Chapter 705: Internal Turmoil
The parliament, presided over by Wilson, undoubtedly overwhelmingly passed the motion to remove Taaffe and decided to arrest him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After all, this congress is just a formality, not to mention that half of these councillors are henchmen of Wells and Chamberlain.
Some soldiers openly broke into the parliament building to control the situation, and those centrist legislators dared to express any opinions, so they could only acquiesce.
With the exception of a handful of lawmakers who were dragged away from the venue in public, the majority of them now have only one thing to do to protect themselves.
Immediately after obtaining the authorization of the so-called majority in Parliament, Wilson ordered the soldiers to blockade the Freedom Tower, which was bound to wipe out the Taaffe.
The rain showed no sign of stopping, and the soldiers who had been ordered braved the heavy rain to move towards the location of the Freedom Tower, and they walked quickly.
Wilson and the others had the power to compete with Taaffe thirty years ago, but they had maintained a delicate situation for so many years.
Now that Taaffe is trying to put his son on the throne, Wilson and the others are taking advantage of the gap in the Federation's foreign war.
Although this will provoke public criticism, for Wilson, personal interests are definitely higher than the interests of the Federation, or the existence of the Federation is regarded by them as their own private property, as long as they can maintain their position, even if the Union Army's expedition fails.
Moreover, they have reached an agreement with Lin Ye, the Duke of the Far East, and have negotiated the conditions for the withdrawal of the federal army, and the empire will cede the land and pay compensation.
This would also allay to some extent the discontent of the people in the federation with the withdrawal of troops, for whom the benefits far outweigh the losses.
In order to witness Taaffe's defeat, Wilson personally led his troops to the Freedom Tower, but he pounced on the Freedom Tower, and Taaffe was not here.
The news of the change in the city soon spread throughout the city, and for a while, people were panicked, and most people did not dare to go out, so they could only wait and see.
At this time, at Green's house, the maid was packing her things, pulling the pregnant Charana out of the house in the rain and had to leave here.
"Madame, let's hurry up, leave here for the time being and take refuge in the countryside, now there is chaos in the city, and they all say that the speaker is going to be arrested. ”
The maids didn't know anything about politics, she just knew that the situation was not good for Charana, and they couldn't sit still here.
"The Speaker was arrested, and they did such a thing at a time when the Federation Army was winning, because they were afraid that Greene would take over the position of Speaker and deal them a devastating blow if they had accumulated too much military exploits? But if we escaped, wouldn't that confirm the charges they fabricated?"
Shalana was able to move from a small fishing village on Undercurrent Island to the Far East, where she worked in the empire for more than a year.
Until she came to Liberty City, she has not been idle, and in addition to learning the etiquette of high society, she also began to learn the ability to handle government affairs.
She has always been a strong woman, which can be seen from the fact that she can become the eldest sister of Xinghuo Village at a young age.
She didn't want to just be a vase, especially after marrying Green, who knew very well that he would take over his father's place.
Even if this process will definitely not go smoothly, and Green herself did not think that far, but she is careful, from Green's inadvertent personal wishes, she knows that one day he will embark on this path, and she is also prepared for this, and will become a virtuous helper in the future.
"Madam, now is not the time to think about those things, if you stay here, you will definitely be captured by them, at that time many things will not be good, and you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the child in your belly, those soldiers are already on the way, hurry up!"
The maid anxiously urged, and the guards who came to deliver the news were also escorting Charana to the carriage, and they must leave Liberty City as soon as possible.
"Then let's go, I really hope the situation can be controlled and will not affect Greene on the front line. Charana touched her stomach.
It was immediately decided to board the carriage, but the carriage had not been traveling long before it had left the neighborhood and had been stopped by a group of soldiers.
"Is this Mrs. Charana? We are from the gendarmerie, please cooperate with us to go to the gendarmerie, we have a few questions to ask. ”
The leading officer stopped the carriage with a blank face, and the heavy rain washed over his uniform, soaking his clothes and filling the ground with puddles.
"You bastards, this is Commander Green's wife, Commander Green is fighting on the front line, and you are still trying to arrest his wife, who is giving you the power, aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of the front-line soldiers by doing this? Get out of the way of me immediately, don't get in the way!"
The captain of the guard escorting Shalana yelled at and tried to drive the gendarmes away, who was Green's henchman and a member of the glorious Union Army.
Now that the war is going well, there is a fire in the backyard, which is simply a self-destruction of the Great Wall, which makes the captain of the guard extremely angry.
"We are not arresting, but we are asking Mrs. Shalana to assist in the investigation of the treason of Speaker Taaffe, and please do not hinder us from carrying out our official duties, if we want to force our way in, then I will have to take you with me, I don't think you will do such a stupid thing to resist without need, right?"
The gendarmerie officer held down his sword, and the gendarmes under his command drew their swords and surrounded the carriage, and there were dozens of them.
There were at least three times as many people as the guards, and if there was a real fight, there would be military police around to come and support them.
Moreover, in this case, the entire Free City has been controlled by Wilson and his henchmen, even if he can pass this level, there is absolutely no way to leave Free City, which makes the captain of the guard clench his fists, if he can really want to fight a bloody way, but the power is very different.
"Are the families of the soldiers who fought bloody battles on the front line going to suffer such unfair treatment? Do you guys still have humanity?"
The captain of the guard roared angrily, the behavior of these gendarmes was simply a trampling on their honor and dignity as federal soldiers!
"We just did what we were told, and we ask for your cooperation, otherwise we have to use strong force. ”
The gendarmerie officer remained unmoved, and under his orders, the gendarmerie had a tendency to move forward, and tension between the two sides reached the point of a trigger.
"Do you need my cooperation? I understand, I'll go with them, and you don't stop me. ”
At this time, Charana stepped out of the carriage, and the maid beside her subconsciously stopped her, but she shook her head gently.
"It would be great if Madame Charana could cooperate, then please come with us, you can rest assured, we will not embarrass you. ”
With a blank wave of his hand, the captain of the guard took Shalana to the carriage they had prepared, and headed for the gendarmerie.
There was thunder in the sky, lightning pierced the low city sky, and this storm within the Federation was spreading.
