The Magician of the Star

"Will President David be impeached?" Shen Xingji asked.

"No." Slessor said with certainty.

Shen Xingji has never paid too much attention to politics. Although he has a flexible mind and can understand a little bit, he is different from an old fox like Slesser whose every cell is soaked in calculations. He does have some points in this regard. innocent.Slessor explained to him, how is it clearly stipulated in the law?The President or other civil officials shall be removed from office upon impeachment and conviction for treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.Did President David treason?No!Caught in a bribery scandal?No!Not to mention the president, even the spokesman was only inappropriate, he did not commit a crime!

"Then why did President Yun take the blame and resign?" Shen Xingji asked again.

Before Slessor could answer, Shen Xingji came to his senses first: "Ah! President Yun took the initiative to take the blame and resigned that time. He resigned by himself. He was not removed after being impeached by Congress." There is a big difference between the two. Well, President Yun voluntarily resigned, it was the Yun family's initiative to give an explanation to the public; if he was dismissed, then he must have committed a crime.

Shen Xingji was a little puzzled: "Actually...it's okay for President Yun not to resign? Even though the public's opposition was so strong at that time, since President Yun himself did not commit any crimes, as long as he can handle it himself, Congress will not impeach him." He, or even if he is impeached, will not be able to completely remove President Yun because of insufficient evidence in the end."

Slessor nodded. "Honey, you've finally figured this out."

Slessor's "baby" was a bit like the tone of an elder calling a junior, it was intimate enough, but not ambiguous at all.Shen Xingji didn't care about being shy, but instead asked, "Then why did President Yun resign voluntarily? He also apologized to the public?"

Political creatures are the most resilient.Or to put it in a more popular way, even if a political creature looks gentle, he has a thick skin, so thick that he is invulnerable to a knife or a gun.Since the current President David is able to withstand the pressure, even if there are parades everywhere, he still sits safely in the presidency, so why did President Yun resign?

Instead of answering the question directly, Slessor asked, "Are you aware of the flower policy?"

Shen Xingji shook his head.

As early as the early days of the war, in order to resist the massive invasion of other people, almost all human beings were soldiers.People sacrifice every day. They may be fathers or sons, husbands or brothers, mothers or daughters, wives or sisters.The one with the largest number of casualties, millions of people died in one day, and a human spaceport exploded, causing violent tidal reactions on the nearest planet.

Because the corpses also contained genetic information, in order not to be taken away by others, all the corpses were cremated on the spot.

By the time humans finally ended their losing streak, the population had dropped by a third.Almost every family has someone who died directly or indirectly in the war, and the sad and painful emotions enveloped the entire central galaxy.People at that time didn't need the government to mobilize them at all. They hated others, and they wanted to support the army no matter what they had.

If people can completely wipe out the others in one go, then of course it is worthwhile to spend everything.

But the fact is that the war has reached a stalemate, and human beings cannot completely defeat the others, and the others have never given up their coveted heart for the central galaxy.Does the central galaxy still need to develop after exhausting everything every year?

Therefore, the government at that time proposed the "flower policy".

The general idea is to encourage everyone to plant a few flowers at home, retry their confidence in life, and restore their ability to perceive beauty.By extension, the war must be won. The soldiers on the front line will never give others an opportunity to take advantage of it, but the people living in the rear, please don't give up, cherish the stable environment created by the soldiers for you, and live well Bar!

This policy was necessary at the time.

Because there are casualties in every family, and everyone suffers from the pain caused by the war, the probability of people suffering from mental illness and suicide rate has risen rapidly, and the foreign war has lasted for ten, 20, 50 years... Victory is still far away no period.Since it is impossible to alleviate the pain of the people with a comprehensive victory, the news media can only report staged victories, coupled with flowers and appropriate entertainment, to create a relatively happy social atmosphere for the people.

"After the introduction of the flower policy, the suicide rate of the public has dropped significantly, and education, economy, technology, etc. have also seen steady development, which shows that under the environment at that time, this policy has indeed played a role in stabilizing society and promoting development." Slesser concluded Said, "But the flower policy is not without sequelae. When the first batch of victims who faced the war passed away one after another, many people now have never witnessed the cruelty of war from birth to death. The soldiers feel the same way? As long as their interests are not violated, they are willing to sing praises to the soldiers on the star network, showing great respect for the soldiers. But as long as their direct interests are violated... selfishness is the nature of human beings."

