Looking at the other party's attitude, Zhao Yu frowned slightly. However, he controlled himself very well and did not let anyone see it.
"This is really annoying. Do people nowadays always think that hiding in the bunker world is safe? Building warships was an attempt to start a civil war. What kind of bullsh * t concept was this?”
Beside him, a councilman stood up for Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in a suit speaking up for him.
This person was called Zhou Shu Ren, a representative of China Space City. He had received Zhao Yu's help before.
Zhao Yu checked his attributes and found that the other party's attitude towards him was recognition. He could be considered an old family member and was worth fighting for.
Zhao Yu thought for a moment and smiled." Ignore him. I wonder if Shuren is free tonight. Let's get together and talk about it."”
There was no friendship in politics, but allies could be made.
If he could get the support of Huaxia Space City, it would be of great help to his next plan.
"We're here today to vote on the proposal. What can happen? Don't worry, Brother Zhao. Hua Xia City supports the space fleet, so how could they dismantle the military? Tiffany and the others aren't trying to take the opportunity to break you up so that they can control the fleet and maintain their share of space trade. They won't agree to this.”
Zhou Shu Ren said.
"That's for the best. However, I didn't invite you to dinner tonight for this matter. It's for another matter.”
"Sure, sure."
Zhao Yu chatted with Zhou Shuren while planning how to deal with the interest groups led by Tiffany.
The parliament hall was cone-shaped, and all the human space city projections were displayed above the parliament hall, representing that the Solar System Federation was the only legal government recognized by all humans.
The 1,000 representatives sat in their respective seats, listening to the proposal and making their own decisions.
The most important proposal today was about the research of the warp drive engine by the Star World Corporation. It was a proposal to split it from the space fleet and convert it to civilian use.
Zhao Yu voted in favor of the proposal to seal off the Star World Corporation to avoid being suspected and affecting his fleet.
Soon, it was the Sun Fleet's turn.
Tiffany stood on the round platform underground and began to express her opinion.
" After the Three-Body Civilization left, our fleet was reduced several times, but it is still a huge burden. The Federation spends so much tax revenue every year to support such a burden. I think it's very unreasonable. Now we are in the fear of the dark forest, and the attacks from the universe are constantly threatening us. We have to speed up the construction of the bunker to ensure that the citizens of the Federation can safely survive this crisis. " Therefore, I suggest that the space fleet be reduced again. We only need to maintain the size of 15 Stellar-level warships. With the cooperation of other small warships, we can complete the security mission of the Solar System Federation.”
Tiffany bowed deeply.
The councilmen who supported her applauded. It seemed that she had communicated with many councilmen before proposing the bill. It was imperative.
Zhao Yu walked to the round platform and tidied his clothes before he began to give his speech.
"Actually, I have nothing to say. What Senator Tiffany said is correct.”
Zhao Yu's words echoed in the ears of all the representatives through instant messaging.
Not only were those who were prepared to oppose the proposal dumbfounded, but even those who were prepared to support the proposal were dumbfounded.
What was this guy thinking? He was going to split the fleet. Shouldn't he be shouting at the top of his lungs?
Why was he so calm?
The parliament was making it public to the entire Federation, but only the people on Earth could receive the real-time images. The other worlds in the solar system would only receive these signals after a few minutes.
"I have no right to force you to maintain the fleet. If you want to dissolve it, then dissolve it. But before that, I hope you can think clearly. Human civilization and technology had stagnated for more than 300 years under the three-body blockade. Our understanding of the starry sky is only limited to the 21st century. It's not much better than it was then.”
Zhao Yu glanced at all the representatives and paused for a moment before continuing," According to the Black Forest's philosophy, every light spot that you look up at is your enemy. Our position has been exposed, just like a poor boy in the dark forest who has been marked out. He only has a wooden stick in his hand, and his enemy is a fully armed hunter and a wolf full of fangs. All these years, as the admiral of the fleet, I had a question in my heart. Why would humans still break their only weapon when they knew that there were enemies?”
" We pay for the mistakes of our ancestors in the Christian era. They only need to press a button on the astronomical launch platform, and we will live in fear for the rest of our lives. " We are paying for the mistakes of our ancestors who deterred The New Age. They only needed to shout for love and justice and vote for a woman to send us to hell. We don't know when they will be destroyed by a civilization stronger than us. Let's make a mistake for our descendants who might be living in the ruins of the planet and let them pay for us. We do not know when the Dark Forest will strike, nor do we know the scale, how many people will survive, or whether the Solar System can continue to survive. Perhaps our future generations will look up at the empty sky. Civilization will be destroyed, productivity will be completely destroyed, and the surviving people will be unable to cope with the flying meteorites. They will be divided into various space cities and will only die in despair and hunger.”
"Of course, we don't know about all of this. Just like how the people of the AD Era and the Age of Intimidation don't know what kind of fear we live in. We don't know what will happen to the people in the future. The only thing we can be sure of is that their lives will definitely be worse than we imagined. We only need to know how much money we can save by reducing a Stellar-level warship, and how much more revenue a certain group will receive if they get a large transport ship. I don't have the strength to persuade you anymore. You just need to look at the child beside you and say disdainfully that his future has nothing to do with me. Let's vote and enjoy the present. The future has nothing to do with us.”
Zhao Yu's words were like thunder, shaking everyone's hearts.
