Chapter 10 Machine Front
A vast era kicked off.
The Xipang Empire assembled a large army of 2.4 million, and fifteen "Saint Elephant-class" fleets with the highest combat power. The brave and war-hardened prince of Xipang and King Xia Erde were the commander. Through the Weimar space channel, he invaded the Great Eagle Empire.
The Weimar Space Channel is one of the important large space passes connected by the Xipang Empire and the Great Eagle Empire on the Interstellar. When the Western Empire launched a war announcement to alarm the Human Star Covenant and the Great Eagle Empire, the Xipang army, which was originally expected to take a month to completely transport through the Weimar Space Channel, took less than a week to invade this passage with its invasion and cross the passage with fire. It was approaching the unprepared Cangzhou Star Zone of the Great Eagle Empire.
The people of the Lower Sanyan Galaxy were on their way to retreat. They saw the airports and guard ships above the planet falling down with fires burning, and the fleet of Xipang and locusts were raging.
When he learned that the three main stars of Cangzhou Star Zone fell, the second fleet led by veteran Feibos, the fourth fleet led by General Li Qinghe, and one million soldiers rushed to Cangzhou Star Zone as soon as possible to stop the enemy from greeting each other, avoiding the expansion of the corruption in Cangzhou Star Zone.
In August, the fleets of both sides opened a front in the universe.
In September, after the two armies led by Phipps and Li Qinghe initially slowed down the advance of Wang Xia Erde, after detailed plans were formulated, they decided to launch the "Second Three Extension Galaxy Battle" with the goal of attacking Wang Xia Erde's army's supply line.
In this battle that lasts for several months in the coming months, the 300,000 officers of the Second Fleet and Fourth Fleet of the Empire's Five Fleets, and more than 30 mechanics units were deployed to the landing and exchange operations against the three main stars of the lower Sanyan Galaxy System... In history, this fierce battle was called "Autumn Offensive" by both sides.
This is also the autumn of the star circle in the imperial capital.
The impact of war has not penetrated into this vast capital star land.
It is still as usual here. On the road to the suburbs and forests, you can always see leisurely people driving around with their families and children. The commercial street is still as prosperous as before. From a distance, the huge city is a endless stream of spacecraft.
So when Lin Hai walked out of the ground airport, he looked up and saw dozens of spacecraft of all kinds breaking through the air.
In the distant sky, aircraft are as dense as dust clouds.
It's indeed the magnificent spirit of the capital's star circle
I have long heard rumors that the capital star is 100 times larger than the riverside star, ten times larger than the Milan Star, the leading capital of the Milan Star, and has a greater influence on the prosperity of political and economics. Although the capital star is so large, it meets all the environments for human settlement. For example, the water and soil here are softer and the light is abundant. Under a larger volume than the riverside star, the planet's density is relatively small, so the gravity Gf ox is still stable. It meets all the conditions required by humans.
At the same time, there are princes and nobles and nobles here. In the past, the congressman-level officials of planets like the Riverside Star could be seen everywhere here.
So much so that the mayor of a city with a third-level planet like the Riverside Star is the same as the officials in the management street. The second-level capital Milan Star is even worse than the district-level executive of a city. The star district-level councillor may be barely qualified.
In the aristocratic world, the earls with a height of star on the riverside are in the capital star, and perhaps the three of the three of the ten arriving cars outside the airport are count-level nobles. A star capital is also one of the few marquis and nobles. Perhaps if you find a professor in the famous schools of the capital star, you can have a connection with the marquis' family. According to preliminary estimates, there are thousands of marquis in the capital star.
A member of the star area and the speaker of the star area with only one star area can barely be considered as entering the house and is eligible to attend the House of Commons.
The four non-capital star areas of the Empire are only a dozen speakers and hundreds of star district members, accounting for less than half of the seats in the House of Commons.
Most of the remaining seats in the House of Commons are members of the huge capital star area political circle.
Not only is the capital star ten times larger than the Milan star, but even the vast star field in the capital star circle is above the sum of the interstellar territory of the other four major star regions.
It is conceivable that the complexity of the capital's star circle is vast.
