StarCraft In the Palm of Your Hand

Chapter 403 Politics

Half an hour later, the twelve ministers returned to the meeting room.

"Let's continue the topic just now." Bernard said with a cheerful face, "The term of office is a realistic issue before us. We must not only consider the people, but also the future of our party. Only we continue to be re-elected. In order to lead all mankind to expel the ancient legion from the outer solar system, and then go to a better life, so I hope you can support my proposal, within two months, start the military operation to recover Saturn! After all, we still need a month to come It will end the battle, won't it? Hehe..."

"Lead all mankind to expel the ancient legion from the outer solar system, and run towards a better life?" Marshal Duncan pointed at the Minister of Propaganda and angrily said, "Bernard, people can't be so shameless, do you think I will listen to you like those people? Your propaganda full of exaggeration and lies? And what did you just say? Two months! Do you want to advance it?"

"Of course, if the war starts in three months, we will have already stepped down by the time we win." Bernard said with a smile.

Bernard scanned the faces of all the other ministers. He had just talked to everyone except Marshal Duncan, and many pairs of eyes had a tacit understanding with him.

Bernard almost laughed in his heart, but he sighed pretentiously, and said, "Marshal Duncan, I also know that this battle will be fought within two months, which will definitely cause inconvenience to the military, but please convey it to the military. The earnest expectations of the people, we ask them to exert their full combat power, and we will also gather the strength of various ministries to give green light to the conscription work in all aspects."

The Minister of Industry went on to say: "The various resources needed by the military can be met first. For the equipment problem, I will go back and urge the major arsenals to work overtime to solve it for you."

The Minister of Finance also followed suit: "If there is a shortage of money, I can take the lead and submit a proposal to the joint parliament to issue additional special war national debt. Any method that can speed up the training of soldiers can be fully supported by the Ministry of Finance."

Several other ministers also expressed their approval.

Afterwards, Bernard spoke again, and he danced while speaking: "As for the soldiers who died in battle, although it is a pity, they sacrificed their lives for a just cause and fought to the death for all mankind. What an honor it is! They are more than ten times nobler than those soldiers who died in human civil wars since ancient times. For these sacrificed soldiers, I will also mobilize all the power of the Propaganda Department to make their glorious deeds live forever, to encourage future generations, and to enjoy the benefits of those who did not participate in the war. The glory that cannot be enjoyed! Let everyone know that their death is glorious, just, and eternal!"

Marshal Duncan looked at him, and said a few words coldly: "It's such an honor, why don't you die!"

Bernard suddenly choked and coughed violently. Several ministers around him also laughed, but they restrained themselves immediately, and then helped Bernard persuade Marshal Duncan.

When Marshal Duncan saw them like this, he knew in his heart that they had been persuaded by Bernard, and his face flashed with anger, but he didn't break out.

He has spent his whole life on the battlefield, and in terms of politics, he is still not as good as these people who have been in the power field from the beginning, but at this time he also sees that no matter what he says now, these people will not change their minds anymore.

Bernard regained his breath, hated Marshal Duncan, and shouted a few times in his heart to be damned stubborn, but to be the Minister of Propaganda, it is not enough to have a thick skin. He quickly adjusted his mentality, tidied his clothes, and said : "It seems that the conflict between Minister Duncan and us is difficult to mediate. We should use the democratic method to vote and decide. If you agree to start war in three months, please raise your hand..."

After the vote, Marshal Duncan sank into his chair and said nothing, while Bernard shook hands with several ministers one by one. His proposal to go to war in three months was supported by ten votes, one against and one abstention The great advantage was passed.

The objection was naturally Marshal Duncan, but the abstention vote was cast by the Minister of Health.

Seeing the disparity in the results, Marshal Duncan looked at the other ministers with disappointed eyes, and said angrily: "Short-sighted guy, no matter what you say, two months is definitely not enough time, I'm going to find His Excellency President Frank, Bernard, Even if you can convince everyone, you have to go through the test of His Excellency the President, if he doesn’t approve, the proposal will be rejected.”

Instead of worrying, Bernard smiled triumphantly: "To be honest, I discussed this matter with His Excellency President Frank before the start of today's meeting. You must know that His Excellency President is also facing the pressure of the general election. , as the leader of the party, the pressure on him is even greater than ours, so I finally persuaded His Excellency the President to stand on our side. I have already discussed this situation with the ministers."

