Gundam: The Wind That Blows Through Space

Chapter 695 Election Day (Saturday)
"The second elected chairman of the People's Revolutionary League is Lund Mina Sahak!"

Lindemann's voice was steady and even, and he even raised it slightly to drown out the sound of the explosion outside the window. However, by this time, most people in the conference room had completely lost their usual composure. Some people kept trying to contact the ground troops using various communication tools, but after a while everyone discovered in despair that the replies they received were of no help in analyzing the current situation.

Right after the first round of explosions, Takito and Troy had already driven their respective MSs out to meet the enemy, and they were accompanied by several ace teams that were escorting dignitaries into the orbital elevator. However, there was no unified situation report from the ground, and almost everyone except Mina could only receive words such as "rebellion, friendly attack".

"How can you do politics with this bunch of insects?"

For some reason, the words that Siegfried said when he mocked the five major families suddenly appeared in Mina's mind. The argument that "the world is a huge makeshift team" also came to this conference room in an extremely real manner. Everyone here can get whatever they want as long as they return to their posts, but now, no one even cares about who was elected as the second chairman.

Panic, fear, and helplessness appeared on the faces of these political elites. Mina took a deep breath. She knew that she could not apply military standards to these bureaucrats who had been staying in the rear. She also knew that the military government system must withdraw from the stage of history at the appropriate time. Otherwise, Patrick was a living example. With a seemingly advanced system like the Council of Representatives, once a powerful military government appeared, the fate of the entire country would inevitably be heading towards war.

"This orbital elevator can withstand attacks from strategic-level weapons. Everyone, please be quiet. Hand it over to the base defense team and the combat team that escorted you. Next, we need to evacuate according to the procedures."

So she decided to stabilize the situation first, at least not let this group of people look like a group of ants on a hot pot. So Mina stood up from her seat, and her height of nearly 1.9 meters quickly made her the focus of the venue.

"Wait a moment!"

However, the sudden voice interrupted Mina's first opportunity to exercise power after his election. Taking advantage of his height, Mina looked up and found that the speaker was his opponent. Against the backdrop of chaos, the former vice chairman showed a unique calmness.

"Given the emergency, I think this vote should be annulled and we need to find another time and place."

“Wait a minute,” Mina pointed at her opponent who was still struggling. “The procedure is correct and there is no objection to the process. You say it doesn’t count? What do you think the People’s Revolutionary League is? What do you think this election is? Is this a party for you to play house!!!”

“But the attacks outside”

Facing Mina's direct gaze, a trace of cold sweat slid down the vice chairman's forehead unconsciously, but it was obvious that Mina had no intention of letting him go. It can be said that she was still willing to attend the meeting on the premise that she predicted that Luo Pan would take action at the election site, which was itself a certain risk. Therefore, Mina not only had to take advantage of the situation to pursue him, but also had to kill him with one blow to prevent future troubles.

"What do you think the army is? Just one order from the top leaders and the soldiers will follow suit and carry out your orders without complaint!"

"The army is made up of people, and everyone has his own thoughts. You can decide the beginning of the rebellion, but you can't decide the end of the rebellion. Guess whether the adjuster who attacked us from outside the stratosphere really wants to help you win the election, or he hopes that all of us can die here, Mr. Former Vice Chairman!" "You you."

The brutality of political fighting is no gentler than that on the battlefield. Looking at the vice chairman who finally showed panic, Mina's word "front" completely sentenced his competitor to death.

If there were no compass, perhaps Mina would not have behaved so cruelly. Dividing, attacking and winning over are the basic skills of a qualified politician, but now the struggle between factions has extended from the political arena to the military, and the nature of it has immediately become 'loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely not loyal'.

Sometimes Mina himself admires these bureaucrats who have been promoted under the civil service system. They were the ones who cut military spending in the first place, and now it is the same group of people who are inciting hatred between natural persons and regulators. Mina really wants to pry open these people's brains and study them carefully to see what kind of brain circuits make them feel that the army is under their control and that the soldiers are just a tool for transmitting orders.

While the other party was speechless, Lindman announced the voting results on the stage. Everyone could clearly see who voted for whom. To some extent, it was also trading privacy for fairness. After the cards were revealed, if anyone found that their vote was tampered with, Mina would lose his most basic political credibility. At that time, not to mention running for election, he would not even be able to continue his current position as vice chairman.

A quick glance at the contents on the screen revealed that there were some expected betrayals, but the proportion was too small to shake Mina's base. Choosing to side with Mina would naturally allow them to get a share of the future orbital elevators and transformation planners, but Orb's small size was also an advantage that could not be ignored.

Because of its small size, Mina was bound to face a shortage of manpower after taking office, so it became natural to use people who were not direct descendants of Orb. In addition, Londo Bell's destruction of the satellite microwave cannon base was also a righteous act.

More importantly, with the Black Knight case, Luo Pan lost its legitimacy. Next, this organization will inevitably face the encirclement and suppression of the gods. Those ground troops that originally supported Luo Pan will either accept the amnesty or change their flags and rebel against the People's Revolutionary League. But no matter what, Lu Yu and his army also unanimously hope to see a chairman who will at least not cut military spending indiscriminately come to power.

Finally, Mina’s election can be considered inseparable from the deterrent power of heaven, but in the final analysis, military force only accounts for a part of the factor. Who has a brighter future is the core factor of political stance.

Looking at the extremely obvious vote advantage on the big screen, many national representatives who were still waiting and watching had already made up their minds that if they got on the train now, it would still be considered a favor, but if they waited for Mina to sort out the internal conflicts of the People's Revolutionary League and MS drove to their doorstep before discussing joining, they were afraid that their future treatment would not be much better.

Just when the meeting place was gradually calming down, everyone was surprised to see Mina step over the long table in an almost rude manner and then grab the vice chairman who had been dismissed from his position.

"How dare you let someone bring a nuclear bomb to the base! So in the eyes of you insects, the future of mankind and the long-cherished wish of unifying the Earth are not more important than your own rights? Answer me!!!"
