Chapter 503: The Federal Assembly

Just as the Blue Frost Kingdom in the north was discussing the matter of going south, the Dermok Federation in the south convened a council at the same time and had a heated discussion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Nature's Novel

Unlike the Blue Frost Kingdom's affairs system, where the officers of the major legions decide on affairs, the Dermok Federation is a federal democracy.

Major domestic affairs, whether they are government affairs, military operations or industrial and commercial bills, need to be discussed and decided by the parliament.

The parliament is divided into the House of Representatives and the Senate, of which the members of the House of Representatives are mainly elected by ordinary citizens, with a total of 2oo members.

Therefore, the House of Representatives is also commonly known as the Assembly of Two Hundred, while the Senate is represented by big businessmen and local big families, with a total of 1oo people.

The House of Representatives has legislative power, which is held every six months and is re-elected every four years, while the Senate has decision-making power.

The Senate General Assembly is held once a month, and the Senate has a democratic decision-making committee within the Senate.

With the Speaker of the Senate, Speaker Taaffe, chairing the committee, this is where the real power center of the Demok Federation lies.

As a result of the news from the north, the Senate bypassed the House of Representatives and opened a discussion about making decisions on civil strife in the Northern Empire.

"Now that the empire is empty, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we must not sit idly by, we must do something. ā€

"That's right, we should immediately mobilize our troops to invade the interior of the empire, rob them of their population and land, and turn them into our vassals. ā€

"Don't you just know about war, have you thought about the cost of war, and the hillbillies in the House of Representatives won't agree to it, right?"

"It's still winter, and this year's weather is really abnormal, even if you want to do it, you have to wait for the spring to start before marching, otherwise it will be too difficult. ā€

"You superficial guys who don't understand military affairs, just wait like this, the elven army in the north will do it, and we won't be able to get anything by then!"

Even within the Senate, there has been a heated debate, after all, it is difficult to reconcile, and different members of the parliament have different positions.

Each represents local interests, with the rich regions content with the status quo and not too aggressive, while the poor regions want to provoke war.

In this way, they will have the opportunity to enter the rich areas within the empire, so as to strengthen themselves and improve their status in the Demok Federation.

On the second floor of the Senate building, there is also a lavishly decorated conference room, which is very soundproofed to block out outside sounds.

There were only a handful of people at the conference table, and these legislators in elaborate dresses were pot-bellied, unlike the legislators outside.

They are the most powerful and high-status people in the entire Dermok Federation, and they are the only ones who can truly formulate the course of the Federation.

"You see, those idiots are just like sparrows chattering and chattering, and they still look a little bit aristocratic? ā€

A man in his mid-fifties lit a cigar and glared downstairs with disdain.

Wilson, a member of the Democratic Decision-Making Committee, was a big man in federal finance and economics, and wielded immeasurable wealth.

"Wilson, how many times have I said it, there are no nobles in our federation, everyone is a citizen of the same status, don't engage in class antagonism. ā€

Another man of his age, but much thinner and more polite, reminded him.

He wore a pair of glasses, a rare thing in the North, and he was a well-known proprietor of the Demok Federation.

"What citizens, it's not to give those hillbillies in the House of Representatives a step down, thinking that they have won some power, in fact, it's not as good as bullshit. ā€

Another member of parliament in his forties yawned, a farmer in the southern part of the Union who had always looked down on the civilians of the House of Representatives.

But that was all in private, and in public he was as close as brothers to the members of the House of Representatives.

For this reason, the members of the Senate gave him the nickname "Clever Tongue Biden", satirizing him for his clever tongue and double-facedness.

"Don't say that, after all, we still have to rely on those hillbillies to make money for us, they quarrel with them, we discuss ours, and don't interfere with each other. ā€

Wilson smiled, and on the huge and extravagant conference table in front of them lay a map of the situation in the south of Big 6.

It mainly includes a detailed topographical introduction to the northern part of the Demok Federation and the southern part of the empire, and they also spent a lot of money to get such a detailed map.

"So Speaker Taaffe, whether we send troops or not, the letter is already here, and we must give a clear answer today. ā€

Chamberlain pointed to a secret letter in the middle of the table, which had only been delivered this morning, and because of this letter.

It's usually hard to get together that they all gather here, which is related to the strategic trend of the Dermok Federation in the next twenty years.

"After all, is it still going to come to this point? Alas, it was finally calm for more than 20 years, but I didn't expect to make waves again, we didn't grasp the opportunity more than 20 years ago, but this time, it must not be missed, so let's do it!"

Speaker Taaffe, who sat at the table, was an old man in his sixties, and although he had reached this age, he still had a resolute face.

Unlike other bigwigs in formal dresses, he wears a military uniform and can sit in the position of Speaker.

Not only because of his high political status, but also because he held the military power of the Union Army, which he had been doing since thirty years ago.

"Hehe, it sounds really good, but this time Speaker Taaffe, are you still personally leading the army? Landau and Adolf on the other side of the empire are dead, and there are no more famous generals who can match you, if you go out in person, the emperor will definitely have no one to resist. ā€

Biden smiled playfully, even though they were all sitting here, representing the highest power group in the Demok Federation.

But they are not in harmony with each other, and it seems to be a democratic system, but the old fox Taaffe has been sitting in the chair for too long.

Taaffe has been in office for six terms, and has been sitting for 30 years! That's a very staggering number, and it's an unsatisfactory number.

There are so many people who want to bring him down that they can't count on both hands, but after all, no one has ever succeeded.

Now that he is old, no matter how powerful he is, he can't beat the years, and today, thirty years later, there are still countless people staring at Taaffe's position.

As long as he leads his troops out of the territory of the Dermok Federation, they will definitely make a move, so that he will never come back!

"No, this time it's not me who leads the way, it's my son, who has now grown into a true man. ā€

Taffe shook his head, his eyes as determined even as he spoke of his son.

"What do you mean by ...... Is Green leading the way?" Chamberlain was surprised.
