Chapter 1904 The Last Day

Everyone's eyes stayed on His Majesty's face, and they could all see that His Majesty's expression had changed.

Everyone felt as if a cat was scratching their heads. They wished they could walk up to the steps, snatch the document from His Majesty's hand, and take a good look at what was written on it!
But no one dared to do that, they knew that when they needed to know, His Majesty the Emperor would tell them!
His Majesty the Emperor put the things back into the document bag and began to deal with the country's government affairs.

Peng Jieao's location is not that far north. Although it can freeze people to death, it is still far away from the extreme freeze.

The surrounding dependent countries have not had a good winter this year. They lack supplies and money and have many problems to solve.

Food, keeping warm, keeping warm, relief food...

There will definitely be many people buried under heavy snow forever this winter!
As the suzerain country, Peng Jieao is also very suffering and troubled. Those countries keep asking them for various supplies and countless funds. These are annoying things.

The domestic situation is not so good, the conflict between the rich and the poor, and class conflicts all require him to expend energy to deal with them!

It's been a long time since the work was done.

He let the others leave except the minister who handed him the confidential document, and summoned him to his study.

After the door was closed tightly, His Majesty the Emperor asked directly, "Where did the caution come from?"

The minister hesitated, "I have connections with some people from the Federation."

His hesitation convinced His Majesty the Emperor of his explanation. He actually had his own channel, but his channel was not as deep and thorough as the minister's channel.

He didn't speak, and focused on the document again.

According to the document, the relationship between the federal president and the capitalists has been deteriorating with the centralization of the presidential palace, and even mutual phenomena have appeared.

If Penteio can press the end button for this war now, the centralization of the presidential palace will soon end, and the Congress will start to operate again.

Those capitalists will impeach their president immediately. As long as the president who dares to go to war is impeached, Penteo will be able to get something they want!
Time to recuperate, to preserve the industrial system more completely, and to ensure the correct independence of the country!
At the same time, the document states that those capitalists are willing to provide the Penteo government with a low-interest loan and some technology when necessary to help them return to their pre-war levels as soon as possible.

To be honest, His Majesty the Emperor is a little tempted.

He is not a fool.

The Federation not only reached Penteo's homeland, but also established a solid base and prepared for a long-term military confrontation.

Under such circumstances, even if Peng Jieao's army can restrict the continued expansion of the Federation, it will be Peng Jieao's loss!

When the flames of war reached the mainland, they had already lost.

To not admit it until now is nothing more than trying to save face.

So he never thought that they could still drive out the federal people, occupy the entire territory of Nagalil, and threaten the federal mainland.

Take these words to those fanatical young people, and there is no problem in getting them to actively enlist in the army, but it is too difficult to convince His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire.

Maybe this is a good opportunity.

His Majesty's thinking speed was very fast, and he immediately made a decision, "Let them send someone, someone who can make the decision, we need to have a detailed and specific talk."

The minister left quickly, knowing full well that he would be watched for submitting the document himself.

It is a bit taboo in itself to be able to contact the forces of the Federation at this time.

But he doesn't care, because facts and history will prove that he is absolutely loyal to the empire!

Then His Majesty the Emperor issued a series of orders, and a large number of military troops were mobilized to the front.

While he was ready to negotiate, he was also ready to continue the war.

If there is no agreement this time, then use the ever-increasing death toll to force the federal people back to the negotiating table!
At the end of December, without knowing where it started, some media and social activists in the federal government actually launched a "bring the children home" campaign.

To put it simply, this activity is to allow soldiers who are fighting outside to return home to rest.

There is no war in winter, no matter which battlefield it is, everyone is very restrained.

Since no high-intensity war broke out, why not let those children who are far away from the Federation and their relatives come back and spend the winter with their families?

To be honest, describing this kind of activity as stupid is a redefinition of the word "stupid", but what the Federation lacks most is stupid people who can't think!

With Chinese New Year approaching and the war already going on for a long time, many families did start to miss those soldiers, and the event quickly spread.

The closer to the end of the year, the more suddenly some things came together like a sudden explosion.

Hicks agreed to Lynch's invitation. Considering the daily work, Congress temporarily relieved the arrested people from their positions, allowing Hicks and the old man's nephew to become new senators.

