Chapter 1,431 Don’t digress, we must focus on the military
I would rather he go home now, finish his drink and take a nap next to me. We are still young, maybe we can have another son. Fifty years? I will become an old woman with all my teeth. Jessica
Ms. Edward rolled her eyes covertly.
In addition, if you don’t know how to use allusions, you really don’t have to force yourself. This will not make you appear to be very educated.
Of course, in response to Mr. President's compliment, she once again responded with a magnanimous smile full of martyrdom.
In short, the news from the New World will be delayed for at least two weeks, but at that time, the Miracle Ring and Yaochi are still holding on. Yang Xiyi even sent a very detailed frontline report to the Earth, and the attachment also included
Nearly 10,000 letters home from ordinary officers and soldiers, giving the impression that everything is under control.
I really can't imagine that there will be a fall there. Mr. President is even looking forward to news of another victory in the New World.
"I want to go to Nantianmen in person and to the far bank to award medals and encourage the soldiers. Make arrangements for me immediately! I want all the soldiers on the front line to understand that their president is with them. Make arrangements for me immediately
Itinerary." President Nikita said loudly, looking like an impassioned warrior.
He thought for a while and then said to the Chairman of the National Defense Committee: "Chairman Maxell, get ready. I need four Blue Star Freedom Hero Medals! There is also a Marshal's Scepter and three general titles. Outer Rim Theater Zone
The two officers Bonaparte and Sylvester, as well as my little brother Yu Lian, and General Xiao Yang of the New World have all made such great contributions and need to be praised! By the way, let the propaganda department follow up, I want
Let the whole universe know their achievements! Yes, it’s too late to make a movie, but documentaries are always okay, right?”
Normal people know that the first two are incidental, and the "Little Brother Yu Lian" and "General Xiao Yang" at the back are the main targets. Of course, because Mr. President's attitude was too natural, the scene suddenly fell into a brief silence.
.
Chairman Maxell said: "Your Excellency, the Blue Star Hero of Freedom Medal, our country's highest honorary medal, requires congressional approval. In addition, the Marshal's Scepter and the promotion to general also require congressional review."
Military administration and officer personnel management are within the purview of the National Defense Commission, but when it comes to marshals and generals, Congressional approval is indeed required.
"Then let Congress do it quickly. Right, Vice President?" Nicita said to Vice President Hierro.
Mr. President still had a warm smile on his face, and he seemed to be calmly discussing with his partner as before, but at this time, the command in his words could not be concealed.
According to the political system of the Blue Star Community, the Vice President will concurrently serve as the Speaker of the National Assembly.
In addition to being a backup for President Niceta and attending some diplomatic and ceremonial events, Vice President Hierro's main job is to preside over the agenda of Congress.
His biggest role in the Nishita government is to ensure that the communication channels between Congress, the legislative body, and the highest administrative agencies can remain open. The president's will can be conveyed to the legislators in a timely manner, and he can also learn from the legislators.
Only by meeting the demands of each constituency can we build a stable and basically efficient governing environment through sincere cooperation.
This is probably the most ideal state of a presidential republic.
Remember, it's cooperation, not leadership.
In short, the government system of the Blue Star Community is modeled after an alliance, and the president and Congress should have a cooperative relationship.
President Keith Nishita has also adhered to this principle very much in the past years.
But now, it is obvious that he has begun to issue orders to Congress as a matter of course.
...No, from the perspective of office politics, he is actually giving orders to the Co-Prosperity Party represented by Vice President Hierro, right?
Most of the senior cabinet officials present are political animals full of power struggles, and it is easy for them to have this kind of divergent thinking. Vice President Hierro seemed to think so too, and his face turned pale with anger for a while.
A mere Nishita, didn’t he start his career as a son-in-law? How dare he show such a profile of a dictator in front of me? But after winning a few battles, he really thought he was
Victoria Lee?
Who gave you this illusion? The Dragon of Dawn? The magician?
However, Vice President Hierro's face went from pale to smiling, which was just one step away, but he nodded and said: "I understand. I will arrange for the congressmen to vote as soon as possible. The congressmen can live in the same era as the heroes who saved the world,
It’s their honor! They will definitely work with unprecedented efficiency!”
"They'd better do it. No, they will definitely do it! This is war time." The president nodded solemnly, showing a domineering and heroic spirit.
"If they make our heroes unhappy, the people will be even more unhappy. Vice President, please make sure that members of Congress know their position."
Well, everyone in the cabinet definitely and definitely admits that President Keith Nichta is indeed drifting.
You know, this guy has always been proud of his multi-party coalition government, and has always been prepared to play the role of a "perfect leader" in the eyes of bureaucrats and politicians.
But what's happening now? I found out that I can actually fight very well, so I'm not ready to be the "Renzong" who is in harmony with light and dust. I'm ready to work hard to be a "Martial Emperor" who is decisive and decisive in killing?
"It's just that, Your Excellency, I have no objection to the promotion of General Bonaparte and Lieutenant General Sylvester. However, two young generals, Yang Xiyi and Yu Lian, were immediately promoted to generals. Isn't it too fast? They
The last time I was promoted to lieutenant general, just over two months had passed."
