Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 490 The Unexpected
The venue is very large, after all, there are more than 1 seats to be set up.

Seeing Lin Feng walk into the venue, Lin Xiaoting was not happy either.If possible, he is willing to replace Lin Feng to face those tricky congressmen.However, he couldn't do it, because only Lin Feng was qualified to enter this hall, and only Lin Feng was qualified to stand on the podium to speak.

"She is still too young to shoulder responsibilities that do not commensurate with her age."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoting turned his head, only then did he see Yu Linglong who had approached, and sized her up carefully.It wasn't because Yu Linglong was pretty, but because Lin Xiaoting didn't notice when she approached.You know, Lin Xiaoting is one of the most powerful existences in the third theater.Not to mention that Yu Linglong wasn't a real warrior, even if she was, she couldn't appear behind Lin Xiaoting silently.

"Chief of Staff, stay safe."

"Now, should I call you Chief Manager of the Yu Family?"

"The chief of staff is laughing." Yu Linglong smiled sweetly, not taking Lin Xiaoting's words seriously. "Actually, there's nothing to worry about."

Lin Xiaoting was taken aback for a moment, and heard Yu Linglong's implication.

Of course, Lin Xiaoting is very aware of Yu Linglong's background, and also knows something about the Yu family.

If it is said that the Yu family has always kept a low profile and there are not many people who know the details of the Yu family, then after the war broke out, the Yu family gradually surfaced.Even for ordinary people, the Yu family is still a mysterious existence, but for high-ranking generals like Lin Xiaoting, the Yu family is no longer a secret.Not long ago, members of the Yu family approached Lin Xiaoting and offered to provide unconditional support for the third theater.Although Lin Xiaoting didn't take it seriously at the time, soon after, Zhan Ruilin found him personally and asked him to come forward to negotiate cooperation with the Yu family.It was at this time that Lin Xiaoting had a more comprehensive understanding of the Yu family.

Obviously, Lin Xiaoting did not dare to underestimate Yu Linglong, a woman who looked very weak.

The deeper the cooperation with the Yu family, the more afraid Lin Xiaoting felt about this hermit family.

Among other things, more than half of the daily military supplies needed by the third war zone come from the Yu family, or from companies closely related to the Yu family.In addition, a large part of the weapons and equipment purchased by the third theater came from the Yu family, and almost all the weapons and equipment were related to the Yu family.To put it simply, the arms enterprises directly managed and operated by the Ministry of Military Affairs undertake most of the production tasks of weapons and equipment, which is tantamount to monopolizing the arms industry. Only a large part of the parts and components required for the production of these weapons and equipment have to be obtained from private enterprises. The purchases are mainly from direct management of the Yu family, or private enterprises secretly controlled by the Yu family.If the Yu family terminates its cooperation with the military department, unless the federal authorities issue a bill to take over private companies, all the arms companies managed by the military department will have to stop working.It's just that it is definitely not easy to take over private enterprises. Even in times of war, it is impossible for the military to do anything wrong.The key point is that the military department also has to abide by the laws issued by the federal parliament, and in the federal parliament, there must be many members who have unusual relationships with the Yu family.

After Yu Linglong said such words, Lin Xiaoting felt more at ease.

To put it bluntly, as long as the Yu family is willing to come forward, even if the federal parliament cannot pass a bill that is beneficial to the military, Lin Feng will not be embarrassed.

"You didn't come here to say this to me, did you?"

"Why, the chief of staff isn't even in the mood for small talk?"

"Is this a place to chat?"

Yu Linglong smiled lightly, and said: "Many people say that the chief of staff is serious, but now it seems that the rumors are true."

"If you have anything to say, just say it directly." Lin Xiaoting took a deep breath and said, "Actually, we don't need to beat around the bush here, right?"

"Since the Chief of Staff said so, I won't talk nonsense anymore." Yu Linglong paused for a moment before saying, "I have received news that the Star Soul Empress is about to lead the Weaving Star Clan army to the home galaxy, and several The civilization that the Star Clan is friendly with has also sent reinforcements. As far as I know, the federal authorities have made a decision before. Star Clan alliance. That's why Marshal Zhan Ruilin sent Yang Yi to meet the Star Soul Queen. I want to clarify a problem. After the Star Soul Queen arrives, the federal authorities will fulfill their promises, and Marshal Zhan Ruilin will support and follow her. Is the Weaving Star Clan allied?"

"Is this the problem?"

Yu Linglong smiled faintly, waiting for Lin Xiaoting to reply.

"The great enemy is at present. For us, the most important thing to pay attention to now is not who to form an alliance with, but how to defeat the raging and powerful enemy."

"I didn't expect that the chief of staff would smooth things over."

"Although your Yu family has always supported us, you should also know that there are some things that cannot be said casually."

"So the Chief of Staff thinks he knows more than I do?"

