Chapter 279 Emergency Martial Law
Chapter 279 Emergency Martial Law (4 in k chapter)
"Bastard!"
When Yu Chengfeng heard that he was about to resign and apologize, he smashed the cup in his hand in anger. Looking at the news handed to him by his subordinates, he felt unprecedented anger in his heart.
Over the past fifty years, he has risen from an 'ordinary' civilian to the Speaker of the Federal Parliament step by step. Only he himself knows the hardships he has endured.
But now he was ordered to resign and apologize, and from then on he would be nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of the Federation and lose all his power. Naturally, he was extremely unwilling to do so.
Moreover, he felt extremely wronged in his heart. Whether it was Pluto Douluo Halosa, or Holy Spirit Cult leader Long Jun, those who had been causing trouble recently were all Ultimate Douluo. What could a mere Titled Douluo do?
You can't let him deal with Halosa and Long Jun himself, right?
"Honey, what happened?" Hearing the noise coming from Yu Chengfeng's room, Yu Chengfeng's wife Jin Yurou immediately pushed the door open.
Yu Chengfeng looked at his wife in front of him, handed her the letter in his hand, and told her that he was about to resign and apologize.
"How could they do this? It was clearly these Extreme Douluos who were just sitting there doing nothing who failed to protect Mingdu. How could they put all the blame on you?"
After understanding the situation, Jin Yurou said quite dissatisfiedly.
"Husband, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family has always died standing up, never lived on their knees. You must not give up like this!" Jin Yurou said.
Yu Chengfeng nodded in agreement. "Yes, back then even Seagod Tang San had to respectfully address my ancestor, Master Yu Xiaogang, as his teacher. I cannot disgrace the reputation of my ancestor."
"But Yu Haosheng and the others are Ultimate Douluo after all, what can I do?" Yu Chengfeng sighed and said helplessly.
The current Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family has long since declined, not to mention its status as one of the top three sects in the past. It is almost being kicked out of the sphere of major forces.
"Wait, husband, now is not the time to give up. I have an idea." Jin Yurou suddenly said.
"Tell me quickly, what should we do now?" Yu Chengfeng asked hurriedly, as if a drowning man had finally grabbed the last straw.
Jin Yurou said, "Husband, have you forgotten that as long as the Federation enters a state of emergency martial law, you, as the Speaker of the Parliament, can make personnel arrangements without the approval of the Parliament. Can't you take this opportunity to dismiss Yu Haosheng, Beigong Li and the others?"
"They want you to step down. This has already torn your relationship apart. You might as well take this opportunity to give it a try."
Yu Chengfeng said, "Although as the speaker I can indeed declare the federation to be under emergency martial law, what if I remove them and they don't listen?"
Jin Yurou said, "Husband, you are too concerned. You are the Speaker. If they don't obey, just let the police and the army arrest them."
"You are the Speaker of the Federal Parliament. The army and the police will definitely listen to you!"
So, Qiangu Huangyu saw the Federal Parliament Speaker Yu Chengfeng’s televised speech on the hotel’s soul guide TV.
"Dear citizens, as the Speaker of the Federal Parliament, I appeal to you all. So far, since the establishment of this parliament, there have been many terrorist attacks by evil soul masters."
"Since the start of the Federation Youth Advanced Soul Master Competition, there have been no less than fifty terrorist attacks by evil soul masters."
“This is not only a situation that has never occurred in any other country in the world, but it is also a situation that has never occurred since the founding of the country.”
"The Temple of War and some of the military were established to protect the Federation. They are no longer able to fulfill their functions and have seriously damaged the dignity of the Federation."
"The Sun-Moon Federation has become a paradise for crime and has fallen into a state of public security panic."
"I declare a state of emergency in the federation. This is a measure that must be taken to protect the freedom and security of citizens, ensure the sustainable development of the federation, and leave a sound federation for future generations."
"I promise to eliminate the evil spirit masters and the inactive spirit masters in the War God Temple and the army in the shortest possible time, and restore the Federation to normal operation."
“The martial law period may cause some inconvenience to law-abiding and kind citizens, but we will do our utmost to minimize such inconvenience.”
"In addition, I will also impeach the current Lord of the War Temple, Yu Haosheng, the Deputy Lord, Chen Yiming, and the Minister of the Military, Beigong Li. It is their inaction that has led to the current chaos in the Federation and the rampant evil spirit masters."
