Chapter 1737 New Commander
On May 13, the Golden Crab and its rebel fleet officially left the Alliance before the pursuers arrived and sank into the vast spiral cross galaxy.
When this news reached Nephi, it certainly did not attract the attention of the Alliance rulers. To them, the rebels who just moved to the border were just a group of small rebels, and their harm was not even as great as the pirate kings of the past. Even many republics and kingdoms were ready to fight a civil war, which could not shake their orderly political pace and governance rhythm.
After the emergency congressional election, Mr. 5 Berenkester officially became the leader of the Alliance, the head of state representing 7 trillion people, and the natural leader of this half of the galaxy.
But in fact, when he just ran for election, most of the Alliance people's impression of him was "Who the hell is this?"
It's not that the dignified Master Feno Berenkester is not famous.
After all, his last name is Berenkester, he is a permanent director of the Standard Shipping Association, a member of the board of directors of Libra Bank, and the (honorary) president of the Rainbow Rose Foundation. After all, when he was young, he was an inspector of the Extraordinary Administration and had been involved in many dangerous missions. He was also awarded the "Alliance Star" medal at the age of 30.
Later, he often appeared in the economic news as an investor, chatting and laughing with all kinds of young, old, reliable and stupid entrepreneurs, and he looked like a timely rain for the alliance.
Of course, he would not forget to appear in various entertainment and gossip news, and even participated in several variety shows, which fully met the standard taste of the alliance's rich.
In short, Feno Berenkester's public image is still good.
However, before the start of this election, his life was completely insulated from politics. When ordinary people saw him appear in political news, they actually felt that the style did not match.
Even such a person can become the Grand Commander, which can only mean that the Alliance has placed a lot of expectations on the surname "Berenkester", just like a royal family with outstanding achievements.
In addition, the Alliance is a typical parliamentary federal system, and the leader of the ruling party automatically becomes the head of state.
However, before that, Feno Berenkester was not a member of the Galaxy Federation, nor even a member of Congress. However, in less than a year, he completed the whole process of joining the ruling party Galaxy Federation, being nominated as a member of Congress, being elected as a member of Congress with a unanimous vote, becoming the president of the ruling party, representing Marshal Estai as the temporary Grand Commander, leading the party to defeat the aggressive opposition alliance in the congressional election, and becoming the official Grand Commander.
If this story is put in the political drama of the Alliance, it will definitely be complained by the audience for being uncommon sense.
Of course, some people also raised the question of whether Mr. Berenkester's method is a bit irregular? How can a political novice say that being a member of Congress is a member of Congress, and being the president of the party is the president? This feeling of being appointed is too obvious.
Moreover, with such a short time, it would be too late to just go through the process, right?
However, this reasonable doubt did not even stir up a storm.
When the Golden Crab sailed into the starry sea, the new head of state of the Union also began his inaugural speech in front of the Capitol of Nephi.
"The biggest change I can bring to you is eternal frankness and sincerity. People of the Union, now is the best time to tell you the truth and the whole truth honestly and bravely. We don't have to dodge and dare not face the reality of our country today. We are indeed facing the biggest dilemma and challenge of this century. Therefore, let me first express my firm belief: this great country will persist as always, it will revive and prosper. In the face of common difficulties, both you and I need this spirit..."
He has a kind smile, a generous and gentle language, and a little chic, which is very charming. Compared with the President of the Community Nishita who had previously made a big splash in front of the public of the Union, he was not so aggressive, but ordinary people still liked this feeling.
In short, the general leader has a very good public image, and his eloquence and persuasiveness are top-notch. The public actually likes this man who plays a lot but is straightforward and generous.
However, smarter people know that the "difficulties" and "challenges" mentioned by the general leader are not taxes, finances, welfare security, or some troubled border star regions and member states, but the Galactic Empire.
However, the general leader, who came from the most wealthy family in the alliance, still seems to have not faced this problem. So, how can this playboy-like general leader lead this half of the universe to resist the aggressive Dragon King?
This is what the public is most suspicious of the new government.
