Chapter 1494: A Good Life for Members of Parliament (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Semitic Provisional Government, Law, was exhausted after a morning of bickering.
After a hasty lunch, he returned to his office, and then lay on the sofa, resting on the plump and white thighs of the beautiful female intern, and letting the other party gently massage his swollen head.
The young intern's slightly cold fingers were pleasantly touched, and when he looked up from this angle, her full, firm breasts were right in front of Vice Speaker Ross's eyes, swaying slightly with her gentle movements.
However, His Excellency, who is not yet an elderly Deputy Speaker, is blind to the beautiful scenery in front of him.
At this moment, he felt as if he had just struggled out of a siege of a group of monkeys riding on the backs of rhinoceros, dizzy, tinnitus, and exhausted.
Vice Speaker Ross sighed, and secretly said in his heart: It's not easy to live these days, and I've almost quarreled with this life's fight.
It's not the same job I expected.
Originally, I thought that the parliament was to say, talk, drink tea, and see who didn't like it, and stumble President Bullard's government officials at the level of civil servants in small cities, and everyone did some friendly deals under the table.
The work is idle and noble.
But the real work of the council is simply ...... It's a cheat~!
On the first day of the meeting, everyone quarreled over the question of whether to clock in or not.
Although Ross himself thinks that it would be better to punch in, after all, everyone is a member of the government and holds the highest decision-making power in the country, and it seems undignified to be too free and casual, in this regard, Congressman Ross is an old-fashioned person.
But the awkward thing is that 'punching in, it was proposed by the Republican side, and as the deputy head of the Democratic Party, we must resolutely oppose whatever the enemy advocates, this spirit.' So strongly oppose this claim.
At the same time, there are 300 Democratic House members who strongly oppose it.
They even moved out of the words 'freedom, democracy, which were the most disgusting and hated words of the aristocracy, to fight back.
And the Republicans are really not good birds, and they even do not hesitate to tarnish their own worth, and talk about what 'many congressmen need to be regulated and managed', and what kind of fallacies and heresies.
You must know that although all the people present in the parliament claim to be citizens, they no longer mention each other's titles and titles when they meet, and the noble coats of arms on the carriages and accessories are also erased, but almost all of them are of noble origin.
At this time, saying this is simply a naked slap in the face.
The Republican Party, which made them even more unbearable, gathered a few royal nobles, and this is actually an insinuation that these small and medium-sized nobles do not understand the rules.
The contradictions were so acute that they could not be reconciled, and when it came to them, everyone found that they could not say it verbally, so they naturally began to try to persuade each other by force.
At the beginning, Uncle Ross relied on his youth, and he was invincible in the ranks of a group of sixty or seventy-year-old men of the Republican Party. They were defeated.
Seeing that the Democratic Party was about to win the first battle of parliament under the leadership of Deputy Ross Mayor, but then I didn't know which bastard knocked Uncle Luo from behind, and the brave and warlike Congressman Ross immediately fell.
Then a large group of councillors chased each other and trampled over him, then chased and ran over him, then ran over again, and then ran again...
Uncle Rose's last thought before he fell into a coma was, "You guys wait for me, I'll be back~!"
When he woke up in the hospital, he found that his whole body was swollen like a pig's head, fortunately there were no fractures, most of them were skin injuries and minor concussions.
However, if it weren't for the high level of the priests of the Bright Sect, they would have a different way of treating this kind of bruise, and now it is estimated that the old lady standing on the opposite side may not know him.
By the way, the councillors are all publicly funded medical treatment, which can be fully reimbursed, and in order to cure Congressman Ross, the hospital hired a cardinal.
And what angered Congressman Ross the most was that, according to his later recollections, the stick that knocked him unconscious was most likely his own.
Because at that time, he was the first to rush to the front, and behind him should be Democratic Party lawmakers.
