C2354 The Confusion of Congress (1/2)
Benjamin's hat was on his head, but a strand of silver hair stood out unobediently from his temples, just like his stubborn personality.
His eyes were firm, his expression was firm, and his entire body was brimming with righteousness. The onlookers were all moved.
Who would God bless? Was it Gladstone or Benjamin? Who exactly represented the true national fortunes of Britain? Everyone present had questions in their hearts, but there was no doubt that this debate was not only a change of rights between the two parties, he was also related to the future adjustment of the British Empire's national policy.
With the British Empire's economy, once the national policy was adjusted, it was not a small matter. Countless industries might decline or rise, and countless citizens might lose their jobs or make a comeback. There were even countless small countries affected by the British Empire that would die or soar into the sky as a result of the London policy change.
This debate was more important than a war because it concerned the interests of countless people.
When Benjamin walked into the House of Commons, the parliament that was already in an uproar immediately burst into cheers. Tory Party and some of the colonialist s all stood up and clapped with all their might.
”Disraeli... Victory... Disraeli... ”Victory …” Disraeli was Benjamin's surname, and his supporters used this intimate form of address to express their support for him.
There were even paintings of Palmerston, who had taken over First Opium War, Clive, who had invaded India with all his might, and there was even King Ke Lunweier who had protected him.
These were all the famous representatives of the colonialist. The war they had started had truly changed Britain's national destiny and brought countless benefits to the British Empire.
Sitting on the seat, Gladstone's face was gloomy, because he had already seen that those who supported Benjamin were not from his group of Tory Party, but there were actually many other Whig Party members among them.
Tory Party and Whig Party were originally the two oldest political parties in Britain. Although they clashed continuously, they had experienced the whole process of Britain's rise.
In some of the big policies, they were real profiteers, especially colonialism. These politicians had been eating the economic dividends of the colonies since their ancestors, and they had grown so powerful over the centuries.
”Benjamin, you are also a troublesome opponent! I didn't expect you to unite the forces of both parties and turn a impeachment against you into an attack against colonialism. You are trying to confuse the concept! ”
”But it doesn't matter. I have a set policy of restraining you people anyway!”
Liberal Party and the rest were suppressed by the pressure, but they were not willing to be outdone. Solo... militaristic militarism... ”Lame …”
The two factions in the House of Commons were suddenly in an uproar. Some of the members of the House of Commons even rushed through the police cordon and entered the 2.5-meter split area, where they pushed each other face to face.
This was also the reason behind the Capitol Building's ban on carrying weapons. Back in the Middle Ages, councilors allowed people to wield swords. At that time, they would just pull out their swords and fight, forcing the council to set up a 2.5 metre security zone.
Now, of course, pistols were widely used, and it was illegal to carry weapons in order to prevent the agitated members of parliament from shooting each other.
