Section 18 Ambush on all sides
Ulf? Bernstein had a unique idea about the interstellar planet Yi and the hidden life world within. (Read the full-text novel as much as possible on the Pick-up K Literature Network) [} But he did not say it, at least in the absence of sufficient conclusive evidence for the time being, and he did not see the need to make his ideas public. So he then smiled and said to the two 'female' scientists: "If you two are willing to continue to engage in the exploration of the 'Yi' planet, then please work with me to develop a new expedition plan." ”
Chen Weiyin looked at his mentor and said, "I don't seem to have any reason not to agree. ”
Mia? Frobel had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and say, "You're right, and I have no reason to refuse." ”
After leaving the Privy Council, the three returned to their respective homes.
In the days that followed, the dawn of peace once again enveloped the human world of the Immortal Spiral Arm Stars.
Although on the planet "Taiji", the two sides engaged in a fierce 'lip' war in the bargaining, after all, the armies of both sides did not make any active offensive posture. The "Charlemagne" detachment of the Imperial Central Fleet carefully guarded the mysterious interstellar planet "Yi", while the other fleets of both sides were stationed at bases in their respective countries, separated by a wide border space of the 135th parallel, in preparation for a possible large-scale attack in the future.
Although the Bundeswehr lost the interstellar planet "Yi", it did not take the initiative as before and no longer sent fleets to fight for it. On the one hand, it was because in the second Battle of the "Yi" Star Field, the Wehrmacht lost more than three fleets in succession, which can be described as a great loss of vitality; On the other hand, it is politically imperative, that is, the presidential election in the country.
Whether it's Richard, who is seeking a re-election? Neither Milhouse nor his Alliance for Freedom and Democracy, nor the Interstellar United Front with Song Tingrong at its core, wanted a large-scale war during the election. For both sides, the election is better than the war.
If the government and the military are still engaged in an all-out war with the enemy during the election, the ruling party can easily lose popular support. After all, ordinary people don't like war, and they are likely to vote for their opponents, hoping that a new president will bring peace. Therefore, Milhouse and his political committee also stopped their intention to take the initiative, so that they could devote themselves to canvassing for votes in the general election, and at the same time give the battered army a chance to recuperate.
As an opposition party vying for the presidency, Song Tingrong also does not want to fight. While that would leave one less excuse to blame their opponents, Milhouse and his ruling party could use the constitution to postpone the election and delay their political life if the country was in all-out war during the election. Although it will be quite procedurally complicated and difficult to achieve this, it will eventually be possible and will be extremely detrimental to the opposition Interstellar United Front.
Therefore, immediately after the end of the second "Yi" Star Field Battle, Song Tingrong took advantage of the majority of the Interstellar United Front in the Senate and the House of Representatives to launch a response to Richard? Milhouse's impeachment motion. The motion passed in the Senate and House of Representatives, but was rejected by the Constitutional Arbitration Committee. Milhouse retained his presidency, but Song still achieved most of his goals. This action effectively shocked Milhouse, forcing him to accept the resignation of two capable defense ministers, Colonel Bloomberg and Admiral Lepnin, and promised the people that he would not attack the Imperial army before the election was over, lest a full-scale war be triggered.
In this way, General Su Yu's fierce generals back then, the highly respected Eric? Feng? The five-star general Bloomberg was responsible for the defeat of the second Battle of the Yi Star Field. General Bloomberg, who was originally a banner for Milhouse's re-election campaign, had no choice but to quit the Freedom and Democratic Alliance campaign and return home to become an apartment in order to avoid embarrassment. Not only did this 'disrupt' the campaign plans of Milhouse and the Alliance for Freedom and Democracy, but it also lost a heavyweight who could harass military personnel and their families.
Fortunately, at this time, another important figure, Luo Zhaobing, defected to the camp of Milhouse and the Alliance for Freedom and Democracy. The political agreement reached between Luo Zhaobing and Milhouse showed Milhouse a new way to effectively save the votes of soldiers and their families after losing General Bloomberg. The arrival of Luo Zhaobing not only brought a large number of votes from the Chinese ethnic group, low-income class and socially disadvantaged groups, but also made the opponent's position 'chaotic'.
An independent polling agency openly pointed out that after Luo Zhaobing announced his support for the re-election of incumbent President Milhouse and participated in his campaign to canvass for votes, Milhouse's approval rating soared from about 23 percent to 40 percent, 'approaching' Song Tingrong's 45 percent. The remaining 5 percent of respondents said they would only support the third candidate, Ye Jiwen, a well-known poet and writer who ran as a non-partisan person.
For this reason, the "Tai Chi" Planetary Betting Industry Alliance had to announce a big reduction in the odds of Milhouse's re-election, and correspondingly, at the same time increased the odds of Song Tingrong's election.
In Song Tingrong's eyes, Luo Zhaobing's behavior was tantamount to betrayal, and her defection made the entire election situation of the Interstellar United Front very grim.
