Chapter 1507 What Is Salvation (Part 1)
What many smart people don't understand is that Virginia Alexander turned a blind eye to the following situation, and did not use strong means to punish those resisters, nor did he stand up and call on small and medium-sized nobles and officials to cooperate with Marlo Smith As a result, he chose to sit on the sidelines and watch the new class conflicts snowball.
Some people think that this is His Majesty's test of the Marquis of Marlowe. If this imperial figure can withstand this test, His Majesty can promote him to be the new Prime Minister as a matter of course, and comprehensively lead the reform of the main body. The Equality Act still has a tough job to do.
Others don't think so, and have a negative and pessimistic view on this matter.
Regarding the conflicts at the social level, Marlo Smith held a press conference to tell the general public about the difficulties he is facing now, as well as the inside story of some conflicts, so that the public can fully see this decadent, depraved, dark The filth and filth hidden behind the naked body.
He called on the people to calm down, not to be used by those who want to keep their wealth and power, and to be more tolerant and kind to Morrison. Think about the suffering they have suffered in these years, compare your heart with your heart, and make the right choice.
He also called on the public to take active actions, monitor the actions of relevant departments and stakeholders, and expose those ugliness and crimes to the sun. For this reason, he specially opened a report mailbox to accept reports and complaints from the public about those who obstructed the implementation of the bill... The first gendarmerie composed of Morris slaves played the role of disposer and knife handle.
In addition, he promised that after the implementation of the Equality Act against Morris Slaves, he would immediately carry out innovations in civil rights, officially launch institutional reforms, fulfill pre-war commitments, and return the general public to a new world.
Marlo Smith's sincere confession has won the support of the vast majority of the people. People have a certain admiration for the man who defeated Kursk Alexander and Ingrid Alexander, drove away the Star Alliance navy, and expelled the zerg armed forces. Filled with gratitude. Now, after hearing his truthful words from the bottom of his heart, compare those nobles and officials who only know official words, stereotypes, and lies, who is sincere for the people, and who is hypocritical, you can know with your ass.
As he said, the Equality Act against Morrison is just a road-finding brick. If it cannot be implemented, then it will inevitably face stronger resistance if it really wants to reach the critical moment of institutional reform. If we don't unite now and unite as one, how can we talk about striding forward and deepening reform?
This kind of thing is not talking about it, it is not writing with a pen, it needs to be practiced and sacrificed, and rights must be won by sweat and blood, and must be obtained by hard work and sacrifice.
After Marlo Smith's televised speech, as soon as the exclusive mailbox was announced, it received many anonymous complaints and suggestions from the people at the bottom. Then Morris slaves and staff from poor backgrounds carefully selected by Marlo Smith conducted a survey on the situation described in the letter.
Things like mobilizing the rich and powerful’s cheese not only need to unite the people at the bottom to win the hearts of the people, but also need to act resolutely, practice what they say, and scare opponents by killing chickens and monkeys.
Based on the evidence obtained by the investigation team, the gendarmerie team composed of Morris slaves arrested and interrogated some people who deliberately provoked disputes and hindered the advancement of the equality law... These people bit out many behind-the-scenes manipulators. Afterwards, these behind-the-scenes manipulators bit out important government officials.
As the old saying goes, pulling out a radish will bring out the mud, and the whole matter is like a snowball getting bigger and bigger... If the investigation continues, it will touch the root of the system and endanger the politics of the whole country.
Marlo Smith's actions of uniting civilians and fighting resistance from the officialdom made those nobles and officials panic all day long, for fear of being targeted by the mad dogs of the Morris Slave Gendarmerie. The two sides can say that there was a grudge in the past, and there is a grudge today. As long as it falls into the hands of those Morris slaves, they will have to peel off their skins if they don't die. Roles like officials and nobles who are usually pampered and enjoy the favor of the people,
How could they endure such suffering? Some of them committed suicide in extreme ways, and some chose to pay someone to assassinate Marlowe Smith. Unfortunately, none of them succeeded.
