141: one hundred and forty-one(1/2)
Tianma Galaxy.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, the referendum began on time.
In this interstellar era where information transmission is extremely developed, there is no possibility of missing out on voting because someone is in a remote area and fails to get notification in time. The steps of referendum are also very concise, and you only need to operate it on your own personal terminal for a few strokes.
Therefore, the voting time is only two hours open to Star. Citizens who do not vote on time will be considered abstention.
A giant light screen is erected in the congressional rotunda of the main star of the Tianma Galaxy, with voting data scrolling in real time.
Sitting on the scene were all the political leaders of the Tianma Galaxy, General Lanshan, the First Legion of the Demosen Empire and his entourage, as well as representatives from all walks of life in the Tianma Galaxy, everyone looked solemn, staring at the changing data on the light screen.
While paying attention to real-time changing data, many Star Network reporters present were paying close attention to the performance of the people present. Dozens of flying cameras flew around the scene, and the atmosphere was tense and warm.
…………
Yula Star.
Base accommodation area, a high-end apartment specially provided for guests to live in.
Mr. Turner Thomas, who was thin and gentle, walked into his nephew's room with two cups of specialty fruit tea from the beautiful scenery.
In the room, Andrew Thomas was looking at the light screen in front of him with deep eyes, frowning and a gloomy expression.
Although he accepted the invitation from General Lanshan, he did not go to the Tianma Galaxy to meet her. Instead, he actually came to Yula Star Station to communicate with the mecha warriors of the First Legion according to the invitation. During this period, the two communications with General Lanshan were conducted through remote communication.
Turner Thomas put the fruit tea to his nephew and looked at the light screen. It turned out that it was a real-time broadcast of the Tianma Galaxy referendum.
The proportion of votes in favor and votes against is steadily increasing, and there is no major wave at the moment. A reporter took this time to introduce General Lan Shan’s speech before the referendum, and their predictions about the impact of this speech on the referendum.
Lan Shan is not a politician of the Tianma Galaxy. All the propaganda and encouraging work in the early stage of the referendum were completed through the pro-Dermosen faction in the Tianma Galaxy government. Today is her first public appearance in front of the Tianma Galaxy public.
Her speech was very short, only ten minutes, but the content was very powerful, because it really touched the vital interests of the vast number of citizens of the Tianma Galaxy and was very shocking.
The reporter who introduced Lan Shan's speech again was a well-known large media company in Interstellar. This company has a strong background and invited two political critics who are well-known all over Interstellar to analyze it on the spot.
They refined Lan Shan’s speech into two points: one is the exact same civil rights; the other is a five-year trial period.
[Exactly the same civil rights] means that in addition to the various preferential policies mentioned in the previous publicity, General Lanshan also guarantees that after the political and military integration of the Tianma Galaxy and the Dermosen Empire is realized, citizens of the original Tianma Galaxy will enjoy the same civil rights as citizens of the Dermosen Empire - no discrimination or special treatment, and the same rights are completely the same!
[Five-year trial period] means that General Lanshan promised that the Tianma Galaxy would hold another referendum in five years. If the citizens of the Tianma Galaxy were dissatisfied with their current situation, they still have the right to choose to go independently again.
The two critics lamented that this commitment of the [five-year trial period] will have a significant impact on the results of today's referendum, and is a very confident and courageous move.
And [exactly the same civil rights] is like a reassurance, which will make people who are always undecided and have some concerns relieve themselves.
To sum up, the [five-year trial period] and [exactly the same civil rights] proposed by Admiral Lanshan will greatly alleviate the rebellious sentiment of citizens of the Tianma Galaxy, prompting many people who were originally undecided to vote for it.
As soon as the reporter finished speaking excitedly, Turner Thomas heard his nephew humming impatiently.
Turner Thomas asked in a somewhat joking tone, "Andrew, do you have any disagreements?"
Andrew Thomas replied lightly, "No."
Turner Thomas shook his head, feeling that his nephew's mood was still not right.
Andrew Thomas has had a rational mind and steady personality far beyond his peers since he was a child. This is also a characteristic of a super mecha warrior. Only those who are calm and calm enough can exert the power of the mecha to the extreme. However, recently, the people from the Thomas family have found that he is in a very abnormal mood.
This is very unusual for a super mecha warrior who is very good at self-control.
Turner Thomas is Andrew Thomas' youngest uncle. Although he has grown up for a lifetime, he is not much older than Andrew. The two usually get along like friends. In addition, he has a good temper and a gentle personality, so this time the Thomas family sent him to accompany his nephew Andrew to Yulaxing.
When he looked over again, he found that the other side blocked by Andrew's body was still standing with a small light screen on his personal terminal. It was the personal voting page of the Tianma Galaxy referendum. He obviously had not voted yet, and the option buttons on the page kept flashing.
Turner Thomas asked knowingly, "Andrew, you haven't voted yet?"
Andrew Thomas's voice was a little low, "I haven't decided yet."
"Didn't you agree to Admiral Lanshan?"
"I just said I would consider voting for voting, but without a promise, I would definitely vote, and I could choose to abstain."
Turner Thomas sighed and decided to have an open and honest conversation with him.
First, push the beautiful star fruit tea you brought to your nephew.
The beautiful star is not far from Yula Star. It is not only a famous tourist planet, but also produces fragrant fruit wine and fruit tea.
Like the famous plant and beautiful scenery on the beautiful scenery star, Turner Thomas's sweet taste of the two cups of fruit tea in his hand also has the effect of relaxing and pleasant mood.
After Andrew picked up the cup and took a few sips casually, Turner Thomas sat down next to him and said seriously, "Andrew, what are you competing with yourself? You obviously want to vote for it, I know."