If it weren't for the fact that he had now climbed to the position of deputy leader of the Democratic Party and could not be taken lightly, Congressman Ross would have rebelled and thrown himself into the arms of the Republican Party in anger.
Compared with the Republican aristocrats, the Democratic congressmen are indeed too petty
The next day, in order to take revenge, Rose got up from his hospital bed and resolutely came to the House of Representatives, despite his pain and the dissuasion of the priests.
Only this time, before he could start fighting, he was immediately pasted on his face by a large canopy of chili powder, and his eyes were hot and painful.
Then he was slapped again, and fell down with great vigour.
Then a large group of councillors chased after each other, stepped on him, then chased and ran over him, then ran again, and then ran again...
However, this time Deputy Speaker Ross learned a lesson, wore a scale armor under his outer robe, and protected his face before falling, and the injuries were much lighter than the last time.
In order to take revenge, and in order to catch this inner ghost who beat himself with a stuffy stick, Councilor Ross got up early the next day and prepared bricks, wooden sticks, and chili powder, and in addition, he specially added a helmet to himself.
But before the meeting, President Bullard came to search, and in desperation, he threw all those things into the toilet, and then the toilet was blocked......
But fortunately, because of President Bullard's search, everyone did not fight. Finally, we can sit down and have a good time moving on to the general debate.
At the time, Ross also breathed a long sigh of relief.
But then he realized that this misfortune was just the beginning.
Since no one had any experience in this kind of scuffle during the brawl in the previous two days, many people in both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party were injured by mistake, and everyone held a grudge when they held a meeting.
At this point, everyone doesn't care about the party affiliation anymore. Instead, they began to fire indiscriminately. No matter what you say, if someone agrees, then someone opposes it, and then someone opposes the opponent because they have a grudge against the opponent. Immediately, because there was opposition to the opposition of the object, the opposition of the opponent chose to oppose the ......
The whole meeting was like a pot of porridge. The lot is noisy, it can't be opened, and the excitement is indeed very hot, but there is not even a bill to pass guò.
That's when he realized that the council was a huge quagmire. Whoever falls into it doesn't even think about pulling out their legs again.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh softly, he originally thought that joining the parliament and becoming a member of parliament would give him a chance to realize his ambitions in the future, but now he felt that he was getting farther and farther away from his ideal, and he couldn't even see its back clearly.
The future seems to be only endless struggle and strife.
But overall, it's still a little better than the Senate.
Vice Speaker Ross was only beaten twice, and several of them were carried out by the Senate who could not move, and a group of veterans there were so ruthless and vicious that President Bullard had to take charge himself.
At this moment, I heard the heavy and melodious sound of the clock in the room.
"Dangdang, Dang......"
Rose couldn't help but open his eyes, looked at it, and found that time flew by, he seemed to have only squinted for a moment, but now the pointer was already pointing in the direction of two o'clock, and the afternoon meeting was about to begin.
He frowned reluctantly, and reluctantly removed his head from the female intern's thigh.
Then with her help, he put on his coat. He carefully tidied up his clothes, and the little intern circled around Speaker Ross like a butterfly to help.
He twisted in the mirror to take a picture, and then put on his ancestral helmet and slapped the intern's bouncy buttocks.
The female intern snorted, her big watery eyes seemed to be able to speak, and she twisted her body and said, "Godfather, you are so bad." ”
Vice Speaker Ross touched the intern's buttocks up and down in a short skirt and said with a smile, "How many times have you said that you will call me Speaker in Congress." ”
"Yes, Speaker's godfather. ”
In the charming words of the female intern, Deputy Speaker Ross was ready for battle and went out with a high spirit.
At the same time, I have already made up my mind: I must make up my mind that the Republican dogs must look good.
Ross arrived in the House of Representatives and found that the members were also rushing towards the conference hall one after another.
Since there was no formal meeting, everyone sat around and gossiped around. He was even discussing loudly which nightclub to go to at night to spend at public expense.