In the capital star under such a huge atmosphere, the war on the front is just a topic of interest that people discuss after dinner, just a battle news report sent back from the big screen on the commercial street, the frustration of the falling planet and the cheers after the win.
On the day when he first arrived in Capital Star, Lin Hai and Lin Wei and his family went to see the family's residence address. The person who came to receive Frank, a member of the House of Commons.
Frank ranks in the second-level position in the House of Commons.
Long before coming to Capital Star, the Lin family had already collected various intelligence information from many aspects. The House of Commons has a hidden and unannounced ranking, which means that the thousand members of the House of Commons will be divided into five levels according to their political influence, administrative level and authority held by them.
These five levels correspond to the administrative levels of the five parliamentary groups. They are "Minister", "Supervisor", "Senator", and "Associate". This is just the difference in the administrative levels of the positions they hold. As a member of the House of Commons, they also have the right to vote for state affairs. However, the size of the real power is arranged according to these administrative levels.
The first level is naturally the highest level, which means that the real power figures of the empire are all the highest officials of each department of the cabinet. They are all energy factions that can call the wind and rain in the empire with every move. Such figures are generally "ministers" at the administrative level.
The second level has relatively little impact, but its ability to indirectly affect the empire is not bad. If you want to stir up trouble, it will be very destructive and not many people can stand it. Even such people have a bunch of powerful party members on hand, and if you have a little chance, they can replace the top position and become candidates for the No. 1 politician group of the House of Commons. Such people are generally "supervisors" in administrative rank. They are responsible for the important tasks of some important departments.
Lin Hai's family has just entered the fifth level of the House of Commons. It means that they only have a seat in Parliament, but political energy and influence are simply insignificant. The positions corresponding to their "sergeant" administrative level are just star district councillors or speakers, or regional chiefs in the capital's star circle.
Some people compare the wrestling of the Imperial Congress to the battle between sharks in the ocean. Low-level MPs are like shrimp soldiers and crab generals following those big sharks to fight. If a whale shark is following, the whale shark boss may be bitten and tear his skin and flesh. He jumps downstream and stays dormantly, but most of these shrimp soldiers and crab generals will have to be swallowed by the winner's whale and swept into the belly and cleansed.
Since ancient times, there are countless lower-level MPs who have been cleansed due to the changes in the wind direction of the high-level. Even the empire has a famous saying - "The iron-clad parliament is the flowing MPs." It means the cruelty of blood sweeping under this fierce struggle.
Frank is the lead in the Lin Hai family in Congress.
The so-called guide is just a common name. In fact, it is the person who appointed by the Congress to help settle new members. It is logical that people like Frank have entered the second "Shangguan" group of parliament and have many party members. You can do such things properly by simply finding a third or fourth-level political participation or senator, but you have to come in person. Naturally, you have the intention to recruit.
For the recruitment of new members of parliament, there is of course an opportunity to show goodwill that people can first get the best of their kindness. If they can be trusted with a promise for a while, they can be embraced by people.
However, this is also a very dangerous moment, which is called climbing the backstage. However, a background backstage means having enemies that can be confronted. Catching the top leaders of the Congress who are fighting can easily gain power and lose power, which will affect a pond of fish.
At that time, these big men can get up by themselves and make a comeback, so-called reshuffle rotation. But the little congressman cannot play this kind of Feng Shui game. Often, once it is subverted, it will harm you for life. Don’t expect the former boss who is too busy to take care of you. Even if a big forbearance is gritting his teeth and working hard to get the power, he may not be able to use you again, who has fallen into the mud. It is better to directly recruit more newcomers who are willing to climb over and don’t have many ascites to use.
But it's just such a risky game, which can be played for thousands of years.
Fortunately, the political circle has developed to this day and is quite mature. At least, as a person like Frank, it may not necessarily make you mark the faction. Others may not necessarily recognize you as the enemy and whip them. Generally speaking, no one will force you too much. After all, they are members of Congress. When you decide to stand, you always need to consider your own interests. People will also examine you, whether it is in line with the future interests of their respective party styles, whether it is worth recruiting, or whether it is a matter of later.
