158 Unexpected Assists
Orion Arm, Solar System, Presidential Palace of the Confederation of Earthly Humans.
At this time, a full 15 days have passed since Lin Fan captured the capital area of Kabat, and the day after Lin Fan took the capital area, Li Cangqiong and Sophia took Federer, and Fujiwara Ayako and Carol also took Federer.
The eleven fleets of the First Legion are now sweeping through the entire territory of the Kabat Empire, and it is expected that it will be able to completely control its entire territory in another ten days.
And today, a group of staff members in the presidential palace gathered again, and for nothing else, Qin Tian had already escorted the terminal device of the Rio Alliance to the presidential palace!
On the conference table was a ring-box-like organizer with a circular device, the size of a marble.
Lin Zhen, who had finished reading the manual, stretched out his hand and touched it lightly, and immediately, an operation interface was projected.
Lin Zhen clicked the confirmation button on it with his hand with some curiosity, and found that it was still tactile, which was obviously a high-end application in energy.
Then the page changed, and a virtual agreement appeared, titled Xi'o Alliance Agreement, and there was a reminder on the side, you must agree to all the terms of the agreement and sign it, before you can enter the terminal!
Of course, Lin Zhen asked Ed and a group of staff members to come forward and study the terms together.
As they looked at each of these agreements and discussed them from time to time, they found that these agreements were unexpectedly fair, and they did not see any overlord clauses that obviously oppressed the members, but rather more like a multi-civilization cooperation agreement.
Of course, the Hitlian Empire, as the leader of the alliance, will certainly gain more benefits than other civilizations, but that is all.
It wasn't until everyone saw Article 28 that many people frowned.
[Article 28 of the Agreement of the Rio-Seeker Alliance]
As a member of the Alliance, it is necessary to maintain the unity and continuity of its civilization policy, and the Alliance does not recognize the system of government that frequently changes leaders.
As the leader of a civilization, the Alliance has the right to remove the civilization unless it is voluntarily resigned, physically exhausted, or at the end of its life, and other normal reasons.
...
This hard rule can be said to have directly hit the sore spot of the Federation.
Earlier, Lin Zhen and Ed had sought to change the length of the presidential term, after all, any policy in the interstellar era could be tens, twenty years, or even hundreds of years!
As a result, your leader will be replaced in a maximum of 30 years, and the new person will not be satisfied with the policy after coming up, and will have to change it at one time, and cancel it at the other.
Then any policy will lose its sustainability, and for the federation as a whole, it will be absolutely destructive.
Therefore, Lin Zhen and Ed were ready to revise the relevant system so that the president's term of office could reach a maximum of 100 years, but this kind of thing, how much resistance can be imagined.
Not to mention external resistance, even more than half of Lin Zhen's own 9 staff members firmly disagreed.
In the end, this matter has been delayed, and it has not been resolved until now, and it looks like Lin Zhen has entered his last term.
However, even Lin Zhen didn't expect that this article would be made mandatory in the agreement of the Rio Alliance.
However, Lin Zhen can understand this approach very well, no one likes their partners to change policies all day long, which will make things full of uncertainty!
Ed, on the side, smiled but quickly hid it.
He also didn't expect that this Xiao League would give them an assist, and it was even more thorough than Lin Zhen's previous plan with Ed, and it directly became that they could not be replaced unless they voluntarily resigned, their health was exhausted, and their lives were at the end of their lives, which was really an unexpected surprise!
That way, things are more actionable, and Ed is now confident about reopening the topic.
"Guys, what do you think of Article 28?"
Ed asked the crowd deliberately.
"This..."
Several of the staff members were tempted to oppose it as vigorously as they had done before, but when they looked at the civilization agreement displayed on the terminal of the Rio Alliance, the words seemed to be stuck in their throats and could not be spoken.
"I know that a few of you are not convinced, but now we are also an interstellar civilization, and you have also seen several alien civilizations, haven't you, coupled with the agreement of the Xiao Alliance this time, can you tell me which civilization has a leader changed every 30 years?"
"Take the Io Federation as an example, they are the only civilization we have seen that is not a lifelong leader, but they are also a term of office for a thousand years!"
"Don't you still understand how important policy continuity is to an interstellar civilization?"
Ed looked at several of his staff, and his face was full of hatred.
"Vice President Ed, it's useless for you to convince us, the federal justices have to vote to change the federal presidential law!"
A staff member said helplessly, after all, the president has no right to amend the presidential law, otherwise whoever becomes president will revise the presidential law according to his liking.
Therefore, if the presidential law is to be amended, it must be voted on by the seven independent justices of the federation.
And these seven justices are basically the spokesmen of one party's forces, and it is simply difficult to ask them to agree to the amendment and change the president to a lifelong system.
"Leave this matter to me, you just have to show me the parts of the presidential law that need to be amended according to the agreement of the Rio Alliance, and I will convince the justices!"
Ed looked confident, but he was holding a king bomb in his hand, and they couldn't help but disagree at all.
Come on, on one side is the destruction of the Federation and the extinction of humanity! On the other hand, it is agreed to amend the presidential law and change the presidential term to a lifelong system, so choose one for yourself!
If you don't know how to choose, then the federation will simply disintegrate, and there is no medicine to help!
"Ed, are you sure?"
Lin Zhen glanced at Ed and asked.
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
"Okay, you do things, I've always been relieved!"
Then the two looked at each other and smiled!
The staff below looked at the two of them and were speechless for a while, you two are really enough, is it interesting to make the base all day long?
The meeting lasted until midnight, and the group finally finished considering all the articles.
Among the 178 terms of the agreement, there is nothing wrong with the rest except for the issue of the term of office, and as long as the term of office is resolved, the civilization agreement of the Gio Alliance can be officially signed.
Early the next morning, Ed went out with a pile of papers, and he was going to visit all seven independent justices of the Federation in one day!
Now this matter cannot be delayed, the more it is done one day earlier, the day earlier humanity can start to move forward!
