Chapter 1,111 Sense of Responsibility and World Affairs
Then what unfolds is just as everyone imagined. Now that the alliance has pierced the window paper, there are not many choices left for the community.
As a result, what was to be discussed at the subsequent meeting was not what should be done, but how to do it. However, when it came to this step, the efficiency was improved a lot. The cabinet members expressed that they would smooth out the members of the party and put the possibility of the Congress
The resulting backlash is minimized.
Then, there is the way to solve foreign affairs. Let the embassies in the alliance and the empire inquire in detail about the opinions of the other side, and talk about it separately. Then it must be reiterated at the Galactic Civilization Council that "peaceful development" is
The mainstream of the universe, the community has always been a peace-loving country. In order to prevent the world from being destroyed, to maintain the peace of the universe, and to implement the prosperity of love and reality, the Blue Star Community will definitely work hard for the white hole and the white tomorrow.
That's the last step.
...In short, we must first hold morality in our hands. Mr. President said so.
"Yes, but the ring world belongs to the universe and the galaxy, but in the final analysis it belongs to the community and the people of the earth. Don't worry, we will not give up the legacy of the greatest enlightener in history." He added.
Mr. Shawna sighed, but it was just a sigh.
There is no way around it. Mr. Nishita's persona is that of a sunny and majestic husband, a hard-core man who fights to the death to defend the Blue Star Community. It is precisely because of this persona that he became the most successful elected politician in the history of the community. Once
He really took out the world and shared it with the whole universe, and some political opponents labeled him a "ball traitor" and immediately removed him.
Therefore, we can only deal with the problem in orthodox ways.
As a result, the National Defense Commission will instruct all fleets, marines and local security forces in the country to enter a certain level of combat readiness, especially the outer ring fleet stationed in the Gibraltar system. This is the current situation of the community.
The only mobile force available, whether it is to rush to the New World or to fill in the border on the far coast, they have to be there. In addition, all military industry departments must be urged to speed up the progress. The top priority is naturally
Those dreadnoughts are still under construction in the alliance.
The sooner the order for the four God-class dreadnoughts is completed, the more confident the community will be.
"Don't put too much pressure on the alliance's arms purchasing group. They have already worked hard enough. At least it left us with 6 billion in shipbuilding funds, and it also helped me purchase equipment for an entire Marine Division to supplement the front line in the New World.
.So, it’s okay to ask about the progress, but not to rush it,” the president said to the chairman of the National Defense Commission.
His tone was gentle, but his aura was domineering.
Some cabinet members flashed disapproving looks. In fact, in the meetings over the past few days, some people have already raised questions about the equipment plan of the four main god-class "super-era" ships, and some even said that Yu Lian should be contacted for his position.
.
However, this time, under the powerful intimidation of President Nishita, it was hard to say anything else.
The President announced the adjournment of the meeting, and then walked out of the conference room with steps like an eagle going to hunt. The other cabinet members also filed out.
Mr. Bai, the Minister of Labor, was a little upset. He always felt that the matter seemed to be solved, but nothing seemed to be solved.
He looked at Ms. Jessica Yang who was silently collecting information next to him, and felt a little sympathetic.
As the representative of the Pioneer Party in this coalition government, the Minister of Women and Children’s Development held by Ms. Jessica Yang looks like a special position specially prepared for political vassals. Of course, she is only thirty now.
In her early years, she was still an intellectual beauty in her prime. In the political world, she was certainly young enough to attract attention. Even if she was a vase minister, she was already a great success.
A normal person only needs to be a vase for a few years, waving the flag behind the president, and then he can gain a rich political resume.
However, Jessica Yang did not think so. She really seemed to have done some practical things during her tenure. Just after taking office as minister, she began to discuss issues related to child labor, migrant female workers, out-of-school children, etc. across the country.
We conducted a workshop investigation on the problem, and now we have finally compiled a report.
Mr. Bai knew that based on this report, she was also planning to formally propose laws to ban child labor and provide subsidies and assistance to out-of-school children. Because these issues would involve the files of the Ministry of Labor, Mr. Bai naturally knew about this. He also
You know, Jessica was preparing to bring this proposal to the cabinet meeting for discussion last Monday.
...However, before she could open her mouth, New World discovered the urgent military information of Ring World.
After that, it would be impossible for anyone to care about such a "trivial" issue.
There are at least 360 million illegal child laborers in the entire Blue Star community, and there are also 1.58 billion out-of-school children who have not even finished primary school? Well, it sounds really sad. But, this is not the same as the magnificent ruins of the Enlightened Ones.
What does it mean to compare? What does it mean to compare with the war situation in this New World?
