Chapter XXVI: War and Peace
During the four days of waiting for the start of the parliamentary trial, the "Typhoon" slowly cut into the orbit of Mars in a spiral course, following the direction of the revolution of Tianyang. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In this way, the speed can be maintained at a high speed and the speed will not be greatly reduced due to a large change of direction. At the same time, sailing in the direction of the revolution, even if the anomalous shadow area formed by the "Typhoon" is discovered, it will be mistaken for a damaged aircraft that is falling in the direction of the sky because of its very regular spiral track.
As of the day of the parliamentary trial, when the "Typhoon" approached the orbit of Mars, it still maintained a speed of more than 20,000 kilometers per second. Even if there is a large stall due to the change of direction, it can ensure that it can approach Tianjing within two hours and carry out the final step of the rescue operation.
On the surface of Tianjing, because Captain Morgan's trial was a parliamentary trial, it was open to the public in addition to the media. As long as you apply through formal channels, you will have the opportunity to obtain the qualification to be an observer. With the channel of Awa-ker, Fengyu and Monica easily obtained the qualification of auditing, although the position is not very good, but after entering the venue, you can still borrow Monica's ability to adjust.
The public trial was scheduled to take place in the square in front of the Houses of Parliament. This square is called the Defense Square, and it was built to celebrate the victory of the Tenkyo Defense of that year. The square covers an area of an entire square kilometre and is used as a judgment seat by the staircase of the Houses of Parliament to the north, and to the south by the public to observe.
On either side of the Parliament building, a police MT-G team in black and white paint served as a guard. As for the "King Kong", the exclusive custom model of the G series, it is hidden on the roof of the building, overlooking the defense square from a high vantage point.
The defense is a little stronger than expected, and 10 MT-Gs will be enough to build a line of defense that will be difficult to breach if they enter Bastion mode. However, it was not a big problem, and in the face of tens of thousands of spectators in the square, MT-G simply could not open fire at will. The real threat is still only the G series of the "King Kong" on the roof.
Fengyu and Monica entered the venue at 9 a.m., while the public trial was scheduled for 11 a.m. The two-hour wait was not a wait, and the lawmakers entered the room at 9:30 a.m. for an important public debate.
This debate was even more important for the New Asian Republic than the public trial that followed, on "War and Peace", to discuss whether the war between the New Asian Republic and the UAC occupation zone should continue.
This debate will not lead to a vote, but will lead to a referendum in which all citizens will decide the future of the country.
Feng Yu had been busy planning the rescue of Captain Morgan before, and he didn't care about other things at all, and it wasn't until he came to Defend Square today that he heard about it for the first time.
"War and peace? Does this need a parliamentary debate and a referendum? Feng Yu turned around and asked the others in confusion. As a citizen of New Asia, even though he has been forced to defect, he still cares about the future and future of the country.
The others looked at him with disdain and asked, "You're here to see the public trial, right?" Young people don't care about national affairs at all, so they know to watch the excitement. ”
Feng Yu was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Fortunately, the man just nagged, and then began to explain to him, "In the past, there was no Xinjing Star Domain, and there was only one Tianjing, which made the people feel insecure, so they had to fight the UAC." It's different now, we have enough habitable planets, and the universe is so big, and there are so many star fields waiting for us to develop, so why bother with UAC? ”
"Do you think wars are only because people don't feel safe? Because we only have one Tianjing? Feng Yu looked at the stranger in front of him in surprise, "Have you forgotten that the UAC invaded the New Asian Galaxy back then?" Forget that our Dikyo is occupied? Forgot that the other party has already hit TD1? War is not what we want, it is the enemy who imposes it on us! ”
The man shrugged, "It's not like you can't win." If it continues like this, it will make the people's livelihood miserable, so it is better to negotiate peace with the UAC. Well, I'm not going to discuss this with you, let's hear what the parliamentarians have to say. ”
Feng Yu was completely silent, it seems that he hijacked Captain Morgan to Tianjing, and then lured himself to come to the rescue, I'm afraid that things are far from being as simple as I thought before. Now, combined with this debate on "war and peace" and the referendum that will take place in the future, it seems that NO is playing a big game of chess and building momentum for the future.
