Chapter 246: The Wind Rises
The Houses of Parliament, where the emergency House of Lords has been convened, has come to an end. The impact of this meeting will be directly related to the circulation and supply of important strategic materials of the Eagle Nation in the future, and these will be the most advantageous weights to support the Imperial War.
The queen gave a speech at the meeting, citing one resolution after another, and after a game that could be said to be without gunsmoke, but in fact the slightest carelessness could turn the empire upside down, twelve resolutions were passed by the House of Lords.
These resolutions include the opening of ports for special resources, the adjustment of financial leverage, and the formation of a unified mechanism for the formation of a unified mechanism for the development of advanced technologies and military weapons, as well as the Royal Academy of Sciences, as well as special research institutions......
The reason why these have passed through the House of Lords is because these major topics are closely related to the nobles of the Thirteen Round Tables.
For example, the Tiger family has a rare resource that can be used as a strategic "monazite", which can refine a variety of elemental substances, and these substances are widely used in the interstellar society's engine technology, permanent magnet technology, energy compensation, high-speed guided weapons and other fields of key elements. This kind of opening up of resources will directly lead to eruption-like growth in these fields, and it is also the foundation for the improvement of national strength.
The Merlin family controls a number of heavyweight banks across the empire, and the assets of these banks are directly linked to the credit rating of the universe, and the Merlin family can allow these banks to provide loans to the imperial government to support the consumption of wars, and can also tighten or expand the universe through guò, so as to push the international community to exert pressure on Sipon. If these pressures are high enough, it is possible that the Sipangs will retreat......
The Assas Chen family owns Guangming Ding Heavy Industry Technology Company, which is also a combination of civilian technology and military enterprises, and civilian technology has penetrated into all aspects of the empire, and in the field of weapons, some of these equipment are even more powerful than the weapons of the imperial side...... It's just that so far, no matter how much the agents of the Investigation Bureau have tried to detect it openly, they have not been able to lift the veil of its steaming and misty...... But this time, Guangmingding Company "timely" exposed a mecha split technology, which simply attracted great attention and sensation from the emperor, and now the representatives of the military are simply surrounding the Guangmingding Company, eager to purchase and use this technology...... And the specific price is to take out a big piece of cake from the annual military budget, and it is also willing, for fear that the Assas family will refuse......
The same is true of other families that are generally involved in the minutiae of the empire.
The House of Lords session ended, and the old man of the Rand family, who finally walked out of the conference hall, got into his family's extended car parked outside the parliament, closed the door, took off his hat, handed it to the second-in-command of the family next to him, leaned on the seat, his deep and wise face, so far a little gradually melted, and finally shook his head and laughed, "Some big families united to put tighter and tighter shackles on the queen, but they didn't expect this Sunset Gorge victory to open a gap for her, this hand is really domineering...... With the momentum of this great victory, these things that the queen wants, even if those big families are tight, they can only obediently let go of their pockets at this time......"
After a pause, he smiled slightly, "The change of the Rose King's power, the queen can only unite with the prime minister's cabinet to weaken the control of these big families over the lifeline of the empire, and create conditions for the smooth transition of the queen daughter after that...... What an amazing grandmother."
The middle-aged man who was the number two person in the family raised his eyebrows, "Then our Rand family ......"
"Zegang, our two generations, what we can do in the future, and where we can take this family, I haven't thought about it...... That's the next generation's business, how he's going to do it, what he's going to do...... Is it to keep the empire stable, or is it to turn him upside down...... I, as a grandfather, absolutely support it, and I won't get involved. Shouldn't the future of young people be for young people to create zào...... I'd rather enjoy teasing my grandchildren with candy sooner rather than that."
The middle-aged man's expression became strange, "This...... Ming'er's task is a bit too arduous......"
The House of Lords session ends, in the Queen's lounge.