“And we hope that Shrek Academy’s Sea God Pavilion Master Bei Dexun, Deputy Pavilion Master Long Yeyue, Tang Sect Master Jun Shengbai, Deputy Sect Master Chen Yi, Spiritual Pagoda Master Qiangu Dieting, and Deputy Pagoda Master Leng Yangjun will resign as soon as possible and accept prosecution by the Federal Procuratorate.”
"You are responsible for the current state of the Federation!"
...
No. 15, Nanshan Street, Mingdu, Shadow Parliament.
Yu Haosheng and his friends looked at each other in silence after watching Yu Chengfeng's live broadcast on TV.
"What's wrong with Yu Chengfeng? He actually declared emergency martial law at this time?" Tianjuan Douluo Bei Dexun couldn't help but cursed.
Yu Haosheng said helplessly, "Why did we choose him as the Speaker of the Parliament back then?"
"I remember it was because he had no opinion of his own and was always easily influenced by others and controlled by others. His decision only depended on the last person who saw him." Qiangu Dieting said.
“Although these qualities don’t make one a good person, they make one a very good Speaker of Parliament,” Jun Shengbai said.
Beigong Li picked up the soul guide communicator, and heard the helpless voice of his disciple Yue Hongchen from it.
"Teacher, I have received an order from the Speaker to ask me, the security commander, to arrest you, the military minister, as soon as possible."
Beigong Li said unhappily, "I'll just sit here and see who dares to take me to the trial seat."
Yu Haosheng also received a soul guide communication, which was from the commander of the first division of his Central Army Corps.
"Chief, the Speaker has ordered me to arrest you as soon as possible. I suspect the Speaker may be crazy. Do you need me to arrest him now?"
In the Mingyue Hotel, the leader of the Sea God Corps, Chen Yiming, also received a soul communication from his son Chen Xinjie, "Father, the Speaker ordered me to ask you to go to the prison."
...
After hanging up the phone, the highest power hall of the Sun-Moon Federation fell into a strange silence.
...
When Police Minister Cheng Ping'an learned that he was going to arrest eight Ultimate Douluo including the Central Army Corps Commander Yu Haosheng, he instantly felt like the sky was falling.
Is this true? I’m playing Extreme Douluo?
"Sir! Something terrible has happened!"
Seeing his confidant running towards him in a panic, Cheng Pingan said unhappily, "What bad things can happen now?"
The subordinate replied, "According to federal law, as long as more than two-thirds of the members of the parliament vote in favor of lifting the emergency martial law, the speaker must lift the emergency martial law."
“So, the Speaker asked us to guard the gates of the parliament.”
"Boom——" Cheng Ping'an suddenly felt that his brain was about to explode. He had to withstand the pressure of eight Extreme Douluos to defend the door of the parliament. Even if they killed him, he couldn't do it!
...
Mingyue Hotel.
"How did things suddenly become like this?" Gu Yuena said in confusion.
She was originally preparing to participate in the one-on-one finals, but was informed that martial law had suddenly been imposed and all residents were prohibited from going out without permission.
"But there are so many people outside watching the excitement. Is this really an emergency curfew?" Leng Yulai leaned on the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the busy streets outside, and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's called martial law, but it's like a child's play." Leng Yaozhu complained.
"Why don't we go out and see what's going on?" Qiangu Dongfeng suggested.
"If you want to go, go by yourself. We have just been placed under house arrest." Qiangu Qingfeng said.
Just now, Leng Yangjun came over and told them not to go out.
Qian Renxue said, "To put it bluntly, Yu Chengfeng's position as the Speaker of the Federation is just a nominal position. He can barely command the police and prosecutors, the real violent agencies of the Federation.
"With these forces alone, he not only has to maintain martial law, but also has to deal with the War God Temple, Tang Sect, Shrek, and the Spirit Pagoda. It would be a miracle if he could win."
Qiangu Huangyu opened his communication soul guide and found that netizens were making passionate speeches online. He couldn't help but complain, "Isn't this too much of a joke? Whose family doesn't have an internet connection during an emergency martial law?"
Before Qiangu Huangyu could continue to complain, a piece of news instantly attracted Qiangu Huangyu's attention:
'Your psychic friend 'Tower Master' has started live streaming, go watch it~'
The tower master is naturally the note that Qiangu Huangyu gave to Qiangu Dieting. Originally, Qiangu Huangyu wanted to note Qiangu Dieting as "the knife blocker" to pay tribute to the scene in another timeline where Qiangu Dieting died at the hands of the Holy Lord after blocking the knife for Gu Yuena.
But considering that Qiangudieting, as the master of the Spirit Transmission Tower, can see the backstage, in order to avoid being discovered by Qiangudieting and then some things like a loving father and a filial daughter happening, a tower master who behaves in a conventional way was selected.
