The Crystal Palace Of Heaven

Behind the entrance hall is a spacious promenade. The floor of the promenade is paved with white marble, and both sides are covered with exquisite carvings and scrolls. Through the corridor, through a bronze gate carved with elegant patterns and coats of arms, the entrance is a magnificent conference hall.

That is the meeting place of the Federal Parliament, the supreme power and legislative body in the name of the Federation, the legendary Sky Hall.

　　 The structure of the sky hall is a circle, divided into three floors. On a small rostrum in the center are the positions of the speaker and two deputy speakers. They are presided over by the parliament at the beginning of the session; three rows of marble tables and chairs are arranged opposite the rostrum, which are the seats of the highest ruling committee and the heads of various ministries. This constitutes the first layer. The second floor is very large, with about a thousand tables and chairs, which are the seats of the federal senators. The third level is the position of parliament members, such as local representatives, government clerks or parliamentary staff.

　　 Of course, Lu Xi and Arantis have no right to sit in the first two rows, only stay in the third row.

　　 At this time, the speaker at the center of the rostrum glanced around and nodded with satisfaction, officially announcing the start of the meeting.

　　Like all conferences, the Speaker and all participants took the oath on behalf of federal citizens to express their love and respect for civil rights and democracy. Then the speaker stood and began to elaborate on the spirit of the conference.

The speaker is a dry and skinny old man. Even if he is wearing a big white robe, he can't hide the shriveled figure. It feels like a small match can make the other person burn. However, it was such an old man who supported the crystal glasses on the bridge of his nose and started talking.

To tell the truth, the speaker's speech is really not blunt, and not only is not gorgeous, but also has a flat style of discussion. He used the tone that was as dry as the figure, slowly reading the speech in his hand, and it took a few hours to read it, completely ignoring the people in the room.

"... So, I firmly believe that for the long-term prosperity of the Federation and for the people's well-being and prosperity, all colleagues and people will be firmly united in the center of the alliance, be pragmatic and innovative, and strive for progress! New tasks must be completed and new goals can be achieved. Reached. Long live the Federation! "

After the above heated summary of his speech in a shrivelled voice, the speaker's speech was finally over. The audience applauded sparsely, and Lu Xi took a long breath, before he let himself fall asleep.

After, the person sitting in the center of the ruling committee opposite the rostrum stood up and debugged the amplified crystal in front of him.

"No, will you come back?"

This is a fat and slippery fat man, it is easy to think of an oil drum, and it is a sharp contrast to the speaker like Chai He. If you tie the two together and throw a small flame, it will definitely burn magnificently.

"Who is that?" Lu Xi asked Arantis. In fact, from the seat, he has basically guessed the identity of the other party, but the image is really a bit difficult to accept.

"Don't you know?" Sure enough, Arantis looked at Lu Xi with some surprise, "That's Master Crobart, chairman of the ruling committee."

"Oh, the legendary supreme head." Lu Xi sighed and dared not hope much for the future of the Federation.

Crobalt was sitting on the left side of Russell, and on the right was a purple hair, a cold-faced, middle-aged man with eyes like an eagle falcon. Needless to guess, this must have been the father of the seaweed head, Federal Minister of the Interior Turner Verambart, who is said to be the leader of the nobility of the doormen and the deadly enemy of Russell in politics.

　　 Compared to these two deputies, Crobalt is too inconspicuous. If it weren't for the fat, fat figure, it would be zero.

With such a strong deputy, the chair of the head of state might be a little hot.

At this time, the speech of the head of state began. Compared with the speaker's speech and report like the old lady's foot-clothes, the speech of the Chairman Chairman is finally better.

He summarized his work report in simple sentences. A very clear segment is used to point out the achievements and problems since the ruling, and point out: all the work is done by the wise leadership of the parliament, the unity of the knowledge alliance, and I have not forgotten to praise the Rother and the special Na, disguised two powerful deputies a flatter.

"I do n’t have any credit. All credit should be attributed to the people of the Federation, to the full support of the government and colleagues in the alliance. Let us firmly unite under the glorious leadership of the learning alliance, and carefully implement it in the goddess ’s guidance. The four principles of "emancipating the mind, seeking truth from facts, struggling hard, and pioneering and innovating" will create a better and greater tomorrow for the Federation. Long live the Federation of Nadia! "

For a supreme head of state, this is completely unintentional speech. However, the victory was short and capable, and the people who had been tortured by the speaker for a long time suddenly rejoiced and applauded.

