One of the representative members sighed and said.
"We are all members of the Star Alliance and can be considered a family. We don't want to quarrel over these things, but Mr. Council Leader, we are really in a difficult situation."
"I understand. After you go back, write down your demands on the document and submit it later. Let me think of a solution. To put it bluntly, it doesn't make any sense for me to punish anyone, because you are all trying to survive.
. But then again, even in order to survive, some of you are not very kind. You should restrain each other when you go back and wait for the Covenant to free up."
Su Bai said with a headache.
"Yes, Mr. Subai Council Chairman."
Everyone replied one after another.
"Let's just break up."
Su Bai announced that this impromptu meeting had been going on for four or five hours, and he was basically very tired.
At this time, the closed door of Parliament Hall No. 2 opened, and Su Bai and the members walked out. As a result, a surprising scene appeared. There were still a group of members waiting outside the passage.
When they saw Su Bai, they all gathered around and greeted him with a somewhat uneasy expression.
"Your Majesty."
"what's the situation?"
Su Bai was also stunned. He turned to look at Bai Lan.
Bai Lan explained to Su Bai.
"These are all congressmen asking for help from the Star Alliance. Under normal circumstances, they are all under the control of Cohen, because Cohen is mostly in charge of the economy and supplies. But you also know the current situation of the Star Alliance. The application documents they uploaded for subsidies
, Coindo will never pass. They have no choice but to come to you."
Su Bai didn't say much, just said one sentence.
"Hey, everyone, come in."
"Yes, Speaker."
The council members present replied uneasily. They also knew whether they should come to find Su Bai, but they really had no choice.
Soon all the members were seated and the parliament reconvened.
But the atmosphere seemed a bit heavy, and all the members present looked at each other and lowered their heads.
I don’t know how to open my mouth, after all, the first time I open my mouth is to ask for resources and subsidies.
Su Bai also saw the awkwardness in the atmosphere, so he took the initiative to break the silence and spoke.
"Take turns."
"Master Speaker, it goes without saying that we are here to ask for resources. We are really in dire straits. Food, medicine, and daily necessities are extremely scarce. We don't expect to be able to solve it 100%, we just hope to get some.
The material subsidies are enough.”
"Yeah yeah!"
....
The MPs present all agreed.
"There's also a shortage of food?"
Su Bai asked with furrowed brows.
"Lord Speaker, please listen to me. It's not that we have nothing to do and we have to come here to ask for supplies. Take the food you mentioned as an example. In recent years, after the Star Alliance obtained energy catalytic conversion technology, it has indeed produced large quantities of it.
Food has been provided, which greatly alleviates the survival problem of the people at the bottom. But this does not mean that the problem is solved. Since the war is over, the overall population of the Star Alliance has begun to slowly rebound, and the demand for food is also increasing, and the distribution cannot be so even.
In many cases, food subsidies are provided based on regional quotas. Some areas have a large population, but the subsidies allocated are very small..."
One of the leading congressmen explained.
Su Bai understood what was going on as soon as he heard it. It was definitely not enough for distribution, so Cohen focused on supporting some areas.
It cannot be said that Cohen's approach is wrong, after all, resources are limited.
Su Bai tapped his fingers on the table slightly, lost in thought and did not speak.
None of the congressmen present continued to say anything. Basically, everything that needed to be said was said. Now it depends on Su Bai's decision.
They are also very nervous. If they don't get support from the Star Alliance, they will be in big trouble next.
Bai Lan looked at the silent Su Bai and sighed in his heart.
The current situation of the Star Alliance is indeed not very optimistic, and it is too difficult to change this pathology.
Finally, Su Bai said to everyone: "I basically understand your situation, and the Star Alliance will not sit idly by. But it also takes time to come up with a solution. You all go back first. Let me go back to this matter."
Think about it and see how to solve it."
After hearing Su Bai's words, although the members present looked a little disappointed, they all stood up and replied.
"Thank you, Lord Councilor."
Then many members of the parliament room left one after another.
Su Bai was the only one left sitting on the parliament stage. He pinched his eyes and felt a little tired.
It's not that he can't solve these problems, it's that he simply doesn't have the materials and money to solve them.
"Your Majesty."
Bai Lan spoke softly, interrupting Su Bai's thoughts.
"Um?"
Su Bai subconsciously replied
"Master Speaker, do you want to take a rest? If so, I will postpone today's planned schedule."
"What was the original itinerary for today?"
Su Bai's mind was a little confused.
"This afternoon I will finish my planned itinerary and go to various regions to visit disabled veterans and the families of martyrs."
Reported by Bai Lanhui.
"Walk!"
Su Bai stood up. Today's itinerary really couldn't be postponed. Let's not talk about anything else. Many of these veterans had fought alongside him, not to mention the families of the martyrs.
Another point is that they are very supportive of their succession to the position of Speaker of the Parliament.
"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away."
Bai Lan explained.
"Wait."
Su Bai suddenly said.
"Any other instructions?"
Bai Lan raised her head and looked at Su Bai.
"This trip will not go to the first- and second-level cities, but to the lowest area. There is no need to notify the people below, we can just go down by ourselves. I want to see the most real situation."
"I see."
Bai Lan replied without any hesitation.
Soon after, Su Bai and Bai Lan got on a special speed car and set off.
On the speed train, Bai Lan explained to Su Bai.
"The third-level city we are heading to now, Philadelphia, is a third-level city belonging to the Longxia Kingdom. After visiting Philadelphia, we will go to Haig City in the Kimik Empire, and finally to Uzi City. These three cities
Each city is the city where the largest number of retired veterans are resettled.”
"very good."
Su Bai nodded and replied with satisfaction.
"Master Councilor, you can take a short rest."
"Need not."
Su Bai looked at the passing scenery outside and replied in a daze.
When the sky darkened completely, several flying cars arrived in Philadelphia silently and landed in an inconspicuous parking space.
Su Bai and Bai Lan walked down.
Long Qi got off another car and walked over, saying respectfully to Su Bai.
"Your Majesty, this is Philadelphia, and the security is not particularly good. Please stay within our sight. We must ensure your safety."
"Don't be so cautious, don't forget, I am a general myself."
Su Bai responded with a smile.
"This time, that time."
Long Qi shook his head and insisted.
"Just listen to General Long Qi's words. She has actually been very relaxed. I think back then, every time Chairman Long Yan went out, he was followed by heavy troops."
"Okay, let's go."
Su Bai also knew that Long Qi was doing it for his own good.
"Come with me."
Long Qi took Su Bai and the others toward the alley not far ahead.
