The first thousand four hundred and ninety-six chapters a gift
Following Lorraine's order, a million-strong army composed of humans and Semites marched out in a mighty manner and advanced westward.
Although it is said to be in the millions, that figure includes the navy and logistics support forces.
In this battle, more than 500,000 ground troops and air forces actually participated in the battle. The troops were divided into several groups and began to act according to the established strategic plan.
In more than four months, it was enough for the combined fleet to make two round trips between the Caribbean and the human continent, once again transporting nearly 200,000 soldiers from the human continent, as well as a larger number of engineering and technical personnel, and workers.
They include alchemists, engineers, scholars, surveyors, and most importantly, workers who are skilled in operating machines.
These technicians are no less important than soldiers in this war.
It was only with the valuable engineering and technical personnel and scholars in place that Lorraine could safely lead the army on the expedition. They were the guarantee that the Caribbean logistics system was on the right track.
With these people participating in the construction, the industrial bases around the Caribbean will continuously provide arms and logistical supplies to the coalition forces.
Lorraine would not make the same mistake that the high priest had made. The high priest had also worked to establish a stable logistics supply base on the human continent, but his method was simply plundering. Important strategic materials such as magic crystals had to be transported across the sea.
.
And it was one of the key reasons that led to his ultimate failure.
Therefore, Lorraine would rather spend a few more months to build the Caribbean.
It felt like everything was ready, especially after the Caribbean arms factory was completed and put into operation, and the vigorous expedition officially began.
Lord Luo led the army. They had just walked thirty miles away from Caribbean. They had not even left the jurisdiction of Caribbean City. Then someone came up quickly in a carriage from behind.
Before he could get closer, the man had already poked his head out of the carriage and shouted excitedly: "Sir, wait a minute, wait a minute."
Lorraine couldn't help but be startled. When she looked back, it turned out to be the old man Constantine, the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The prince frowned very much: he had a slight bad feeling in his heart.
This old guy is so old that he can only take a breath after walking three steps. If he doesn't just stay in the House of Representatives, why would he come here when he has nothing to do?
When I left the Caribbean, I had clearly arranged everything. Was there any omission?
But then I saw a figure flashing by the carriage window, and there seemed to be Senate President Leonardo in the carriage.
The gleam in Sir Alex's eyes couldn't help but flicker: these two people are divided into the leaders of the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. They have always been at odds with each other. They didn't like each other when they were still in Akadelin.
They are both seventy-year-old grandfather-like figures. When they meet, they always ignore each other and exchange cold eyebrows. They even met at banquets several times. They always wanted to use each other's crutches and compete with each other.
How could they get into a carriage at the same time?
This is like putting two male orangutans in heat in a cage. If the members of the House and Senate saw it, they would probably be shocked and even lose their faith.
You must know that for members of party politics, the party is higher than the individual and the country.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the carriage, only to see that the high-end Cadillac carriage built by Nai'an was covered with dust, and the carriage pulling the carriage was sweating from exhaustion and was panting heavily.
What's even more surprising is that the man sitting in the driver's seat driving the horse is actually Ross, the deputy speaker of the House of Representatives.
Seeing this, Lord Luo couldn't help but become cautious.
Obviously, they have been working hard to catch up with them, and even the guards and attendants have not caught up. It seems that there must be some serious emergency~!
Could it be that someone is planning a mutiny?
But that's not right. The army just came out of the Caribbean, and everything inside was normal.
Moreover, in order to protect the safety of his rear logistics base, he deliberately left a hundred thousand troops to guard it.
Defend the Caribbean as if it were your main base in Red Alert, filling the base's open areas with storm coils and anti-aircraft guns just like in the game.
Not to mention that there are venture capital companies watching the situation secretly.
No matter who wants to mutiny, there is only one way to die~!
Lorraine hesitated, then rode his horse to the side and cleared the middle road to facilitate the soldiers to continue passing.
At this time, the carriage had also arrived nearby.