"Why did my father start live streaming?" Qiangu Huangyu entered the live streaming room driven by curiosity, and then casually projected the live streaming content onto the wall of the room so that Gu Yuena and the others could watch it together.
As soon as I entered the live broadcast room, I saw Qiangudieting speaking while sitting in a moving car.
"Speaker Yu Chengfeng announced the implementation of emergency martial law and the dissolution of parliament. The lifting of emergency martial law requires a resolution to lift it. During this period, Speaker Yu Chengfeng may use the army and police to arrest parliamentarians."
"There is no legitimate reason for declaring martial law. It is just an attempt to shirk responsibility for his own incompetence, to ignore the people, and to put his personal interests above the entire federation."
"It is too late, but please protect the Federation. We will also sacrifice our lives."
"Lifting the state of emergency requires a vote by members of parliament. I am heading to parliament now. I ask all members of parliament to go to parliament, and I also ask all citizens to give their support."
"Fellow citizens, please come to the parliament now. The parliament needs your protection."
"Military soldiers and police officers, only the people can command you. Speaker Yu Chengfeng has betrayed the people. The emergency martial law he declared is invalid."
"From this moment on, Yu Chengfeng is no longer the Speaker of the Sun Moon Federation's Parliament."
"Soldiers, your resources and weapons come from all the citizens. You should not obey former Speaker Yu Chengfeng, but the citizens."
"And we do not agree with Yu Chengfeng's emergency martial law."
Soon, Qiangudieting’s live broadcast room became the most popular in the entire federation.
The abbot of the Spiritual Pagoda is considered to be the permanent vice-president of the parliament and his position will not change with the parliamentary elections.
Qiangu Dieting was one of the highest authorities in the parliament besides Yu Chengfeng, so his words immediately caused a huge response. Twenty minutes after Yu Chengfeng issued the emergency curfew, a real big shot finally made a public statement.
Whether it was to keep their power or they were really inspired by Qiangu Dieting's words, the MPs walked out of their hotel rooms and went to the parliament to vote.
Qiangu Dieting also revealed a series of negative information about Yu Chengfeng, including corruption, abuse of power for personal gain, huge amounts of wealth from unknown sources, and an improper relationship with his secretary.
It also emphasized that he had studied at Shrek Academy.
In addition, Qiangudieting also promised that for all citizens who are willing to lend a helping hand to protect the Parliament and the Federation, the Spiritual Tower will do its utmost to protect their personal safety and provide corresponding compensation and rewards afterwards.
With the support of the main platform of the Spirit Transmission Tower, the citizens living in Mingdu ignored Yu Chengfeng's emergency martial law and took to the streets, waving flags and shouting for the lifting of the emergency martial law.
Residents who do not live in Mingdu also cheered for them online.
No. 15, Nanshan Street, Mingdu, Shadow Parliament.
"We finally managed to get a live broadcast and all they did was promote his old face!" Bedxun said rather dissatisfiedly.
Originally, Qiangudieting was discussing countermeasures with them, but when Qiangudieting saw that all parties could not reach an agreement on the redistribution of interests after the matter was over, he left on the pretext of needing convenience.
How can we build a good federation with a bunch of insects like this?
Then the next time Bedexun and the others saw Qiangudieting was in his live broadcast room.
Qiangudieting was sitting in the special car belonging to the owner of the Chuanling Pagoda with the license plate number Ming AOOOOO5. The police did not dare to stop him and let him travel unimpeded on the road to the parliament.
However, Qiangudieting deliberately asked the driver to drive very slowly so that his followers could keep up with him. He also leaned out of the car window from time to time to greet his followers and thank them for everything they had done for the Federation.
Seeing that Qiangudieting had more and more followers, Yu Chengfeng also noticed that the situation was completely out of control.
"Is there still no news from Yue Hongchen? Why hasn't she caught Beigong Li yet?"
"What on earth is Chen Xinjie doing? Is it so difficult to catch Chen Yiming?"
"Mr. Speaker, they didn't respond. Now they don't answer our soul communication calls. What should we do now?"
After listening to his subordinates' report, Yu Chengfeng was furious. "A bunch of traitors. The Federation is in danger, and none of them is willing to save the country!"
"Honey, hasn't Le Jingchen, the commander of the Southern Legion, always been at odds with Yu Haosheng? If you ask him to come over now, he will definitely be willing to deal with Yu Haosheng." Jin Yurou suggested.
ps:
I love this magical world, it's so much fun.