"Now, please ask the Minister of the Interior to come on stage to conduct detailed national inquiry."

It stands to reason that the detailed national question should come from the chairman. Lu Xi looked at the chairperson Zheng Zhengwei sitting, and he did not see any dissatisfied expression on his joyful face.

　　 "Within this year, the six Talon Bridges connecting Kahle Island, Habam Island and Infatilik Island have been completed..."

"The seaport expansion project of the Port of Groren is about to be launched, and once completed, the throughput will reach more than double the current ..."

"Within this year, the state will plan to set aside one million gold mira to build new refugee settlements, and actively solve the problem of reemployment ...

"... In summary, after the wise leadership of the Learning Alliance, the majority of allies and colleagues are united, the Federation has achieved extremely brilliant achievements in the first three years of development!"

Turner finished the detailed state report with a calm tone. If only from the data and examples listed in the report, it seems that the entire federal situation is all right. The utopian society that keeps its doors closed at night and has no way to go is as if it will soon be realized. However, at the end, Turner's words suddenly turned:

"So, I think: The country's military operations are now ripe for the entire Namoa Mountains. Now, the floating fortress in the eastern airspace of the Federation should be expanded to prepare for the final victory."

No one thought of a good national situation question. In the end, it suddenly turned into a war proposal, and the whole audience was suddenly in an uproar.

"Quiet! Quiet!" The speaker struggled to maintain the order of the meeting place, but his shriveled body and weak voice really lacked deterrence, and he had to pick up the mallet in front of him and hit the table hard.

Finally, the meeting place was quiet, but the occasional whispering whispered a sign of unsteadiness.

"Master Turner," the speaker supported his forehead with some headache. "Today we have no issue of foreign war."

"I think the country's economic situation is very good, and the domestic social structure is also very stable. So, as the vice chairman of the ruling party and the secretary of the interior, I have an obligation to propose a bill against the future direction of the country. This is the responsibility entrusted to me by the law and civil rights, Do you have any comments on this? "

"That being said," the Speaker scratched his head helplessly, "This is war after all ..."

"This is not a war," the aggressive Minister of the Interior directly interrupted the poor speaker. "The Black Flag wing people of the Namoa Mountains do not have a so-called country, so why not talk about war. At best, this is just a large scale. Action of the bandits. "

"Fellow colleagues, conscientious parliamentarians, don't forget: just this year, the people of the Black Flag Wings in the Namoa Mountains have created thousands of cases and tens of thousands of innocent people worldwide. The deceased. The inhabitants of the sky are enjoying the glory brought to us by the goddess Nadia and the Alliance of Knowledge, in the mountains to the east, the world's largest cancer is still exuding the odor of plunder and killing. Cancer, is also the goddess and the truth of the Arcane Law gives us a sacred mission and justice! "

Just as the Turner Minister of the Interior was enthusiastic, Lu Xi looked at Arantis and asked, "Why is the proposal of the war made by the Minister of the Interior?"

"In theory, of course, it should be the teacher, but how could the teacher suddenly make such an unreasonable proposal." Alan sighed. "Moreover, the old fellow Turner said that he didn't really want to go to war. The expansion project of the floating fortress was completed. "

"What do you say?"

"I've seen the floating fortress next to Namoa Mountain. It's not so much a fortress, it's a surveillance station and sentry post. To expand him into a military fortress that can support the combat of 10,000 troops, at least you need to go Millions of dollars in funds. Now the largest engineering businessman in the Federation is Turner ’s youngest uncle ... If you count the engineering rebates again, how much can that guy make? "

　　 "Uh... It's really a tacky motive. Fortunately, he was so passionately eloquent, he opened his mouth and closed his mission."

"Achieving the most tacky goals with the most passionate tone, isn't this just the trick of unscrupulous politicians?"

At this point, Russell had slowly stood up and gave Turner a deep look. He turned back and faced the rostrum.

"As the Federal Minister of Military Affairs, I have a responsibility to express views and doubts about all military operations. Now, I can confirm that large-scale military operations against Namoa at this time are not only a good choice, they can even be called For no reason!"

"Hehe ~~ I can't think of the magnificent Master Magister Russell, but he is also so afraid of the Black Flag Wing ..." A member of the council groaned, and should be Turner's.