Before the carriage stopped, Constantine opened the door and jumped out of the car as quickly as a young man. Then Leonardo also jumped out of the car in a hurry.
"No wonder these two old guys managed to escape unscathed from every parliamentary battle. It turns out they are still Lian Jiazi, and they hid deep enough." Lord Lorraine muttered in his heart.
Seeing Constantine and the two approaching, he hurriedly greeted them and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, the two Speakers are not in the House of Representatives. Why did they come all the way here?"
Constantine smiled and said: "Sir, it's like this. We passed a motion this morning..."
Ronaldo, who was next to him, had already rushed to say: "Yes, because this bill is of great importance. It is related to our national economy and people's livelihood. It is no exaggeration to say that it is even related to the future direction of the world."
Lorraine was very surprised: Congress, a thing specially designed to bullshit, could actually pass a bill on its own when he was not around. This was really a great anecdote.
Did these guys suddenly become enlightened?
How can they overcome the problems that even Obama is helpless to deal with?
And it actually makes them so proud that they even say such shameless words as 'the future direction of the world'.
But then again, even if they pass some motion, there is no need to personally send a copy to themselves.
In fact, the power of the provisional government is all in the hands of the Lord, and the Congress can only raise their hands. There is really no major matter that they can decide.
At this time, Constantine saw Lorraine's doubts and said with a smile: "Sir, because this bill is really too important, we believe that we must send you a copy as soon as possible. And
Before coming, President Bullard also gave such instructions."
When Lorraine heard this, her heart sank.
Since his cheap father-in-law, Brad, became president, he has changed from his original stubbornness and rigidity to become cunning and cunning, becoming more and more like a scheming politician. Fiona's guidance must be indispensable behind this.
Judging from Sir Alex's understanding of these guys, it's possible that something evil happened again.
However, even if Sir Alex wanted to refuse, it was impossible.
Follow the procedures. He really has no control over the bills of the Congress of the Semitic Republic.
The Speakers of the House of Representatives and the Senate came together, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives drove the carriage himself, and President Brad was behind the scenes to control the situation. The Lord had to give them face no matter what.
Therefore, the Duke also whispered to the guards around him and said helplessly: "Get my antihypertensive medicine ready."
There is nothing that can be done about this. Of course, the antihypertensive drugs that Sir Alex calls are definitely not those little blue pills.
Although each of these congressmen is from a noble family, when these bastards get together, if you overestimate their IQ, you will be in trouble with your own IQ.
Sir Luo had made all kinds of mental preparations. Even his expressions were ready, waiting to see something that would raise his blood pressure and make him laugh or cry.
Then he reached out and took the document, then tore off the seal and looked at it carefully, and immediately there was a strange look on his face that made him laugh or cry.
Leo looked at it and immediately laughed and said: "Boss, what's wrong with you? It's like you have constipation. Your face is so ugly.
Has the consumption tax been increased?
If it is true, you can rest assured, don’t forget, I am the director of the tax bureau, and the tax is under my control, so there is no need to be afraid.”
While teasing, he reached for the letter, then looked at it carefully, and then read it loudly, saying: "Declaration of Human Rights unanimously approved by the Senate and House of Representatives of our Semitic Republic.
Under the radiance of the Great Demon God and the God of Light, we believe that the following truths are self-evident: all people are born equal, and the Creator has given them certain inalienable rights..."
Listening to Leo reading loudly, the generals around Lord Luo all had strange looks on their faces: Are these congressmen out of their minds? Why did they send such a thing specially at this time?
A staff officer whispered: "What are they doing?"
Another person next to him also said doubtfully: "Yes, look at the faces of those two people offering treasures, as if they have sent some great gifts."
"Humph, they are a bunch of misers, if you can afford it, give them more money."
"Stop talking nonsense. Those poor guys still use our people to collect taxes, and they are still borrowing our money. That's tens of millions. How can they come up with the money?"
Among them, some politically sensitive officers became a little angry and cursed in a low voice: "These traitors are rebelling against the party. They dare to talk such nonsense. This is an insult to the imperial power and is simply a rebellion~!"