Andrew Thomas frowned, "I still have some concerns-"
Turner Thomas, "Concern? Are you worried that this will affect the relationship between the Thomas family and the Second Legion? No. Since General Song agreed to accept the invitation from the First Legion, he must have reached some consensus with General Lan Shan. It was his tacit agreement that we voted for in the Tianma Galaxy." Looking at his nephew deeply, he said earnestly, "Andrew, you have been in a bad state recently. Maybe telling me can help you relax."
Andrew Thomas looked at him lightly, and although he saw sincere care and concern in his uncle's eyes, he still didn't say anything.
It’s not that he became stubborn and refused the care of his family, but that he could not say it, or that he could not say it.
Do you want to tell his uncle that when he thinks of General Lan Shan, he will have various manic emotions from the bottom of his heart. Sometimes he is full of fighting spirit and is excited to completely defeat the other party, so that she can only look up to him; sometimes he admires and worships him, and is impulsive to want to show loyalty and surrender to the other party.
Andrew Thomas has always known that he is a natural warrior, with the desire to conquer in his bones and blood, and he will also be conquered by stronger people.
It's just that this emotion is not very suitable for the current situation, so he must try to restrain himself and suppress the excessive emotions brought by the fighter plot in his nature.
After a long time, he said in a plain tone, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry."
He pointed to a timed reminder on the corner of the light screen to show Turner. Thomas, "I have set a deadline for myself to recover my emotions. When the time comes, I will control myself and return to normal."
The time reminder is set at 9:55.
Andrew Thomas then said with a stern face, "In addition, uncle, it's better for you to keep a smile. A too serious expression is not suitable for you, it feels a bit strange!"
Seeing that his nephew had a clear idea, Turner Thomas felt relieved and touched his nose and coughed gently, "Is that right?" He was not used to being so serious, especially when facing this nephew who always acted too well.
…………
As time goes by, the atmosphere in the Tianma Galaxy Congress Hall has become increasingly tense.
In the huge light screen, the blue numbers show the proportion of votes that are in favor, and the red numbers show the proportion of votes that are not against.
At 9:55, the proportion of votes in favor reached 31%, while the proportion of votes in opposition reached 34%.
Meryl felt that her vest was soaked in cold sweat, and there were still five minutes left, and the votes against were already three percentage points higher than the votes for favor. Could it be that they would fail this referendum!
Go quietly to see the people sitting around you.
I found that even Brigadier Laura, who had always been calm and atmospheric, pursed her lips tightly, showing a little worried expression.
Secretary Du Wei had a straight back, his hands tightly held his eyes, and his eyes were staring at the huge light screen standing in the middle of the rotunda hall.
Lan Shan brought Miss Bernis to the scene and arranged for her to sit next to Meryl. Even she looked nervous at this moment, holding the handrail tightly, her lips slightly twitching, and she didn't know what she was talking to herself.
Only Lan Shan still maintained her usual calmness. As long as she didn't want to, no one could see any emotions on her face. Meryl even saw her tilting her head and chatting with Governor Fann sitting next to her.
Governor Fanen is trying to control the joyful expression on his face.
Nine-fifty-six.
Andrew Thomas, who was far away from Yula Star, finally pressed the voting button.
The blue numbers in the light screen suddenly rolled wildly, and a low buzzing sound could not help but sound in the solemn hall.
The proportion of votes in favor stopped when they reached 36%, while the proportion of votes in opposition stopped at 34%.
Meryl could vaguely hear a few people around her breath of relief.
The joy on Governor Fan En's face faded away like a tide of joy. He knew that this was another person who had significant voting weight and decided to support Admiral Lanshan at the last moment.
…………
The capital star of Demosen, General Gauguin's mansion.
Gao Yan and Gao Pei are also accompanying their father to watch the referendum broadcast of the Tianma Galaxy.
Of course, they didn't want to see the Tianma Galaxy become a great helper for the First Legion, so as he saw the votes of approval overtake at the last moment, Gao Yan couldn't help but feel disappointed and let out a light whisper.
Then her brother pulled her and told her not to speak casually, so as not to disturb her father.
They are different from their elder brother Gao Li. They usually act coquettishly and behave well in front of General Gao Geng, but they dare not talk too much when they have serious business, let alone dare to speak loudly with their father like Gao Li.
Their big brother who is more daring to speak is now at the congress hall of the Tianma Galaxy. He is looking carefully and can still see him in the live broadcast footage.
Gao Li and his friend Carter sat in the seat of representatives from all walks of life in the Tianma Galaxy. The broadcasting camera turned to their direction at this time. Gao Yan and Gao Pei saw their elder brother whispering to Colonel Carter with a serious expression, while Colonel Carter was correcting that he was lowering his head and operating something on his terminal.
Gao Yan couldn't help it anymore and asked carefully, "Dad, my elder brother said that Colonel Carter's trip to the Tianma Galaxy was the same as his purpose. Is this true? The Second Legion didn't care. Why did Colonel Carter interfere in this matter by himself?"
General Gauguin replied, "Since your elder brother said that, it should be true. As for why, I prefer Eddie Carter's personal reasons."
As soon as the words fell, the red numbers in the light screen suddenly began to roll wildly, causing a buzzing sound. Ten seconds later, the red numbers steadily stopped at 37%.
Gao Yan exclaimed, "Oh my God! I'm back again."
…………
The office of the capital star Song.
The light screen on the table is also a live referendum of the Tianma Galaxy.
Seeing that the vote against him took the lead again, Secretary Nawen couldn't help but exclaim.
The camera then turned to General Lanshan and Governor Fanen, giving them a clear close-up.
Although Governor Fan En's face was deliberately serious, he could see the unpredictable surprise in his eyes by looking carefully; Lan Shan still looked calm, and no matter how carefully he looked, he could not capture any leaks from her dark and deep eyes.
