At eight o'clock in the morning, Senator Nils, Erickson, had breakfast, and then hurriedly kissed goodbye to his young and beautiful wife.

Immediately, he and his secretary boarded the carriage at the foot of the waiting steps and set out on their way to work.

He sat on the fluffy couch, his eyes closed comfortably, and flicked his fingers slightly.

The female secretary next to her, dressed in a professional OL suit, immediately opened the notebook she carried with her and began to introduce today's itinerary to His Excellency the Senator.

The carriage drove slowly, through the tree-lined streets of Racecourse Road, turned a corner, and drove onto a bustling commercial street.

"In the morning there is a regular meeting of the Foreign Affairs Committee, at noon Senator Pixar invites you to lunch, in the afternoon there is a hearing on the Foreign Office's request for appropriations, and at five o'clock Mr. Rumsfeld invites you to his banquet......"

Senator Erikson suddenly looked up and asked in confusion, "Wait, what's going on?"

The female secretary raised her head in amazement, brushed a strand of hair hanging down from her forehead, and then explained: "Mr. Rumsfeld is the bidder for the official car project designated by Zhèngfǔ, and he has just sponsored the Foundation for the Disabled Children in Africa, which you support. ”

In order for the senators to understand, the word "Foundation" bites very hard.

This is a common tactic used by political officials when they take bribes.

Due to the strict tax inspection of the State Administration of Taxation led by Lei Erfatzi, even if he is a senator, his property must be declared.

However, there are policies at the top, and there are countermeasures at the bottom, and this is also a universal truth that applies everywhere.

Although at the beginning, the three-plate axe wheeled by Lei Er's fat man caught everyone off guard. But everyone is a Semitic jīng Ying, how can they be intimidated by such a small thing?

When they came to their senses, they reacted accordingly at the moment.

Actually, the method is very simple. It would be nice to learn from the human politicians - by the way, although many Semitic politicians are very conservative and very opposed to the Semitic learning the human way of life, they are the first to integrate with humanity when it comes to corruption and bribery.

In order to conceal the income of the gray sè and bypass the supervision of the tax office, the common practice is to set up a well-known foundation. What has been done to save out-of-school children, what is a disability relief center, what is the Yellow Cross...... And so on and so forth.

Then, in the name of charity, people donate money inside.

After the money arrives in the account, a series of dazzling cāo works are carried out, such as making fake accounts, buying high and selling low, and getting more kickbacks.

In this way, the money can be easily laundered and put in their pockets.

"No, I'm not talking about that. Senator Erickson shook his head, then pointed out the window and said, "What's going on outside?"

The female secretary was stunned for a moment, then leaned down to look out the window, consciously or unconsciously, she put all the plump and soft and extremely full career lines on her chest under Senator Erikson's nose.

At this time, I saw that many passers-by gathered on the side of the originally bustling road.

They gathered together in groups of three or five, and they kept talking about something. Occasionally, you can hear someone shouting. Through the gap in the crowd, you can vaguely see that in the middle of them, someone is holding a newspaper and reading it aloud.

Out of professional instinct, Senator Nils knew immediately that something big must have happened, and that it was something big that their Senate hadn't heard about in advance.

As a member of the highest decision-making body, Nils did not like this to happen. Because the occurrence of this kind of thing means that someone is secretly making trouble and doing some kind of trickery.

And because of this, this kind of thing can often make huge waves.

Although the Senator's office had an official subscription to all the newspapers issued by Akadelin, Senator Erickson felt that he could not wait any longer.

He beckoned to his attendant outside the window and ordered, "Go, buy me some newspapers." ”

The attendant agreed, jumped off his horse, scrambled through the crowd, and walked to the newsstand owner, only to be told that all the newspapers had been sold out.

But it's not hard for a senator's acolyte.

He then took out invincible gold coins**, bought several different newspapers at a high price from passers-by, and handed them to the window of the carriage.

Senator Erikson tossed the rest of the newspaper aside, found the Flashlight Times, and eagerly opened it.

