Him and their stars

As soon as this proposal came out, there was a moment of embarrassing silence in the Congress. The congressmen were either shrinking their necks, looking at each other, or looking away. They were all like junior high school students who had escaped from late night study and went out to play games but were caught by the dean.

It is understandable, this is the legendary impeachment after all.

You know, it has been 70 years since the founding of the community, and no one has turned on this function yet.

What's more, in the past few years that President Nikita has been in office, he has enjoyed high support from the civilian, military and business circles, and his control over Congress is still very strong. Before the Cirke Kingdom surrendered, he even still acted as the perfect war leader.

...Well, even in the past month or so since the Circassian Kingdom surrendered and the "Western Gate" of the community was lost, the president has rarely appeared in front of the public and has not been to Congress a few times. He seems to be very mysterious. But because of this, he didn't make any wrong decisions, and his prestige seemed to still exist.

If the imperial army hadn't all reached Terra, a member of the House of Representatives here would really not be able to say such a thing.

However, if the silence continues, it will not only be embarrassing for the sponsors, but also for every member of Congress present. As a result, a member of the political party said: "In short, we cannot let down a dedicated national leader. However, our rights are also given by the voters, and we must not let down their trust. The people are suffering, and we should really consider it." How to end this war."

He paused for a moment, with an expression of extreme pain on his face, as if he had abandoned his child to trap a wolf: "No matter what method it is."

As for the old member of the Co-Prosperity Party, he seemed to be infected by the pain. He wiped away the tears that had been squeezed out of the corners of his eyes: "Yes, at critical times, extreme things need to be done. I will bear the blame." ...Although I really want to say this, I am too virtuous to do such a thing.”

"Can Mr. Mao please come out and support the overall situation?" someone behind him said. This is a very rare opinion with a little bit of information.

"Indeed, if it is that adult, we will have a backbone."

"Yes, if he... he would at least have some face with the empire. I heard that even the emperor appreciated the old man very much."

"But, isn't that old man... the old man retired?"

"He is a lifelong member of Congress and a lifelong honorary speaker of the community. He is a founding father protected by the Constitution. There must be spaces when writing his name in official documents. If you don't call me Sir, you should also call me Your Excellency! Show me some respect!"

Although the Co-Prosperity Party and political allies will inevitably have tit-for-tat rhetoric, at least they have reached a consensus on the general direction.

MPs from the People’s Choice Party still dare not speak out. Even the few radicals who usually like to scold Mao Yuanzuo as a national traitor are like silent clay sculptures.

It's certainly not surprising that they would react this way. There was a time when the People's Choice Party prided itself on radical "patriotism" and nationalism, and it was common for it to utter vulgar words against the empire in public. If the Imperial Army really occupied the Earth, they might be the ones who would be liquidated miserably.

Now, they really don't know what to do other than mechanically follow their colleagues in Congress.

In this way, the members of the three major parties in Congress reached a consensus in such an indescribable way, and decided to invite that legendary figure, who was an evergreen figure in the political arena of the same era as Marshal Li, to come. Take charge of the overall situation.

As for what the overall situation is, in fact, they themselves can’t tell clearly.

But this is really not a big deal. If you can’t figure it out yourself, you can ask Mr. Mao to figure it out.

Now that they had decided what to do next, the councilors felt that today's work was a complete success, so they dispersed spontaneously. They were so turbulent when they gathered together, and so turbulent when they retreated. They came and went if they were not called. It was as spectacular as attending a temple fair.

The remaining Pioneer Party members were naturally stunned by such spectacular discipline.

They are all representatives of workers and peasants and progressive intellectuals. They have not been professional politicians for a long time. Indeed, they have never seen such a shameless development.

Of course, as an up-and-coming small party, the Pioneer Party only has five seats in Congress. The disadvantage is that they basically lack influence in Congress. Others regard them as insignificant spoilers at most and do not play with them no matter what. The advantage is that with fewer people and flexibility, it is easier to create cohesion and at the same time it has not been corroded. Lose.

As a result, the five Pioneer Party members did not leave the Congress hall immediately, but quickly gathered together to start a small meeting.

