollars, and this was still the most expensive woman he could find here!

He could imagine the disdainful eyes of those girls when they heard this news. For those young men and women of the same class, they might feel that even doing it themselves is better than finding those cheap ones.

But he really couldn't stand always solving it himself—

He had enough of everything here. Although they gave him some preferential treatment because he was the President's grandson, there was basically no difference in his basic life.

He wants to leave here!

He almost stared at the rotation of the clock until it reached 10:15.

He dialed the Presidential Palace's phone on time. The phone was soon answered. After being transferred, it was finally sent to President Porter.

"Do you have any other thoughts on my requirements?" President Porter knew who was calling before answering the phone.

All calls made to the Presidential Palace will first go through the President's Secretary Office for screening, rather than letting these calls be dialed directly to the President's desk in the President's office.

If it were like this, then it would ring non-stop from morning to night. Federal people would be bored enough to try to see if the President really answers the phone, so all incoming calls will be processed before notifying President Porter who the incoming call is from.

He heard that it was a call from his grandson and realized at the first moment that this bastard was one hundred percent dissatisfied with his decision, dissatisfied with his decision to let him continue in the army.

The moment he heard President Porter's voice, Middle Porter's skin shrank a bit, and his anus wrapped up, "Grandfather—"

"You should call me Mr. President. It is working time now; you have to call me by my position."

"Mr. President—I don't know what use a small character like me has in the army. My uncle told me that I must stay here for another period of time."

"You see, in your eyes, I am just a piece of trash. I am not as smart as my brothers, nor do I have any ability. I can't do anything."

"I can't get along with those officers, nor can I guess what specific purpose you have in keeping me here. I think maybe changing to someone else is more appropriate—"

He gathered his courage and said these words. President Porter listened patiently to all his words and then said, "You are my grandson, my own grandson. This is an advantage that others don't possess."

"Listen, you bastard!"

"Now we have encountered a little trouble. We need to have a direct family member in the army to ease the contradiction between the Presidential Palace and those troubles."

"I can't find another person to stuff into the army at this time. This will make everything look too deliberate, so you have to keep doing it."

Middle Porter's face was full of ugly expressions, "I—when can I go home?"

President Porter laughed twice, "I will agree to let you go home when you can go home."

"In short, this matter is not just a punishment for you, you little bastard."

"You have grown up, and you must also learn to contribute your strength to the family, to us. All your expenses over the years, and in the future, your status, your privileges, all come from us and the family. You can't just learn to take, but not know how to give, understand?"

"I don't want to hear any news about you escaping from the army. If there is, then congratulations, you will lose everything you possess. I will let your father give birth to another child."

"If there are any other things, call your uncle. I don't have that much time to specifically answer your calls!"

"Do you understand?"

After Middle Porter finished listening, the whole person was like being pulled out of his bones. He wanted to cry. At this time, he endured the sad mood and said, "I know."

The phone was then hung up. He put the receiver back on the phone base somewhat blankly, and then sat there blankly. The whole person seemed to have lost his soul!

This damn place, he didn't want to stay for even one day!

He didn't know any big principles; he only knew that he couldn't stand it anymore!

But obviously, he had no way.

The phone bell on the table suddenly rang again. He answered it subconsciously. It was his uncle calling.

"You should have already talked to your grandfather. For the next period of time, you just stay there and do what you should do. In addition, I have already talked to your superiors. You also need to participate in some military training, even if it's just for show, understand?"

"If you can cooperate, I will have people send you some things from time to time, no matter what you want."

This sentence seemed to give Middle Porter a glimmer of hope in his resignation, "Anything is fine, including people?"

His uncle was stunned for a moment, "You can only think of that little thing in your crotch, right?"

He sneered, "Even if it's people."

Finding a short-term comfort for the soul in pain, that is what this moment is talking about.

Middle Porter resigned himself to his fate, but fortunately, he could still find a little fun for himself. He comforted himself that it would pass.

