Chapter 654: Divide the Cake

"I don't agree, do you know what it means if we take this £500 million order? This means that these warships and cannons that we produce ourselves may fall to our own soldiers in the future, and the reason why the British are giving this order to us at that time is because they did not have enough raw materials and factories to produce these weapons, if we take this order, it means that we are financing the enemy! ”

The Capitol was buzzing with people, and a member of Congress was shouting loudly, his face flushed from the movement.

"The president, whose name is Huang Hanting, a native of Zhejiang Province, belongs to a member of the Progressive Party, and he is also a member of a small party that is rare to be able to enter the National Assembly. Xi Hanqian, secretary general of the government and speaker of the National Assembly, who was sitting next to Su Tong, explained to Su Tong softly.

Su Tong nodded after hearing this, it turned out to be a strange person who relied on hype to get into the Congress, whether it is now or in the future, it is inevitable that there will be such a person, although Sister Feng who does not see the future generations looks so shocking, but doesn't she also rely on hype to mix up a green card, this kind of person can also act as a-stirring stick, and he can't make any big waves, and someone will naturally deal with him later.

Today is the Congress to discuss whether to take over the British government's 500 million British arms order handed over by the Americans, this is the second time Congress has discussed this bill, the last time was because of the fear of affecting the relationship between China and Germany was vetoed by the majority of the members of Congress, this time the Americans came over again, Su Tong pushed the ball to the Congress, this bill has caused controversy among the congressmen.

It's just that at this moment, now the contradictions between the Chinese and the Germans on the battlefield of Soviet Russia have gradually become apparent, and the newspapers have also reported on the confrontation between the Luftwaffe and the Chinese Air Force on the Soviet Russian front, and many people and parliamentarians have begun to express their dissatisfaction with Germany's arrogance and hegemony, and even some of the more pro-German parliamentarians have consciously closed their mouths on this cusp, but there are two sides to everything. There are always some people who like to sensationalize and jump out to show their existence by showing some different "words".

Sure enough, as soon as the words of Councillor Huang fell, a middle-aged man about fifty-one years old in a gray suit stood up and asked loudly: "Since Councillor Huang said so seriously, then I would like to ask Councillor Huang, if we give up this order, will the British really not be able to find other countries to manufacture these weapons?" As far as I know, the British are now trying to improve their relations with our country, and last month they returned the first batch of our antiquities to our country, and in the next few months there will be a second or third shipment of antiquities from British ports. Do you know how many jobs can be added with this order, and how much wealth can be added to us. ”

"This is a congressman from the Congress Party, named Sun Chuanxi, a congressman elected by Shandong's industrial and commercial circles, and he represents the interests of a group of manufacturers in Shandong Province behind his back, and many shipyards and several arms companies in Shandong Province have long been eyeing this order." Xi Hanqian's words of explanation sounded in Su Tong's ears at the right time.

For this order, Su Tong is still inclined to the next, the money of foreign devils is not made in vain, anyway, these warships and planes will be used on the Germans, and before the Germans are defeated, the British have no way to deal with the Chinese government, and Churchill will not even have this bit of political wisdom.

After listening to the debate of the parliamentarians, he gently knocked on the small gavel in his hand and announced the entry into the voting procedure; as Su Tong and most people expected, this bill that was rejected a few months ago was passed by the overwhelming majority of parliamentarians today, and after all, no one can ignore the order that can increase tens of thousands of jobs. Parliamentarians are all on the ballot, if the voters know that their order for 500 million is pushed out like this, it will be difficult for them to keep their seats under the ass, for many people who are used to enjoying the scenery of parliamentarians, if there is no parliamentarian status, it is more uncomfortable for them than death.

Listening to the gurgling sound in his stomach, Su Tong sighed softly, such a simple thing to the Congress had to be pulled for half a day to pass, which made Chief Su quite helpless, sometimes he was also thinking: Is it right or wrong to come up with such a thing to check himself, sometimes when he sees those members of the Congress pointing fingers at everything, he can't wait to take the tǐng machine gun over and make them all abrupt. But every time in the end, Su Tong held back these thoughts, maybe this is the price of the "people", although these systems have one or another flaw, but Su Tong knows the consequences of losing the right to abuse the restraint, even Su Tong, a later person, can not guarantee that everything he does is correct, although these parliamentarians have this or that sī heart and purpose, they also represent their own different interest groups behind them, but they have learned one thing from entering the Capitol, that is, compromise, Yes, a politician who does not compromise is not a qualified politician.

