Chapter 4205, relying on the general trend
I just heard that Huo Qiguang gave the House of Lords a tough blow in front of everyone during the briefing!
Of course, to be serious, what Huo Qiguang is actually attacking is not the House of Lords, but the decision-making system of Kalember.
Compared with usual, the decision-making efficiency of this wave of House of Lords has been very high.
But in Huo Qiguang's view, it is still not enough!
Rescue is all about racing against time, and the sooner the response measures are launched, the better.
When the accident broke out, although Robert directly relied on his status as the leader of the Sol family to kill first and then report later, due to the lack of orders from the House of Lords, there were still some people who did not dare to take immediate action after receiving the order.
This situation undoubtedly greatly affects efficiency.
But in fact you can't say what these people did is wrong.
Because the system of Kalembel is like this, such a large-scale operation does not have an order from the House of Lords. According to the laws of Kalembel, they cannot carry out operations without authorization.
Therefore, you can say that these people lack courage and the ability to make decisions at critical moments, but you really can’t say that they did something wrong. They just followed the rules honestly.
Things in the past have already happened, and the painful price has been paid. There is no point in worrying about it anymore.
But in order to prevent similar situations from happening again in the future, Huo Qiguang really went all out this time.
He directly stated in public that Kalember's system must be reformed immediately.
Once the parliamentary system encounters such an emergency, it will become Kalember's Achilles' heel.
To this end, they need to establish a presidential system based on the original system of Kalember, so that one person can have maximum arbitrary power in such an emergency!
As one of the members of this rescue operation, Robert was also present at the briefing. In addition, MPs from the People's Party like Raymond and Liu Xing were undoubtedly also present.
Huo Qiguang's sudden appearance was undoubtedly beyond their expectations. Before this, they had no idea that Huo Qiguang was going to pull such a ruthless move!
But after listening to Huo Qiguang's remarks and considering the current situation at hand, it was difficult for them not to agree.
In the final analysis, the reason why Kalumber has maintained a separate parliamentary system is purely because no one of the upper-ranking families wants any other family to overpower them.
The parliamentary system can just allow them to have a bowl of water on the same page without overpowering anyone.
Robert still has a say in this matter.
At this moment, Huo Qiguang made a speech directly in public that he would establish a presidential system without consulting others in advance, and without reporting to the House of Representatives.
This approach of cutting first and telling later is very obvious. It is to take advantage of the general trend of the people to force the House of Lords to compromise, launch a presidential election, and establish a presidential system!
At this moment, the high-ranking congressmen who were watching Huo Qiguang's briefing through the live broadcast on the Internet were probably scolded.
And as soon as possible, he initiated a remote meeting with other high-ranking members to discuss how to deal with this matter next.
In their opinion, Huo Qiguang, the grand thief, is trying to usurp the throne this time!
And just when most of the high-ranking members formed a group to curse Huo Qiguang.
Some senior members of parliament, including Old John, fell silent.
The agitated upper-level congressmen soon discovered this abnormal situation after a lot of cursing.
Then they all asked Old John about their attitude.
Although everyone was scolding this old guy behind his back, no one could deny the influence and strength of Old John and his family among the upper class.
The attitude of this old guy can determine the decision-making and direction of a matter to a great extent.
Now that he noticed that the attention of other high-ranking congressmen had fallen on him, Old John's salty and not-so-brief voice immediately reached the ears of every high-ranking congressman through the Internet.
"If the invasion of the ghost troops cannot be resolved, then Kalumber will cease to exist. What's the point of wasting energy now and discussing how to target Huo Qiguang's presidential system?"
Old John's words are undoubtedly on point.
And this is where Huo Qiguang's skills are most powerful.
They not only use the general trend of the people to suppress them, but also use the situation to suppress them. Once this two-way pressure is suppressed, they have no choice at all.
"Then what should we do now? We can only agree?!"
Calm down and think about the situation, that is indeed what happened, but letting them take over like this is really hard to swallow.
Once the presidential system is established and a presidential election is launched, based on Huo Qiguang's current popularity among the people, it is almost a certainty that he will be elected president.
When the time comes, the status of these high-ranking families will surely suffer a huge impact!
Looking at several high-ranking congressmen who were obviously unwilling to accept this matter, Old John had deep eyes.
"If my guess is correct, the next step will be for Huo Qiguang to bring countless people to the House of Lords."
"..."
The facts were indeed as he expected. On the day of the meeting of the House of Lords, Huo Qiguang walked with great momentum.
At a glance, countless people almost filled the entire street, and the mighty parade surrounded Huo Qiguang and arrived outside the House of Lords.
After that, Huo Qiguang even accepted a wave of media interviews at the door of the House of Lords. During the interview, Huo Qiguang showed a determination to win.
Countless people outside were also shouting and cheering, and it seemed that if the House of Lords did not pass this decision, they would rush in all at once.
At the beginning of the meeting, Huo Qiguang had already put forward his own proposal in front of the upper-level congressmen who all looked unhappy.
The higher-ranking congressmen have long known the content of the proposal.
Unless they directly no longer want Kalember, otherwise, facing the presidential election that is already the general trend, they have no room to refuse.
But this does not mean that they will fully accept it. The benefits that should be fought for must still be fought for with all their strength.
According to Old John, one thing they must strive for is to establish the presidential system while retaining the parliamentary system and ensuring that their upper family’s seats in the House of Lords cannot be deprived by the president for any reason!
This approach of the upper-level congressmen was within Huo Qiguang's expectations, or it could be said that it was part of Ye Qingxuan's plan.
If you want these people in power to give up all their power directly, that would be unrealistic, just like they can't completely eliminate these people from Kalembel.
If we fight to the death at this point, it is not impossible for people to overturn the table when the time comes.
Therefore, retaining the parliamentary system while establishing a presidential system has become a relatively more acceptable approach for those in power at the upper levels.
Huo Qiguang, on the other hand, took this opportunity to win the "Interim President of Kalumber" on the grounds that the current situation in Kalumber was urgent and there was no time to slowly hold an election, and now there was a real need for a "president".
