Luo, the deputy speaker of the House of Representatives of the Semitic Provisional Government, was exhausted after a whole morning of arguing.
After having a hasty lunch, he returned to his office, then lay down on the sofa, resting his head on the plump and white thighs of the beautiful female intern, and allowed the other party to gently massage his swollen head.
The young intern's slightly cold fingers felt comfortable to the touch. Looking up from this angle, her plump and firm breasts were right in front of Deputy Speaker Ross, swaying slightly with her gentle movements.
But His Excellency the Deputy Speaker, who is not even considered old, turned a blind eye to the beautiful scenery in front of him.
At this moment, he felt as if he had just struggled out of a siege by a group of monkeys on the back of a rhinoceros. His head was dizzy, his ears were ringing, and he was exhausted.
Deputy Speaker Ross lamented and thought to himself: These days have been really hard, and I have almost had all the fights in my life.
This is different from the job I originally expected.
Originally, I thought that the parliament would just talk, talk, drink tea, see who didn't like it, curse a few words, and stymie President Bullard's bunch of small-city civil servant-level government officials, and everyone would do it behind the table.
Some cordial and friendly transactions.
The work is leisurely and prestigious.
But the real work of the parliament is simply... it's such a scam~!
On the first day of the meeting, everyone had a heated argument over the issue of whether to clock in or not.
Although Ross himself thinks it would be better to clock in. After all, we are government members and have the highest decision-making power in the country. If it is too free and undisciplined, it will be undignified. In this regard, Congressman Ross is an old-school person.
But the awkward thing is that the "punch card" was proposed by the Republican Party. As the deputy leader of the Democratic Party, in the spirit of "we must resolutely oppose anything advocated by the enemy," we strongly oppose this idea.
At the same time, there were 300 Democratic congressmen who strongly opposed it.
They even used the terms "freedom and democracy" that the nobles were most disgusted with to fight back against the other party.
And the Republicans are really not good people. They even hesitate to slander themselves and talk about the fallacy that "many members of Congress are of low quality and need to be regulated and managed."
You must know that although the people present in the parliament are all citizens, they no longer mention each other's titles and titles when they meet, and they have obliterated the noble coat of arms on carriages and accessories, but almost all of them are of noble origin.
At this time, saying this is simply a slap in the face.
What makes them even more intolerable is that several royal families and nobles have gathered on the Republican side. This is actually insinuating that they, the small and medium-sized nobles, do not understand the rules.
The conflicts were so acute that they could not be reconciled. Later, when everyone found that they could not talk about it verbally, they naturally began to try to persuade the other party by force.
At the beginning, Uncle Ross took advantage of his youth and was able to fight freely among a group of old men in their 60s and 70s in the Republican Party. He was invincible and beat them to a rout.
Seeing that the Democratic Party, under the leadership of Deputy Leader Ross, was about to win the first parliamentary battle, but then some bastard hit Mr. Luo from behind, and the brave and capable Congressman Ross fell immediately.
Then a large group of MPs chased each other and stepped over him, then chased and beat each other and ran over him, then ran over again, and then ran over again...
Uncle Ross's last thought before he fell into coma was "Just wait for me, I will come back~!"
When he woke up in the hospital, he found that his whole body was swollen like a pig's head. Fortunately, there were no fractures. Most of them were skin trauma and a slight concussion.
However, if the priests of the Holy See of Light were not highly skilled and had a unique way of treating this kind of bruises, I would probably not even recognize him if I were standing across from him.
By the way, the congressmen receive public medical care and can be fully reimbursed. In order to treat Congressman Ross, the hospital hired a cardinal.
What made Congressman Ross most angry was that according to his later recollection, the stick that knocked him unconscious was probably struck by one of his own people.
Because he took the lead and rushed to the front, and there must be Democratic congressmen behind him.
If it weren't for the fact that he had now climbed to the position of deputy leader of the Democratic Party and could not be easily relinquished, Congressman Ross would have rebelled and thrown himself into the arms of the Republican Party out of anger.
Compared with the big aristocrats of the Republican Party, the Democratic congressmen are indeed too petty.
The next day, in order to take revenge, Ross climbed out of the hospital bed and came to the House of Representatives, regardless of his pain and the dissuasion of the priests.
Only this time, before he could start fighting, a large amount of chili powder hit his face, causing his eyes to burn and hurt.
Then he received another blow from the sap and fell down heroically.
Then a large group of MPs chased each other, stepped over him, then chased and beat each other, ran over him, then ran over again, and then ran over again...
However, Deputy Speaker Ross learned a lesson this time. He wore a piece of scale armor under his outer robe and protected his face before falling down. The injuries he sustained were actually much lighter than last time.
In order to take revenge, and to catch the traitor who beat him, Senator Ross got up early the next day and prepared bricks, sticks, and chili powder. In addition, he also specially equipped himself with a helmet.
.
But before the meeting, President Bullard came to search. In desperation, he had to throw all those things into the toilet, and then the toilet was blocked...
Fortunately, President Bullard's search prevented everyone from fighting. We could finally sit down and have a good general debate.
At that time, Ross breathed a long sigh of relief.