"Well, after all, it's wartime, one moment and another moment," President Nikita said.
Even in wartime, basic personnel principles need to be followed!
Subsequently, the Chairman of the National Defense Committee, Mr. McSerdo, spent nearly five minutes persuading the President with all kinds of earnest words, hoping to dispel the idea of Mr. President. Although Yang Xiyi and Yu Lian were both his students, Mr. Chairman of the National Defense Committee was very
It is clear that there must be no such nonsense in the appointment and dismissal of senior military officers, otherwise it will definitely lead to huge chaos.
For example, if you just win a battle and gain some military exploits, you can be promoted, and you can get the marshal's scepter when you are twenty years old. This is not allowed even in the opposite empire.
You should know that even a minor who became an elected emperor and was as talented as King Suliuka was promoted to the rank of Imperial Marshal last year.
Labor Minister Bai Yantang and Women and Children Minister Jessica Yang said they also agreed with the statement of the National Defense Committee Chairman.
The Co-Prosperity Party and the Pioneer Party actually merged. Mr. President thought this scene was quite surprising, but he finally reluctantly accepted it and just muttered with some dissatisfaction:
"My little brother Yu Lian is a psychic. He is a saint. I asked my wife. Saints in their early twenties, even among the Dawn Royal Family and the Rainbow Rose Family, are rare in a hundred years.
Unparalleled genius..."
Mr. Bai has to admit that Mr. President is really loyal to his "little brother Yu Lian". However, it seems a bit too much to always talk about this "little brother" in cabinet meetings.
Deliberately?
"Yes, we must protect them just because they are extraordinary talents. Your Excellency, President, we must consider the future! A long and steady stream of water is the right way! You have made contributions to protect the country but have no reward, and you have nothing to do with the country.
It's not a good thing to be with others!" Vice President Hierro said.
Is this guy's provocation too deliberate? Mr. Bai immediately became even more dissatisfied. With the continuous victories on the front line, everyone's national defense pressure has finally been relieved. Is it just to expand the space for you guys to play power?
You guy, do you want the glory duel of psychics again? Mr. Bai glared at the Vice President at the end of the long table, and slowly took out his gloves from his trouser pocket.
Vice President Hierro obviously felt the other party's eyes, and shuddered on the spot and shrank his shoulders.
However, before the Secretary of Labor could throw his gloves into the Vice President's face, he heard Secretary Jessica Edward Young say seriously: "Mr. Vice President, since we are talking about the future, I would like to ask.
Why were the compulsory education bill, the children's rights protection bill, and the free nutritious meal supply plan for primary and secondary school students proposed in the National Assembly last time not passed? Why were most of the opponents from your party, that is, members of the Co-Prosperity Party? As
Vice President and President of the Senate, should you give an explanation to the 50 billion minors in the Blue Star Community that I represent?"
Vice President Hierro did not expect that the other party would raise an issue at this time. He was not prepared at all, and said in a panic: "This, you, and I, aren't we in a war? This, Madam Minister, is limited.
Finance should still..."
The youngest minister present and the only female minister sneered and interrupted the vice president's words with full force: "We did not ask for a reduction in military spending. It's just that I asked the accounting department to calculate the imported luxury goods and hobbies.
The tariffs on goods and special medicines are too low, only half of the average in many countries. If the price tax on these goods can be increased by 50%, not to mention the expenses on compulsory education and nutritious meals that we have proposed, even
There is no need to pay for the goods of the eight Lord Gods in installments."
Mr. Bai was ready to start applauding. The Finance Minister opposite, Mr. Donovan, had already subconsciously applauded. However, the old accountant realized that this was inconsistent with his neutral persona, and hurriedly held the tea cup and drank.
He covered his face by the way.
As for the clear-minded Chairman of the House Committee, Mr. Edward Shoner, he nodded subconsciously and then shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Of course he knew that this was impossible, at least not during a war.
You must know that the market for the community's luxury goods, high-end tobacco and alcohol, and some special medicines has actually been divided up by the empire and the alliance. Of course, local agents are naturally responsible for the relevant industrial operations. Their political spectrum and
You can imagine the background.
Raising taxes on these commodities will certainly make the old and young of the Co-Prosperity Party heartbroken, but will the compradors of the political allies be able to accept it?
I, aren't we discussing military and war issues?
Mr. Maxell, the chairman of the National Defense Committee, suddenly showed a very headache-like expression and an expression of complete despair at everyone's digression. As the oldest man present, he began to take antihypertensive medicine.
"Okay, okay, everyone, everyone, please don't get sidetracked by these minor issues! Now, my main focus is still on the military." President Nikita said loudly.
He did not seem to be affected by Vice President Hierro's instigation, and his mind still seemed very clear, and he moved directly to the next important topic: "Although we are winning step by step, it is obvious that the pressure on the front line is still great. Every time
Victory is based on huge sacrifices and genius command skills. However, this is definitely not the right path to war."
