How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 196 House of Representatives

On the planet named 'Selin', apart from the huge ravines made up of buildings that can be used as the actual latitude and longitude, there are other things that can be seen.

Seen from outer space, on those neat latitude and longitude lines, there will be many large circles distributed irregularly.

The existence of these circles did not destroy the overall beauty of the planet 'Selene', but served as an embellishment, making it more natural and beautiful, not dull, making it look more like a work of art, planet-level artwork.

However, that is not a product of performance art. In the world of the Serenes, the area inside the circle symbolizes 'rights', and it is a place called the 'House of Representatives' in the world of the Serenes.

The Cerene empire is not what the head of state said. Excessive concentration of power, while exerting strong execution capabilities, will also bring extremely high risks. This risk may even lead to the disintegration of the empire.

Therefore, there is a check and balance of rights. Every head of state will think about how to check and balance his own rights. Then, the final answer to this thinking is the emergence of institutions such as the House of Representatives. The House of Representatives represents the public opinion of the empire. .

The House of Representatives has only one right, that is, if all members pass unanimously, they can veto orders from the head of state.

In a dictatorial empire, what are the orders of the Führer? For soldiers, yes, military warrants! For fanatics yes, Oracle! For businessmen, it is absolutely impossible to go beyond the violated market rules!

Now, with something above this, the power center of the empire will inevitably be tilted, and this is the result that successive heads of state are willing to see.

Of course, the head of state will not be foolish enough to really create a stumbling block for himself. What happens on the bright side does not mean that the same is true on the dark side.

As long as a large number of various types of Houses of Representatives are deliberately set up, such as the Local House of Representatives, the Regional Planning House, the Social Service House, the Law House, etc.... In this way, the power of the head of state will not be restricted, but there will be no From the perspective of those who understand, there are checks and balances, and they are very large checks and balances.

Ma Wen was different from Naf. After saying goodbye to Naf, Ma Wen did not return to his residence, but was taken to a place by his elder brother, which was the House of Representatives.

It was the original House of Representatives, and it was also the one with the largest development scale. According to the vision of that generation of heads of state, it represented the public opinion, that is, the check and balance of the power of the head of state. At that time, House of Representatives was still a very new term and had just appeared Not long.

However, the head of state's thinking was still too idealistic, and he didn't take into account the weakness hidden in the human nature of the Serene people. The development of the House of Representatives ended up running counter to the original expectation.

At the very beginning, after the local forces and all kinds of local tyrants learned about the House of Representatives, they immediately used all their resources and energy to mobilize the local people and support them to become members. , because it grew crooked from the start.

Later, the House of Representatives was decentralized. Although the original House of Representatives lost the right to compete with the head of state, the collection of local forces around the world is still a force that cannot be underestimated.

Today, this House of Representatives has developed into an existence that cannot be ignored in the empire, but it has been overwhelmed by the head of state.

Ma Wen stood quietly in the center of the hall, and then, with the position where she stood as the center, starting from a radius of 8 meters, there were round after round of high seats.

With tens of thousands of individuals, one can imagine the pressure caused by the gathering of eyes, but that is for ordinary Serin people.

I'm very tired. I was called over just after the interstellar voyage. If you don't explain why you called me over, then I'm leaving.

After speaking, Marvin turned around and wanted to leave. This kind of gesture would naturally make some people unable to sit still.

etc.

Are you finally willing to speak? Wouldn't it be fine if this happened earlier?

Ma Wen taunted very shamelessly, pushed back what the other party had just wanted to say, and forcibly ended the topic.

...

What do you want to say? Or what do you want from me?

In turn, Marvin took the initiative to speak.

Hey, Sir Marvin, we hope to get information about the monsters on the colonial planet from you.

Didn't I already send the data back to the home planet? What else do you want to know?

Marvin glanced at the councilors on the seats with questioning eyes.

Sir, what we want to know is more detailed information, do you understand? I hope you can tell us the hidden information, and we are willing to pay enough 'sincerity' in exchange.

Sincerity? I'm exhausted now, but you're here to talk about sincerity? You don't even have a chair, so let me stand for so long.

We are sorry about this, but please believe in our sincerity. We have a very friendly attitude.

There is no fluctuation on Ma Wenming's face, and he is already slandering in secret. Does your 'friendliness' mean that you come up first to show off to the 'guest'?

To be honest, I have delivered all the information. What reason do I have to hide it? What benefits can this bring me?

Marvin explained again that he did not conceal information.

However, the other party seemed certain that Marvin was hiding something.

Really? Let's get straight to the point then.

You once said at the banquet held by Governor Augustus, 'Something changed the life on that planet into what it is today'. May I ask this question, where have you researched?

Marvin was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect the other party to ask this.

You said that? That was just my early speculation. Until now, there is no conclusive evidence to prove that speculation. How could I write it into the report?

That's why we called you over and wanted to know where your research has come.

no progress.

Sir, please don't make such jokes, your ability is recognized by the entire empire.

But I have to have time, right? Don't you know that as the fighting intensity between monsters and the Fourth Fleet increases, we may be wiped out at any time? Under such circumstances, who can calm down and study?

...

After the conversation was over, Marvin slowly left the House of Representatives.

After that, the councilors continued to ask some other questions, and Marvin answered them truthfully, but according to Marvin's research on 'micro-expressions', these councilors didn't seem to care what the answers to the follow-up questions were.

Marvin deliberately said a few wrong questions, but they didn't notice.

It's really suspicious... These congressmen...

What are they planning?

With such doubts in mind, Marvin muttered to himself while walking.