This is the official newspaper of the Spirit, and although the content has always been empty and full of nonsense, the front page must have been that Lord Lorraine was busy, or that President Bullard was busy. Either the commander of the coalition forces, Grand Duke Julius, visited and inspected such and such a place and made an important speech.

The second edition must be that the people of Lingshan are very happy, and everyone applauds the new policy of the republic.

The last few editions must be that the Thunder Flash clan is still living in dire straits.

In fact, the official newspapers all over the world have the same taste.

But in politics, only it is the most authoritative.

Erikson opened the newspaper and saw that the front page headline read "Forge a Sword" in oversized font, with the subheadline "The conscription work was carried out smoothly, and the people of the capital region enthusiastically joined the army."

Senator Erikson frowned and said, "It's not this~!"

Then I flipped through the newspaper, and saw a long article on the second page, titled "Hit the thunder and lightning, unify the whole continent~!"

Senator Erikson's body couldn't help but be shocked: this slogan is too impactful, and when Lingshan people read this sentence, there is no one who does not feel enthusiastic and trembling with excitement.

Defeat Rayshan, capture Thunderfort, annex Thunderbolt, and establish a unified country ruled by the Spirits, which has been the dream of their Spirits for more than a thousand years.

The senator threw away the newspaper and picked up the "Weekly Telegraph", which is a strict current affairs newspaper, the boss behind the scenes is said to be President Bullard, the first few editions did not see anything abnormal, but at the end there is an article: The unfinished business of the millennium, when will it be~!

It was to instigate the use of troops against Lei Shan and unify them under the banner of the republic. Let the people of Leishan, who live in dire straits, also enjoy the sunshine that only the people of Lingshan have, zìyóu and **. So that they can live a happy and happy life like the fairy tale princes and princesses like the people of Lingshan.

Although it is okay to deceive the ordinary people who don't know the truth with these words, and after letting politicians like Erikson read it, they are all disgusted, but he still endured it and read it. Then I flipped through the rest of the newspapers.

There were similar articles in those newspapers, all of which were vigorously preaching, shouting for the march of thunder and the maintenance of world peace.

Senator Erickson's politician told him that it would be a bombshell thrown into the of the Spirits.

He shouted: "Quick, go to the council~!"

The coachman whipped his horsewhip and rushed to the Senate building as fast as he could, and several traffic control stations were broken on the road, but the city guards who commanded the carriage turned a blind eye when they saw the license plates on the carriage -- this was also one of the privileges of the councillors, such as driving while drunk, trespassing on traffic ports, and so on, and parking indiscriminately, all of which were not punished.

Arriving at the door of the Senate, Senator Erickson had already jumped out of the carriage before it could stop.

As soon as his feet hit the ground, he felt that the atmosphere around him was a little strange.

At this time, it is time to go to work, and these pot-bellied senators are all cheerfully greeting, and then laughing and chatting a few words, exchanging the latest experience of talking to women in the red light district.

But today, they all got together and talked quietly, and from time to time they would raise their heads. Glanced around a few times, for fear that others would come and eavesdrop, sneaky, as if they were spies.

Senator Erickson secretly said in his heart that the influence of the newspapers on the public opinion of this "thunder flash" was far beyond his imagination.

He doesn't like the feeling of being out of control, because that often means big trouble.

Just as he was thinking to himself, he felt a hard pat on the shoulder, and a person hugged his shoulder affectionately, lowered his head to his ear, and said, "You also read the newspaper, right?"

Erikson didn't have to look to know who this man was, Rolf, Senator Holmberg, their former classmate.

Moreover, the two men have a good relationship in parliament.

Senator Erickson pretended not to know what was going on, and deliberately wondered, "What did you say?"

Senator Holmberg laughed heartily, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't play stupid, you must have seen it, it's going to war, what do you think?"

Senator Erickson said vaguely: "No, I'm still thinking about it." ”

Members of parliament are all partisan.

How difficult is it for a lone wolf to survive in this cruel political jungle, like-minded or like-minded people huddle together to keep warm, they form different parties, and in the same party they form different factions, and there are different circles within the same faction.

