Chapter 542: Alliance Meeting
The next day, early morning.
The patriarchs of all major clans who were commanding the battle in the Bashu area have all left the battlefield and returned to the imperial capital to prepare to attend the alliance meeting this morning.
As for the final work in the Bashu area, it was uniformly handed over to the descendants of various major families to handle.
After all, the "new group" has been defeated, and there is no hostile force in the entire Bashu area. It is a bit unwise to spend the experience in Bashu at this time. It is better to return to the alliance headquarters of the imperial capital to fight for political interests.
"Haha, Brother Zhang, it's so early!"
"You are too early, you are too early!"
"I heard that your family confiscated a whole box of high-end energy blocks yesterday afternoon, which is really envious!"
"Hey~ Brother Zhou is really good at joking. Didn't your Zhou family also confiscated 10 boxes of intermediate energy blocks yesterday afternoon? We are each other~"
The two looked at each other and then made tacit laughs.
Such conversations sounded in every corner of the venue. It can be seen that after defeating the "new group" army, the major families have gained a lot, so they are in a very good mood.
"Hmph, I hope they can still laugh later."
In another corner of the venue, Fang Xinghuai looked at the clan leaders of the aristocratic families in front of him with a sneer on his face and said disdainfully.
The seats for this meeting were specially arranged, with Ma Mingda and his group being arranged on one side, while the seats of the clan leaders of the aristocratic family being arranged on the other side.
Therefore, Yunning was sitting next to Fang Xinghuai at this time.
As the principal of Ounan Military Academy, Yunning now has a very high status in the Ma Mingda team, so he is qualified to sit with Fang Xinghuai, Ma Mingda's confidant.
Looking at the tribe leaders of the aristocratic family in front of him, Yun Ning sneered in his heart:
"I really think that if I kill the 'new group', I can rest assured? Naive! The real war has just begun!"
"Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!"
At this moment, the bronze bell in the venue made a crisp sound, reminding all participants that the meeting was about to begin.
"Ahem."
As the chairman of the alliance, Ma Mingda naturally wanted to be the first to speak. Therefore, after clearing his throat, Ma Mingda spoke:
"Everyone, according to the information received by the Alliance, the 'New Group' that disrupted the southern provinces of the Celestial Empire in the past few years has been declared destroyed. The leader of the 'New Group' was unknown. His left guardian died in the army and the right guardian escaped in the battle. Therefore, the Alliance specially held today's meeting with you to discuss with you the aftermath of the war and set the tone for how those war criminals should be dealt with in this war."
"Now, I announce that the meeting has officially begun! Please express your opinions according to your previous seats."
"What else can I say?"
As soon as Ma Mingda finished speaking, he heard someone speak:
"The civilians in the 'new group' attempt to destroy the status quo of the Celestial Empire and set off this war, which eventually led to countless people's deaths. This is a crime against humanity! Here, I urge everyone to never give up the members of the 'new group'. All those who have participated in the 'new group' must be wanted by the alliance until they are all eliminated!"
“Yes, yes!”
As soon as the man sat back into his seat, there were cheers and echoes in the entire venue.
It can be seen that the patriarchs of these aristocratic families all hate those who have participated in the "new group" and attempt to destroy the status quo.
"Since no one objected."
At this time, Zhao Yongnian said:
"Captain Ma, can he enter the voting stage and vote on this vote?"
"No rush for this."
Ma Mingda waved his hand and said:
"The same is true if the voting is later. Now, let's discuss the next issue. When the 'new group' occupied Bashu, the two lakes, and Guangdong, all the aristocratic families there were removed. Now that the alliance has regained these places, what should be done? Please vote."
Hearing Ma Mingda's words, the clan leader of the aristocratic family who were sitting showed greedy eyes.
All the original aristocratic families in these areas have been removed. In other words, the aristocratic forces in these places are basically in a vacuum state. As long as their family can enter these areas smoothly, they will be able to quickly take root in these areas, reap benefits, and feed back to the family.
Therefore, the entire venue was in full swing. All the clan leaders of the aristocratic families had to fight for their own interests and refused to give in at all.
For a moment, the venue of the alliance headquarters was like a vegetable market on the street, and all kinds of bargaining were heard.
"This is the ruling class of our Celestial Empire."
Looking at the ugly behavior of the aristocratic families, Yun Ning couldn't help but sigh:
"It usually looks decent, but when it comes time to be at stake, no one is willing to give in. Like the vendors selling vegetables on the street, they refuse to give up even a penny."
This time the discussion lasted for a full half hour. Although the major families wanted to gain more benefits, the politics of the aristocratic families had lasted for more than two thousand years, and the internal operating logic had basically been established. Each family had a clear idea of how much benefits they could get, and before that they were just determining some minor things.
Then the alliance's parliament discussed several issues. After almost the same discussion on the matters regarding the "new group", Ma Mingda said to the participants in the venue:
"Do you have any other topics you want to raise? If so, please raise them as soon as possible."
"I have something to say!"
At this moment, a patriarch stood up from his seat and said loudly:
"The topic of this meeting is to deal with matters related to the battle of the 'new group'. Now the 'new group' has been handled almost completely, but have you forgotten one thing?"
"What's the matter? Don't keep it a secret, just say it!"
"Yes, yes, say it quickly and don't waste everyone's time."
Seeing that the atmosphere around him had almost been mobilized by him, the man smiled proudly and continued:
"You should remember that the army of the original 'new group' was suppressed by the patriarchs of the four major families in the Two Lakes area and could not move. If this trend continues, the 'new group' rebellion should be quickly put down by the alliance, and your family's children will not suffer such huge losses as they are now."
Chapter completed!