At this moment, he might be the only one in the entire Porter family who doesn't hope that President Porter can win the midterm election!

The following days became even worse for him. Before, he held the rank of sergeant here, and he didn't have to follow when doing drills and training. This counted as one of his small privileges, but now this privilege was gone.

He had to follow the drills and also accept military training, and this change appeared just a few days after he talked to President Porter.

At the same time, there were also some reporters who appeared at the training ground, taking photos of Middle Porter executing the training plan. Of course, these photos were the kind that President Porter needed.

They wouldn't take photos of Middle Porter panting and unable to keep up with the team, nor would they take photos of him being unable to climb over a low wall. They took photos of things that fit federal values.

Perhaps the training plan made Middle Porter unable to think about too many other things, and he became "single." Besides drills and training, his material desires became much lower in the army.

However, he also gained another kind of happiness—

Every week, he asked his uncle to send some women over, those young, beautiful women who were different from the ones outside for a few dollars. He also took the initiative to pick soldiers in his company who were willing to play with him and be his lackeys to enjoy these women.

Gradually, this made him very popular in his company, and he had a lot of money. The military's control over him wasn't that strong, and he could get more military supplies, such as cigarettes, such as wine!

This is absolutely his most magical point. Outside, it is very difficult for ordinary people to drink a glass of wine. What is difficult is not the cost, but that they can't find a place to buy wine.

But in the army, the prohibition order is like it doesn't exist. Wine is distributed once a week as a necessary military supply.

Although the overall quantity is not large, at least everyone can drink wine.

He used his identity privilege to get more wine for his company, which made him begin to become popular in the company.

Who can refuse to flatter a person in the sky who can bring more cigarettes, more wine, and even send free beautiful girls to play?

No one can refuse!

These behaviors of his don't count as destroying the order in the army. Plus, the Federation he is in is just an ordinary company in the army. When necessary, they can let them retire early, so the military used this place as Middle Porter's playground.

As long as he doesn't do anything too excessive, the army side won't take the initiative to stop him from doing anything.

Just when Middle Porter began to truly adapt to military life, some special things were happening outside.

Along with the deeper binding of the Xiang Yalan region with the Federation, the Xiang Yalan National Union League basically existed in name only. Although the Republic of Jiede wanted to change this situation, basically there was no hope.

The countries that defected to the Federation could get more orders from the Federation and could buy more high-quality goods at low prices—actually, the Republic of Jiede could do this itself, but they couldn't do it.

The countries that defected to the Federation seemed to have gained huge discounts in this matter. They could buy high-quality goods from the Federation at very low prices, even at cost price.

But the phenomenon behind this is a huge impact on their own industrial system. The goods they produce themselves can't be sold because the cost price is higher than the sales price of federal goods on the market.

The local industry was completely destroyed, both light and heavy industry.

However, these poor and backward small countries don't care. They originally had nothing and were in a relatively primitive state. Federal people helping them will only make them better than now, not worse than now.

For example, the Republic of Makan, a small country with millions of people, basically has no so-called "industrialization process." They can enjoy cheap and high-quality federal goods with peace of mind, making their lives better.

And this has also become a signal that is spreading rapidly. The lives of countries accepting federal management have begun to change, with more job positions, better enjoyment of life, and more development opportunities.

And those countries that are still insisting, such as the Republic of Jiede, are not having a good time.

The federal government has no idea of military aggression against them, but this process of countries around them undergoing huge changes is also stimulating the residents within the Republic of Jiede, as well as those countries whose lives are slightly better.

Makan, that poor country that basically couldn't afford clothes—if it weren't for the Xiang Yalan region being in the tropics, half of their people might not have been able to survive the winter—is now becoming rich, which will make people psychologically unbalanced.

What is even more troublesome is that the Republic of Makan imported a large amount of cheap products from the Federation and then smuggled them into the interior of the Republic of Jiede.

These two countries are stuck together tightly, and this kind of smuggling is very difficult to eradicate.