The entire officialdom... no, it should be said that the Phoenix Empire society was stirred up.
Marlo Smith's behavior won the support of the public, and on the other hand, he was completely pushed to the opposite of those who hold power and wealth. Even the Smiths began to distance themselves from conservative officials who had befriended him during the Civil War and chose to break with him and isolate him.
At the same time, a folk song appeared in the society, which probably means that Marlo Smith has a stronger appeal than His Majesty the Holy Emperor. star of hope.
Rumors are flowing like a tide in civil society, and more and more people are beginning to face up to Marlo Smith's contribution. Many Chinese descendants can't help but come up with a word --- the master of high meritorious service.
Soon, their worries came true. In a meeting led by Virginia Alexander, many ministers jointly signed a letter requesting His Majesty the Holy Emperor to dismiss Marlo Smith as Minister of the Interior. Because the society of the Phoenix Empire has been torn apart to a large extent, if the situation continues to evolve, it may trigger a catastrophe no less than a civil war between conservatives and radicals. We must know that today is different from the past. Many Morris slaves have entered the army and control some real power. Once they are dissatisfied with the speed of the Equality Act or are instigated by Marlo Smith, the results will be disastrous.
Virginia Alexander considered for a period of time after learning of the appeals of the ministers, and ordered his guards to arrest Marlo Smith and throw him into a prison in the palace.
Immediately after that, domestic and foreign reporters from the Fillmos star system were called together to hold a press conference of great importance. Virginia Alexander personally announced the decision to punish Marlo Smith. In view of the fact that he had forced to death many suspects who should not be sentenced to death during the investigation of those who obstructed the implementation of the Equality Act, after deliberation by the ministers, it was decided to sentence Marlo Smith. Smith to death.
Such news shocked the entire society of the Phoenix Empire, and also caused a storm internationally.
Many people think that they have heard or misunderstood. When they rubbed their eyes and plucked their ears, they were convinced that it was a real event, not their own hallucinations and delusions, and the suppressed emotions boiled up in their hearts.
Who would have thought that Marlowe Smith, who was still in the limelight a few days ago and had a great reputation, would be dismissed from office by Virginia Alexander the next moment, and he would be hanged in public.
That is the key person who destroyed the radicals. It is not too much to describe him as saving Virginia Alexander's country. Sad ending.
The entire society of the Phoenix Empire was boiling, and the civilians were shocked by this news, and they kept discussing, asking questions, and rumors. Some people describe him as "he dies before he succeeds, and the hero burst into tears", some people describe him as "this is the biggest unjust, false and wrong case in the world", and some people use "he moved the cheese of a huge interest group". " to describe him. Of course... More people call him "strong man" or "hero".
What's the use of being sad? The arms can't twist the thighs, so is it possible that they can still fight against the state apparatus? Fighting against the steel warships that traverse the cosmic sea? Against the will of His Majesty the Holy Emperor?
A few people suddenly hope that Captain Tang can take care of the affairs here, just like when he commanded the Dreadnought Commander-class fortress to drive the Zerg around and wipe out the pests. It's a pity that they know very well that this possibility is very slim. If the young man really planned to take the Raphoenix Empire, he would have taken action when the conservatives and radicals kicked off the civil war, so why would they wait until now.
Can people blame Captain Tang for this kind of thing? Of course, they are embarrassed to have such an idea. After all, a few days ago, the Chinese people were very proud and confident to say that the facts proved that the universe would run like this without that kid. Without his help, the society of the Phoenix Empire would still usher in good changes...by Phoenix The people of the empire chose it themselves, not the road of improvement that was forced by that guy. Some Tang fans raised him to the level of the son of the times, the great sage who leads the trend, he is really stupid and ridiculous.
Not long after that, they were slapped in the face, and the pain was burning.
Many people voiced their grievances for Marlo Smith, wrote letters of petition, submitted joint appeals, and even held rallies and demonstrations, but so what?
