Chapter 581: Who Has Objections?
"So, do you have any objections to this?"
The Speaker of Wimbledon sat in the centre, flanked by the Deputy Speakers to the left and right, and beyond that were circles of MPs.
There are a total of 372 members of the entire 100-nation federal parliament, and at this time, it is rare for all members to be present in recent years.
And the reason why all the people are here is the Corolla Mountains incident.
The matter did not attract such a comprehensive attention, but was merely an offensive by one party in parliament against the Speaker.
This is not common, but it is normal, after all, it is a federation of a hundred countries, and it is impossible to say that it can be completely flat without any tilt, and as long as there is an inclination, those who have less profits will naturally be dissatisfied, and they will naturally find a way, and the solution once and for all, of course, is to let the speaker and deputy speaker sit in the position of their own people.
So, during the years that the Speaker of Wimbledon was in charge, he had been subjected to no less than five similar attacks, which was not common but normal for his age?
So, before today, it was just a contest between two factions, and those centrists automatically ignored it.
However, since the news of the war broke, no one was able to stay out of it.
That was the largest battle in the 45-year history of the 100-nation federation, and at the same time, it was also the largest casualty in the 45-year history of the 100-nation federation!
In that battle, the four Union states totaled more than five thousand casualties, no, it would be wrong to say that there were fewer than five hundred wounded, and all the rest died!
At the same time, one of the Duchy's Counts and eight high-ranking generals died, and even the King of the Duchy of Frost almost died in that battle!
As a result, the neutrals could no longer stay out of the matter, so there was a full gathering that had not been seen in the whole twenty years - yes, for the whole twenty years, even if there were people who would find excuses not to come to the regular parliamentary meeting every year, this time they came!
Then, there is the question of the speaker of the speaker, which is based on the question after he announced the results of the disposition.
"Of course there is!" a middle-aged congressman stood up slapping the table and shouted, "Your Excellency, you are obviously shielding the murderer, is there any point in embarrassingly asking us?"
Another congressman stood up and shouted, "You've been talking all about how to help stabilize the situation in those four countries, why don't you talk about what we're going to do with that murderer? That's right, I'm talking about that guy named Langdon! I just heard some gossip a while ago that that guy is your son-in-law, Speaker? Is that why you're shielding him?"
Another congressman stood up and shouted: "We will not agree to such an obvious cover-up! The families of those dead soldiers will not agree either! The four countries will not agree to it either! I propose that the murderers be severely punished!"
This sentence immediately caused a chorus, most of them from their faction, but also some neutrals who found it profitable.
"Cover-up?" Speaker Wimbledon squinted at the man who said this, and said lightly, "Do you know the real process of the whole thing?"
"What about you?" he said, looking around.
"Isn't it true that those four countries were dissatisfied with the encroachment of their own territory, so they went to denounce it, but they were brutally killed by Langdon and his troops?"
"Well, that's a good point, after this matter is settled, I will use my Speaker's qualifications to make a proposal to deprive you of your status as a councilor!" Wimbledon Speaker's voice was still faint, but it made the other party tremble, and he almost sat back in fright.
The Speaker of Wimbledon no longer paid attention to him, but looked at the others and asked, "Is this true as you know the truth? If so, I can only say that I am very disappointed in you, and in this Federal Parliament, when will it be possible for such a sacred occasion as the Supreme Council of Parliament to judge people at will on the basis of hearsay and malicious speculation?"
The voice grew louder and louder, and at last it turned into a roar, and the President of the Federal Assembly slapped his hands on the table and stood up, looking around like a tiger, and the member who had been frightened could no longer bear it, and fell back into his chair with a thud.
"Five hundred. Speaker Wimbledon raised a hand and spread it, "This is the number of troops under Langdon who was present at the time. ”
"Five thousand. Speaker Wimbledon raised his other hand and spread it, "This is the total number of troops of the four countries, oh yes, it's just the lower limit, the actual number is close to six thousand." ”
"So, please tell me, what kind of condemnation requires the dispatch of nearly 6,000 regular troops?"
"What kind of strength does Langdon's troops have, which can easily kill almost all the enemies more than ten times their size?"
Every question caused a whisper of discussion around them, mostly from the opposition and the neutrals, and the forces on the side of the Wimbledon Speaker were still quiet, confident that their leaders could easily handle this!
"It's not five hundred, Speaker. A voice rang out, and despite its best efforts to suppress it, the tension in the voice could still be heard, "It should be at least two and a half thousand, and it was an attack from behind!"
The Speaker of Wimbledon looked at the MP, who was not very old and was clearly a cannon fodder from the opposition.
"I'm going to add your name to my proposal. Speaker Wimbledon gave him an indifferent look, and then said: "What he said is the total number of people in that battle, but obviously, you don't know the true identity of the 2,000-strong troops, so they are placed on Langdon's body, it's a pity, this is not all fools who can be played with at will!"
He leaned slightly sideways, made a gesture to one of the councillors on the other side, then turned his head and continued: "Those two thousand troops are not under Langdon, but from the Shepherds!
"You say yes, but what about the evidence?" an opposition lawmaker immediately stood up and questioned.
"Evidence?Is this letter signed by several legendary spells of the Sky Tower count?If it is not enough, Master Valhalla said that he can prove it himself!"
An eerie silence was immediately followed by a heated discussion, and the Sky Tower and the Daimyo of the Western Guardian spread throughout the continent, and no one would question them!
"Also, I know you're still talking about the purpose of the shepherd, so take a good look!" Speaker Wimbledon slapped his object down in front of a deputy speaker next to him - although he had not spoken, it could not hide the fact that he was the real leader of the opposition.
He was much older than the Wimbledon Speaker, and he was completely senile, and in the face of Wimbledon's obvious provocation, he still shrank there as if he hadn't heard or seen, as if his soul was out of the world, and everything was none of his business.
"The shepherd has long coveted our wealth, and has done so many things secretly, but you have not found out, forget it, this time, people have come to the house with great fanfare, not only did you not find out, but also deducted this basin on the people Langdon!"
There was a thick mockery in Speaker Wimbledon's tone, "You should be glad that if it weren't for Langdon to help eliminate those shepherds, the Hundred Nations Federation would have suffered the first unnatural king change in a hundred years!"
"You!" he raised his hand to sweep over the opposition and neutrals, "especially someone from those four nations, especially the Duchy of Frost!
"Then I'll ask again!" finally asked Speaker Wimbledon, "who else has any objection to the handling of this matter?"
