Chapter 690: Political wisdom
"...The following is a report from the special correspondent of'Southern Voices Radio Station' stationed in'The Hague Fort'... Regarding the storm'Seaweed' hitting the southern coast, Duchess Arrietty, Secretary-General of the House of Representatives, the representative speaker, Gave an official speech..."
"For the heavy casualties caused by the flood, Her Excellency the Duchess expressed her deep condolences... The Duchess stated that after a long-distance communication with the Speaker, the Speaker ordered the Ministry of Finance of the Republic to allocate 500,000 Kinnars for special disaster relief funds. , Entrusting the Haichao Chamber of Commerce to assist the victims..."
In the military port of Tututat City, Iggos was sitting in a naval cafeteria, slowly enjoying a hearty breakfast, while his ears listened carefully to the "Morning News Broadcast" program on the radio.
In recent years, with the rapid progress of magic technology, a large number of magical runes and magic equipment have gradually spread to the entire society, and profoundly changed the way of life of ordinary people.
This practice of listening to the news while having a meal would be unimaginable for ordinary people if it were placed two years ago.
Not to mention the latest news from 2 days ago.
In the past, due to the limitation of space distance and backward communication methods, the speed of news dissemination was ridiculously slow.
It is quite normal for a major event like this to be known to a small number of people in other places after more than half a month.
The vast majority of low-level civilians will never even know about this.
But today, the barriers that hinder the rapid flow of information have been completely broken.
Any news that has been reported by the radio station will be spread to everyone on the same day, and women and children in the streets will discuss these matters.
"...So far, this huge flood that has affected the entire southern coastal area has caused more than 8,000 deaths and injuries, as well as the displacement of more than 300,000 people...
"According to the statistics of meteorological experts, in the history of the Republic in the past 100 years, the storm'Nori' is the most powerful storm that has landed in the south. In terms of destructive power and casualties, no storm can compare to'Nori'... "
"Furthermore, in the speech of the House of Assembly, Her Excellency the Duchess specifically condemned the Viscount Hilton of the'Southwestern Province'... After the great flood, a battleship of the Southern Fleet tried to rescue the victims in the town of Hilton..."
"However, not only did Viscount Hilton refuse to cooperate, he also tried his best to hinder the actions of the Southern Fleet in an attempt to stop the brave and fearless navy and rescue the victims..."
"In this regard, the Duchess thinks this is a very shameful behavior. Viscount Hilton is an extremely selfish and indifferent nobleman who has no sympathy for common people..."
"The Duchess also believes that Viscount Hilton's actions seriously violate the "Innate Human Rights" bill. She has obtained the consent of the Speaker of the House. A special meeting will be held in the near future to discuss the punishment of Viscount Hilton..."
Igos knew that Duchess Alrietty was essentially the spokesperson of the lord, and being targeted by the duchess Alrietty meant being targeted by the lord.
There is no doubt that a case in the past two years shows that Mr. Viscount’s end will not be too good, and the “exile” is almost a certainty.
As the person involved in the rescue operation, he hated Mr. Viscount's ugly face, and was delighted to hear and hear the ending of this guy.
"Huh." Igos smiled happily, "Deserve it!"
"Kaka..." Lieutenant Andras took a bite of the fried dough sticks, and said vaguely, "Hey, I like fried dough sticks. It is said that this is also one of the delicacies invented by the great lord."
He chewed a few times, swallowed the food, and continued:
"If I'm right, this should be a series of combo punches of Lord Lord."
"The Title Donation Act is the first step, and the "Innate Human Rights" is the second step... I think Viscount Hilton is the "sacrifice" chosen by the lord to warn the nobility."
"Well, the "Knightship Donation Act" was just promulgated last month and has not been officially implemented. I feel that Lord Lord may use this matter to formally implement this bill..."
"The thoughts of the big guys are really too complicated..." Igos shook his head, sighed uncontrollably, and started to listen to the radio again.
"...It is reported that the President of the Haichao Chamber of Commerce, Your Excellency Goode, has pledged to donate 200,000 Kinnars and various disaster relief materials worth 300,000 Kinnars to the victims of the flood disaster..."
"The Duchess Arrietty, Secretary-General of the House of Assembly, will hold a fundraising event this afternoon and call on the nobles and businessmen to donate generously and contribute to the civilians in the disaster area..."
"Your Excellency the Duchess stated that the Lord Speaker made a special instruction that non-aristocratic donors with the top 10 donations will be awarded the title of ‘Honorary Baron’..."
"Awesome!"
Lieutenant Andras couldn't help but patted the dining table, admiringly praised.
"What's so great?"
Igos looked at his companion blankly, with an unclear look.
"Hey." Lieutenant Andras explained cheerfully, "Although the "Knightship Donation Act" was passed, it seriously violated the interests of the nobility, so they will definitely unite and resist the implementation of the "Act"."
"However, the political wisdom of the Lord Lord is really amazing...Through the'fundraising campaign', no aristocratic congressman dared to oppose the award of knighthood under such circumstances, otherwise it will attract a wave of criticism...The first batch After the title is successfully awarded, the follow-up will become a routine."
"Tsk tsk, it's really amazing... The'fundraising campaign' is really a magical stroke. It not only raised funds, but also completely cleared the obstacles for the implementation of the Act... I guess it must also be Lord Lord's idea..."
Iggos suddenly felt that he was like a completely mentally handicapped.
After hearing the lieutenant's explanation, he realized that behind the seemingly ordinary things in the news broadcast, there is such an amazing wisdom hidden behind.
Igors reached out and picked up another fried dough stick, and sighed again:
"Mr. Lieutenant, you can understand the deep meaning of the news, it is already very remarkable... Ordinary people like me can't see it at all."
"I think you have the potential to be in politics. Anyway, there is the "Knightship Donation Act". As long as you donate 300 kinnals in exchange for the title of Lord of Honor, you will be eligible to run for Congress..."
"Come on." Lieutenant Andras curled his lips. "I know myself that political games are not something I can play with."
"Oh!" Igos asked suspiciously, "Mr. Lieutenant, are you underestimating yourself?"
"Of course not." Lieutenant Andras took a bite of the fritters and replied, "For example, if'see the purpose of the fundraiser' and the difficulty is 1, then'think of the fundraiser', the difficulty is At least as many as 100."
"On political wisdom, I don't deserve to give shoes to the lord... Maybe I know more than ordinary people, but this is not enough to make me stand in the political circle."
"Besides, 300 kinnals are too much, how can I afford this money?"
He swallowed the fritters in a few mouthfuls, patted his palms, and said:
"Well, Mr. Iggos... After breakfast, we have to go to the'Long-eared Squirrel Breeding Base' set up by the Army Logistics Department outside Tututat... I hope we can find the squirrels smoothly. The reason for demonization..."