"It's okay, old man, I've actually been mentally prepared for a long time." Jessica Yang sensitively noticed the old man's worries and said with a smile: "Actually, even if I can successfully propose the proposal, the possibility of it passing is still very small.
of."
"Don't you really feel it's a pity? If it can be passed, this may be the first nationwide rights and welfare law in the galaxy. This is a pioneering work that can be recorded in the history books." Mr. Bai said.
"I have calculated that my bill will increase the country's expenditure by ten figures every year, as well as profitable child labor and children who are out of school, but they do not have the right to vote. Neither do their parents."
The community is an old student of the alliance in this regard. Only those who have a certain tax amount have the right to vote. However, if most parents are not forced to the extreme, how can they let their children work as illegal child labor and make them drop out of school?
.
"But the children will thank you when they grow up."
"When they grow up, the government also changes. A policy that requires persistence for a long time to see results is destined to become a victim of the government change." Jessica Yang sighed, her breath
With a hint of helplessness: "Besides, even if the law happens to pass, I'm afraid I won't have the power to carry it out."
Mr. Bai felt a little surprised. In fact, although this lady is the youngest cabinet member in this government, she is definitely the most effective one.
"...I originally thought that the situation on the front line of the New World has stabilized, and my husband can go home before May. However, once this ring world comes out, you can imagine how tense the situation will be over there. I do know that he
I am sitting in the Devil's Throat Fortress, and across the internal passage of the fortress, there are five or six divisions of armored grenadiers from the empire on the opposite side!"
At this moment, this one of the youngest ministers in the history of the community is no different from most wives who are worried about their husbands on the front lines.
"I don't dare to rely on my old age. At the most, I fought with my comrades against a division of stormtroopers." A veteran who climbed out of the mountains of corpses and seas of fire in the War of Independence said: "However, we must admit that the Empire
The style of the army is resolute and ruthless, but it is not cruel and murderous. When things cannot be done, run away if you can, and surrender if you can."
Jessica Yang couldn't tell whether the other party was sincere or making a malicious joke, and she was speechless for a moment.
"He has done everything he can, so there is no need to waste his life for factors that he says he cannot control. If General Yang is a smart man like the rumors say, he will definitely have a small boat nearby for a long time."
Jessica pondered for a long time, then said: "You are right. My husband is indeed not the type to die for his country. He is just a soldier who earns his salary. He always wants to go home and be a housewife. But.
, considering his ability to take care of himself, he still had to hire two nannies when he returned home. So he told me that he would try his best to become a general, so that he would be an orderly for life. "
Mr. Bai was startled for a moment, then laughed and said: "Hahaha, whenever something happens to this person, he always has to think about the best and prepare for the worst. Even a rough guy like me knows this.
, it is impossible for General Yang not to know. He is a famous general in the world, and he will always have the most appropriate arrangements. Instead of focusing on meaningless worries, it is better to focus on your own responsibilities.
"
"Senior Bai, are you New China people so comforting?"
"Ah hahaha, this is what us New China people are worst at. I guess all the elegance is concentrated on Mr. Qi." Mr. Bai laughed and scratched his face in embarrassment.
, suddenly said very bluntly: "However, although we are rude, we are very sincere. Jessica, the proposal you just prepared to discuss at the cabinet meeting, how about piloting it in New China?"
The young female politician nodded and said: "I have actually... considered this issue. However, Mr. Qi has only been in office for more than half a year and is currently carrying out large-scale construction projects. I always feel that it is not suitable to bother with it anymore."
"Hahaha, if you think about it from another angle, it's been enough trouble anyway, so I won't miss you." Mr. Qi said with a smile.
Jessica had to admit that she really couldn't think about it from another angle.
"Your laws indeed need to be implemented steadfastly for a long time before they become national policies and traditions. They cannot be changed day and night just because of changes in political power. Our backwaters in New China have no merits, and most of the people are rude pioneers.
However, just because everyone is poor, it is very reasonable. Moreover, only in terms of stability, it is still worthy of pride."
"That's why many media say that New China is an independent kingdom of the Bai family." Jessica smiled.
"It doesn't matter, I never read news other than the entertainment and sports sections." Mr. Bai waved his hand: "If you can't hear the flies buzzing, rounding it off means there are no flies. This plan of yours, even if it's just in New China
If you try it out, you will definitely be attacked by the media, but you have to have a good attitude like me."
On the other side, Chairman of the National Defense Committee Maxell and Chairman of the Internal Affairs Public Relations and Security Committee Xiaona have already met at the "secret base" where they often go. This is a tavern in the downtown business district, a straight line away from the Presidential Palace.
