Capítulo 1569: Chapter 727: Just Don’t Send Victor to the North Arican Martial Temple!_2
“We’ve given them a ager salary barely enough to sustain family expenses?! We’ve given them inadequate dical benefits after returning ho, where they have to queue for months to deal with the psychological scars from the battlefield?!”
“This is a disgrace!”
“This is not just neglect; it’s a depletion of our national credibility! It’s a betrayal of those Aricans in uniform!”
The chamber was silent, with only his powerful voice echoing. Many mbers of Parliant, especially those with military backgrounds or whose constituencies had large military bases, looked solemn and serious.
“So, I stand here today, not to request but to demand!” Little Bush’s tone was firm and filled with Texan toughness, “I demand the passage of the ‘Strengthen Military Welfare’ bill!”
“Stronger welfare ans retaining experienced veterans and skilled personnel. It ans our soldiers can focus more on their tasks with less worry about their family’s livelihood!”
“Ladies and gentlen of Parliant.”
“The world is not peaceful, and inside the United States… it’s a ss. We’ve lost too much; we should wake up now.”
“Let’s stop the endless petty partisan bickering!”
He opened his arms, showing a stance of unity, “Let’s transcend political calculations and make the right choice for once.”
He took a deep breath and, with all his strength, made his final appeal:
“God bless you, God bless our army, God bless the United States of Arica!”
Little Bush stood on the spot, slightly panting, his eyes resolute as he faced the stage below.
He wanted to secure the military’s support, so he offered money and enhanced benefits.
The United States is like this; initially, it disregarded people, almost turning veterans into compressed biscuits. Later, during World War II, it made heartfelt declarations.
During the return from the Vietnam War, they said you were trash of the era, butcher murderers. Now they need you and call you heroes.
Don’t be like so idiot, wanting a military coup while cutting al allowances.
It’s headache-inducing, with the left and right sides of the brain conflicting.
Do the people at the bottom have the power to choose?
The dust of history for most people is like a mountain.
After a brief silence—
“Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Thunderous applause suddenly erupted, sweeping through the entire chamber!
Many mbers of Parliant, especially Republican mbers and so hawkish Democrats, clapped vigorously, the applause lasting as if it might lift the roof.
Little Bush knew he at least took a solid first step.
Or perhaps…
Many still refused to let ili Ruan remain so weak.
Great King, lead us to charge once more!
Just don’t send Victor into the North Arican Martial Temple.
Little Bush observed the applause before him, with no joy in his eyes, but rather a seriousness; his opponents were stronger.
The thunderous applause from Parliant Hill seed to still echo, but Little Bush’s face showed little joy in victory. He understood well that dostic division was the real great danger. And on the
very afternoon he gave his speech, a eting far more critical than the congressional address was taking place deep within an inconspicuous private club in Washington D.C.
This club appeared quaint externally but had extraordinarily strict security inside, handled by trusted confidants of Little Bush.
Choosing this location instead of the White House was precisely because Little Bush and his think tank had clear recognition that the White House, symbol of power, within its walls was infiltrated by countless hostile forces, negating absolute confidentiality.
At this mont, sitting opposite Little Bush were secret representatives from states like Arkansas, Mississippi, South Dakota, which had declared independence.
Their expressions varied, including wariness, scrutiny, and a slight, unnoticeable expectation. The independence of these states was, to a large extent, an act of self-preservation and opportunism under the backdrop of the federal governnt’s collapsing authority and the rise of regional warlords and strongn.
It’s like fanning the flas from behind.
These entities lacked substantial strength, missing the financial and military foundation for sustained independence, notably struggling after losing the federal governnt’s financial transfers and subsidies, with internal conflicts starting to surface.
Little Bush didn’t waste much ti on pleasantries and directly addressed the core issue:
“Gentlen, ti is tight, let’s skip pleasantries. I’ve invited you here for one reason only, to end this futile farce of division that weakens us all, to bring your states back under the flag of the United States of Arica.”
The representatives remained silent; no one imdiately opposed, though doubt lingered in their eyes.
Little Bush leaned forward slightly, “I know what concerns you—worried about losing autonomy after returning? Fear of retribution afterward? Concerned about not gaining proper benefits? Good, then I will offer you terms today that you can’t refuse.”
“I swear on the honor of the Bush family, everything said below is true and effective!”
This statent was spoken carefully.
God may not be reliable.
But the family’s political life and future are certainly reliable. After all, examples like Sima Yi swearing by the Luo River and causing misfortune for many afterward are indeed rare.
He gestured for the advisors beside him to distribute the already-prepared docunt outlines to the representatives.
“First, finance and infrastructure. Arkansas will receive an annual extra allocation of $5 billion in special reconstruction funds from the Federation over the next five years to update your outdated highways, bridges, and broadband networks, with priority given to the modernization of the Arkansas sections of I-40 and I-49 interstate highways. anwhile, Pine Bluff Arsenal will receive priority orders, ensuring employnt and tax revenue.”
