Chapter 473

The amount of information I got today was too great, and it felt as if Bao Zixuan was waiting for them there. Could it be that he has long known that the Argentines dared to attack the Falkland Islands? This is the news that the British intelligence agencies have not received. It seems that there must be a new understanding of the richest man's intelligence sources and capabilities.

In front of the two people is how to apply to the country for the military license of the Heiyun Group. This is the work of offending people. If one is not good, it will attract various domestic companies to hold grudges, and when you have a problem, you will definitely stand up to suppress you. After all, this group of people can do anything for the sake of profit, but now the two of them have no choice and are in a difficult situation.

After returning to the Governor's Palace, Youde said, "General Richard, I think the two of us will sign and apply to the country together. It is not up to us to decide whether London can agree or not."

Richard also knew that Governor Yoder wanted to get around him, and he didn't want to take the blame alone at this time. At this moment, it is almost impossible to be alone, and in the position of commander of the Hong Kong garrison, you must take the corresponding responsibility.

Richard: "No problem, as it should be."

When Iron Maiden arrived at the office in the morning, the secretary brought the telegram from Xiangjiang. After seeing the content, the strong woman said without hesitation: "An emergency parliament will be held this afternoon to discuss matters related to the Falkland Islands and the application submitted by Hong Kong."

The secretary said: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, you are sure that you will hold a parliament this afternoon, I am afraid it is too late."

Iron Maiden: "I'm talking about this afternoon, and people in the country have to rush over. What time is it now, we must pay attention to work efficiency."

The British Parliament is not easy to convene, but it has a strict system.

The British Parliament, also known as the Parliament of Westminster, is the highest legislature in the United Kingdom and the center stage of British politics. The government emerges from parliament and is accountable to it. Parliament is a bicameral system. The British Parliament is composed of the upper house, the lower house and the king. It exercises the highest legislative power of the country. The British Parliament was founded in the 13th century and has a history of more than 700 years. It is known as the "Mother of Parliament". Since there has been a parliament, meetings have usually been held in an old building in London, the Palace of Westminster. Meetings are held twice a year. The first session starts at the end of March and ends at the beginning of August, and the second session starts at the end of October and ends before Christmas in December.

In 1689, in order to limit the British crown, the British Parliament passed. The king's rights in economic, political, religious and other affairs are strictly limited, the basic principle that the parliament has the highest power is determined, and the rights that citizens should have are clearly defined. A new bourgeois constitutional monarchy was established in England.

Under normal circumstances, the prime minister can make decisions on his own, unless there is a difficult issue, the parliament will be convened for deliberation. The secretary did not expect that Iron Lady would attach so much importance to the Xiangjiang issue. It seemed that she had too little awareness.

Not only the secretary was surprised, but the parliamentarians who received the notice were puzzled. What is the Iron Maiden singing? The matter has become so urgent that the Argentines have launched an attack on the British mainland.

The members of the royal family didn't understand it very well after receiving the notice, but after all, it was during the war with Argentina. Could it be that there is a problem in the country or something major has happened.

The councillors who could feel it at two o'clock in the afternoon all appeared at the Palace of Westminster. The Prime Minister has the power to convene a temporary parliament, not to mention that it is wartime, and everyone does not want to provoke the Iron Lady. Not impossible.

At this time, it is very rare for all members of the upper and lower houses to gather together to hold meetings. Usually, they basically hold meetings separately.

Members of the House of Lords are not elected. They are composed of descendants of the royal family, hereditary nobles, legal nobles, family nobles, life nobles, Scottish nobles, Irish nobles, outgoing prime ministers, and bishops. There are currently 781 members with no term limit. The number of members of the House of Lords is uncertain because the Queen can temporarily increase the title, and the death of the member does not need to be added.

Many social classes and interest groups recognize the important position of the parliament, especially the lower house of parliament, in the country's political life, and they are eager to enter the lower house of parliament. Therefore, the House of Commons has gradually become the main activity place of the British social elite. To a certain extent, the House of Commons is the concentrated expression of British political and social life. The United Kingdom is divided into 650 constituencies, each electing a representative, with a total of 650 seats in the House of Commons.

Seeing the number of people attending the meeting, Iron Lady was in a much better mood. Except for a few who did not come back because of the long journey, this time the staff were very neat. Even more than when the fixed-time meeting was held, it seems that they also know what difficulties the country is facing at this time.

Seeing the crowd, Iron Maiden said: "Today, I have called everyone for a meeting temporarily, mainly around the follow-up of the incident of the Falkland Islands being attacked by the Argentines."

"As we all know, the British Empire has sent troops to safeguard the interests of the empire. But after all, it is an expedition of labor and division, which requires strong logistical supplies. Although we have temporarily refitted a lot of cargo ships, we can't solve all the problems, and the transportation speed of cargo ships is still too slow. The soldiers on the front line can't afford to wait, so yesterday I asked Youde, Governor of Hong Kong and Richard, Commander of the Hong Kong Garrison, to go to Heiyun Group to understand the situation, the ground effect aircraft is a very practical strategic transport tool."

"The data shows that the Xiangjiang monster ground effect aircraft did not disappoint. Governor Youde and General Richard also experienced it themselves, and they were full of praise for the performance of the aircraft."

"The purpose of convening everyone this time is because the Black Cloud Group does not have a military license, so it cannot supply the military. Even if the supply is a simplified version of the product, it does not even have the most basic self-protection ability."

"Therefore, Governor Youde and General Richard hope that the government will issue a military license to the Black Cloud Group. There is no precedent before, so I want to hear everyone's opinions."

If you knew that Iron Maiden said that the two of them applied for a military license for Heiyun, then they would not have sent this telegram anyway. This is not to offend people, let the military enterprise interest groups hate them!

No matter which country the military enterprises are in, they have deep personal connections~www.mtlnovel.com~ and the cake is so big, if Heiyun joins, it will definitely seize the share of other enterprises. Then the profits of other military industrial enterprises will be reduced accordingly, and it is strange that people can agree.

After hearing the Prime Minister's speech, a representative of the military industry stood up and said: "The British Empire has never authorized a military license for local companies in the colonies, which goes against tradition and damages the core interests of local companies. Therefore, there is nothing to discuss about this, and it must not be released. Open up."

Representatives of several other military-industrial companies also echoed. After all, this is something that harms their interests and is directly related to their income and assets.

Iron Maiden: "If you don't give the Heiyun Group a military license, the imperial soldiers will not be able to use the best means of transport. If you can't strike the enemy quickly, you will delay the fighter jets. If your company can produce ground effect aircraft within a week , then I don't have to hold this meeting."

At this time, a member of the royal family said: "Ladies and gentlemen! Now the country is at war with the Argentines. We will use all means to fight the enemy. If we cannot gather all the forces that can be gathered, then the victory will be lost. Therefore, I hope everyone can put aside their prejudices and agree to the outside world, and the interests of the British Empire are above all else."

At this time, the status of the royal family in the country was still very stable, and the speeches of the members of the royal family directly laid the last obstacle to the promotion of Heiyun Group to a military enterprise.

Now that the general direction has been determined, it is how to benefit from this matter. After all, the military license can't be handed over. You must get some benefits from Bao Zixuan. Who made him so rich!

Bao Zixuan didn't know that although he got the military license, he paid a lot of money.