In front of the members of the campaign team, Song Tingrong shouted unabashedly: "I didn't expect that this hateful 'woman' would do such a shameless thing!" ”
The staff were silent. Although except for Luo Shilin here, no one knows about the political agreement between Luo Zhaobing and Milhouse, but in fact, they all know that Luo Zhaobing's choice is completely to let Milhouse use the power in his hands to rescue his son. At the same time, they also knew that Song Tingrong in front of them was originally going to marry Luo Zhaobing, but he ignored the future 'daughter' son-in-law who fell to the enemy country.
"We must come up with a way as soon as possible so that Luo Zhaobing will not be able to exert her influence." Song Tingrong urged.
However, no one responded immediately, and it was not easy to limit Luo Zhaobing's influence. A person's reputation is a fait accompli and must be erased within a short period of time, unless he himself does something extremely immoral or contrary to the law.
After a long time, Luo Shilin said slowly: "If her reputation stinks, maybe people will no longer see her as perfect." ”
He's talking about his stepmother, but his words sound like he's talking about a 'woman' who has nothing to do with him.
"Shilin, what do you mean?" Song Tingrong asked with wide eyes.
"The scandal of her life broke out to make people realize what kind of 'woman' she was who did not abide by the way of 'women', so that she could exert influence on the election." Luo Shilin said the plan without thinking, obviously he had already calculated.
He went on to elaborate on his plan: "I already have conclusive evidence that she betrayed her late father. Since ten years ago, she has often had secret trysts with a city official in Pangea. If this matter is revealed, it will be enough to ruin her reputation. ”
But his words were immediately questioned, and one said, "I'm afraid it won't help." "It's Senator Abdullah, deputy head of the Central Standing Committee of the Interstellar United Front, who is speaking? Root? Sharif. Although he had a completely different living environment and cultural customs from Luo Shilin, he still saw at a glance Luo Shilin's speculative ideas at this time.
"Even if Luo Zhao's 'female' has had dishonorable behavior, but if it is exposed at this time, I am afraid that people will say that we are unscrupulous for the sake of the election." Root? Sharif said righteously, "Ordinary people may use vulgar psychology to pay attention to the details of Luo Zhao's 'female' and male 'female' dating." But people with a little sense will think, why hasn't anyone exposed her extramarital affair for ten years, but it was exposed at this time? ”
Luo Shilin couldn't help but panic a little. Root? Sharif was right on his mind. For ten years, Luo Shilin has always grasped the fact that Luo Zhaobing had trysts with other men, but for the sake of the family's reputation, and also for the sake of his old father being able to enjoy his old age in peace, he did not publicize it. On the contrary, he also tried his best to prevent as many people as possible from knowing about it. Now that her father is dead, Luo Zhaobing holds most of the power in the family, and at the same time, she has turned against her in politics for the sake of her own son, which finally makes Luo Shilin feel the need to use this opportunity to defeat her, seize the power of the family, and also offer political gifts to Song Tingrong and the Interstellar United Front.
But exposing Luo Zhaobing's extramarital scandal is also quite risky for the Luo family. Once the scandal is made public, not to mention Luo Zhaobing himself, the reputation of the Luo family will definitely be affected. Although Luo Shilin's father Robben is romantic, after all, his search for 'flowers' and asking Liu all happened after the unfortunate death of his first wife. But Luo Zhaobing put on a pure green hat for Luo Ben before he died. It is also the pure green hat of her father that makes Luo Shilin unable to sit still now, and is determined to take the opportunity to avenge her father, who was 'humiliated' underground.
Luo Shilin pretended to be calm and said: "We have an ancient Chinese saying, good will be rewarded, evil will be rewarded, and when the time comes, there must be a reward." Now that the time has come, why don't we take advantage of it? ”
Root? Sharif was about to say something, but Song Tingrong waved his hand and said, "That's it." Brother Shilin, this matter will be 'handed over' to you, and you must let the voters realize that Luo Zhaobing is not only a treacherous 'woman', but also a bad 'woman' who can be trusted! ”
Luo Shilin nodded confidently.
After the meeting broke up, Ben? Sharif said to Luo Shilin worriedly: "Brother Shilin, the matter between you and Luo Zhaobing's 'female' is your family matter, and I can't talk too much. But please forgive my friend for being nosy, this is not 'done' well, not only will it not work, but it will easily throw away the honor of the family. ”
"Thanks for the reminder, Abdul." Rothlyn responded formally.
The time entered the middle of December, and there were less than twenty days left before the end of 2918, and the presidential election had entered the critical stage before voting, and the election campaign was in full swing. But at this time, there was a big news from the Immortal Interstellar Federation Andromeda Pangu City.
Luo Shilin, the heir of the Luo family, filed a civil lawsuit with the Pangu District Court, accusing her stepmother Luo Zhaobing of concealing her extramarital affair from her family for ten years, which constituted a suspicion of fraud, and asked the court to deprive Luo Zhaobing of the Luo family inheritance. According to federal legal procedures, such proceedings are not held in public. But it was still exposed by the "supernatural" media.
At the critical moment of the election campaign, the Luo family, which is related to the overall political situation of the federation, broke the news of the eldest son and stepmother's violent bombing of Bo Gongtang, which not only attracted people's attention, but also made the election situation even more confusing.
