But the voices of these people hardly made any ripples in the parliant. The lower house mbers, representing the ruling parties and governnts of each country, looked on cautiously. The upper house, however, was in an uproar. Most of the mbers were unwilling to release power to the mber countries, fearing the loss of their influence. They preferred to believe that the Western Alliance would not dare to brazenly initiate war.
This situation persisted until the outbreak of war!
When countries like the Feiyang Republic, the Ryan Republic, and the Chuckna Republic, all mber countries of the Fei Alliance, had already declared war on various Western Alliance countries, when the unprepared Fei Alliance countries were disard by the strong offensive of the Western Alliance. Only then did the parliant successively pass resolutions, acknowledging the state of war, lifting restrictions on national military forces, and authorizing presidents to issue warti mobilization.
This was rely stripping the trousers to fart. At that ti, Western Alliance dia heavily mocked this.
"The Fei Alliance countries finally couldn’t wait for their slow parliant authorization. It’s unclear whether the state of war should count from the day of self-declaration by each country or the day the parliant passed its resolution, there’s a week’s gap in between! This is truly a muddled battle."
This ti, the always boastful parliant mbers lost face.
Nominally, the United Parliant is still the highest authority of the Fei Alliance. But in the ensuing war, they were essentially irrelevant. The Supre Command Departnt, transford from another power institution of the Fei Alliance, the Governing Council, and the Alliance Command Center jointly established by the governnts and military of each country, took over most of the power. This encompassed not only military aspects but other aspects as well.
For parliant mbers like Kerry, nothing is more tragic than losing influence.
For hundreds of years, the Fei Alliance Joint Congress, whether it be the national party governnts of the lower house or the free mbers of the upper house, had ford countless interest communities due to various forces. Among them were corporate and plutocratic interests, party collaborations and confrontations, and the interests of political families like the Kerry family.
Kerry’s father, grandfather, and great-grandfather were all free mbers of the United Parliant. The United Parliant is the source of all of the Kerry family’s power. But now, this source is drying up.
They also want to take back power, to enter the decision-making level of the war and lead the war.
However, in front of them stands a towering mountain they cannot surpass—Hastings!
The Command Departnt listens to Hastings, the Command Center listens to Hastings, the public listens to Hastings, and even many mbers of parliant hold a near-blind trust in Hastings.
The influence of the Military God, who single-handedly established the thirty-year rule of the Feiyang, is enough to make the entire United Parliant hold their noses and agree with all his decisions!
However, holding their noses is only temporary. Kerry, along with so other bustling mbers, doesn’t want to suffocate themselves. Even with Hastings, they want to wrestle!
In their view, Hastings is ultimately a soldier. A soldier who can fight a war should be on the front line, dealing with warti matters. The loss of the Fei Alliance’s leadership by the United Parliant is a regression of the democratic system!
They have been looking for an opportunity. Recently, with the setbacks of the Fei Alliance in various war zones, the voices questioning Hastings have beco increasingly loud. Hastings remained silent, hardly giving any guidance on the war situation.
And the Longbow Battle that happened at this ti clearly gave Kerry and his allies a good excuse. Their first step is to use this as an opportunity to form a resolution, to influence military affairs.
Then, they would climb up the pole step by step, expanding their influence, and initiate more proposals. To make the mber countries, to make each general understand that the power of the United Parliant still exists!
If they don’t want to beco the second Leray Federation, if they don’t want their spoils of war to be taken away for so reason, then they should bow their proud heads to the great parliant mbers.
Gambier leisurely took a sip of coffee. He handed the topic to Kerry, who jumped out eagerly. This pleased him. Although he disliked these politicians, he disliked even more the concentration of power in Hastings’ hands.
Moreover, it seed that Kerry, in his current state, is obviously interested in drawing in Leefer.
To challenge Hastings, you can’t do it without the military! A senior general with a powerful army is more useful than a hundred powerless parliant mbers!
The two of them listened to the music knowingly, not continuing the issue of who gave the check on the table. There was plenty of ti in the future anyway.
"Oh, I forgot to ntion so bad news....." Gambier put down the coffee cup, drooping his eyes, and said nonchalantly: "I heard that the spaceship of the Leray Major General nad Tian Xingjian has already crashed on Canglang Star. It’s truly saddening."
"Really?!" Kerry was taken aback and couldn’t help sitting up straight.
Seeing Gambier nod, a faint smile of realization appeared on his lips: "This is truly a pity."
Without this person who effectively leads the bandit army, perhaps the exiles in Mars might not have much loyalty to Russell. These criminals, liars, and thieves never cared about morals and principles. As long as the price is right, there’s nothing they wouldn’t sell! If soone were sent over now to make contact with the elders of the Sect Mutual Aid Alliance, to make them choose between Russell and the United Parliant, the result might be clear.