Letters of petition and petitions would never appear on the table of His Majesty the Holy Emperor. They were torn to pieces and thrown into the stove by grassroots officials early in the morning. Crowds of rallies and demonstrations were also dispersed by armed police and military personnel. Some leaders were first beaten, then thrown into prison, and refused bail and visits.
If Marlo Smith is a sage in the eyes of ordinary people, then for Morrison, he can be called a pillar and a great benefactor. Now he was sued by the bureaucracy together, was arrested and sentenced to hang, and the Morris slaves all over the country fell from heaven to hell at once, feeling that the sky above their heads was shrouded in darkness, and it was difficult to distinguish the stars from the light.
I don’t know if it’s to appease them, or to repeat the same old tricks. Just like historical episodes, some official media published an article saying that Marlo Smith’s active promotion of the Equality Act was just to take advantage of this incident to quickly rise to the position of prime minister. , After monopolizing the power, use the power gained to eliminate dissidents, cultivate party members, and then rely on the prestige and popular support accumulated in the previous battles and subsequent reforms, and prepare to use the power of Morris slaves to launch a military coup and replace His Majesty the Holy Emperor.
All the intentions for reform, all the shouts of encouragement, all the frankness and honesty, are just Marlo Smith's disguised performances to buy people's hearts. Use one word to describe --- draw cakes to satisfy your hunger. His real purpose is to usurp power in the name of reform,
Morris slaves are a group that is easily deceived and seduced. This is a fact known to all the people in the Hillenbel region.
Once the official media article was published, it was like triggering another volcanic eruption in the Sea of Storms. Really? Many Morris slaves are asking. Really? Many people are asking... After all, there are not too many people in this world who are willing to use their brains to seriously think about problems. Most people are blind, narrow-minded, and emotional. Rational understandings such as "there is no excuse for inflicting crimes" are submerged in the sea of public opinion and under the strict control of government departments.
On the other hand, for the rentier class that has deep conflicts with Marlowe Smith, especially the group that sucks blood on the back of the Morris slaves, it is really a change from the past. The decision made was a joke about Marlo Smith's final fate.
Some people use "seeing him getting up from the Zhulou, seeing him entertaining guests, seeing his building collapse." This kind of expression full of gloating and ironic colors describes the process of Marlo Smith from being popular in front of His Majesty to becoming a prisoner.
As long as Marlo Smith died, the implementation of the Equality Act must be suspended, and a Morris slave would remain a Morris slave, not a Morris man.
Even the Equality Act against Morris Slaves could not be implemented, let alone the subsequent institutional reforms... This matter can be said to be a crucial victory for nobles and officials.
At the same time, the spokespersons of the Star Alliance, the Charles Federation, the Republic of Dorrancus, and the United Kingdom of Turanx publicly expressed their concern about this matter, and hoped that Kirclough I would take the execution of Marlo Smith seriously. s consequence.
Although they didn't clearly state their demands, anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was a disguised form of pressure, asking Kirclough Stewart to give him a lighter sentence and not to do anything wrong.
As for monopoly countries such as the Mongya Empire, the Sulu Empire, and the Sauron Empire, they are naturally happy to see the current scene. The death of Marlo Smith meant the death of reform.
Like those old politicians in their 60s and 70s, they mock the so-called progress, so-called freedom, and so-called enlightenment of young people in society. Throughout history, how many people in power have boasted about reform, equalization of the rich and the poor, division of land, and ownership by the whole people... Facts have proved that they are brainwashing propaganda used to fool the public and work hard for them. Only those with childish thinking will believe it.
History is always repeating itself, and tragedies are always reincarnated. Why can't those poor people see through, and they are deceived and used over and over again. Common people... can be pitiful and deplorable, but also resentful and contemptible.
Virginia Alexander said that he wanted to reform in such a difficult period, but after he really stabilized the situation and regained power, would he kill himself? Even if he is determined to do this, will those who carry the sedan chair for him allow him to do so? If they stopped lifting the sedan chair with all their strength, and if there was a cliff next to them, would His Majesty the Holy Emperor be afraid?
So, the emperor's promise... Just listen to it, don't expect it to be perfectly fulfilled.