Immediately he put his hand on the handle of the knife and stepped forward to chop down these despicable rebels. Human beings have always preached, 'The power of the king is granted by God'.
Under the gift of God, the rule of kings and nobles has inherent legitimacy.
And these bitches actually say with a shameless face, "Everyone is equal." Isn't this a rebellion?
How can a prince be equal to a beggar?
If Ru Man said such words, he would probably be locked up in a small dark room by everyone in black, where he would be re-brainwashed, uh... no, re-educated.
But then he was held down by the people next to him, and then he tried to persuade him: "This is the Semitic tribe, not our human territory. Let them do whatever they want. It's their business to fight good or bad, and they have nothing to do with us."
The copper plate relationship.”
Amidst everyone's discussions, Lord Luo was now in a state of turmoil.
He only created these two institutions in order to contain and limit the power of the president. Of course, it is undeniable that it is also fun to do so.
If no one causes trouble, given the strong foundation of the Semitic royal family and nobles, after the main human force withdraws, it will not take twenty years for the Semitic tribe to become the original Semitic tribe again.
With the current government structure, the Republicans and Democrats are at odds with each other, the Senate and the House of Representatives are at odds with each other. And then they unite together to argue with the president...
Everyone is like a crab that fell into a basket. Even if someone tries to struggle out, they will be dragged down again by other crabs.
And he, the giant who hides behind the scenes and controls the economic lifeline of the Semitic people, can manipulate them like a puppet on strings.
But I never expected that these guys, all together, with an IQ of no more than five, could actually come up with a "Declaration of Human Rights."
I really underestimated them before~!
You know, the lord is now also a member of the feudal aristocracy, and he is the most staunch member among them.
But now it has led to the declaration of capitalist revolution. Although this has extremely important progressive significance, for Sir Alex, it is equivalent to shooting himself in the foot. Therefore, he is very dumbfounded.
Seeing his face turning blue and white, the two Speakers couldn't help but look at each other, uneasy: It seemed that Lord Luo didn't seem to be cold to this big gift given to him, but wasn't that exactly the case?
Is this what you have been emphasizing during the Provisional Government?
After Lei Erye finished reading, he tilted his head and thought about it for a moment, but he suddenly realized it.
He glanced at the two speakers with great admiration, and sighed sadly: "How can I say that you guys who have read books are vicious~!
I really don’t know how you came up with it. It’s awesome, it’s awesome, it’s really awesome~!
Second Master, when I go out to get people's things, I have to say something about doing justice for heaven, robbing the rich and giving to the poor, etc.
I have to cover my face like this, which is very embarrassing. Occasionally, when I meet a poor person and cry about poverty, I have to pay him two yuan...
No wonder people say that first-class people make money through policies, second-class people make money through their parents, and third-class people make money through ability.”
After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but sweat profusely: This young man is very merciful, and he really dares to tell the truth.
Someone next to me asked in confusion: "Junzuo, what does this mean? Why do we not quite understand it?"
Leo couldn't help but was startled, looked at them with disdain, and said: "You guys, can't you understand this?
Really, I usually tell you to read more books and learn more knowledge, but everyone knows how to be lazy.
Are you blind now?
Things that Xiaobai can understand at a glance, but you don’t understand.”
Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, with a confused look in his eyes. He was more concerned about the fruit in his backpack than any human declaration.
But then he realized, what can he do if the number one loser is not smart?
Xiaobai hurriedly put on an expression of "I understand very well, but I just won't tell you." He curled his mouth, squinted his eyes, held his head high and looked down on everyone with disdain.
All the staff officers were dumbfounded. It was clear that the old man looked confused just now, and they thought they didn't see it.
At this time, Leo sighed, and then said: "But since you have asked questions, I will tell you mercifully."
He paused and said: "Did you see what is written on it that everyone is equal? In other words, the privileges of all Semitic nobles have been abolished through legal provisions.
