Chapter 590, I Want to Impeach
The news brought by Gallardo made the entire parliament hall fall into silence.
The high lords were all silent.
They were all thinking.
The collapse of the Western Front and the disappearance of ‘Phoenix Crown’ along with the head of the regiment Su Lie were certainly a huge shock. However, the high lords quickly recovered from the shock.
What they need to think about now is what the empire should do next?
The impact of the collapse of the Western Front is huge.
That is the main battlefield among the three fronts. The content of the meeting before Gallardo came to report the situation on the Western Front was how to connect the three fronts and how to launch a general attack on Iron Armor with the Western Front as the main force.
Well, there is no need to discuss this matter now.
The main attacking force is gone!
What we need to consider now is what to do after the Phoenix is gone and the Western Front collapses?
It is unknown how much damage the main force of Iron Armor has suffered, and it should be considerable according to the current assessment. However, after all, there is no specific situation to support it, so it is impossible to judge whether Iron Armor still has the ability to attack.
Be lenient with the enemy and think of the worst. Judging from the fact that Iron Armor still has offensive capabilities, the situation will become very bad after the collapse of the Western Front.
If Iron Armor continues to go west, the entire Magre Universe will be wide open; if Iron Armor fights north and south, the situation will be slightly better if he goes south, and the Alliance may have a chance to stop the enemy. If he goes to the north to join the group of Void Zerg, Marshal Leroy will not be able to resist and can only retreat.
In the past, people didn't worry too much about this problem. Void Zerg are not easy to communicate with, so why do they join?
However, although no one said it clearly, everyone had some speculations about the few words that came out of the battle of the collapse of the Western Front.
Did Iron Armor defect to the Zerg?
This is a bit of a fantasy. Is there any benefit in defecting to the Zerg? The Zerg is different from the Chaos traitor. Although people who defect to Chaos will seem to become very twisted and their wills will be corrupted, it is possible that the person involved will be quite happy and can gain power or even move up a level. The Empire has also sealed some intelligence, involving records of Space Marines and even mortals who have become demon leaders. Researchers call it "ascending demons". These may have been great heroes among humans who fell and became "demon princes".
From this perspective, although the thrower is very corrupt, disgusting, and twisted, it still has a "promotion space".
What "promotion space" does the thrower have? The Zerg will only devour everything!
Throw the worm and wait to be eaten?
No one will... that's not right.
This kind of thing does exist in this world.
There are those who are corrupted by the Zerg, but they are often floating eggs that parasitize on mortals and give birth to a new race. They often hide in human society, in the form of religion, gangs, etc., in the lower hives and the lower society. They will spread the "infection" everywhere, whether it is physical parasitism of eggs or ideological control, in short, they will continue to grow and develop until they have the ability to subvert the regime, or at least stir up unrest.
When their activities on the planet become more and more intense, one day, an unrivaled Zerg army will arrive and devour the entire planet.
From this perspective, Iron Armor is suspected to be so.
But there are many unsolved mysteries.
In the past records, there is no record of Space Marines being infected.
Moreover, if the ruling class of Iron Armor is infected, then these greedy Zerg monsters who only have the biological instinct of eating can resist eating?
They now roughly control the entire universe!
After thinking about it, people couldn't help but speak.
They must pay more attention to the situation in Dongjiang.
Some people are saying that it is time to consider forming an expeditionary force from the Solar Universe to quell the rebellion with the core strength of the Empire, and not let the situation continue to deteriorate; some people are saying that the Inquisition and the Assassin's Court must work hard, not to mention killing Humphrey Paul, at least try to get some intelligence to know what happened in the Princess Star Domain.
During the discussion, someone found that Gallardo had been there all the time.
The Prime Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Ou Juren, said, "Please ask Prime Minister Gallardo to leave. The Supreme Council will continue."
The words were condescending and even a little disgusting.
They used to be in the same group and belonged to the same political faction. In fact, Ou Juren was Gallardo's boss before. When Gallardo ran to Holy Terra and "sold" his former colleagues of the War Apostles, he went to Ou Juren to sell them.
It was Ou Juren who accepted him and made him join his faction, and gradually gained a foothold and even grew stronger.
It's a pity that when the wings are hard, they will fly.
Has Gallardo never been a person who is willing to stay in the same place?
Obviously not.
What's more, he has a "good brother" who is on the southern front.
When the alliance had not participated in the war before, it was him in Holy Terra who withstood the pressure for Gu Hang. For this reason, he quarreled with Ou Juren a lot.
At first, they were just perfunctory and procrastinating, but later they could no longer procrastinate, and quite a lot of quarrels broke out between the two sides, and the entire faction gradually began to split.
Gallardo was not in vain. Ou Juren, who thought he had the final say, was shocked to find that after the split, quite a lot of people actually stood on Gallardo's side.
Even if a Prime Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs did not get a seat in the Supreme Council, he was still a top official in the central government of the empire. Of course, he was qualified to win over a group of marginalized and undervalued people in the original political faction and unite them.
Ou Juren originally thought that after Gallardo's "rebellion", he could easily drive him out of the position of Prime Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs.
After all, according to him, Gallardo's position was entirely due to him. If he could help Gallardo to get there, he could naturally slap him down.
However, after the alliance began to take the initiative and won a series of beautiful results in the Proud Claw Star Region, Ou Juren found that Gallardo was a bit difficult to deal with.
At the Supreme Council, his criticism of Gallardo even attracted criticism from Prime Minister Qi Bodu.
This made him realize that he could not handle Gallardo.
On the one hand, the results of Gu Hang's battles outside greatly increased the prestige of the Prime Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs; on the other hand, he turned around and hugged the Prime Minister's legs.
This leg is thicker than Ou Juren.
The relationship between the two officially became hostile.
At this moment, it is natural to drive Gallardo out in disgust.
What's more, there is nothing wrong with what he said.
Gallardo was not qualified to participate in the discussion of the Supreme Council.
But Gallardo was not panicked at all. He just smiled and looked at Ou Juren.
Sure enough, someone spoke up.
"Let the Prime Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs stay. The results of our final discussion must be informed to him for execution. There is no need to do anything unnecessary."
"Thank you for your tolerance, Prime Minister." Before Ou Juren could speak, Gallardo leaned over and replied.
After raising his head, he smiled and said, "However, if you count it, I do have one thing to discuss at the conference."
"I want to impeach the Prime Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Ou Juren. I have evidence of Prime Minister Ou Juren's illegal and disorderly conduct, and I solemnly accuse him of being responsible for the collapse of the Western Front!"
