Blackstone Code
Chapter 2686
Before noon, the outside of the Capitol was already crowded with reporters from all over the world. They stood together in groups, smoking cigarettes or chatting.
Today is the day when Congress will vote on the Doomsday First Security Act Amendment. After this period of media and official publicity, basically everyone is aware of its special nature.
The civilian armed forces will be involved in the daily security protection of the federal government, and the federal government only needs to pay certain employment fees to the civilian armed forces.
In a comparison made public to the public, the cost of paying civilian armed forces is far lower than the cost of maintaining a large-scale army!
When war does not break out, civilian armed forces are sufficient to maintain domestic security, including suppressing some unrest.
If a war breaks out one day in the future, veterans can be recalled to join the army and quickly form combat effectiveness.
With the Federation's current level of military technology, no one would come to trouble the Federation.
President Connor promised the world in his public speech on December 1 that from this moment on, the Federation would give up exporting military power.
In other words, the federal government will not launch any foreign wars abroad!
However, this does not include the defense battle of Nagaril. If someone attacks Nagaril, the federal government will still actively resist and repel the invaders.
Connor used the terms "human destiny" and "community of shared future" for the first time in a public speech. The content of his speech caused a great shock and sensation around the world!
The destiny of mankind in a terrible and harsh natural environment should be to unite closely instead of being wary of each other or even conflict!
The World Development Council immediately stood up to respond to Connor's speech and promised to lift the blockade of material transportation to some countries.
As for whether you can buy something, that's another matter.
The peace that human beings have been looking forward to since the birth of society has arrived in this terrible winter, but not many people will feel happy.
There is a greater disaster waiting for everyone not far away. Perhaps only this kind of disaster that will affect all mankind can make people put aside their prejudices and unite together.
Connor's speech fully guaranteed today's vote. Coupled with the background of world peace, the people did not object to the passage of this amendment.
However, there are still a small number of people who are very worried. For example, some people in their 40s and 50s are engaged in heavy manual labor and travel between home and factory all day long.
Adult men who occasionally have thirty or fifty yuan left over and go to a bar with some friends to buy a ninety-nine-cent glass of wine to have fun all night are very worried about this matter.
They worry that all this is a conspiracy between politicians and capitalists!
Because its passage also means a deeper intrusion of enterprises, or to put it more directly, capital into the federal security system.
Although Blackstone's security looks pretty good from now on, there is always such a small group of people who are deeply wary of capital and the government!
So fucking fucked!
At 11:55, Senator Langdon, who was in a wheelchair, was the first to be pushed out of the gate of the Capitol.
His injuries were actually not as serious as he showed, but politicians are a profession that requires the use of all convenient means to provide themselves with "extra points."
The reporters immediately heard the news and all the reporters on the steps outside the Capitol building ran toward the gate. All kinds of microphones were stretched forward crazily. The cameramen standing on the periphery looked at the crowded crowd blankly.
They turned on the machine and saw nothing but a bunch of back heads!
"Senator Langdon, did the security bill amendment pass?"
This may be a question that everyone wants to ask. It is rare that at this time, reporters can maintain a high degree of unity in attitude.
Although Senator Langdon was in a cast and looked miserable, he seemed to be in good spirits.
He nodded, "Of course, of course, it was almost unanimously approved!"
"The content of the Security Law Amendment has a great impact on society and peace around the world. I want to say that it will change our lives and make our lives better!"
After hearing these words, some people immediately turned around and ran down the steps. They had to send the news back to the press immediately. Other reporters also began to leave Senator Langdon and began to report the specific passage to their cameramen. .
As more lawmakers emerged from the Capitol, reporters were as enthusiastic about Senator Langdon as a man who had just paid thirty bucks and had a cigarette in his mouth and his pants in his waistband.
It's not that attractive anymore, unless he can do it again - if Senator Langdon has new revelations!
There were many people in front of Catherine in front of the entire Capitol Building. As the first female member of the Federal Congress, she acted very calmly during the Capitol bombing and even actively tried to solve the problem.
This made her leave a lot of good impressions on people.
Ms. Landa, a well-known women's rights activist, said that as the only female member of Congress, she can be the first to stand up when faced with danger.