"you……"

"Actually, the Chief of Staff is right. This is really not a problem. But, we all know that during the last Greenwich War, Marshal Zhan Ruilin had an extraordinary relationship with the Heavenly Sage Emperor, and now he has to deal with the Weaving Star Clan." Forming an alliance must not be an easy task."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"I just want to know the attitude of the chief of staff."

Lin Xiaoting was slightly taken aback, and said: "I am a federal soldier, and it is my attitude to defend the Human Federation and eliminate all enemies that threaten the Human Federation."

"Nothing else?"

"Why, do you think..."

"That statement from the chief of staff is enough."

"you……"

"The chief of staff is a busy man, so I won't bother you much."

"Wait!" Lin Xiaoting stopped Yu Linglong and said, "You know so much, do you know why Yang Yi didn't come back with Lin Feng?"

"To be honest, I really don't know about this matter. Maybe they had a quarrel, so Yang Yi didn't come back."

Lin Xiaoting was taken aback for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, Yu Linglong had already gone far away.Of course, Lin Xiaoting knew that Yu Linglong was trying to play him off.

Obviously, Yu Linglong knew the reason why Yang Yi didn't come back.

Just when Lin Xiaoting was hesitating whether to catch up with Yu Linglong and ask her for clarification, the venue erupted in applause and cheers.

Not long after, Lin Feng came out accompanied by a group of MPs.

Seeing Lin Feng's expression, Lin Xiaoting knew it in his heart.Maybe the result is not the best, but it is certainly not the worst.

Of course, this is not the place to talk.

Lin Xiaoting immediately went up to meet him, and the accompanying staff officer also went to prepare the vehicle.

It was as expected by Lin Xiaoting, but his prediction was not bold enough.Right at the beginning, after Lin Feng's speech, the parliament voted.Nearly half of the parliamentarians of the colonial galaxy changed their position and passed a bill that is extremely beneficial to war mobilization, that is, granting the federal authority the right to make war decisions.

Obviously, this result was far beyond Lin Xiaoting's expectations.

You know, the significance of this bill goes far beyond the mandatory conscription law that the federal authorities are fighting for.

After this bill came into force, the federal authority became the highest decision-making body of the human federation, which equaled to obtaining all wartime privileges including legislation.Within the next five years, all executive orders issued by federal authorities have the force of law.After five years, the federal parliament will vote again to decide whether to extend the authorization period.According to the situation of several previous wars, as long as the war is not over, the federal parliament will extend the authorization period, and usually for five years, that is, to allow the federal authorities to obtain five more years of privileges.Only before the end of the war, that is, when the hope of victory has been seen, the Federal Parliament will withdraw the authorization.

It can be said that this bill means that the Human Federation has truly entered a state of war.

After the bill takes effect, federal authorities will be able to enforce mandatory conscription by issuing an executive order, even if it is only valid for the next five years.

Obviously, what the Federal Parliament has made is not just a concession, but a comprehensive compromise.

While surprised, Lin Xiaoting was also puzzled.

How can Lin Fenghede actually make those councilors of the colonial galaxy change their positions?

You must know that even if Zhan Ruilin came forward in person, it might not be able to make those stubborn congressmen make concessions, and it would only make the situation worse.

However, Lin Xiaoting did not ask Lin Feng.

No matter what happened in the council, Lin Feng must be under a lot of pressure. If you ask her directly, you may not get the answer you want.

Lin Xiaoting didn't know what was going on until he returned to the guest house in the third war zone.

In the parliament, Lin Feng did not follow what he said before, taking the invading enemy as the entry point and protecting the common homeland of mankind as the main position to persuade those parliamentarians who colonized the galaxy, but told a story, a not so vivid one, but A story that everyone can hear.

That is, while the congressmen of the Human Federation were arguing with each other, Yang Yi had already led an army composed of civilians to the Beacon Mars, and recaptured the Beacon Mars. Fight to the death.

Of course, this story has different meanings to different people.

For those Colonial System Senators who had previously turned against the Federation, this story had deep implications.To put it simply, Yang Yi is commanding an army composed of civilians, and the federal authorities, the military department, and the third war zone have not expressed any objection to this.In other words, Yang Yi's act of forming a civilian armed force has been recognized by the federal authorities, at least with tacit approval.In other words, if the administrations of other colonial systems also form civilian armed forces, then the federal authorities have no reason to object.Obviously, what Yang Yi has done has broken the stereotypes, which is equivalent to opening a new path and pointing out the direction for the colonization of the galaxy.

That being the case, why should it be serious with the federal authorities in terms of military power?
What's more, because the home system is under siege, the federal authorities can't control the colony system.After the arrival of reinforcements, it will only be a matter of time before the army of silicon demons besieging the home galaxy is defeated, and the federal authorities will regain the ability to govern the colonial galaxy.If this opportunity is missed, there is nothing left.To put it simply, the colonial galaxy can seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity by ending the disputes in the Federation Parliament as soon as possible.