These puppies are very open now, and it is their job to quarrel and fight in the council, and it is just work, so as long as there is no blood feud, after everyone gets off work, they are still willing to sit down and chat together and deepen their relationship.
Isn't it about compromise and exchange.
While they were making a fuss, the hour hand was already pointing to half past two.
Immediately afterwards, the speaker appeared on the rostrum, and then began to swing the wooden hammer in his hand, and slammed it on the table.
'Knock, knock, knock・・・・・・ the heavy sound echoed through the hall.
The legislators immediately returned to their places and sat down.
Speaker Konstantin looked around for a moment, and then said loudly: "Today we continue the debate on item 1301. ”
If an outsider hears this, he may be surprised. Thinking that this council was extremely efficient, it had already carried out more than 1,000 bills in just a few days after it was opened.
But in reality, this is just a small trick peculiar to politicians. In fact, this is the first bill to open the door of the parliament, and the more the number is said, you can show that everyone is very capable.
This innocuous little trick made the members of parliament grin evilly.
Konstantin took reading glasses, looked down at Wen Jiàn on the table, and then said Mu Ran: "Whose turn is it next?"
Then the Speaker pouted and muttered, "It's actually this guy"
He raised his voice and said, "Just give the floor to Congressman Kennedy・・・・・・
Then a richly dressed guy stood up.
He had a sinister face, a stout body, a face full of flesh, short hair and a beard that stood on end like a steel needle.
Not so much a noble councillor as a butcher who kills pigs.
He walked quickly to the podium, stood on the podium, coughed softly, and then said loudly, "Gentlemen, our parliament is not a children's amusement park・・・・・・
Someone below jokingly said: "It's not a pig killing factory." ”
The crowd erupted in laughter.
And the Kennedy congressman was flushed with anger.
His ancestors originally started by killing pigs, monopolized the local livestock slaughtering industry, and later spent a lot of money to become a nobleman.
It's a pity that in the aristocratic circle, no one looks down on this kind of bought aristocrats, and they are despised everywhere.
Later, when the humans landed, they were just a gas block, so they took refuge in this side and became rich, but they didn't expect to still be despised.
However, he was also mentally prepared, and shouted loudly at the moment: "What about killing pigs? Lord Luo said, now it is a civil society, everyone is equal, no matter what they did before, now everyone is a councilor." I also have a say in the future elections, and there may be farmers, vendors, handlebar owners, and ・・・・・・ in the council."
The lawmakers glanced at each other, but they all looked disdainful: everyone is equal, yes.
But some people are more equal~!
Propaganda slogans are just used to deceive the common people, so why should people with no money and no power run for parliament?
I didn't expect this product to be so naïve at this age.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a person cheering loudly: "Okay, well said." That's great. ”
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned and turned their heads one after another.
Someone also planned to use sarcasm and humiliate the cheering guy who didn't know what to do. But when they saw the man's face clearly, they all gasped and stood up respectfully.
Rose's heart moved, and he hurriedly turned his head to look, but that person was the Flying Eagle God of War, the current Emperor of the Caribbean Provisional Government, and the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Lorraine.
He also hurriedly stood up.
Seeing this, Lorraine smiled, waved for everyone to sit down, and then said, "I didn't come here today for any other purpose, just to come and see you."
I've heard that there is a lot of debate......"
Everyone couldn't help but sink in their hearts, thinking that this lord had come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, and they seemed to be having too much fun, forgetting all the business, and they couldn't help but peek at Lorraine with anxiety.
But then I heard Lorraine continue: "This is a very good thing~!
We still have a long way to go, but it's a good indication that we're on the right track. ”
Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.
And the Kennedy congressman glanced at Lorraine even more gratefully, Lord Lorraine's support for him was so timely.
And when the rest of the people looked at him again, their eyes couldn't help but flash a strange light: This guy is really hidden~!
