Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Politics of Compromise in the Aftermath

The Ye clan, in the military map of the empire, is low-key and outrageous. In the political map, the Ye clan does not even have a sense of existence, and some parliamentarians even complain that the permanent seat of the Ye clan in the House of Lords is simply a bodhisattva.

Bodhisattvas can sometimes be effective, but what about the Ye clan?

When the National Assembly is in session, their members always raise their hands and follow others to express their positions – always in accordance with the will of the collective, without the slightest idea.

But this time, at the National Assembly convened on the Jeseong incident, the proposal of the parliamentarians was met with a strong counterattack from the Ye representatives.

"On what basis?"

The representative of the Ye clan slapped the table angrily: "Why do you hold Ye Xiao accountable? When the crisis broke out in Jicheng, Ye Xiao, who was in Jicheng, was in danger, guided the civilians to retreat, led the Wuwei Army to fight bravely, and killed how many grass emperors with his own hands? ”

"If it weren't for Ye Xiao, would the government affairs building be able to hold it? Can the Airborne Forces be airborne into Jeseong? ”

"Councilor Ye!" A councillor politely stood up and retorted: "No one denies his credit, but because of his series of indiscriminate deaths, more than 8,000 hostages died!" This is a crime against the civilians of the Empire! ”

"How many civilians did the Grass Emperor kill? But it was precisely because I thought that this daring bastard, 8,000 hostages were swept away in the firefight, and died from stray bullets! It must be severely punished! I firmly oppose the opinion put forward by the military, and this person must be tried by the Court of Justice! ”

"The sin is great! Kidnap the upper peak! The military is also getting more and more useless, and even let a major kidnap the will! ”

"Severe punishment will not be granted! An independent trial must be conducted by the Court of Justice! ”

The parliamentarians poured up one by one and began to make high-pitched speeches, in a word, Ye Xiao must be tried independently by the Law Yuan, the military is incompetent, military spending must be reduced, and the imperial guard is incompetent, and the establishment must be reduced! The Western Theater is incompetent, and it must be strictly investigated!

In a word, the military must suppress it!

Just like the concerns of the generals at that time, the damned politicians began to liquidate afterwards, if it weren't for Ye Xiao carrying the big black pot alone, the politicians who have no right or wrong in their eyes but only interests will definitely want the military to raise a butcher's knife and kill him without leaving a chicken dog!

But now, the black cauldron is on Ye Xiao's back, and after the military gives an explanation, the politicians can only say a few words, and then aim the sharpened machete at Ye Xiao.

Even if Ye Xiao is from the Ye clan, these politicians who are red-eyed for the sake of profit don't care.

As long as Ye Xiao is handed over to the Law Yuan, and the Law Yuan will try it independently, if it becomes a practice in the future, politicians can definitely reach into the army with the help of the Law Yuan.

For the sake of this benefit, not to mention that Ye Xiao is from the Ye clan, even if he is the son of Emperor Shura, politicians dare to do this.

"Ye Xiao can't be handed over to the Justice Yuan for independent trial! But ......" The patriarch of the He tribe, the speaker of the National Assembly, made a statement, and as soon as the words fell, before the text began, a rotten tomato flew up and hit the old man's face.

Poof

The whole National Assembly went crazy with laughter, and then the meeting ended with the heckling of the royal family and the members of the meritorious family - absolutely deliberately.

……

The proposals in the National Assembly have been delayed, but the bigwigs who can really influence the empire have not stopped the pace of meetings, and they are engaged in various compromises and struggles with each other.

The Ye clan is surprisingly tough this time.

"The children of the Ye clan can die in battle, but they must not be killed by their own people! Xiao Xiao did a good job this time, and he can't break the bottom line of my clan! ”

During the negotiation again and again, the Ye clan always firmly believed that if it were not for the super Class A top secret that could not be disclosed, Ye Xiao's behavior was enough to make him hang up the rank of colonel!

In the face of the extremely strong Ye clan, the political forces that try to take advantage of it are helpless one by one - the Ye clan is low-key and outrageous, yes, but I really think that the Ye clan is easy to bully, that is a stupid act, others pretend to be pigs for a long time, but even if the Ye clan has been pretending to be a bug for a hundred years, they are always the lion king!

The largest political forces did not ask Ye Xiao to be dealt with seriously, among which the attitude of the head of state was the most resolute - speaking of which, the military owed Ye Xiao a great favor this time, as long as he had a little wisdom, he could see Ye Xiao's hard work afterwards, so it was only the group of medium and ordinary political forces that barked.

They can't get in touch with top secrets, and they want to catch a big one, so they jump up and down and can't be at peace.

But the public was angry, even if the six royal families and the entire upper house decided to support Ye Xiao, they could not ignore the opinions of the entire National Assembly.

It really annoyed those parliamentarians, next time you will make trouble directly, and the Führer's resolution will not pass that is called funny - politics is such a thing, you dare to be tough to the end without compromise, and others will dare to do the same next time!

So after going through one meeting after another that looked particularly funny, but in fact it was all kinds of temptations, a compromise meeting was held on the sidelines.

Representatives of the military, the Ye family, the royal family, and representatives of various forces gathered together.

"The military is sorry for the huge military spending! Military spending must be cut! The meeting went straight to the point, "The size of the Imperial Guard is too large and must be curtailed!" ”

For their part, the strategic experts of the head of state responded to a report.

Top Secret Reports.

War is imminent! 》

Representatives of all parties silently picked up the report and watched it.

The report declared: The struggle between the theocracy and the imperial power in the Western continent has made waves again, Pope Augustus II is ambitious, and the one in the demon temple is also unwilling, the divine power has been expanding for more than ten years, the imperial power has been suppressed, and the contradiction is very serious.

And the magic crystal block system controlled by the empire has allowed the empire to absorb the benefits of the measure, and at the same time, it has become the target of public criticism, and the land bridge has been taken up by the empire for most of the interests, which of the western forces and friendly neighbors in the east is not jealous?

In order to divert the contradictions, the two major Western powers may join forces to wage war against the empire, while friends and neighbors can't wait for the behemoth of the empire to fall and divide up the interests of the empire.

Therefore, the report says that within five years there will be a major war, and it is very likely that it will be a big war that will sweep the world - the empire should not only not cut military spending, but also increase the size of the army!

The eyes of the politicians lit up.

They cut military spending in order to encroach on the interests of the military, but the proposal of the Führer invited them to share the interests of the expansion of the army.

Well, let's not talk about cutting military spending anymore, let's talk about how to expand the army!

Expansion of the Yulin Army? No problem! We have to reach out!

Expansion of the Wehrmacht? No problem! A lot of our kids need to be promoted!

Shipbuilding? With the size of the existing fleet, it is ready to create three times the replenishment force? No problem! Our shipyards are starving to death! Expand tenfold!

The Air Force is going to be expanded? This is easy to say, let's bid, let's divide the models that the military needs!

The embarrassing meal is over, the scale of the military has expanded, the political forces have made various inputs, and all kinds of manpower have been installed, and everyone is satisfied!

Well, there is one more thing that has not been discussed, how should Ye Xiao deal with it?

I can't let you get your wish, can you? Doesn't that mean we don't even have a fig leaf?

"The Court of Justice and the military have formed a special tribunal to start a trial on Ye Xiao's issue! That's the bottom line! The Ye clan finally threw out the bottom line.

"Good!"

At the National Assembly the next day, after the struggle and expression of the parliamentarians, an agreement was finally reached that a special court was formed by the Military Affairs Yuan and the Justice Yuan, with 53 members serving as the largest jury to try Ye Xiao together.

Everyone's happy!