"Is it legal for Congress to act this way?"

“Members of all parties have united. Isn’t this what the Presidential Palace wants to see?”

"Indeed, we are a multi-party coalition government!"

"But the problem now is that we haven't even declared war with the empire, so how can we talk about an armistice?"

When someone raised this question, the members of the Pioneer Party couldn't help but look at each other and had nothing to say. For a moment, they just felt that the scene was full of absurd and surreal farce.

…What on earth are we doing? It is inevitable for everyone to be confused like this.

Once upon a time, they were still complacent about their titles and identities as congressmen, but now they just felt like vomiting when they were in the same room with these insects.

Finally, the most prestigious congressman on the scene made the decision: "Let's inform Mr. Bai and Ms. Edward about today's events first. They are cabinet ministers, so they have to be prepared."

"Minister Bai is not on Earth. He went to Xin Chang'an with Marshal Paris." Someone said.

Mr. Bai is the Minister of Labor. Since he is traveling with the Minister of Military Command, he will naturally see if he can squeeze out some more troops. However, this is completely a desperate measure.

As for Ms. Jessica Edward, although she is still on Earth, she is not in Eternal City, but is touring various places. Half a year ago, she had forced the government to pass a decree requiring all primary and secondary schools and kindergartens to build large enough shelters. Now, she is reviewing the construction progress of the project all over the Earth.

The most prestigious congressman said, "Then there is no need for us to stay in Yongheng City. Let's go back to our constituency."

His surname is Lei. He served in the army for ten years and served as the maintenance squad leader of the Marine Armored Forces. Later, he became the factory director of the heavy industrial base in the Great South Continent. He is the most prestigious worker leader within a thousand miles.

Needless to say, he is a very courageous person, but his whole person exudes an aura that is incompatible with the Congress.

Once such a person figures it out, his whole person exudes amazing vitality.

Seeing everyone looking at him in confusion, he said, "Now I know that arguing with people in Congress is unproductive and is a waste of life and time. Now that the imperial army is at the gates of the city, it is time to do something practical. Some of what that guy said is not wrong. Our power is given by the people, so we need to stand with the people. Everyone, go back to your respective constituencies immediately and organize the people. Whether it is production to save yourself or to protect the country and the people, someone needs to take the lead.

"If the imperial devils really come, even if it is really irreversible, we still need to negotiate with the invaders... strive to get a more relaxed condition for everyone. "

The silence lasted for nearly half a minute, and everyone nodded, and the atmosphere of dejection and confusion gradually dissipated. Of course, they were far from being high-spirited, but at least they knew that they still had those guests of practical matters, which was much better than those big party members who went to find a "backbone".

The professional politicians of Eternal City took action, and this peaceful city in the middle of the Pacific Ocean fell into a rare state of activity.

Although this activity is always accompanied by a bit of hysterical disorder, this is probably the fireworks of the big men.

At the same time, the meeting representing the highest power decision-making of the Blue Star Community also began. The meeting place is of course not the presidential palace, but a reinforced shelter somewhere deep underground.

The error-free version is reading! 6=9+Shu_Bar first published this novel.

President Keith Nishita sat in the main seat with a bloodless face like a corpse, and his whole temperament was as sluggish as a balloon with a hole in it. However, in comparison, the head of the community has performed quite well.

If he is wearing A zombie face, his cabinet members probably have the faces of corpses that have been fermenting on the frozen soil for twenty years. Behind those numb and empty eyes, it seems that they are all hollow bodies with their souls taken out, like a group of clumsy puppets.

...Well, not everyone is present. For example, Mr. Shawna, the president's best friend and chairman of the Interior Affairs Committee, went to the Solar System Security Command to take charge. Because the Imperial Fleet entered the Terra Star Region, the people of the Solar System felt the strength of the Empire's military force, and they began to let themselves go one by one.

In this way, The security of the entire star region naturally began to improve.

The Chairman of the Internal Affairs Committee cannot manage the security of the entire star region now, but the security of the solar system must be stabilized. Or, he can't stand the current atmosphere on Earth and would rather do something practical.