But then, he realized that this misfortune was just the beginning.
Since in the fights in the previous two days, no one had any experience in such melees, many people from both the Republican and Democratic parties were accidentally injured by themselves. Everyone held a grudge during the meeting.
At this time, everyone no longer cares about the party. Instead, they start to fire indiscriminately. No matter what is said, as long as someone agrees, someone will oppose it, and then some people will oppose the opponent because they have a grudge against the opponent.
Some people choose to oppose just because they oppose and oppose those who oppose...
The whole meeting was like a pot of porridge. The lot was noisy and the lot was not open. It was really lively and hot, but not even a single motion was passed.
Only then did he realize that this parliament was a huge quagmire. No matter who fell into it, they would never be able to get out again.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh softly. He originally thought that by joining the parliament and becoming a member, he would have the opportunity to realize his ambitions in the future, but now he feels that he is getting further and further away from his ideal, even with its back.
Can't even see clearly.
The future seems to be filled with endless struggles and wrangling.
But overall, it's still better than the Senate.
Vice Speaker Ross only received two sap blows, and several others were carried out from the Senate and could not be moved. A group of veterans there were so ruthless and vicious that President Bullard had to take charge personally.
At this time, a heavy and melodious sound was heard from the clock in the room.
"Dang Dang Dang..."
Ross couldn't help but open his eyes, took a look, and found that time passed quickly. He seemed to have only squinted for a short while, but now the pointer was pointing in the direction of two o'clock, and the afternoon meeting was about to begin.
He frowned reluctantly and reluctantly moved his head away from the female intern's lap.
Then with her help, he put on his coat and arranged his clothes very carefully. The little intern circled around Speaker Ross like a butterfly to help.
He turned around and took a picture in the full-length mirror, finally put on his ancestral helmet, and then gave the intern a hard slap on his elastic buttocks.
The female intern gave a sweet cry, her big watery eyes seemed to be able to talk, she twisted her body and said, "Godfather, you are so bad."
Vice Speaker Ross rubbed his big hands up and down the intern's buttocks that were tightly stretched by her short skirt and said with a smile: "How many times have I told you to call me Speaker in Congress?"
"Yes, the Speaker's godfather."
Under the charming words of the female intern, Deputy Speaker Ross prepared for battle and walked out with high spirits.
At the same time, I have already made up my mind: I must make the Republican bastards look good.
Ross came to the House of Representatives and found that at this time, a group of congressmen were also rushing towards the conference hall one after another.
Since there was no formal meeting, everyone was sitting around randomly, chatting in random directions. They even discussed loudly which nightclub to go to at night to spend public funds.
These bastards are very open-minded now. It is their job to quarrel and fight in the parliament, and it is just their job. Therefore, as long as there is no blood feud, everyone is still willing to sit down and chat together after work to deepen their relationship.
Politics, isn't it all about compromise and exchange?
While they were making a fuss, the hour hand was already pointing to half past two.
Immediately afterwards, the speaker appeared on the rostrum, and then began to swing the wooden hammer in his hand and hit the table hard.
‘Dong, dong dong dong…, that heavy sound echoed in the hall.
All the MPs immediately returned to their seats and sat down.
Speaker Constantine looked around and then said loudly: "Today we will continue the debate on issue No. 1301."
If outsiders heard this, they might be surprised. They thought that this parliament was extremely efficient, but it had already carried out more than a thousand motions in just a few days since it opened.
But in fact, this is just a little trick unique to politicians. In fact, this is the first motion before the parliament opens. If the number is more, it can show that everyone is very capable.
This innocuous little trick made the members of the House of Representatives grin evilly.
Constantine put on his reading glasses, looked down at the documents on the table, and then said numbly: "Whose turn is it to speak next?"
Then the speaker curled his lips and muttered: "It's actually this guy."
He raised his voice and said: "Just ask Congressman Kennedy to speak..."
Then a handsomely dressed guy stood up.
He had an evil look on his face, a stout figure, a sinewy face, short hair and beard that stood straight like steel needles.
Rather than being an aristocratic councilor, he is more like a pig butcher.
He quickly came to the podium, stood on the podium, coughed lightly, and then said loudly: "Gentlemen, our parliament is not a children's amusement park..."
Someone below immediately said jokingly: "It's not a pig-killing factory."
The crowd immediately burst into laughter.
Congressman Kennedy's face turned red with anger.
His ancestor originally started his family by killing pigs and monopolized the local livestock slaughtering industry. Later, he spent a lot of money to become a noble.
It is a pity that in the aristocratic circle, no one thinks highly of such purchased aristocrats, and they are despised everywhere.
Later, when humans landed, they were so angry that they came here to gain wealth, but they did not expect that they would still be despised.
However, he was mentally prepared and shouted loudly: "So what if you kill the pig? Lord Luo said that now is a civil society and everyone is equal. No matter what they did before, everyone is now a member of Parliament."
I also have a say. When elections are open in the future, there may be farmers, vendors, handlebars, and bar owners in the parliament..."
The members of the House of Representatives looked at each other, but they all showed disdain: everyone is equal, that's right.
But some people are more equal~!
