"You have important news to report to your superiors?" The staff member who was holding him looked at Hong Kangquan in confusion. "Director Hong, why didn't you mention this before?"
Hong Kangquan replied calmly, "I didn't know this news was so important before, so I didn't mention it. When I saw the headlines today, I realized that I might have missed the most important news, so I hope to redeem myself. "
"What news?" The staff member narrowed his eyes. He wasn't willing to make a trip to the Senate building just because of Hong Kangquan's words.
"Here." Hong Kangquan pointed at the hot American news reprinted in the newspaper. "The Americans want us to hand over the 'Pink Piggy.' I might know how to find the 'Pink Piggy.'"
"Really?!" The staff member was interested. If Hong Kangquan really knew how to find the "Pink Piggy," then it would be a great achievement!
"Wait, I'll ask my superiors." The staff member was about to call the Senate.
Hong Kangquan shook his head. "Call Prime Minister Tan. I'll only tell him about this."
Tan Dongbang was only the acting prime minister at this time.
The Senate had previously tried to impeach him but failed.
According to the law, if the Senate wanted to impeach him again, they would need to go through more stringent procedures and would have no chance of success.
Therefore, Speaker Long didn't choose to impeach him again. Instead, he chose to dissolve the Cabinet and hold a new interim election.
But before the interim election was held and a new prime minister was elected, Tan Dongbang would still be the acting prime minister. His Cabinet would still be the acting cabinet and would only be a transitional government organization waiting for a new prime minister to be elected.
So at this time, Tan Dongbang still had a lot of power. Of course, he was still inferior to the official prime minister.
Speaker Long felt that Tan Dongbang's image was no longer worthy of being prime minister. He didn't want him to attend any national events because he didn't want others to see him embarrass the Hua Xia Empire.
But from a legal perspective, Tan Dongbang's position as acting prime minister was secure.
Hong Kangquan insisted on seeing Tan Dongbang, so the staff member thought about it and chose to call the Senate first.
But at this time, Speaker Long and Special Assistant Zhuang were nervously arranging the reception of the German Chancellor and the Director of the Federal Intelligence Agency, so they didn't have time to answer the phone.
The staff member who was guarding Hong Kangquan only managed to make a call to a small operator in the Senate Secretariat before he stopped.
The staff member saw that neither Speaker Long nor Special Assistant Zhuang had time to answer the phone, so he didn't want to spread such important news. He could only leave a message and ask Special Assistant Zhuang to call him when he had time.
Then, according to Hong Kangquan's request, he called Prime Minister Tan of the Cabinet.
Tan Dongbang happened to be in his office, so he personally took the call after his secretary transferred the call.
As soon as he heard the staff member say that Hong Kangquan had a way to find the Pink Piggy, Tan Dongbang immediately stood up. "What?! Is what he said true?! "
"What Director Hong said is absolutely true." The staff member's attitude towards Hong Kangquan was much more polite. What if Hong Kangquan suddenly made a comeback?
Tan Dongbang thought about it and said suspiciously, "If he can find it, then let him. Why me? I'm not the Pink Piggy. "
The employee relayed Tan Dongbang's words to Hong Kangquan.
Hong Kangquan silently cursed Tan Dongbang for not knowing what was good for him, but he still said patiently, "Ask Prime Minister Tan to come over when he's free. I have something to say to him in person."
Tan Dongbang originally didn't want to get involved in this mess, but when he thought of his current situation where his life was hanging by a thread, he chose to make a last attempt. What if he was a blind cat and ran into a dead mouse?
It wasn't like this hadn't happened before.
As Tan Dongbang thought about it, he packed his briefcase and had someone prepare a car to go to the place where Hong Kangquan was being held.
As the acting Prime Minister, Tan Dongbang was the symbol of the head of state, so he still had a lot of authority.
The staff member who was holding Hong Kangquan checked the relevant regulations and finally had no choice but to let Tan Dongbang in.
When he arrived at the guest room, Tan Dongbang saw that Hong Kangquan was already waiting there.
He sat down across from him and said calmly, "Director Hong, you better have something to say. Otherwise, don't waste our time. "
Hong Kangquan nodded. "Prime Minister Tan, I only have one thing to say. As long as you support me in finding the Pink Piggy, you can officially become the Prime Minister from the acting position."
"What did you say?!" Tan Dongbang's expression instantly changed. "Hong Kangquan, don't talk nonsense!"
His heart was pounding, but he hoped that Hong Kangquan would refute him and tell him that he had a way to continue being the Prime Minister!
Hong Kangquan laughed when he saw Tan Dongbang's reaction. "Prime Minister Tan, whether or not I'm talking nonsense depends on whether or not you give me this opportunity."
Tan Dongbang's expression fluctuated for a long time before he finally made up his mind and asked Hong Kangquan, "What opportunity do you want me to give you?"
"Use your Prime Minister privilege to let me out first. Then give me the authorization to go to the Special Operations Forces and find the 27 people who participated in the cyberwar that night to go to my Secret Service for questioning. "Hong Kangquan's eyes were bloodthirsty and excited.
This was what he had wanted to do that night, but because of Speaker Long's indecision, he had failed at the last step.
However, he hadn't been wrong. The expert who had been giving him pointers really did have a way to turn things around!
Tan Dongbang's Prime Minister privilege could indeed be used once.
However, it was usually only used when he stepped down from office.
It wouldn't be difficult to let Hong Kangquan out of here, and he didn't even need to use his Prime Minister privilege. However, it would be extremely difficult to find people from the Special Operations Forces to go to the Secret Service for questioning. He would probably need to use his Prime Minister privilege.
Tan Dongbang's eyes flickered. "The Prime Minister privilege can only be used once in a single term. Director Hong, this request of yours is a bit too much … "
"Whether it's too much or not depends on the returns. If the returns are high, then what's all this? "Hong Kangquan said proudly. He didn't seem at all like someone who was being detained.
"I still can't think of what this has to do with my election. In a few days, I won't even be the acting Prime Minister anymore, so I won't be able to help you. "Tan Dongbang asked slyly. He was completely in a state where he wouldn't release the eagle until he saw the rabbit.
Hong Kangquan laughed. Tan Dongbang was obviously attracted by his conditions and was still resisting stubbornly and with great difficulty.
"Prime Minister Tan, if you can handle this matter, you might be elected again!" Hong Kangquan said very enthusiastically. "Think about it. If I can find the 'Pink Piggy,' you will be able to receive the support of the United States and Germany. It will be beneficial for the election!"
Tan Dongbang's eyes narrowed imperceptibly. "But there seems to be opposition from the people in the Hua Xia Empire?"
Currently, all the major social media platforms were controlled by the public's leading party, and the silent majority had suppressed their desire to speak up.
However, there was no lack of unyielding people who had expressed opposition from the very beginning.
"It's normal to have opposition. It's abnormal to be completely in favor of it. " Hong Kangquan understood very well. "But as long as I find the 'Pink Piggy,' and hand her over to the Americans and Germans, this lawsuit will be canceled. We won't have to pay exorbitant compensation either, and we'll save the country and the military a lot of money. Everyone will thank us. "
"With this kind of achievement, when the time comes, we can use it to promote it in the media. Don't you think your chances will be much better?"