What are privileges? One is the right to govern, and the other is legal power. The natural right to rule over a territory is not subject to legal supervision."
Everyone suddenly realized that this was the case~!
The two speakers next to them also had proud smiles on their faces: It turns out that this article cannot be passed so quickly.
But...you are not afraid that there will be no good things in this world, but you are afraid that there will be no good people.
Lord Luo has sworn to go out to fight and seize territory for everyone. This is a good thing. In the end, the places conquered by the coalition forces will not all belong to the republican government. Human beings will leave sooner or later.
But everyone sat down and thought about it for a while, and suddenly discovered a very difficult thing.
In order to become members of parliament, they are no longer nobles and can only call each other citizens.
However, the nobles in the areas not occupied by the Semitic people still still had titles, which naturally caused a great psychological imbalance among the noble councilors.
If they occupy those places in the future, they are still unwilling to give up their title of nobility and call themselves nobility. Wouldn't it be disappointing for everyone to stand in front of them?
The local nobles were extremely stubborn in this regard and would not give up their titles so easily.
I don’t know who proposed this motion because of the inherent bad nature of human beings: “If I am unlucky, I can’t make things easier for you.”
The members of the House of Representatives were worried when they suddenly saw such a bill coming out. Of course, they were all overjoyed and said, "I was just dozing off when this pillow was delivered to me."
They immediately put the bill to a vote.
This means that as long as the land is under the Provisional Government of the Semitic Republic, there will automatically be no nobility~!
There is no need to proactively give up like them.
Unexpectedly, it took only twenty minutes to pass unanimously in the Senate.
Then it was sent to the House of Representatives, and it only took thirty minutes to pass. The reason why it took longer than the Senate was simply because there were more people in the Senate than in the House of Representatives. Most of the time was spent on statistics.
The ballot is on.
Then the proposal went through some beautification and modification. After all, we can't just say that, as a former noble, we don't like those guys who still wear the title of noble and flaunt around.
After some more high-sounding words, the Congress sent the proposal to President Bullard.
President Brad was very happy when he saw the document.
In order to become president, he also gave up his previous royal title.
Although this was an extremely cost-effective deal, when he thought about it, his generation had lost the title of nobility that had been passed down for thousands of years, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss. After all, it was a history that represented the glory of the family.
Now there was an opportunity to make everyone suffer together, and President Bullard naturally could not let it pass. He immediately stamped his bright red seal without hesitation, and laughed heartily three times at the same time.
At this point, it means that the "Declaration of Human Rights" has become a formal legal provision and is promulgated throughout the world.
Although the promulgation of this declaration was the result of a small calculation by members of the House of Representatives, it is undeniable that this declaration reveals the principles of natural human rights, freedom and equality, and denies the feudal hierarchy that has been implemented in the world for thousands of years.
History has turned a new page at this moment.
The era of ordinary people participating in politics is coming.
However, all the staff officers were not politicians, but all soldiers. They were all experts in marching and fighting. They had no sense of this declaration of great historical significance. The army originally emphasized hierarchy the most.
Not to mention the pride and glory of witnessing this great historical moment.
However, someone whispered: "Isn't it just the abolition of the privileges of the nobility? I don't think this is anything special."
Mr. Lei was furious at that moment, pointed at the man's nose, and cursed bitterly: "You idiot. Can't you understand this?
How many of the Semitic aristocrats are clean? They only rely on the aristocratic privileges passed down from their ancestors to survive.
Now that the privilege is gone, let's go over and check. With the methods I have, I guess no one can escape.
At that time, their houses, cars, gold, silver, calves, colts, donkeys... won't all of them have to be confiscated and taxes paid?"
Everyone suddenly realized that this was the case~!
Then they all gave thumbs up and praised Mr. Lei loudly: "It's so good! It's really good!"
Mr. Lei laughed loudly, then waved the manifesto in his hand and shouted loudly: "Brothers, what are you waiting for? Let's go grab money and stuff~!"
Then he turned around and galloped away. (To be continued...)
