Chapter 586 (1/2)
Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and the meeting was back in darkness. But then, in the area of the Senate area and the speaker's desk, the light source on the zenith lights up this area. Oglock gave a dry cough and said, ”well, it's time. Members must have a clear idea. What's next. As for the declaration of war on the hall of heroes, please choose carefully. I have adopted this issue in my own name. ”
When he took a picture on the table, a number ”2” immediately popped up on the four light screens above the speaker.
A total of 24 votes were cast for members and two for the speaker. The total number of votes is 26. When an issue gets two-thirds of the votes, it is considered to be passed. There are three buttons on the speaker's desk and the members' desk. They are red, green and gray. Red means negation, green means approval, and gray means abstention.
After speaker oglock made his choice, other members also patted the buttons on the table. For a time, the green light flashed continuously, while the numbers on the light screen kept beating. No member will object to this event. Because the speaker proposed to declare war on the hall of heroes, and he was the first to vote, which represents the speaker's will. The congressmen are not stupid enough to vote against it. It's like voting against oglock. Therefore, although two of them really did not want to fight this war, they just abstained from voting, but did not dare to vote against it.
But when he got to Leo, the ruler of the ogudus family pressed the ”no” button, so a bright red ”1” appeared on the light screen.
It's all quiet.
So the vote is over, and the declaration of war is passed 24-to-1. But oglock still looked at Leo and asked, ”old friend, may I ask why you voted no?”
A hundred pairs of eyes fell on Leo immediately, and even lein, who was always loose, began to worry about his father's sudden move. However, Leo did not see any confusion. He stood up, calmly faced the old man standing at the top of power on the speaker's stage, and said with a loud smile: ”old friend, what I oppose is not this issue, but that such a meeting is not necessary at all. If it's your old temper, now it's over, where will you hold a meeting here? ”
Oglock's expression from the original solemn, to the corner of the mouth gradually pull a smile, Leo's words do evoke his memories.
That era of war!
”This war is not only about fighting, but also fighting well. My family is willing to fight an outpost for the Council because I can't wait to meet my old friend Leo's face was full of smile, but his eyes were burning like fire.
His words awakened the memory of some old people present, while the young people did not know what they were referring to. In the audience, an old man with gray hair, facing the younger generation's inquiry, sighed: ”that man of the ogudus family, in those war years, was a fierce general known as the golden lion. And his old enemy is kario, the Iron Tiger of the hall of heroes. There was a battle between them, and that war has now become a model for you to learn. If I remember correctly, do you call it the hundred day war? ”
All the young people who heard these words were shocked. Then they felt inexplicable and looked at the figure standing tall in the district. The hundred day war is one of the numerous battles that broke out between the dark Council and the hall of souls on that day. In this war, Leo and his family guards were ordered to garrison a city, but they were attacked by the hall of souls. After being cut off all the way back and all the resources supply by the spirit hall, Leo persisted for three months. During this period, the troops of the hall of heroes were forced to stay there for a long time, which provided valuable buffer time for the parliament.
At last, the parliament reinforcements arrived, and the hall of heroes came back in vain. As for the Augustus family, natural losses were heavy. When the reinforcements arrived, only ten people, including Leo, survived. Since the first World War, Leo's bravery and tenacity have also earned him the reputation of golden lion. But after the war, Leo devoted himself to family management and gradually faded out of the circle of Parliament. So the younger generation hardly knew that he was the golden lion. After all, there was no mention of Leo's name in the tactical book.
When the dark Council began to mobilize for the war, asgat, far away in the Julian mountains, also received information about the dark Council's action 20 hours later.
In Douglas's office on the top floor of the twelve main halls in asgat, carlio was puffing his cigar. A moment later, he put out his cigar in the ashtray, clapped his hands and said angrily, ”ridiculous! When did we send troops to attack the city called the shadow capital? I'm sure that's what OLO did himself
Ben Douglas touched his nose and said with a smile, ”don't be angry, my old friend. We all know Ogg's means very well. What he did was to find an excuse for himself to send troops. ”Carlio nodded, frowned and said, ”but when did that old thing become hand bound and foot bound? If he had been fighting directly before, how could he use so many tricks?”
”Because it's different. The current parliamentary structure is much larger than before. Just like our asgat, soldiers alone can't support a city. The same is true of the city of eternal night in Parliament. Ogg has to consider the feelings of others. Of course, if he orders, the dark Council will still operate, but how many people are willing to fight this war at that time is not known Ben said with a smile: ”on the contrary, if you put your will under the banner of righteousness, and add some sweetness, those old people who are not willing to be lonely will naturally be willing to do so.”
