Chapter 378: The Last Resistance
After debate and subsequent voting, the war mobilization bill initiated by the ruling party finally reached the final stage, and the voting of the parliamentarians had just ended, and the sickly-looking Caranella's face turned as pale as snowflakes.
"Alan, what have you all done?" She gradually came to see the truth from the shock, and confronted the leader of the Liberal Italian Party, Alan Brown. Hayes, Caranella, a 'lifelong friend' who is on a political par with her, took the lead in pressing the green light for this shameful war in the party vote just now.
"Why?" Caranella stared at apologetic Hayes, anxious to know an answer.
"We need a visible future, Ryan...... So ...... "Allen. Hayes said regretfully to his friend.
"So those rumors are true......" Caranella stared at him, the old councillor's melancholy eyes that Hayes did not dare to look at him.
"Rovoli. Skaya meets with Bunzhong, and then presses you in an internal meeting......" She leaned weakly in her wheelchair, hissing the oxygen tube in her nose in the midst of the deathly silence. And in the face of her accusations, Allen. Hayes chose to respond with silence.
......
"The results of the vote count against the 151 motion of the 40th year of the Bang League...... "Parliamentary Speaker Heidi. Congressman Morahan's high-pitched voice echoed through the hall at this time.
"166 votes in favor, 103 votes against and 1 abstention." She read aloud. "The motion passes a preliminary ruling by a majority of more than 60 per cent of the votes, and it will be up to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and Special Commissioner Unity to choose whether to use the veto power of one vote."
After Morahan announced the preliminary passage of the bill, the hall returned to silence, at this moment, 270 pairs of eyes looked in the direction of the rostrum, for this bill to determine the future trend of the silver alliance, whether it can be officially authorized or not, now completely depends on the supreme power of the two seats on the stage.
"Our people have always advocated peace and opposed war and violence...... "Cheney, a Unitit. Ankanes spoke first. "But I believe this is not a bill for my people to decide, so I waive the veto." As soon as Ankanes's words fell, he immediately caused a stir in the hall, and more than a hundred councillors who had voted against it rose up to attack the Unity.
"Why not use the veto?" Some people questioned.
"Don't think the war won't burn Nilde! Mr. Commissioner. "There are also people who make intimidation.
"As an ally who has been relieved of the extinction crisis by humanity, is this the return of the nobles?" Some parliamentarians put it this way.
"It turns out that you also went to the same place with Wen Zhong, a conspirator!"
"Quiet, please be quiet!" Ankanes stretched out his hand to try to calm down the passionate councillors, he looked at the temporary speaker beside him, he was supposed to be there to maintain order in the hall at this time, but Shen Yuehe just closed his eyes and stroked the wrinkles on his forehead in front of the table.
"As far as the current government structure of the Silver Alliance is concerned, it is not much different from the Human Federation of decades ago, it is an alliance dominated by nobles, not Kande, let alone Unity." He said a fact that had been controversial since the early days of the alliance, which caused the lawmakers who were already noisy in the hall to gradually silence their voices.
"We are just aliens listening from the sidelines, and interfering and obstructing can only add to the confusion of the system that the aristocracy has worked so hard to establish." Ankanese said that this famous scholar of the alien race was still young, and he was not like the old Jeb. Rilmetz, like him, has seen through all the hypocrisy of humanity in his decades-long diplomatic career.
"The Unites always want peace and will condemn every attempt to disrupt the balance of the galaxy, and I certainly look forward to, and trust that our Mr. Speaker will finally choose the right direction." Ankanes set his eyes on Shen Yuehe, which made the focus of the audience maintain a high degree of concentration at this moment, but before the interim speaker could speak, Jodi. Hull stood up and spoke.
"Mr. Speaker, Chairman Shen, the decision you make next will affect the life and death of thousands of citizens of the Silver Alliance, please understand that war will definitely drag us into the abyss of darkness, and only negotiation and consultation are the real way out......
"This is not the time for debate, Hon Hull, please stop trying to stir up trouble with arbitrary and baseless rhetoric, there are close to 170 MPs of all parties here who disagree with you." Donald. Johnson threw a contemptuous look at the Humans Party seat.
"That's what scares me the most." Hull looked around, a look of confusion and disbelief on his face. "Tell me, what did Wen Zhong promise you? Wealth, higher rights? I can't understand what magic he used to blind you. ”
"Because you're still tender, little hairy, and you're only staring at the present, and can't see the big picture......" Johnson snorted softly, and not far from him, party leader Ellis. Nathaniel frowned and gestured to him with a look in his eyes, but he ignored it.
"Speaker, I want to speak." While Hull was poised for silence to continue his fight back against Johnson, Ryan . Caranella spoke suddenly, as if she had gradually woken up from the shock she had just had, and as if she had finally figured out something.
"Now?" Shen Yuehe opened her eyes slightly, hesitated for a while, and finally nodded to her slightly.
"Thank you." Calanella thanked the Interim Speaker and staggered out of her wheelchair trying to get up. Seeing this, Hayes hurriedly stepped forward to help, but the sickly old man resolutely blocked his outstretched palm with his arm.
She pulled out the long oxygen tube in her nose and stood proudly with her wheelchair in her hands.
Looking around the room, trying to adjust her breathing, for a long time, Congresswoman Caraneca finally spoke in those eyes that were mixed with indifference, mockery, admiration, and pity.
"I've never been so shocked in my life as I am today." She said.
"In my thirty years as a politician in the Silver Alliance, I thought I had seen the dirtiest and experienced the darkest, but I was ......obviously wrong," Caranella said with a gloomy expression.
"In the guise of evil and naked incitement, a member of parliament from a ruling party with a high reputation in politics should actually describe the development of the whole of humanity as a disgusting competition for survival!" She spoke passionately about Donald, who was attacked by her. Johnson's eyebrows furrowed, and he was about to strike back, but this time he was stopped by Nathaniel with a clear gesture.
"The establishment of the Galactic Wisdom Alliance in the past has filled us with a dreamlike reverie about the common home of mankind and the alliances, and when we look back, it is all the dream of the flower moon in the mirror......
"After 40 years of development, the Yinmeng has become a hegemonic carrier that can act arbitrarily and ignore public opinion for the sake of resources and territorial belonging, so as to easily open a war of aggression!"
"Lord, allow me to make your final statement as an ordinary member of parliament, for the sake of the future of humanity, for the sake of our children and grandchildren, who will not only live out of greed, but ultimately become a disaster and a germ that destroys and devours the entire universe...... Exercise your veto. Caranella's heart was agitated, almost pleading.
"Yes, Lord Speaker, in this council corrupted by power and desire, and in the face of the danger of the fate of the entire Silver Alliance, exercise the power you have been given by the gods!" Jody. Hull was so moved by Caranella that he immediately stood up, and in the parliament hall, the members of the three parties who had just voted against each other rushed to show their support for the MPI, and among them, the Humanist Party MP accounted for the majority.
"Please exercise your veto!" They all said this to Shen Yuehe.
In the hall, a ray of soft light was cast on the rostrum of the parliament from the chandelier hanging above, shining on the face of Shen Yuehe in the speaker's seat full of vicissitudes, which looked cloudy and uncertain.
This withered old man, known as the living fossil of the Silver Alliance Navy, is decisive and resolute. He made many life-and-death decisions throughout his life, and eventually led his subordinates and advocates out of the difficult situation and victorious.
And at this moment, when he faced the many expectant eyes of the audience, he didn't say a word, just was silent for a long time.
