1522 24 Hours

The new President Marillo actually got up very early, but it was not some people in the country who woke him up, but the Penteo people.

For the new president, it would be a good thing if all the warlords in the country died.

Unless they die, freedom, equality and... will be difficult to spread in Mariro. He feels that the core of the racial antagonism in Mariro lies with the warlords!

If warlords are unwilling to give up their pursuit of power, it means that they must artificially create hatred for people. Only in this way can they continue to recruit people who are willing to work with them.

The reason is that simple. If you don't find a strong backer, you will be killed by the opposing race who knows when!

Racial hatred makes the two ethnic groups continue to unite, expand, and be vigilant and aggressive. In this way, the warlords gain the support of many people.

In turn, they used massacres and attacks to vent their anger on the people under their command, and kidnapped them firmly on their chariots.

As for the people of the middle and lower classes, if they have no backers behind them, it will be difficult to guarantee even an ordinary life.

Only when all these warlords who exploited the people for their own benefit and sacrificed themselves for their own desire for power are dead, will Marillo regain peace.

Of course, winter can be a real problem.

The new president was also very surprised when he received the call, but soon he learned from the Pendeo man who called him what happened at Marillo and the federal border last night.

He spent more than an hour on the phone with the guy who claimed to be from Pengeo. After hanging up the phone, he sat in his chair and remained silent.

On the phone, the guy told him very bluntly that he had a chance to fulfill his, his father's, and all the wishes of Marillo to be stabilized!

Yes, that's what the guy said.

At the same time, he also told him that as long as the federation does not change, Marillo will never have real peace and stability.

People are not unclear about many things. Everyone can have a clear perception of who likes you, who dislikes you, and who hates you. .

The federation's malice toward Marillo was so obvious that it almost overflowed, but what could he do?

Even if he suspected that his father's death was related to the Federation, he did not dare to say anything.

Because he knew that if he told him, he might die too.

This world is cruel, and he once thought he would have to endure it for a long time, but now the Pengeo people gave him hope.

They will find a way to send some instructors, soldiers, and military equipment to Marillo to help the Marillo government form an armed force belonging to the central government!

This proposal... made him very excited.

After experiencing the chaos in Marillo and seeing the prosperity and stability of the Federation, he longed for a strong supporter more than anyone else.

In this chaotic era, the army and weapons are what matters!

He talked with the Pengeo people for more than an hour. In fact, there was nothing too practical, but the other party promised that as long as he nodded, these things would soon appear in front of him.

Of course, what he needs to do most right now is to stand up and "speak".

At eight o'clock in the morning, the new president of the central government of Marillo publicly strongly condemned the federal government and condemned them for the massacre of Marillo refugees on the border between Marillo and the federation.

He was extremely angry at the Federation's actions. He believed that this was a retrogression in human history and a stain on civilization!

In his description, it was just a group of refugees who had lost their homes and livelihood due to extreme bad weather. They went to the border just in the hope that wealthy federal people could give them some humanitarian aid.

But what they were waiting for was not delicious food or warm clothes, but bullets!

The whole world is in an uproar. In fact, in this era of extremely slow access to information, whoever speaks first will take the initiative.

At least based on the principle of human instinct to obtain information as soon as possible, they would psychologically side with Mariro.

The federal Ministry of Defense held a press conference to respond to the incident. A colonel narrated the entire incident to people and made it clear that they were not a group of refugees in need of help.

It was a group of heavily armed thugs who even killed patrol members and may further harm people in the federal territory.

When something like this broke out on such an important day in the election counting phase, all the media became excited.

They have many questions to ask the spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, such as whether the "massacre" mentioned by President Marillo existed, whether there was really an armed conflict, whether anyone died, and whether anyone was injured. .

How should the Ministry of National Defense respond to the central government's statement in Marillo? Why doesn't the president come out to respond?

At this time, a female reporter also raised her hand. The colonel officer glanced at her chest, which read "Federal Daily News", and he raised his hand to click on the reporter.

