The current President Nishita is indeed a very ambitious politician. He believes that he can do something great that surpasses his predecessors. If you want to achieve a bigger vision, you need to unite all the forces that can be united.
, this is not just an objective truth taught by proletarian revolutionary mentors, but a truth that all leaders, even leaders in the Stone Age, should understand without a teacher.
As a result, the president formed the Blue Star Community, the first coalition government with multiple parties in the cabinet since the founding of the independent country. No, even local parties like the Pioneer Party, which was established less than a year ago, and incompetent politicians like Mr. Bai
The local powerful factions of the party also have the status of cabinet ministers.
The ruling group, which seemed to be united, harmonious and prosperous, encountered such a major accident that challenged their ability to govern in the first month of preparation.
And so far, at least regarding the issue of the ring world, although the response of the central government of the earth cannot be said to be decisive, it is simply dumbfounded.
In a total of more than fifteen hours of meetings in the first five days, President Niceta and his chairman and ministers finally reached a consensus: not only can the main force of the expedition fleet in the New World not be withdrawn, but it must even be withdrawn.
Consider adding troops.
"The increase in troops requires approval from Congress. Therefore, we really need to think of a way to communicate with Congress." Vice President Yellen's voice was as ethereal as a ghost.
"Moreover, I originally thought that after March, more than 70% of the expeditionary fleet's troops would be able to return home. I also formulated this year's financial budget according to this plan. However, if we increase the number of troops, we will really run into a deficit.
." Finance Minister Donovan was full of misery and helplessness, looking like he was shaking with anger and crying.
"...So, this big discovery is really not necessarily good news." Chairman Pinnock of the Shipping and Transportation Committee had just shown a bitter face, and his eyes came into contact with the murderous eyes of Mr. Bai opposite him.
Rubbing the wrist of the chair, he quickly changed his words: "I, I mean, of course this is a great discovery and the glory of all people on the earth. I, I am just thinking about how to best deal with this matter. Honor is honor.
, reality is reality.”
Chairman Pinnock, who is almost 60 years old this year, looks like he is dealing with a strict disciplinary inspection official with a stiff but conscientious smile.
In any case, among the cabinet members of the Blue Star Community, the "chairman" is by default one and a half ranks higher than the "minister". In addition, the Minister of Labor served by Mr. Bai is by default ranked at the bottom of the cabinet.
.He himself is a non-party person who was born locally and has never been involved in the political arena of the center of the earth.
It stands to reason that in this Blue Star government, he should be a little transparent and even the target of bullying. But in fact, the situation is the opposite.
It can only be said that a real tiger would still want to eat meat even if it were a different jungle.
President Nishita was quite satisfied with the unfolding of this scene. To be honest, Bai Yantang, a veteran of the independent era, was not an easy person to deal with. In other words, the old Bai family developed the New China Star Region from their
His ancestors were not easy to deal with from the beginning. In cabinet meetings, he often did not give himself face as the president.
But so what? The president feels that since he can work happily with veterans like Marshal Paris, he doesn't have to worry about having another veteran.
Although Mr. Bai will criticize himself in cabinet meetings, he will criticize others even more fiercely and even take action. Everyone dislikes him, but everyone is also afraid of him. In this way, he actually plays an objective role in the cabinet as a "party"
The function of "whip".
Who says multi-party coalitions cannot have party whips? Doesn’t it still depend on the means?
The president thought happily, feeling that he was indeed a virtuous and powerful person who could use both soft and hard tactics. Of course, if this world-wide problem could be solved safely, the "weather" could become a "reality". Let's challenge the opposing alliance.
, being re-elected for seven or eight consecutive terms until the president is dead seems to be a challenge.
"If Congress has any objections, please go back and convene a party meeting as soon as possible to convince your respective members." The president said solemnly and solemnly: "Listen carefully, the minister's job is to solve problems, not create them.
The alliance’s newspapers have punctured this window, and we have no way out! Everyone, please don’t let me waver in my ideal of this multi-party coalition government!”
One thing to say, the president still has a lot of prestige at present, and when he speaks with a straight face, he really has a bit of a domineering air.
Therefore, everyone hurriedly expressed their position that the president's order is our will, and some small and noisy voices in the party will definitely not constitute an obstacle to the grand strategy.
So now, the question becomes, what exactly is this grand strategy?
