Chapter 1490 Dissolution of Parliament

1490. Dissolution of Parliament

"As the chief of defense, how can you say that you are not ready!" a congressman asked sharply.

Locke said lightly: "It's okay if I say something that makes everyone feel comfortable. But my duty is not to make everyone feel comfortable. My duty is to defend Zion."

"So do you think we can hold against this attack?" asked the Speaker.

"If Xi'an fights with all his strength, then he can hold on." Locke said with his head raised.

"Since we can hold it, why do you say that we are not ready?" The speaker continued to ask.

"If we can defend this wave of offensive, what about the next wave? What about the next wave? This time it's 250,000 mechanical squids, so what about the next 500,000 mechanical dinosaurs?" Locke replied.

"Pay attention to your words! Jokes like mechanical dinosaurs are not suitable for this occasion!" said a congressman.

"I'm sorry, gentlemen." Locke immediately apologized.

"If we can repel this wave of robots' offensive, then they will not have more mobile forces to attack for at least a year. After all, according to the investigation of our hovering spaceship troop, the robots should be in the previous war. Both China and human beings will suffer, and their main control area is only around the machine city." The speaker said.

"With all due respect, Your Excellency, the information we obtained before was wrong. Based on the wrong information and using the wrong model to simulate the war, the conclusions drawn are even more ridiculous. You know, according to our According to previous intelligence calculations, the robot can only send more than 20,000 mechanical squids at most this time, but what is the truth? 250,000!!" Locke said in a deep voice.

Several congressmen wanted to yell loudly, but the speaker waved their hands to stop them. She said to Locke: "Then, tell me, what kind of support Zion should give you, so that you can go fighting?"

"I hope to issue a general mobilization order for Zion! All residents over the age of 14 and under the age of 70, regardless of gender, are all involved in the battle!!" Locke said.

"Bastard!! How is this possible!! Locke!! If according to what you said, there will be nothing left in Zion after this battle!! You! You exaggerated the strength of the robot before, and now you are making such a request!! You Tell me, do you have any plans!!" A congressman jumped up and shouted sharply.

"If the battle fails, then what can we have left?" Locke looked at them coldly and asked.

"Are you blackmailing us with this battle?" The speaker asked in a deep voice, "If we don't agree, will you lose the war on purpose? Then if we agree to your request, the entire Zion will actually be in your hands." Under the control of one person! You will become a dictator!!"

"Don't worry, Speaker, I definitely don't have such thoughts." Locke immediately stood at attention and said.

"Since there is no one, then go back quickly and use the resources in your hands to fight this battle well!! Destroy the invading mechanical squid!" The speaker said slowly.

At this time, a powerful voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Then if this battle fails, is it because Locke is dissatisfied with you for rejecting his request and deliberately lost? Or are you complacent, despising the enemy, and refusing to issue a general mobilization What caused it?"

Everyone immediately followed the sound and looked out the door. After Locke saw the person clearly, his expression changed. He said in amazement: "Murphys...is it you? Why are you..."

It was Murphys who came, and he came in from the gate of the temple with Neo, Trinity, Peacock and Jane Connor behind him. He looked at Locke and said: "My personal grievances with you are personal grievances, but my purpose is always for human beings! For Zion!!"

"Murphys! This is not where you should be! You should be at the assembly point of the hovercraft now, ready to launch a counterattack!" The speaker snapped.

Murphys looked around at everyone, and said slowly: "I came here because I heard the hesitation in your hearts! It's because I heard the fear in your hearts! I can't understand why when the enemy is in front of us, we They dare not even issue a general mobilization order!"

"Are you questioning our determination? Murphys! Everyone present, including myself, is willing to take up arms and die for Zion at any time!" the speaker said sternly.

"There are many kinds of death. It is easy to make a stupid decision-making mistake and then die, and it can also avoid subsequent criticism. It is really cost-effective. But what Zion needs is not this kind of thing!! What Zion needs, It's the determination to fight the robot army to the last person! It's not to think about your own future!!" Murphys was a little excited, and he waved his fist vigorously.

"How dare you say that about us..." The speaker was completely outraged, and her voice sounded a little trembling.

"Please issue a general mobilization order, Your Excellency the Speaker." Murphys stared at the Speaker and said slowly.

"What if I say no?" The Speaker asked back through gritted teeth.

Locke closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then took a step forward and said sharply: "Then temporarily dissolve the parliament!! The entire Zion will be temporarily handed over to the Defense Center for command!!" He expressed his support for Murphys with actions .

"Is this your real purpose? Locke? Murphys? Guards! Guards! Arrest them!!!" The speaker picked up the mallet and slammed the rattle loudly.

"If you want to call the people at the door, they are falling asleep now." Jane Connor said with a smirk, "They are actually quite powerful, there are more than 50 people, and it took my mother 30 seconds, not bad, not bad .”

"You..." The speaker's body trembled with anger.

However, the old man who had been standing next to him, Congressman Harman, suddenly walked over and patted the speaker on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, take it easy, this round, Murphys won."

"This is a betrayal!! I will immediately announce your crimes to the whole of Zion!" The Speaker shouted.

Congressman Harman said seriously: "Are you sure you want to do this? Start a civil war when the enemy is coming in an hour?"

The speaker suddenly froze. She looked at Congressman Harman, then at Locke, Murphy, and Neo, Jane Connor and others behind him, and then sat down slumped.

Councilor Harman smiled, and came to the Speaker on his own, pulled a USB flash drive from her belt and threw it to Locke, and said seriously: "Then since you think we old bones are useless in this battle Well, then we will listen to you once. Let you play freely! I hope you don’t bring Zion to destruction. This is the speaker’s authorization key. From now on, Zion is under your full command.”

Looking at the USB flash drive in his hand, Locke immediately stood up in awe, saluted a military salute, and said loudly: "Please rest assured! In this war, we humans must have the last laugh!!"

"Hehehehe, that's good, that's good." Councilor Harman said, walking towards the door.

"Where are you going? Representative Harman." The speaker asked.

"Hehe, since the parliament no longer exists, I am no longer a member of parliament... Remind me that I was a brave soldier 20 years ago! Since I am a soldier, my destination is the battlefield... "Rep. Haman said, and walked out without looking back.

Locke turned and walked towards Murphys, and when he came to him, the two looked at each other for a long time before he said, "Thank you, Murphys."

"I said that I help you for the sake of human beings and Zion! As for the grievances between you and me, it will come to an end!! But, not now." Murphys said in a deep voice.

Locke nodded, and then gave a military salute to Murphys and said: "Then Captain Murphys, now I officially appoint you as the deputy commander! Help me repel the robot attack!"

"Yes!" Murphys also returned a military salute.
