Chapter 432: Chapter 174: The First Federal Meeting_4
At this moment, Zhang Feng also felt that civilization was advancing too quickly, and the aftereffects had already begun to erupt.
If it weren’t for the Z1 superconducting technology holding up, we might have entered another economic crisis.
Because during this period, the ’superconductor Computation Power Building’ started operating! Exploring the further mass production possibilities of superconductors.
Faced with this kind of ’disciplining’ behavior from the pioneers, no one dared to speak up, nor did anyone want to be ’called out and criticized’ at the first meeting.
After all, this was everyone’s first time forming a ’truly meaningful’ unified meeting.
Everyone was feeling their way across the river and nobody wanted to be the first to step out.
Unlike previous meetings where everyone freely expressed their opinions.
Meanwhile, various parties were exchanging glances, and think tanks whispered like a storm,
Ultimately, the think tanks concluded with one sentence: ’In this kind of "first formal internal meeting," silence is golden.’
It was a political ’tacit compromise.’
However, Zhang Feng, seeing everyone playing ostrich, directly pointed out: "Gend, you’re the representative of the Mei Dynasty and the Western major powers, why don’t you share your thoughts?"
Zhang Feng said, not waiting for his refusal, "Let’s vote now. Raise your hand if you agree that Gend should be the chief representative of the West."
Swish swish swish.
Everyone raised their hands except the bewildered Gend.
"Good, unanimously passed internally." Zhang Feng nodded and turned to him, "West representative, please address this issue."
’My God!’ Now as the Western representative, Gend was utterly bewildered, ’Do you really want your believers to go to hell?’
If he said something wrong, he might offend a group of people.
However, after blanking out for a few seconds, he quickly gathered his thoughts while listening to the think tank’s audio, organizing his language to say:
"Pioneer, gentlemen of the Federal Assembly.
I agree with the questions raised by the pioneer, because the pioneer’s judgment is entirely correct.
We have flaws in energy usage and monetary expenditure management, and we’ve reached the point described by the East as ’the mountain is impoverished and the water is exhausted,’ facing yet another collapse crisis.
If I could represent the entire West..."
Gend first looked around at the Western representatives and finally said, "Gentlemen of the parliament from the West, I will advocate for indefinitely postponing this plan, to give us the time we need."
"I agree as well."
"Agree!"
"Follow the pioneer’s wishes."
Everyone responded one after another.
That’s also Zhang Feng at the beginning, Mei Dynasty at the end, even Old Liu was nodding.
If the big players were nodding, what could they possibly say?
"Then let’s adjourn." Seeing that there was nothing more to say, Zhang Feng decided it was time to leave.
As he stood up, Zhang Feng looked toward the screen where Gend was also about to stand,
"Gend."
"Pioneer!" Gend slightly bowed, pausing his departure.
The others who were ready to get up also halted their movements, looking toward Zhang Feng, thinking there might be something important.
But Zhang Feng smiled and corrected Gend, "The phrase you said earlier wasn’t ’the mountain is impoverished and the water is exhausted,’ but ’the mountain is impoverished and the water is depleted.’
Moreover, ’the mountain is impoverished and water is depleted and seems without a way’ is part of a poem, and there’s another line, ’a hidden village with willow darkens, blossoms shine.’
If you’re not very familiar with it, you can ask us in the East; many people are willing to enlighten you."
"Thank you, Pioneer." Gend, facing such a congenial Pioneer and receiving this guidance, felt a bit flattered and bowed in gratitude.
However, Zhang Feng shook his head,
"One more thing, in future official assemblies..."
Zhang Feng looked at the solemn crowd,
"Please call me a councilor."
