Chapter 329: An Unexpected Candidate

On this stage set up by various cabinet departments, Moon Zhong is undoubtedly the real star of it, he is the main actor, it is all that attracts attention, and every move embodies the wisdom and experience of hundreds of talented people from all walks of life behind it. And what he wanted to do as chief of staff was to make the performance more punctual, more precise, and more convincing.

The four committees, together with their various institutions and hundreds of thousands of employees, are the real part of the engine of the Union, and the plans conceived by countless minds have been sifted through by the committees and passed on to the end of the ceremony, and all Wen Zhong has to do is write that symbolic signature on them.

Naturally, Michael didn't really think that the work of the chairman of the Union was limited to this, and he was not so naïve, he was a brilliant civil rights lawyer before Wen Zhong did not select him to join the chairman's cabinet, and at a young age he had become a shining star in the New Newport City Attorney's Office.

But he could never have imagined that he was serving a 'demon' who intended to sacrifice the lives of 200,000 colonies just to gain political bargaining chips.

Once he recognized this and was convinced of it, he could no longer sit idly by, so much so that he was so worried that he could not sleep.

The daily presentation of things that he had become accustomed to had become an unbearable torture, and he did not want to waste time on issues such as the right to live of a foreigner, or the media interpretation of a welfare policy. He was constantly thinking about the situation in this big game of chess, trying to pile up the whole picture with the information he already had, and deducing various possible directions.

"Big news!" Cabinet Spokesman Paul. Ron pushed the door open at this time, and the slender Ron couldn't help but stop when he saw that Michael was also in the chief of staff's office, and he only politely greeted the assistant staff after receiving Michael's jaw answer, and Michael smiled at him.

"What happened?" Michael was a little impatient, and the affair about the pair of mandarin ducks had recently spread in the cabinet, even the rigid cabinet secretary Stephanie. MacIntyre also mentioned it to him more than once behind his back, but looking at the attitude of the two of them in front of him, he thought that he had kept everyone in the dark.

"The person who will pro tempore the Speaker of the Joint Parliament has just been chosen, and Chairman Moon asked me to prepare a press speech, and I ...... it as soon as possible How did you already know that? Ron looked at Michael who was silent, and then at Maggie. Michael, who flattened his mouth at him, saying that he didn't know.

"Good news indeed." Michael said with a blank face.

"Isn't it?" "The Joint Parliament has been suspended for many days, the Finance Committee's fourth-quarter budget has not been effectively considered, and we will not even be able ......to pay our salaries," Michael said.

"Why don't you ask who the pro tempore speaker is?" Ron looked at the two in surprise.

"Let me guess...... That's obvious...... Dawn. Buckland? Why do you have to ask such a sure thing? Michael winked at Ron. As the former chairman of the Bang Alliance, Buckland, whether it is his political legacy or skills, is undoubtedly second to none among the people still alive in the Bang Alliance, although he is old, he is still in good health. He and the current chairman Wen Zhong, both members of the Yinmeng Intelligent Biological Cooperative Party, the two have the same political philosophy, and they have always been good friends, since they have been included in the list of candidates by the qualification review committee, they will inevitably be supported by Wen Zhong, who has a large proportion of decision-making power.

"That's not right!" Ron grinned.

"What?" Michael was really surprised. "Could it be Rovoli. Skaya? Is she no longer going to run for the presidency? The position of Speaker is temporary, and it will eventually be handed over to the Kander people...... "As a tradition inherited from the federal government, the chairman of the Development Committee has always had great power in the Union government, and when the first and second officials are unable to exercise their powers due to changes, if nothing else, they will automatically become a member of the replacement list, and as the only woman on the list, Rovoli. Although Skaya's resignation has since been approved, she is still one of the strong candidates for the interim speaker of the Joint Parliament, thanks to her years of political prestige.

"It's Shen Yuehe." Michael interrupted Michael's wild speculation and gave the answer Ron wanted to tell them.

"How is that possible?" Mi Ke said in surprise. In addition to the friendship of recommending the chairman of the National Security Committee, his political views are obviously different from those of Chairman Wen, in terms of disarmament, colonization and interracial diplomacy, Shen Yuehe has always been the main opponent of the policy of the chairman's cabinet, and in terms of political direction, he is more inclined to conservatism, which is the biggest reliance of the Human Party in military circles, and the chairman must be crazy to make him the interim speaker...... I mean, is it really pressure from within the party to cede the power of the Cooperative Party to the 'Queen', as the outside world has claimed? The loyalty of the young assistant staff to the party was evident at this time.

"All I can say is the general trend." Ron pursed his lips. "Once upon a time did the Heisenbergs make uncertain deals? They have almost half of the media power of the All-Bank Alliance, and they have been guiding public opinion for several years. It is no secret that Heinrich won a landslide victory and that the Conservatives would win this election. ”

"But why Shen Yuehe? I mean, because of his age, the Qualifications Committee used to rank him at the bottom of the rank...... Therefore, even if it was approved by the Chair, the Committee would have to raise objections. Mike said with a frown.

"I don't know, it should be because someone lobbied from it, it is said that when the list was handed over to Mr. Wen, the chairman of the Security Committee was already ranked second, second only to Tang En. After Buckland. Ron explained.

"Is it a lobbyist for the Human Party?" Michael asked.

"I'm afraid so, they're the only beneficiaries." Ron nodded yes.

"For the sake of their queen's reign, they really do everything they can." Mi Ke said disdainfully.
