Chapter 48 Veto
The enthusiastic applause that Huang Que imagined did not ring.
The delegates below were silent, and the five permanent residents above also had their own concerns.
For a moment, there was an awkward silence in the field.
Huang Que peeked at the expressions of the five permanent residents - Wei Lao, who was the leader, still maintained the composure of the leader and sat upright; on the left side of Wei Lao, Li Gaijiang and Sun Zhenyu, who were wearing gold-rimmed glasses, both lowered their heads and were silent, probably considering the pros and cons of the plan; on Wei Lao's right hand, Zhou Guozheng, who was wiping sweat, was looking at the projection screen beside him; while Ouyang fiddled with the signature pen in his hand and looked at himself thoughtfully.
The supreme spiral that the Yellow Sparrow had just proposed was different from the two drafts they had seen before.
Originally, the original plan of the Supreme Spiral was to directly use the enhanced nucleus inside the corpse to strengthen it, and the baptized organism with the enhanced nucleus would not only be able to enhance its reaction and strength, but also gain some incredible abilities.
But what Huang Que just said is a reagent, and this reality seems to only enhance the reaction and power of the organism.
After a little thought, Ouyang suddenly realized that Wei Lao was afraid.
He was afraid that this uncontrollable power and the supernatural abilities associated with it would not be controlled, and the enhanced core was like a gacha, and what was opened was completely out of their control, Wei Lao was worried that some of the enhanced cores would give someone too much power and lose their rule over the country, so he developed this replacement for simply enhancing physical fitness.
What he needs now is not a salvation force that can fight the tide of corpses outside and bring hope, what he needs now is an elite guard that can maintain and strengthen his position and make himself the sole leader of the country.
After being silent for a while, Huang Que adjusted his state, coughed lightly, and then said: "Now for the third motion of the General Assembly - whether to agree to the application of Spiral-01 to clinical trials in the first phase of the 'Supreme Helix' plan. ”
As Huang Finch's words fell, the delegates began to whisper, and the atmosphere in the audience began to be turbulent, like an ant colony before a heavy rain.
Knock knock.
Wei Lao's knuckles tapped lightly on the table, although he didn't speak, but the meaning was already obvious - don't talk to each other and affect the voting results.
The crowd immediately stopped the commotion, but still no one voted.
Clinical experiments are a relatively elegant way of expression, but in fact, their essence is human experiments.
Spiral-01 is not a drug, fundamentally it is actually an extract of the virus, and no one dares to vote easily on the application of the virus to the human body.
After a long time, Li Gaijiang, who was sitting on the far left of the stage, raised his hand lightly: "I agree." ”
As Li Gaijiang, one of the five permanent residents, raised his hand, Li Gaijiang's supporters among the 63 deputies in the audience also raised their hands hesitantly.
Ouyang saw that things had progressed to this point, and in fact, it had nothing to do with voting.
The voting on the motion initiated by the Wei-Lao Joint Academy of Sciences and the Zhongbei Action Group has evolved into a political line, and the following 63 deputies are now the time to choose their sides, and if they bet right, they can continue to stay in the high-level court in Zhongjing, and if they make a mistake, they may be kicked out of the team.
Once you are kicked out of the wrong team, you should know that the end will never be much better if you think about it with your knees in the current post-apocalyptic crisis, and being thrown into a refugee camp with a bad environment is already an ancestral grave with green smoke.
Ouyang knew very well how tough Wei Lao's methods were, and it was by no means impossible to instruct Huang Que to throw those people out of the quarantine area and feed the zombies.
"I agree," Sun Zhenyu, who was next to Li Gaijiang, also raised his hand.
Some people in the audience once again raised their hands, obviously Sun Zhenyu's supporters.
The whole venue was silent, and an invisible high pressure tightly grasped the hearts of everyone present, and everyone present understood that this was not a vote on a bill, but a decision related to their own life and death.
Under the high pressure, the air seemed to become viscous, and Zhou Guozheng secretly took a deep breath, as if he was afraid of making too much noise, his head was sweating like rain, and the handkerchief that wiped the sweat was going to be soaked.
Ouyang turned his gaze to Zhou Guozheng, his eyes full of nervous worry.
Zhou Guozheng saw Ouyang looking at him, hurriedly avoided Ouyang's gaze, and stared directly at the white paper in front of him.
After a dilemma, Zhou Guozheng raised his head in a bit of a panic: "I, I abstain." ”
Hearing this, Ouyang couldn't help frowning and closed his eyes, scolding Zhou Guozheng in his heart, Zhou Guozheng, you are really confused.
It is true that most of the time everything in the world is not only positive and negative, black and white, and there are a variety of choices between black and white.
