Chapter 162 Minister of National Defense

Ten minutes after Santos left the manor, in the same reception room, Zhang Sheng received Ms. Ngina, the Vice-President of the Great Council of the Kingdom..xshuotxt下载p:80.

Lady Ngina was a kind-faced lady who was a close friend of the old queen, an enlightened teacher of the noble education of Queen Saint-Barenge in her childhood, and a devout Catholic, and she was a representative of the moderate wing of the conservative forces.

Ms. Ngina's eyes looked at Zhang Sheng like a mother seeing her daughter's husband, and Zhang Sheng had long been accustomed to her enthusiasm.

Ms. Ngina brought a piece of news that she expected but did not expect to come so quickly.

St. Balenge has decided to liberalize the ban on political parties and promote a system of universal elections for the National Assembly, while gradually realizing the independent legislative power of the National Assembly.

The first general election will take place within five years at the latest.

St. Balenge has decided to make a public statement on television to explain her decision.

Zhang Sheng can imagine that in today's society, the end of the monarchy is inevitable, and the decision of St. Balenge is the trend of the times, and the gradual transition of the country to a constitutional monarchy is the way to long-term stability in Tannik.

Of course, this will be a long-term process, and with the current state of the Tannido tribes, it is necessary to maintain a strong centralized government today, otherwise the country will only fall into turmoil and civil strife.

Pondering, Zhang Sheng said, "I will communicate with Her Majesty, I hope she can postpone the release of the statement, and I also hope that the Queen will approve the use of internal affairs forces to quell the skirmishes in various places, and after the conflict is quelled, it will be better for Her Majesty to issue this statement again, Ms. Ngina, are you right?" has been updated

Lady Ngina frowned slightly, and said, "Using the military to quell the opposition between the people will cause bloodshed, right?"

Zhang Sheng nodded, although Lady Ngina is very prestigious in the Great Council, she has the Virgin Mary Sue plot, sometimes indecisive, historically, such a political figure is often a stepping stone for others, fortunately, the princess group now needs such a figure to act as a lubricant; Download 80.

"The right of fire of the internal affairs forces will be more limited than strictly restricted, and more only the use of anti-riot equipment to quell the conflict in various places as soon as possible, so as to avoid real bloodshed. Zhang Sheng patiently explained, thinking, and said, "If Her Majesty issues a statement now, the opposition will think that Her Majesty is afraid that they will give in to them, and they will intensify their efforts to deceive more people into taking to the streets, but if the Queen shows her determination and let the opposition see their vulnerability, Her Majesty's statement will be regarded as a kind of openness and tolerance." ”

Frowning and pondering for a while, Ms. Ngina sighed softly, "You are right, the current situation is really worrying. ”

Zhang Sheng nodded, picked up the teapot, and poured her tea.

......

Seeing off Ms. Ngina, Zhang Sheng immediately drove straight to the Ministry of National Defense, although he was a little blind, but as the King's Minister of Defense, he also needed to act like the Minister of National Defense.

Located on the western outskirts of the capital, far from the coastline, the Ministry of Defense of Tannik consists of a group of white buildings, and on the southern square of the complex, there are the Monument to the War of the Founding of the Tannik and the Monument to the Queen's Medal, both of which commemorate the martyrs of the soldiers who died bravely in the war of the founding of the country.

The stated responsibilities of the Ministry of Defence of Tannik are to defend the Kingdom of Tannik and its interests, to strengthen peace and stability in Africa, and so on.

There is no doubt that as the number one power in Africa, although somewhat rejected by the resistance of the black brothers, Tannik has clearly regarded peace and stability in Africa as his national interest, which may stem from the nihilistic sense of mission of many Boers.

In the fifth conference room of the main building of the Ministry of National Defense, Zhang Sheng attended a small-scale defense meeting, wrote a stack of documents in his huge office, had lunch, and attended the financial meeting of the Ministry of Defense in the first conference room.

There is no doubt that the Tannik Ministry of Defense is a huge organization, and there are more than 20 high-ranking officials who have close contact with Zhang Sheng; there are four members of the National Defense Committee who are responsible for the division of labor in the management of defense strategy, defense exports, defense personnel, welfare and veterans' affairs, defense equipment, support, and science and technology affairs; there are civilian officials such as the political officer, the second administrative officer, the equipment director, the chief financial officer, and the chief scientific adviser of the Ministry of National Defense; and the chief of the national defense general staff, the deputy chief of the general staff, the commander of the army, the commander of the navy, and so on; Commander of the Air Force and other high-ranking generals of the armed forces.

Now that Zhang Shengzhi knows that he has become a minister of defense in St. Balenge, how can he be a matter of putting on a name? There are so many things that need to be dealt with, and he can only study and explore them slowly, and he can't make people feel that he is a laughing stock as the minister of defense?

Just after returning to the manor in the afternoon, Zhang Sheng received a call from the Ministry of National Defense's red line, the Ministry of National Defense's political officer Kamadi, the African Union peacekeeping force in Mali was attacked by terrorists, dozens of casualties, and the chairman of the African Union Military Staff Committee called the Ministry of Defense of Tannik, hoping that Tannik would fulfill its promise as soon as possible and send peacekeepers to join the peacekeeping operation in Mali.

Tannik is far away from Mali, and that area is a hotbed of terrorists all year round Wars break out, for Malian affairs, Tannik has always believed that the imposed peace will not be truly peaceful, and advocates that the two sides of the Mali conflict can only solve the Mali problem once and for all, but Mali's neighbor is a big African country, and supports its own ethnic side on both sides of the war, hoping to maintain the status quo of Mali's minority dominating the majority, so this war is intensifying, and finally it is also under the initiative of that African power that the African Union sent peacekeeping troops, in fact, maintaining the rule of its minority nation。

During the reign of Queen Sepnas, the operation of sending 500 peacekeepers to Mali was approved at the request of several heads of state, but Queen Sepnas abdicated and succeeded to the throne of Queen St. Barenge, which delayed the peacekeeping operation.

The current heavy losses of the African Union peacekeeping force in Mali have reminded some African countries of Tannik, and for different reasons, they all want Tannik to intervene in the situation in Mali, which in fact is not something that the African power behind the ruling nation of Mali is not happy to see.

Zhang Sheng ordered Kamadi to call back, and in view of the current situation in Mali, the Ministry of Defense needs to reassess the success of the peacekeeping operation in Mali and submit a report to Queen San Barenge, pending Queen San Barenge's ruling.

After answering this call, Zhang Sheng also sighed softly in his heart, how much power in his hands, how heavy the responsibility, think about Mali, I don't know how many old and young women and children will change their lives and fates because of their own words, actions, and thoughts, the more so, the more cautious they must be, I am afraid that the days of doing what they want are gone.
