Chapter 538 (1/2)
in a hemispherical building standing in the equator of the moon, thousands of square meters of hall are illuminated by the ceiling with soft white light, and the tables and chairs in the hall are arranged in a semi arc with a wall as the midpoint.
On the platform under the wall, a 1.5-meter-high platform is facing the row of seats arranged in an arc.
In addition to a few microphones, the podium was filled with flags of various groups of the Republic and the flag of the government of the Republic.
Now, the seats under the stage are full of dark people. Members from the colonies of mercury, Venus, Bluestar, moon, Mars and Europa are sitting in a critical position, waiting for Tang's speech.
Perhaps the citizens of the outside world are not very clear about the political structure of the Republic, and they think that the Republic is controlled by the Parliament and the president, but these senior politicians know who is the master of the Republic.
”Good evening, members.”
Tang patted the microphone and continued, ”today's meeting is held because I want to announce something.”
”After a lot of careful consideration, I decided to separate black mask international from the army of the Republic and no longer belong to the army of the Republic! The army of the Republic belongs to the government of the Republic! Listen directly to the dispatch of the government of the Republic! ” As soon as Tang Shizhe's voice fell, members of the Council below began to whisper.
Everyone is very puzzled. Why is Tang Shizhe willing to hand over the army of the Republic? Is it not obvious that the general power is handed over to others? What is the purpose of his doing so?
”Quiet!” Tang Shizhe patted the table and suddenly the room became silent.
”Of course, the army directly under the government of the Republic is not expanding unconditionally. We have set a limit for it, that is, the number of warships that the Republic government can own if the number of citizens in the Republic is divided by 100 million, and the number multiplied by 1000 is the number of soldiers that the Republic can have!”
”This force will only be responsible for the diplomacy of the Republic, the safety of the exploration ships, and the security of the colonies in the Republic!”
”In any case, this force is not allowed to fire the first shot. In addition, this force can not develop and equip weapons of mass destruction! This is a peaceful force! ” Tang Shizhe said solemnly to the crowd that he must make everyone realize that this is the belief that the Republic Army must abide by.
”You must be curious about how the original military black mask international of our republic dealt with it?”
”Black mask international will become a trans galactic star company, and we will move its headquarters into the market planetary system, making it a military company independent of the Republic, preparing for our next step.” Tang Shizhe's words left people confused. What is preparation for the next step?
Moreover, the thousands of warships owned by black mask international are the most powerful armed force of the Republic. Without the protection of this force, the Republic will be in danger!
”Of course, the government of the Republic can sign an employment agreement with black mask international to let the fleet of black mask international protect the territory of the Republic!” Tang Shizhe smiles.
At this time, some smart people have already guessed Tang's intention.
That is, when there is war outside, black mask international can participate in the wars of those civilizations as mercenaries, and the Republic will not bear any bad reputation for it.
As for the army directly under the government of the Republic announced by Tang Shizhe, there is no doubt that it is just a vase for the outside world. According to the current population of the Republic, what role can hundreds of warships play? Hold on, that is to protect the orbit of the blue star.
