Chapter 2695 The Political Ideals of the Moderates and the Future of the Ghost Soldier Team!
Everyone instinctively turned to look.
A black luxury sedan was parked on the side of the road.
The car logo is still a silver five-pointed cross.
This indicates that it is the exclusive vehicle for world government officials.
In many cases, they have a higher right-of-way priority.
A man wearing a sharp suit with a slightly high hairline.
A middle-aged man with a professional smile on his face.
He strode in, accompanied by two black-clad attendants wearing sunglasses.
His demeanor was completely out of place among these ronin samurai.
It exudes a sense of competence and order that comes from being within the system.
"Nice to meet you. I am Phil Coulson, Director of the Executive Department of the World Government."
Coulson walked up to the group, bowed slightly, and politely presented his business card.
His gaze then swept over everyone present, a subtle scrutinizing quality in his eyes.
"Takasugi Shinsuke, Katsura Kotaro, Kawagami Mansai, Kurushima Matako, Takeichi Benheita"
"Oh, and this Mr. Kuroko no Taisuke."
“You are considered ‘talented’ here.”
Takasugi Shinsuke glanced at them coldly: "The World Government officials probably don't want to take us back again, do they?"
He had already noticed that the two men in black behind the other party possessed extraordinary auras.
Even the guy in front of me gave me a strange feeling.
"No, no, no, you've misunderstood."
Coulson maintained that endearing smile.
"I wonder if you all know that the shogunate and the general here are now history."
"For those who have lost their purpose in the midst of societal change but possess exceptional talent."
"The world government has always been welcoming."
Coulson spread his hands and asked earnestly:
"You patriots who are determined to expel the barbarians, what are you planning to do next?"
His question struck right to the core.
The six people present fell into a brief silence.
Yes, the war is over, and the enemy is gone.
Even the corrupt shogunate was replaced by a new behemoth.
Those celestial beings will also be subject to the control of the world government.
What should become of these remnants of the old era?
"Therefore, we hope to invite you to join the World Government."
Coulson pressed his advantage: "Based on the assessment of your abilities, you are welcome to join any department."
“We can immediately arrange to go to Starfish, grant Starfish citizenship, allocate housing, and allow them to enjoy various welfare benefits.”
"Please believe me, starfish is the broadest stage for capable and talented people."
Katsura Kotaro was the first to snap out of his reverie.
He glanced at Takasugi and Kuroko, then looked at Coulson.
Those eyes, which usually had a somewhat silly look, were unusually clear at this moment.
"This is Lord Coulson."
"please say."
"If I join the world government"
Gui paused, then his tone became serious: "I hope to enter politics and become a civil servant like you."
"But not doing that kind of work, but being an administrative official who has access to the system."
"Oh?"
Now it was Coulson's turn to be surprised; he had looked at the other party's information before coming.
One of the leaders of the anti-foreign patriots.
He used to enjoy using bombs, was a master swordsman, an escape artist, and skilled in disguise.
He originally thought the other party would choose to join the army or the police.
At worst, he could go to the Imperial Swordsmanship Academy to continue studying swordsmanship.
"Are you sure?"
Gui looked up at the azure sky, as if she could see the voice and face of someone who had passed away.
"Teacher Songyang once taught me."
"A true warrior does not sacrifice himself for his beliefs, but lives for them."
Gui gently stroked the hilt of the sword at her waist, but showed no intention of drawing it.
“In the past, I was similar to Takasugi, believing that only through violent revolution and overthrowing the shogunate could this country be saved.”
"But as I experienced more things later on, these extreme thoughts gradually faded away."
"Now I believe that internal reforms can also make the country better and more beautiful."
"If a world government truly possesses the power to change the world."
"Then I want to be involved myself."
"For example, becoming mayor can help improve the city's order."
"Or join the work of making fair laws."
At this point, Katsura turned her head to look at Takasugi and Kuroko, her eyes filled with relief.
"I no longer want to cause destruction; I'd rather try to build something and contribute to peace."
Takasugi snorted coldly, turned his head away, and mocked without any politeness:
"Hmph, you're still so naive, wig."
"You actually want to become a lackey of those big shots!"
"It's not a wig, it's laurel, and the impact of changing the world from within the system will certainly be greater than any other method!"
Gui retorted earnestly: "That's also my political ideal as a 'moderate'!"
Indeed, in the 'future' of the 'original timeline,' he chose to enter politics.
And eventually replaced the shogunate and the general.
He became the first prime minister of the new government of Gintama Star.
It not only successfully reformed a corrupt system that had lasted for nearly a thousand years.
They also reached the pinnacle of officialdom along this 'path'.
As a 'patriot to expel foreigners,' he did far better than Gintoki, Takasugi, Tatsuma, Kuroko, and others.
The key evidence is that Gui indeed possesses exceptional political talent.
As Coulson listened, the surprise in his eyes gradually turned into admiration.
He extended his hand and said solemnly, "Mr. Gui, your awareness is admirable."
"The world government really needs people like you who have ideals, ambitions, and a willingness to dedicate themselves to public affairs."
On behalf of the administration department, I warmly welcome you to be my colleague!
Then Coulson turned to look at Takasugi Shinsuke, whose attitude was the worst.
And the three officers of the Ghost Soldier Team beside him.
"Then, Mr. Takasugi, and these gentlemen, with your combat talents, you would definitely shine if you joined 'Cipher-Pol' or the Ministry of Police."
"Especially Mr. Takasugi, if you used your intelligence and leadership skills to fight crime..."
"No need to discuss."
To his surprise, Takasugi interrupted him without any politeness.
A dangerous glint flashed in his single eye, and a wild smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"You want me to be a policeman? A secret agent? To maintain so-called order?"
"Don't joke around, I am Takasugi Shinsuke."
Shinsuke Takasugi is essentially an 'anti-establishment disruptor'.
They harbored a deep-seated aversion to government authorities.
Even if the Shogunate and the Shogun have disappeared, he could not possibly join the World Government.
Coulson's smile stiffened slightly, but Takasugi didn't seem to care.
"I just have one question."
"If I don't join you, does that mean I can't go to that place called Starfish?"
"If the answer is yes."
"Then I'll take these guys and go on a space adventure."
"Stay away from your World Government from now on."
Upon hearing this, Takeichi Henpeita, Kawakami Bansei, and Kurushima Matako immediately stood behind Takasugi, demonstrating their unwavering loyalty.
Coulson sighed: "Given that you have all been rated as 'talented'."
“Especially Mr. Takasugi, you, like Mr. Katsura and Mr. Kuroko, belong to the B-level talent category.”
“Even without joining a government department, one is eligible to obtain citizenship.”
"but."
Coulson then changed the subject: "If you don't accept the recruitment and join a government department, you won't receive any bonuses, housing allocations, or other benefits."
"In other words, once you arrive at Starfish, you'll have to rely on yourself for everything."
"Just to my liking."
Upon hearing this, Takasugi laughed instead, his smile filled with confidence and wildness.
"Just being able to go there and meet that bastard Gintoki is enough."
As for how we'll live from now on...
He turned to look at his three subordinates.
"I will make the Ghost Soldier Team's name known throughout the starfish."
"Although I haven't decided exactly what to do yet."
"We'll see what happens then."
