Chapter 782 Mortals
"Ga, thank you for your support, thank you for your business, thank you for your factory, Ga, thank you."

There was a strange green light flashing on the forehead of the machine in front of him, and a series of digital codes flashed through the eye display screen. There were a lot of weird letters and runes that Zheng Li couldn't understand, but his excitement was undisguised.

"Heh, please don't say that. I'm just here to make money. I need your help. I should be the one to thank you for your kindness. And technology investment."

"No, no, this is the help we most expect. Demand promotes a long-term supply chain. We have found many people before, and no one should accept us at this time. Without your help, we may only consider leaving the city gone."

As he spoke, X-267 Ke Zhizhi trembled all over, and the dark green lightning character representing fear flashed across the display.

If the situation deteriorates again, and if there is no reliable umbrella, they will all consider taking their clansmen to leave the human city and find a (relatively safe) outside small town to live in. The fundamental reason why they have not left is not that they How much trust do humans have, but they also know that when the two races fight to a certain extent, the Iron Man who leaves the human power has the same high probability of becoming a sacrifice.

In fact, in Iron Man's own internal communication channels, the Iron Man residents in some cities and towns have been ravaged, their properties have been looted, their lives have become sacrifices to vent their hatred, and killing has become a means for the fearful to vent their emotions .

Why not flee to the Altels?In fact, if the persecution suffered by the human side is one, the number of persecution suffered by the Atel people has reached one hundred.

At least the human beings are still talking about "Iron Man is also a member of human beings", and the persecution of the Atel people is organized into a system under the banner of "eradicating traitors and spies" and "eliminating human offal". to persecute.

reason?There's a lot, but at the end of the day, it's the Atels who are at the disadvantage of the war.

Yes, because we lost the battle, we need a sacrifice. Any "historical reasons" and "guarding against traitors" are secondary reasons. The real thing is to find an outlet for the defeat.

Looking at the anxious Congressman Ke in front of him, Zheng Li smiled and chatted with him about the daily routine, trying to calm his uneasiness and anxiety.

"By the way, the speaker has changed, and it's time for re-election of the councilors. Is Councilor Ke interested in re-election?"

"Yes, yes, yes, of course, not only me, but also my tribe, many iron brothers who run companies outside, and they eagerly hope to come to the majestic Shiqian City and participate in the prosperity of mankind. I donate 2000 million, no, 1 million to the medical and biological department, hoping to gain the trust of your family."

"Uh"

Now, it was Zheng Li's turn to freeze.

He was really just asking casually, and had no intention of blackmailing.
".Sorry, you misunderstood. I didn't come to ask for donations. Even if I didn't donate, I would still support your councilor election. After all, I am the 'district head' of the Iron Man Autonomous Region, and you are my citizens."

Before Zheng Li could finish speaking, the big "senator" on the opposite side half knelt down.

"Please, please, please accept this money, please accept it! Since you consider yourself our leader, please accept it!"

Zheng Li opened his mouth wide. He has seen countless absurd things in his life, but he has never seen anything so outrageous.

Is it okay not to charge money?Is this gift or a huge "donation" of hundreds of millions?
Inexplicably, Zheng Li looked at Iron Man with more sympathy. Due to Zheng Li's special status, he looked at Iron Man in a relatively rational way, unlike most "Mercury people", who immediately thought of "Iron Man" when he saw Iron Man. The First World War of Betrayal", "Hate in History".

In fact, in the beheading incident of the Iron Man diplomat before, he still had some sympathy for the victim Iron Man. An important role, the "persecution" of the Altels is quite reasonable considering the factor of "they leaked the technology of the Atels, which made the rise of mankind possible".

But look at it from another angle. "Looking at history rationally" and "looking at the past without prejudice and ass" are inherently false propositions. Everyone has their own "birthplace" and the "history" of their own racial past. Everything that happened in the past" was originally a "pure theory".

In desperation, Zheng Li sighed, he knew that since the other party opened his mouth, he might have to accept the money.

"Okay, get up, I will use this money to set up businesses and build infrastructure in the Iron Man Autonomous Region. If you have brothers outside, tell them to come here. I really lack people here. You should also know that in my battle group There are a bunch of orcs and aliens, and there are two alien races in my territory, the 'human horse' and the 'spiritual clan', I have no prejudice against alien races, let alone you."

Seeing Councilor Ke's eyes full of "hesitation", Zheng Li smiled and pulled him up.

"I know that you will hesitate to talk about personal feelings, so let's talk about benefits, come on, I will make a fortune, and Shiqiancheng will make a lot of progress, and because of my special status, no one will doubt my position, and the official will fully support it Me, playing the 'patriotic card' against me is not realistic."

This is the heart of the matter, the crux of the fear and hesitation of the Ironmen.

It’s not that there are no political and economic leaders who are willing to take in iron men (to obtain their benefits), but if the situation worsens, if the general trend of Shiqian City tends to "kill a few iron men to vent the fire", "Iron men? Tin dogs, Are they also entitled to human rights?" At that time, what choice will those political and business leaders make?Some things are self-explanatory.

This is not utilitarian or ungrateful or anything, but just "reasonable" self-preservation. An ordinary politician really has the courage to block public opinion. No, is it "necessary" to block public opinion?

The current Iron Man clan has actually fallen into a desperate situation.

The clansmen on the side of the Atel people have been persecuted on a large scale. The neutral iron people outside the two clans have been hostile to both clans at the same time. On the human side, they are enjoying worse and worse "public opinion" ", just slipping into the abyss step by step.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you very much!"

Excited red light flickered back and forth on the display screen, Councilor Ke was ecstatic, this time the feedback he received exceeded expectations by several times.

If anyone within Shiqian City could really keep the Iron Man, there would be only two people, Li Zhenjun and Zheng Li.

The former is only limited to the present. If "public opinion is boiling", someone as the mayor will probably take Iron Man to the altar immediately.

There are some things that everyone can see, so not many people are willing to make enough "commitments" to Iron Man.

But Zheng Li is different, he is the hero of Shiqian city construction... himself!

Since I came two months ago, the rumors about Zheng Li have added some content. Some things sound absurd, but they have a beginning and an end.

".You, are you really the hero who built the city, the 'Zeus' who lost his name?"

Zheng Li was silent, and he also knew that Li Zhenjun wanted to build momentum for himself, which was tantamount to creating momentum for the new political system and standing for the time-shifting military system during the war.

This card just came earlier than he expected.

"He's a hero, I'm just a mortal. A mortal trying to survive."
