Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 715 - 668 Midnight Tryst

The ball ended perfectly.

At least for the guests who participated in the ball, and for Perfikot as the host of the ball.

Perfikot sent out her well-prepared bidding scheme through the ball, conveying her own will; while the guests who participated in the ball obtained information that was extremely important to them.

It can be said that both parties gained satisfactory rewards for themselves.

This is undoubtedly something worth celebrating. Thus, when the ball was over, there were still quite a few guests lingering on, gathering with those they knew or had common interests with to discuss something.

However, Perfikot did not bother with these matters. Slightly tipsy, she returned to the hotel's exclusive room to prepare for a good rest.

"It seems I really shouldn't drink, to the point I didn't realize right away that there was an extra person in the room." Sitting down on the sofa, Perfikot looked towards the floor-to-ceiling window: "Come out, I've already seen your feet."

"Alright, it seems the recent political life has dulled my skills." A voice very familiar to Perfikot spoke, then emerged from behind the curtains.

"I didn't expect the Deputy Prime Minister of the Empire to come to my room on such a charming night. Are you here to rendezvous with me?" Perfikot said teasingly, with a smile tinged with a bit of drunkenness on her face.

Though not exactly bleary-eyed, Perfikot, lazily sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, looked like a graceful big cat, casting curious glances at the person in front of her.

Being gazed at by Perfikot in such a way, Kallen couldn't help but show a bit of bashfulness.

She and Perfikot were both women, and as Perfikot mentioned, it was a 'midnight rendezvous,' which made it hard for Kallen not to let her thoughts wander.

But she also understood that Perfikot was just amusing herself with her.

So Kallen didn't dwell on the matter further, and after taking a seat in front of Perfikot, she spoke: "I came to find you regarding the bidding for the air battleship."

This matter is currently the largest in the Victor Empire, not only affecting the economic development and political landscape of the entire Northern Territory but also concerning the future of the entire Victor Empire.

So, whether in her capacity as Deputy Prime Minister or as the leader of the Workers' Federation, Kallen had a compelling reason to meet with Perfikot for a proper discussion.

"In what capacity are you coming to discuss this matter with me?" Perfikot leaned her whole body sideways on the sofa, supporting her chin with her hand: "Friend? Political rival? Or something else?

Different identities bring different positions, and the answer I give you will vary accordingly!"

Upon hearing Perfikot say this, Kallen's expression became slightly more serious, and she said straightforwardly to Perfikot: "I am here as a like-minded comrade to discuss this matter with you. I want to inquire about what role the Workers' Federation should play in this project."

"I think what you want to ask is not this, but whether the Workers' Federation should participate in this project, and what position it will hold in the upcoming five-year economic development plan, right?" Perfikot shifted to a more comfortable position, looking at Kallen with a playful gaze: "You are now the leader of the Workers' Federation and the Deputy Prime Minister of the Empire. From any identity, you should have your own thoughts on this issue, rather than just asking me."

"I know, but I still hope to hear your opinion, because this matter greatly impacts the Workers' Federation." Kallen showed a hint of vulnerability on her face and honestly said to Perfikot: "Thanks to your assistance, the Workers' Federation was able to enter the political arena ahead of time, marking a brand-new stage for the entire Federation's cause.

While the comrades are excited and encouraged by this, they also view it as a severe test, believing that any slight mistake could render all the achievements we've obtained to date null and void.

Thus, in recent days, quite a few comrades have fallen into confusion and wavering. They ponder why, if we can enter the political arena through elections, we previously needed to seize power through violent revolution?

Now that we have secured some power, and visibly in the future, the Workers' Federation will gain more power, possibly even having the chance to take control of the Empire's authority. Should we still adhere to our original revolutionary path?

These questions have never been encountered before, nor pondered, and the comrades' confusion requires guidance."

Kallen earnestly sought assistance from Perfikot.

These issues have been under serious consideration by her during these days, yet perhaps due to her insufficient ability and talent, or lack of experience and vision, she has been unable to devise how to respond to the new situation ahead.

"It seems you are somewhat confused, aren't you?" Perfikot looked at Kallen and asked.

Although it was phrased as a question, Perfikot's attitude was very certain.

Kallen couldn't help but nod; she was indeed very confused.

"I think you need to clarify one thing, that is, workers as representatives of the proletariat will ultimately replace those capitalists and nobles." Perfikot finally sat up, her expression growing more serious: "This is the first principle I taught you, and something I hope you will always keep in mind. But it seems now you are somewhat doubtful of it?

However, this can also be understood, given the current you are an Imperial Deputy Prime Minister of a feudal monarchy, regarded as a high-ranking figure among the nobility and capitalists.

But you need to understand one thing, you are able to secure this position because I have been influencing all these behind the scenes, and it can even be said that I brought you to this position single-handedly.

This is not the result obtained through your struggle, but a gift from me.

I can at any time pull you down from this position, or in other words, this is not the revolutionary fruit you obtained.

So don't harbor undue expectations about it, but instead, further clarify your determination and belief in struggle."

Perfikot spoke here with some degree of sternness and frustration at their lack of progress.

However, she also did not overly demand Kallen, and soon adopted a different tone: "Of course, the reason I pushed you into this position is more about hoping you change your way of struggle, to avoid bloodshed and sacrifice, there is no need to sacrifice the valuable lives of comrades if it can be avoided.

Moreover, the current environment does not permit you to launch a revolution to overthrow the entire Victor Empire, as doing so would only cause the situation that humanity has just stabilized to become turbulent again, with many dying as a result."
