Since the end of the world is approaching, the number of congressional meetings has increased visibly.

In the past, it was once a month or two, including regular meetings.

Now basically every one to two weeks, a meeting will be held to discuss various things.

People are also used to seeing things about congressional meetings on the evening news.

In the past, they were very concerned about what was said in congressional meetings, how it related to them, and whether it would affect their lives. They desperately hoped to get accurate information as soon as possible.

Now they can get the most accurate and timely news that night, but the people don't seem to care that much.

In fact, many times people don't care about "what's in the box", but want to get an attitude, an attitude that "nothing is hidden from themselves"!

If you really let them watch this news every day, they will probably change the channel immediately and watch the shitty content instead of serious current affairs news.

Damn it, they just want to hear people talk about how bad the world is. They just want to watch TV series to relax their body and work from a long day, and then dream about their life after they have money in their sleep.

It was another additional meeting. More than 60 people from the Senate's 40 members came, and some people were at work.

The work of members of Congress is actually quite busy, especially the Senate.

They have a high degree of intervention in the federal political system. As long as they want to interfere in the affairs of various departments, they have a way to intervene, including the presidential office!
Catherine rubbed her forehead and sat in her seat in the first row. Lynch and her original idea was for her to sit on the left side of the main aisle in the third row.

This position is not too conspicuous and has enough status, but Congress believes that Catherine is the only female member of Congress at present, so it gave her some privileges and let her sit in the front row.

A very eye-catching and conspicuous position will receive a lot of attention, and there will also be pressure behind the attention.

She didn't sleep well last night and worked on her work until late at night. On the surface, there was nothing too disturbing about building a warehouse.

But there are many things that need to be paid attention to in actual work. At the same time, her job is not just that, she also takes on the work responsibilities within the committee.

As the entire federation enters a "preparation period," more and more work is emerging, and the entire committee is under great pressure.

"Today's first topic is about the federal army."

"As the country's most powerful violent institution, the military has always been treated with great caution, but with the advent of the shelter era, war may be largely removed from human civilization."

"So now we have a question of whether we need to retain the military and how to accommodate those people when the shelter era comes."

The speaker glanced at the document in his hand, and then at a member of the council, "This issue comes from... Sir, let him tell you the rest."

The Speaker didn't want to say it, because the next content would definitely offend people. As the boss of the Senate, he was reluctant to take the lead in such matters.

The named senator began to introduce his ideas with an indifferent expression. Of course, he first wanted to thank the Speaker and the Senate. This was a matter of process.

You don't have to do this or say this, and others won't think you are rude.

But if you want your issue to get the results you want, it's best to be polite.

A polite person will not be disliked even if he is disliked!

"We all know that war is about to become a unique term in history, rather than a state or a future."

"Currently, the entire federation has a total of 44 military personnel currently serving, as well as some non-staff personnel who serve the military but are not military personnel."

"When war no longer enters our lives, how to resettle these more than 50 people will become a problem!"

"They are proficient in various deadly killing techniques and are potentially dangerous and may disrupt social order."

"Based on what I collected from some past files on military crimes, I came to a conclusion that I don't want to admit."

"The crimes committed by military criminals are far more serious and troublesome than those committed by ordinary criminals!"

"They are not only proficient in killing techniques, but also have various superb military operations experience and anti-reconnaissance capabilities. While they can easily cause huge damage, they are also not easy to be caught."

"Of course I am referring to criminals with military backgrounds here, and I am not blaming the military community."

"So I think how to place them should be something we pay attention to."

"At the same time, our military expenditures are also very large. The military budget submitted by each military region this year totals approximately 76 billion federal soles." "This is the military budget after cuts. In the next ten to 15 years, the military budget will be The budget will reach 1000 billion federal soles."

"And this 1000 billion federal military expenditure is enough for us to build two more large shelters."

"But now it can only be used to maintain the military's personnel salaries and daily expenses. At the same time, it cannot bring us any positive effects..."

This is a very complicated arithmetic problem. The current salary of federal military personnel is slightly better than that of ordinary workers, about 620 yuan.

But in fact, the cost spent on these soldiers every month is not just wages.

There are also their meals, ammunition for shooting during training, and various daily losses and expenses. After the reduction, each soldier will spend an average of about 680 to 700 yuan per month.
If there were additional training missions and live fire training, it would go up even more!
Calculated based on 700 yuan per person, 37 billion will be spent on basic wages and other military expenses alone per year.

If the salaries of those officers and the benefits of officers at all levels are added, the expenditure for this part will reach 40 billion!
There are also some expenses incurred by people who are not members of the military but are employed by the military, and there are almost more than one billion in various expenses.

Then there is the loss, replacement, and installation of military equipment. These all require money to buy. In fact, what the military uses to maintain military operations and construction in a year, and can actually get it, adds up to more than a billion!
It may seem like this isn't really a problem at all, after all there are more working class people in the federation and they are doing very well.

But they are different from the working class. Workers' wages are paid by capitalists, and they also have ways to realize their self-worth.

They work, produce, and generate value.

In the case that there will be no foreign wars in the future, military expenditures will no longer be necessary because they will not be able to realize "value" in the true sense.

"What makes me even more uneasy is that within some armies, there are even terms like 'so-and-so family'!"

"As the highest violent organ of the federation, the military should and must maintain its independence!"

"It should not belong to a certain person or a certain family, but to the federal government and the federal people!"

"I have reason to worry that as the end is approaching, uncontrollable conflicts may break out in the military, causing uncontrollable consequences."

"So I beg the Senate, the Speaker, and the members to seriously consider my issue and consider how to properly handle military-related issues under the current situation!"

"My speech is over, thank you everyone..."

In addition to being able to hear him say these words, everyone also had a document in their hands to cooperate, which used very detailed data to explain the reasons why the current military is meaningless to social development.

People believe in numbers down to four decimal places as firmly as they believe that one plus one equals two!
In summary, two core issues can be drawn from the questions raised by this congressman.

First, military spending is too high. Even the budget after reductions is too high!

A budget of 1000 billion can build two large shelters, which is at least.

As shelter-related technologies mature, the cost of building shelters will inevitably drop further in the future. By then, the money will be enough to build three shelters! !
Three large shelters can accommodate at least 500 million to 1000 million people, and the shelters currently being built by the federation cannot actually accommodate everyone in the federation!

There are about 1000 million people who cannot enter shelters because there are not enough funds!

The construction of a shelter can be said to be a collection of the highest industrial standards. It involves more than just digging a hole and stuffing people in!
If you could dig a hole and build a shelter, all gravediggers would become master shelter builders!
Funding restricts the construction of more shelters, and no one knows whether it will cause other troubles in the future if so many people know that there is no place for them in the shelters.

But now there is a good option. As long as the military expenditure is saved, these problems can be solved. This seems to be a good solution.

The second core issue is the factional issue within the military that needs to be taken seriously.

The problem of factions in the federal army is not new. There have been various factions since they started massacring the natives.

It's just that people have been reluctant to talk about this issue. After all, who has nothing to do and is willing to offend these generals?
Just because you can't stand it?

In the past, the value and role of the military were very obvious and clear, and no one would make an issue of it.

But as the issues surrounding the Peleus family now unfold, this matter that would have been impossible to bring to the table has also been brought up.

Once the "loyalty" of the army is questioned, it will be a huge trouble!

This is true for both the federal government and the military!
The congressman chose a good reason and ran directly in the direction of forcing Peleus and his family to rebel.

In the early years, in order to establish the concept that they were the "authentic military", they did a lot of stupid things that can now be used as problems...