It's not just Makan people smuggling things to the Republic of Jiede; more of them are Jiede people, including some officers and officials on the border, who have taken the initiative to participate!

Crazy smuggling brings crazy wealth. They don't look favorably on the Republic of Jiede continuing to maintain the policy of not cooperating with the Federation, so they think that changes will definitely happen in the future, so they are frantically making money without any concerns.

However, not all countries welcome the Federation, especially for some countries that have a little "foundation."

Letting the Federation manage the country means they will lose the privileges they possess and lose their wealth. The placement methods given to them by the federal government cannot achieve the results they want.

From a dictator who can decide other people's life and death at will, to a rich person who just has a little money but no privileges at all, and is kept in captivity, this is not what they want.

It's not just some rulers who are still opposing the entry of federal people; some ordinary people and local elite classes are also opposing the entry of the Federation.

A large number of federal people coming to their country has caused a huge impact on their lives, employment, and capital in the budding stage.

If one wants to talk about the negative things brought by federal people, it is that a large number of local enterprises in the Xiang Yalan region have gone bankrupt and closed down, the existing social structure is being broken, and the class is being reshuffled.

Those who have gained opportunities to improve their class are definitely full of gratitude for the arrival of federal people, but those who have fallen from the clouds because of the arrival of federal people will only be full of hatred for federal people.

So in the Xiang Yalan region, two extreme thoughts and emotions are still constantly struggling.

The complex situation in the Xiang Yalan region also affected President Porter.

For example, the country of Luli, which has already had some cooperation with the Federation, currently has similar problems. There are some resistance organizations within the country, and they think that the help of the Federation is actually an invasion.

The inaction of the ruling class is making the country become the Federation's spoils of war. The ruling class is selling out the entire country; they are the sinners of the country, and these resistance organizations are doing some malicious cases under the banner of saving the country.

This organization is mainly composed of young people, and they have begun to attack federal factories, attack banks, rob wealth, and even cases of killing federal people have appeared.

The huge gap between rich and poor is indeed easy to breed this kind of extreme antagonistic emotion. Luli's domestic situation can be counted as relatively serious.

If this situation is just an individual case, for example, only one or two cases happen a year, then it must be solved by the locals themselves.

But now the number is increasing. By September this year, more than forty federal people have been killed while doing business and traveling in Luli.

Among them, the recent two incidents clearly appeared with resistance forces. They solved two federal people with ritual execution methods and threatened all federal people to leave Luli as soon as possible and not to invade their country again.

Otherwise, things (referring to killing federal people) will continue to appear until the federal people compromise.

President Porter simply looked at these reports submitted from below, as well as the explanation of the Luli official. They have tried their best to deal with these things, but so far there hasn't been any very good result.

"What is going on with this Luli—?"

The Secretary of State sat opposite him, "We have some businesses in Luli. Although we also used quite a few locals, you know, they couldn't possibly really distribute the money earned to those people, plus the corruption problem of the local ruling system."

"So there are relatively large differences and opposition within their country."

The ruling class wants to sell the things in their hands for a good price before the Federation completely occupies the Xiang Yalan region. Anything that is state-owned assets, they sell everything they can, exchanging for a large amount of wealth in a short period of time.

But this matter is not a good thing for the locals. Quite a few people went bankrupt because of the entry of federal people, factories closed down, and even the ownership of some natural resources was directly taken away.

Once contradictions arise, there will always be people who go to extremes. Malicious crimes against federal people are increasing in some countries.

President Porter listened to the Secretary of State introduce the situation here and asked after a while, "What disposal methods do we have?"

The Secretary of State shook his head, "Currently, we can only urge them to catch the criminals as soon as possible, but I think this point is very difficult to do."

"There is also a voice—" The Secretary of State paused here. He looked at President Porter, "Some businessmen are connecting, and they hope to let the Federation send troops to protect their legitimate interests in the Xiang Yalan region—" ===== CHAPTER 1280 =====