There is little that will stand in the way of these two entering the Senate.

The old man is the chairman of the former Progressive Party Committee. He and Mr. Truman are not in the same group, and the relationship can't be said to be very good. It can only be said to be business-like.

Hicks is a member of the Conservative Party, and he has no close relationship with the president. People don't have to make things difficult for Hicks for a role that has nothing to do with the president.

Not to mention that the two presidents of the Progressive Party will have a combined 14-year term, and the number of seats has already lost to the Progressive Party.

Now that he has the opportunity to increase his Senate seats, the Conservative Party is also making efforts along the way.

So far, Lynch has recruited five senators. As far as the current 34 federal senators are concerned, his people account for one-seventh!

Mr. Truman's idea of ​​the "Children's Act Amendment Act" has not yet been implemented. Lynch gave him some new inspirations, and he must solve new problems that may be brought about by the Amendment Act.

At the very least, it is necessary to ensure that these children will not be harmed by their families or institutions after they become child laborers.

Those capitalists seem to have stopped, and the entire Federation is in a subtle, lazy state.

Except for the ones shouting to get the kids back!
And... Lynch!
Lynch is busy, always on the go.

On the morning of the 26th, he brought Landa to meet Joanna.

Mr. Truman is undoubtedly a qualified politician, just as some people are now manipulating public opinion to deal with him, he also knows how to manipulate public opinion.

Among the affiliated institutions of women's rights organizations, there are donation and rescue projects specifically aimed at young people, including children and young children.

If the feminist organization is simply to safeguard the rights and interests of women, then it will inevitably violate the value of its existence.

In addition to not helping adult men, teenagers and boys are all within the scope of their help.

In addition, feminist organizations have been in operation for so many years, and they have been divided and combined, and they have enough influence.

Mr Truman decided to work through charities before pushing the Children's Law Amendment Bill himself.

Landa is a good partner, and the person sent by the presidential palace is Joanna.

She is also considered a philanthropist now, holding a charitable foundation in her hands. The two of them will cooperate, or join more people, to expose a series of issues of child labor to the society.

When the society sparks heated discussions, the Presidential Palace will have enough emotional foreshadowing to promote the implementation of the amendment bill, and everyone will be more accepting.

Landa was very interested in this cooperation. She didn't really think it was a good deal, she just wanted to get on the line of the Presidential Palace.

Lynch provided them with some clues and arranged some opportunities.

Mr. Truman is very good at taking advantage of these opportunities, and the growing momentum of the "Bringing the Children Home" movement is just right to take advantage of it.

After the evening news on the [-]th, "Commonwealth Television" played a documentary-like film.

In this film, the reporter used a camera to record in detail the dark side of society that people cannot see.

The news about the cruel exploitation of child labor has become a hot topic in the society in an instant, and no one even discusses "letting the children go home" for the time being!
On the 31st, Lynch invited Sierra to celebrate the New Year together.

Sierra couldn't help asking this question at dinner that night.

"Are they really that cruel?" Sera couldn't believe it.

She is not the kind of woman who was born in the clouds, she used to live at the bottom of society.

But even so, she had never heard of those terrible things, let alone witnessed the torture those children were suffering!
In the short film, there is a scene that is difficult to describe in words.

Some ten-year-old children sit on the edge of the assembly line and work intensively. They need to work at least six hours a day, which has actually exceeded the bottom line allowed by the "Children's Law".

What's even more frightening is that this is a factory related to chemical industry. Most of the children's fingers and palms were festered.

Many children's nails are blackened or directly pulled out due to the damage of toxic chemicals.

They still have to sit on the edge of the assembly line, doing work that shouldn't belong to them for a salary of five yuan and 75 cents a day.

Some of the children would cry, and someone would beat them until they learned the rules of the factory.

A large number of cruel pictures from the front line directly hit people's hearts!

Many people directly petitioned the local government to strictly investigate such terrible child labor factories!

Sierra watched it too, and she too was greatly shocked.

When people's life becomes rich, some insignificant kindness and love will begin to breed.

Lynch nodded, "There are many scenes that are scarier than these, and those are not suitable for broadcasting on TV."

"But the good news is that the issue of child labor is getting attention."

"I'm sure it's going to get better soon!"
