Chapter 490: The Unexpected
The venue is huge, after all, there are more than 10,000 seats.
Seeing Lin Feng walk into the venue, Lin Xiaoting didn't feel a good feeling in his heart. If he could, he was willing to replace Lin Feng to face those troublesome parliamentarians. It's just that he can't do it, because only Lin Feng is qualified to enter this hall, and only Lin Feng is qualified to stand on the podium to speak.
"She's still too young to be burdened with responsibilities that don't match her age."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoting turned around, only to see Yu Linglong, who had approached, and looked at it carefully. It's not because Yu Linglong is beautiful, but when she approached, Lin Xiaoting didn't even notice it. You must know that Lin Xiaoting is one of the most powerful existences in the Third War Zone. Not to mention that Yu Linglong is not a real warrior, even if she is, she can't appear behind Lin Xiaoting silently.
"Chief of Staff, don't come unharmed."
"Now, I should call you the head of the Jade Family, right?"
The Chief of Staff smiled. Yu Linglong smiled and didn't take Lin Xiaoting's words seriously. "Actually, there's nothing to worry about."
Lin Xiaoting was slightly stunned, and heard the meaning of Yu Linglong's words.
Of course, Lin Xiaoting is very aware of the origin of Yu Linglong, and he also knows something about the Yu family.
If it is said that the Yu family has always kept a low profile and there are not many people who know the details of the Yu family, then after the outbreak of the war, the Yu family gradually surfaced. Even for ordinary people, the Yu family is still a mysterious existence, but for a general like Lin Xiaoting, the Yu family is no secret. Not long ago, the people of the Yu family approached Lin Xiaoting and offered to provide unconditional support for the third war zone. Although Lin Xiaoting didn't take it seriously at the time, not long after, Zhan Ruilin personally found him and asked him to come forward to negotiate cooperation with the Yu family. It was at this time. Lin Xiaoting had a more comprehensive understanding of the Yu family.
Obviously, Lin Xiaoting didn't dare to underestimate Yu Linglong, a woman who looked very weak.
The deeper the cooperation with the Yu family, the more Lin Xiaoting felt more and more afraid of this hidden family.
Not to mention anything else, more than half of the military supplies needed in the daily life of the Third War Zone come from the Yu family, or enterprises that are closely related to the Yu family. Furthermore. A large part of the weapons and equipment purchased by the Third War Zone also came from the Yu family, and almost all of the weapons and equipment were related to the Yu family. To put it simply, the arms enterprises directly managed and operated by the military department undertake most of the production tasks of weapons and equipment, which is tantamount to monopolizing the arms industry, but a large part of the parts and components needed for the production of these weapons and equipment have to be purchased from private enterprises, and they mainly come from private enterprises directly operated by the Yu family or secretly controlled by the Yu family. If the Jade family breaks off cooperation with the military department, unless the federal authorities introduce a bill to take over private enterprises. Otherwise, all the arms enterprises under the management of the military department will have to stop working. However, it is absolutely not easy to take over a private enterprise, and even in wartime, it is impossible for the military department to do anything wrong. The key is that the military department also has to abide by the laws issued by the Federal Parliament, and in the Federal Parliament, there must be many members who have an extraordinary relationship with the Yu family.
When Yu Linglong said such words, Lin Xiaoting's heart was also much more steady.
Plainly. As long as the Yu family is willing to step forward, even if they can't get the federal parliament to pass a bill that is beneficial to the military. It can also keep Lin Feng from being embarrassed.
"You're not here to tell me that, are you?"
"Why, the chief of staff is not even in the mood for small talk?"
"This is a place for small talk?"
Yu Linglong smiled faintly and said: "Many people say that the chief of staff is not smiling, and now it seems that the rumors are not false." ”
"What are the words. Just say it. Lin Xiaoting let out a long breath and said, "Actually, we don't need to beat around the bush here, right?" ”
"Since the Chief of Staff said so. I don't talk nonsense anymore. Yu Linglong paused for a moment before saying, "I have received news that the Star Soul Empress is about to lead the Weaver Clan Legion to the home galaxy, and several civilizations that are friendly with the Weaver Clan have also sent reinforcements. As far as I know, the federal authorities have already decided that they will form an alliance with the Weavers as long as the Trobels arrive in time to help the Human Legion defeat the Silicon Charm army besieging their home system. It was precisely because of this that Marshal Zhan Ruilin sent Yang Yi to meet the Star Soul Empress. I want to clarify a question, after the arrival of the Star Soul Empress, will the federal authorities fulfill their promise, will Marshal Zhan Ruilin still support an alliance with the Star Weavers? ”
"Is this the problem?"
Yu Linglong smiled faintly and waited for Lin Xiaoting to reply.
"At the moment of the great enemy, the most important thing for us to focus on now is not who to ally with, but how to defeat a strong enemy who is coming strongly."
"I didn't expect that the chief of staff would also play a round."
"Although your Yu family has been supporting us, you should also know that there are some things that cannot be said casually."
"So, the chief of staff thinks he knows more than I do?"