A qualified senator must have the interests of the party as his primary goal, not justice and justice, let alone a human conscience - if there really is such a fool, everyone else will swallow it all into the stomach.

And Erikson belongs precisely to the number one faction among the senators, the Caribbean.

Until the faction leader, President Brad, made a statement, he wouldn't say anything positive, so he pushed it over with a tai chi.

Senator Holmberg is not surprised by this, everyone is a political creature, and they have to follow the rules, and they are not the stunned young people of the black sè band.

He reached out and touched his bare head, and said with emotion: "I think this is a good thing, and we should support it." ”

Surprised, Erikson looked at him in surprise and asked cautiously, "Is this your opinion, or is it your partisan's opinion?"

"It's everyone's opinion, haven't you seen it yet. Senator Holmberg smiled disapprovingly, then raised his hand and gestured in a circle to all the surrounding councillors.

From the faces of the vast majority of parliamentarians, you can see the excitement.

Erikson shook his head and said in his heart: crazy, crazy. War is a major national affair and has a bearing on the rise and fall of the country and the nation, so how can it be decided to listen to the instigation of the newspapers?

Instead of going to his office, he walked straight into the conference hall......

As soon as you enter, a wave of heat rushes over your face, accompanied by the buzzing noise in the room.

A member of parliament stood on the podium under the rostrum, waving his fist and shouting excitedly: "Gentlemen, this is our best chance to miss waiting another thousand years, maybe two thousand years." Would you like to?"

A neat cry broke out from the crowd in the audience: "I don't want to~!"

Erickson knew the senators on stage, Tippen, Johansen, senior officials of the War Department in the old zhèngfǔ era, who had stepped down because of the coup d'état of Madolins, the old man of the Parker faction.

Senator Johansen shouted as if he were half angry: "We can't wait any longer, we have a strong army, we don't want peace talks, we don't want a thunderous stupid pig to step into our parliament." Otherwise, we are sinners of history, sinners of the nation, and sinners of the country~!"

The parliamentarians shouted: "Yay, yes~!"

"We don't want peace talks. ”

Senator Johansen followed with a loud shout: "Hit the thunderbolt, send troops, send troops~!"

The enthusiasm of the others was also ignited by him, and the people jumped up excitedly, shouting hoarsely, "Send troops, send troops......

The entire council hall was buzzing with their shouts.

At this moment, everyone in the Senate became warmongering.

The strong coalition army and the undefeated record of the Zìyóu army gave them the confidence to win.

Johansen shouted, "Let's go and petition the president." ”

Many people in the audience applauded loudly.

Someone in the crowd shouted, "Go, go, we can't wait indefinitely." ”

Led by Johansen, a large group of hot-headed lawmakers left their seats and flocked to the door to petition the presidential palace.

Erikson immediately ducked out of the way and watched as the crowd walked out shouting slogans.

All that remained in the Senate hall were a few dozen people, staring at each other in a daze.

Erikson smelled a little strange smell of it, and as soon as it appeared in the newspaper today, the senators were immediately instigated, and the fact that the senators had to vote three times on everything was now showing such a high level of efficiency, it was obvious that someone was behind it.

"Who did that, and what did he want out of it?" said Erickson, looking at the empty presidium, thinking to himself.

The news that a large group of senators flocked to the presidential palace to petition immediately alarmed President Bullard.

Before these people could reach the presidential palace, President Brad had already learned from his staff what had happened, and his first feeling was at a loss.

President Bullard didn't know why this was happening, and he was safe yesterday.

But before he could ask Doreni what he should do, the boiling voice was already coming from the south lawn, and an attendant ran in quickly, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the senators have arrived, and they have asked to see you." ”

President Bullard looked at his chief staff in a panic.

Doreni frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "No matter what they say, you say that you will think carefully, if they want to set a time limit, you can say as much as possible, and don't give them an accurate time." ”

President Bullard nodded, took a deep breath, and stepped out of the Oval Office, appearing a few minutes later on the south lawn of the presidential palace.