As for the two ministers of the Pioneer Party, their absence is perhaps what everyone is happy to see?

It's quiet without them, but I still have to deal with these pigs. A sense of resentment flashed through the President's heart.

"Everyone, we should make a decision. "Nishita's voice certainly sounded very calm. After all, he was a very dedicated professional politician who knew that he had to be calm, cool-headed, and show magnanimity and decency. More importantly, the calmer he was, the more he could conceal his true intentions and play the role of an arbitrator.

...By the way, what was his real intention?

The president was satisfied with his state. His voice still carried the reserve and calmness of an elite politician, as if he had been tempered with speech management. But he forgot that compared to his usual spirited and energetic self, his current performance was already very listless.

His eyes swept to the first person on his left, that was Vice President Hierro, the second in command of the community. Considering that he had established a so-called multi-party coalition government, Mr. Hierro might also be the most high-profile vice president since the founding of the community. He usually jumped up and down and showed off his power like a peacock.

But now, President Hierro's expression is like that of a broken plastic doll, and there is no luster on his cheeks that should be alive.

President Nishita suddenly felt a little relieved.

It's what he deserves! This is a person who is not worthy of his position! If it were the other alliance, how could the vice president go to the front line to chat and laugh with important generals? Since he is a spare tire mascot, he should be aware of this! Now you know the dialectical relationship between dancing happily and making a list, right?

He thought so in his heart, and said on the surface: "Vice President, what do you think?"

Vice President Hierro looked in the direction of the voice with empty eyes, and his eyes gradually regained focus. He calmed down and quickly suppressed the sudden malice.

This old dog! As the head of state, you don't say this first, but throw it to me, your deputy, first? Where is the responsibility and courage to bear the stigma of the country?

However, the president has spoken, and continuing to remain silent is not the right way to deal with it. So, after a short silence, the vice president made a mechanical voice: "We have no choice but to accept the Empire's request. From New Athens to Earth, we have no soldiers to defend, and we have no choice."

Old Defense Committee Chairman Maxell shook his head slowly. He was originally the oldest in this cabinet, and he had aged particularly badly in the two years since the war began. His body was already hunched, and the age spots on his face had become more and more conspicuous, and even his eyes began to be distracted. To be malicious, it would not be surprising if this old man died suddenly at any time.

However, at this time, the Defense Committee Chairman's eyes revealed a sharp look like a sword.

Vice President Yero subconsciously avoided the gaze, but then uttered an angry voice: "Mr. Chairman, isn't what I said true? Do you have an Aquarius that can be turned into a fleet?"

"Marshal Ferragu is returning to Earth, and he still has some fleets. And Marshal Paris, he is also running around, organizing the available forces. Our community..." The voice of the Defense Committee Chairman trembled with grief: "Vice President, we can't destroy the country built by Marshal Li because of a momentary cowardice. The founding fathers chose to resist because they were unwilling to kneel before the Dragon King. Can we..."

Vice President Yero's lips were hanging up. So, his expression suddenly changed from a rigid puppet to a lively clown mask, and a sharp voice came out of his mouth:

"Mr. Chairman, what you said is really beautiful! Have you forgotten who was the one who brought the expensive imperial gold foil tableware to my uncle's house and asked for the position of president of the Central National Defense University? At that time, you were still an ordinary major general, right? If you don't hold any important positions anymore, you have to retire and live a pension! Now, twenty years have passed, you are already the chairman of the National Defense Committee, and even the marshal has to salute you. Have you also forgotten who begged my uncle to join the Gongrong Party to engage in politics after retirement?

Mr. Maxell, don't play the image of a kind and honest elder in front of me anymore! You are essentially a vulgar speculative politician, and you even pretend to be a moon man with a tiger talisman in front of me. Oh, yes, you, the president of the National Defense University, are actually not even a moon man. Who dares to believe it?"

The scene was silent. No one expected that the second-in-command of the national government would be so disrespectful to mock and humiliate the highest military and political leader who was over 80 years old at the cabinet meeting.

He did not swear, but in terms of calculation and harshness, he was no different from a shrew scolding on the street.