During the period of President Yun, the government departments realized this problem, and President Yun had made tentative measures of "anti-flower policy" at that time.Cough, there is no such term as "anti-flower policy" in the political arena, this is what Slesser summed up.

This is also the reason why President Yun voluntarily resigned after the Moganca war.

The first tentative move of the "anti-flower policy" is to expose the cruelty of war and continue to elevate the status of soldiers.At that time, the government even had a plan to shape a few contemporary heroes, so as to inspire the blood of all mankind.Yun Binyan is undoubtedly on this list.He fits all the people's imaginations of an invincible human commander, okay?

As a result, this "typical" overturned.

"First, President Yun wanted to appease the anger of the whole army. No matter what, there was already public opinion at the time that President Yun was a nepotism. Except for Yun Binyan who had served in so many armies, the other armies had never been in contact with Yun Bin. Say this person, after the court-martial gave a trial, they saw more than 2000 soldiers sacrificed because of the corrupt commander, who was appointed by President Yun as a crony, are they angry? It will be directly related to the battle situation on the front line. President Yun voluntarily resigned to give an explanation to all the soldiers at the bottom."

"Secondly, President Yun wants to implement the anti-flower policy. If he is still in the presidency after the Moganca war disaster, with the implementation of the policy, will the people have something to say? If you really respect the soldiers Please give an explanation to the soldiers who died in the Moganca war. If President Yun does not resign, the anti-flower policy will become a joke."

Shen Xingji was a little dazed: "So, President Yun...is he very selfless?"

"I don't dare to say whether it is selfless or not, but this person does have some righteousness in his heart." Slesser said, "Politics like them actually have their own factions. In previous elections, you can't just look at Which one wins and which one loses depends on which faction wins and which faction loses. The Yun family and David are obviously of the same faction. After President Yun took the blame and resigned, their faction worked together and won the vacant term. Finally, David was finally sent to the presidency."

Back then, President Yun had to take the blame and resign. Now that similar things are happening again, the Yun family, David and other forces in their faction will definitely not be as passive as last time. They will never give up their political seats easily this time.

Slessor stretched out his hand and touched Shen Xingji's head: "Power...as long as the person holding power has public interests far greater than selfish ones, then he is a good leader for the people. I have never had contact with President Yun, But as far as the current finance minister is concerned, he is very public-minded and worthy of people’s trust. After the Moganca war, the Yun family’s political resources seemed to have plummeted, but they did not lose their allies. Believe it or not, not only us In reviewing the black box of the Moganka war disaster, the Yun family, the David family, and even the Zhang family you identified as relatives must have dispatched people to review the black box."

"I believe... there is strength in numbers, and I hope this re-examination will have results as soon as possible." Shen Xingji said.

Although there is little hope, is there really something else hidden in the black box that has been sifted through by the court-martial that can reveal the truth behind the Moganca disaster?But apart from Shen Xingji, there are many people who hope the answer is yes.

The next development was just as Slessor said, no matter how high the public's opposition was, no matter how many satirical articles were published by the media, big and small, it seemed that David was about to step down, but he just didn't step down.

It is said that the public's memory is only one week. When the hot topics on social networks were gradually replaced by other things, a man named Bill Ben was shot dead at home.The police closed the case with "burglary", but news soon leaked that nothing was missing from Bill Ben's house, not even the star diamond ring he was wearing was snatched by the "robber". Robbery, this is clearly murder!This Bill Ben used to be David's intelligence officer.

When David was running for the presidency, Bill himself was a staff member behind the scenes, and he contributed a lot to him!

As a result, public grievances that had not been completely calmed down broke out again. The reason for their march became suspicion that President David used improper means during the campaign. Many people believed that Bill Ben was silenced by David.

Shen Xingji felt that Bill Ben's death should have nothing to do with President Davide. Referring to Slessor's previous analysis, as long as Davide can hold on, there will be no major problems with his presidency, and there is no need to risk killing people at this time.Even if Bill Ben really had any evidence against David, it would be enough to make up a crime and control this man.

Slessor asked, "Why don't you guess again, who do you think did these things?"

In fact, Shen Xingji had no idea at all, but after hearing Slessor's question, he tentatively said, "Thomson?"

"It was Thomson who killed the man directly, but it was David who led Thomson to do this..."

"Hey?"

"The unscrupulous businessman Peters who occupies three parts of the world in the chaotic area, you know, he actually has a tacit understanding with the government." Slesser suddenly smiled and said another thing.Obviously, there is another deep, deep inside story here.It's not that Peters is an innocent military spy, he just occasionally communicates with the military.

"Hey?!"
