As Palpatine finished speaking, the large conference room, which now accommodates 123 members of parliament and military cadres, could be quiet and began to operate according to the procedures. The Speaker first announced the issue, and then the military intelligence agency represented by Stukov began to report the information.

However, although the superficial atmosphere has quickly entered the state, there are actually very different between the MPs and the soldiers, especially considering that these people just came from various time zones in a short period of time, the differences are even greater. Unlike the soldiers who are upright and neatly sitting in a military manner, as [politicians], many of the members of the MPs came with sleepy distribution and untied appearances; and compared with the sharp eyes of the soldiers like awl, the faces of the members seemed very dull.

Of course, this does not mean that the MPs are fools, but they are basically like this when facing major related issues, which is completely different from when they are running around and canvassing votes - after all, one of the essence of politics is how to delay a crucial thing to irrelevant art.

Almost every member of the parliamentary showed a embarrassed expression on his face, smoking cigarettes and spraying mist, and looked at each other quickly like a mongoose, peeping at his colleagues around him. His look of being ready to shirk responsibility at any time made a vote of soldiers, including Dugal, feel full of contempt.

Stukov quickly finished the report, and then began to play the information from the Ark Plan - the influence in Obannon's own memory. In other words, Lehman's nonsense negotiations with Obannon at the Port of Dead, his feat of protecting the shield from the back of his head, cutting the armor plate with one hand, and his remarks were exposed to the high level of the earth.

When the image is finished, the military information report will be over. This report will wake many sleepy slaps of the parliamentarians like a fierce slap. On the one hand, the parliamentarians know that this means interests and threats, and on the other hand, they know that a big thing is coming--the military is about to start asking for money.

Then, indeed, the heads of a large number of research institutions such as the Naval Strategy Institute, Shimada Institute, etc., which represent the army, stood up and spoke, saying that if Kopru had developed this kind of psychic and gene-enhanced warrior, the planned expeditionary force would have to be improved and expanded in some aspects. Then the people from the war room and the general equipment department stood up and analyzed the advantages of the opponent's advanced combat power in ground warfare and special operations, and how much combat costs would increase.

Of course, in the end, all of this is drawn into one sentence, "making money".

After listening to these speeches, I naturally entered the discussion time. Some members of the parliament held their hands in front of their chests and said to their colleagues in a confused voice:

"It's easy to say that increasing military spending."

"And if the military expenditure is increased, it will definitely succeed. Isn't this too wishful thinking?"

"Will you shout the slogan "[The increased military expenditure could have built many nursing homes and schools" later?"

"Don't do it randomly, this is not the time for election."

Compared with the noise that the MPs who privately despise the soldiers, Palpatine, as the speaker, must be much more calm. As the politician at the pinnacle of human society, Palpatine most of the time pursues the ancient leader's precepts such as "golden words and jade words". When speaking on important occasions, he basically goes straight to the topic, and the extra words are not to be said. So he waited until the hall was quiet, and his face seemed as calm as stagnant as he spoke:

"As for the military, there are requirements for the plan to expedition to Kopru, and the budget needs to be increased..."

After saying these short sentences, Palpatine's eyes swept across the venue. After looking at the MPs, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and her eyes turned to a smile. She continued:

"Now, when we are in a meeting to discuss this matter, the relevant person in charge should talk about it carefully and carefully talk about the current financial situation."

Although there was a smile in his eyes, the "detailedness" in his words was filled with the energy of the dantian, which sounded full of murderous aura. After saying this, Palpatine picked up his hands from the table and crossed them, and began to speak in a long tail. While speaking, he looked at Marshal Reinhardt, his cheeks bulged. That was because of gritting his teeth when he was talking. As the saying goes, it is just gritting his teeth:

"Military expenditures need to increase, people's livelihood must be taken care of, and universe development must be done. These things require taxpayers' money. Money is not for nothing, and labor is not for nothing. These are all major events. Wherever military expenditures are spent and where they are spent, we must understand this. You cannot hesitate to spend money, and you must never spend what you should not spend."

After saying that, Palpatine swept the whole audience with her eyes again. She was like an owl who never turned her eyes, and she only had a round of her neck, which looked very majestic. After sweeping around, Palpatine paused, so she was absolutely [I finished talking].

The shortest sentence is also emotionally unexciting. In the ears of the MPs, it is the slogan of charge. After they heard it, the crowd was in a turbulent manner. The members of the various people's livelihood departments and the members of the various planets were whistling out, either talking endlessly, citing scriptures or speaking coldly. They analyzed and refuted the UED Army's request for additional money, and even had many sounds of killing.

