Me! Cleaner!

Chapter 431 Harmonious Meeting (Part 2)

The most important time has arrived!

The Minister of Finance and Joshua were not the only ones who were tense. When they heard Lyon mention the "personnel adjustment proposal sent by the military department," everyone in the huge main hall knew that three days ago, the princess was blocked by a large number of non-commissioned officers. Everyone in the official residence held their breath.

Regarding Princess Veronica's reforms in recent years, although the old nobles have suffered a lot, most of them can only be regarded as "skimming" and "little troubles" without damaging the fundamentals.

But this time the non-commissioned officer replacement order is different. Although this proposal does not directly go to the root and denies the legitimacy of noble status, if it is passed, it will be like a kick in the legs for many old nobles. , From now on, I can only walk on one foot and lose most of my right to speak in front of the royal family.

According to the process of the two houses of parliament in the Kingdom, the upper house plays a very high proportion in "legislation". Once this proposal is passed by the upper house, the lower house can only make detailed revisions. No matter how delayed, it will be implemented bit by bit, and there will be no room for maneuver.

Therefore, what the Acting Speaker is going to say next will almost determine the future of the old aristocratic group, and even the entire kingdom. It is the most important proposal in the kingdom in the past century, and it may even be the only one!

"Haha, it seems that everyone knows what I am going to say next."

Under the gaze of a thousand pairs of eyes that were either nervous, expectant, worried, or excited, Leon first raised his head and looked around the main hall, then slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and suddenly raised his voice!

"Today, the first proposal that all members need to vote on is the order to abolish the military guards! Those who object can speak!"

"I object!"

When Leon was just halfway through what he said, the middle-aged man who stood up for the second time and denounced the princess's reform as a betrayal of the Kingdom's code stood up and roared with a red face:

"This is absolute chaos! Guards at the military headquarters must not... Guards?"

"Yes, doorman."

Leon on the main stage nodded, smiled and replied:

“The first bill that all members of Congress need to vote on is the proposal to abolish the Military Department of Health.

Your Excellency, the Minister of Defense, believes that it is enough for the military to have non-commissioned officers and patrolling guards, and there is no need to establish a separate security department. He wants to abolish it to save money... Is there anyone else who, like Mr. Morley, opposes the abolition of security guards in the military? "

“…”

ah? Isn’t the order to replace non-commissioned officers up for a vote?

After hearing the words of the Acting Speaker, the MPs in the main hall were all stunned, and then they quickly began to look through the proposal sheets on their desks.

Sure enough, among the thick pile of proposals marked with the military department's mark, there was indeed one...one-sixth of a piece of paper that mentioned the order to abolish the guard.

It's just that the matter is so insignificant that it doesn't even deserve to occupy a separate piece of paper. It's just two lines of words mixed in with "other miscellaneous items", so no one even has any impression.

But if you think about it carefully, this trivial order to abolish the guards is indeed submitted by the military department. Regarding the proposal on personnel adjustment, the Acting Speaker is not a lie.

only…

…

"puff…"

Seeing Marquis Morley standing up from his seat indignantly, and just about to take the lead in issuing a counter-offensive order to replace non-commissioned officers, but he was so angry that he lit mosquito coils, a low sullen laugh could not help but erupted from the seats on both sides of the main stage. .

And those enemies who had problems with Marquis Morley, as well as the congressmen who were not officially present but only qualified to observe, laughed out loud. For a time, the entire main hall was filled with a happy atmosphere.

"Isn't there anyone else who has expressed his opinion? It seems that the only person who thinks that the military department guards are very important and cannot be abolished is Mr. Morley."

After the congressmen had laughed enough, Leon on the main stage picked up the small silver hammer, struck the small golden bell with a clang, and said with a smile:

"One hundred and sixty-seven to one, the motion to abolish the Military Security Bureau has been passed. This motion will be sent to the House of Commons later, and the House of Commons will add details and implement it... Sir Morley, please sit down."

“…”

Got fooled!

Amid the laughter that was being tried to cover up or unbridled laughter around him, the middle-aged congressman's face, which was already flushed due to nervousness, immediately turned two shades darker, looking a little purple.

When Marquis Morley, whose face turned the color of pig liver from suppressing his emotions, sat down, Lyon nodded to him, then looked at him with murderous eyes, smiled and said:

"Sorry, I just made a little joke with you, now it's time to get down to business." When he said this, Leon's expression became slightly solemn, and then he struck the small golden bell with a hammer, and said with a sincere face:

“Next, what everyone needs to vote on is the most important proposal submitted by the military department this time.

Whether this replacement can be carried forward will determine the future of the military department, and even the entire kingdom, and whether many non-commissioned officers can wear their original clothes. "

It seems that this time there is really a replacement order for sergeants.

Seeing Lyon's extremely solemn expression, the expressions of the members of the House of Representatives also became serious, sitting upright and waiting to participate in the vote.

"I declare."

After jokingly glancing at Marquis Morley, who was sitting on his right and looked like he might jump up at any moment, Lyon said loudly under the gaze of countless members of Parliament:

"The second proposal to be reviewed today is the uniform replacement order for military non-commissioned officers! Please vote!"

After hearing the three keywords of "Military Headquarters", "Non-commissioned Officer" and "Replacement Order", Marquis Morley, who had just failed to lead the charge and jumped into the ditch, stood up again, and then...

He sat back down with a bang.

"Puff"

"Ahahaha!"

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Although His Excellency the Marquis reacted much faster than last time and sat back before even opening his mouth, he didn't say anything, but it seemed like he had said everything.

Faced with Marquis Morley, who fell for the same trick twice and jumped up on his chair like a spring, even those who were in the same camp as him couldn't help laughing this time.

"Your Excellency, Acting Speaker!"

After biting his cheek hard and suppressing the smile on his face due to the pain, the finance minister sitting on the side of the main stage stood up and demanded with a serious face:

"It's enough to make a joke once. Today's agenda is very tight. Please put these unimportant issues aside and deal with the more critical proposals first!"

"Uh-huh."

Lyon responded perfunctorily, then struck the small bell with a hammer, and said to the congressmen in the audience with a smile:

"Then we will proceed to the third vote. This time we will vote on the proposal submitted by the Military Ministry.

This proposal still affects many non-commissioned officers and determines whether they can still have their original bowl of rice. Like the previous two proposals, it will have a profound impact on the future of the kingdom..."

Got it, they’re just playing tricks on us again.

After hearing this extremely familiar vague description, the members of the House of Representatives in the audience naturally did not fall for the third time and started to flip through the documents at hand.

Sure enough, there were three lines of words below the "proposal to abolish the janitors", which was the "proposal to expand the food budget". The description of the impact was completely consistent, and it was 100% bullshit.

As the saying goes, you can do it once or twice, but not over and over again.

Faced with the answer that was literally displayed on his face, even the most irritable Marquis Morley no longer tensed up. Instead, he leaned on the back of the chair with his arms folded, looking at Lyon on the main stage with a sullen face, preparing to Wait for him to continue talking nonsense, but...

"Non-commissioned officer replacement order, please vote...87654321."

It only took 0.35 seconds to count down the seconds in a blur. With a confused look on the face of a member of the House of Representatives, Lyon directly rounded the small silver hammer and smashed the small golden clock next to him with a bang, knocking down all the bells. The words he wanted to stop were drowned in the sound of the bell.

"There is no objection, the non-commissioned officer replacement order is passed."