This proves that women have no less courage and determination than men. On the contrary, those male congressmen who have always cooperated and remained silent have not really shouldered the responsibilities they should bear in danger!
Although these claims have been criticized by some, some believe that she was holding a party at the graves of some of the victims to attract attention.
But many people have a better impression of Catherine as a result.
The people of the Federation cannot refuse a beautiful, mature and temperamental ruler, especially a ruler from the bottom!
After reporters asked some simple questions, most of the reporters' questions were moved from the amendment to the bench!
This time the Senate really suffered heavy casualties. Some people have used this word to describe the Senate before, such as when the Conservative Party and the Progressive Party alternated power.
Conservative lawmakers in swing states have largely been replaced, but by "disastrous" I mean only that they lost power.
But this time, not only did they lose their power, they also lost their fucking lives!
"The list of new substitute members has been submitted to the two houses of Congress for final review. If nothing else happens, new members of Congress will be stationed here in a month."
"Do you think I saw the list?"
"Of course, as a part of Congress, I also have my own obligations. I can't reveal anything to you here. After all, we don't know whether this list will actually take effect until the last minute."
"If something unexpected happens because something was revealed in advance, it will definitely be my responsibility."
"But I have to say that I know some of these candidates, and they have all made achievements in their fields. I believe that they will continue to play a vital role in the development and construction of the federation in their new positions!"
Catherine dealt with it easily. Parliament was a very training place, and although its work was very busy, intrigue was also an important part of it.
You must not only speak carefully, but also be logical. The federal media especially likes to use "IQ" to attack politicians.
There are even some programs that actively ask politicians to test their IQ, and people like it very much.
If you speak confusingly and not rigorously enough, you will be labeled as mentally retarded.
Just when Catherine thought it was about the same, a reporter suddenly asked, "Senator Catherine, you have broken the blockade and tradition that there are no female members of Congress. I noticed that from the founding of the Federation to the present, there has been no female president."
"Would you consider becoming the first female president in the history of the Confederacy?"
As soon as this question came out, the reporters around looked at the reporter who asked the question in shock.
It's not that they haven't thought about it, but no one has really thought about it.
Catherine was also stunned for a moment. He looked at the reporter's press pass. He was not a reporter from "Pioneer" or a reporter from Blackstone TV.
She smiled and shook her head, "I haven't thought about it yet. My current work is very busy and very meaningful."
"I don't think the work of members of Parliament is less important than that of the President of the Federation, and vice versa. We are all working in our respective positions for a better tomorrow."
"But I appreciate your offer, maybe I will consider this possibility."
After she finished speaking, she smiled apologetically and raised her hand to stop further visits, "Sorry, I should leave!"
The reporters were very cooperative and got what they wanted.
Catherine hurried down the steps of the Capitol under the protection of bodyguards, and the moment she entered the car, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The reporter who proposed this shocking idea ran back with excitement on his face.
When he returned to his office, he immediately wrote down the content of today's interview on the manuscript paper——
"The First Female Congresswoman Says She Will Not Refuse to Run for President"
Yes, although she didn't admit it, she didn't refuse it either, and even expressed that it was a possibility!
"Senator Catherine said she will take the election issue seriously, and if the situation is right, there is a high probability that she will participate in the election!"
Soon the supplements of major newspapers were released after noon. When Lynch and Catherine had dinner together at noon, newspapers still smelling of ink were delivered to the table.
Catherine's heroic photo is in the middle of the second page, and the entire report describes in detail Catherine's career in politics.
It is almost touting her as the representative of federal women and the savior of the times!
After reading it, Lynch couldn't help laughing and said, "Did you spend money?"
He turned the newspaper back to the front page, and the name of the "Buppen Post" was very eye-catching.
The "Bupen Post" has a long history and has a certain influence in the central region of the federation and in the political arena.
The media has become increasingly commercialized over the years, and its influence on ordinary people is declining.
After all, the purpose of spending fifty cents or one dollar is to see some topless girls after watching some serious news, instead of watching serious news all the time.
But this does not mean that its status is also weakening. Politically, it is still quite authoritative.
Is it possible to be included in the "Buppen Post", especially the full second page of the supplement, without spending any money?