When the results of the voting came out, Su Tongchang sighed, it was finally over, and the next step should be the process of dividing the cake among the domestic arms dealers.

After the meeting, Su Tong slowly walked out of the Capitol and walked towards his car, when suddenly a voice stopped him.

"Jianming, please stay!"

Su Tong looked back, and it turned out that Vice President Jiang was shouting behind him.

"It turned out that Jiang Xianzhi was responsible." Su Tong looked back and smiled, "Is there something wrong with Mr. Jiang?" ”

Vice President Jiang walked quickly to Su Tong's side with a smile on his face: "Are you free today?" Come to my house for a light meal! ”

"Oh!" Su Tong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, this master didn't invite anyone to his home for dinner, especially after becoming this vice president, it seems that there must be something waiting for him today. Su Tong's mind spun quickly, and he really couldn't think of anything that could make the vice president treat, but he still smiled without changing his face: "Of course you can, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, then I'll disturb." ”

"That's good, that's good!" Vice President Jiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Su Tong agree, and with a gesture of his hand, a black sedan slowly drove to the side and stopped, and the driver quickly got out of the car and opened the door. Vice President Jiang smiled and said, "In that case, let's take a car, Jianming, you invite first!" After speaking, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.

Su Tong didn't dare to take it at first glance, and he was dozens of years older than him, if he really got into the car so arrogantly and fell into the eyes of others, the reputation of disrespecting the elders would be solid.

Su Tong shook his head like a broken wave, and insisted on letting Vice President Jiang get into the car first before he sat down, and the two of them naturally had a guess in the eyes of the people who had just come out of the Capitol......

After coming to Vice President Jiang's official residence, the two of them came directly to the small restaurant, at this time Mrs. Jiang had already accompanied the two guests waiting for her, and when she saw these two people, Su Tong understood the purpose of today's Vice President Jiang's invitation, and couldn't help but look back at Vice President Jiang.

Seeing this, the deputy general couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Jianming, I can't help it, let's not take it as an example." ”

At this time, the person who came hurriedly walked up to Su Tong and said with a smile: "President, don't blame Zhongzheng, this is our attention, Zhongzheng and they are also noisy by us, so they can't make this decision, otherwise it will not be easy to meet you." ”

The person who came was Mrs. Jiang's eldest brother-in-law, the former Premier and Minister of Finance, Kong Xiangxifu, seeing this fat man with a smile on his face and thinking of the issues passed by the Congress today, Su Tong couldn't guess the intention of this fat man, so he really didn't have to mix.

"Yes, President! It was our husband's idea to invite you to come today, and you don't blame the two of them. Song Liling on the side also said with a smile on her face.

Looking at the smiling couple beside him, Chief Su's heart instantly turned around an unknown number of times. Since he came to power, he was dismissed from all his posts by himself, and he had to turn to the sea to do business, and I heard that they opened a shipyard in Qingdao, Shandong last year, and it seems that he must be interested in the order of the British.

Thinking of this, Su Tong smiled and said: "How can I blame Vice President Jiang, it is not a simple matter to let Vice President Jiang take the initiative to invite a guest, I have invited him to eat so many times, but he has not even invited me once, it is not easy to come here today, I have to eat back what I say today, but I am a person who is not happy with meat, you must invite me to eat without meat." ”

"Hehe" Everyone laughed when they heard it, and Mrs. Jiang on the side also smiled, "Jianming, don't worry, I know that you are coming today, I have already asked the kitchen to prepare a few good dishes, and I will definitely let you eat to your heart's content today." ”

In the midst of talking and laughing, everyone sat down one by one, Mrs. Jiang lifted a bottle of wine, walked behind Su Tong and filled the wine glass in front of him, "Jianming, I know that you like to drink Moutai, this bottle of 30-year-old Moutai was specially brought by me, you want to drink a few more glasses today." ”

Su Yan hurriedly stood up and raised his glass with both hands, and said with a wry smile: "Madam, aren't you tormenting me, a junior, let me come by myself, otherwise I won't be able to drink this wine." ”

Seeing this, Mrs. Jiang smiled slightly and did not insist, and returned to her original position.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Kong Fatzi, who was sitting opposite Chief Su, said something to Su Tong with a smile.