"Is it fearful to be right?" Russell looked at the other calmly, but made the other speechless. "I am the Secretary of State for Military Affairs. I must be responsible for 300,000 federal soldiers. All of you are parliamentarians and bureaucrats. Is n’t it responsible for millions of people in Lebanon? Should n’t we always have a heart of fear? Otherwise, today ’s fear of unsuccessful wars will not be afraid of the people who empower you tomorrow, and even the day after tomorrow. Fearing the torture of your conscience and faith. Over time, the future of the Federation may not be better than the ancient Oakland Empire destroyed by war and riots! "

"You said too much." Turner smiled disapprovingly. "Did we say that the war of justice that we launched for the stability of the entire continent would destroy the Union?"

"War is not a problem, but a war launched at the wrong time, even if it has a righteous reputation, is nothing but a stupid act of the barbarian." Ruther said, "Since Lord Turner thinks the country is prosperous, the timing is ripe. , Then, I will just question one or two on your national speech. "

"... Please speak."

"You said that the country will provide 1 million mira this year to help refugees build new settlements. So, I would like to ask, this area is one million, but it is only one thousandth of this year's financial income, which can help How many refugees? Is it 10,000, 30,000, or 100,000? Now, the federal government has lost more than three million refugees without any source of income, and accounts for more than one tenth of the total federal population. This data, Why didn't you just talk about it? "

"You said that the country will try its best to solve the labor problem for refugees, so I want to ask you, what does this 'try as much as possible'. How much time and material resources are needed, and most importantly, do you have a comprehensive plan? "

"So, it takes our efforts." Turner just shrugged his shoulders at this aggressive question. "The refugee problem caused by the unemployment rate is now the country's biggest destabilizing factor. Where is the short time? Can it be solved? However, if we completely clear the Namoa Mountains and occupy the mountains ’minerals and highlands, at least two million more jobs will be created."

"Waging a war when the domestic unemployment rate exceeds one-tenth? Don't you know how much burden this will cause to the people? Don't you know? If you win, if you lose, it will be the entire social and economic structure. Collapse. Sorry, I cannot bet on the future of the country in an irresponsible war. "

"Adult Russell is too alarmist. You said that you want to solve the refugee problem, and I have proposed a solution, but you objected. Then I am probably not responsible for the problems afterwards?"

Russell did not look at Turner again. He turned around and looked at the speaker sitting on the high platform opposite.

"In fact, the problem of the unemployment rate is not because of the saturation of social resources, but because some systems make the distribution of social resources extremely uneven. I want everyone here to understand this. Now, I would like to Responsibility and human conscience, propose to abolish slavery. Please ask Congress to put my proposal on the agenda! "

This remark made the noise more than Turner ’s declaration of war. The speaker on the stage looked at Ruther, standing like a mountain, and forgot to maintain the order of the venue.

Another MP who broke the deadlock. He stood up angrily, screaming loudly.

"Private property is sacred and inviolable. This is the content of the twelve sacred declarations of the" Blue Manifesto. "The motion you proposed is a naked violation of civil rights and democracy!"

"That's Shirubak, the biggest slave owner in the UU reading www.uukanshu.com." Alantis whispered to Lu Xi.

"Slaves are also higher creatures, and they are equal beings under the same sun as us. Treating them as property and animals is not trample on civil rights and democracy?" Another parliamentarian stood up and retorted.

"That was Congressman Vimar, professor of the Department of Philosophy of Nadia National University." Arantis continued to introduce.

"Oh, this great country is the heaven that our ancestors made countless sacrifices to establish. Why should some people who have never worked hard have the same rights? Isn't this the biggest undemocratic?"

"Democracy is money lending, but also borrowed and repaid?"

"I didn't expect you to be an idealist. However, I am a mature politician and cheap humanitarianism is actually meaningless to the country."

"When did conscience become cheap humanitarianism again?"

　　 "Suddenly say what liberation of slaves, this will inevitably cause large-scale social unrest. So, this is not responsible for the country and the people!"

The huge conference hall is full of such fierce debate. Sitting in such a noisy environment, Lu Xi looked at the magnificent murals in the conference room, but he could not feel the sacredness and solemnity anyway.

"Politics, what a sensational picture this is!" Lu Xi sneered, only to feel that she swallowed a lot of flies and wanted to vomit, but she couldn't spit it out.

The chairperson sitting at the chair knocked on the table, finally making the meeting quieter.

"Vote ..." His voice seemed weak.

The setting sun shone outside the azure palace, and the magnificent zenith was plated with a hint of dark yellow.