A woman named Windsor was looking through the window at Plaza Avenue outside the Capitol building. The people of the square avenue were gathering for a procession because of this good news, and there was a monument to the fallen next to the main entrance, and a continuous stream of people was converging towards it, and they all came to the monument with yellow daisies in their hands, kissed the bouquet in their hands, and placed it on the pedestal.
It was now full of countless people who bowed their heads in mourning. And above the pedestal, it has become a sea of flowers.
The prince beside the woman had to disturb the queen's brief meditation and spoke, "Chen Xingrui of the Assas family has openly announced to the public that he will dispatch a grand scale of one hundred starships to meet Xia Ying's capture of Tie Fu and the return of the winning fleet in Sunset Gorge three light years away from the capital star circle......
"It seems that the Assas family wants to use their heir to make the girl's reputation as an imperial idol for him...... If he succeeds in getting Xia Ying into the Assas family, it means that he will take most of the prestige of the Battle of Sunset Gorge, so that he may be at the top in one fell swoop, even Muf, and he will not be his opponent, and in the next prime minister's election, he may have no suspense to ascend to that position...... In that case, it's dangerous."
The empire is at war with the outside world, and the war within the empire has already begun.
The House of Assas already had plans to succeed the king, and it would be a step that they had been dormant for centuries. The prime minister of the wartime cabinet is not so impregnable, and it is very easy to be replaced, because perhaps a mistake in a foreign war can make a wartime prime minister change hands.
Such a mistake is very widespread, and the cabinet may have done everything during the war, but losing a crucial war would also lead to the collapse of the people's angry voice.
Now it's better not to make a mistake, because there are already eyers below.
If Chen Xingrui sits in the position of prime minister, if the empire wins the war against the Xipangs again...... At that time, under the huge general trend, it is not impossible to let Lady Windsor immediately abdicate and make way for Xian.
After all, the Assas Chen family also has the bloodline of the side branches.
In the upper and lower houses of the empire, when the people do not believe that the princess can lead the empire to a brighter future, the change of royal power seems to be inevitable
Now, the other party has taken a killing step.
The queen spoke, "You just hesitated for the last time, what do you want to say?" ”
The prince, who was her husband, frowned, and said, "Of course, that imperial girl once rejected the Assas family. It's just that at that time, she hadn't tasted such a cusp, and Chen Xingrui of the Assas family did not reach the height of fame as today. It's already a very different situation
The Prince, of course, had good reasons for his concerns. Back then, perhaps the girl was unwilling to be at the mercy of fate and forcibly withdraws from her family, which is the complex and elusive state of mind of the girl...... But after going through so many things, girls will slowly feel the cruelty and oppression of life, this is a war to the death, this is a life that makes people breathless everywhere. Many times, life seems to have many paths, but in fact, you don't have the ability and right to choose. It can only be pushed forward under the whirlpool of some kind of fate, and it is not subject to human will.
"It would be too risky for us to pin our hopes on believing that the girl would not be deceived by the Assas family...... It's a pity that if the other party were to stand on our side from another angle, that girl would be the first target to be removed. ”
"How do you know that I won't order Xia Ying to be killed?" The queen turned her head and stared.
The prince leaned over and saluted, "Because, that girl is the same age as Nolan." Because, you're my queen. ”
"It's a pity that ......," the prince paused, "that ship and that person have disappeared from the other side of the space passage...... The hero of the Battle of Sunset Gorge was that Lin Hai, but if Lin Hai was dead, then the Assas family also knew how to use the reputation of the non-speaking person to achieve their own goals. ”
"I have a hunch," the queen said, looking up, "that little fellow, it's not so easy to die...... Otherwise, I wouldn't be worthy of my Bass medal. This time, if he still wants a higher-level medal, he will come back and get it himself. ”
"I have sent down the order to dispatch all our 'wind chimes' in Maguanxing, and be sure to get his message. ”
"Well," the queen nodded, "let's get the media ready, too." Although the fame of the dead is easier to exploit, if that kid is really dead, let him be a hero. ”
