Chapter 2939
Kathleen's firm opposition was expected by the Shelter Alliance people. Another representative of a large consortium looked at Kathleen with a smile, "Madam President, we are not discussing with you whether it is feasible, but informing you. , we will do so.”
"Since the advent of the Ice Age, the world's ruling order has been collapsing, and those that once existed can no longer keep up with the current development trend."
"We need to use new perspectives and new ways to deal with the new world."
"Each refuge is a lonely kingdom, and we are confident that we can manage our own kingdom."
"And you, or Congress, know this very well, so you choose to reduce the power of the federal government and push companies to the forefront."
“Why can’t we do what GSM can do?”
"Is it because we are used to keeping silent, or because you think we don't have the courage and strength to resist unfair treatment?"
He maintained an unpleasant smile, "Before this, we have recruited nearly two hundred thousand soldiers to receive military training."
"I admit that we are not GCC's opponent in terms of military strength..." He glanced at Connor, "But when it comes to defending our own homeland, I think we can do our best."
The special design of the shelter makes it like a fortress buried deep underground. The ultra-thick concrete is difficult to break even with artillery shells. If they close the door and guard the entrance of the shelter, even GCC's armed forces will be able to break it. It's hard to break through.
Once it gets to that point, and there are huge casualties on GTC's side, there is a high probability that they will negotiate peace, or give up and continue the attack.
If these people in the Sanctuary Alliance do not consider leaving the Sanctuary frequently, their existing armed forces can fully support them against the armed forces of Global Communications.
This is their confidence. It’s amazing that we won’t go out!
As long as they can persist, and there are aliens helping them now, they don't believe that Lynch will give up such a big threat to consume resources and strength with them!
It can be said that this time was chosen well. The external threats are obviously greater than the internal conflicts, and there are ways to compromise the internal conflicts. They believe that with Lynch's reason, he will make the right choice!
At this time, Connor couldn't do anything if he didn't speak. The attitude shown by these people was that they were not here to negotiate. As they said themselves, they were here to inform.
"I remember that the federal charter stipulated that if any region wants to be independent, it must go through a referendum."
“Have you had a referendum?”
"Are there any tangible results?"
"If you had held a referendum and the votes had passed, I think your demands were reasonable."
"But if you haven't even held a referendum, who are you to make a choice on behalf of the people living in your shelters?"
"The Federation is a place that values freedom and democracy. You cannot represent anyone else except yourself!"
The representatives of the Sanctuary Alliance frowned. Can't they represent those losers?
So who can represent it?
Those at the bottom live in the shelters they built, eat the food they provide, and engage in the jobs they provide. Why can't they represent these people?
But what Connor said was not unreasonable, and it sounded... more like a compromise without hurting each other's face.
As long as they pass the referendum, then the federal government agrees to their independence. Look, isn't this great?
As for the results of the voting, isn’t that what they have the final say on?
Several representatives discussed it, and finally they decided to adopt Connor's suggestion.
"We have not yet held a referendum. The issue you mentioned does require our attention. If these issues can be resolved peacefully, then this is the direction we are pursuing."
The representative who spoke pondered for a moment, "We will launch a referendum after we go back."
"Mr. Connor, your advice is very valuable and you have made outstanding contributions to the peace cause of the Federation. I think they should award you a Peace Medal."
Some people laughed, which was obviously a sarcastic comment on Connor. The federal capitalists did not have enough respect for politicians, even the president and former president.
Senior politicians, members of Congress, and the president are not alone in their deaths at the hands of capitalists in recent years.
Connor seemed to be unable to hear their sarcastic words and was also laughing, "If they can really think that way, it is also an honor for me."
"If there's nothing else...", he looked at the people opposite, "I have a party tonight."
Everyone knows what happened at Connor's party, especially the appearance of Shirley, which made him notorious in the upper class circles!
As the first former president to have sex with a sheep in public and the current vice president of the ruling group, Connor can also be said to be the first person in history!
His name will definitely be written in history, and it will not be just a few strokes or a few paragraphs.
Historians will devote huge space to him, and may even write many biographies of him alone to record his absurdity!
But from another perspective, he is indeed an easy-to-reach person, not so arrogant and arrogant. As long as you can make him feel interesting and you can play with him, he doesn't care what your identity is.
After all, even Shirley the Sheep has become a benchmark for a certain class.
It is said that the theme of tonight's party is "animals". Those people will bring their favorite pets or animals to participate in this unimaginable party that they want to take a peek at!
Mr. Patu stood up first, "Since Mr. Connor has something to do tonight and our task is completed, today's negotiation ends here."
"We will conduct a referendum as soon as possible in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Charter. When the results of the referendum come out, I hope you will stop looking for excuses!"
After saying that, the group all stood up and followed Mr. Patu away.
This time he was the first to accuse the federal government and Lynch, and he succeeded.
He now has a lot of influence within the league.
Sometimes people's fate is like this. If you don't work hard, you will never know where your future will be!
Seeing this group of people leaving extremely arrogantly, Kathleen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Do we really need to do that?" She knew the backhand of Lynch's arrangement, and used the destruction of a shelter to warn these people not to step on the red line.
But the result of this is very cruel. Thousands of people may die, and they do not die immediately after the attack.
They may be in the ruins, exhausting all their supplies, and then slowly watching death in despair!
No one will go to great lengths to dig up the rubble and rescue them!
These people are dead!
Connor seemed indifferent, "I appreciate what Lynch and I said. When they choose to become independent, it represents their position."
"We will not regret how many Pengeos our soldiers killed at Pengeo, nor will we regret that we prevented them from dividing the Union."
"People always have to pay the price for their choices, some are good and some are bad!"
Katherine was silent for a long time after hearing this. She was still not used to this kind of game where the lives of thousands of people, or even more, were used as chips.
After all, she is not the kind of capitalist child who has received the education of "profit above all else" since she was a child, or a child from a political family. It is difficult for her to be indifferent to the casualties of the people at the bottom. ,
"Tell me before you do it. I want to talk to Lynch."
Connor spread his hands and said, "It's up to you. If you can convince Lynch, I actually don't have any objections."
He didn't think Kathleen could convince Lynch, because it was really impossible for Lynch to waste a lot of resources on the civil war.
If a missile can solve all problems, why waste more time, manpower and material resources to fight a meaningless war with heavy casualties?
After returning to the office from the negotiation site, Kathleen called Lynch and said, "Today they came to inform us that they plan to become independent."
Lynch was not surprised after hearing this. In fact, the development of the situation here was under his control, "So?"
Kathleen asked after deliberation, "Are there any other ways we can reduce casualties, such as sabotaging the referendum?"
Lynch thought for a while, "I can give you permission to try, people, materials, or anything else."
"But if you fail, you will eventually have to implement my plan."
"People at the bottom will always fear those who can threaten them, rather than those who are kind or virtuous."
"For them, siding with the Sanctuary Alliance is the right choice. In a sense, they are actually staunch separatists."
"But as I just said, I will authorize you to make a last-ditch attempt. Anyone who is unwilling to participate in the referendum and is unwilling to be independent can arrange for our shelter to accept them."
"That's the biggest concession I can make."
If it weren't for the "unknown division", there would be no problem if a few missiles were fired.
Kathleen was not discouraged by Lynch's limited concessions. She knew that this was her privilege and that others could not do this.
After briefly describing how much she missed Lynch, she hung up the phone and started arranging follow-up work.
She has to try to convince those people not to vote for independence. Only in this way can she save them! !
But Lynch is very optimistic about this.
For him now, the lives and deaths of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people are no longer enough to make him stop and seriously think about countermeasures. What he cares about is the survival of all mankind!