Palpatine is a cunning man, but the senior UED officers are not bad either. Marshal Reinhardt is staring at the corner of his mouth, but the corners of his mouth are hanging, showing a smile----If the Marshal knows that Palpatine is the director of this scene, he is the artistic director. If the military doesn't speak, the play is not considered to be the beginning. Moreover, the Marshal looked at Dugal, who had a tight face, and was even more relieved.

The general under his command, when he encounters a battle and meets an opponent, would most of the time show amazing silence and calmness. It is a kind of terrifying silence before the predator snatches. The longer the silence, the more ruthless it is when the snatch is done, and if it is not fired, it will be dead. When you really take action, you must make the enemy never turn over.

Dugal waited quietly for the members to finish the performance, then stood up, swept the venue without any retreat, and spoke with a passionate but polite voice:

"Some members said that there are too many requests, so I think so far no one has planned to give up Koplu. Strategically, this is a goal that must be completed. As a tool to achieve this goal, any UED in order to achieve the goal, rather than how good it is, is just considering the requirements put forward in completing the goal, which is actually under the premise of completing the big strategic goal, and in theory, it should be met."

Palpatine lowered her eyes and said quietly.

"Some members said that our warships and cannons can't handle a few super soldiers. I need to remind you that the super soldier is able to withstand the laser beams emitted at the speed of light at close range. You must know that there is no real concept of [super soldier] in the army. Weapon technology, and even industrial technology, are different from the famous paintings and decorations in your home! They would never have the concept of [only this out of print] at the beginning of their design. Any weapon war technology is designed for mass production. Now you have seen a super soldier who can be invisible, cut out the armor of warships, and resist lasers at zero distances. Do you think there will be no thousands of such warriors in the future?!"

Dugal's words were powerful, and the members of the parliament had no room for refutation - Kopruna was also a human being after all, science and technology, weapon technology, industrial technology, and the foundation and essence of all technology are human. Then the armed forces of human beings will not have the concept of only one super warrior. This is not a science fiction superhero. This is a war, and there is no quantity to you just spank!

All the members of the parliament know this.

"These soldiers may not be able to fly over a warship alone, but have you ever thought about how destructive they are to command organs, logistics bases and other key nodes, how to fight the army that loses commanders, and how to fight the army that loses logistics, do you want all the expeditionary forces to not get off the ship? What should you do if the supply is done? Is it impossible, the expeditionary forces must establish factories in Kepru for supply, and perhaps they must also replenish troops in the local area, and do not increase the budget to deal with those super soldiers. What should you do if these are done?"

"And after we go, we don't want to kill all the people of Kopru, we want to re-incorporate Kopru into the human territory. Should the local forces fight for it? If we want to fight for it, facing such elusive super warriors, I want to ask how many forces you have to think about whether your head will be taken away by those warriors before agreeing to form an alliance with us!"

"And when it comes to the issue of insufficient funds, I would like to talk about the issue of Morgan, Minister of Agricultural Development, embezzling funds from the external universe development agency to buy a house for himself in aliens." After a while of intense enthusiasm, Dugal suddenly changed his subject, "I have Dr. Freeman from the external universe development agency testified for this matter."

"Is this happening?" Palpatine suddenly interrupted, looking very surprised.

"Yes, Dr. Freeman has provided evidence, please take a look." After saying that, Dugale waved his hand and someone played a large amount of evidence on the center screen of the conference room, everything from video to accounting records.

Willie Young gave Stukov a thumbs up under the table.

After seeing it, Palpatine patted his forehead with a look of ugly expression. As soon as the Speaker made this move, the army immediately burst out and cursed some members of the parliament. The few members of the parliament also stood up and began to condemn them. Just when Marshal Reinhardt felt that the heat was good today, Speaker Palpatine on the opposite side suddenly looked up and said:

"Then start voting."

As soon as this statement was made, Reinhardt, Doogel, Stukov, and Yang Willie were shocked - the vote was overwhelmingly unfavorable to the members of the parliamentary - who would dare to object at this time? What is this speaker selling?!

But at this moment they couldn't say anything. The vote was carried out quickly. UED got their military expenditure increased under this strange situation, and then the Speaker and the Marshal announced the resignation.

"Marson, this..." Dugall walked beside Reinhardt, looking embarrassed.

"I know, Palpatine, the old fox, has become strange to do this, but while investigating, we can only move forward first. Since we have received more support, we should make full preparations."

Stukov, Yang Willie and others who were following the side were thinking. After a long time, the wise general abandoned all baseless doubts and came to a conclusion that Palpatine wanted to promote the expeditionary force, and he had always opposed the expeditionary force before. Such a sudden change was a trap.

So when facing the trap, how to ensure your own safety and eat the bait? A bold plan formed in Yang Willie's head--maybe the Ark plan can be expanded and applied to the soldiers of the Expeditionary Force, but in another way...