Then, in the second half of the speech, the trusted leader of the alliance added another paragraph:
"As the leader of the alliance, the free people have given me the full power to represent them, and I also have the responsibility to speak for all the free and republican people in the universe in this beacon of freedom. I must admit that I have a special message for the warriors and people in the community who are still fighting: Although I cannot meet you in person, my speech is not only for the people of the alliance in front of me, but also for you. I firmly believe as you do: the blue flag of the community will never fall!"
His last words were spoken in Earth's common language, and they were immediately contagious.
"Just based on this sentence, maybe the people on earth are willing to die another ten billion people?"
"The Circassians, with a population of 200 billion, have not been able to hold on for one more week. How can another 10 billion people on Earth die?" "So, is this speech a success?"
"Of course it was successful. The ratings of this speech were 15%. It was higher than the ratings of Mrs. Parlotin's speech in Congress..."
"This name is taboo now. Don't you have any common sense?"
"Well, I mean, it's three percentage points higher than the previous Commander Tatos."
"Is this so strange? The commander-in-chief's surname is Bei! Both Huanyu and NOB belong to their family."
"No matter what his surname is, since so many people have heard his voice, the future work will be much easier."
"The sixth commander-in-chief of the Bei family... Every time a member of the Thirteenth Family takes up the post of commander-in-chief, it is either a good time or a chaotic time. When is it now?"
"It won't be the worst, so I'll be satisfied. I'm still thinking about retiring."
"The marshal is so pitiful. No one remembers him and no one misses him."
"Marshal? Who is the marshal? Also, as a senior, I have to remind you that the thirteen families and the royal families of the alliance do not exist. They do not exist! Do you understand?"
The bureaucrats in the Azure Palace looked at the commander-in-chief who was looking at ease on the rostrum, and exchanged the above-mentioned content that was neither polite nor friendly. They have worked at the Azure Palace all their lives, and they will probably work until the day they retire. They are the group of people who have the most contact with heads of state, and of course they are also the group of people who lack the least respect.
However, although they are acting strangely, they are full of expectations for the new big boss. Big bosses who are born into wealthy families and are not short of money have a high vision. They will often provide benefits to those around them, and they will turn a blind eye to some occasional small actions.
In comparison, the previous Commander-in-Chief Tatos was not good enough. He was born as a civilian scholar and has been in business and academia. He is really not easy to fool.
More importantly, judging from the new commander's intentions, he is really planning to do something about this war. Then wouldn't everyone be able to chat and laugh with "friends" from various military-industrial complexes?
At the same time, the citizens of Nephi also cheered sincerely. Because the Grand Commander has really promised everyone that he will implement the minimum wage bill, promote the ten-hour working day, etc. within one year.
As for the Capitol Square where the President gave his inauguration speech, there was a little bloodshed last year, but everyone seems to have forgotten all this.
Anyway, at least for those Nephi citizens present who started cheering, it was indeed time to try to move forward and start a new life.
However, whether it is to expand the military and prepare for war, or to provide benefits to ordinary people and stabilize public sentiment, real money and silver are needed.
So, at the board meeting of the Standard Shipping Association, when the "Princess Rainbow Rose", who officially became the executive director in place of her father, sent the report in her hand to the representatives of the big capitalists in the alliance present, everyone fell into a brief silence.
"This is the new taxation bill. It is indeed a plan that the new government will implement within one year. As representatives of the alliance's chamber of commerce, we are obliged to cooperate with the Nefi government in all work." Yamida· Berenkeist glanced at everyone with a bright and warm smile, but his tone did not mean to discuss anything.
After a while, a well-dressed gentleman slowly said: "This, this is different from what was promised!"
"Is it different? So please tell me, what exactly did we agree on?" Miss Berenkeist tilted her head and looked at each other, still smiling.
"...No, no, nothing, I just made a mistake." The well-dressed gentleman almost cried.
Princess Rainbow Rose withdrew her eyes. She, who was sitting at the bottom, showed a reassuring smile as if she was a superior: "Then, let's vote. The six major banks, led by Libra Bank, and the boards of directors of the three major shipping groups have all made correct judgments. I Of course I believe you can do it too.”
Before she could finish her words, Astrid Ariel, who came to the meeting on behalf of his elders, quickly raised his hand: "I absolutely agree with everything the Nephi central government does!"