It's obviously covered by Lord Luo, but he has been hiding it from everyone, it's really annoying. If you look for an opportunity, you have to pour him a few cups~!
At this time, Lorraine continued: "I did not come for nothing today, but I helped President Bullard bring a proposal. ”
As he spoke, he waved his finger.
Someone next to him had already distributed the text one by one.
A group of people took the bill, and when they saw the title on it, they were all surprised.
I saw that it read "Semitic Provisional Government Dispatch Bill".
From the perspective of later generations, this bill is full of loopholes, neither explaining the purpose of sending troops, nor explaining the reasons, let alone a time limit. Not even the budget is listed.
To sum up, it is just one sentence, I plan to take my younger brothers out to grab land.
It stands to reason that this bill is unlikely to be approved.
But then again, the lord didn't need their approval in the first place. But for the sake of procedural legitimacy, I came over to say hello to them.
Don't underestimate this, as long as you say hello, then this dispatch is a legitimate action.
This has since become a common practice, which has limited the power of the president, and even if any president initiates a second and wants to fight with others, it must be approved by the parliament.
The members of parliament held the bill in their hands, and they also felt the weight of the heavy concern: as long as they raised their hands to vote, this war would begin immediately?
Although they had been desperate to start a war and take down Arcadrin, everyone sat in Arcadrin's office and stilted their feet, teasing the female intern with long legs, thin waists, and big boobs.
But suddenly, Lord Luo came up with such a proposal and asked to send troops now, and everyone still felt that their own caution was a little unbearable, and even began to think uneasily: What if this is a defeat?
At that moment, someone boldly said: "My lord, are we ready now?" The food, grass, and military supplies of this army, as well as road traffic, weapons and equipment, and personnel training, all of these things need time to prepare, and we can't fight a battle that we are not sure of.
Belch... ・・・We believe in the ability of the lord, and it is absolutely a hundred battles, but this is in our Semitic clan, we not only fight, but it is best to minimize losses. That's the most important thing. ”
The rest of the people also echoed it: now everyone is living comfortably, and once this battle starts, it will not be fun.
And more importantly, this Semitic tribe is their homeland, and they are in the war together. There must be a lot of losses. The best way is to persuade all the Semitic people on the other side to surrender, and everyone will not hurt the peace, and finally sit together and happily exploit the common people.
Lorraine smiled and said, "Guys, you turn to the last page and look at the text." ”
Everyone hesitated to open the text and saw the last page, and they were immediately attracted by the numbers on it.
Lorraine smiled: "Gentlemen, you can see that every year the Semitic have to pay tribute to the undead with various minerals and spars worth 200 million gold coins, and the total financial tax revenue of the Semitic tribe is only a little more than 300 million yuan all year round. In other words, two-thirds of the money everyone makes goes to the undead.
Note that it is so much every year. In addition to this, there are a lot of transportation costs, fire losses, etc. that are not taken into account.
This means that everyone should be at least three times richer than they are now. ”
As soon as his words fell, he saw that the eyes of the councillors were all red, and they screamed violently.
It's not to blame them for going crazy, after all, it's really too much money.
The Semitic people were already poor and weak, and in order to complete various tax tasks, even the nobles were exploited and extorted by the tax collectors.
It's just that in the past, everyone thought that the money was handed over to the government to train and raise soldiers and maintain normal operation, although there were a lot of complaints, but they were just complaining.
Unexpectedly, the real cause of their suffering was actually the gang of dead bones and sticks. It was because of their expropriation that the Semitic tribe was so poor.
It's literally snatching money straight out of their pockets, and more. It's really unbearable, but uncle can't bear it.
And in order to highlight the effect, Lorraine deliberately added all of this sum of more than a thousand years. After looking at the huge numbers, it is daunting at the moment.
Naturally, they can't help but go crazy~!
"Send troops~!"
"Kill them~!"
"Those damn traitors~!"
"Kill those traitors~!"
"Kill them all~!"
“... ・・・”
