Chapter 2155

Ask a 16-year-old teenager who has received a happy education, how to view the collision between geopolitics from a macro level.

This is a bit embarrassing.

Even a university professor who specializes in these things may not be able to give an answer quickly, not to mention that the young president is only 16 years old.

But then again, the federal people's concept of "adulthood" is very vague, just like 16 years old can get married, have children, and even go to the battlefield.

The people of the Commonwealth and the whole world actually have a vague concept of "adulthood". When they think that a person should take on some responsibilities, that person becomes an adult overnight.

Fortunately, the young president has Lynch behind him, and Lynch is sitting in the gallery.

This is the first time he is sitting in the amphitheater of the Senate of Congress. This place is sacred to some people, and others are usually not allowed to enter.

Just like His Majesty's scepter, many people think that His Majesty's scepter has incredible magical powers, such as manipulating people's behavior and thoughts.

But when they really touched the scepter, they would find that it was actually a golden bump made of precious metals and gems.

The core of power, in the eyes of the people, has a mysterious color, which is also a situation that rulers must maintain.

Because once the core of power is not so mysterious, people will lose awe of power.

The current Congress is still a mystery, at least journalists will not be allowed to film here. Maybe this kind of mystery will be destroyed by taxpayers for various reasons in a few years.

But for now, it remains mysterious—

Although Congress has no secrets!

The little president glanced at Lynch, who gave him a positive look. Then the little president took a deep breath and said slowly:
"Before the federal government intervened in Mariro's affairs, Mariro was ruled by warlords, and military conflicts of all sizes broke out every day."

"The most basic living conditions for ordinary people are not guaranteed. It's like a hell there."

"Now it's much better, the warlords are gone, and people can lay down their arms and go back to their lives without having to worry about when a bunch of people come into their homes with guns."

"The federal government has made many outstanding contributions to the peaceful development of the Maliro area. I believe this is the common wish of all people who yearn for peace!"

After listening, the speaker exchanged a few words with the person next to him in a low voice, then pressed the microphone again, "Your answer is sincere, but you did not answer my question."

"What do you think of the fact that the federal government is now trying to control and transform Marillo?"

The little president still had that calm and docile look, "I can't do that."

"My grandfather and father didn't do that either. Although they worked hard, they still couldn't change the country and the situation at that time."

"I don't think I'm greater or more capable than them, and I can't do the same."

"It is a good thing for the people of Mariro that the Federation strengthens its management of Mariro."

"I approve of such an approach!"

The discussion sounded again, and he answered the speaker's question positively.

Such hearings are actually very serious, and you must answer positively to some questions.

Just like someone asks you if you like a certain girl, and you only say that she is beautiful and has a good figure, but don't answer whether you like her or not, this is definitely not okay.

A question is a question, and if there is a question, there is a standard answer within a relative range.

The little president was not so nervous at this time, and his clenched hands relaxed naturally.

The sweat on his palms was evaporating, and he suddenly wanted to smoke, "Can I have a cigarette?"

The speaker froze for a moment, then said, "Of course, this is your right, please go ahead."

Under the gold and yuan offensive of the tobacco group, the medical group did not announce the harm of cigarettes, and people did not have too negative views on smoking.

In fact, it is relatively normal for teenagers to start smoking in many rural areas, especially in tobacco-rich areas and the west, where raw materials are everywhere, and no one can stop human curiosity!
The little president lit a cigarette and took a puff, his nerves became more relaxed.

Soon the discussions among the MPs were over, and the Speaker raised a second question——

"What would you do if the subsequent transformation of Mariro would harm the interests of the upper-middle class, even the ruling class, who are currently mainstream in Mariro?"

A sharper, tougher question.

The closed-door Senate hearing has never been a small fight in front of the media. It is related to many issues in the two regions in the future.

One carelessness may trigger unnecessary military conflicts.

Marillo is a more difficult problem. On the one hand, during the long-term warlord regime, the people's definition of life is different from that of the Federation.

In the past few years, they went south to plunder, steal, and even kill people. It can be seen that their sense of right and wrong is very weak.

A non-unified Mariello is indeed in the interests of the Federation, but if it is unified or not, it will start to hurt the interests of the Federation.

The only thing is to completely annex it and transform it into what you want.