Propaganda slogans are just used to deceive people. Why should people with no money and power run for parliament?
I didn't expect this guy to be so naive at his age.
At this moment, I suddenly heard someone cheering loudly: "Okay, well said. That's really well said."
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned and turned their heads.
Some people were planning to make sarcastic remarks and humiliate the cheering ungrateful guy. But when they saw the man's face clearly, they all took a deep breath and stood up respectfully.
Rose's heart was moved, and he hurriedly turned around to look, but that person was the Flying Eagle God of War, the current Supreme Emperor of the Caribbean Provisional Government, and Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Lorraine.
He also stood up hastily.
Lorraine laughed when she saw this, waved her hand for everyone to sit down, and then said: "I have no other intention of coming today, I just came to visit you.
I heard that everyone was arguing fiercely..."
Everyone couldn't help but feel their hearts sinking, thinking that the lord was here to ask for punishment. They seemed to be having too much fun and had forgotten about their business. They couldn't help but glance at Lorraine uneasily.
But then I heard Lorraine continue: "This is a very good thing~!
Although we still have a long way to go in the future, this fully demonstrates that we are on the right track."
Everyone immediately let out a long sigh of relief.
And the Kennedy congressman glanced at Lorraine gratefully. Sir Lorraine's support for him was so timely.
When the rest of the people looked at him again, a strange light flashed in their eyes: This guy is really hiding deep~!
He is obviously being protected by Lord Luo, but he keeps hiding it from everyone. It’s really annoying. If you find the opportunity later, you’ll have to give him a few drinks~!
At this time, Lorraine continued: "I am not here for nothing, but I am helping President Brad bring a proposal."
As he spoke, he waved his finger.
Someone nearby had already distributed the documents one by one.
Everyone took the bill and were shocked when they saw the title above.
I saw the words "Motion of the Semitic Provisional Government to Send Troops" written above.
If viewed from the perspective of later generations, this bill is full of loopholes. It neither explains the purpose of sending troops, nor the reasons, nor the time limit. It does not even list the financial budget.
To sum it up in one sentence, I plan to take my boys out to grab territory.
According to common sense, it is impossible for this bill to be approved.
But having said that, Sir Alex did not need their approval originally. But in order to make the procedure more legal, he came over to say hello to them.
Don't underestimate this, as long as you say hello, then this troop dispatch is a legal action.
This has formed a common practice in the future, which also limits the power of the president. In the future, even if any president initiates a fight and wants to start a fight, he must obtain the approval of the parliament.
When a member of the House of Representatives took the bill in their hands, they also felt the weight of concern in it: As long as they vote with a show of hands, the war will begin immediately?
Although they have always hoped to start a war immediately and capture Arkadelin, everyone was sitting in Arkadelin's office with their feet crossed and teasing the female intern with long legs, thin waist and big breasts.
But suddenly, Lord Luo came up with such a proposal and asked to send troops now. Everyone still felt that their little hearts could not bear it, and they even began to worry uneasily: What if the battle is defeated?
At that moment, someone boldly said: "Sir, are we ready now? The army's food, fodder and military supplies, as well as road transportation, weapons and equipment, and personnel training all take time to prepare. We cannot fight an uncertain battle.
.
Uh... We believe in Sir Alex's ability to win every battle, but this is our Semitic race. We are not just fighting, but we should do it with minimal losses. This is the most important thing."
The rest of the people also agreed: now everyone is living comfortably, but once this war starts, it will not be fun.
And more importantly, this Semitic tribe is our homeland. If we fight together, there will definitely be a lot of losses. The best way is to persuade all the Semitic tribesmen on the opposite side to surrender, so that everyone can remain harmonious and sit down in the end.
Let's happily exploit the people together.
Lorraine smiled and said: "Everyone, please turn to the last page and take a look at that document."
Everyone hesitantly opened the document, saw the last page, and were immediately attracted by the numbers on it.
Lorraine smiled and said: "Gentlemen, you can see that every year the Semitic tribe pays tribute to the undead tribe various minerals and crystals worth 200 million gold coins, and the Semitic tribe's total fiscal revenue throughout the year is only three
A little over 100 million. In other words, two-thirds of the money everyone earns is given to the undead.
Note that this is the amount per year. In addition, there are a lot of transportation costs, fire losses, etc. that are not included.
This means that everyone should be at least three times richer than they are now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the congressmen's eyes were all red, and they started yelling wildly.
This is not to blame for them going crazy, after all, the money is really too much.
The Semitic people were originally poor and weak. In order to complete various tax collection tasks, even the nobles were often exploited and extorted by tax collectors.
But in the past, everyone thought that this money was given to the government to train and maintain soldiers and maintain normal operations. Although there were many complaints, they were just complaints.
Unexpectedly, the real cause of their suffering turned out to be that bunch of deadbeats. It was because of their extortionate expropriation that the Semitic people were so impoverished.
This is simply robbing money directly from their pockets, and robbing so much money. This is really intolerable for my aunt, but intolerable for my uncle.
And in order to highlight the effect, Lorraine deliberately added the total of more than a thousand years. After seeing the huge number, people are all intimidated at the moment.