But now, apparently, it doesn't belong 'most of the time'.
Although there are people here who are faced with only positive and negative choices, when the two forces have stirred up the storm and set off a struggle, no matter how high the power is, it is impossible for you to be alone, everyone is like a stone in a blender, and you must choose a reliable team to support it unreservedly.
There is no neutrality.
In this brutal struggle without gunpowder, the neutral forces will be like the natives caught between two colonial armies in the seventeenth century, and the first to be squeezed before the two armies clashed was not the British cannons, nor the Spanish fleet, but the innocent natives who were squeezed in the middle.
Zhou Guozheng, how can you reverse such a low-level mistake.
Ouyang glanced at Zhou Guozheng reproachfully, she would rather Zhou Guozheng raise his hand and stand on Wei Lao's side than see her friend become a victim of the political game so recklessly.
Zhou Guozheng expressed neutrality, which made the representatives below who originally regarded Zhou Guozheng as a backer fall into a panic.
They didn't know what to choose for a while, but they all had the same tacit understanding, that is, they should never be neutral.
As a result, after a decision, half of the team that originally belonged to Zhou Guozheng voted for it and half voted against, and almost instantly, the political group headed by Zhou Guozheng fell apart and collapsed.
Five permanent members, two in favour and one abstention.
Only Wei Lao and Ouyang have not yet made a choice.
One of the two is Zhengguo and the other is Vice Guo.
More than half of the delegates in the audience did not cast their ballots, which is enough to prove how strong the political group of the two is.
The audience fell into a deathly silence again, whether it was those who voted for it or those who voted against, or Zhou Guozheng, the commander of the light pole, they all held their breath, waiting for the final decision of the two.
Huang Que stood with his hands hanging from his side, standing as straight as a javelin, still with no expression on his face, but his clenched fists were already dripping with sweat.
After a long silence –
"I'm against it. "I'm against it. ”
Two voices, a man and a woman, sounded in unison.
Ouyang looked at Wei Lao in surprise, only to see Wei Lao's body slightly sideways to Ouyang, who was lowering his hand, and nodded slightly.
Wei Lao actually objected?
This greatly surprised Ouyang, she thought that after she voted against this vote, the huge power of a veto would immediately push herself to the forefront, and she would stand on the opposite side of the three permanent residents, although she was struggling, she would do her best to stop Wei Lao's ambitions and maintain stability in the country.
But she didn't count it, but Wei Lao voted against it at the same time as herself.
Why should he object?
Rao is Ouyang is quick thinking and experienced, and at this time he really can't think of what calculations Wei Lao is still making, it stands to reason that as long as Wei Lao votes in favor at this time, even if this proposal is terminated because of his own veto, but it perfectly forms a situation that includes the three permanent united fronts at the national level, not to mention winning the next bill vote, but it is also eight or nine ten.
It doesn't make sense.
Am my inferences all wrong?
Now Ouyang couldn't help but fall into self-doubt.
The situation was confusing for a while, and Ouyang realized that he didn't have as much control of the current situation as he imagined.
At the same time, most of the remaining deputies below also voted against the votes of Wei Lao and Ouyang, the two cores of power.
Alas.
Huang Que sighed in his heart, and the fierceness in his eyes was fleeting.
Although this result was disappointing to him, it was also expected by him.
He thought about it, no matter what, he was now firmly seated in the position of the leader of the Central North Operations Group, and it was acceptable to arrive.
Thinking of this, Huang Que nodded at the voting results of the deputies who raised their hands below, and said: "There are 63 delegates attending the meeting, of which 21 agree, 42 are against, and zero abstain; ”
"The Resident of the High Court has one veto," Huang continued, "because the Resident of the High Court voted against it, so the first phase of the 'Supreme Spiral' proposal did not pass." ”
Then, Huang Que turned his head to look at Wei Lao.
Seeing that Wei Lao bowed his head slightly and signaled that there was nothing else to do, Huang Que said: "All the bills of this conference have been completed, and I announce that the second wartime Supreme Council of the State High Court has been successfully concluded, and all the delegates are invited to leave the venue in an orderly manner. ”
With the warm applause, the originally undercurrent of the conference finally came to an end with the veto voted by Wei Lao.
But Ouyang feels that the crisis caused by this 'supreme spiral' plan is far from over.
Is the upper position of the yellow finch as simple as a simple sub-correction?
Was Sun Li's death an accident?
Why did Wei Lao vote no?
Everything lingered in Ouyang's mind, and she couldn't figure it out.
Ouyang only guessed half right.
It is true that this crisis did not end there, but what she did not expect was that with the rejection of the proposal this time, a huge crisis for the entire Supreme Court of the State was quietly coming.