At this time, the debate in front of the parliament building had already begun, and as one of the sponsors, the representatives of the parliamentarians of the main peace faction were the first to take the stage to express their political views. The tone of his argument is basically the same as the statement of the person next to Fengyu, but he speaks more beautifully, and he opens and closes his mouth to put the people first, rest with the people, let go of hatred, and carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future.
The parliamentarians of the main war faction who appeared next on the stage, as Feng Yu said, repeatedly stated that New Asia was a victim, that the war was imposed on them by the enemy, that they should be country-oriented, and that there would be no end to the nest, and that unless the UAC returned to Dijing and withdrew from New Asia, there would be no peace.
This argument is in line with Fengyu's point of view, but he is not optimistic about the main battle faction. He is no longer the young and hot-blooded teenager he was back then, and he sees many things in his eyes and knows a lot in his chest.
Being the party that takes the initiative to sue for peace means that the new Asian Republic will give up its territorial claims to Dijing. The reason why the pro-peace legislators dare to openly put forward such a bill that can be called a traitor is not because there is such a trend of thought and soil in the country.
Man is inert, born in sorrow and dies in peace. Tianjing is too far away from the battlefield, and the surface residents of Tianjing feel superior to others by virtue of being residents of the capital star, and they are even more eager for a comfortable life. The idea of avenging the martyrs and recovering their homeland was too hard for them, and they did not want to take on this responsibility.
Thirty years have passed, an era is over, a generation is old, the hope of recovering the homeland is still slim, and now there is a habitable planet of Xinjing, the conditions are better than Dijing, and everyone feels that there is no need to fight to the death.
Until now, only the direct victims of the war and some space force soldiers still insist on recovering their homeland.
Just as the Lord and the members of the parliament said, the war costs the people and money, and every year the new Asian republic spends a considerable part of its tax revenue on military spending, rather than on the people. If this money is used for development and construction, perhaps the starry sky map of the new Asian Republic will be extended to the rear for another few tens of light-years.
Well, even with the previous engine technology, places more than 100 light-years were a little too far away and inconvenient, then now that the third generation of jump engines is coming, the speed of future ships will generally increase by five to six times, which means that the scope of human development will also be expanded by five to six times, reaching more than 500 light-years.
Under such a premise, peace is indeed the best option.
But the people who eat melons in New Asia think so, which does not mean that this is really the case. According to the information obtained by Awa-Ker, most of the so-called members of the main peace faction are actually parliamentarians who are bought by NO, or political spokespersons who represent the interests of NO members like Xia Seiko.
I am afraid that these people are throwing out the rhetoric of peace at this time, not really to seek peace, but to foreshadow the merger of the New Asian Republic and the UAC occupation zone under the control of NO.
At this time, the parliamentary debate came to an end, and the concluding arguments of the main and factional councilors proved Fengyu's opinion, "The world is so big, human beings should go out and take a look, instead of fighting around these dozens of light years and fighting for life and death in this small galaxy!" This is a new era, in which mankind should abandon the estrangement and prejudice between countries, form a unified human nation, and jointly develop the universe! ”
As these words were spoken, a burst of thunderous applause erupted in the square, which lasted for a long time, and it was obvious that the Lord and the faction were more popular on the surface of Tianjing.
Feng Yu muttered quietly in his mouth, "The country is home, you must have a safe home before you are in the mood to go out, if there is a robber at home who is worried about it, who can rest assured to go out?" ”
The unification of the country in the mouth of the Lord and the faction of parliamentarians and the bandits in the mouth of Fengyu are the same thing -- the hegemony of NO!