A cabinet member asked this. Although his original words were not true, once you put aside the official rhetoric that is cloudy and foggy, this is what he actually meant.
Aren’t you trying to pick up a certain pot? Aren’t you trying to show me off? If I knew, would I still need to hold this fifteen-hour meeting? President Nishita again
I want to gnash my teeth and want to tut someone.
Of course, there is a saying that he himself is the democratically elected president with the highest winning rate in the history of the Blue Star Community, and not all of his ruling team are worthless insects.
Soon, Mr. Maxell, who was the chairman of the National Defense Committee, called up the star map and explained the current situation in the Dawn Star Territory to everyone in a simple and in-depth way.
General Maxell only officially took off his military uniform and entered politics in January last year. Before retiring, he had nearly half a century of military experience, but he had rarely served as a commander of actual combat troops for a long time, and he was not very distinguished.
A battle of persuasion. His only "accomplishment" is probably that when he was the president of the Central Defense University, he "taught" the famous Class of 830.
However, from the perspective of Mr. Bai, a semi-professional military fan, Chairman Maxer, although he is old, has clear ideas and good explanation skills, and is at least qualified to be a battalion-level staff officer.
In short, according to Maxer's analysis, the military strength of both sides in the Dawn Star Territory is not completely unbalanced.
"That is to say, we are actually building fortifications in advance." The president said curiously.
"Yes, especially in the galaxies located at the nodes of the waterway such as Yaochi, Devil's Eye, and Cross of Light, our deployment is much faster than that of the empire, and we have also concentrated our forces in advance. In some aspects, there are even
Certain advantages." Maxell said.
"...But, doesn't this mean that last year, when everyone was still taking joint actions, we were already conducting military mobilizations against our allies in private?" Vice President Yellen said.
President Nishita thought to himself, I don’t have to antagonize anyone, but I must antagonize you. If it weren’t for the fact that you are the nephew of that old monster Mao Yuanzuo, and if it weren’t for the sake of co-governing, I would let you do this.
Guy be my partner? I will be happy to look at your powdered face every day?
Although he thought so in his heart, he said on his face: "That seems to be the case. However, it is the choice of the frontline soldiers to build fortifications in places where we have priority development rights. I fully respect the subjective initiative of frontline commanders.
."
Vice President Yellen nodded and smiled: "Yes, Sir, I just want to confirm the completion progress of the fortifications."
The president ignored the other party, but as if he had grasped some important information, he said expectantly: "In other words, you don't need to increase the number of troops for the time being, is that what you mean? The strength of the frontline expeditionary fleet is sufficient, right?
"
I have said so much about co-authorship, but you have grasped this point?
A wry smile flashed across Chairman Maxell's face, but he still said in a very strict tone: "The allied forces under the unified command of the Expeditionary Fleet Joint Command are currently retreating from the New World in an orderly manner. But even so, we
Our allies have also promised to maintain at least three to five divisions of marine troops in the Dawn Star area for a long time to cooperate with us in restoring law and order."
The president looked at the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee and received an affirmative nod from the latter.
"In this way, our marine force in the New World still has twenty-five divisions and more than 300,000 combat troops. It is enough to maintain the defense of eight important route nodes such as Unity Fortress and Yaochi..."
"Yes! What an exquisite layout! As long as we maintain these few nodes and rely on a small number of fast fleets to carry out raids and cooperate, we can guard the route arteries of the Dawn Star Territory to the greatest extent. Even a layman like me can see it.
Come out." Nishita looked at the holographic defense planning version of the star map and exclaimed.
"Which military hero was the one who made this defense plan?"
"This... is Major General Yang Xiyi, deputy chief of staff of the expedition fleet."
"Well, I have heard of this name. He is General Xiao Yu's teacher, right? I also heard that the Devil's Throat also relied on his ingenuity to break through." Mr. President looked like he was overjoyed to have discovered another talent.
He didn't seem to mind at all where the commander and chief of staff were: "This is a rare wise general. He must be my soldier, Marshal Yue, the sky-high wing of the community!"
I don't even understand whether you are praising someone or cursing them. The corners of Mr. Bai's mouth almost twitched. As for Ms. Jessica Yang next to him, it was even harder to hold back her laughter.