Generally speaking, at press conferences on important political events, if there is a question and answer session, there are basically naming rules.

Valley maid

There are rules for who can ask questions, who can answer questions, and how to answer them.

What the colonel didn't expect was that after the female reporter stood up and said "thank you", she asked a very tricky question.

"Hello, my question is, since the federal government does not recognize these people as refugees, and I noticed that you just used the words 'soldiers with weapons' to describe these people, can we turn this Is the military conflict considered a premeditated invasion?"

"If they are really invading the Federation, should the Federation enter a state of war now?"

One sentence made everyone focus on her for a moment. She suppressed the throbbing in her heart and her body trembled slightly.

She knew she was going to be famous because of her questions.

There is no question that with less than two days until the results are announced, an "invasion" could end the results and re-elect a scandalous president...

She will definitely be written into the textbooks in the field of journalism, and maybe people will describe her as "a reporter who changed the course of national history with one issue"!

The colonel was stunned for a moment and immediately shook his head, "Of course not. Please note that I only described it that way, not described it."

"Description is a borrowing technique, and description is a retelling of basic facts. They are not refugees, but thugs, not soldiers."

"This is not a premeditated invasion, it is just an outbreak of riots, and it is impossible for the entire country to enter a state of tension because of the riots caused by a small group of people."

He nodded, indicating that he had finished his answer, but the female reporter still did not give up. She tried to say something, but the colonel ignored him and just said indifferently: "Next question..."

The press conference continued, and high-level officials of the federal government were also in frequent contact. Even Senator Langdon was constantly "harassed" when he had breakfast with Lynch.

"Sorry..." Senator Langdon apologized for answering the phone while moving his chair forward and sitting at the edge of the dining table.

With more than a dozen senators and more than a dozen congressmen around Senator Langdon, he can be considered a new force in Congress.

And behind this new force is Lynch.

This makes these congressmen very comfortable. Compared with other capitalists, Lynch will hardly bother them with anything.

As long as someone proposes a bill or idea that is unfavorable to Lynch, they can vote against it.

Apart from that, they don't need to take the initiative to do anything, but they get a lot of money every quarter, and Lynch also pays for various daily expenses. It's so cool!

Senator Langdon's market price has also risen, and some capitalists have contacted him privately, hoping that he can speak for themselves when necessary.

Lynch has no objection to these matters.

But there is a principle, that is, you cannot harm your own interests.

In fact, in Congress, it is normal for a senator to have three or five capitalists supporting them. For example, some important committee executive members may have several financial groups behind them.

There was no foul play on Senator Langdon's part, and it was certainly not a fault.

Of course, his business is getting better and better, and naturally his work is getting busier and busier.

What happened last night is rapidly developing, and there are also some voices within Congress.

Some people believe that Congress should be the first to exercise congressional powers before the president can react.

Some people also believe that voting should be considered after the general election vote counting is completed.

Everyone has their own ideas, and different ideas are connected to different interests. In addition, some capital and even some invisible forces are stirring up Congress. People are constantly sending messages to each other and discussing some things.

Senator Langdon came to have breakfast with Lynch. The calls that were supposed to be made to his office were all transferred to Lynch with the help of his secretary.

Lin Qi looked at him with a half-smile, "You are very busy now."

Senator Langdon nodded with some emotion, "The year before last, I was almost idle. I was either going here to investigate corporate sewage issues, or I was going there to help some fishermen investigate why their fish had white bellies."

“I’ve been doing this all day, and now it’s much better!”

"At least I can do something serious and do something for the country."

Lynch had no comment on Senator Langdon's "patriotic sentiments." He lit a cigarette and took a deep breath. "Have these phone calls told you who has the upper hand in Congress now?"

In addition to the president being able to declare a state of war, Congress can also vote to put the federation into a state of war. Of course, the federal president can also lift this state.

Senator Langdon pursed his lips and hesitated.

"They feel that... we should not tolerate other people's provocations against us..."