Five kilometers away, hidden in the back alley of a bustling commercial pedestrian street, it has a charm of tranquility amidst movement. Of course, it also has the atmosphere of a scene where political conspiracy is born behind the scenes.
Of course, these two senior cabinet officials were not thinking about any political conspiracy at this time, but were discussing the world affairs of saving the country and the people.
The age gap between these two people is equivalent to two generations. One is a veteran in the military who was attracted by the Communist Party of China right after taking off his uniform, and the other is a rising political star from a political friendly party and the president's think tank. Logically speaking, they should be mortal enemies. But.
In fact, perhaps because they all feel that they are the most responsible members of this government, their private relationship is actually pretty good.
Because of this, they can conduct some off-the-desk transactions in such a "private place".
For them, this kind of transaction is also part of the world's political affairs.
While shaking the mediocre rum in the glass, Maxell said: "I have just called Mr. Mao. He will try his best to calm down the objections in Congress. He also entrusted you to convey it to the President.
, those discussions in Congress are not his opinions."
"Of course I believe it." Edward Shoner said while peeling the salt-boiled edamame beans in Xiaojiu: "However, what Mr. President wants to know is what Mr. Mao's attitude is on the issue of globalization."
Maxer, however, shook his head with an inscrutable expression, as if "Young man, you are not moral enough": "The world has nothing to do with it, because we, the Co-Prosperity Party, are the remnants of the empire, a daughter of Mr. Mao
He and his two granddaughters are now imperial nobles. But in fact..."
"Actually?"
"In fact, of course it is!" Maxell laughed: "Mr. Mao's family has served the Imperial Governor-General for so many years, and many political families in the Co-Prosperity Party are of the same nature. In any case, it is not as good as the Imperial General Manager.
There is still a bit of love."
Incense love? It’s really a term for high emotional intelligence. Xiaona’s eyes were wandering and he wanted to sneer.
"However, in this matter, what is important is not his old man's attitude." Maxell added: "When this matter is exposed by the alliance, what matters is the opinion of the public."
"Public opinion is very important in many cases." Xiao Na said.
This is actually a statement of high emotional intelligence. The precise meaning is that public opinion (sometimes) is very important, but most of the time it is not important. The second half of the sentence is the key point.
"But it's very important now." Maxell shrugged: "Who said we are the third largest military power in the galaxy? How could a powerful country after the Empire and the Alliance exchange precious enlightenment so simply?
Where are the relics of the deceased?"
"...aren't we?"
This time it was Maxel's eyes that were wandering. He was really not sure whether the other person was really stupid or pretending to be stupid.
Councilor Xiaona added: "Your Excellency, Chairman, we are indeed, right?"
"At least on paper, yes."
Literally yes, it means actually no. Although Edward Shoner did not understand military affairs, he still understood the meaning. However, he was not surprised at all. He just sighed slightly and said: "President
Your Excellency still means balance. Balance is for existence, and existence is everything."
Maxell nodded: "Our national defense force will try its best to maintain a limited deterrence posture. Then it depends on diplomatic means. However, I personally feel that even if things reach the worst point, we must retain some
communication channels.”
"What do you mean?"
"Everyone agrees with your appointment as Chairman of the Internal Affairs and Public Security Committee and is responsible for homeland security work. Although you are young, you have proven your ability. We are very pleased that you will be responsible for military intelligence and everyone's security."
Don’t worry. It’s good to be young. Only when you are young will you be full of energy.” Maxell continued to cover up the mist.
"Old senior, you might as well speak more clearly." Xiaona said helplessly. He said that he really didn't understand this time.
"I know that you are currently reorganizing the military intelligence and internal support departments."
Shawna nodded.
"I also know that within a month of taking office, you have already changed the top management of the Security Bureau, and arrested many people from the National Unification and Internal Affairs Bureau?"
Xiaona asked suspiciously: "Are there any acquaintances of yours among them?"
He has obviously already investigated it. Those who don't have a backing will naturally be dismissed from their jobs, and those who have a backing will still be given some dignity and transferred to a noble position.
"No, no. How can I, an innocent veteran, have acquaintances in the Internal Security Department?" Maxer shook his head quickly, and then said: "I just heard that you already have the treason evidence of Deputy Director Dai Lun of the Internal Affairs Bureau.
.”
Shawna continued to nod.
"It's better to stop. Deputy Director Dai Lun is actually a retainer of King Wilent of the Empire."
Xiaona suddenly understood, but then he smiled bitterly: "Why didn't you say it for two hours earlier? Now, you have already taken action! You are still a master of the spiritual seminar..."
