Chapter 222: "Inhumane" Acts (Part 3)
At the end of the meeting, which was filled with cheers and praises and more form than it actually was, there were fewer than 20 people in the room at the end.
Of these, only 5 of them, including Rilan, wore naval uniforms.
"Oh, how many more faces?"
Before Lilan could sit down, a man on the other side who looked about the same age as the Governor, with a cold and stiff expression, and was wearing an army uniform, was the first to attack: "Your Excellency the Governor, don't you want to introduce me, but not every street thug can enter this room."
"This is my negligence" As if he didn't smell the slightest irony, the Governor smiled kindly: "Admiral Reelan, the active Admiral of the Seventh Town Guard, the previous battle of the delusional fleet annihilation was completed by Admiral Reelan, as well as the battle of the Hell Islands not long ago...... Leah, that girl must have mentioned it to the commander, right? β
The surprise in his eyes flickered, and he didn't know if it was for Lilan's identity or for the sake of the governor's concession, the commander nodded and said no more.
"Then," the Governor's gaze turned to the figure sitting in front of him, and a single person occupied a position, "Your Excellency, you can begin."
-- The northern continent is a federal, and although the threat of deep-sea habitat ships has forced it to strengthen cooperation among them in all aspects, especially military cooperation, to the extreme, but in the final analysis, each country still has complete autonomy within itself.
This figure is the president, the man who nominally controls the entire federation.
It's just that after the appearance of the builder and the ship, it has become an almost ornamental existence, and after the appearance of the constructor battle queen today, I am afraid that I still can't get rid of this fate.
Thinking about it this way, he is a rather pitiful figure......
Look at the figure ahead. Lilan met silently.
"Hmm" as if he had just woken up, obviously in the prime of life, but Li Lan saw a depressed aura in it, and waved his hand indifferently: "Let's start"
As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes again.
ββββββ Split ββββββ
At present, among the 19 people present, the "forces" are composed of-
Navy. Five people, including Rilan, the former Admiral of the Fourth Town Guard, the Governor of the Navy, and the other two "Admirals" that Rilan had seen in the Governor's Palace, Leah remained outside.
Army, 8 people, including the commander of the army that Lilan just "met", to Lilan's surprise, half of them are women. And two of them didn't look much older than Ripette...... This made Lilan have a little guess in his heart.
The president, who has no presence, and his secretary
And the last four people are the representatives who really bring the voice of the entire federation - in a sense, they are the most "righteous" figures in this meeting that determines the fate of the federation in the future.
And when the president closed his eyes again, it was the same group that spoke first.
"We request a reduction in the number of units of the Battlemes"
No one is comparable, and it is the first topic that directly pushes the atmosphere down the crater.
A smile bloomed on the Governor's face beside him, and the President reopened his eyes to look ahead. The most fierce reaction was the army commander on the other side.
"May I ask, who said that?"
Cold. Look straight at the other side.
Under the pressure of his gaze, the young representative oozed cold sweat little by little: "This, this ......"
At this time, another representative, who was about the same age as the two powerful figures, suddenly stood up: "Your Excellency, it is the people of the entire Federation who have asked us to say this."
Push your reading glasses and push the file out on your desktop.
"From the official development of the Construct Battle Ji 30 years ago to the present, almost every year consumes a lot more resources than the previous year. Now that the deep-sea aggression is over, it is necessary for us to shift our focus to economic development, rather than blindly expanding armaments."
The third representative stood up and said, "I'm sorry, but I also have something to say about the construction of the battle princess."
The tone paused. His gaze swept over the four women present: "I didn't target it on purpose, it's just, I don't know if you have found anything?" In the 30 years between the appearance of the Armored War Princesses and the emergence of the main force of the war, there has been an ideological shift in the entire Federation."
"-- The status of women has begun to surpass that of men."
The audience was silent.
Although the explanation had already been mentioned, a female officer in the army couldn't help but stand up and ask: "According to your logic, then it was those ship girls who were the main force of the war in the first place, so why can the entire federation still maintain its original ideology?!" β
"This is different," the governor beside Lilan shook his head and said, "The ship girls are made of builders, and they are essentially non-humans, and no matter how powerful they are, they have to take refuge in humans to survive."
The ship mother can't build the ship mother, this is the biggest reliance of human beings to control the ship mother.
"Butβ"
"Let him continue," he stretched out his hand to stop the female officer's words, and the commander of the army said calmly, "Is there anything else?" β
"Your Excellency the Commander can understand that it is the best ......," the third representative continued, "As His Excellency the Governor just said, in the 300 years of the ship girl era, there has never been a ship girl who can appear in a meeting of this size, and it is only 30 years of constructing the battle lady-"
Looking at the four women opposite, the answer couldn't be more obvious.
In the silence, a soft voice suddenly sounded: "Even so, is there anything wrong with that?" β
Standing up, she was obviously still in the girlhood stage, but the aura she exuded was still no worse than anyone present.
"Whether the status of men is higher than that of women, or whether the status of women is higher than that of men, does this have any effect on the development and continuation of the Union?"
Looking at this "naΓ―ve" girl, perhaps her real identity was Shenji, otherwise she would not have been able to enter here at this age, Rilan suddenly felt sorry for her.
Sure enough.
"If it is a purely ideological issue, we naturally have no opinion" the fourth deputy stood up: "But the problem is ...... If I'm not mistaken, your Excellency should be a goddess, right? Not yet 18 years old."
"Yes, but I can still fight for the Federation!"
"Here's the problem," the representative sighed, "It is completely inhumane to send you girls under the age of 18 to the battlefield, so we propose on behalf of all the people of the Federation-"
"Abolish the War Commander as a war unit!"