"You ......"
Actually, the chief of staff is right, this is really not a problem. It's just that we all know that in the last Greenwich War, Marshal Zhan Ruilin's relationship with the Heavenly Saint Emperor was extraordinary, and now it must not be easy to form an alliance with the Weaver Clan. ”
"What the hell are you trying to say?"
"I just want to know the attitude of the chief of staff."
Lin Xiaoting was slightly stunned and said, "I am a soldier of the Federation, and it is my attitude to defend the Human Federation and eliminate all enemies that threaten the Human Federation." ”
"Nothing else?"
"How, what do you think ......"
"This phrase with the chief of staff is enough."
"You ......"
"The chief of staff is a busy man, so I won't bother much."
"Wait!" Lin Xiaoting stopped Yu Linglong and said, "You know so much, so do you know why Yang Yi didn't come back with Lin Feng?" ”
"To be honest, I don't really know about it. Perhaps, they quarreled, so Yang Yi did not come back. ”
Lin Xiaoting was slightly stunned, and by the time he came back to his senses, Yu Linglong had already walked away. Of course, Lin Xiaoting knew that Yu Linglong was perfunctory to him.
Obviously, Yu Linglong knew the reason why Yang Yi didn't come back.
Just when Lin Xiaoting was hesitating whether to catch up and ask Yu Linglong for clarification, there was applause and cheers in the venue.
Not long after, Lin Feng walked out accompanied by a group of parliamentarians.
Seeing Lin Feng's expression, Lin Xiaoting knew it in his heart. Maybe the results weren't the best, but they certainly weren't the worst.
Of course, this is not the place to talk.
Lin Xiaoting immediately greeted him, and the accompanying staff officers also went to prepare the vehicle.
It was the same as Lin Xiaoting expected, but his prediction was not bold enough. Just at the beginning, after Lin Feng's speech, the parliament voted on it. Nearly half of the Colonial Galaxy's legislators reversed course and passed a bill that would be extremely beneficial to war mobilization, giving federal authorities decision-making powers over the war.
Obviously, this result was far beyond Lin Xiaoting's expectations.
You know, this bill goes far beyond the mandatory conscription law that federal authorities are fighting for.
After the law came into effect, the federal authorities became the highest decision-making body of the human federation, which was equivalent to obtaining all wartime privileges, including legislation. Within the next five years, all executive orders issued by federal authorities will have the force of law. After five years, the Federal Parliament will vote again on whether to extend the mandate. As has been the case in previous wars, the Bundestag will extend the mandate for as long as the war has not ended, and it is usually for five years, i.e. to give the federal authorities an additional five years of privileges. Only before the end of the war, when there was already hope of victory, did the Federal Assembly withdraw the mandate.
It can be said that this bill means that the Federation of Humans has truly entered a state of war.
Once the law comes into effect, federal authorities will be able to enforce conscription by way of an executive order, even if only for the next five years.
Clearly, the Federal Assembly is not just making concessions, but making comprehensive compromises.
While surprised, Lin Xiaoting was also puzzled.
How could Lin Feng make those councilors of the colonial galaxy change their positions?
You must know that even if Zhan Ruilin comes forward in person, it may not be able to make those stubborn lawmakers make concessions, and even make the situation worse.
It's just that Lin Xiaoting didn't ask Lin Feng.
No matter what happened in the council, Lin Feng must have been under a lot of pressure, and if she asked her directly, she might not get the answer she wanted.
Back at the guest house in the Third War Zone, Lin Xiaoting knew what was going on.
In the council, Lin Feng did not follow what he said before, taking the invading enemy as the starting point and protecting the common home of mankind as the main position to persuade those councilors of the colonial galaxy, but told a story, a story that was not so vivid, but could be listened to by everyone.
That is, when the councilors of the Human Federation were arguing with each other, Yang Yi had already led an army of civilians to Beacon Mars, and recaptured Beacon Mars, and also established a military base there, preparing to fight to the death against the invading Silicon Charm army.
Of course, this story has different meanings to different people.
For the members of the Colonial Galaxy who had previously rebelled against the federal authorities, the story had a profound meaning. To put it simply, Yang Yi commanded an army made up of civilians, and the federal authorities, the military department, and the Third War Zone did not disagree with this. In other words, Yang Yi's act of forming a civilian armed force has been recognized by the federal authorities, or at least tacitly approved. In other words, if the administrations of other colonial systems also form civilian armed forces, then the federal authorities have no reason to object. Obviously, what Yang Yi has done has broken the stereotype, which is equivalent to opening a new path and pointing out the direction for the colonial galaxy.
In that case, why should we be more serious about military power than the federal authorities?
What's more, because the home system is under siege, federal authorities can't control the colonial system. After reinforcements arrive, it is only a matter of time before the Silicon Enchanted army besieging the home system is crushed, and the federal authorities will regain the ability to govern the colonial system. If this opportunity is missed, there is nothing. To put it simply, by ending the strife in the Federal Assembly as soon as possible, the colonized galaxy will be able to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. (To be continued.) )