"So, do Chief of Staff Yang and Commander Connerys on the front line have anything to say about the current situation?" the president asked again. He finally remembered that Connerys was the real commander-in-chief.
"The Frontline Expeditionary Force Command has judged that this ring world is the biggest discovery in the entire Dawn Star Territory, and it is a treasure that can make the country take off. It cannot be abandoned at will. Admiral Conneris has gathered most of the warships at the ring.
galaxy. The latest military intelligence briefing sent yesterday said that the imperial warship on the opposite side has some provocative behavior. He hopes that we can authorize him to take active defense."
"Wait a minute, why didn't you tell us about the news we received last week?"
"Last week? Last week's news was actually from last week." Maxell shrugged.
"Yes! It's been almost twenty days, and there might have been a fight over there." A cabinet member said quietly.
Mr. President suddenly felt that he had returned to the Stone Age when communication basically relied on shouting, and his heart suddenly started to tremble.
"The noble officer seems to be gloating in his words?" Mr. Bai turned his head and stared coldly in the direction of the voice.
"I, I'm just worried... I'm really worried. Oh, yes, I'm sorry. This junior will definitely be careful about his words and deeds in the future."
Are there some naughty kids in my cabinet who are going to be slapped by the old-school dean of students? Nishita thought.
At this time, someone finally comforted him: "Don't worry. Judging from the latest intelligence, the empire's provocative actions were later blocked. It can be understood as the lone behavior of military nobles. At least from the current point of view, any handling of the situation
, the empire has not made up its mind on how to deal with the relationship with us."
The person who spoke was Edward Shonadau, Chairman of the Committee of Internal Affairs and Common Security and Director of Intelligence. This politician born as a detective was President Niceta's think tank and best friend, and the latter was still willing to trust his judgment.
"However, considering the reports from the Far Coast Military Region, the Katai and Bakwe people have unstable movements and must be dealt with carefully." Xiaona added: "My suggestion is to at least allow the Outer Ring Military Region to enter.
On alert."
Before Mr. President could make a decision, Maxell said: "This is actually the opinion of the Frontline Expeditionary Fleet Command."
"Is this the opinion of the Frontline Fleet Command or Rear Admiral Yang Xiyi's personal opinion?" Vice President Yellen said with a pleasant face, a calm tone, and a correct and cute attitude of "just ask if you don't understand." Unfortunately, everyone here can hear this.
The strange atmosphere.
The Chairman of the National Defense Committee did not answer, just smiled and said nothing.
He said in a slow tone: "I know everyone is a little nervous, but I think there is no need for everyone to be nervous. The universe is very big and can accommodate everyone. There is currently no evidence that because of the creation of an enlightened being,
We and the empire will definitely meet at war. Of course, a minimum of vigilance is necessary, and a minimum of backbone is also necessary, but this is not to stimulate the other party, but to express our attitude. The final attitude is to be peaceful.
Ah! I always believe that the worst peace will be better than all wars. Everyone understands what I mean, right? Peace is a light, a light that should always illuminate our way forward..."
The Vice President is a very eloquent speaker, and he can speak such clichés in an emotional way. At this time, Mr. Bai took the opportunity to lower his voice and said to the Chairman of the National Defense Committee: "Old Mike, if
Say, something unspeakable will still happen. How long can we hold on on the front line of the Dawn Star District?"
Maxell pondered for a moment and flashed a wry smile: "This, the opinion of Marshal Paris from the Military Command Headquarters is not very optimistic. So, what we have to do now is to try our best not to let this happen."
"Yes, a diplomatic solution is the best." Councilor Shauna also added: "The alliance suddenly revealed this matter, which made us very passive, but this is not necessarily a bad thing. At least,
We can take the opportunity to bring this matter to the Galactic Civilization Council for discussion."
"Co-development?" Ms. Jessica Young asked.
Councilor Shona looked at the youngest cabinet minister present with some surprise. He originally thought it was just a vase, but he did not expect to have such an insight, so he continued in a low voice: "Yes. I hope that our representative will propose
This ring is entrusted to the Civilization Council, and all participating countries of the Civilization Council should enjoy common exploration and development rights."
Mr. Bai's face first flashed with anger, but then he fell into deep thought.
"You can't succeed." Jessica Yang shook her head.
"Yes. I can't succeed. Even the President cannot bear this responsibility." Minister Shauna's expression looked particularly bitter.