"That's true. During the suspension of my meeting, I also talked to President Frank, and the President also admitted it." The Minister of Health sighed, "It's really ironic. It's not people who understand the war that decides the direction of a war. , but his opponents."

After the meeting, Marshal Duncan walked out of the conference room with a dark face, and his adjutant followed immediately. Marshal Duncan went all the way to the rooftop, where he could look up at the sky through the hemispherical glass outside.

The man-made cool wind blows slowly. The wind contains many kinds of nutrients for health care, and also has a clear fragrance. Frequent blowing is good for the body.

"It's a pity that the military only has the power of combat command and administrative management. When, where, and whom to go to war must be decided by twelve ministers. The reason for making this decision is for public opinion. Hey, is this the public opinion?" Did you ask for it?” Marshal Duncan said softly.

"Sir, what did you say?" His orderly didn't catch him.

"I said, **** off democracy." Marshal Duncan snorted, turned and left the rooftop.

…

Although the decision to go to war in three months' time was very secret, it still reached Yang Ying's ears through the intelligence system of Ghost Agent.

"Taking Saturn in three months? Sure enough, it's the idea of ​​a politician. No, this can't be regarded as politics anymore, it should be regarded as the idea of ​​a gambler." The cause and effect of this incident have been placed on Yang Ying's desk. At the same time, Yi Wan and Bailey's information was also put aside.

"Ghosts, ghosts, and gods have come out, and the battle between the ancient legion and humans has become much more complicated. Humans' own politicians, big families, and big businessmen are all against humans. What is wrong?" Yang Ying whispered. muttered to himself.

Kalia said aside: "I think it can only be explained by using 'everyone for himself'."

"Everyone for himself..." Yang Ying chewed the word for a while, nodded and said, "It's a good word."

"In their eyes, the human world is an inexhaustible mine. They haven't thought much about the human world, but spare no effort to fight for their own interests. This kind of situation is human nature, but the people who do If there are too many, there will be problems." Kalia shrugged.

"There's a saying that says that if you want to kill people, you must first make them crazy. Now that this situation has been created, if this continues, the human world may really be in danger." Yang Ying said slowly.

"Sir, is there something we need to do?" Kalia asked.

Yang Ying thought about it very seriously, and said: "We should indeed do something, but I haven't figured out what to do and how to do it. Let's talk about this issue tomorrow when I go to the staff department."

Kalia's eyes froze. He knew that Yang Ying must have a big plan when he said that. If it's a small matter, he only needs to say a word, and there is no need to bother the staff. He took a step back, UU reading www.uukanshu.com He bowed and said, "Yes, sir."

After Yang Ying waited for him to go out, he punched the air, causing circles of ripples. There seemed to be a gust of tenth-level wind blowing around. Some small things, such as pens and decorations, were rolled up into the air and fell down again. to the ground.

It's good that this punch is in the air, otherwise no physical object in the command room can withstand Yang Ying's punch.

This time, Yang Ying was really angry. As a time traveler, he has always had a sense of alienation from the earth five hundred years later. In many cases, he looked at the world with the eyes of a bystander. , just like playing a game, this world is doing such and such things.

At the beginning, Istar of Caesar's mercenary group came to provoke him. Although he defined the opponent as an enemy and carried out the operation of total annihilation, his heart was not too disturbed. His power is getting bigger and bigger, and there are interests in many places, but whenever he sees the statistics of his assets, he just glances at the numbers, and the fluctuations in his mind are not big.

To say that there was only one time when he was really angry, when Santos saw the experimental base of the Caesars Group in the underground, he was angry once, and he cleaned up the entire Caesars family in one rage.

In addition, even if the near council came to the door, he just gave a head-on blow, and did not get angry, just a counterattack as it should be.

However, this time he learned that the Earth Army would launch an attack in March, and the reason was just that some politicians wanted to ensure their own status, and his anger welled up again.

He still remembered the hut outside the battlefield, that Mrs. Browen. If the war broke out after March, there would be many more widows like Mrs. Browen on the earth, and how many families would be torn apart.

"In any case, take some measures to delay the start of the war to half a year later, those politicians, they are guilty!"