The risk of being won into factions is not terrible. The biggest risk is to be alone. No one can try to gain a foothold in Parliament. Some small characters who just entered the House of Commons thought they would jump up and down will soon be lost.
It may be that you are interested in you at first, but then you become indifferent, which means you are even deprived of the qualification to impress others. After the rumors, the unique talents are being fought for and the incompetent people are abandoned.
Impressions are often the most delaying thing... Some people will reach the sky because of their impressions. Some people will never be able to recover from the abyss of purgatory.
Frank is friendly and gives people the impression of practicing.
The five land aerial vehicles arranged to carry the Lin family to a lightning speed to a building that looks a bit old. The houses in this administrative area have a history of hundreds of years, and even the antique wooden floors of the stairs are filled with dust.
The office building where Junzheng Street is located has entered the heart of the capital's politics. From entering this block, it is blocked by black electronic fences and guards. It is less than ten minutes' walk from Junzheng Street, and it is Downing Street.
The core of the House of Commons.
No. 10 Downing Street is the Prime Minister's office. No. 11 is the office of the First Group of the House of Commons at the Minister-level. Go down one by one, and the building at No. 12 is the Prime Minister's Press Office, Policy Liaison Group and Information and Research Group. Secondly, many members of the House of Commons are assigned to the Junzheng Street Office Building across the street.
Lin Wei's office location is almost 100 square meters, but in addition to wallpaper and basic intelligent systems, the furniture layout also needs to be designed by yourself. For example, opening up special office areas and reception places, and how to arrange them is as you wish. After all, as a member of parliament, this place is a one-acre and three-point land that enters the capital's politics, with absolute dominance.
Lin Wei saw through the window and sighed slightly that whether the family purchased a manor in the capital or built a company here, overall, only by owning this acre of land here can he truly have a foothold.
At this moment, the sound of carrying things came from the door. I saw a figure like an aide, leading several confidants to transport a retro piano in.
Frank's voice, who was introducing around, disappeared.
When the staff member entered the door, he obviously saw someone inside stunned for a moment, then frowned, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
Lin Wei and others were also surprised by this scene, and then quickly packed it up. It seemed that the other party had moved the items in the wrong office... Although he thought so, Lin Wei looked at Frank inadvertently. At this moment, the high-ranking member of the "Shangguan" level was only looking out the window, and seemed to turn a blind eye to the scene.
Lin Wei nodded gently and said, "Below is the new member of the House of Commons, Lin Wei, the Earl of Star on the River. He was ordered to come to take office. This Office No. 301 is the administrative office where I received the notice from the Congress."
The staff member was a little wary at first, but when he heard that he was just a fifth-level officer at the lowest level of the Congressional Food Chain, he seemed to be a lot harder, and said calmly, "When is it? Why don't I know... That's because you are late. Two days ago, Senator Chen, had applied for this vacant room for his piano room. You can apply for other vacant rooms." Then he instructed the person at the door to move the piano into the room without saying a word, "Come on, put it here, be careful."
The staff member's tone was calm, but it was this calm that exuded a sense of awesome arrogance. It was the embodiment of a strict system from top to bottom.
He is a confidant of a fourth-level senator in Congress. Although he has no senator status, he has always been difficult to deal with. He can use what a fourth-level senator can do, not just the energy of attending the fifth-level senator. Often, when he meets a confidant of a confidant of a confidant of a confidant of a confidant of a confidant of a confidant of a confidant of a confidant of a confidant of a confidant of a confidant of a confidant of a confidant of a confidant of a confidant of a confidant of a confidant, he must be careful to accompany him and will not offend him easily.
"You should look at our documents..." Lin Nan handed over the text.
The staff member just glanced at it and said, "Re-apply, I can't control this."
Lin Wei said, "Then you should at least show us your usage documents..."
The staff member seemed to be a little angry and frowned, "There are more than a thousand houses here, and there are still many empty ones. Do I have to take those books of life to do it every time? There are still many rooms, you can just apply again."
Lin Weiyi showed a faint anger and obscene expression on his family members. They thought of the strict hierarchy of the capital's political circle, but they did not expect that even a staff member of the Senate would dare to be so mean to him, a member of the House of Commons. The reservation office location was said to be occupied.
