Chapter 42 House Resolutions
"That's how easy it is!" Ringer said to himself speechlessly, but simply the information about the discovery of living things now will indeed not bother the Confederate government, and the only unlucky children are these students now.
Hawaii on Earth, since the Ice Age, has been much cooler at night, but it is still a paradise on earth, unlike the people who still take a leisurely stroll on the beach. At this time, the Confederate Capitol was brightly lit and full of people, and the originally tired congressmen whispered and exchanged ears. There was no such decency in the eyes of the people of the Confederates.
At this time, due to time constraints, everyone should be asleep, and even one in ten councillors is on their way back to their own planet, or on leave. Being disturbed from sleep itself is a source of displeasure for these powerful people. When the Speaker of the House of Lords told the latest news, everyone immediately became sleepy, and they were even a little envious of those councillors who were on leave, at least they didn't have to work hard here.
"I've said a long time ago that Seth Star should let the Confederate army go up to develop, and now that something happens, how can we explain to the people of the Confederate? Once the news leaks, we will definitely be greeted by rotten eggs when we go out. ”
"It's all like this, what's the use of still blaming each other? But you're right, I guess someone will definitely attack us, we have long said that you don't want to put aside the dispute and develop together. ”
"Asians, it was a decision made by all the legislators, and you agreed to it at the time, but now it is completely unreasonable to say this, and there is a sense of shirking responsibility."
"The confederation itself is a failed system, and you Europeans can't solve the slightest problem." The black-haired, black-eyed parliamentarian sneered, "What is the purpose of this council?" It's almost the same as the rule of inaction that we recorded in ancient times, since what use do you need to rule by doing nothing? ”
"Asian parliamentarians, please be impetuous, do we respect the dean." A European parliamentarian reminded us at the right time, "Let's calm down and solve the problem, things may not be so bad." ”
The President of the House of Lords standing on the stage is indeed embarrassed, he can't afford to provoke any of the people in several aspects, the Confederation is only a unified human society on the surface, and the actual product is the product of compromise in which no one can eat anyone after several wars between the parties, and the Confederate Congress is certainly a little stronger than the United Nations recorded in history, but it is not much stronger.
The strength lies in the fact that in the era of the United Nations, some small countries could still play long-distance relations and close attacks, and take advantage of the contradictions of major countries to make a little noise of their own, but now it is completely an ornament. In other words, the power of the Confederate government is greater than that of the United Nations, which is reflected in the fact that the power of the Confederate government is transferred to the Confederate Congress, except for a few major powers.
It's like the current Confederation Congress, the obvious five-plus-one model, the five most powerful forces plus the others, and even if any of the five powers come out, this other can be completely suppressed. In addition to the five powers, the other members of the Confederate Congress were only one of the five powers.
And in order to prevent this other from becoming the sixth force, the top five choose their own spokesperson, so that the top five can send part of the force so that the other challengers will never be able to turn over. The Speaker of the Council itself is not one of the top five, because the Big Five do not trust each other and will not agree to have anyone with any of their power backgrounds be the Chair of the Council. Instead, each sent a vice president to help the president of the council handle the work.
The dean of the upper house is not a representative of the sixth force, in order to contain other challengers, the five strong enacted the minority protection law, painstakingly identified many sparsely numbered ethnic groups, in order to show their own friendship and fairness, they chose the deans of the upper and lower houses among these marginal ethnic groups. This is how the Lords were elected, and his people originally lived in the Arctic to fish.
So when the five great powers did not compromise with each other, the dean of the upper council was also quite tired, so he could only reconcile in it.
Glancing at the councillor gratefully, the Lords cleared his throat and shouted, "Silence......
In an instant, the councillors who were accusing each other turned their heads in unison, and their eyes were a little unkind to look at the President of the Lords.
At this time, the five people sitting behind the dean of the upper council glanced at each other, and reached out and patted the table in unison, knock knock! The atmosphere then fell silent, and one of the middle-aged people wearing glasses said, "The President of the House of Lords is going to speak." ”
"We should immediately order the space fleet outside of Seth to land and protect the students of the Academy." The dean of the upper council did not have any dissatisfaction, obviously accustomed to this situation, comforted himself that this is part of democracy, cleared his throat and said, "As for whether to withdraw the students first?" Parliamentarians can also discuss. ”
The entire council began to enter into a long discussion again, and finally came up with a resolution, "In the current situation, it is nothing more than some strange creatures, with the power of our technology, it will not take much time to clean up." ”
"Those strange creatures may be good for our biotechnology, but they don't have to live, they can be studied when they die, and the deep-sea monsters must be killed, not left."
"The desert worms use giant exhaust fans to suck up the sand, because they don't know what the reproductive pattern is, they must know if there are eggs under the sand, and they must be wiped out once."
"Carnivorous plants are more troublesome, first determine the approximate range, all the forests within the range are cut down, until there is a harmless area left that can be slowly studied, and all the results of research are extinct."
"In that case, we'll start voting." After listening to the opinions, the dean said in a soothing tone.
"No more voting!" One of the councillors stood up and nodded slightly in respect, and then said, "The five of us have already decided, and the resolution will be issued immediately, after all, saving the lives of the students is the most important thing." ”
The Dean of the House of Lords nodded reflexively, remembering that many years ago, a few people who came to his house also said in such a tone, and what they said at that time was, "The House has decided, and you will be the President of the House of Lords." "Even if he wasn't even a councillor of a planet at the time, fate was so wonderful.
"I really don't know what the point of this meeting is, haven't we already ordered the Confederate fleet to land to protect the students?" After the meeting ended, several of the vice presidents left together, and one of the vice presidents yawned that they had already ordered the landing of the space fleet outside Seth long before the meeting began, and this meeting was simply redundant.
"Dear friends, this is a process that expresses our respect for democracy." Another vice president looked at the black eyes of his colleague and said, "At least we have to leave a video record, at least edited it, to prove to the people that we are not responsible." It was the fastest meeting in three decades. ”
