Chapter 490: Hard Bones
The Yiyuan Congress was ruthless, which shows the tragedy of the war.
Being arrested in an extraordinary period meant the end of his political life, Zhang Jiao was unwilling to take risks, and he didn't eat breakfast, so he hurriedly drove to Date Street.
I bought a risotto set meal at a roadside fast-food restaurant, and hurriedly trotted all the way into the council hall of the Kashgar City Council.
The time was just stuck at 9 o'clock, about half an hour before the parliament convened, but more than half of the councillors had already arrived.
Obviously, everyone smelled a certain smell from the special decree of the Diet, and they were rarely diligent in government.
"What a stick. Zhang Jiao, who was alone, sat down on the edge of his own high, looked at the flies and dogs, and muttered to himself as he gathered a few large and small groups according to the party, and discussed the voting measures.
After that, he opened the plastic lunch box in his hand and took a big bite of the rice.
When he was eating the incense, the faction of Yiyuan's largest traditional political party, the 'Sand Diggers', in the Kashgar House had already dissolved early after setting the tone.
The members sat back down.
And Bai Mingya, a beautiful lawyer who had just been placed by Zhang Jiao in the last parliament, sat down in the seat next to him, turned her head to look at Zhang Jiao with a smile, and took the initiative to talk again: "Councilor Zhang didn't have breakfast." ”
"Yes, Councilor Bai, I wanted to go to a friend's shop to eat sashimi, but suddenly I received a call from the General Affairs Bureau, so I rushed over for a meeting. Zhang Jiao replied with no nutritious nonsense: "I was too hungry on the road, so I bought something to eat."
I'm sorry, it's a little rude. ”
"Last night, the mixed mecha division of the 9th Army Corps was ambushed and was wiped out by the Jiang Chu people, do you know?" Bai Mingya said with a smile when he heard this.
Since Jiang Chu's raid on Yiyuan, Zhang Jiao has paid great attention to studying the comparison of military strength between the two sides.
I know that the 1st, 3rd, and 9th legions of the Yiyuan Defense Force are elite troops, and the mecha troops are undoubtedly the elite of the elite.
The battle damage of a divisional unit sounds insignificant, but in fact the losses are quite heavy.
He couldn't help but be surprised: "For an ace unit like the 9th Legion, there must be at least more than 200 high-level mecha in the mecha division, so it's gone."
Did Jiang Chu use unconventional weapons, or did he dispatch legendary powerhouses?"
"I didn't expect you to know a lot about military affairs. Bai Mingya sighed and said, "Because the Jiang Chu people blocked the satellite signal during the battle, no one knows the process of the battle.
It is only known that not a single person from the Panzer Division of the 9th Army Corps escaped, and it is said that there were no prisoners. ”
"Is it so miserable, isn't that just shoveling grass and removing the ground, and not even leaving grass seeds!
Jiang Chu people have finally shown their true colors as cult madmen. Zhang Jiao swallowed and spat at the mouth.
Bai Mingya nodded silently, and suddenly said in an affirmative tone without warning: "You abstained from voting on the bill of 'forcing trading enterprises to reduce profits and stabilize prices' in the last parliament. ”
"What?" said Zhang Jiao, pretending to be stupid, wide-eyed.
Bai Mingya smiled and said, "Are you really a mess when you vote by secret ballot?"
In fact, the offices of the legislators are leaking like a sieve, and the results of the vote can be inquired quickly.
Then ask someone to deduce it, distinguish the truth of the information, and then combine the voting results, although everyone voted may not be 100% correct, but nine times out of ten can guess it. ”
"Ha, I haven't even set up an office, and I'm completely single-handed..."Zhang Jiao heard this, and thought about deceiving people.
was interrupted by Bai Mingya with an expressionless face, "After getting the results of other people's votes, isn't it easy to deduce what votes you voted."
Councilor Zhang, you didn't promise me anything last time, let alone abstain, even if you vote in favor, I have nothing to say.
But to deny it now would be an insult to my IQ. ”
"Ah, the risotto is cold. Hearing Bai Mingya's words on this, Zhang Jiao no longer argued, smiled dryly, said a word to the horse's mouth, and continued to eat as if nothing had happened.
"You're a natural politician. Bai Mingya saw his scoundrel appearance, and said with a faint disdain in his tone.
After that, he no longer knew the demagogy of emotion and reason like this time, but said straightforwardly: "Now that the national crisis is at the head, it is not the time to care about local interests."
A large part of the 'war special tax' paid this time will be used to pay for the families of the casualties, stabilize the morale of the soldiers, and hire the mercenary groups of Ostuchi to participate in the war.
If you only think about winning over voters, it's too late to regret being a slave in the country.
I hope you will carefully consider your position when you vote. ”
Zhang Jiao didn't raise his head when he heard this, and said softly, "I will." After eating and drinking, he silently waited for the convening of the council.
When it came time to vote, he did not hesitate to approve the maximum tax percentage.
When the voting was over and the votes were being counted, a surprising scene appeared, and the 29 members of the Kashgar House unanimously passed the bill to levy the largest amount of the 'war special tax'.
When the last 'approval' was shouted out from the prosecutor's mouth, Liu Zhengdao, who took safeguarding the interests of the local people at the bottom as the core of his political participation, suddenly stood up and raised his arms and shouted, "Yiyuan will win, the people of the desert will win, and justice will win!"
The elderly 'Sand Diggers' who were the Speaker of the House of Representatives did not stop the rival party's right-hand man from showing his gaffe in the solemn and solemn parliament, but silently plucked his eyes and sounded the wooden hammer that symbolized the end of the parliament.
Then he slowly got up, patted his chest, and let out the unique terrible howl of the Yiyuan people when they encountered wolves in the desert, which was also the cry of the Yiyuan ancestors who were the first to overcome thorns and thorns and open up a state!
Seeing this, Brother Zhang couldn't help muttering to himself: "This is the old man talking about the madness of youth."
have all chosen to be politicians and still maintain a trace of enthusiasm, Yiyuan people are really innocent. “
After that, ignoring the howls around him that were louder than one another, he silently got up and walked out of the Kashgar House Hall.
I thought secretly in my heart, "It seems that Jiang Chu has chosen a hard bone to gnaw, maybe he will have to break a few teeth if he can't steal the chicken."
Leave the war alone and focus on exploring the ruins. I drove back to Binyang Street.
I didn't go back home, so I went to the 'Hanju Yusheng Canteen'.
It's not noon on a day off, and there are few diners.
After Zhang Jiao greeted the acquaintances working in the canteen, he came to Li Binzhu, who was idle to sharpen his knife, and said with a serious face: "It is said that the mixed mecha division of the 9th Army was ambushed last night and was completely annihilated by the Jiang Chu people.
As a result, the city council unanimously voted today to pay the maximum amount of the 'war special tax' to the central government, which seems to be not a good situation. ”