This is a very serious question.

The little president is currently the superficial "righteousness" of Mariro, and his decision will greatly affect the series of follow-up measures of the Federation.

If he opposes this, there will naturally be a group of former interest groups who are unwilling to merge with the Federation to stand up and resist such an annexation.

If he agrees with the Federation's approach, he can greatly reduce the conflict that may break out in the process of annexing Marillo.

So the question is not only sharp, but tough.

They first told the little president, I'm going to break into your house and take over your house, and then they asked him what would you do if it was necessary to kick you out, or take away your rights?
If it is an ordinary person, they may not answer or get angry about it, and the federal people are just like robbers!
No, robbers are obedient citizens before the federal government. If "evil" is to be used to redefine "bad" in this world, then the federation is in one category, and other countries and people are in another category.

Although the little president was mentally prepared, this question still made him feel a bit...too much.

Fortunately, Lynch had discussed this with him in depth, and he knew that sometimes only by giving up certain things can life be easy.

He took a breath and exhaled it downwards. The smoke lingered on his chest and slowly floated upwards.

"I am not very old, and my understanding of the world is limited, but I know that personal interests are always lower than collective interests."

"If sacrificing a few people can bring about a continuous happy life for the entire Mariro people, I think these sacrifices are necessary and worthwhile!"

The speaker and other congressmen were surprised by the little president's answer, and the team leader couldn't help asking, "Including yourself?"

And this question is what everyone else wants to ask.

The little president threw the cigarette on the ground, lowered his head and crushed it with his feet, then raised his head and said with a smile, "Including myself!"

The discussion sounded louder again, and the discussion lasted longer. Lynch sat in the public gallery and looked at the little president, nodding his head slightly.

These words were all taught by Lynch, and the little president also added some content himself, but on the whole, while not deviating from the core idea, he also took into account the little president's own style.

Very good answer.

After the five-six-minute discussion ended, the speaker asked the third question——

"If we need your strength in the process of transforming Mariro, are you willing to contribute your strength?"

The little president became more natural, and even had a little smile on his face.

He didn't even notice it himself, he was learning, imitating Lynch.

From his body, Lynch saw the shadow of another person, the little earl.

For a while, the little count imitated his every move obsessively, including his smile, sitting posture, standing posture, and tone of voice.

This is an unconscious behavior, and the purpose of this behavior is only an imitation produced by admiration for the strong.

In their minds, Lynch is the strongest, so naturally their behavior and habits will move closer to the strong.

He nodded, very free and easy, "Of course, this is what my grandfather, my father, including the so-called 'Presidential Family' have been trying to do."

"We never wanted power, we just wanted peace..."

The hearing lasted for more than an hour, with a 15-minute break.

From the sharp questions at the beginning to the gradually looser questions later, the young president could clearly feel that after he expressed his intentions, the federal government let go of its guard against him.

This is also the purpose of the Congress. Only when the young president is willing to cooperate with the Federation can the follow-up matters be carried out.

After Lynch sent the little president back, he also returned to his home.

Later, Senator Langdon called Lynch and told him that the Senate would go through another formality before launching the proposal.

If there are no accidents, it will be approved in December, and the presidential palace can cooperate with submitting the candidate list in January.

It is customary for the list of newly established regional rulers to be provided by the Federal Presidential Palace before being elected by the local people.

And the federal president is also his own...

This is the advantage of having many friends. There are friends everywhere, and everyone is a friend, so no one will embarrass yourself!

The next day, Lynch went to see the young president again. He had to tell the young president his "test scores", which were related to his future safety and other issues.

It was his wife who opened the door. She lowered her head, and Lynch frowned slightly.

After entering the porch and closing the door, he asked the little president's wife to look up and found that her face was bruised.

Obviously, it was definitely not caused by wrestling. She was hit in the face, which was unprecedented in the past.

It can be seen that although the little president is very free and easy, and is decisive enough when giving up his rights, he must still be somewhat dissatisfied in his heart.

Young people have not learned to release themselves, unlike adults, who can easily let go of those negative emotions and comfort themselves.

Even though he wasn't that enthusiastic about Mariro's power, and was so eager for it, he still felt sulky.

If you feel uncomfortable, vent!