If it was reported, Lin Wei encountered this kind of thing on the first day. Everyone was in the parliament where they were eager to work hard to accumulate their prestige and influence. Who would take him seriously? When they could not understand him deeply and could only rely on their first impression to understand him as a new member, wouldn’t it be a major setback? It was like a fall on the stage for the first time. If they wanted to make up for this loss in the future, they had to work hard several times.
Lin Wei didn't know what to do, but Frank, who was eager to be fair, just frowned outside the window and didn't seem to notice this.
Lin Hai suddenly stood up, stopped Lin Wei, who seemed to be about to get angry, and smiled at the other party, "Sir, it seems that we have made a mistake, so let's apply and change another office."
Earl, the family members, even Lin Wei, looked at Lin Hai in disbelief. If it was a misunderstanding, it would be fine. It is clear that the other party cannot provide documents and bullies others and refuses to give in. At this time, it must not retreat, otherwise the Lin family's flag will be difficult to stand up. Lin Hai actually apologized to the other party? What's going on? Isn't it a loss of power? Little do people know how many people are waiting to see their Lin family's style of entering the House of Commons. I don't know if this matter is a test. If it shows weakness, how can we continue to survive in the future?
Lin Hai ignored the shock of his family. After saying these words, Lin Hai smiled at Frank with his back, "Mr. Frank, let's go, it seems that you took us to the wrong room as a guide."
Frank turned around like a whirlwind and looked at Lin Hai. A trace of splendor suddenly appeared in his eyes. However, it was only a short moment before he changed into a peaceful smile. He turned his head to look at the senator's aide and said coldly, "Although the office resources on Junzheng Street are abundant...but it is not your reason to show off your power...get out."
With Frank's words, several men in black dress appeared at the door at some point. They snatched the piano that the staff member moved in, opened the terrace, and smashed it down with a "boom".
Many office windows opened and looked down, everyone was shocked. They looked at the retro piano that was more expensive than a Land Airlines sports car and had become a pool of broken wood on the ground. The most important thing is that there was still a car underneath that was smashed, and no owner ran out to accuse him.
The aide didn't believe that someone was so arrogant and furious. After he realized that the person in front of him was not something he could provoke, he hurriedly went out to escape.
After this sudden episode passed, Frank comforted everyone a few more words, teasing people who use public power and private use everywhere, you must teach them a lesson, and then signaled to wait until Lin Wei completed his job and said goodbye. He made a few gentle and polite words before leaving.
When Frank left, Lin Wei looked at Lin Hai with some insight, "This person is very cunning."
Everyone in the Lin family was old nobles. After scheming, they were blinded for a while before, and then they calmed down and came up with problems.
Lin Nan nodded, "Maybe it was the bureau he set up. As the "supervisor" of the House of Commons, even if he is an aide who is not open to his eyes, even if he stands by the window with his back on his back, the chance of not being recognized is too small. And we are provoked and the possibility of not fighting back is too small... He seems to be waiting for us to fight back and then go with the flow. In this way, it means we borrow his "power", and it is equivalent to declaring to the House of Commons that we are his people."
Lin Wei glanced at Lin Hai, "What he didn't expect was that Lin Hai actually chose to retreat, and took the initiative to reveal his identity and threw him out. He even attributed the mistake of bringing the wrong room to him. If he didn't have an attack at this time, it would seem his problem."
"However, no matter what, his move has achieved more or less the results he wants. At least he can throw out the smoke screen and target, maybe someone will really regard us as his party members. It seems that it is really difficult to protect yourself..."
Lin Wei nodded in contemplation, "I don't know who Frank's opponent in parliament is... But seeing how he acts, his opponent will not be a fuel-efficient lamp. Next, we must act more carefully."
On this first day, the Lin family truly felt the maneuver and strictness of the capital's star circle political fame and fortune circle.
Everyone looked at Lin Hai again. They were almost blinded by Frank before, but only Lin Hai saw through it at one glance.
"He could have continued to pretend to be a gentle and gentle person, but this mask was exposed by you..." Lin Wei pondered, "Be careful, he will put you on the list of key "care"."