President Bullard was startled by the black crowd in front of him, he did not expect that there were so many people, and there were four or five hundred members of half of the Senate and the House of Representatives combined.

President Bullard sighed in his heart and said secretly: My poor turf has just been changed this month.

Seeing President Bullard appear, several people gathered around, and Senator Johansen, who was the leader, bowed slightly to the president and said, "Your Majesty, on behalf of the members of the Senate and the House of Representatives, we ask you that we grant permission to launch a military strike against Lei Shan, who refuses to obey the republic, until they meet our conditions." ”

Another human: "We Lingshan have been reunited, and now that we are all united, it is time to fight hard and plant the zìyóu and ** banners all over the Semitic continent." ”

"Our Lingshan situation has stabilized, and now if we don't do it, Lei Shan is about to react, and His Majesty the President should do his best to send troops. ”

He raised his arms and shouted, "For the sake of ** and zìyóu, send troops to thunder and lightning to unify the continent." ”

The hundreds of councillors behind him shouted in unison: "For the sake of **, for the sake of zìyóu, send troops." ”

"For unification~!"

“......”

President Bullard listened to their slogans and nervously pondered how to respond.

After waiting for a while, he saw that the voices of those parliamentarians were hoarse, so he raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have already experienced your urgent feelings, but military affairs cannot be decided in a hurry.

I assure you that the Semitic race will not remain divided indefinitely, and that we will consider your opinions. ”

The president's statement did not satisfy everyone, and it seemed as if he had agreed to everyone's request, but in fact he did not say anything, and everyone understands this kind of thing, and they also use such words to deal with others.

Senator Johansen stepped forward and shouted angrily, "Your Majesty, this is our best opportunity in a thousand years, and I ask you to make up your mind." ”

President Bullard nodded and said solemnly, "I will do my best to think about it." ”

"Your Majesty the President, please estimate a time, and our parliament will cooperate with your actions. ”

According to the rules, as the supreme commander of the armed forces, the president has the right to wage a low-intensity war for no more than four months, and after four months, the authorization of parliament is required.

President Bullard glanced at him dissatisfiedly and said, "This is a military matter, and I need to discuss with my generals the feasibility and plan of the war, and I also need to consult the opinion of the coalition forces."

But I promise that I will do my best to process this request. ”

President Bullard moved out of the Human Alliance, which meant moving out of Lorraine, and Lord Luo was an out-and-out emperor who had the final say on the actions of the republic.

It's okay for these senators to jump in front of Brad a few times, but they can't afford to provoke the lord.

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Johansen also accepted it when he saw it, and said, "Okay, then we will wait for the good news from His Majesty." ”

Then say hello and leave the presidential palace with people.

President Bullard returned to the Oval Office with a frown.

Doreni stepped forward and smiled, "Your Majesty, you're doing a great job. ”

President Bullard's face suddenly darkened, and he lost his temper and said, "What's going on with these newspapers? Why do they publish these things? Where is my press adviser? Let him roll over and see me~!"

Doreni was stunned for a moment, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I have already learned that every newspaper receives this kind of submission, and they just treat it as a general manuscript, and they didn't expect such a big thing to happen later."

According to my analysis, there must be someone behind the scenes, who wants to take our army. ”

President Bullard fell to his throne and closed his eyes in weariness - these congressmen really don't want to let themselves worry. For their own army expansion plan, they were already exhausted, but they didn't expect that now they would be unusual, clamoring for war.

Is the battle so easy to fight?

Who do they think they are?

Lorraine?

What a bunch of idiots~!

He stared unconsciously at the table in front of him and muttered, "What are we going to do?"

Doreni said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, we still have a few days to buffer, I'll go and inquire about the news." ”

President Bullard nodded and said, "Such a big matter, you and the coalition side have a conversation, and you must suppress this matter."

Fighting, hmph, are these grandsons paying for my military?"

At this time, no one thought about how this matter would develop in the future. (To be continued.) )
